Me too. Does anyone know if we have to use blue CWM? I'd really prefer to be able to restore.

Sent from my pocket-sized, Linux-based computer using electromagnetic radiation... and Tapatalk.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
I'm on the latest cwm and my backup and restore are working fine
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Don_Kronic:
Has anybody got a version of CWM that will work on the sgs4g? I accidentally flashed the galaxy s CWM from rom manager before finding this forum. Nothing has changed on the phone, except if i boot into CWM recovery i always get verification errors.

Also, are there any ROMs for the sgs4g that is running 2.3.6?

Thanks to anybody who can help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Get rid of ROM Manager. I've read it doesn't work well on this phone. Check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1380331 for a 2.3.6 ROM with the latest CWM/root/voodoo lagfix.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
You should try this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1422824

When it is time to choose a package pick the one that includes the beta 2d kernel from the Kj6 collection. Learning the one click method will also give you every thing you need should you make a mistake and need to recover from a soft brick ;)

That is a link to a cwm flashable kernel.

Without cwm he will have no luck installing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
It's Heimdall installable, too, which is how I did it. I'm trying to leverage Heimdall more these days in an attempt to learn it better.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ShadyAce80:
This may just be a noob question and I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm running 2.3.6 as well and want to flash Valhalla Final onto my device. The instructions say you must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery. Do I need to use Heimdall and load a kernel with clockwork recovery or is there another way to get the CWM? I am still learning the basics of all this stuff. Forgive my ignorance.

Since you're already on GB (2.3.6) you can do this, if you're not rooted follow:

Thanks to everyone for their insight. My sgs4g is no more now. Luckily, I learned a lot about flashing with it before it died. Including unbricking. Still haven't gotten heimdall to work.

hi

i have stock rom 2.3.6 and i want to flashed roms from here with cwm ? what is the right way to do that safe :confused:

plz help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Hi Joseph. In my opinion, the easiest way is to flash bhndven's Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix. That way you have a KJ6-based kernel, the latest CWM, root, & voodoo lagfix.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joseph.90:
i can`t understand this :confused:

what this is ?

i am new for this plz simplest this for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
Read every stickied thread in this and the development forum, it will explain the process to you in the most detail possible. If reading these is too much, then you'll be better off with an iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Reading is defniitely key. If the subtly modified kernel is too difficult, though, maybe you should try a ROM from the The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection. The last one in the list, SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders, will give you cwm, root, and voodoo lagfix.

It is simple to install & only requires Java. Just follow the instructions on the post.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joseph.90:
ok if i flash this kernal with odin then i found something called voodoo what is this ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Caligula36:
Keep reading. In fact, forget about flashing anything on the phone today and spend the rest of the day reading.

You found the post I wrote about how to recover soft-bricks through Flashtool but you didn't find the W8 Stock ROM post on XDA? ;)

Well, here it is ...

[ROM] Xperia™ W8 Stock ROM [17/05/2011]

Courtesy of Haka

Direct Link to the W8 Original Stock ROM Download (2.1.1.A.0.46)

The RAR seems to be a xRecovery backup. So simply extract the file and copy it onto your SD card under /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/W8.Bld46.17.05.2011

If you want it as a Flashtool FTF for future recovery purposes I'm afraid you have to create it yourself. Simply restore the backup through xRecovery and once that's done don't boot the device but connect it in Flash Mode to Flashtool and create a backup of the ROM. Feel free create a ZIP and put it up on Multiupload, or whatever File Hosting site, to share it with other W8 users (you know, a FTF would enable easy "soft brick" recovery through Flashtool in case none of the recoveries work anymore).

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
If you used my 1.2 base it has init.d support. I just didn't advertise it because I wanted to get some scripts done.. I did notice that for them to run the permissions have to be changed for the script file. It wasn't running until I gave all execute permissions as well. If you are trying to use the script to disable the radio at boot via init.d it won't won't so I was informed. Because init.d happens before the radio stuff so you disable it with a script and then the system reenables it when it gets to the radio configuration stuff. Best way to test init.d is make a script that just echos something "echo "******** my init.d test*****" then at boot just do a location to a file and look for that text. Adb shell logcat > logcat.txt

Attached is a copy of my logcat showing a line written to test init.d which was run on the 1.2 kernel and system

you'll notice "*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************GRAFFIXNYC INIT D TEST**********************************************************************************************************************************************"

[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
So LTE is replacing Wimax?
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
unfortunately
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
How is that unfortunate?

LTE is faster and they won't kill WiMax for a while so you have plenty of time for you upgrade to an LTE device.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Awesome. I thought they were going to force me to upgrade again. I'd be like, ''Damn, I just got this!'' :D
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
I agree that LTE is faster than Wimax but i also know that the Wimax network never got to see a full well established deployment.

