[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] richdaley:
I am a long time Android flasher (original mytouch 3g and Acer Iconia tablet) but I am a total noob to this phone and it seems more complicated.

Yesterday I rooted using the odin rooting method in the sticky post and I installed the kernel with voodoo recovery. Linda talked about partitioning and it seems like it went fine. After that, I was able to boot right into the red recovery.

Today I followed the instructions at the top of this thread and installed this ROM. It seemed to go well and it booted up. I didn't fully understand the disable voodoo line because I am not sure how voodoo works or what it meant so I disabled in the control app while I was booted to froyo but when I checked in the recovery if it was disabled, it said status: enabled, next boot: disabled so I rebooted the phone and then it showed up as disabled. I think this is where I went wrong. I also disabled voodoo on the /system partition or whatever the second one list is.

The problem is that now I can't boot into recovery at all. When I hold the volume buttons and power, I get the samsung splash screen and nothing else and if I hold all three buttons, it seems to shut off and on which I assume is because I am holding the power button. When I let go and just hold the volume buttons, I just see the samsung splash screen for a long time.

The other things I have noticed is that Linda is telling me she is trying to repartition but there is not enough space. I see the thread for the fix for this but it requires me to boot to recovery which I cannot do. Other than the fact that Linda's yapping causes my coworkers to realize that I am playing with my phone and not working, it isn't that big of a deal to me.

I also lost apps the first time I rebooted including the market. I seemed to have solved this by repartitioning the SD card through the storage settings menu. I am not sure if that is related.

Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? The phone is working fine for now running GB but I am addicted to flashing roms so I am going to eventually going to want recovery.

*note:you have to be rooted and clockworkmod has to be installed

-follow this guide to flash this rom for bootloaders here

-then flash Dr Honks KG4 Kernel here

-now you have set the foundation to install ICBINB GB ROM. so go to CWM by turning the phone off, then hold volume up and down with power button, when the samsung splash screen comes on let go of the power button only. you should be in recovery.

-now disable voodoo partition your sd card if you have to then boot. when linda does her thing and you fully boot the rom now put the ICBINB rom on the sd card and go back to recovery to flash it.

-after you flash the rom let it boot dont touch voodoo just go in and make sure its disabled still if you want.

-now when the phone boots up go download and install busybox. (choose 1.17 in the busybox app and install in xbins) now reboot into recovery.

-Now you may enable voodoo and restart system to boot.now when you hear the sweet sexy voice of linda telling you that she will finish her duty in 4 mins. then get ready to enjoy your phone like you never pictured it to be. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
im comeing from froyo to gingerbread and i was curios about the bootloaders. could you post the link or tell me what to do if i want to go from icbinb froyo final to this rom + ext 4. if you can thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snake212:
follow that same guide you will be fine. i was on that same ROM going to ICBINB GB ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
i was asking for the link you put for the first one cause it didnt work. the bootloaders one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snake212:
try it now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perroh:
What the heck am I doing wrong... I've done so much reading, I'M LOSSSTT!!

I came from stock Froyo, but rooted...

Followed your directions below, and this is where I'm at.

I want to have this freakin ROM we're talking bout in this thread, but have become lost.. I feel like I'm on right track, so where do I pick up or continue to do?!?

I dont go into ANY CWM Recovery either after the steps I followed...

Whats next.. what did I do wrong!?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snake212:
You need to install cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perroh:
Okay, which guide do I follow then??

I did the "update on root folder & recovery rewrite @Bin folder" but then when I restart in recovery, I get the failed signature error!??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snake212:
Dowload root check and make sure you are rooted first before anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perroh:
Okay got it, checked, rooted sir...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perroh:
I'm at this step right now actually... So when you disable voodoo partition, does that mean "DISABLE LAGFIX" only.. or "DISABLE LAGFIX" & "/SYSTEM LAGFIX"??

Because I dont see a "DISABLE VOODOO PARTITION" option in the CWM menus?!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Disable both system lagfix and data lagfix
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perroh:
After a while I FINALLY got this installed but then had this issue:

So after getting the ROM installed, I followed the instructions on the VOODOO DISABLE, etc, and then let the ROM boot up.

As soon as I try to connect to wifi or register my gmail account for email or the market, it goes into a continuous loop that doesnt restart the whole phone, but more like, it shows the 1st few seconds of T-MOBILE bootscreen, then goes back to my home screen with the stock screen lock on, and then does it again and again... so I just ODIN'd all over to this GB LEAK:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1183413

I then flashed Dr Honks KG4 Kernel and this combo works fine, so far..

Only issue I've had was with a specific app.. WIDGETSOID. Data toggle on/off doesnt work and it did when I was on stock froyo-rooted?!? Is that a ROM issue or app issue??!

