This is what I did. I Started with Bionix Frost/EXT4/Bali_2.1. Checked Mounts. Flashed Black Ice. Before I could go to advanced and setup VooDoo, the system rebooted. I heard sweet Linda for a few minutes then the system booted back into Frost without VooDoo. I rebooted to recovery (Red) and enabled VooDoo items and restarted. I noticed the errors I was getting when I booted to recovery before the flash were gone. The system booted back into Frost with VooDoo enabled. I gave it 15 minutes, then checked the mounts with Terminal emulator. System, Cache and Data are all EXT4. The system seems much snappier. I checked the build and it shows Bionix Frost. Firmware: 2.2.1, Kernel: Bali 3.0 and Baseband: VUVKD1, Pretty much what it was before I flashed it. The only thing I have noticed different now some of my apps are missing like titanium backup, quadrant, VooDoo Control Plus and others. Call it a mistake, A slip-up or OOPs, whatever you like, but it’s defiantly an improvement!!! I have been busy for a couple days & not keeping up on XDA and was surprised to see 44 pages on this subject. It took me 4 hours to read through all of this on Friday. I saw a lot of people having problems and complaining it seems. Then when I tried it, things seemed to go well for me, excluding the fact that my system did not totally take the Black Ice all the way. It seems what I got was an improved version of Bionix Frost. Now I need to make a backup of this Rom and try to get Black Ice to install. What I’m not sure of is do I need to disable VooDoo before I flash again? BTW: THANKS Krylon for all your work…:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrCes:
how long does it take to finish cause i heard linda voice and now its stuck on the galaxy s 4g screen ? it said the same thing 2 times and after that notting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrCes:
im back in red recovery and it says voodoo lag fix is actually disabled next boot enabled

and on options is says syste lagfix conversion:yes and debug mode: no
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I know it's alot to read, but I've been through this whole thread and your answer/Question has been answered... Give it 15 minutes. After that, you'll have to try something else... like Oden. Read the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
That' what you are looking for... Restart and give it 15 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrCes:
saying system unavalabe 2 times and still stuck on galaxy s screen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Did you check your Mounts before flashing Rom? Go read RaverX3X Post on 23rd June 2011, 04:55 PM in the middle of this thread… that should fix it…
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
hell what did i write in the middle of the thread lol... Damm i dont even remember
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Yeah....LOL... The only reason I remembered was I read this whole thread yesterday trying to catch up after being away for only a couple days.:D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Quad scores above 1800 on Frost.. can't even get to 1500 on Ice.

An no, the extra init.d tweaks were not here when I flashed, i had to add them after.

Doesn't matter what Quad says, Ice is smooth and responds better than Frost did, and Frost was nice, don't take that wrong...

I had major issues getting Ice working though. to get ext on system I had to, once I finally got Ice installed, backup, run the ext 4 conversion, and then restore... got it all in place now and quite happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Dunno for sure what they are refering to, but This Post of yours is the one that got me sorted out. Still had to deviate from it, but if it wasn't for this I wouldn't have got back up int he first place.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
Thank you Core618.

I have been looking for that post. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I don't know why, but I've done this like 10 times the other night, and it didn't work. When I do it tonight, it works on the first try. LOL!

Thanks to this ROM, I now can Odin in my sleep, haha.

Thanks a bunch for the help RaverX3X! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
After flashing, do you remount the cache, unmount the data and so on and so forth? Just a question I thought of after i flashed your old rom and going to update the new. The settings are still the same as i left from the old flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnlaqua:
thanks a ton! after it flashed the rom i went back to mounts and they reset back to original had to change them again before flashing the bali...again thanks when i log on to pc ill be clicking the magic button ;) havent figd out how to on the xda app yet if you can lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
So, anyone have a solution for getting /cache to mount? Every time I try using the standard method, the phone just blinks at me and says "Error mounting cache!".
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
exit out of the mounts then go back in..

if that doesnt work reboot the phone but quckly reboot it back into recovery that should fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Unfortunately not.

