Thank you so much, krylon360 and drhonk.

without developers like you, all of us would be stuck with stock, sh1tty phones.

I appreciate everything you've done.

Changed to final version with no issues here :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
fantastic.... thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
What version is this...is cwm recovery supposed to load automatically without me loading the zip? If not wihy not?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
You still have to reinstall packages through stock recovery to get into cwm. Leave update.zip on ur sd.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
When koush updates rom manager it will be able to flash over stock rom from there. And be integrated with RM functions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Oh yea well i just went into the zip file and copied over the recovery file from there and it opened right into recovery..yea it says all this crazy crap like can't mount this and that..but it loaded..I'm reloading og recovery but I should try using cwm rom manager with it to see if it responds...can someone confirm if they can get the usb storage to work in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
Read back a few posts. Krylon talks about the USB mounting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
Please read, the thread, and not just ask questions, or send PM's. We didnt touch USB mounting, if you want it fixed, then it'll have to wait till we port CWM3 w/ voodoo over.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
i flashed and my touchscreen stopped working. don't know if the two are linked in any way so i'm going to use the beta again and see if that fixes it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
scratch that. i guess it was just taking it's sweet time loading.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Send pms?? Why you gotta put my business out there like that :) j/k.,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
can i flash kernels (more specifically Bali) through CWM or do i have to do it through odin? i'm sorry that i have to ask but i've never flashed before.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Place the kernel on your sd go into cwm and use the "inatall from sd" option and look for the file then BAM! New kernel :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
awesome work fellas!!! thank you very much for not abandoning the project
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cdsbj6508:
Quick question I replaced the recovery file and stated in the OP. I put the update.zip on the root of my SD card. I downloaded ROM manager from market selected Samsung Vibrant it loaded I then proceed to reboot into recovery which it did but I do not know where to go from there. I do not see install update.zip from sd card. Could someone tell me what option to choose.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
not using rom manager. all you need to do is make sure that you replaced the recovery binary final as stated in the OP. Put the most current update.zip on the root of your sd card. Pick your preferred way of getting into recovery, and then once your in there, select "reinstall packages". it will then scan your card for the update.zip and then boot you into CWM. It has not been included into rom manager yet. This has been stated a few times already
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cdsbj6508:
Got it thanks (Thanks button pressed)!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I will be hitting the thanks button as soon as I can get on my laptop. I flashed Bali last night and I think I'm in love. Thank you soooooooo much DrHonk and Krylon.

So when this gets put into ROM Manager, can I flash through RM and then delete the update.zip from my SD Card?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Got it man. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] maktucali:
Question

Cwm is not sticking. Am I doing something wrong? or I need to reinsrall packages everytime... Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Read the thread, dude.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
Thanks for everything Krylon and Dr honk. You are awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] maktucali:
Thanks for the reply. Hope choke one day.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] penguin0609:
Until rom manager is complete you must reinstall packages
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Hey boss, just wanted to say thanks again for this. I really appreciate it. I was gonna say let's do it again for the Sensation but it looks like a certain BootLoader issue might put that on hold. haha
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Thanks Fellas!! Final! Great news for a Noob like me!...does this mean I won't brick every single time I do something now. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] techclan:
I just tried to perform a backup restore and it's failing similar to B3 version. I'm getting "E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"

Am I doing something wrong ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
make sure your recovery (even on kd1) & update.zip are current... that's all i got... ha.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] techclan:
Ok, just downloaded the update.zip and reloaded it again and it worked. The one I had was from last night. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] erad1:
Ok first off I have read this thread so no flaming please! Just trying to determine if something we are doing is wrong or my friend has messed up the phone somehow (he came to me after trying a few things on his own)....I have tried to set this up on my friends phone and cant get it to work. Following the instructions in the OP but cant get this to reinstall the update.zip package, both files were downloaded from this post. Using FILE EXPERT it allows me to overwrite the recovery file in system/bin but Im not completely familiar with the sgs 4g as I have a captivate myself. So doesn't this phone differentiate between internal and external sd cards?...if so I dont see it on his phone. Using quick boot app or the button combo works well enough to get into stock recovery which is version 3e. But only displays install abort message with multiple attempts...any ideas? I mean cmon who doesn't like to have their THANKS button pushed?!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] invario:
There is no internal sd. There's internal storage but they don't refer to it as sd. The sd is just the external sd so /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard is the external sd card.

