Need a little help.

Not sure if this is the correct fourm but since i didnt see a tech support forum figured this might be the most logical spot to put it.
My current device is a Samsung galaxy s 4g
Carrier T mobile
Rom
[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED
Flashed with Odin3 v1.7
The issue i had is i wanted to install the bali kernel onto the phone i downloaded the 2.1 kernel from the forums non UV version but i don't know how to flash it. I tried to find it in the forums but i don't really see any clear directions how to flash it some say clockwork don't have it don't know how to install it. Sorry for my nubness. Then i did try to flash it using odin3 which soft bricked the phone phone computer with a little line going though it. Fixed that without much issue.
Id like Try out non stock kernels and i love what u guys do with the roms but i guess im a little stumped cause i don't know how to eather a find the missing apps i needed or how to flash it properly though odin3. If im totally off the mark im sorry and please forgive me again for my noobness.

OK your probably gonna here some $h1t for not searching but I'll Hook you up. OK you need to go to the cwm final post by krylon360. That will get you cwm. Once u have cwm setup you will boot into recovery and select reinstall packages, this puts you into cwm.
Know to flash the kernel go to "install zip from sdcard" and locate the zip( Bali kernel ) and confirm installation. Let it do its thing and BAM you have Bali kernel. HOPE THIS HELPS YA.
**edit**
To navigate in recovery and cwm use the volume keys to go up and down and power to select.

hey i did look but i guess i was looking for the wrong thing cause everything i came up seemed to be for different devices. Guess im a little more stumped cause the first file i downloaded off the fourm post i found seemed to be a html file? IF that is correct then ok ill go from there and i assume once i stick the zip file on the root of the sd card reboot to recovery mode and install it? This is what i was more confused about then anything.

[Q]Does someone interesting?

From china gfans group, someone release ICS for A2 with .tar.gz file.
Link: http://bbs.gfan.com/mobile/android-...age=1&orderby=dateline&filter=2592000
I'm downloading ,when I finish I'll try to upload for mirror link.
Sent from my ME865 using xda premium

First!
ZOMG I'm getting excited like I was the last time someone fake posted stuff about ICS I check those forums every once in a while but can't understand most of it anyway.
THANKS A LOT for posting!!! Downloading now (gah I hate that 115 website the speeds are SO SLOW)

Excellent! This is likely a leak for the ME865 since it is hosted on a Chinese file site, but anything could help us at this point. I'm also downloading the file, but at this rate it will take 1-2 hours to finish....

Yeah after the first moment my expectations aren't too high (don't want to be crushed down again lol). At least we have a download link this time . And there has to be something within 346 mb of stuff so let's hope for the best.

I hope it can be flash into A2 by fastboot.
Otherwise I am new in android dev.

Once we get it I would not recommend flashing it in fastboot. To begin with, if you flashed the whole thing and it worked then you might never be able to flash back to GB or update to final ICS. However I highly doubt that it would flash due to partition signature differences...
If it's in a ROM.zip format then I would flash it but be wary... make sure that it's rooted (search in /system/bin and /system/xbin for "su") because we might not be able to root this firmware.

Sorry? I'm not quite sure what you mean by "baselape..."
But it is an fxz/sbf... so unless you've decided to be REALLY adventurous DON'T FLASH IT to an MB865.

I've mirrored it here.
Should be a tad faster than China.
And yes, don't flash this unless you support toddler murder.

Why shouldn't we try to flash it? is there a chance we can't fxz back to 2.3.5? I'll see If I can get the radio working with a current build I have.

By "program" do you mean the app? If not, download the app from the market (Play Store).
Or, just fix permissions in ROM Manager. Works every time for me.

That's the issue I'm having is that rom manager/cwm isn't fixing permissions

It is impossible to fix permissions unless busybox is installed properly.

