Ok I have a small problem. I made a backup using krylon360's cwm and when my phone booted back up my web browser fc's when I tried to download bionix and it was working fine before the backup. Any know how to fix this? I tried wiping data, wiping system, clearing browser data and cache still same problem.

Edit: it's not just the bionix link I also tried to redownload the 2.1 kernel again and it fc's too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Try fix permissions? I did it through rom manager first, then through cwm again just to be sure. If this doesn't work, I don't have a n answer for you :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
Ok thanks I tried it thru cwm but not rom manager ill give it a shot

Well it didn't help still fc's thanks anyways guess ill have to start from scratch.

With ext4 support can we get your recovery loaded into start up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
umm..what?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
So I have used this Recovery and update file, also used the one in ROM manager. I am curious about the mounting issue. Is this an issue because of something with the CWM, or just because of the Ported ROM's ?

It shows the mounts are the same with either set of files.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
mounts should be the same, because they are the same. lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
I guess it was the part I wrote with the question mark that was the question.

I will ask again, is the mounting issue a cause of CWM, or because of the Ported Rom's from the Vibrant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
what mounting issue are you talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
I'm thinking he's talking about booting into cwm instead of stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
I guess he might be asking for a boot loader option? lol example below?

1. boot into cwm

2. boot into Trigger

3. boot into Frost
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
That aint happening. LOL

you'd have to have a dual boot setup, on top of that, make a custom bootloader. I'm a hobbyist. Not a Google Employee. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
I think he's asking weather the mounting issues going on r to do with cwm or the roms that were flashing(bionix,trigger).

And thank you krylon360 cwm is kick ass
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Sorry guys, what I am referring to is the changing of mount/unmount defaults in CWM before flashing Bionix, trigger. I was curious is this specifically only needed for flashing vibrant ports, or if this will need to be done for any ROM we flash on the sgs 4g.

Is this just something that should be changed permanently or just for flashing ports ?

Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Changing the mounts is needed when flashing any rom not just the bionic port, not sure if its a cwm problem but the mount fix is needed
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Yea, that is what I am talking about. I was a little confused how I can flash a back up without changing mount defaults. But if it this is the way it is for flashing ANY ROM then it sounds like it would be in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea when the mount fixed was figured out it was on drhonks kd1 lol krylon maybe you could look into it if you have time or maybe drhonk since he has the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
When the mount/unmount settings are changed to be correct, do they stick? Or, does it need to be re-done every time you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Look at them every time you flash. They stay in the same state every time, so you must adjust accordingly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
its annoying but its the same mount fix everytime so you wont have to worry "ohhh what mounts will i have to change this time"

its always the same fix lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Yea, its not a big deal to change them. I always just think "what's gonna happen when a noob doesn't read"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
NP dude :)

To everyone: Please refer HERE if you are having problems with flashing and/or mounting. This is just to save these threads for issues pertaining to problems with the recovery or rom itself, not the flashing process. Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
The reason I posted it here is because I think it is due to how CWM was set up for our device. Not because I can't get it to work. But thanks for the link I am sure it will help some others out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
No, you were correct. I just put that up for any sgs4g noobs having issues. It wasn't pointed at you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
Is this problem with mounts something that can be fixed either in cwm or in mods and roms themselves? While its not a big deal it would be nice just to flash stuff normally eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
That's something that would need to be bounced off of Krylon360 or drhonk . Cwm for us is their baby.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] SMASHERSONLY:
Push the recovery file to sys/bin using root explorer and then reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lysolflow:
same here.

searched everywhere and could not find a soluting.

when you rooted, did you use the psneuter exploit or rageagainstthecage exploit??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kinubic:
used the superoneclick root
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lysolflow:
i just figured it out. had the same problem.

when you're in root explorer, make sure that you are in MOUNT R/W.

you might have to continue to keep changing it.

the first file is the one you have to place it in the system/bin.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] austin58x:
i have been having the same problem as all the others with the file verification error in the recovery screen. i have downloaded and put the files in the correct location with the right names about 20 times now and still can't get anywhere with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
What did you use to put the new recovery file in /system/bin?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
I can't get the recovery file. It says the link isn't found.

EDIT: I'm slightly retarded today. Forgot to wear my helmet. Copy and pasting the link works JUST FINE.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
For the guys having issues, try and use a different file explorer. Some have reported in the past having issues. Try es file explorer or super manager.

rom manager alone is just no good so it doesnt matter what version of CWM we have, rom manager wont work until koush fixes it :/

used 1 click root and have tried 3 different file managers. root explorer, super manager, and efile explorer. still just get an error when installing the update. dunno what i can do different honestly at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
You don't install anything. Push the recovery file to the right place and place the zip in the root of your sd. That's all there is to it. You don't mess with anything after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] austin58x:
install was the wrong phrase but the point should still be the same since it is an update.

found out the problem, was moving the wrong file around the whole time because i was derpping and not paying attention. thnx for the development and the help!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
After putting the update into the root of the SD and the recovery in system/bin. What do we do from there?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
You reboot and go into recovery by shutting down the phone completely and restarting by pressing the power and both volume keys until you get into recovery. From there, go to reinstall packages and that should take you to krylons cwm

Please help!!!

Can u guys do step by step how to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
download root explorer from the market. download the recovery and the update.zip. open root explorer, find the files, long press update.zip, select move, go back (the ... option in root explorer), place the zip file in your sd card root, go back to the recovery file, long press, move, go back all the way and go to system, then go to bin and paste the file there. overwrite when it asks. you now have cwm.

reboot the phone. go into normal recovery (volume up+down+power button). then go to reinstall packages and then it should take you to cwm orange.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ribasje:

recovery file

Strange my phone did not have a file called "recovery" in /system/bin. I put recovery there anyway and then did reinstall packages and it took me to Orange CWM, then I told it to reboot. When I go to recovery it still takes me to the stock recovery. What did I miss?

