[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
It's because of the Build.prop, originally made for KF2. If it's THAT important to you, I've edited the build.prop and put it in the ROM so that it shows 2.3.4 and KG4, rather than 2.3.3 and KF2.

New download link going up soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
How about how long will the first boot take? Also, do I need to let this ROM settle like all the others?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Shouldn't really need to settle. First boot took between 1-2 minutes, no more then that.

Oh and hold your horses on downloading, I just created a theme for it and changed the build.prop so everything looks good :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] OnE ShoT:
I really wanna flash this but from reading all the post it is not clear enough on how exactly we should flash this w.o having any issues. I think there should be a guide on how a gingerbread build should be flashed and why. Everytime I get on here I see someone proposing a new method to flash is really confusing...

Good work though thanks for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Personally, All I did was ODIN KD1, then flash this.

The ROM full-wipes everything for you, but there's a (small) chance you'll have "rainbow" boot. It just means the boot screen colors are changed, I believe.

That's the case with any KG4 flash.

It won't change ROM performance, or boot times. Just the bootscreen.

Thank you for the compliment though :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
Oh. Well, I guess mine bricked because it was stuck at the first splash screen for 10 minutes.

Odin, here I come.

Also, I am assuming you already uploaded the new version with the theme because the first post when I got it first when edited at 11:11 and now it's been edited at 11:57.

I'll letcha know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
no good yet...

Nope, still working on the theme. Having a few issues with the Boot Animation.

I'll be sure to update the OP once it's all done. I'll upload both a themed and non-themed, & fixed build.prop version :)

Not sure why you bricked. Remember, check your mount points when flashing, as well as disabling VOODOO.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
Even double checked my mounts and Voodoo. Oh well. No big deal. Nobody needs to call or text me at 12:30 at night anyway. So, I've got time to do all this tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
at least you don't have to odin every single time you change your ROM :P

every time I flash this and make a change, I have to odin back to KD1 so i can use CWM again hahahah

11th ODIN in 24 hours :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
That does suck. Of course, this phone has given me the most problems I've had since I used a Motorola Cliq. I even wasted over 9 hours one day trying to flash Black Ice. I've had a bunch of issues with the phone, but I don't ***** because they're nothing major.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] OnE ShoT:
Thanks for the fast response I will do it your way then :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
9 Hours? jeez, i would've given up.

and moto cliq....jeez. i can sum all of those problems up in one word; motoblur. hahaha. but i can't really talk, i just got an Atrix 4G. dang motoblur :l

the GS4G isn't a terrible phone by any means.

but it sure as heck doesn't have a big enough community to make it as amazing as it could be.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
Yeah, that's true. I mean, it's Samsung's fault really. Having so much of their stuff locked down the way they do. HTC isn't nearly as proprietary as Samsung is, which is why it is much easier to build custom ROMs for their phones. Plus, their marketing sucks. The only thing that Samsung is pushing at all these days is the 10 inch tablet.

By the way, thanks for the good work on this. I've just now flashed via Odin. Going to flash this ROM now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Might want to wait a little while. The build.prop in this ROM displays 2.3.3 in "about", in settings, as well as KF2 when in reality it's KG4.

other than that, if you don't care go ahead and flash :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
I don't really care about nitpicky details like that. As long as it works the way it should (and I'll know since I got used to having 2.3.4 on my HD2 and myTouch 4G), then I'm happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Galaxy s phones are top selling phones on the planet
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
True, lol. Including the Vibrant, Fascinate, Captivate, GS4G, i9000, and another one or two if i'm not mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
So, no luck. Odined back to KB5 + root, flashed CWM, flashed this ROM and still got stuck at the first boot screen. Oh well. Guess I'll have to wait for a fully custom ROM to get GB on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Try the new mounts.

The issue I'm having is obvious permission issues everyone I reboot I lose programs getting frustrated here
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bumblephuk:
I got the permissions problem and did a factory restore and a cache clear an have not had the problem since.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] penguin0609:
Will try that thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
How about running dr Honk's rfsconverter?

That will wipe and remove all those ext4 partitions to REALLY go clean. Then flash the cwm kd1 not the odin one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
Stuck in a boot loop after trying it with the new mounts. And now I can't get it to go into DL mode, so I'm kinda screwed at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
Everything I try ends the same way - boot loop. And it takes me like 40 attempts to get the phone into DL mode. Right now, though, I'm on attempt 53 and it just keeps going into charging mode. This is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
Would love to give that a try, but my search for his rfs converter didn't turn up anything.

Plus, I am back to the point of doing multiple attempts (on number 35 right now) to get this phone into download mode so I can Odin back to a working ROM.