Anyone have an ODIN version of this ROM? I think I've tried just about everything else I can at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
its not odinable
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
I had that problem a few minutes ago. I just rebooted back into recovery and it worked for me, but my issue was error mounting sd card
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
Ok I have a noob question. If someone installed this rom and didn't set the phone at all then made a backup could that person upload it and someone else use it to have this rom working?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnlaqua:
heres somethin that happened thats way wierd.....

i have two sgs4gs and i just practice on one before i do anything to the other just in case

well i flashed one phone had to do the bali 2.1 kernal and recheck mounts and all that and it flashed flawlessly, then flashed bali 3.1 and again flawless

so i went to my other phone and flashed black ice and the bali 2.1 and it booted up just fine but just before it got past the teamwhiskey boot animation it started sporatically vibrating, turns out all my apps were force closing heres the wierd thing...

one: why would they be force closing i shouldnt have them should i?

two: now that i think about it i didnt odin to kd1 before hand like i did with the other phone

im thinking i should just odin to kd1 then try to flash black ice as normal and seeing if itll flash normally without flashing the bali 2.1 to see if it will work that way and if it doesnt then try the alternate method with flashing bali

any thoughts or ideas on this??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitallure:
I give up...smh
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
That happened to me a long time ago when I flashed Bionix Frost the first time. The reason you Odin to KD1 is for a clean slate without apps, etc. I think when you don't flash with a clean slate, your phone acts as if it still has the apps when it really doesn't, causing force closes. That's the way I look at it.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnlaqua:
yeah you must be right, i odined back to kd1 then flashed the black ice, as well as bali 2.1 it was flawless all i have to do is flash the 3.1 now and im good to go

big thanks to krylon and teamwhiskey for these roms and cwm and all that...this black ice rom is SEXY!

Just noticed the nat(network address translation) setting is now moderate instead of strict. This means for good things for folks looking to use this device to connect to xbox 360 or ps3 network. With strict setting I couldn't join partys or download certain content but now that its moderate I can do it all THANK YOU KRYLON360 YOU MADE MY YEAR WITH THIS. Its the main reason I got the phone was to play online and now I can. whoooo hoooo
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
Ok anyone have any ideas how i got this to say 2.3.3? When i started over and applied the kf2 modem and the fugu tweaks and did the init'd it says 2.2.1. I'm almost positive that's all i did the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cybok0:

Anyone have any ideas how this happened. I Odin kc1 before installing anything so I know nothing was left from gingerbread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kuntri:
WiFi

Wifi calls are dropping on this rom. everything else is PERFECT..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Just turn on mobile ap and search for the signal with you xbox. It should be androidxxxx and just connect.

I spent a large portion of Sunday attempting to get Black Ice to install. The closest I came to actually making it work was when I used Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit with the KD1 ROM using Oden. It actually installed but the cache seemed to be missing and I was getting a lot of “Can’t mount cache” errors in CWM. I tried different methods to get it to install from the OP to RaverX3X’s post. I kept getting the system not available message or something like that. I Odened the KC1 ROM using RaverX3X’s posted method. That seemed to get the cache working again but I still got the “system not available message” from sweet Linda. The only thing that has worked consistently is my nandroid restore. I noticed in RaverX3X’s post he is using a CSC file. I would like to try using the same basic Oden method in that post only using the files that would be compatible with the KD1 ROM. I haven’t researched Oden well enough to know which files to use or even what they do. I think if I could get the right files in the right places in Oden for the KD1 ROM this might be the magic bullet to make this work consistently…. Just an Idea…
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
ok i assume u used the kc 1 rom to get out of gingerbread if not (there was no need to flash it unless u needed a true clean slate. If this is the case ill give u step by step to install black ice i assume u just want the black ice thats it.

step one make sure you have cwm on the root of your sd card its called update.zip

make sure you have the black ice rom on the root of your sd card.

reflash kc 1 to get a clean slate

pit goes in pit

the largest file goes into the pda section of odin cant miss it its the file thats over 300 mb.

phone into phone

and csc in to csc.

make sure you stick your phone in download mode vol up down and usb insert

flash kc 1

after thats flashed u can hit rest on odin no need to boot kc 1 as its just giving u a clean slate..

download kd1 from the bible thread. U just need one with a modified recovery bin.

once u have that

reflash with odin but only sticking the kd1 in the pda section of odin no other files needed to be flashed as it has everything it needs.

once thats done and ur phone reboots

hold vol up down and hold power to get into cwm orange

scroll down to mounts check ur mounts make sure its

cache unmount

sd card mount

data mount

system unmount

once u are sure on that back out of mounts and then go install update from sd

then choose the zip file u want to flash

choose black ice let it install

once its installed

reboot it should boot u into cwm red

if not you can let it boot when i first installed it i let it fail the lag fix converson cause you didnt turn on lag fix thats ok just get it working :P

once its loaded u can reboot to recovery and do the voodoo lag fix

thats if u just want black ice without doing it the flashing ext 4 before installing way :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeDCMDVA:
Nice ROM, I'll give it to my girlfriend now since shes sporting this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Does this mean not including the PIT file either? Or would we flash the PIT file and the PDA file?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Don't use the Pit with KD1, That's what hosed my Cache...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
You only need to put the KD1 pda file onto the pda section, nothing else. You only needed to fill out the other sections when flashing KC1 for a truly clean slate.

