Flash using the noobs guide to odin found in the bible thread guide section, but instead of downloading kb5 from that thread, grab the stock deodexed kc1 from the odin rom section of the bible. Get into download mode by pulling out your battery, pressing both volume buttons and plugging in the usb cord.

I kept telling you to read the bible thread and the directions in each thread! But this is a soft brick and you can fix it, so it will be ok. Search for the bible thread! SEARCH!! Know what you are doing before you make a change. :) Just odin for now and get that running. I can give you very specific directions in a bit on how to flash a rom. Let us know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Dont' worry i already flashed it back to the rom you suggested (KC1 Deodexed) what im fine with ODIN, i know how to use it. what im struggling on is the ICBINB Final ROM that Team Acid released. I've tried it twice to get installed and ive failed each time. because it won't get passed the dang splash screen where it says Samsung GalaxyS 4G, and you cant use odin with it. it has to be CWM i believe
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Are you on red cmw? Chances are your not so you have to check your mounts on recovery very important probably causing your brick
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
good job rickyy00!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
how in the world do I get Red CMW, I sdid have ROM manager from the market when i tried the first time, then i got bricked, and it was orange, but after i flashed the ROM it was red. Then i removed it from my SD card, CWM Recovery. Plus I already have Krylons CWM on my phone, but when I tried the second time. By the way I didn't have rom manager this time i used quickboot from the market to get into recovery. so i booted to recovery, I put the recovery file into /system/bin and then i put the update in my sd card and I ran the update.zip. BUT it still lead me to the Orange CWM. Which is bugging me out. So i dont know what I did wrong, plus my mounts were UMMU
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you dont flash the update.zip. you just place it on the root of your sd card and leave it. the red cwm is from bali 3 or higher. once you flash the kernel, you will see the red cwm when you go into recovery and then you can delete the update.zip.

seriously. you have to start reading the threads before you do this stuff. i already gave you a step by step to do this on one of your other threads. researching is key here....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
okay so when i use quick boot. I get into stock recovery. Then I do reinstall package then it boots me up to the orange cwm. trust me ive read I havent even slept yet. Ive been searching. Im just too blind to see the answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
start with krylon final cwm. his directions are pretty straightforward. i used root explorer to move the file where it needed to be.

i am assuming you downloaded the icbinb rom already, as well as the ext converter and bali 3.3 kernel. place all of the zip files you download into the root of your sd card....which means that if you connect your phone to the computer and open it using windows explorer, it is that first window, which lists all of the folders. dont put these files in folders or anything.

once that is done, i restarted my phone in recovery shutting down fully and pressing the power+volume up+volume down. once there, i went to reinstall packages to get into cwm.

then when this loads, i wiped the system/factory reset and wiped the cache. then i went to mounts and storage and mounted my system. (the final mounting output should be: unmount, mount, mount, unmount). i then scrolled to "go back"

i choose install zip file from sd card. choose zip file, which should be the second option if my memory serves me right. scroll to the bali kernel and flash that and reboot recovery. check your mounts. then do those steps again to get to the ext converter and install that one. then when that is done, go back to install file from sd card, choose icbinb.5.zip and install that one. then when that is done, i click go back and go to advanced and choose reboot reboot recovery. once that is done, you will see the galaxy s screen for like 5 min or so followed by the android boot animation. once you see this, it will take another minute or so to load up. once you see that the rom loads up...LET THE PHONE SIT FOR 10 minutes. i know it seems long, but just let it sit.

after 10 min or so, i would go into your about phone options and check and see that you have bali3.3 and that the rom is correct.

remember, the first option in choosing a zip file is update.zip from krylons final cwm. do not flash this after the rom/ext/whatever.

after this, you should be running the rom fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
What I do is I flash krylons black ice over kd1 the voodoo one. It gives you red cmw. Go to his thread and read up on how to.flash. Pm me if you need anymore help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Okay so im following you a little bit better. Okay but when you said you booted into cwm was it red and not orange. Like throughout this whole process you never had the orange cwm. And do I put the update from krylon final in the root of the sd card also?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
"start with krylon final cwm. his directions are pretty straightforward. i used root explorer to move the file where it needed to be." is the orange cwm.

when you flash bali 3 or higher, you get the red cwm. when you flash the bali kernel, you can consider that upgrading the orange cwm, if that makes it easier for you. once you have the red cwm, you can delete the update.zip at a later time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Okay so I will encounter Clockwork mod recovery which the orange one. Thats no doubt. Then when I flash kernel I will get the red cwm. Then I can flash ext4 then the rom right? And for the voodoo thing it said after you flash the rom

