Unable to remove CyanogenMod 7 - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I previously had Vahalla Black FB edition and enjoyed it. Prior to that I had Vahalla Black Final. VBF is the rom i'm currently trying to revert back to however since i've installed Cyanogenmod-7 it will not let me flash the new rom via CWM v5.0.2.8. I do not like CyanogenMod 7 and can't figure out how to get rid of it. I've done 3 or 4 different ROMS trying to test if I could have them installed but everytime it reverts me back after system reboot to CMD 7 and it's quite annoying. I no longer want this, how do i delete it to install VB Final or FB Edition? I've followed the install instructions to a T and to no avail.
Model : SGH-T959V
Andriod Version : 2.3.7
KJ6
Kernel : [email protected]#1
Mod Version : cyanogenmod-7-20120615-unofficial-galaxys4gMTD
Those are the current specs. Also, the main reason I switched from Vahalla Black FB edition was because my phone crashed one morning, HARD. It just started force closing and acting up. Thinking it was the ROM i installed this one. Now i want to unistall it, install Black Final ( non FB edition ).

Since CM7 is a MTD rom you'll need to use a one-click to get back to BML first. Or you could go to an ICS rom, but... if you want VBF back, you'll need a one-click.

[Q] Having trouble getting CM7 back on Gingerbread D2G

I have a D2G and I used to run Froyo-based CM7, but since the Gingerbread version is further along in development I went back to Gingerbread by SBFing. So I'm on 4.5.608 and neither of the two times I tried to flash CM7 did it work. I had to SBF twice. The first time, I got the file from Rootzwiki, and the second time I got the "7.1 Stable" file from Rom Toolbox. I used the same Google Apps package on both attempts.
So my questions are:
1. Can a Google Apps package get you stuck at the boot logo?
2. If the problem is my file, where can I go to get a good one?

In order for a Gingerbread ROM to boot it needs the Gingerbread Kernel. Are you booting with a white Motorola logo or a red one?
If it's still white and you're trying to boot Gingerbread CM7 it may be worth it to try to grab the .608 Gingerbread kernel from the TBH hack and flash that in. I've attached it to this post just in case.

7.1 Stable is probably the “official” CM7 build 7.1.0, from the cyanogenmod site.
That one is for Froyo (i.e. can only be installed over 2.4.x stock firmware).
As for RootzWiki builds… did you wipe data prior to or after installing the ROM via CWM?

Red. The SBF file put me in this situation:
System version: 4.5.608.A956.Verizon.en.US
Android version: 2.3.3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-gb092e69w360842ca25rhe92 #2
Build number: 4.5.1_57_D2G-38

Yeah, the reason is didn't download the stable one first is because I thought as far as anyone had gotten was 7.0 nightlies. I'm just baffled right now as to why I can't get the Gingerbread CM7. I hate stock haha
Before I flash, I backup, reboot, factory reset, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and even battery stats. Then I install CM, then gapps package, then reboot.
Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it!
Could you specify the file names for both CM7 and gapps you're using?
And you're wrong about RW builds being 7.0; they use the current CM7 source tree, and the “stable 7.1.0” is basically one of old Froyo builds by revnumbers.
Actually, I got everything from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1297517.html
I used the latest version "update-cm-7.1.0-DROID2WE" and the "gapps-gb-20110828".
The second time I used the CM file from Rom Toolbox and the same Google Apps package. So if a bad gapps package can eff you over, that's probably it. I just don't want to waste my time and try again before I have some xda-genius opinions haha
This is the Froyo-only “official” build. It will never work with a Gingerbread kernel.
As for ROM Toolbox, I have no idea. The gapps package seems to be the right one, however.
Head to http://ez-netsolutions.com/synik4l/x13thangelx/D2G/cm/ for the latest build of CM7 for the D2G. x13thangelx is currently the lead developer working on this project.
Thanks a lot!!!!!! You're the best haha I'll let you know if it works.
Refer to this thread on RootzWiki for more information: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3069-dev-threaddroid-2-global-cm7-with-gingerbread-leak-kernel/; note that the opening post hasn't been updated since forever, so you won't find the current build there.
And use this thread if you have any questions: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4922-cm7-for-droid2-global-users-thread/
Not necessary haha, but I got it and it's working and beautiful and every setting has been adjusted and I'm super happy again!=D You're my hero.

[Q] Remove Vahalla Final

Hi everyone. I recently installed Vahalla Final onto my phone, but I don't really like it. I wanted to go back to the stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, but I am unable to. I also did not back up my phone before this. Any tips???
Thanks
Go to the Wiki and look for list of ROMs - KJ6 Heimdall One - Click.
On my phone and finally found the link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/List_of_ROMs
You can use any of the methods to get to stock KJ6 GB. Heimdall, CWM or ODIN.
You can use titanium backup to backup your data apps.

Upgrade CWM and Cyanogenmod?

I'm currently running CWM 2.5.1.2 that came with a Gingerbread ROM and I wanted to know if there is a way to upgrade it without having to lose all my data and starting from scratch. I have ROM Manager and it says that its the latest version so I figured I would have to flash it manually. After looking around I see that there are cases of people successfully getting newer versions of CWM working on their devices but most aren't stable. I also want to know if the Infuse can support Cyanogenmod 7 or above. It seems there are a lot of perks to having the mod.
Thanks!
Cwm is packed in our kernels, which means you get whatever version is used on the rom/kernel.
GB has the red one (I believe that is yours)
ICS is blue (5.x.x)
JB is blue w/ gray background (6.x.x)
We are already in cyanogenmod 10 and it is incredible. Take a look at the dev section for more options.

