Ugh i'd kill to have this rom installed right now. Having to re ODIN again. I tried OPs directions again to no avail and ended up with the system partition is unavailable. Following OPs directions then for fixing that I ended up losing linda altogether and then CWM as well forcing me to re ODIN. Following the post I did last night atleast got me to converting /data partition and converting /system partition but then I would then lose linda after converting /system partition. I've only ever had KC1(what the phone shipped with) and KD1 after I rooted it. I've even tried using the RFS converter again to no avail as well as clearing both cache and dalvik-cache and formatting /cache /system /data also to no avail. I'm going to try to go through the procedure I tried last night and see if I can get anything off logcat for as to why it hangs after converting /system partition
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shifty331:
I have been at this all day and still nothing. Im about to throw the phone through the window
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
Nope still hanging at converting system partition. And logcat is nowhere to be found. Adb shell runs but if I try to execute logcat it just simply says /bin/sh: logcat: not found.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
Phone boots right into download using the Vol Up + Vol Dn and plug USB in method so yeah no gingerbreak bootloaders here. I then followed the above method starting with flashing WhiteHawkXs KD1 using Odin3 v1.85. I then proceeded to install from update in recovery and once in orange CWM I flashed blackice I then rebooted the phone and linda just says converting system partition. 20 minutes later I don't have anything so I Odin KD1 again and once back in orange CWM I flash the rom and bali 2.1 after that. I rebooted and since have not gotten past the SGS4G screen. I'm also stuck now with boot loop unless I odin kd1 again since CWM is no longer accessible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
do it again but instead of flashing bali 2.1 boot to recovery which will be cwm red once u have black ice installed

and disable lagfix

reboot

and if u did it the way i explained u should be able to boot cwm orange as vol up down and power should thow u back to bdn

if that doesnt work i got an alternitive for u
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
alternitive

Flash back using kd 1 u did with the rooted methood

2 ways to do this

install prerooted kd1

or flash back to stock kc or kd and superone click it

push the recovery file to the approate system folder using root exploer see above post

your choice

download and put this on the sd car

T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip

once you have that on there and ur rooted boot cwm flash that

even if you had a kd 1 flash that

then after u flash it check ur mounts make sure there proper then flash black ice

that should give u 0 issues
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
Ignore this post for now firefox goofed somehow and reposted.... Waiting on T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip to finish downloading.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
sorry i have so many diffrent roms i tested im trying to go though and remember which ones gave me smooth install lol...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
I can't even get that T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip to install without throwing a bootloop either. I was able to boot into the rooted KD1 after which I rebooted into CWM and checked mounts and flashed that file but it won't boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
odd i just flashed it without issue hummm odin to kb or something then push the recovery record then cwm and install kd

if that doesnt work honestly u prob have a screwd up download
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Compxpert:
Very odd considering I just flashed it again after an odin of KD1 and it booted this time. Maybe my mounts were wrong? I didn't check them last time I tried to flash it though I checked this time and they didn't even need changed.

Edit: I finally have blackice after much work. If you follow the above method mentioned in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15272567&postcount=546

You will be successful if you do that. Simply odin a prerooted rom (I used WhiteHawxs KD1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063696). After successfully booting that rom reboot into bdn (Vol Up+Vol Dn+Power) and do the update from sd to load orange CWM. (I would hope you do have update.zip on your SD and that your recovery.bin has been swapped out already if you didn't odin the same rom as me) Flash this CWM rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106822 (T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip). Follow the instructions on the thread yes that means doing the data wipe/factory reset and the cache wipe first and then flashing the T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip file. Once you are able to load up that rom go back into bdn one more time(Vol Up+Vol Dn+Power) and load up CWM and simply flash black ice and reboot don't bother with the reboot into recovery and voodoo lag fix yet. Linda should say something like backing up system and estimated time 2 minutes. If you hear that you will have black ice. I cannot stress this enough make sure your mounts are correct as per OP before each flash or it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
I have flashed this rom twice and only had problems the first time And that was my fault not the op's rom. The rom is great for those of us that got it running. Hope you guys figure it out.

I'm newbie for android

I have place the zip into SD card and use quick boot to recovery mode.

then select update from zip and choose blackice.

but it show me "E:Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) Installation aborted"

Can anyone guide me what i do wrong ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Yes, you did something very wrong. You didnt bother to read the OP carefully.

You don't select update.zip, you choose a file in your SD card to flash. Update.zip is for CWM.

Take the time to read everything, or else you'll brick.

It will probably remain there too I got diffrent positive responses from linda with that method too but it just sat there. I'll help you out here is what I did to get black ice working. Credit to RaverX3X for the original post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15272567&postcount=546.