In file expert, you also have to make sure you go into the settings and check the option for root explorer. Then you can replace the recovery file because it sounds like it's not being replaced properly right now. Yes, your phone must be rooted too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
Holla! Thanks guys for making this a good weekend (wink wink). Time to start checking out the mods!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] SMASHERSONLY:
Help i cant get into the final version and I lost my old version I did the same thing I did last time pushing the recovery to system/bin and it keeps saying no stock file our directory what am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
I just used root explorer to place the recovery file there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
take out recovery from root directory dl new final cwm update file and place in root directory and get into recovery and load update.zip
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] erad1:
Got that....phone is definitely rooted and the root option is checked...so when connected to a pc these phones only show one place as storage....so the update zip goes where exactly to be considered as the root?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
The base of ur sd card. You will see alot of folders. Download, dcim, etc. Just place it there... Dont know how else to say it... Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shawnshine:
Recovery > system/bin/

Awesome, guys! Weird question, though... I used File Expert to overwrite "recovery" in /system/bin with root permissions, but every time I boot into recovery mode, it still resorts to the stock Samsung recovery. I even tried with Super Manager, same results. Are these programs not allowing me to truly overwrite the stock recovery file (thus me being required to buy the app mentioned in the tut) OR am I copying this file into the wrong folder? Anyone having the same results? *n00b alert*
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] erad1:
That is what I thought so it must be that file expert is not writing the recovery file correctly ....thanks for your help guys...I'll have to try the adb route.

UPDATE: Got it working guys...decided to download the files straight from the phone itself (instead of pc to phone) and update.zip went to the correct location for reinstall packages to work! He's a happy camper now and Im sure with upcoming development you guys are gonna have alot of fun with these phones!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shawnshine:
Hmm...

Am I misunderstanding the process here? Perhaps I'm supposed to select "reinstall packages" in the Samsung Recovery Utils for BML screen to advance... but I thought I was supposed to be seeing a new recovery screen with an option for loading update.zip. OH and I'm still seeing the same recovery screen, even after using Root Explorer now. So it doesn't seem to be an app issue... :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
it is an app issue,

for some reason certain file apps are not overwriting the recovery file, which also happened to me awhile ago when i first tried this method.

i ended up using super manager and it worked fine. Make sure in super manager in your settings you have root function on and when you go into the files make sure you select R/W then you should be fine

this should help :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shawnshine:
Aha... just needed to do some more reading! *My bad*
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shawnshine:
Last question... do I select "apply update" or "install zip" from SDcard?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
also you do have to "reinstall packages" from the recovery screen to get into cwm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Use super manager and enable root and switch to R/W.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
If ur flashing a kernel or rom, then install zip. If ur not installing anything, leave it alone. Ha
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Hello all. I am about to receive the sgs4g, and am very excited about it. This is more or less a heads up.........I'll be asking a lot of questions, lol. This is my first Samsung product. I am very familiar with android (having done some compiling, made roms for other devices, etc...) but this is going to be a large change for me.

Thanks for everything you have all done, and I hope to be a part of developing for this device in the future as well!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Do we have an ETA on a ROM Manager update?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
...soon. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Dude to save you alot of trouble read the sticky posted for this forum. It will help you and help avoid people flaming you. And have fun with your badass sgs4g.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
after they release the update can i remove the update.zip from the SD and then flash through CWM just like normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
Maybe... Wahahaha [/TROLL]
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
What do you mean troll?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
I was referring to my answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Ok. I just wanted to make sure you didn't think I was trollinv

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] techclan:
I did a full CWM backup before applying the Bali Kernel for testing but when I do a restore it completes but my phone is still using the Bali Kernel. I've tried clearing the cache before restoring but same thing.

Is full restore suppose to restore the kernel along with everything else ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I think it should. Try removing it.from your SD?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] corradokng:
If you want stock kernel you will need to flash back to it, check dev section someone posted it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
oh look who's here??? now you're using this CWM after talking smack awhile back??? LOL :D:D:D:D:D:D

It is rude to show sarcasm to amazing DEVS like Krylon360. You just want things to be done for you. If it isn't done, you just yell at the DEVS. There are 2 types of people. One who gets things done by others, and others who do it themeselves.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xaocon:
Have other successfully tried doing a clean dalvik cache from final? Doing so in beta 3 and final have lead to a broken system for me. I thought the first time that it was due to the kernel i had installed but it seems that it was the cache cleaning that i performed after installing the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Worked fine for me. What kernel had you flashed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Ha ha! thanks dude. They can flame away for all I care, lol. I can take it :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Lol. Yea I got ya
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xaocon:
Bali 1.4UV but the kernel isnt the issue. Restoring and reflashing without clearing the dalvik cache results in a clean flash and everything working well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
I have been flashing my donkey off with the beta and with the final and i always wipe my cache and my dalvik with no system problems. I just did it again to see and yup both wipes work fine! Hope u figure it out bro!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
something like that happened to me way back when I was on cm with the g1.i remember wiping dalvik and I couldn't get anything working right such as the market.i couldn't use any restore points , as they would end up with the market not working and tons off fcs.what a bad memory..since then I don't go out me way to wipe dalvik unless instructed to..also fix permissions...that's important
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
just a heads up..... Whenever u do a dalvik wipe u need to let the phone sit for like 10mins or so after reboot to let the catche rebuild itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Fooo shooo (40yr old virgin quote)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
Agreed, that's always been my experience as well. When the Dalvik is wiped, The entire system needs to "remap" itself. Once this is complete, I usually fix permissions also. It will run kinda screwey until it has time to rebuild the cache, then USUALLY all is good.

