I'll tell you what.. I've tried like 5-6 times to get ext4 in GB and nothing ever worked. The phone always would just boot without linda saying a word. I formatted, repartitioned, and ODIN'd KC1 for a fresh start. Still no go.

I followed 2 different guides on this forum and still no ext4.

I was starting your guide, and downloaded all the files and put busybox.zip on my SD. I had just failed again converting ext4 with the new Valhalla rom, and for some reason decided to try installing busybox from cwm instead of the market before I started from scratch again, AND IT WORKED.

booted right up to Linda talking, and converted all partitions and system to ext4 without a hitch. So for me, all I needed was to install busybox via CWM, and that fixed all my problems!

thanks!

Quick question, would it be necessary to do steps: 4(a, b) and 5 if i'm on kd1 which has kc1 bootloaders(i assume that the Kc1 bootloaders are froyo bootloaders) and have never flashed a gb leak, including the one with the jacked up bootloaders?

Yes it's a whole rom but it's meant to be used to prepare your phone to install custom gingerbread roms. This is just the kh2 leak that got released along with the csc file that came with the kc1 rom.

Ok... so the other day i soft bricked my phone with ODIN ( wrong option checked and start ). But i did that after i followed this guide to get GB-Boot / ICBINB GB / ext4 working.

To get it back i had to flash the old rfs converter, from the early days of ext4, between the KD1 and KH2 sections. Had to get the partitions out of ext4 mode somehow, but i got it all working again :)

Flashing the files on this guide would get you back on RFS, no need to format the RFS converter. You could've also tried disabling voodoo lagfix and Linda would've taken care of that for you.

That's what i thought... but it wouldn't. Things would freeze up on trying to flash the new GB rom. That and it wouldn't disable voodoo, would always remain on and try to reconvert to ext4.

After a re partition getting data back will be tough. Use a card reader an start looking at some PC apps that do data recovery. Biggest thing is to stop using the card. The more you Wright to the card the harder data recovery will become. In the future always backup your memory card to the PC. sorry I can't help more.

recuva may help you. same company that makes ccleaner (piriform). and as stated above, stop using the sd card until you recover the data or it will be overwritten

    Okay, I'm tired of seeing people not be able to get on the GB ext4 bandwagon where apps don't disappear. This guide is for you if you want a smooth, surefire way to get on GB.

    NOTES
    * The KC1 and KJ6 files contain bootloaders for the SGH-T959V. By downloading and flashing the files you agree that you will not hold me or anyone in Team Acid responsible if your device gets bricked. There are always risks when flashing custom firmware and ROMs onto your phone.
    * As always, make a full backup of your SD card and phone.

    FEATURES
    * Root
    * CWM + drhonk's custom KJ1 kernel preinstalled.
    * Gets rid of the disappearing apps problem
    * Gets rid of the missing SD card once you're booted into GB
    * Gets rid of your bootloops
    * Get a working GB ROM with ext4 support (includes Official KJ6 with drhonk's custom KJ1 + cwm kernel)
    * All the files you need are included in this post
    * Wipes out all the gremlins you had on your phone by putting the KC1 bootloaders, then the KJ6 bootloaders on your phone.

    PREREQUISITES
    1) Download all the files from the links on this post, and extract both .7z files and Odin v1.85 using 7-zip or a compatible program
    2) Leave the phone's back cover off since you're gonna have to do a few battery pulls and you need access to the sd card
    3) Format your sd card by hooking it up to your computer with an sd adapter or through mass storage mode using your phone and a USB cable.
    FORMATTING ERASES EVERYTHING ON YOUR SD CARD. MAKE SURE YOU BACK IT UP ONTO YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE YOU DO THIS.
    Follow this guide to format your sd card on Windows (this is on XP but the same steps can be taken on Vista or 7).
    This guide is meant for using your sd card on a Wii, but the process is the same to get it working on the phone.
    WATCH THE VIDEO ALL THE WAY TROUGH BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THIS.

