Stuck After Boot

Hey guys i know "Help!" threads get annoying (at least in the Fascinate forum they do.) but i could really use some help.
Rooted my friends phone today (root,clockwork,rom manager), and was going to install regular JAC kernal /voodoo w/o color fix.. I made sure the phone had the smaller NAND chip. Installation went fine (phone booted, voice told me it was switching to ext. 4.) and the voice said voodoo was complete. The phone was stuck at the S logo for about an hour and it was then i decided voodoo was botched. From there i rebooted to clockwork and went to restore the nandroid i made when i rooted. The nandroid got stock at one of the Data files for about 30 minutes. (i have a feeling this is around where i messed things up myself) Decided screw it and was going to flash JI6(T959UVJI6) and the stock kernal with ODIN. Now the phone boots past the S logo but the screen stays black and only the backlight menu buttons light up. It wont go past there. Any quick help is appreciated.

You didn't disable the lagfix I'm assuming.
Odin Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick, then Odin JFD, install ROM of you're choosing.
Did you even try to search for a fix before posting???

If you can still boot into clockwork recov. you can save it by pushing the undo voodoo zip file that was mentioned about. Assuming that u have adb access. If not odin froyo that doesnt brick tepartition checked. Turn off. Boot back in download. Odin stock jdf. Ji6 isnt a standalone rom. Its more like a no wipe update. Lucky his vibrant wasnt hardware locked lol. He will have a 90% chance of losing EVERYTHING

Had to odin flash froyo that doesnt brick then jfd and yep he lost all his data but he didnt have much to begin with. Now happily running Fusion. Thanks for the help guys!

[Q] Help! Screen won't wake up from sleep on any 2.2 ROM!

I have tried everything I can think of. Tried different radios, different ROM's, everything! I'm at wits-end! Every time I upgrade from DL09 to ANY 2.2 leak or ROM (and I mean ANY), the install goes smoothly but after the boot the screen sleeps and will not wake. I have duplicated it on every available leak/ROM and none work. Please! Does anyone have any ideas? I want some of that Froyo goodness.

Did you wipe both data and cache from CWM at least twice before installing any Froyo rom?

Are you talking about the first boot after loading the ROM, and the screen is black? The first boot always takes longer, and most of these ROMs don't have a boot animation. Are you letting the phone boot up completely?

Odin to DI01. Root with Adryn's new root instructions. Flash EB01 modem and your ROM of choice. Should fix everything like it did for me.

Yes. I wiped and wiped.

No, not the first boot. It boots completely and works just fine until it sleeps and then the phone wakes but the screen won't.

Ahhhhh. Now there's something I haven't tried. I will give this a shot and post the result. Thank you for your help in advance!

still dead
Ok. I Odin restored DI01 and rebooted. Everything went fine. I then installed the EB01 modem and CWM-all via odin. All good so far. I booted into Red CWR and installed super clean EB01 and rebooted. Again, the screen will NOT wake from sleep! I'm gonna pull my hair out!
HELP!

This might be a pain, but try doing all of that again but this time flashing a stock EB01 rom. Play around with it and make sure there's no issues, then flash a superclean rom.
That's what I did when I had your issue and it was resolved like that.

Reboot Loop

Ok so I had my Fascinate running on the EB01 Kernel and using the stock ROM. I tried Kaos v5 ROM and tested it. Since many things arent working in that version i decided to go back to my stock EB01. When i wiped the data and cache and i restored my nandroid, it was mixed up with Kaos ROM still. So i decided to flash the EB01 kernel again through Odin and now my phone just keeps FORMATING/DELETING DATA. It stuck after the Samsumg logo and wipes data and reboots and keeps doing the same thing.! I dont know what to do i've tried everything i can think of and many things that i have make worked but im out of ideas! someone please help me out to fix this problem. (Hopefully my phone isnt completely gone!)

This is a hell of Development thread man congratulations

yeah man sorry but idk wat to do anymore...

Did you disable voodoo? May have a date with ODIN full. Going back to D101 usually fixes most problems, but, you can try the DL09 package first.

I don't understand why people are so hesistant to use the full odin packages. 99% of the time it will fix your problems and in about 5 min you are back up and running.
DI01
DL09
You could also try this odin package to get you straight up to EB01 though I haven't tried it myself
EB01

I had a similar issue restoring a backup from CM7 alpha, phone just boot looped. The solution for me was to battery pull, go back into recovery, rewipe, and reflash an EB01 rom (i used superclean 2.4). Let it boot up, then reboot recovery and restore your backup.

