Thanks, It was my first rom I flashed, almost bricked my phone in the process, so I'm scared to flash again. haha.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
Read what I've quoted and follow . Like reboot a couple of times and such things as that . And this is an sd build correct ? From the link provided that's the impression I got .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Basementnugget:
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm using NAND. I'm using the NAND version of the Dandiest.

Also, I've had this rom for like a month now.

By the way have you tried a factory reset.. if you can back up your apps and data this might solve your problem!!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
So I was trying out gingerbread and I really dislike it. Can somebody pleasr help guide me step by step through this. Because I am a complete noob at this stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Easy 'nuff. Download FB's KD1 one-click ROM.

Make sure the phone is plugged into the PC, put your phone in download mode (check the wiki link in my signature), and double-click the ROM you just downloaded (it's a jar file which is a Java file). If you have Java installed (most people do) then it should "just work."

WARNING: You will lose all of your data, apps, contacts, etc (but not stuff on your sdcard). Make sure you have a backup of things you want to keep (if you're synching your contacts with T-Mobile or Google, you'll get 'em back), then install the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Problem! It booted but now its a black screen! Bricked?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Run the one-click again & make sure that flash bootloaders is checked.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
We have a problem! Still that didnt work. When i boot it it keeps doing the little vibrating.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Are you able to get it back in download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yes, I am.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Ok, that's good. Let's at least get you back where you were :)

Go grab bhundven's Fully Back-To-Stock ROM. It is also a Heimdall one-click but will put you back on stock KJ6 GB.

Quick question - were you on stock KJ6 before? If not, did you have CWM installed and was voodoo enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Honestly have no clue what any of that means. But I still want froyo back if you dont mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ok so were getting closer. It botted. nut the problem is when it first boots its like a whole bunch of clorful lines like a broken.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Bootloader problem.

Read the thread carefully: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498

Step 4: Run "flash" once. Let the phone reboot itself. Don't touch the phone until it boots into android. If it works and you want to flash bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Well i didnt hit flash bootloaders, Should I?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Yes. You need to do step 4. And you WANT to flash bootloaders. Be careful and read it well. You have already taught yourself a lot and are almost there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Thanks alot guy! Boots perfectly! Now I just want to make the messages and application menu look better and I'll be set! Another thing I dont like about the gingerbread is thres something up with the ringing. When it rings it rings low at first then 2 seconds later gets loud -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Yes. You told me this in PM. Just so you know.... you are sti on GB and not Froyo as you mentioned wanting in PM. Give me a second and I'll tell you how to change the ascending ring. I'm on VB so I need to look how to do it on stock.

ADD: Have you looked in: Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone -- and tried changing your ringtone to see if it is still ascending?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yup, didnt work. Froyo ftw!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I was playing with a stock GB phone yesterday... you can change it. I just don't remember how.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ohh. Im defineatly gunna try my hardest to get froyo. I really dislike this GB stuff honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Ok.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
The markets not even updating -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Elaborate....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
You know like how you hsve the new market. Well I still have the old one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Yes. The new market came out after the GB update. So that is normal. From what I understand it will update on it's own eventually.

But... if you prefer to go ahead and update follow this link on your phone -

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22604116&postcount=8

download 'Market_v3.4.4.apk'

Then follow the directions in this post to update the market:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22603095&postcount=1

Before you paste the new market .apk in the system > apps folder - in the same folder either 1) rename 'vending.apk' to 'vending.apk-old' or 2) delete vending.apk. Vending.apk is your current market app.

If you rename 'vending.apk' to 'vending.apk-old' - after you paste the new market app and test it you can go back and delete 'vending.apk-old'.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Lumin,

Thanks for jumping in there and following-up/picking up where I left off when I went off line. I appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Thanks. Are there any other one click froyos I could try?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
That's the only stock one that I am aware of. You might have to search the Dev section to see if there are any others. I was planning on trying it this past weekend as I was going to update a guide but didn't get around to it.