EDIT: Seems like I typed too slow!

i know ive said this earlier but im saying it again...this rom is SEXY!! i got black ice on one phone and frost on the other....very awesome

now im basking in the glory of some teamwhiskey love!!!

did the wallpaper thing ever get figd out?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Oh man, I finally got this to work, and Black Ice is totally sweet.

Now for the NAND data restore and I'm officially back up and running.

edit: Most recent backup doesn't work (MD5 mismatch), but thankfully the one I made before that does. I'll lose about a week's worth of "stuff", but at this point, I'm just glad I have everything up and running. And looking good while doing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Did you rename the backup file? If there were any spaces in the name, there would be a MD5 mismatch error. Just fix up the name and it should restore fine.

I hope you see this soon!

Sent from my awesome SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Nope, I never re-named the file. Doesn't matter too much, all I lost of "importance" was a few SMS messages.

Still loving Black Ice, though I wish I could find that default wallpaper; that was cool.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] babyfacedkayos:
Every Flippin Reeboot???

Every time I reboot this rom I hear Lindas voice and it turns voodoo on. If I turn it off in CWM when I go back it shows its on. How can I stop this behavior? (I can't be the only 1 with this problem...)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lenny hodapp:
Here you go try this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Thanks dude!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
can u use odin for this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Nope. You can odin to a ROM that will let you put CWM on your phone:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063696

Then you can use that to flash this ROM onto your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
were you talking about the Frost wallpaper?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
thanks imma try this right now hopefully i dont brick it. i rooted my vibrant with no problem but i just cant understand how to do it with this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
for some reason, it still says that the system is unavail... is there something that i am doing wrong? please let me know thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] corradokng:
If you still having this issue this worked for me:

1. System Restore...Wipe everything (cache....)

2. Odin KD1

3. Flash Drhonk 3.2 Kernel don't reboot when done

4. Select advanced

5. Reboot Recovery (this will boot into voodoo recovery)

6. Select Voodoo

7. Make sure voodoo is selected to enable on next boot, same with system

8. Reboot let kernel partition as ext4

9. Now boot back into recovery and flash black ice
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ke4peo:
Just an FYI, not sure if this is a setting somewhere...but I'm not seeing the notification of new voicemails. For instance, I didn't answer a call an hour ago and there was no notification of a voicemail. But, when I dial into voicemail it tells me I have one new message.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Redownload tmobile visual voice mail and it should start working again. Worked for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Spider_Pig27:
Im having big times problems flashing this.. ive tried twice and i it ends up soft bricking my phone.. i get up to the point where i see the red cwm and then i reboot but it always soft bricks.. the only thing im not doing is odin to kd1 could that be the problem i really wanna try this rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] corradokng:
i would start with a kd1 odin, check a couple posts up i put alt. instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
For this ROM, you really have to Odin to KD1 for a clean slate. Make sure you have everything backed up too.

The steps I took were:

1) Odin KD1

2) put in krylon360's CWM

3) flash Black Ice ROM (check mounts!!!)

4) immediately flash Bali 3.0 or higher (as long as there is Voodoo support)

5) advanced -> reboot CWM (you should get the red CWM afterwards)

6) check Voodoo to make sure lagfix is enabled on the next boot and that system will be converted, debug is off

7) reboot and listen to Linda sing :D

8) leave it alone for 10-15 minutes

9) go nuts

Hope this helps!

Been playing around with this ROM for several days now, taking advise from many, and still not able to load past, "system not recongized".

Anyone out there good enought to make this 'Stable' ROM an ODIN ROM?

Else, I am going to part ways with this thread and stick with KD1.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ke4peo:
Here's how I managed to do it:

Odin stock KD1

Boot into KD1 and let it sit for 5-10 minutes

Reboot into CWM recovery

Check mounts (Unmount, Mount, Mount, Unmount)

Flash BlackIce_Voodoo

After it's done, DO NOT REBOOT, INSTEAD FLASH BALI 2.1 KERNEL

Reboot and let Black Ice come up and sit for the 10-15 minutes.

Then reboot into recovery again and flash the Bali 3.1 or 3.2 kernels.

Reboot and you should hear Linda converting partitions. THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE!

When done, let it load and sit aagain for 10-15min.

