I'm superoneclick stupid; I've never used it. Does it install CWM? If not, you'll need to install CWM. One of the ways is through Krylon360's post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
Or installing a ROM/kernel that has CWM.
ROM Manager does not work for the SGS4G. In order to get a working CWM Recovery Menu you will need to ODIN a custom kernel with CWM already installed. If you want to stay on froyo you will need drhonk's Bali v3.3 kernel, and if you want to update to gingerbread you can follow FB's GB Starter Pack guide. All of these can be found in the android development section.
I also suggest you read this (among other things) before proceeding:

Also get prepared to be flamed. Sorry.
Thanks but can i flash a costum kernel on the stock rom? i had other devices before this one, and i never got this kind of problems, thats why im asking.
Flash one of honks kernels via Odin.

Get your ROM here
T959VKD1 fully flashable through CWM
For those of you who are not sure if they have CWM of if you have Gingerbread Boot loaders installed follow this guide
GB Ext4 Starter Pack
Or use ODIN and install the ROM
T959VKD1 DeOdexed
If you have any boot loop or boot up problems just go through these steps again and try the ODIN again afterwards.
GB Ext4 Starter Pack
*** Read each step carefully! Do not skip anything (unless your going to use Kies to update to a stock official Rom)!! ***
*** If your going to use kies to go to a stock update then you might want to change step 10) to this
Step 10) Go into the voodoo menu > Disable lagfix and /system lagfix off
You should be able to update using Kies after this. You will lose root capabilities but if you’re looking to go back to stock then that's a given.
Dmx is partially correct. If you want pure, you'll have to odin Kc1 stock rom, which has froyo bootloaders. I think some searching on this forum will grant you a link. I know I've seen it somewhere.

You can't update to KD1 using Kies, it only updates you to KJ6. If you plug your phone onto Kies with KC1, it says phone can't be updated FYI. The closest to KD1 would be deodexed KD1, I can't remember where I found the original odex KD1 but I have the file.

So, apparently I can get the KD1 to flash properly but when I try to update via Samsung Kies Mini it won't recognize my device. Also, when I flash the KC1 I get a boot loop and nowhere do I see anything about removing bootloop in the GB Ext4 link. Also, how do I get rid of the Root when I flash KD1?

What message/error are you getting from Kies? Mine was telling me my device was not registered. I had to flash back to KD1 & register the device @ Samsung. After that I was able to flash to KJ6 with Kies.
Ah, so I need to register my device on the samsung website? My Kies mini was saying my phone isn't recognized so I don't know what else is going on.
Edit: I just NOW realized where the IMEI number was! lol, forgot it was under about phone. Gosh, so silly.

ODIN back to KD1 and make sure you have settings, applications, development, USB debugging turned on. Then try Kies again. Don't worry about root just update with kies. It will all go back to stock.
Samsung galaxy s 4g... Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hello dmx, i have tried to download this file of urs, but the link is dead.... Pls help me, i'm have the same issue with my galaxy s 4g since i ve upgraded it to gingerbread... It kicked me back in every window, text, calls, freezen, reboot.... God bless
If you're wanting to get back to KD1, go grab FBis251's KD1 one-click. You'll probably have to flash it twice & the 2nd time make sure you have "Flash bootloaders" checked. It'll probably boot into recovery & when it does, do a factory reset, wipe the cache, and select reinstall packages. After that you'll be on stock KD1. Make sure you back up your contacts and any other files/apps you want to keep.
Dear Stephen, Thanks for your info. However, I would not wanna flash twice... I will just wait for DMX to reply me if he can get the link working again..... I really wanna do it thru Kies because am sending it back for warranty

DMX is probably not going to get back to you. The file Stephen linked you to is a repackaged version of the file DMX posted a while back. It is completely stock.
It won't matter that you're not flashing it through Kies, since your phone will wind up with the same stock KD1 files anyway. They won't be able to tell the difference if you're sending it back for warranty.
Stephen is the one you want to listen to. He recommended flashing it twice in case you are on Gingerbread and need Froyo bootloaders.
You do not need to be on KD1 to send phone back. KJ6 is an official release and you an send it in using KJ6.
EDIT: What FB said We must have been writing our posts at the same time.

1. for restoring stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
2. use superoneclick to root
3. Install clockwork recovery and rom manager
4. Install custom roms.
Wait before you flash that, what firmware version did it come with???

Pretty sure it came with 2.2 but not sure.
Then I wouldn't do that 2.1 Odin one click.... Look for a stock 2.2 Odin or Heimdall, make sure to read thoroughly too.

Note: as b-eock pointed out, make sure what was your stock version before restoring it!
I've always just flashed newer than my stock to avoid that problem and it always works well for me, after bricking or when i want to flash a new rom i flash to cappy gingerbread and flash boog kernal to get CWM(clockworkmod). CWM is essential is you plan on flashing to other roms. If you plan on flashing to another rom anyways it doesn't matter which version of stock you load as long as it work so I'd just flash 2.2 or newer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
- this has all the odin 1-click flashable packages for captivate
To do everything you want to do...
flash back to stock, use 2.2 or one of the 2.3 versions. If you plan on flashing to a gingerbread rom (2.3) you'll most likely need the gingerbread bootloaders, if you don't originally flash a odin package with the gingerbread bootloaders you might be asked to install them later depending on what rom you use
incase you don't know odin is the computer program used to flash one click packages, you can find it by searching XDA, one click packages won't require it.
odin has to be open before you plug the usb into the phone putting it into download mode.
to flash to other roms you need CWM (ClockWorkMod-a customized recovery mode for the phone) the thread in this post has links to odin flashable kernals with CWM for each software build. To get CWM flash the respective kernal for the version you use. You'll need odin to flash the new kernal, its essentially stock apart from CWM. In odin select PDA and browse to the kernal zip to flash it.
you can search around XDA for oneclickroots, they will typically be odin or CWM flashable it's quite straight forward. New roms will typically already be rooted so you shouldn't have to root again.
good luck!
Does anyone know which exact ODIN i need to flash to get back to 2.2 from download mode.
You can use adamoutler's uckb2 heimdall one click. That's stock 2.2.
But whitch ODIN do i use.
Gez, HTC is so much easier then this samsung!