Yup, needs busybox. Download the app and install it.
PS--When people say cwm on this site they mean cwm recovery, not rom manager. Not everyone uses the term correctly of course, but just thought I'd let ya know.

well ill take note of those differences aha thanks for the heads up, and im gonna try installing the 17b update and see if that fixes my issues
just a quick edit:
when i do go into busybox its the free version and it says "BusyBox null is installed" then "Busybox is installed to sh:<stdin>[1]:not found"
then gives me the option to install 1.20.1
so do i need to spend the money to upgrade to busy box pro?

Status Error 7 Problem

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket for AT&T. I have been rooted for a year now. I have installed a ton of roms over this time period.
However, now, everytime I try to install a ROM I always get the Status 7 Error message.
-I have wiped the phone 3-4 times before attempting to install a rom
-I updated CWM to 6.0.1.3 (latest version)
-I have installed a kernel first before attempting to install a ROM
-I have used a MacBook and a regular PC desktop to download the ROMs
I did everything above to try and see if the different ways work, but nothing did.
Now I can't use my phone since I can't install a ROM. Could someone please help?
Thank you in advance!

Here are my few suggestions:
Might try using odin to go back to stock. The sticky threads around here should be helpful for that.
Have you tried TWRP? Or sk8r's CWM touch? Some people have better luck with one recovery over others.

Take out the top couple lines involving the word assert and showing a model number
It happens due to ROM makers putting that in to protect from bricks there is normally a toggle in recoveries to ignore it

Negative. I did a ton of thread digging, I know I can just revert back to original rom with ODIN, but I'd rather not do it. I am looking for the simplest answer so that I can create a thread about it for people who do not want to search for hours and complete those lucrative tasks.
Also, MOST answers are like yours; they tell people what to do, but if people don't understand the 'lingo', the answer is useless. People need/want specifics, and that is what I am trying to do in the thread I am going to create. People shouldn't have to dig in threads with over 100+ pages.
Thank you for your help though.

I am not aware of a CWM flashable back-to-stock zip. You need to use a computer and either Odin or Heimdall it back. Qkster said to look at his thread and I recommend following that advice. His Heimdall package works pretty well.

dman's uclb3 CWM flashable
I have never used it, but dman's uclb3 is CWM flashable. You might want to read the thread carefully as always.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22775901
When I asked recently about the confusing (to me) comments about video near the beginning of that thread, it was clarified that video depends on the kernel, and those comments do not apply if you have the latest GB kernels from Entropy or Zen ( which have no video problems)
Others are welcome to chime in if I have missed something important.

Man, I've been through about every post there is about the infuse on every site you can imagine. You know you're at the right place when every other site either quotes somebody from here or just straight up links you back to xda. If you can't find what you're looking for with a simple search on here then you shouldn't be doing what you're trying to do or you have a truly unique problem which is rare.
To get to the point, I don't think you can flash back to stock from cwm but if you succeed in doing so, please post your results and how you did it. If you're trying to fix a bad flash or getting the phone ready to sell or for any other reason, there is no replacing odin in my opinion. I know that flashing a ROM from cwm is super easy, but odin is just a hair less easy. Even if you have to borrow a computer, it should take no more than 10 minutes including download time. Thats my two cents. Take it or leave it. Best of luck to you.

Jelly bean ROMs use a different system partition that cwm can't change. If you flash the stock ROM you will get stuck at the Samsung screen.
If you are in jelly bean you need to Odin or heimdall back to stock.

No worries, I wasn’t taking offense to your comments. I was fishing for information about possible limitations of dman's uclb3 CWM flashable GB package (That info did come later in csandman1977’s post where he identified that package won’t work when coming from Jelly Bean.). Please don't hesitate to share your experience and thoughts here.

I think you’re talking about dman's uclb3 CWM flashable.
As identified by csandman above, it won’t work coming from Jelly Bean. I’m not sure about ICS.
I’m pretty sure it would work fine coming from any Froyo or GB Rom.