Thanks guys...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snake212:
Glad I can help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
sounds to me like even though you thought you disabled voodoo it was still enabled on one of the partitions which would be what caused you to go into an endless bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sinichi21:
Thanks everyone got my booting this ROM so awsome no issue so far. I just want to know is there an app we can use to UV and OC this kernel? My battery drains quick other than that its really an awsome rom no regrets of flashing this as my first custom rom :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] snake212:
download battery calibration by neMa and then charge your phone, when it reaches 100% unplug it and open the app and calibrate the battery right away.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
I just flashed this. First GB ROM I use. I choose it over kh2 cause it was themed. 2 things im having problems with is the market whiCh disappered. I read in another Posten that factory Reset And wipe should fix IT. But i dont understand how to get into recovery on GB? Any help?

Do those tweaks you made flashable apply to this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elry567:
Flash the kg4 kernel that will give u recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
How do I flash If I have no recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
Seriously guys? It has the kg4 kernel and recovery is the same as froyo
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Thats what I thought but I could get into recovery with the 3 button salute or whatever they Call it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Gnutian:
Wondering if on the final build, will there be a "n00bs" guide how to directly install ICBINB GB from ICBINB Froyo?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Search for my youtube video How to flash Gb from Froyo vid
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mykalus:
my experience w/ this...

hey guys... just wanted to tell you about my experience with flashing this ROM... I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what could have caused this particular issue...

So, I made a Titanium Backup of all of my apps and data... made a CWM backup of the ROM I was on (ICBINB KH1)... turned off voodoo... full wipe... cache wipe... flashed this ROM... signed in, added Voodoo app and Busybox... went back to CWM, re-installed voodoo... everything was fine... until I noticed that I was missing the Market, which I've experienced before, so...

I did another factory reset since that has always fixed the Market missing issue in the past... well, upon rebooting, the Setup Wizard crashed and would not allow me to finish... i was left with a blank screen and none of the buttons on the phone would respond... weird...

I tried another wipe, fix permissions and same thing...

I disabled voodoo again, re-flashed the ROM and had it crash upon reboot again...

wiped again... reflashed the ROM again... got through the set-up, re-installed voodoo... market stayed... running smooth now...

any thoughts on the crash of the Setup Wizard? Loving this ROM folks!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
You didnt make sure voodoo was disabled

No need for that now though

Flash the GB ROM

Flash FBI's busybox installer

Enable voodoo reboot

Winning
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Yes I cant full restore due to system cant unmount issue. So your not alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
Still getting not enough space from linda, with a brand new 16 gb card and a rollback to ICBINB to convert back to RFS. Followed all directions to a tee. Something's still not right here. Got Voodoo working again with my 2 gb card though. (Though now, after putting my 16 gb card back in, linda constantly attempts to convert with a "not enough space" error, but the Voodoo app shows that it's enabled after it finishes booting) So what gives?

EDIT: Also having the disappearing apps issue with this build. Presumed it had been fixed with some magic, but I guess I need to do a full wipe after installing this ROM and before booting it to address that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ke4peo:
Well, spoke too soon. It kinda worked. Linda converts all the partitions to ext4, but when I remove and resize the SD card partition......she keeps trying to reconvert it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
Ok i am kind of confused. Ur saying to flash original icbinb then disable voodoo? After that flash gb version of icbinb? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
If your apps are disappearing its because you haven got rfs on all partitions like you are suppose to, flash to icbinb froyo disable ext4 then go to gb qnd ensable ext4

Sent from a phone that nobody knows about yet its one of the best.... Atleast now it is :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
That's exactly what I did. Unfortunately it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
Also, are you still recommending Busybox 1.17.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mr Nosrok:
Did you come from ICBINB froyo, did you install busy box, what boot loaders are you running?

I've restarted several times and pushed the ext4 tweak posted not long ago. Phone feels faster then my laptop.

Have you done the usual, Wipe Wipe Wipe Fix Permission dance. I always wipe data,factory first then cache, then D cache then reboot recovery then fix. Don't know if it matters what order it's done.

danstheman7 posted a great template to follow if your in need of help:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Could i just restore data? Im really just gonna try this out until tomorrow and im gonna go back to a froyo rom to wait for cm7
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Yes advanced restore data does work. Just tried it a little bit ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Sweet
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
Again, everything worked perfectly with a 2 gb card. Just tried it again, no problems. No dice with a 16 gb card. The 16 gb was brand new so there was definitely no ext4 partition on it. And I had converted back to RFS with ICBINB Froyo prior to all of this. So something's not right here. Not trying to bust balls, believe me. It's just that I don't think you've found the true solution to the problem yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kennyp987:
Dont think anyone has
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
the only other thing i can think of is you need to create a 1 to 2 gig partition on your sdcard

i have a 16 gig memory card

and i have repeatedly gotten myself out of the same situation ALL of you are in with the steps that i have used
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
can u add twlauncher back :( im sorry i love that launcher <3
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mr Nosrok:
It worked for me. Flashed icbinb then flashed icbinb gb made sure vodoo was off started phone. Let it sit for 10 - 15 mins (drive home from work) then installed busy box 1.17.1 to xbin, checked to make sure my my partitions were on rfs with the vodoo app then booted into recovery, first time linda told me not enough space, then i re-sized my partition with minitool partition wizard home edition and finally went into CWM enabled lagfix and smooth buttery goodness is all i have now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Is the theme going to be like the other theme sweet acid?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] l0lz0rss:
reload ui?