Edit: Whenever I wipe the Dalvik cache, I let the phone boot normally, then just leave it sit a while before doing anything with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
This is great talk fellas! I'm Noob. Never had Rom Manager phone and just got CWM 3 cpl days ago.

I didn't know this stuff...

Can you give me some guidance on testing that it is working fully? I have made a nandroid bacup already. I have not flashed anything YET...Bali kernel very soon.

I'm going to read everything on CWM for sure. I'm just wondering if I should test in a "certain order". A Organized way. Not jump to this then that.

Please pardon my Noob way of phrasing my question. THANK YOU!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
All the features in the CWM final should work. If u want to test some stuff out why don't u just start by seeing if u can restore that nandroid that u made. U can just delete a few apps, change some settings, and then reboot into CWM (via our recovery then reinstall packages) and go to backup and restore and restore that nandroid u made. Dont foget your catche and dalvik and set permissions. Now the apps that u uninstalled and the settings u changed should all be back to how they were before and u will have successfully restored a nandroid backup! Good to see ur learning bro! Android will provide endless fun for u and this device of ours is really awesome and we are just starting to tap into it's potential!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
This is exactly the kind of reply I was hoping for. THANK YOU!...

Just one more thing please. Set permissions? I have seen it in root explorer, super manger ect. So I understand its function.

But I haven't had to do it yet.

How does setting permissions apply to cwm?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Its alaways good to set permissions in cwm after flashing, it makes sure whatever you flashed has proper access to read and write the files you flashed
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Ok. Understand the r/o and r/w permissions. I have never used the "permissions check box" with multiple choice options. Will I be dealing with that in cwm?

I'm planning on flashing bali later when I'm home. Your info is helping me big time understanding the process.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
if your using CWM there is no checkboxes, you just choose the setting and it completes it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Thank you!...almost home and can't wait to mod my phone! :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] timmay2t:
I keep getting an error on file permissions when trying to push recovery. Tried fixing permissions in rom manager, installed busy box. Root is working fine, am i missing something?

Can't drag the file in via droid explorer either. Shows that it does but the last modified date doesn't change.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
If you flashed Whitehawkx deodexed then the recovery.bin is already there and you dont have to push it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
its not "RECOVERY.BIN" its just "RECOVERY" please people stop referring to it with the .bin extension!!!! make sure when you use your file explorer i.e. super manager, root explorer, or es file explorer, make sure you have "R/W" checked. that allows you to paste in the system/ folders
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
i know its not recovery.bin

but OP refers to it as recovery binary therefore i say recovery.bin

but your right my apologies for any mix up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
No worries, but think about this. someone reads your post that wants to try this out for the first time and they notice the file does not have a .bin extension. THEN they rename it to what you say because they read it "SOMEWHERE" then have all sorts of issues posting in every thread looking for answers. The only reason why i bring this up because I have read numerous users asking the same questions about this and having issues.

Lets please use the right terminology and reference what the OP says, instead of giving your opinion. It will stop the misconceptions and keep people from having issues. I know your trying to help, lets keep the info correct.:D HAPPY ALOHA FRIDAY! even though its pouring buckets here in hawaii
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dboy0582:
I am new to the whole thing when it comes to the Samsungs. I have rooted my Mytouch 4g and my Mytouch many times. But I tried doing exactly what it said to do. Once I put the update.zip in the root of my sdcard what is next. Because I tried rebooting in cwm it still had stock recovery. I also downloaded the free app of cwm and did flash cwm recovery. Since I didnt see the Galaxy 4g on the list to choose from I ended up choosing Galaxy S Vibrant. And then I rebooted in recovery and still nothing. I also while in recovery I chose reinstall packages and that had an error message. So if you can tell me what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kkoshko1:
Read the opening page, download the custom bin file... you have to put that in your system folder using root explorer. After that have the update on sd card root. Then reboot into recovery. Never flash anything no made for your phone. Vibrant is different.

Finally gathered the sack to flash me some CWM love to my sgs4g. The process couldn't have been any easier.....Thanks gents. +1 to all involved. :D

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
Im with depackers1 and im not so sure i catch ur drift. lol. If i already have the most recent recovery and the final cwm update zip on my sd then why cant i just download rommanager and start using it? U are saying to uninstall rommanager and then replace my recovery bin and my final update zip with the same recovery and final update zip i have on sd already? Then reinstall rommanager and all is well? Please step by step these instructions if u could. thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Babyj303:
Im on krylons kd1 and cwm worked perfect for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
If you use the boot into recovery from the power menu mod it should take you to the original recovery menu, from there I used the previous update.zip from krylon that I used to replace the update file placed by rom manager. I dont think you need to replace the recovery file to the modded recovery file krylon put out that was only a way to flash cwm..