Unfortunately, there is currently no Odin one-click of stock Froyo (at least that I'm aware of). If you want stock Froyo, you'll need to either piece it together with full Odin, or use the Heimdall One-Click.

Take a look in this post. That should get you the right 3E recovery.
Once you have that, you can either use ROM Manager to install CWM recovery, or see if you can find a kernel with it already baked in and use ODIN to flash the kernel (look for the speedmod kernel).
Or you could flash stock GB, but that updates bootloaders and is a whole different can of worms.

Normally, the answer would be yes. However, as part of the Froyo update, AT&T managed to mess up the recovery menu, meaning that it won't flash unsigned packages. This makes getting CWM basically impossible without doing the steps in that post or flashing a different kernel.
You can root if you want to, but doing the steps in that post first will save you some headache.

I already rooted =/ , should i still try this?
If you have full ODIN, go here, and download the kernel labeled "speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar" at the end of the first post. Open Odin, and in the "PDA" slot, navigate to the .tar file and flash it. That will get you the speedmod kernel, which has CWM, which you need to be able to flash.
Once it's flashed, just hold V+/V-/Power until it reboots, and then you'll be in CWM and can flash MIUI.
I'm assuming you've backed up all your apps with Titanium Backup, right? If you haven't, do that before you do anything else so you don't lose them.

If u want stock official ics then you will need to update through kies and the update won't take place if you are not 100% stock....so yeah you will lose root in the process...unless you flash a rooted version of stock ics.

As far as I know you must be 100% stock otherwise the phone will not update. If I am incorrect then someone speak up please.
As for rooting after, this shouldn't be an issue
Edit: you shouldn't lose data during the update but I believe you will lose data when flashing stock so essentially you will lose data

Technically you don't have to have a custom recovery to be rooted. If he's on gb he could have just rooted with super oneclick and left his stock recovery alone
When an ota update was pushed you could take the update if you were rooted but you had to still have stock recovery, and it would break root in the process. If you had a custom recovery then the update wouldn't take. You had to either push stock recovery with Odin or flash a custom firmware of the new base.

Ok, here's what I did to update to ICS 4.0.4 UCLF6 and I didn't lose any data and I was rooted, etc.
Download the file from sammobile here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-I727&r=-1#modelsa (the version shows 4.0.3, but that's a mistake, when it installs it shows 4.0.4 UCLF6). You'll need odin to install it. Once you install it via odin, it'll reboot and do it's initialization, etc. You'll revert to stock recovery and lose root. Once your phone boots and finishes loading, etc. Go back into download mode and flash CWRM via odin to get a new recovery. Once you have new recovery, you can then flash via recovery the root package which you can download directly from the source here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
You'll want to download the latest 3.1.3 arm (not just the binary, the Superuser.apk and su). This should do the trick!

That is a beginning step in rooting your phone. It is referring to Clockwork Mod Recovery which must be flashed in Odin. If u don't plan on rooting then disregard that stuff. You are good to go!

No. You need to read better. The link I sent allows you to upgrade to GB without kies and then further on. Now what you can do is uninstall kies and any other Samsung driver from PC, switch USB port and use heimdall to flash to rooted GB. From there zip flash ICS and then JB...
If you say you don't have boot you probably don't have bootloaders. Please follow instructions and read them well.

You might be getting confused. Please go back to the link provided by itzik2sh and study the guide on using Heimdall. It's fairly lengthy but completely accurate. It will show you how to use Heimdall to get to stock GB, how to use Heimdall to root your phone by flashing AntonX's kernel, how to flash the necessary bootloaders, and even how to get your device into download mode. It's pretty much foolproof...and it works...please do your homework...we will be grading you.

bro i did all heimdall one clicks...stock kj6, stock+root, stock kf1..,,but nothing happened........the only thing worked is i downloaded this starter pack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765 and installed both but nothing happened...then again i flashed first which is kc1 with pit file then i flashed stock froyo rom downloaded from sammobile.....it boots up but suddenly freezes after 20 or so seconds......i erased to factory but the result was same.......then i flashed bali 3.03 kernel and booted to cwm recovery and tried to flash icbinb.....as required i flashed ext4 converter then immediately as i try to flash icbinb....recovery freezes randomly.....and i m unable to complete process.......may be it has some hardware issue
One final thought...looks like you've tried kies, Odin, & Heimdall. There is the possibility that you might have some conflicting drivers wandering around your computer. Why don't you try another computer (if one's available). Run Heimdall...be sure to follow the instructions on verifying your Java version and Microsoft Visual C. If you are successful, be sure and flash the bootloaders and then the basic-with-a-twist kernel.
Hope this works...I'm out of ideas.
i did so.....but no difference......i think it has some hardware problem.....because even if i m in recovery....it freezes after some tine....be it stock recovery or cwm......also i mentioned earlier that only rom which i was able to boot was stock froyo.....but it also freezes after a couple of minutes. and if i dont turn off during it is frozen it becomes very hot and gives over heat signal at next restart..................so assuming it had a hardware problem i returned back the device