I was running ICBINB froyo stock, disabled voodoo and flashed ICBINB GB. Everything booted up fine but when I got to the market to try and download busybox, my phone just somehow turns off then on, reboots the ui, the phone signal stays "searching" while the media scanner runs and then once it finishes the scan, the screen turns black again and the cycle continues and I can't do anything. I tried downloading other apps to see if it was only busybox but I still get this ui reboot cycle. I reflashed the GB rom and it still does it. Anyway to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thcnme956:
yo dsexton, i got the disable voodoo, but do we leave system lagfix (lagfix conversion) enabled or disabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
Yo dsexton is cool to flash this gb rom over any of your team acid roms?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mr Nosrok:
Are you on GB loaders? Which busy box installer are you using? When you disabled vodoo did you let the rom boot up or did you flash right away? I again have experienced the "logging off cycle" it boots fine then does the scanning thing then restarts. My solution:

- odin kg4 leak

- then odin kernel kg4+cwm+vodoo just to have cwm. I did this only to get GB boot loaders and CWM, once i had cwm i mounted my sd in cwm (since it was not recognized after kernal flash) This can be done in the mount and storage menu option

- loaded ICBINB kd1 base and flashed.

- allowed phone to boot up normally

- then went back into recovery, disabled vodoo

- booted phone up again

- Checked with vodoo app to ensure all my partitions were rfs and not ext4.

- booted in recovery

- again mounted sd through CWM

- loaded ICBINB GB

- Flashed

- reboot recovery Wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe D cache

- reboot recovery (did nothing just like rebooting, peace of mind if you will)

- reboot phone, it loaded and i let it sit for the usual 10 mins

- checked to see if sd card was recognized, this was to make sure everything was still on track

- sd card was good then installed busy box installer, i used stericson's, installed busy box 1.17.1 to /system/xbin

- rebooted in recovery

- enabled vodoo (it told me not enough space on sd card)

- installed minitool partition home edition on my comp, and resized my sd card to 2045

- i was in recovery when i resized, unmounted sd card

- ensure the vodoo is enabled for next boot

- reboot phone

- Linda finally played nice and converted my partitions

- booted up, used minitool again to resize sd card back to original size

- rebooted

- let load then rebooted into recovery, Wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe d cache

- reboot recovery

- fix permissions

- reboot phone

- Smooth buttery goodness

- push ext4 script

- watch in amazement as phone works faster then i can think.

This May look complicated but it is actually very simple. I just enjoy being specific with my methodology.

DISCLAIMER: This worked for me, due to tolerances allowed in the manufacturing process each and every phone is unique (like you mommy used say you were). Once working this rom is AWESOME and i have enjoyed the entire flashing process. That's why i bought an android based phone instead of an IOS(whatever).

Dev's make this phone worth more then just the money i paid.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] l0lz0rss:
Thank you for your reply. To answer your question, I wasn't on any GB bootloaders. Here's specifically what I did:

-I was on ICBINB stock.

-I disabled voodoo through voodoo app and to make sure, I booted into recovery to check and disable again even though it said it was disabled next boot.

-I boot up phone and Linda takes forever to do her thing.

-Went back to recovery, checked mounts: unmount, mount, mount, unmount, wiped system, wiped Dalvik, wiped cache (I did this only because many roms required this before flashing so I thought sure, why not?) Then I flashed ICBINB GB zip.

-ICBINB GB booted and I went to market and downloaded the "BusyBox Installer." Not sure exactly what version it was. Once it finished downloading and started installing, that's when the boot loop started happening. I couldn't last more than 20 seconds after each boot loop before it cycled so I went back to recovery and reflashed the rom again.

-It booted and then I tried installing the "BusyBox" by Steven something and same thing happened as before. Then I gave up and ODIN'd to KD1

I'll try your method and let you know how it works. Thanks again!

EDIT: Everything is working up until the SD card bug. At least I'm not getting boot loops. I'm gonna work on partitioning it again and stuff. How did you partition using mini tool while the phone is in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] CozzaFrenzyy:
What steps do i need to perform to load this whole shabang if i am coming from the original ICINB froyo?

