Interesting, good to know! I will retest with sbl2 again.

In the future, I would rather that you mirror that file that I have. As to not have different version of the same file on the web to support.

(EDIT: I mean, if you make a crontab to always pull the version I post, then I just tell people to get the latest version. Then I don't care where they get it.)

:) That's how I repackaged with the sourceforge links and other updated metadata. Except I just used the gnome-archive tool in nautilus. Just right-click on the jar and click "Extract All".
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I retested with the SBL2, and didn't have any problems.

I must of had some bad combination loaded before, and thought it was the sbl2.

@AdamOutler, thanks for the advice!

Op updated with new link to the jar file. The rar without the sbl2 is still available, but will move to the 'old' folder soon.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lvnlegendinc:
I flashed my SGS4G a few weeks back with ur first release... is it wise to reflash again with the new updates u have :

Download Fully Back-To-Stock UVKJ6

Download KJ1 Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

Download SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

and if so what would be the way to go?

Id like to root and whippe out all the bloatware also.

*Also I seem to have an annoying lock screen pattern replace my actual lock screen wallpaper.... do u know why?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
The only thing that changed was the kernel in my kj6 one-click. You can flash the ROM with this tool without flashing bootloaders.

As for the lockscreen... I have no clue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lvnlegendinc:
If I were to re-install everything and install ur one click.... which of the 3 would recommend... I have no clue what a bootloader does or affects...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Try my kj6. From that cwm whatever ROM you want after a full wipe of everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lvnlegendinc:
Which one?

a -Download Fully Back-To-Stock UVKJ6

b -Download KJ1 Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

c- Download SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders

Having the hardest time getting things to work, I feel like I'm gonna be stuck with stock forever.. it boots up any everything, just gives me weird glitches on startup and recovery doesn't work for me at all on ANY of the Heimdall installs. Please help :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Check under the battery to make sure you have an SGH-T959V.

If so, make sure you try backing up and wiping your sdcard.

After that get the oneclick from the first post in this thread to go all the way back to stock.

Once you flash the first time, a checkbox will become available that says "flash bootloaders".

Check that box, put your phone into download mode again, and flash again.

After that get AntonX's oneclick from the second post and flash that once to get just the kernel & recovery.

You should be good to go from there. If you are still having problems, search this thread. We've (the community and myself) solved every problem imaginable here and in the Q&A forum.

This worked awesomely was trying to upgrade from froyo and used this and instant upgrade to 2.3.6 I used the •stock_kj6_+_root-one-click.jar

and worked wonderfully but I notice that it says root one click so is my galaxy rooted ?

tho its giving me wifi error >_<
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I'll have an updated oneclick with wifi fixed soon. The recovery is rooted. So you can flash any rom from it's recovery.

The initramfs does not automatically root the rom. Some people want to manage root manually, others just use that oneclick to just flash other roms from it's recovery.

My son was messing around trying to install a CM10 rom (he already had CM9 working but I guess it wasn't good enough :eek:)

His phone is the T959W (Wind Mobile version). Now it is stuck on CWM recovery Mode after reboots. We've tried reflashing CM9 thru CWM and everything looks like its going well but then it just reboots into Recovery mode.I was about to try the one-click method (but not flashing bootloaders) and put it back to Stock albeit on the T959V version, but I thought I better ask for advice first.By the way we've never used Heimdall, just Odin, if that matters.

thanks for any help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Pretty sure you'll be fine as long as you don't flash bootloaders. I think there's a nearly back to stock thread around here somewhere for the t959w too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AjvarXX:
OK people, here is my sad story and I ask you for advice.

I was on Android 4.2 (CM 10.1) and then I decided to recover from nandroid backup... which I made being on a different android version (accidentally but who cares now). That android system was 2.3 with Basic with Twist Kernel so it was partitioned in ext4 file system.

After that I was able to go to CWM (version 5) but cache, data and other partitions were impossible to wipe or format or anything. And I saw only boot animation but nothing else.

Since then I flashed stock firmware using Odin but that only changed recovery to stock e3. Anytime I try to boot it just shows boot animation and that's it. When I try to wipe data it says E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10

What should I do? Should I launch Heimdal and try that code which formats data? Or what? How can I fix bad partitioning?

Thank you in advance.

P.S. In addition I want to assure that it is my personal phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Backup your sdcard and format it.

Copy your images you want to flash via cwm to the sdcard

Reboot to download mode.

Flash first time with oneclick.

Reboot to download mode after the phone reboots itself twice.

Flash the second time with oneclick with 'flash bootloaders' checked.

Enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AjvarXX:
It really booted! After flashing it was like the same way stuck at the boot animation but I waited, waited and it vibrated once with LED buttons on and turned on!

Now I have 2 questions if you are so kind.

By writing: put images on the sdcard did you mean firmwares? Because first time I flashed without bootloaders and rebooted to recovery while trying to go to download mode I saw typical recovery but not CWM so I could fash firmwares.

And 2: can you tell why have I just flashed with bootloaders checked? what does it give?

Thank you. Another guy saved by this miracle program.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Always! :)

So you flashed the totally stock image. That does not come with CWM.