    Click on the link above if you wanna watch fullscreen, or you can watch here it here:


    INSTRUCTIONS
    1) After formatting the SD card with the steps above, put your favorite GB ROM, and install_busybox.zip onto the SD card
    - 1a) You can restore any backup of your SD card you made at this point. Make sure you have at least 2GB free on the card though!
    2) Put your phone into download mode
    3) Open Odin on your computer
    4) Load up Odin, and load the KC1 files, DON'T TOUCH ANY OTHER OPTIONS, leave them like they are even if Odin changes them!
    - 4a) PIT: Sgs4g.pit
    - 4b) PDA: pda.tar.md5
    5) Flash and let the phone reboot. Once you see the T-Mo startup screen (the pink one), OR the CWM (red text) screen do a battery pull.
    6) Put your phone back into download mode
    7) Click reset in Odin, now load up the KJ6 files
    - 7a) PDA: pda.tar.md5
    - 7b) CSC: csc.tar.md5
    8) Flash the files and let the phone reboot.
    - 8a) The phone will go into standard recovery (blue and yellow letters, you might hear Linda) and then reboot itself once.
    - 8b) The 2nd time you will see either the CWM red letter screen or the Galaxy S 4G white letters/pink splash screen and if you prefer you can let the phone boot all the way, do a battery pull.
    9) Now unplug the USB cable, put the battery back in, hold vol + and -, then press power. You should boot into CWM (red letters, voodoo).
    10) Go into the voodoo menu > enable lagfix and /system lagfix on
    11) Flash the GB rom you put on your sd card
    12) Flash the busybox_installer.zip
    13) Reboot and hear Linda give her speech.
    14) Welcome to GB with ext4!

    It was all a blur. I followed your steps and all I remember was some cable and talking to the ruler of Asgard then their was a crazy battery pull then back to Asgard and then i had a one way conversation with some fembot named linda and it all ended with me having gingerbread.

    Thanks for the help.

    CHANGELOG
    Nov 24, 2011
    Updated the guide and files for the official KJ6 GB release. Now you get Raver's KJ6 ROM plus drhonk's KJ1 kernel + voodoo.

    Sep 27, 2011
    Changed the formatting and added a youtube video link on how to format your sd card from your computer instead of CWM.

    A quick story: I just bought this phone for my son. He saw that it was rooted and had the red recovery. He sees me flash roms all the time on my Note 2 and the wifes SGS2 Skyrocket and decided he wanted to as well, so he flashed ULTIMATUM ZYLON JB 4.2.2. I know before he flashed he was on KJ6. Well I guess he didn't know about the file systems differences and it messed things up. He tried a restore and that made thing worse. That's when he brought it to me to fix it (this worked perfectly by the way).

    He still wants something JB based, so my question is will this allow him to flash xylon again or are there other steps he needs to take? Thanks in advance.

    I would flash either basic with a twist kernel or blastoff kernel then flash whatever rom he wants.

    Click to collapse

    First we have to make sure your phone is indeed an SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W. Those are the only two models we have roms for in this forum. To check you can lift your battery and see if the model matches either one of those.

    The rom from this thread is fairly outdated, follow lumin's guide which will get you on stock KJ6 again. You can install a custom kernel which will let you flash any ICS/JB rom we have.

    I know that I'm telling you to use a one click, but you can also learn how to use the regular heimdall gui to mix and match the files that will get flashed as you can do with Odin.

    As limeaide recommended, you should flash either of those kernels.

    I'm assuming you meant this rom that you tried flashing?
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2323780

    That should work fine, just make sure you download it again and check the md5 checksum dao has posted in his downloads.

    It might be overkill for you, but yes it'll work as long as you have a properly formatted sd card.

    Just know that this will wipe everything on your phone so look for a CWM gingerbread rom. There's a few good ones right now. I'm using audiophile ftw

    Your going to get a few questions for the people who were on the leaked first version of GB with the jacked bootloaders - So I was thinking you might want to add How to get back to a proper Froyo version like KD1 in your post.... .Kc1 for some reason didnt work for me - and I somewhat know what Im doing...lol....Im just saying tho.... happened to me... :)

    This will actually revert you back to a full KC1 with bootloaders, wiping the GB bootloaders that were bad, then it puts you on the KH2 bootloaders which I haven't had any trouble with and haven't heard anyone complain about. That's why I wrote this guide, this is all working.

    As crackpot and others have mentioned, 2048 might actually work best for you. If you formatted to 1024 and it worked, stick with it, the point is to get a method working for you that works every time.