And again big thanks to TEAM ACID!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
Ok tried to repartition card thru cwm because somehow couldnt get arrows to move with minitool. Linda at least talks this time but says sd card not enuf space. Ugh. I give up til tomoro.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Htapia1984:
I followed these steps and somehow I managed to get the different color screen t cwm wont come back on.. any suggestions :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
Is it blue with only 4 options? Thats because (i think) voodoo is disabled. I had same issue yesterday. Orange cwm is regular (pre-voodoo). U can try downloading voodoo cobtrol and enable lagfix as they suggested.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Htapia1984:
I have the orange...sorry should of been more clear I meant it keeps rebooting and gives me a rainbow screen basically and reboots again non stop... bricked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
You need to odin the kg4 with bootloaders, you aren't bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Htapia1984:
I appreciate your help but how can I do that if it keeps turning on and off and wont go into cwm just keeps flashing the galaxy s screen and then 2 different rainbow screens :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cnote74:
Make sure odin is on and you've downloaded the drivers for the phone. Download kg4 with bootloaders.

Plug usb cable into computer, power phone off, hold both volume buttons down, plug usb cable into phone to enter download mode. Odin will show a com setting, press start and odin will flash your phone with bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ke4peo:
I came from a fresh Odin of KC1, RFS only file system. Disabled Voodoo. Mounts prior to flashing ICBINB GB were UMMU. Flashed ICBINB GB, ensured Voodoo disabled. Installed Busybox 1.17.1 and Voodoo control. Enabled lagfix on all and system. Rebooted. Linda converted them all, but the moment I reformat my SD card back to 16GB from 2GB, it keeps wanting to reconvert system and tells me not enough space available.

Previous ROM: Y - Whitehawkx's KC1 w/Voodoo CWM

Flashed the leaked KG4: Y

Read the FAQ: Y

Formatted SDCARD: Y

Issue experienced: Linda wants to keep converting system partition after going from 2GB SD card to 16GB.

Mounts Flashed with: UMMU

Version Flashed: ICBINB GB v1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
Ahhh! Ok ive been in same situation. Rainbow = no gb bootloaders. So u can flash (odin) kg4 rom or u can follow dsextons directions. If u dont get rainbow screen is usually sign you have gb bootloaders. If u odin to kd1 then onward to leaked gb rom then to this.

As for the vibrating fc u need to pull battery put back in press vol keys and plug your usb to ur pc and start flashing thru odin.

And yes busybox 1.7 makes a big difference with gb voodoo. Make sure you pick that one.

Ive mixed and matched some directions & tidbits from other members to help my progress. This rom at least shows my sd card info & i can hear Linda but it wont convert. So im restarting in the am.

Good luck! We all learn thru trial and lots of errors. Lol!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] makavelicruz:
so the gb bootloaders are definitely needed in order to flash dsexton gb rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
Unless he has bootloaders in rom then yea u need the leak imho. When i flashed the first gb w/o bootloaders i had rainbow. No biggie. This time around no rainbow it just boots up to the gb galaxy screen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
This ROM does not have bootloaders, as it's a Whitehawkx base. Get the GB bootloaders by Odin'ing the KG4 or KG6 leak. Just to clear it up. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peterpandesal06:
how could i flash this for my phone? im on KD1 asmy ROM. thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] badboy68:
ODIN buddy
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
If system won't unmount. First disable voodoo. Flash the kg4 or kg6 factoryfs through heimdall. Then go back to voodoo and test all your partitions by mounting and unmounting them. Then flash the rom and then all good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mr Nosrok:
After you flash KC1 did you let it boot up and check to see if everything was rfs? If you did try converting everything to ext then back to rfs then try flashing this rom again.

And your using the re-size option or are you doing a full format on your sd card?

Wipe Wipe Wipe it's your friend, and fix permission thats your friend too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Part Four:
Your avatar is incredible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mistasyn:
So after I installed this ROM, it turned on I installed busybox, rebooted CWM enabled lagfix, rebooted and all of my programs I installed were gone. So I tried to clear the davlik cache and cache, fix permissions and nothing. I heard that you had to do a factory wipe, which I did. Now my CMW is gone...how do I get it back?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] l0lz0rss:
Thanks man I appreciate that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] peterpandesal06:
Is it ok if I directly flash it using Odin even if I'm on KD1? And how? Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
actually, that is because that your voodoo must have been enabled although nothing was being converted. Go to recovery disable voodoo and try again. Install Busybox. Re activate voodoo all good!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eclipse245:
This whole Voodoo business is confusing.

I'm running 2.3.4 right now, do I have to deal with Voodoo?

Only reason I'm looking to flash a new firmware/rom is so that I can get the gps to work again. LBSTestMode or AngryGPS doesn't exist on the 2.3.4 I'm on right now!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
GPS works just fine for me