All of the oneclicks in the second post come with CWM. So put a cwm zip file on the root of your sdcard, flash the oneclick, reboot to recovery, flash the cwm zip for the rom you want to install. Enjoy.

When you go from BML to MTD, something in the paramlfs changes. The paramlfs is considered 'a bootloader partition' and only gets flashed if bootloaders are checked. So if you want to go back to BML, you have to flash bootloaders.

I recommend flashing bootloaders, because it won't hurt your phone (unless you do not have a SGH-T959V!). Also it puts your phone in a "Known Good/Tested" configuration that all of us developers depend on to be able to flash roms consistently.

I use heimdall and the oneclick all the time. It's only unsafe if you flash the wrong device (not SGH-T959V).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AjvarXX:
Yeap, I flashed Basic with a twist Java and don't need any other firmware cause it already fits my needs. I also recovered Nandroid backup and all is the same as before switching to CM10.1 and here it stays for some time.

As about bootloaders I thought the same - safe note is good note so thanks again for sitting around with me:)

Phone cycling thru Android System Recovery

Hi - I tried to root the phone using the following post http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Rooting. Used Custom Kernel Method as the SuperOneClick software was not available.

When my phone rebooted the 2nd time, it would just hang at the Samsung Galaxy S screen. So, i followed the instructions in this thread for returning the phone back to stock.

The Flash happened fine (all 6 sections went to 100%), phone reboot, tried to update data and reboots again, but it would cycle back to Android System Recovery.

On the screen it is displayed :

#Manual Mode# ... Applying Multi-CSC

..

..

Cant access to '/system/csc/TMB/system/'.

I understand from reading the threads to ignore the error message on not being able to access the directory.

How should i proceed from here? I need my phone back to stock please.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

So, here is what i did to restore.... i re-did the Custom Kernel Step for rooting the phone. Ofcourse it is failing again, ie after a Flash, the screen would just get stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S by Tmobile screen.

After this, i went to the download mode and used the the stock jar file and flashed the firmware. Now i dont get the Recovery screen again. Good sign !

So phone is back on 2.3.6 GingerBread stock image. Now back to rooting, which one these should be used? I was using the OC_UV.jar file.

AntonX-Basic_with_a_twist-v1.1.0-OC_UV.jar

AntonX-Basic_with_a_twist-v1.1.0-NO_OC_UV.jar

Would you also be doing the "Flash BootLoaders" with this jar file?

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

So, the non_OU.jar is also not working. When you attempt to Flash BootLoaders it would say. Kernel upload failed. And, then i have to go through the entire process of installing the stock firmware back as i did in the last step. So, does that mean the Root procedure mentioned is not correct ?

Uploading PIT

PIT upload successful

Uploading KERNEL

KERNEL upload failed!

Ending session...

So my question is, which firmware and bootloader should i use to root the phone? This is a Samsung Galaxy S T-mobile T959V
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
If you're going for jb or ics use eollie's stock+root. From that point you can flash any rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] abhijitdaszz:
I also tried this. I was able to just flash with the blastoff ... but when i try flashing the bootloaders, it provides the same error msg.

Uploading PIT

PIT upload successful

Uploading KERNEL

KERNEL upload failed!

Thanks Bunvden ..

I relocated to a diff USB port on my laptop and i was able to flash (along with bootloader flash) eollie's firmware. It showed blastoff_v2. But as indicated, wifi functionality was lost. So, i reflashed it with the Stock firmware listed here, and i got wifi here.

Now, how do i know in Samsung Galaxy S Tmobile SGH-T959V what is my current ROM ? Doesnt display in About Phone or via Rom Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Well, that specific rom is stock, but wifi won't work unless you flash blastoff v2.5 again. I'll fix this tonight hopefully!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
And done. The second post has been updated with the new oneclick.

This fixes wifi and removes the csc update. Enjoy!

(note, after rebooting it does go to recovery, so you can flash after oneclicking)

Hey. I have just recovered a phone and then decided to flash it with bootloaders (just in case to be sure it is how it is). And unfortunately for some reason after uploading PIT Heimdal shew status DISCONNECTED.

And phone is still with Download yellow triangle and show status bar barely started (little blue line).

What to do?:confused:

Thanks.

EDIT: yeap. The phone is dead. I took risk and failed. I have just found that it was USB loose on the device. I guess it disconnected while flashing 2nd time, I had to stop after I recovered it.

Is there any way to recover boot on SGS4? I heared about pressing Down+Power but that doesn't help. LCD doesn't turn on and USB says Unknown device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Your phone is probably not dead. You have to read. This stuff is basic, explained on the wiki and all throughout this thread. Search. Read. Try.

Also, try different usb ports, cables, and of course... computers.

I fought night and day trying to get heimdall working on my epic4g, and finally tried a 4th windows computer and it worked!

Heimdall and odin are very picky pieces of software.

If getting into download mode the classic way doesn't help, get a jig!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AjvarXX:
Thank you for your support. All galaxy S community is in debt to you.

However my phone is dead. I tried to restart flashing without a success when that happened and when I turned it off (had to, completely unresponsive) he never turned on. Pure brick. No sign at all, now light, no sound nothing.

Perhaps jig will help, who knows.