You disable of enable system bugging and lagfix. Which do I do for thoss
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
once you flash the rom, go back, go to advanced, and reboot recovery. once you are back in recovery, go to voodoo and make sure it says lagfix enabled on next book and that the system lagfix is enabled. debug should say no. because you flashed the ext4 converter, i dont think you will have to be changing anything, but make sure it says that it is enabled. once it is correct, go back and reboot the phone. you should be good to go. remember to let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Okay ill read this over mannnyyyy times and try it when I get home
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Listen man easiest way to do this:

Your on KD1, you put krylons upadte.zip and recovery on your sd. Once you get to the orange cmw download krylons blackice.voodoo

And go into recovery and flash black ice. Once its done dont reboot and.go.to advanved and reboot recovery. You now should be on red cmw. No need for mounts on red cmw. Before you reboot go to the voodoo menu and enable lagfix.

Reboot

Now for desextons rom:

Go to red cmw. Flash the ext4 converter and when its done flashing before you reboot make sure you flash desexton rom. When its done reboot now go into recovery 1 last last time and flash 3.3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
flashing the bali kernel will give him the red cwm. i dont see the point of flashing black ice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Alright, you seem to be having a lot of problems here, so I'll try to write something nice and detailed for you (maybe anyone else who has problems too).

The very first step would be to root your device. Download SuperOneClick somewhere from this forum and make sure your device has USB Debugging turned ON. Root and you're done.

Second step would be to Odin to KC1 or KD1, anything that'll give you a clean slate.

Your next step after this would be to get CWM Final. Here's the link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374 Download recovery and update.zip. The recovery file may download in a different name, so just rename it to recovery (it happened to me once). Push the recovery file to /system/bin using SuperManager or another root explorer. Be sure that you set the it to R/W mode. So, doing all of this would obviously get you CWM Final, which you get into by holding volume up, volume down, and power until the Galaxy S screen comes up. This gives you the ORANGE CWM!

Now that you have CWM working, get dsexton702's ext4 converter. Flash that with CWM (install zip from sd card). You don't need to check the mounts for that. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123039

With that, wipe cache and data. Flash ICBINB. CHECK YOUR MOUNTS! Make sure it's umount, mount, mount, unmount. That should flash fine now. Right after flashing that, flash Bali Kernel 3.1 or 3.3. If you want only /data as ext4, flash 3.1. If you want full ext4, flash 3.3.

After you've finished flashing, go to Advanced -> Reboot recovery. That will reboot your super awesome and amazing orange CWM to the even more super awesome and amazing RED CWM.

From red CWM, go to Voodoo and enable/disable whatever you want. If you want full ext4 make sure everything is lagfix is enabled on the next boot and that /system conversion is on. If you want /data as ext4, you might have to boot up in full ext4, reboot, turn off lagfix in the Voodoo app and the red CWM Voodoo, and reboot.

That should really be about it.

Just remember to have the following files in the root of your sd card:

1) update.zip (this is for CWM, don't flash this at all)

2) ext4converter.zip

3) any ROM (in this case ICBINB)

4) Bali Kernal 3.0+

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Wait bkoon and Jager and ricky, I appreciate everyones help. But bkoon what is the difference between /system and/data as ext4? what do those do?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Black ice has bali and he was probably.gonna wanna flash the latest.over the.icbnb rom anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I'm not a developer, so I wouldn't really know. dsexton702 and RaverX3X found that the /data ext4 mod was faster than having a full ext4. Here's the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1141550

If you have /system as ext4, you might as well have full ext4 (/data and /cache) as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Thanks! I'll go test this out tonight, when im done watching Iron Man 2. I really hope this works.

EDIT: So if I have /system on ext4, will /data and /cache be it also since /system is like the seed to the plant, and data and cache are like the apples. So if I make /system ext4, then /data and /cache would probably be ext4 also.?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
No. If you check the Lagfix preferences for Voodoo, you'll see there's three options.

