Help with custom ROM flashing

After searching on this forum for a few hours, I am still unable to figure out what is wrong with my phone.
On my Galaxy S 4G, I have rooted it, and then I proceeded to the flashing guide here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
But after I install CWM, I am unable to install a custom ROM. I am able to get to the Red CWM, but when I try to backup my current ROM, or install from SD card, it says that it cannot mount E:/blah blah blah
How should I fix this error?
I tried going to Mounts and Storage in CWM, and the sdcard is "mount".
I am really confused, so if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it

That blah blah blah its actually important. What can't mount? If sd is mounted, then it should say "unmount"...

Ok, so it's the red "CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x"
I go down to install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard > Select blackice_voodoo.zip
Then, it says on the bottom in white words
"CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x
--Installing: /sdcard/BlackIce_Voodoo.zip
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /sdcard/BlackIce_Voodoo.zip
Installation aborted"
Now, when I tried to use the Backup function, it tells me
"Can't mount /sdcard"
I went to Mounts and Storage menu, and selected the "-mount /sdcard" and it gave me "Error mounting /sdcard!"
Is there any more information you need to help me?

in CWM are your mounts Unmounted mounted mounted unmounted in that order?
What firmware is currently on there? the tmobile GB kj6 or the original Froyo?

Right now, my CWM mounts are as listed:
-Unmount /cache
-mount /data
-mount /sdcard
-unmount /system
So yes, it is in that order. I read something about
Code:
A) For KD1 and Bionix Frost your mounts must appear like this:
/cache : unmount
/data : mount
/sdcard : mount
/system : unmount
B) For Trigger your mounts must appear like this:
/cache : unmount
/data : unmount
/sdcard : mount
/system : unmount
I got this on Ebay and I had no clue what the seller did to it, but I think it's the original Froyo.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKD1

So you are on 2.2. I would back up the sd card. Then format it by plugging it directly into the computer, formatting. then putting it back into the phone boot into cwm. Formatting it again. Placing the files you want on the root. Trying again. let me know

Oh, after I got CWM working, I went into the Rommanager app, and flashed from SD card, and I chose BlackIce_Voodoo.rar and it got stuck on the "Galaxy S exclusively for T-mobile" screen. I understand that after flashing a rom, it takes around 10 mins on that screen, but I have waited overnight, and it still has not booted. Now, I can't even boot into CWM anymore. How should I handle this situation? The whole phone is bricked, and CWM is not accessible anymore.
I also tried turning it off, holding volume up & down, and plugging the wire in to enter download mode, but it failed to do that. So I guess I can't use odin either.

Please, Don't use ROM Manager on this phone.
I'm not sure how to solve this if it can boot to the splashscreen but not get to download mode.

Thanks, I didn't know that from before Since I already did it, how can I "undo" the effects of Rom Manager? I already put the new Update.zip into the root of my SD card. But I am unable to reinstall packages using CWM because I can't access it .

Try using plugging it in and look at Odin again. I heard it can recognize devices sometimes even if the screen is blank.
Edit: If you get your phone up and running again, use the Gingerbread Starter Pack guide to flash a GB ROM without any problems.

Try downloading the Android SDK, install it, when you run it the first time, only download the platfoem tools. Once that's installed, open a command prompt, CD to where the platform-tools directory is located.(prob C:\Program Files\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\platform-tools) and type:
Adb reboot download
Or
Adb reboot recovery
For download mode & recovery mode, respectively.

I found all of them from the flashing guide, to CWM guide, to rooting guide. But the Odin guide only teaches me how to flash a ".tar" file, not a .rar file.

AH! Well, you don't flash the rar file!
You unzip it and flash it's contents
Some rom modders use rar, others use 7zip (because they usually have limited space to store their mods, compress it good!)
I dislike Odin, as it is proprietary and has no support and few updates.
I prefer Heimdall, as it is free, has support, and updates often.
Hope that helps.