Wimax could of been much better than what it is, but I just think it came in to late (like everything in this country regarding cell phone technology does) and not enought time and money was put in to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
because of this

wimax is a better technology, however, only sprint has wimax and has it on a bad frequency, if wimax was on a lower frequency you would see much better signal and penetration. Because verizon and at&t have better backbone they can provide faster speeds to their towers and so they gave LTE a better name in the consumer market, it has nothing to do with the technology but unfortunately sprint has to get the consumers to buy into their service and when the consumer see's that LTE gets better speeds (regardless of why) then sprint has to sell the consumer LTE to stay with the pack.

Wimax can offer faster speeds and more connections per tower but it is limited by sprint and the terrible speeds that sprint offers the towers. Do Not expect to get great speeds with sprint LTE as it will be just as slow as the wimax when the number of lte phones gets to be as high as the wimax phones on the sprint network.

Wimax had great speeds before the Evo 4g was released, just as you see the screen shots of sprint's LTE speeds. also dont forget that verizon lte had great speeds when it first came out but their speeds are similar to sprint's wimax now.

tl;dr wimax>LTE, sprint sucks right now, beer is good
[HTC EVO 3D] Sim-X:
Sprint did give wimax a bad name cause it's sucks big time. I'm in a "well covered" 4G area and good luck driving down the road keeping a signal. It's total crap & is completely worthless. Who cares if LTE is faster, wimax speeds would be totally fine if it could actually stay connected. What good is it if your phone can never stay connected to it. I'm hoping once Sprint lights up LTE I can actually stay connected to it without it cutting in and out all the time interrupting my music with buffering.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
OMG LTE is NOT Faster than WiMax. Verizon's current LTE is faster than Sprint/Clear's WiMax but that does NOT in any way mean LTE is faster than WiMax b/c that is far from the truth.

speed depends on a ton of other things not just the general tech behind the protocol.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
My friends LTE device did 26k in SC in a non metropolatin zone. I was like.. **** ME
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
Technically, WiMax is the 'faster' technology. Realistically, though, not so much.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
26kb or 26mb?

if the first, there is something wrong. if the second then he must be in a very low saturation area. I've seen tests up to 40 something mb/s with Verizon lte before the thunderbolt came out.

I've also seen 20 something mb with Wimax done in a populated area ie Houston by a photon. it depends on how many are connected and utilizing the bandwidth.

if be blown away if i saw more than 10 on mine

[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
That tells me that youre not in fastboot on your device. I can dupe the same message with my phone disconnected from the pc, then I plug it in in fastboot, and all is good.

Please reinstall the drivers needed but it sounds like youre good. On occasion, I wont be able to flash some things or a file cant load. A reboot of the pc fixes those rare cases for me. Also, refreshing the folders where the files are located.

I also had issues using fastboot, flashing things to the evo because I had my nexus connected for a tether.

If I could do it for you, I would. Hopefully I can help.
[HTC EVO 3D] navenine:
this just got even worse, I uninstalled the drivers, and now I can't reinstall them. I can't find them. My computer wont recognize my phone at all. I've tried to goto the device manager and find them online automatically, and I've tried the google USB drivers from the extra folder from the SDK Manager...

if you can point me toward the USB drivers that'd be great, but regardless, what your saying is I need to connect my phone while its in the bootloader? not once its booted? or are you saying I need to boot my phone through the bootloader selecting "fastboot" first?

thanks again

[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17083782&postcount=1

Theyre all in there. Youll need those files to root but you should already have the htc sync drivers installed, plus the android usb drivers. You can remove htc sync after installation but keep the drivers.

Boot into hboot and connect it, it may recognize the hardware. Then select fastboot. Fastboot is 'hot swappable' we'll call it, so you can be in fastboot and disconnect and reconnect your usb cable and youll see when its connected-- itll read 'fastboot usb'.

try here

[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
Where were you going wrong? And what'd you do to correct it? So everyone knows, in case they encounter the same issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] navenine:
Good Idea:

Problem 1)

The RUU wouldn't run

I had this problem because I had already unlocked the the bootloader

I had to re-lock it in order to fix it

Problem 2)

Then The Recovery.img would push through because I forgot to re-unlock the phone

what I did that made it easier:

I wrote a little batch file to run the scripts - a batch file is a command prompt command list set. you open a notepad, type in the the command lists and save it with a .bat file extension...

so I would install all the files and then make a batch file with the following:

cd C:\android

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/

adb push su-2.3.6.3.zip /sdcard/

adb reboot bootloader

pause

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

change the C:\andriod to whatever your directory set was

and when the batch program runs

anyway good luck to anyone who ends up here, and thanks again tailsthecat3 for the great help