The first is ext4 conversion, which converts /data and /cache to ext4. The second is ext4 /system, which converts /system to ext4. Keep lagfix debug mode off.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
EDIT: ICBINB.7 just came out, if i wanted to do that one instead, should i do all the steps, just instead of .5 zip put the .7 in my sd card? and Please please reply on this one, if I go with .5 and i want to update to .7 how would i do that
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I'm sure it's the same process. It's still a whole ROM in itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Bkoon, so i've done everything you said so far, you didn't mention wiping anything, so i didnt do that, but everything else i followed. So I did the full ext4, my phone right now is in red CWM and it says

Voodoo lagfix is actually: enabled

next boot: enabled

Options:

/system lagfix conversion: yes

debug mode: no

That is correct right?

then you continued you say in your last statement

"reboot, turn off lagfix in the Voodoo app and the red CWM Voodoo, and reboot."

what do you mean? can i just reboot my phone since i want full ext4. i dont have to turn off lagfix in red CWM and voodoo app. is the voodoo app just orange cwm or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you said you wanted everything to be ext4, so you can just reboot. only do that last statement if you dont want everything ext4
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
He said i didnt have to wipe anything, so im good with that right? so i just do what you told me is to reboot now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Ah, that's one thing I forgot to mention. Sorry about that. Wiping just gives you a "cleaner" slate. I'll edit my post for anyone who sees that in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
Crap so i didn't wipe anything, and now im in Red CWM, How do I wipe!?! did i mess up?!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
if you're in red cwm, just go to wipe cache. then when that is done, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
So i did what you said i rebooted. I heard a robotic voice, Linda i believe, she said ETA 10 minutes, am i good to go?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
you made sure lagfix was enabled for boot, right? and it was enabled on the system? if you hear linda....then you should be ok. :) let the phone sit...even after the rom loads. leave it for 10 minutes after the rom itself starts up to rebuild your cache and dalvik cache
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
im seeing a green android popping up like repeatedly, is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
yes. that is the boot animation. you should be fine now. the rom is loading for the first time. just leave it after it loads.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
sooooo my phone just booted to the part where its telling me to like enter my gmail and all that "use google location" then i have to press next. is it finished?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
like i said before. leave the phone for 10 minutes or so to build the cache! (c'mon, man!) after 10 min, reboot and let it load up and do whatever you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
oh okay! so i'll just give my phone an extra 15 minutes JUST IN CASE ;)

then ill reboot hehe.

All i can say is ; much respect for you and bkoon who stood by me and all my questions, confusions, and bs all the way.

i need to keep this thread by the way hahaha so i can look at the instructions again

when a new update comes out. Plus say dsextion release a .9 or something. do i have to put the .9 zip. bali zip. update zip. and ext4 conv zip all back to the SD. make a backup or if i screw up flash to odin, then redo the whole process just with the .9 zip?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
glad you got it working.

when team acid releases a new one, back up your apps, and flash the new one the same way you did this one, restore, and you shouldnt have any problems. its the same exact process.

if you brick, try getting into cwm first and if you cant, odin.

your welcome. don't be a stranger to that thank button for bkoon either. his guide was very well written on how to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
so after i back up my data. should i just keep the bali,ext4,and update zip files on my sd card that way i can save myself time from dling them again, unless a new bali somes out. so say that happens. all i have to do again is flash the ext4 then rom then kernel, then voodoo, then wipe the stuff, then reboot then im good to go with I.E (ICBINB .9)

BTW, my phone doesnt get into recovery via button combo i had to ADB it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
i always keep them on my sd root. hahah...there are times when i am sitting there and i'm like...lets flash a new rom. lol. for new good reason. team acid and whiskey...this has turned into an addiction! lol.

and honestly, just follow whatever steps we outlined that got it working for you. i think you should be good now that you got it working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
I think your right ill just keep it on there, and for the instructions, ill copy paste it to a notepad file and edit in the wiping instructions haha..

Thank you so much Jager and Bkoon!

hopefully if i have more questions, you guys are there! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Haha, ricky00. ;P

As for the files I told you to put into your sd card, I also leave it in there like jager555. They're not ridiculously large anyways, so it wouldn't hurt.

Once you flash a new ROM, be sure to let it sit for at least 10 minutes to rebuild the dalvick cache. Afterwards, you can go nuts! Also, be sure to calibrate the battery. I do it every time I flash a new ROM or kernel.

When you want to flash more ROMs (and you will with all the amazing new ROMs that will come out), simply boot to CWM and create a NANDROID backup. A NANDROID backup is pretty much your whole system backed up as it is, so you could always just restore it to get what you had.

If you want to restore your apps, sms, etc. from a NANDROID backup, go to Advanced Restore and restore data.

