Well hello, i recently upgraded phone to 2.3 (ginger bread) and wanted to go alittle higher.
I followed this tutorial to the 'T' meaning if he said jump while holdin the phone, I would jump exactly how he did, that's how precise i was with the instructions he gave.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&feature=iv&src_vid=xWBcSyj8vzU&v=ndC39t1AE-k
After following his instructions and i rebooted phoneto go into the volume - + + and power button menu, the screen looked a little shattered or blurry, im not sure how to define it, but i cant see the options that i'm selecting. but they are selectable. i tried following his directions blindly, but that file wasn't the only zip file on the internal memory card so im not sure which file im selecting.
Is there any way i can get back to gingerbread?
Just Odin back to stock, and was recovery filled with rainbows?

I told you to flash the gingerbread bootloaders using odin that will fix the rainbow distortion.

Go back to gingerbread 2.3.6 using odin and when you are done flashing gingerbread flash the bootloaders.
And turn off the anti-virus of the computer before using odin.

i will try a different USB and PORT

I used it for the first time the other day and it went great, I actually used it 3 times in the same day...long story. I've heard about the port thing but it never did anything different for me. If you installed Odin correctly and It has the stock file for your phone than it should work.

You have to extract the stock file (probably called something else) when you open Odin I believe you have to click pit than select th file that you extracted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
When you open the Odin folder you should see 2 things, the Odin program in which youd launch and the stock file for your phone, the stock file needs to be extracted or unzipped (not sure which is the correct term) run Odin, plug phone in, select file from pit tab, stick start.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I installed rom manager from market.
Rom manager does not work with the sgs4g. Head over to the dev section and grab an Odin fladhable rom. Follow the directions and your phone will be up and running in no time at all. The kc1 rom will give you a completely clean slate to work with. Reroot then go the krylon360s thread cwm final to get the working recovery. From there you can flash the Bali kernel.

should sd card be in phone?also can i leave phone in download mode while i do this.Thanks i app. all the help ill prob.be up late fixing this.
I don't think it matters if SD is in or not and the only way to Odin is in download mode. With Odin running plug your phone into the computer. You will see a block on the left side of the Odin screen turn yellow. Then place the files in the correct spots. The thread you get the rom from will tell you where they belong. Once they are in place hit start on Odin and let it run its course.

You can try my rom.... catyrom or any of the i9000 ports...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I currently have tried refuse 1.7, caty 1.0 & 1.5; currently running caty 1.5. I would recommend caty rom, the only thing I notice is the data sometimes cuts out and I have to restart my phone, also it shows the rom as "caty v2.0" in the "about" section of the phone, but the post says 1.5 so I am not sure what it is. But it's very simple to install and to run. Just make sure you follow directions to a T. When it says to let it reboot and sit for ten minutes actually do it. DONT FORGET TO HAVE A BACKUP IN CWM. Make sure it's rooted, I tried to root mine with Superoneclick and it didn't root properly, I had to use the odin with 3e recovery and root preset, then I was able to install roms. Good luck to you.

Are you using ROM Manager? if so, that is probably why you can't get it to work. just 3 button into recovery mode, go to backup and restore, and click backup. It should take a little while to work, and you can watch it go through all of the files as it backs them up.

Do not use rom manager!! When you transfer ron from computer make sure you send it to your 14 gb SD card and it will show up...do not flash anything or download any roms thru rom manager!

It is also helpful to create a folder on the SD card named "1 rom" so you can keep all your downloaded roms in one place and then you also don't have to scroll far with the volume keys since the folder will be at the top of the list all the time

This happened to me when I tried to update to the official UCLB3 using Kies Mini. I flashed back to stock using GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and then used Kies Mini to update to UCLB3 (giving me GB bootloaders). I've been flashing ROMs since without any problems (after rooting and adding a custom recovery, of course).

That's weird, so you have no way to access download mode? You never get a screen saying you're ready to download files?
It sounds like you aren't completely entering download mode, hold volume down, power and home button at the same time. Once you see the blue text at the top, release the power button and continue holding the volume and home keys until you're in. If your phone boots to the Verizon screen you should be able to boot into download mode.

OK so just to clarify...
You can enter Odin mode, but when you hit the volume up button to enter download mode the screen goes blank? Take a picture of what you're seeing and post it if you can, it's hard to tell what's going on because Odin mode is download mode.
If you can't enter download mode, there's no way to recover your phone in an easy way. You can try using an sdcard bootloader brick method, but I don't think it'll work because your phone isn't completely unresponsive. The only way to fix it at this point is jtag. Just make sure there's no way to get into download mode.

Good, your bootloader is still unlocked, I'll point you in the right direction when I get off work or have time.
Someone will probably get there before me though, but you're in good shape.
You need to Odin flash a stock 4.1 image, root it, and freeze sdm 1.0 and fwupdater.apk to prevent it from updating to 4.3.

OK, so simply follow section five of this guide. Go to the website linked in the op, and download the 4.1.2 mf1 firmware. Do not download the 4.3 ml1 firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Next, use this to root your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825
Once that's finished, download ez unlock version 1.2 and unlock the bootloader.
Once you're rooted, use a file browser (es file Explorer is free) and rename sdm1.0.apk and fwupdater.apk to sdm1.0.apk.bak and fwupdater.apk.bak. This will keep the phone from updating to 4.3 and locking your bootloader.
