*sighs* khmerkid asked where to download build 2, because the link was dead. I provided the link to the sourceforge site, where all the old (which would include the original build 2) files were stored. Someone else, who wasn't the person I was replying to, said that sourceforge didn't have the Aries build. I provided the link to the post with Aries build 2 and said that it worked for me, as in, the link worked and I validated that it downloaded.

No, I haven't magically fixed the SoD issues and kept the goodness to myself. If I did, that would make me a major jerk rather than someone trying to be helpful and answering people's questions with useful links that actually answer the questions they asked.

Hey guys rom is sweet and all but my pc stopped finding my phone so im stuck with cm9 , wont go in download , and wont find my usb to save pics , is there a way to flash back to stock by sdcard , any input would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
You need Google drivers. This is the second time I've had to type this in less than an hour. lol Also DL mode has nothing to do with the drivers. It's about the phone recognizing the data pinouts. Do you get an unknown device error when you plug it into your comp? If not your USB port might be shot. There is no way to flash back to complete stock with this phone using CWM. You can find a CWM flashable in the Dev section for GB. You'll still have a custom recovery though.

Hey guys, my gf's sgs4g was alright until last night. She said she went to sleep with the battery at 40% (she doesn't like to charge overnight) but when she woke up phone was dead. And after that it wouldn't boot. Just stuck at bootanim.

It's not the battery because we can charge it while off, and we tried with another battery, it didn't boot either.

The first things I tried was to wipe cache and dalvik, fix permissions but didn't work. Then I tried removing the SD card, nope. I also tried reflashing rom, same thing. Then I made a cwm backup of the data and wipe /data. It booted normally. So I'm guessing is something corrupt on data. Could that occur? If so, is there a fix? My gf doesn't want to lose her data (text msgs, apps, etc)

I tried restoring only data from cwm backup, but again, stuck at bootanimation. I only let it sit there for like 5-10 minutes then I pull battery to turn it off, because it shouldn't take that long to boot.

I asked my gf if she remembered what did she do the night before that happened, and all she can remember is updating some apps at the play store, including ROM manager. Could that be the reason? She doesn't mess with it at all, she just updates all apps available.

Thanks

Question, I wiped delvik cache, fixed permissions, and factory reset. Now I've lost my drop down, at the top right I have no battery, or signal display. I can't change my wallpaper. When I get calls nothing pops up I have to go to the phone at the bottom.

Any suggestions for fixing the issues?

Did you reflash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Tunderpimp:
Not yet but that's what I was going to do
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
I would suggest just to back up your data. Then wipe system, cache, data, factory reset. Then flash cm9 and gapps and restore your data. I use titanium backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Factory reset formats cache and data so it's redundant to do them all. It won't hurt but not necessary. If you already wiped your data you might as well just reflash like john is suggesting. I just format cache, data, system then flash.

Hey all,

while im not new to rooting/flashing (have done a few kindles and nexus') i have not yet done one on an SGS4G. i've rooted and dl'd the ROM Manager from the app store, onto the stock SGS4G. Then went on to flash cwm recovery 3.2.2.2, using the ROM Manager. Then went to Reboot into Recovery, from the ROM Manager app, but it keeps going to the default bootloader.

Can I flash, from the default samsung recovery? If not, how do I get it to boot to cwm, instead of the default one?

Thanks for your help!

Will I still run into the default bootloader loading instead of whatever recovery i flash, when i reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] greasemonkey240:
Can't find the '2.6.35.7-cyanogenmod-ICS kernel with Hefe Kernel changes' kernel that was used in the OP dev thread for the CM9.1.0 ROM. I'm trying to flash the kernel so I can get CWM working properly.

Otherwise I'll have to use the '-Bhundven's Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix'. Any idea if this will properly work w/ this ROM, I don't want to brick the phone before I do anything to it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Whoa. That would severely screw up your phone. Find the hefe kernel thread by Jeffsf in the dev section.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] greasemonkey240:
good looking out! that's what i figured which is why i didn't want to go forward w/o knowing for sure.

i can still use the SGS Kernel flasher to flash the kernel though right? it seems like a useful way to do it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Only as long as you stick with BML kernels. If you go to ICS or JB, or decide to use CM7, the SGS Kernel flasher won't work anymore because the device ID was changed from galaxys4g to galaxys4gmtd. Though it MIGHT work if you manually change your build.prop, but... eh, why? :D

Just stick with happy working zips and flash using CWM and TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
The kernel flasher won't work for MTD roms. Pretty much anything that isn't stock based. So..no. mostly everything is done through recovery on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] greasemonkey240:
That's my problem, I dl'd the original CM9.1.0 rom from the stickied thread in the development section, which i understand should include the CWM.

But I can't get CWM recovery to boot, it keeps going to the stock recovery (which we all know can't/won't flash).