Glad to know this worked for you. Hope this learning experience has taught you well! Happy flashing! :D

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
yes ricky you too!!!

and bkoon, i honestly don't understand this whole battery calibration. could you please make a step by step detail thing again pleasee. :P I dont feel like it's doing anything to my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
since you have icbinb, charge to 100%. leave it plugged in. open the battery calibration app. click calibrate battery. allow superuser. click ok. unplug the phone. close the app. let the phone drain until it shuts down. plug it back in and let it charge until it is 100%. make sure you DO NOT UNPLUG until it is fully charged to 100% after it drains. once it is 100%, use the phone normally. you will see a difference in 1-3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
when the final theme comes out for icbinb i dont have to recalibrate cause its only a theme not a rom. correct? i just dont want to do false instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
when the theme comes out, you dont have to recalibrate. thats only when flashing roms and the theme has nothing to do with that. but if you ever feel your battery is draining too fast or is incorrect, you can recalibrate. just be patient for the calibration to kick in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
okay. sooo im gonna flash the rom, but i just used the new feature of icbinb.7 to go to the power menu and select recovery and it booted me to the RED CWM, do i have to use Orange CWM for this first?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
no you can go to recovery from your current setup and flash over it. make sure to follow dsexton702's instructions in the OP once you are in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Ceeedgeee:
oh okay. sounds good. and dooo i have to pay for Tegrak OC? Likee orr can I download the ultimate version. because i put the settings in CPU 0 and pressed apply. and it said. "watching settings" should it apply once you press apply?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
tegrak oc was made by an xda dev. and it is very cheap and completely worth it, so i dont think there should be a problem with purchasing..unless you dont have the cash, which makes it understandable.

the watching stability function, although some people take it off, is there to make sure you dont destroy your phone, but as long as you stick to what dsexton worked hard to figure out for us, then you should be fine.

just click apply and when you see watching stability, exit the app and let it finish watching. once it is done, make sure the settings stick (i usually reboot) and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Jager555 pretty much said it all, but here's some more. In case if you still need a step by step, here it is:

1) Flash new ROM or kernel

2) Charge to 100%

3) Go to Battery Calibration App and press "Calibrate Battery"

4) Unplug and deplete the battery with regular use

5) Use it like you normally would

For step #2, keep in mind that your battery is not at 100% right when your battery indicator says 100%. It takes a while after that to really be 100%. One way to find out is to check the Battery Calibration App, and it'll say how much mV is in the current charge. The number should be VERY close to 4,200mV. For me, I get 4,193mV on a 100% charge.

The reason you need to do this every time you flash a new ROM or kernel is because different battery information may be saved from a previous ROM or kernel. For example, your previous ROM could've snorted your battery life like a crackhead, so your battery will remember that and you won't get the battery life you're supposed to get.

The very last thing you need to know is that it takes a couple of cycles before your battery is finished calibrating. So, the first few charges, the battery might go down FAST. I would literally drain 20% overnight just idling. After the battery is done calibrating, I would only lose a few % of battery overnight.

Regarding the new theme, don't forget to let it sit for a while. When you flash it through CWM, it wipes the dalvik cache, so you need to give it time to rebuild before you start going crazy on your device.

Damn, I should really stop writing such long posts, lol.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] arti123456:
Hi!

Yesterday my Mileston was OK (about 40% battery), I have put it in my pocket and after 30 minutes device was off. I thought that batterry is discharged. So I connected it to the wall charger, but nothing happened (white led doesn't light up, black screen) and I can't power it up. I have left it for night and today is the same situation - no charging led, doesn't power up. When I connecting it to the USB port white charging led is flashing but nothing more, screen still blank, doesn't power up. I can't go into bootloader.

Tried:

- Removed/reinserted battery

- Press power button with SIM removed

- Press power button with memory card removed

- Press power button and X

- Press power button and UP

- Press power button without battery inserted, while on wall charger

And nothing. Have you any idea?

@EDIT:

I have connected old nokia battery with cables and phone started up. Everything is ok.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikelodean7:
So I think I will flash my 3.0.1 EU xoom 3g. But before I do so, I want to make sure, that its worth it. Otherwise I would wait...

So here there are:

With 3.1 (all about usbhost),

Am I able to connect my phone like a drive?

Am I able to use a usb hub?

If yes, can I copy files from a drive to my connected phone using the xoom?

How many devices can I connect? More than 5? So eg. Keyboard, mouse, phone, drive, usbstick?

Thanks in advance, mikelodean7

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliteone:
as far as connecting a hub goes you can do it, but your goin to have to make sure its a powered hub, I don't think the xooms battery would like all those items pulling power from it at once. And as long as you make sure to mount your phone as a drive after you plug it in it should just show up a an external drive.