I did have an issue with KD1 where I had the corrupted/dirty /system partition. If that is the case, before you flash the ROM, flash the rfs_converter and then check mounts and then continue the steps above after you flash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RadFly:
Thanks, but I did that... I immediately flash the Bali 2.1 Kernel after flashing BlackIce_Voodoo, and the reboot does not go beyond the Samsung screen....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RadFly:
Correction, I flashed RFS_Format... Is this different from RFS_Converter?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
same here i have done this about a dozen times and all it does is soft brick my phone. could someone that has sucessfully done this possibly make a youtube vid and do it as a walk through. that would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
A video would be helpful I soft bricked my gs4g 6 times getting this to install
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
hopefully sometime soon. Cause i am soo confused aboit this. I followed it to the letter.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
I got it to finally work by odining kc1 with csc,pit,phone, and pda files in odin made sure repartition was checked and flashed it. Then flashed black ice voodoo then immediately flashed Bali 2.1 then let the phone boot up. After boot up booted into recovery turned ext4 on and had voodoo ever since.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
I have done all that and it still wont get past the samsung screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
This was the toughest Rom I've ever installed. I almost thought it was impossible I came from the gingerbread leak with bad bootloaders. I don't know why its so hard it sounds easy but its a far cry from being easy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
I also cannot get past the SGS4G screen. I've tried numerous methods beyond just following OP to the note and still got nothing. I've never even had gingerbread installed on this phone and I came from KD1 rom even.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
I am running the kd1 build. If someone has sucessfully installes this please please put up a vid of how to do it step by step. Its way easier for me to see and do then read and do thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
cause the 53 pages 400 threads on the same topic about how to install this isnt good enough? sorry really looking at the same thread and seeing the same please tell me how to install this without going tough the thread is kinda bad really.

if you are having issues and ur on kd 1 read the first post it tells you about the kd 1 with the dirty system partition and what to flash.

if you were on gingerbread and have the ****ed bootloaders really use the bible u will see it there flash that with odin flash a kd1 install blackice if it bootloops reinstall it follow per instructions on the first post of this thread.

sorry if i sound like a ass now but 400 threads and a few thouand posts on please walk me though the instructions step by step when its on page one of the thread is kinda getting just boreder line anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
If you like me had problems with this rom despite having never put gingerbread on this post got it working for me finally. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15218149&postcount=511 Followed those directions to the note and now I don't have her telling me system partition is unavailable. Instead now she said converting data and converting system.

Edit: And over 10 minutes later I'm still at the SGS4G screen despite now not having the system being unavailable now.....

Edit: Still can't figure out why its hanging after Converting System partition. I've even let it go 15minutes after saying that and still getting nowhere. Glad at least CWM lets me restore backups I need something to work for tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
have you thought about flashing 2.1 like the op said if you have issues getting the rom to run mmm might be a great idea ! and a good suggestion
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Will this be added to ROM Manager by chance?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
Yeah cus I totally didn't exhaust every possible option already. Love how you just go off and assume I didn't read OP like everyone else here. Didn't I already say I followed OP to the note or I guess that doesn't mean that same thing for you?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
No need to get sarcastic in defense. Just trying ODIN again, reflash Blake Ice, reboot Recovery and flash Bali 3.2(UV if you choose). All should go well after
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ke4peo:
If I can just say, one thing I've learned in my time here and flashing a vast array of ROMS, is....never always 100% trust the OP. While it may usually be up to date, there may be issues in the subsequent replies that might help your issue. I know it's time consuming to wade through 50+ pages of replies, but I use the search thread option first. If that doesn't work...I just start reading.

Because, maybe someone else has had the same issue and someone posted a fix in a reply that never made it to the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Spider_Pig27:
Dude I did exactly what you told me too but it happened again.. i dont understand why this rom is so dificult to flash i have flashed Bionix Frost w/ Bali's Kernel and everything works fine.. but everytime i try to flash this one it always just says "system partition" then Linda faints I dont hear anything anymore I have had so many phones and flashed roms since the g1 and i seriously have never had a phone thats been such a pain in the ass.. I absolutely love the screen and stuff but Damn it why wont this rom flash.. Ive tried everything.. or maybe the rom could be corrupted or something.. IDK but i think we seriously need a demo video up done by someone that knows how to flash it and that will work for everyone pleaseeeeee someone anyone lol.. thanks for helping me out though man i really apreciate it..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnlaqua:
I did the same as above except i rebooted recovery for red cwm then did the voodoo lag fix then checked mounts again cuz after installing black ice my mounts switched back to what they were so check those again before flashing bali then flash bali and reboot...try that