How about post it in the correct place so people don't get pissed and ignore it?

ODIN back to stock. DI01 usually works for me. Or try one of the EB01 odin packages w/ root and CWM

Be sure to make several Nandroid backups because sometimes one is messed up. (Thanks Jensiz )

THANKS
Yeah i got it to work i just went and flashed DL01 and it worked perfectly thanks guys!

I really screwed up...

EDIT: Ok so I flashed it back to 2.1 stock, i'm gonna try flashing Bionix again, is there something I should do before flashing it? Am I in the wrong version or something? Help!
Ok so here's the situation:
I was running Axura 2.0.3 or something and things were ok, but I wanted to flash to something better, so I downloaded the Bionix Frost 2.2.1 ROM and flashed it. It didn't have any of my contacts or SMS so I went to flash it back to my last backup, which was 12/15/10, and Axura. I go to Clockwork Mod, and run the nandroid backup and now when my phone boots up, it goes through the screens, and freezes on the Galaxy S screen, then everything turns black and when I touch the screen, all the bottom buttons light up, but nothing happens, and the only way to get that to turn off is to pull the battery.
Is there any way I can fix this? I have Odin, but i'm not sure exactly what to do here.

flash a kernel. nandroid does not restores kernel.

First things first, calm down.
This is not hard, but it can seem that way if you freak.
Did you read the guides? Did you download rom manager, flash cwr, go to stock recovery and reinstall packages (twice maybe)?

i really think it's about flashing a kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

So what kernel do I need? I'm back at full 2.1 stock, and I want to get back to my Axura 12/15/10 nandroid, do I need a kernel?

That axura is 2.2 right? So any 2.2 kernels should be fine,
flash nandroid then before rebooting flash kernel.

In the phone information it says my Kernel is 2.6.29? It says firmware version is 2.1update 1.
If I just want to flash to Bionix, do I need to update a kernel or can I just go straight ahead and do that?

yes. you don't need to flash a kernel when you flash bionix.
You only need to flash a kernel when you are restoring a nandroid backup.

Thanks, you helped a lot.
One last question: how do I move my contacts and SMS over? Whenever I flash a new ROM I seem to lose it.

Problem after installing the wrong Voodoo version

My brother and I both have a Vibrant. He broke his so I loaned him mine for a week. While he had mine (which I've upgraded to 2.2), he installed Android 2.1 Voodoo 4 on it. Little to say, after rebooting, the phone wasn't booting past the boot screen.
I've now followed some instructions from the forum, and have reflashed my phone with Eugene's non-bricking ROM through Odin. The phone boots up just fine now. However, I am trying to install ROM Manager on the phone, so I can reflash my recovery ROM (non Voodoo) - and the Android market tells me it can't install the app due to not having enough free space - though I have over 1GB.
I am guessing this is because the internal disk is still setup in the Voodoo file system, and just enough space was repartitioned for the OS to go back on.
Can anyone help me restore my phone?
EDIT: I've also tried flashing a different recovery ROM through ODIN (with repartition), which also wouldn't let me get past the bootup screen.

I'm taking a wild guess here, I seriously don't know, but did you click repartition in Odin? I think that's would work, but like I said, I'm not completely sure.

I didn't repartition for the Eugene rom fix (as per the instruction I read), but did when I tried to load another version ontop of that.

I was in the Voodoo chatroom, and was able to get some help. It sounds like I need to download a stock ROM and then reset my file partition to get rid of the EXT4 partition, and reset it all to the default.
I have Eugene's "non bricking" rom, but I don't think that's what I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what I need and how to do this?

Just search for the stock Odin images and flash back. They should be in a sticky. I would repartition as well.

I am trying to find a stock version I can ODIN flash. Do you know where I can get one?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737

I've gone through ODIN, done a reflash to the stock firmware, and repartitioned the phone as well.
Now, when I boot the phone up, I get the T-Mobile screen and the Galaxy S screen, and then the phone goes black (with no lights on) and doesn't go any further. My phone has been sitting on the desk like this for 20 minutes now.
I am wondering if this is like when moving to Voodoo, it takes a while to change the format to EXT4, is the phone having to go back to the default?

I 1am into the same problem with the old voodoo. What you'll need to do is flash back to stock via odin. Ur apps memory will be real low. Flash an old 2.1 voodoo. Let it do its thing once booted put a disable voodoo file into the folder and reboot. It will be ok after that. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks fatboy, but I can't even flash back to stock. The phone won't boot up.