I think I'm done with this phone. Once I get it back to working, I'm putting it on Craigslist.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
while i really do love this phone i really had a much better experience with roms/kernels and stuff with my vibrant everything was so straightforward good luck anyways
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thetrees13:
Try taking out the battery, then plugging in the usb cable, then while you hold down the volume buttons put the battery in, that helps sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
this never fails
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
I tried it every possible way. Battery out, vol up/down held in then plug in USB cable didn't work either. 94 attempts it took this time. That's insane.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
ok so i just flashed this coming from ICBINB latest version with voodoo this is what i did and it should work from any rom

1- disable voodoo lagfix and system ext4

2- wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset

3-mounts and storage -> format system

4- flash RFS converter

5-check mounts U-M-M-U

6-flash rom

7-advanced -> fix permissions

8-check mounts U-U-U-U

9-reboot

I probably did a lot of unnecessary stuff but i don't care it worked and this is what i always do and it hasn't failed me yet

i did however get the rainbow screen from the bootloaders

how can i flash JUST the new bootloaders?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
The battery doesnt have to be out, turn phone off hold volume down plus up and plug usb if it doesnt work your harsbricked or on different bootloaders

sent from my sgs4g 2.3.3, finally
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
bootloaders

anyone know how i can flash just the new bootloaders since i already flashed the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
I think you can use HEIMDALL to flash just bootloaders, but double check that to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
you can just flash the boot and sbl files with heimdall
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Any way to flash bootloaders thru odin instead of heimdall. I like being able to choose no reboot just incase of a bad flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
you could just make a tar.md5 and just include the 3 nessary files for just the boot loaders and flash that with odin
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Time to do some research then and learn how to create a tar.md5
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
anyone wanna be a sweetheart and make a tar with just the bootloaders who knows how for us who don't? ;D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
really??? Really its not hard use a file compression software and make a tar file.... But here
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
thanks <3

;)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
It is if you don't own a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
everytime i reboot i lose all my apps wtf
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
i get what u mean cnote i wasnt critisizing anyone just the fact it seems some people cant figure out the basic fundemitals of even simple file compression
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
I would make 1 if I had a pc I want to flash gingerbread so bad, but I don't want the rainbow screen. I just wanted the bootloaders to flash then I was going to flash kg4 debloated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Boot into Samsung recovery and do a factory reset. Then reinstall all apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
cant get into recovery i guess because of my bootloader i am gonna try the reset option in the privacy menu
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Use QuickBoot, included in the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
that didnt work either just gets stuck at the splash screen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Hmpf. Odin KD1, Flash this with the correct mounts, and fix permissions. Look at the FAQ on the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
can someone verify for me that after flashing the bootloaders and tryng to get back to kd1 causes a complete software brick with a black screen but you can still odin but u cant see the screen it will get half way through flashing kd1 then fail...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
Was anyone able to get the camera to work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
That's because recovery doesn't work with this ROM. I think I remember reading that in the first post, but I could be wrong.

You may have to reflash entirely, which means going all the way back to Odin KD1 + root, flash CWM final and then flash this ROM. Have fun! I gave up on getting this ROM to work, I've been trying since midnight last night and get nothing but boot loops and stuck at the flash screen. I'm sure it's my phone though since everyone else seems to be able to flash this just fine. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
Using an app called pudding camera for now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bumblephuk:
I cant get camera either.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:

Edit: I just flashed it woth odin and it worked like a charm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:

Hows kf2 radio vs kg4
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
I prefer the kf2 modem the new radio is really quirky and fades in and out with me especially data
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Is there anyway to Odin the modem or push it? I don't wanna ODIN to KD1 and cwm kg4 and modem again lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Should be able to do it with Heimdall
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
For everyone assisting in getting this ROM working, thank you :) I'm not smart enough for all this, I haven't even tried to use heimdall, hahaha.

Aaaaanyway, I'll hopefully get the camera working soon, and post a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
Or u can make a pda with just the modem file and flash with odin.... I think
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
Thats why we have diffrent modems not all work in the right area for some
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bumblephuk:
I can confirm the camera fix! Thankz!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The modem goes on a different partition, you won't be able to just push it with adb or root explorer, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Thanks.. so will I have to Odin a new modem? Is it safe to assume it won't wipe my data?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Someone said earlier that you'll need to create your own PDA file. I do believe it's just a regular TAR file, which you can make in 7Z. It shouldn't wipe your data, since it's writing to a different partition.

EDIT

It's not a PDA file. You need to put it in the PHONE section of odin. You need a tar file with just one file in it, modem.bin which you can grab from the modems thread.

EDIT 2:

Check out my new thread, added all the modems there:

Okay, So my apps keep disappearing when I reboot. I've re-flashed about four times now, each time making sure to "fix permissions" after the flash, but before the reboot. Anyone have any suggestions? It's getting frustrating :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Try both mounts mentioned on the FAQ on the OP.

It's honestly a hit-and-miss with users. Not really sure why.

What i'd do is ODIN back to KD1, delete your update.zip on your SDCARD, download a new one and put it on, then try and flash this with the correct mounts.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:

Hey Dan.. Something is up with the download links on your download page. I clicked the link with the KF2 ROM and the download begins but then randomly stops usually after I've downloaded 20-25 mb. I tried downloading it numerous times, restarted my computer, tried on different browsers and on a completely separate wifi connection, and even disabled my anti-virus and firewall.

Nothing seems to work. Can someone please upload the ROM w/ KF2 Modem to a different source? http://www.multiupload.com/ ? Thanks!

Anyone else having issues with wifi not connecting? I've got my router secured with WPA2 and all my other device connect to it just fine. But when I put the passphrase in the phone, it goes to 'Obtaining IP address....' and then eventually goes back to scanning. It won't connect.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] silverspoon80:
+2 - the host is ridiculous. and mount mount mount unmount is a method used to verify the correct mounts on your data, system, cache and sdcard partitions before flashing stuff via CM recovery. mounting doesn't apply to gingerbread because we don't have a working custom recovery; yet.

so in other words, if you upgrade from froyo to gingerbread, you loose your privilege to custom recovery.;)

that sounds like a router issue. try the wps method to connect to your wifi router or simply reboot it.