I unzipped it and its a bunch of files inside folders :\ Theres the data folder, META-INF, scripts, system, tools, updates, permissions. How do I flash folders?
I got Heimdall, but I am still unable to add the BlackIce_Voodoo.rar in.
It says "Tar header contained an invalid file size."
Edit: I just read about there being an "Audiophile" ROM for the T959V. Since I care about my music quality, I decided to get that.
I downloaded a zip called "redux 1.3.2.zip" from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195878&highlight=Audiophile
And I am clueless to how to flash a zip file :\
I tried extracting the files, and I am still clueless to how to flash those files/folders.

Your UNrar program... Guessing winrar, unrar'd the rar file and contained a zip file, that you thought was a folder.
You flash that zip file from cwm.

NEW Root method for Motorola Android Phones

Hi! I just created this thread to let you know that thanks to user dettofatto and me, there's a new root method for Motorola Android Phones (I don't know if it will work for other brands).
NOTE: I tried this method with Gingerbread, I don't know if this will work with other versions.
The method is far from easy, but it works if none of the existing exploits and tricks don't.
Ok, there are some simple-like steps to root your phones:
1. If you have an unrooted gingerbread, ask for a rooted gingerbread userdata partition image (aka CG37) with a modified local.prop file and USB debugging enabled.
The value that you need to modify is ro.sys.atvc_allow_all_adb from 0 to 1.
IMPORTANT: The best you can do is to double wipe the phone and then modify local.prop an allow USB debugging, so the data partition doesn't have any of your personal information.
Then you can create a userdata partition image by typing this in the shell (with root access)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/userdata of=/sdcard/CG37.smg
or
Code:
busybox dd if=/dev/block/userdata of=/sdcard/CG37.smg
and let it do its work.
2. Once you got your CG37.smg in the SD card, you will have to boot into linux (so you can use sbf_flash).
3. When you are in linux, you need to extract the folder contained in the zip that you can download here mediafire.com/?n100jj66130lgra
4. Then you need to copy the CG37.smg and your original SBF (the non rooted one) to that folder.
5. Now you'll have to start a terminal with root permissions, and move to the folder by typing
Code:
cd <folder>
(where folder is the folder I just mentioned, without the <>, you can drag the folder to the terminal if you don't want to type its address)
4. Then you need to resize that partition to 200 Mb, since sbf_flash won't allow you to flash a big image (approx. 1,1 Gb). You have to type this
Code:
efsck -f CG37.smg
resize2fs CG37.smg 200M
5. Then you need to type
Code:
chmod +x sbf_flash
and then you need to start your phone into bootloader and connect it to the computer, then you type
Code:
./sbf_flash -r --userdata CG37.smg ORIGINAL.sbf
(where ORIGINAL corresponds to the name of your SBF)
and let it its work.
5. Once the phone started up, you now need to run this command
Code:
bash finishroot.sh
And let it finish the work.
6. Now you have your phone rooted. You can just reboot into recovery mode and do a double wipe, because the files that we needed are now in system partition.

Great!!

can't unzip attached!!

It seems xda forum doesn't allow me to add attached files or links. So look at the step 3, the link is there.

didn't upload the sbf_flash, the one i use it stuck in waiting for devices. can't enter bootloader mode, when press @ doesn't appear the menu option. any ideas?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Done! I uploaded the zip file again with the sbf_flash included, the one I used to flash my phone

Do you actually need the full userdata (I mean userdata as initialized after first boot following a wipe)? Or is having an essentially empty userdata with just the adb directive in local.prop all that's needed? Or does local.prop get ignored if you trigger some "first boot after wipe" tripwires? XT720 is eclair/yaffs2 so some details would be different but the concept is good. I'm just wondering about the "how could you get a rooted userdata" chicken/egg problem if no other rooting method already existed for the phone...

It's gone! Thank you!
I suggest you to reboot in standard recovery... and do it a double wipe..

help...
Anyone ca poste the CG37.smg

I've just created a thread there, let's hope someone helps us
Do you think we could use the CG37 from other (similar) devices?
For example, as far as i know, the milestone 2 is very similar to the defy and the Pro looks similar too.
We just need it to boot, so we can push the needed files to system.
Have you uploaded your CG37 somewhere, so i can test in on my MS2?

Any word on if this will work on DX 621?
I posted on DXF to see if one of the people who took it will try.

Could it be possible to re-upload the required files? The mediafire link in the OP says it has been removed for violation... I was going to try this method for a DX 621, despite having the 604 root method, it would be nice to actually have the 621 kernel.