Odin a prerooted rom (I used WhiteHawxs KD1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063696).

Wait till the phone reboots into bdn and then reboot and allow the phone to boot up.

After you allow the phone to boot restart it and put it in recovery mode. (Vol Up+Vol Dn+Power) If you used WhiteHawxs KD1 it has quick boot which would also get you straight to recovery. Once in bdn recovery do the update from sd to load update.zip and orange CWM. If you used WhiteHawxs KD1 this will work however if it didn't work you need to find go to the CWM final thread and download and push recovery.bin to replace the one on the phone.

Once in orange CWM flash this CWM rom remember to check mounts first (Unmount, Mount, Mount, Unmount): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106822 (T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip). Follow the instructions on the thread that means doing the data wipe/factory reset and the cache wipe first and then flashing the T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip file.

Allow that to reboot fully into the rom and then reboot again and into bdn one more time(Vol Up+Vol Dn+Power) and load up CWM with the update.zip and simply flash black ice remembering to check mounts again prior to flashing(Unmount, Mount, Mount, Unmount). Reboot don't bother with the reboot into recovery and voodoo lag fix yet.

Linda should say something like backing up system partition and estimated time 2 minutes. If you hear that you will have black ice.

trigger theme

Krylon are there any chances that you will be porting themes to Black ice?

I try someone's trigger theme port but the only thing that the theme did was messed up my phone completely So I had to Odin back at least 9 times today trying to make it work and another 5 times trying to install black ice but i got it XP right and now works just fine =]

Hey krylon is the battery mod accurate? (Status bar that is)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Well since this storm woke me up I can comment now, cause I. Aint sleepy. Well folks I'm coming from bionix frost and I gotta say this black ice is sweet. First I flashed the ext4 converter then checked my mounts and flashed away. Install is all good and I'm not experincing any problems. Was receiving the cache error(ext4 related) ,cleared that up by going to cwm and wipping the cache then go to mounts and adjusted to "mount cache"(which means unmount,it will mount on reboot) ,fixed permissions and reboot. To verify this worked I opened terminal emulator and checked my mounts and cache was back to rfs and system and data are ext4. all that said this is by far one off my favorites and can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve. Thanks krylon360 and thanks for this awesome rom:D

If I have the stock 2.2 on the phone, and have just rooted it, can anyone help me with the next step? I rooted and flashed a few different ROMs on the Vibrant but this GS4g is giving me difficulty. Once I flash clockwork MOD, I try to load ROM from SD, I choose the Bionix file, but when it boots into recovery it doesnt do anything. It only provides the option to delete cache, delete all user data, reinstall packages, reboot. Also I am not seeing the mounting stuff mentioned here, maybe that's where I'm messing up. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Look HERE for instructions on flashing Roms. Then Check This Post For information on flashing Black Ice. It really depends on what you have actually done to your phone. The first thing you DON’T want to do is install CWM (ROM Manager) from the market. Doing that just make things more complicated.

Used Odin to root the phone since SuperClick wouldn't work.

Followed the steps for installing CWM the right way - NOT from the market.

Followed the steps to install Black Ice.

Rebooted the phone and it's been stuck at the FIRST Galaxy S splash screen forever - longer than 20 minutes.

NOW WTF DO I DO?

I can't Odin now because it doesn't recognize the device because apparently the USB port isn't working. Tried removing the battery and rebooting, but the same thing happens. Now, I can't even get into CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
ok first, how did you get ODIN to root your phone?

you might have screwed up bad just by doing that

but maybe not,

try reinstalling the drivers to ODIN then plug your phone in so windows can reconfigure your device

Used a custom .TAR file provided in a thread here. I'll try your way though. Letcha know in a few.

hmm well to be honest it sounds like an actual HARDWARE problem and not the software

if it doesnt work at all and you cant plug it in to the computer the phone actually had a malfunction and you need to take it in to tmobile for a new one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
do u get any kinda sound at all if u plug it in to a pc or even trying to charge it?

power off hit vol up down and insert usb see if it goes into dl mode if not u prob have a faulty usb port

Given the streak of bad luck I've had trying to customize this phone, I'm gonna hafta decline that invite. I spent about 9 hours yesterday just trying to get Black Ice to boot up and never got any further than the first splash screen. Hell, at least with my G2, MT4G and HD2 I could easily switch between ROMs once they were rooted. This thing is GD pain in the ass. Even the SK4G I had was a pain to customize. If I feel like wasting another day attempting to customize this thing, then yeah, I'll try ICBINB.

I tried to get black ice for about a solid week and never got past the first screen either. Flashed icbinb rom first try and have used it since. It is an easy install and an outstanding rom if you choose to try it.