I hav rooted the phone, placed the entirety of the CM9.1.0 ROM (by Team Acid) onto the SD card. But I can't get to CWM recovery to work. Maybe I haven't installed it yet, since I'm assuming its on that CM9.1.0 flash file. But as it stands, I don't have CWM on the phone and when i manually dl'd an older version, it wouldn't boot to it.

Can/should I find a newer version, throw the file on the sd card, and manually 'install' it, via sideloading like any other app? If so, where do I find the 'app' file, so I can put it on my drive and install through my file manager.

I think my root issue is I can't get CWM onto the phone. If i could get it on and get to it, then everything else should be ok.

Thanks for all your input guys/gals, this has been putting me through much more of a headache than my old kindle jelly bean flashes.

Hey guys,

I tried updating from v8 to v9.1 and I'm guessing this trashed the IMEI but I'm not sure so I just want to check. I have reverted to my nandroid backup, but in both v9.1 and now in v8 again, in Phone Status, mobile network is Unknown, IMEI is Unknown, so not only do I have no data, I have no phone connection at all. I thought messing up the IMEI would only screw up data. Is that wrong? Have I done something worse?

If this is "just" the IMEI then I'm pretty confident on reverting to close to stock (with getochkn's package for T-959W) and then reupgrading to v9.1.

Thanks in advance!

This is a really annoying behavior. I'm going to add this to my list of behaviors to change. If I'm connected with 4g, it should always be connected at 4g. I realize it's probably a power savings thing... but it adds too much noise in the forum and user experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
EDIT: I mean to say, yes. You are correct, kind of. You want to one click using eollies oneclick. Any of the others in this post will do the same. After that you can flash any rom on this (EDIT: SGS4G) forum. But if you are already on this rom...

Well, I'd prefer that people with issues post logs. If you have a problem obtaining logs from the phone, try searching the general and q&a forums or the wiki for 'logcat'. READ EVERYTHING. I know reading sucks, I do it a lot. Boring reference manuals, and specifications. So I think I would expect users to do a little reading, and learn how to provide logs. ;)

Just saying. I can't reproduce everyone's problems, but I can find bugs by reading logs. Help me, help you.

Thank you for the response! I was updating my sister's GS4G to this as we she was having problems with stock. It turns out Clock, Browser Youtube, and Messaging force closes as well. I'm starting to think this was a bad flash. I'll try your method again, if no luck, reflash.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Sure, np! Just to save you time, when you do a factory reset, it does wipe cache and data partitions too. And dalvik lives on data, so no need to wipe any of those. And fixing permissions only happens on those partitions, they are wiped, so no need to do that either.

Just factory reset, and flash cm9 and gapps.

Unless the steps I mentioned before fix the issue. ;)

Calling

I flashed R9 earlier today and even though everything went fine, whenever I make or receive a call, the front speaker doesn't work, even though the microphone does. (It worked with the stock GB I had before I flashed CM9) I flashed R8, didn't work, and I just flashed R9.1 and it doesn't work again. Everything else works perfectly, but I've been searching both threads about this for 2 hours now, and I can't really find an answer. Is it stated somewhere obvious that calling doesn't work and I didn't see it, did I do a bad job searching for this, or did I screw up somewhere in the flashing proccess?

I'm new to flashing custom ROMS, thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ccamfield:
Hi Bhundven,

I recently upgraded my CM9 version to the latest and am also having a problem with Youtube. This was following a painful revert-and-reupgrade process (due to PEBKAC :D) during which I forgot to do a factory reset.

So, I just did a factory reset and reinstall of the 0227 build (though I'm not sure that did anything? The CM9 installation was very fast and had very little output so I'd guess it didn't really need to do anything), and I'm still having this problem. (To be more specific, I rebooted to recovery, factory reset, installed 0227, gapps, and the LB6 modem, then rebooted to CM9.)

The YouTube app will launch and searching works, but it won't play any videos.

Attached is a snippet from the end of my logcat which I believe has the relevant error messages. If you need more, please just let me know. (Full log is ~220k.)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nevkuril:

Getting a log will help deduce the issue, so I'm very grateful someone posted a log. *nudge*

I checked the wiki, if we can't use the SGS Kernel Flasher, how can I flash a Kernel from within CyanogenMod 9.1?

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

Never mind, I figured out how to do it from CWM. Flashing Photon did fix the issue with Youtube.

One other thing, a user indicated that their Camcorder was crashing. Mine was too, flashing Photon fixed that issue as well. I think the kernel in 9.1 might be a bit messed up.

I still have one issue and that is Google Maps is not able to find my location. Anyone having GPS issues? This phone has no active SIM and is WiFi only. Perhaps that is the issue?

Battery changing on reboot is a sign your battery is dying. Plan on getting a new one soon.

Factory reset wipes data(where dalvik cache is located) and cache. There's no need to re-wipe cache or dalvik. Memory has a write limit so all your doing is using more of that.