I'm curious why you got the black screen. Like the GB one-click, you should've flashed it once, then flashed it again but the 2nd time with the "flash bootloaders" checked. I may test it tonight after I get off of work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Of course!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Thanks. Markets updated now :)

While you test that froyo may you figure out whats up with the ringtone volume on the Gingerbread? Because it starts low and then gets high. I'm not liking it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I flashed to stock GB today and I use GoSMS Pro and Go Contacts Ex. Along with syncing my contacts with Gmail. I set a custom ringtone for my Groups in Go Contacts (one ringtone for personal and a different for business) .... it gave me the selection to choose a ringer through GoSMS and they were not ascending. I am sure if you tinker with the settings you can change the ascending ringtone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I just wanna use the regular messaging,app, not go messenger.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Point was.... try and I bet you can figure it out. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I am now back on KD1 using the one-click from FB. I did have the same issue as you - a black screen - even after the 2nd flash with "Flash Bootloaders" checked. I rebooted a couple of times to no avail. I booted into standard recovery and cleared user data, cache, and selected reinstall packages. After that, it rebooted and came up into KD1.

Give it a shot again when you have a chance. Let me know how it goes. In the mean time I'm going to get myself back on GB :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
It worked!~ Thanks alot guy! Your the best!;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Sweet, glad you got it working. Have fun :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Is there a way to fix the lag on froyo?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Upgrade to Gingerbread. LOL. Seriously, I think there are some tweaks and mods in the dev section. Getting voodoo lagfix enabled always helps (you have to be rooted & get the modified recovery installed). You'd have to check to see if Adrenaline Shot and the other tweaks work on Froyo. I can't remember off-hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
**delete**
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I like the way froyo looks but I dont like how bad it lags. Nd I dont like the gb layout but the speed is fantastic. Idk, I wanna try some roms aswell but idk how XD
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I've told you several times now (through PM) that the 'LOOK' is the Launcher. That's it. The Launcher. Not Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Froyos tw launcher nd gingerbreads tw launcher look are alot diferent.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It is an updated version of TW Launcher... but really - if you wanted to - you could visually get them to look the same. But I am telling you a few of the other launchers on the market are awesome and beat the hell out of TW. Visually at least - Go Launcher seems to be one of the one's you have a lot of control over visually in every aspect.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ohh, Can I see what your phone screen looks like if you don't mind?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Sure. As I said - I use Go Launcher Ex, use a theme with Go Launcher Ex and prefer dark for battery life. This is my main screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ohh, I dont really like that but the vanilla ice looks pretty nice. Is it fast?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Ther a a TON of themes for Go Launcher and others...

What do you mean fast? The Launcher? If you do then it is very smooth. But I believe that has more to do with the ROM than the Launcher. I looked for Vanilla Ice and only found a old rapper from back in the day ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:

Also Valhalla Black is what I use and LOVE IT! Great ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yea lolololol. But imma noob. I'm goin to try this tomorro. But I still dont understand what a kernel is for. If it is for boosting speed, can I just install that on my froyo stock phone or would I still have to root it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
What is a ROM: Literally it stands for Read Only Memory, in this case referring to the phone's internal memory where your firmware/apps are stored. It is what you see and use when you are on your phone.

What is a Kernel: it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. Said a different way – the kernel helps the ROM talk to the Hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
So what is everyone talking bout like things that make ur phonr faster and make battery life last longer. What would those be called?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Tweaks. Which are great as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22931979&postcount=4
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Do you have to be rooted for tweaks?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You will basically be rooted if you can flash tweaks. To flash tweaks you need CWM. CWM comes with a custom kernel. If you have a custom kernel you are rooted :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
K im doing this now so can you please stay online incase I run into any problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I can... what are you doing first?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I am was using klies to get gb but it says it didnt upgrade corretly and then it said like to emergency upgrade it but that still didnt work. It worked the first time I did it last weekend. Can I just use the 1 click because I'm positive that will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Kies mini will not work if you have rooted or modified your phone in any way away from stock. What are you currently on and yes one-click is great but if you are on Froyo you will need bootloaders for GB and if you are on GB you can just flash once.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
ok so I am on froyo. Can you link me to the Gb I need.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
So you are on Froyo. What do you want to end up on? Let's get this straight before proceeding. Stock GB, custom ROM, tweaks?