Scratch that. I reinstalled update.zip from Orange CWM and now it takes me to CWM every time. COOL!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rayvil30:

Read the last 2 pages...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
That happened to me too. Sometimes, it'll download as "recovery.bin" instead of "recovery".

Honestly, this is one of the easiest things you'll do to your phone (rooting is more of a challenge then this). (1)Put update.zip in the root of your sd card. DO NOT FLASH THIS. (2)Push the "recovery" to system/bin and OVERWRITE using SuperManager. Be sure you enabled root function. Afterwards, you'll be able to boot into recovery easily by holding volume up, volume down, and power.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ttngu234:
I'm having issues with this as I try to reinstall from the blue recovery screen as well.

I had this installed the first time around with Bionix Rom, but was having issues with my phone rebooting randomly. Had EXT4 with VOODOO enabled in red CWM.

Decided to ODIN my phone back to KD1. I was able to get access to Orange CWM, but was unable to Unmount the cache to install a new rom. Did some reading and they mentioned to ODIN to KC1, which I did. Made the mistake of attempting to flash through ROM Manager as well.

Now after following the procedures as mentioned above, in the CWM page, Noob guide (all the same), I continue to get this message:

Finding update package...

Openingupdate package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I'm not new to this, and I've tried using root explorer and super manager. Wondering if I need to ODIN again and just repeat the process over again.

Thanks in advance!

-----

Edit #1: Failed to mention: I had to repartition my MicroSD card since it was giving issues. I'm not sure whether I need to still use the rfs_formatter.zip to undo EXT4 after using ODIN or not.

Tried to ODIN to KC1 again and get into CWM through blue recovery, but it gave the same message. I'm currently doing ODIN to KD1 and repeat to see if it helps.

-----

Edit #2: After ODIN to KD1, I was able to get into CWM and was able to unmount my cache again. Guess I had to ODIN to KC1 then KD1 to get the cache working again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
For Crying Outloud...

1) Learn how to ODIN

2) Odin this Rom onto your Phone

2.4) Reboot into Recovory via Vol+/- & Power

2.8) Select Reinstall packages & now you have CWM ( Yes you will have to do this every time untill you install bali / other rom )

3) then Flash Bali & then you don't need the update zip

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
It would be best not to Odin Whitehawkx's KD1 ROM. It has the faulty system partition that everyone has been complaining about. Go for KC1 instead. I think Whitehawkx's KC1 ROM works fine though, but someone should confirm that. I'm not sure if RaverX3X's KC1 Odin is still up. He attached it in a post in the Black Ice thread and it worked like a charm.

As for not needing update.zip, I always leave it in my root with the recovery file. The size is negligible, so it's useful whenever I Odin and lose recovery. I just push it through a root explorer and it works like a charm again. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Like bkoon1218 said I would recommend that the update.zip for krylons cwm always be kept for just in case reasons. Like when you have to go back to a stock rom or just don't want to use Bali kernel( who am I kidding everyone uses Bali).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peterpandesal06:
could someone help me. what are the mounts in the recovery? by the way, im running KD1 by whitehawx. haha
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
the mounts you should usually use when flashing a majority of the roms is unmount, mount, mount, unmount.

but instead of using kd1, use kc1 by raver. whitehawkx's kd1 has a faulty system partition and it will cause errors for you later on
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:

Thank you I pushed new recovery to bin with root explorer rebooted then went to stock recovery, hit reinstall packages and chaching I have CWM Thank you again!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peterpandesal06:
Chadster recommend me to use kd1 because it is more stable. And upon doing the mounts it is still returning. And my root is not recognized after using superoneclick.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Then he probably said to use drhonks kd1.

Pls help me.

android recovery version of my phone is 3e.

so if i flash dr.honk's bali kernel?

will i get to do cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
To get cwm working you First need to be rooted, Download recovery File and Update.zip File, use a File exlporer app (i use super Manager) to push the recovery File to System.bin folder, just overwrite the File (make.sure you have r/w selected) then place Update . zip on the root of your sd card, go into Stock recovery and Hit reinstall packages. This gives cwm but you have to Hit reinstall packages every time you enter Stock recovery. To get permanent cwm Download the Bali Kernel, get into cwm and flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drpratik:
i managed to get bali kernel with undervolt working on my phone .

my kernel version is 2.6.32.9-bali_sgs4g_v3.3

Im running the latest gingerbread. it seems to work fine so far but was a pain to install. If you are experienced i would say go for it. It requires flashing several things tnrough odin and cwm. If less experienced i would go with icbinb Rom. IT is very smooth and fast. Install is much easier as well.

Rom manager is faulty with our phones. It won't work. You need to download the recovery. bin file and use root explorer app to push the file to system.bin and overwrite the file there. Then download the update.zip file and place it in the root if your SD card. Get into recovery and hit reinstall packages. This will get you into cwm. Both files can be found in the op of this thread.

nevermind, I flashed Bionix Frost and it's working like a champ. Thanks to all who helped :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
just a tip. before you flash frost (well, you did already, but keep the zip file on your sd and apply this to the zipm, because you will probably reflash frost sometime in the future), copy the cwm files to the zip file prior to flashing, so you will have cwm once you flash and you will not have to push files via the phone. what i mean is go on the computer, drag and drop the 2 files to the proper place in the bionix frost.zip and now you will have cwm upon flashing the rom. you never have to worry about it again. glad you got it working. i hope you enjoy frost. i loved it.