So, I knew that the Red CWM was often the one that has the Voodoo Lag Fix options and all...
Which CWM was the green one?
I had never seen it before until I rooted my friend's phone, and somehow had a green CWM until I put ICS on. I'm really not sure where I grabbed the package from with CWM. <_<
Don't use ROM manager. Usually it will bootloop after flashing.
Some apps you may be able to restore settings for non-system apps from titanium backup. I've done this a couple times to restore my bookmarks in dolphin. I don't think that would work for the stock browser if you change ROMs.

I think it was from Froyo.. when you had to first change the 3e recovery to a modded one in order to flash an update.zip that would install cwm.

OooooHHH! Yeah. That's right.
Wow, that had been so long, the green CWM felt foreign to me. =X
Froyo... Froyo... It sounds so distant and antiquated.

[Help] No Service

After flashing a couple of ROMs today/attempting to, I am no longer recieving any service from my carrier.
Here is what I did:
I started off on Slim Bean 4.1.2 with working recipetion.
1. Attempt to flash Vahalla Black FB Edition. (Failed) It just wouldn't flash and TWRP said I had no OS installed.
2. Attempt to flash TFQ Vahalla Final Mod (Failed) Same problem.
3. Attempt to flash the Antrox Kernel linked in the TFQ Vahalla Final Mod.
4. Used Hemidall Back To Stock
5.Flashed Team Acid AOKP Milestone. (Worked) However, there is no recipetion now.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
go to setting, about phone, or something and see waht it says for baseband. that will tell if a modem flashed properly or not.
Flash back to stock and stay there till you understand that your not following directions.
You have lost your imei.
And its very simple fix,and if you would follow instructions ....you wouldn't mess it up.
What I always do is after you format system ....remount system....
It should look like this.....unmount/system.
So long as it says that you will be fine.
Oh and btw...you can not flash back from ics or jb to gb without first flashing back to stock with a one click.

Service is working fine however, my goal was to go back to GingerBread but after I use the one-click back to stock, I am forced into a recovery mode that is unable to mount /system /cache /data and I can not flash anything except AOKP Milestone 6 which then works fine.
I don't know what's goin wrong for you.....I have only ever used Odin to flash back to stock
Gremlin remover one click and have never had an issue.

[Q] lost network and need help

ok lets start from the beginning,
flashed beanstalk, decided i liked vanilla rootbox better, i kept getting a error when trying to flash vanilla, used odin to unroot and flash back to stock (cell was functional at that time)
SOC failed (kept saying not responding) so i figured i had to flash a pre-rooted stock version had red CWM, then i flashed latest build of vanilla, when it booted, i noticed i had no connectivity, decided to try and flash avatarROM 6.5 that failed, so i restored from a backup i had of it, once it booted still no connectivity, decided to try and flash a modem to see if that was the issue, booted, and still nothing, my final hope was to go all the way back to the beginning to step 3 and flash a pre-rooted stock, guess what......now i have network......wtf! it looks like im stuck on 2.2.1 until i can get some help, anything at all is helpful yesterday my phone was perfectly fine now im stuck in this hell called froyo lol
Sounds like you lost your IMEI while working your way back up to Rootbox. In case you didn't know about it, check out andros11's guide to flashing JB. Follow it closely and you'll be up and running in no time.
--------- More info ----------
Beanstalk uses a new partition scheme. So you can't flash from Beanstalk to Avatar (or Rootbox) without going back to stock first and then working your way back up. At least until those ROMs are updated to the new partitions.
Thank you. I talked to andros And he said the same thing looks like i jumped the gun on things lol

Fixed and solution
for anyone that finds heimdall confusing or wont work and can only use odin all you gotta do is....(this is what i used to get from froyo to JB)
follow these in the order that the links are shown
STEP 1: i lost the link to the rooted stock for froyo but you should be able to find one easily
heres the link for GB rooted stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1613523
install the rooted stock via odin method and follow ALL instructions (READ THE WHOLE PAGE!)
ONCE YOU GET TO THIS POINT DEPENDING ON THE STOCK ROM YOU HAVE EITHER FROYO OR GB
IF YOU HAVE FROYO COMPLETE STEP TWO IF YOU HAVE GB AND A RED CWM SKIP TO STEP 4
STEP 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozNVeGPUlU8 -custom recovery to get green 2.x CWM
STEP 3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...6&highlight=gb this is the gingerbread rom i used in my process to get to JB (DO NOT JUMP THE GUN READ THIS.......OPEN UP THE NEXT LINK AS WELL AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THEY APPLY FOR THIS AS WELL IT IS A MUST IF YOU WANT THIS TO WORK) supplemental video to help with instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndC39t1AE-k
STEP 4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=ics follow instructions again same as step 4
STEP 5: provided is the rom for ics i used (beware has new partion and cannot flash other roms such as avatarROM afterwards refer to location at bottom marked **1**) you can use any JB rom that you would like this just happens to be the one i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2059535 once you get to ics you should have gotten the blue CWM and then just follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1878458