Here is your first step:

Read carefully!

Here is Heimdall One-Click:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498

Use the link that says:

'Download SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders'

Make sure you follow step 4 or you will run into trouble. You need the GB bootloaders on your phone or you will boot up with a rainbow screen.

Step 4: "Run "flash" once. Let the phone reboot itself. Don't touch the phone until it boots into android. If it works and you want to flash bootloaders"

Don't skip any steps! Start with check Java and making sure you have the current version.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yes, I am currently on Froyo.I want my phone to be super fast with the Vahilla black and no lag...I hope that answered your question lol. *Feelin like a noob*:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Great... read the post above and get started :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Link you requested was not found...I will just use the one stephen posted earlier? This one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Try it now. Just reread the thread and see you have successfully used Heimdall and know you need bootloaders. When you get all that finished let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Yea so i did it and Idk what happened...Is said kernel upload failed. Now there is a phone sign connected to the computer with a caution sign in the middle...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Hehe... uh oh. Your phone is HARD BRICK and completely unusable. Sorry!

Just kidding :D

That is download mode. I've run into the kernel upload failure thing before on another thread. Let me find that thread and refresh my memory as to why that happened.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Nvm, I figured it out. You almost made my heart literraly fall out of my chest. lol Bro, It talks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Glad you thought that was funny :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I think i failed...I flashed it once, Then twice withe the bootloaders...Linda talked and all both times but now its stuck on the Glaxy s 4g screen.now its in the recovery mode E:Failed to mount/data(Invalid argument) E:Discared_filesystem_for_rfs:cant mount/data. Nvm, I rebooted it and now it wants to work-.- smh lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
And you followed the directions? Try to reboot and see what happens.

Damn man! You are impatient like another thread I was just on :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
K now it won't let me download anything off the market...it is the old market..And I need it to download supermanger :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Hmmm... why are you downloading super manager?

If your goal is the custom ROM then you can wait on super manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Well thats what your tutorial says to do...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21954884 So can i skip that part of baking up the efs?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
No... you don't want to skip that step but we can back it up another way for now.

The market will probably resolve itself. Try rebooting once and see if that helps. You may also see if WiFi Calling is on messing with your connection as that happened yesterday with somebody.

Here is the other way if you can't get market working -

• Reboot into Recovery.

• Look for 'backup and restore' and select it.

• Then select 'backup' and be patient and wait

• When it's finished select 'reboot system now'.

If you can get market working back it up both ways to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
It wont go into recovery mode, it just keeps rebooting lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I think your phone is allergic to you!

Rebooting? Did you let go of the power button? It will keep rebooting if not.

If it still keeps rebooting, pull the battery, wait a sec, put it in and try to boot into the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Lumin,

Again?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ok the themarket is working now. Imma need a market update later. So whats next i cant find the efs folder although i did exactly what your tut says.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
• Open Super Manager on your phone and go into ‘File Manager’.

• Select 'Back up level folder' twice.

• Scroll down and look for your folder called 'efs'.

• Long press the folder and select 'copy'.

• Now look for 'sdcard' and select.

• Now select push the clipboard (or paste).

Make sure you follow those directions to the T so you are in the correct place where the folder is located.

We're making flashing PRO's here on XDA! And this guys handle is Flashster so we need to make sure he can live up to the name... assuming it is a 'he'.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I rooted and eveything sucessfully, Now I am here:

I am on Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6), I have an efs backup and Rooted now what:

• I need a custom kernel to give me CWM5 and Voodoo Lagfix

o I chose to go to market, download and install SGS Kernel Flasher

o Download Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix from the Galaxy S 4G Android Development section to the root of your sdcard.

Do i download that from my computer and put it on the root of my phone through the computer, or directly from my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Oh god! I will help you if you want... but jumping ahead won't work :D That tutorial is not how you are going to do it. You already have CWM and the custom kernel.