Hey there!
I really like this development, even though I don't own a Motorola phone. But I thought this deserved a spot on the Portal:

File removed for violation ... ??

I am working on this for the DX right now, there's an issue with making the .smg via dd, as the data partition on the DX is 8GBs. Most microSD cards are FAT32, which doesn't support an 8GB file (4GB max filesize). I got around this by piping dd through gzip and moving the file off for testing.

The only original file you need is the Unlock_code.bin. They emailed this to you, that's the only way you can get the file. So if you did not delete the email, you can just go and download it again from your email. If you did delete it, it's most likely still in your email's trash bin.
BTW you do not need any original files to relock. Just boot back into fastboot usb mode and do as they said in the thread "fastboot oem lock"

I still have the file that htc emailed me. But in the instructions it list needing to move 2 other files to the android folder you create.
So basically just move the unlock.bin to that folder and follow the instructions as normal?

Are you talking about these 3 files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe? Really he shouldnt have said to move them. You can leave them where they are at. On your PC navigate to C:\Android\platform-tools and they should all be there still. Look and see if they are. If they are not, then I can send them to you.
If they are still there, then you just navigate to that directory in CMD prompt and follow his instructions. Where he says to navigate to C:\Android you instead navigate directly to C:\Android\platform-tools in cmd. Does that make sense?

I never had a directory called C:\android\platform-tools. I could not get any fastboot commands to work without having those 3 other files in the same directory as the Unlock_code.bin I was trying to push. Which is why I told them to put them together, to avoid the same issue I was having.

if you update your SDK to the latest you will see. Everyone should update their sdk once every month or so. you put your unlock file in that folder too, it's same instructions they tell you, but instead of moving those files out, you keep them there and you move your unlock file in. so you don't break the SDK for future stuff.

First of NEVER unzip a rom file if you plan to flash it, because that breaks the signature. You need to go and download it again, and this time leave it zipped.
YOU MUST BE ROOTED!
You will flash it with something called ROM manager. For the atrix2 you will need to go to the development section and get the Atrix2 bootstrap from Here.
You might want to do a little googling about flashing android ROMs to get a little better idea about it. Also NEVER install a ROM for the Atrix2 that you did not get from the Atrix2 development section on here.
There is no linux knowledge needed to flash ROMs.

You have to make sure you turn signature checking off in the advanced menu to make that happen though. I have been down that path too many times, and forgot that.

LOL... I just have ROM kitchen do it, if you do the interactive it will ask at the very end if you want to sign your rom... It defaults to yes, so technically it takes longer to type n then return.... LOL...
I have my way that I call the ROM kitchen that does it all without asking me anything, and it zipaligns, deodexes, converts the update/updater-script (let's me make any edits), then creates the ROM, and signs it. I just scripted it all. I also have another one that creates the workspace and converts any image files/fxzs for me and turns them into working folders.

thanks

I tried the trickdroid ROM but i dont see any benefits, instead there are downsides, like wifi disconnecting and so on. I would like to go back to the original Stock ROM but i do not have the boot.img and nandroid does not back it up along with my backup. Without it, my wifi does not work.
Where can i get this boot.img, or can someone give it here? Thanks!

You can try this stock. by the way , I'm using Trickdroid V1.0,I do not have WiFi problem at all.You have to manually flash the boot img using fastboot.

i have strange problems where my 3g or wifi will stop connecting on TD. Even if i go to airplane mode it does not recover. I have to reboot phone. But last time i did not do a backup of my boot.img.. thats why i need it now

Is it possible that i just get the boot.img instead of downloading the whole giant file? thanks!

RUU file is a install script setup launcher where you can install onto your window then connect your phone to usb , execute this file , then follow the instruction on the screen . I do not have the boot img.

Possible to extract only the boot.img but not without downloading the whole big file.
Open the .exe and make sure that it fully started.
Don't click anything, just go to windows icon and search for %temp%.
You will now find some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip.
If you found it, you can copy it to your desktop or somewhere else.
Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img.
Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
Plug in your One S, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode.
Navigate with the cmd in the folder with the fasboot.exe and the two .img's.
Now type in that:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