You need to do the two back up methods I mentioned. When that is done I will give you directions how to flash the ROM. You can go ahead and start downloading the ROM if you haven't already.

You can also download Quick Boot (Reboot) from the market to make it easier for you to get into Recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Well i did both of them already lol. I did the supermanager one so I can just skip the kernel flasher part?? Yes, I'm a dude.Oh and I copied it to my computer..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You can skip the kernel flasher because you already have the kernel. But not the Nandroid back up for safe measures.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Now I'm just confused..Where do you see nandroid backup at?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Download Quick Boot (Reboot) from the market. It makes it easier to reboot into Recovery.

Then:

• Reboot into Recovery.

• Look for 'backup and restore' and select it.

• Then select 'backup' and be patient and wait

• When it's finished select 'reboot system now'.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Ok its backing up, what step am I on after that because I don't see this in the guide anywhere lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
It's in there:

o Turn off phone. Reboot in to CWM Recovery (your recover will be RED whereas stock recovery is blue). In CWM you navigate up/down using the volume up/down buttoms and select using the power button.

o Look for and select 'backup and restore' and select it.

o Then select 'backup' and be patient and wait wait.

o Doing this will also give you another backup of your efs folder.

o When finished you are back into recovery.

Have you downloaded the ROM yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Nah, I want Vahilla-Black though. Is the kernel i have now the fastest I can get? And I rebooted my phone. Idk if i was supposed to do that or was i supposed to wipe something first?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Download Valhalla - BlackEdition. You are about to flash it. Use Valhalla - BlackEdition for a little while and if you think everything is good. There is a new - though very similar - kernel you can test. However, it is still being developed so you might want to wait. I haven't had problems with the kernel itself but do not think you will notice anything 'faster' about it. That is more the ROM and the tweaks and you will be impressed with Valhalla - BlackEdition.

Here is how to flash:

o Reboot into Recovery

o Scroll down to 'install zip from sdcard' using the volume down button then use the power button to select, then 'choose zip from scard', then go to bottom and find 'Final-Fixed.zip' you copied over, select it, then scroll down and select 'Yes - Final-Fixed.zip'.

o Once you do this the Aroma Installer will load. It should be self explanatory and take care of the rest for you and boot you into the ROM.

After that I would flash [TWEAK] Universal Adrenaline Shotv14-1 cache scroll tweak.

o Download - Universal_Adrenaline_Shot_v14-1.zip

o Now that you will be on Valhalla Black - You can long press the power button and select Recovery to easily reboot into Recovery.... So

o Reboot into Recovery

o Scroll down to 'install zip from sdcard' using the volume down button then use the power button to select, then 'choose zip from scard', then go to bottom and find Universal_Adrenaline_Shot_v14-1.zip you copied over, select it, then scroll down and select 'Yes - Install Universal_Adrenaline_Shot_v14-'.

o White letters will scroll and eventually say 'Install from sdcard complete.'

o When finished select '*****Go Back*****'.

o Then select 'reboot system now'
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Since alot of people use this rom it should be fast right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
The ROM is GREAT! I say use Valhalla - BlackEdition or icbinb 2.3.7_v2. Both will be faster than anything you have used before.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I went to the link. Which one exactly should i get because there are so many lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Which thing? The tweak - reread the thread. I tell you which to download.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
Its pretty decent. But i think i lost my contacts -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
And how do i get a better battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Yes you did. Hopefully you use gmail ti sync your contacts. If not - do from now on. It is the easiest method. If you didn't use gmail you probably used T-Mobile Back Up? If so, we can push that back on your phone so you can restore them.

You also need to let the ROM and tweaks soak in. It is significantly better than stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I do but its not showing up yet..Idk what happened. And the volume is still escalating -.-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You do what? T-Mobile Back Up? We need to put that back on if so. And you just need to select a different ring tone or find different ringtones in the market.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flashster15:
I use gmail to backup my contacts...but there gone..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You need to go to Settings, then Account and Sync and see what is syncing. And if you have more than one GMail account add them.
