I flashed my fascinate back to stock with odin and now when i boot up i just get a ton of force closes and they keep coming up and wont let me continue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
You should have posted this in the General section.
Now, what did you flash to stock from? Were you using voodoo beforehand?
IME, FC hell after an odin restore is due to the PIT file not being used.
Open Odin
Go back into Download Mode on your phone.
Hit the PIT button and select the PIT file you downloaded from the OP of the odin topic.
Hit the PDA button and select the "system" tar you downloaded from teh OP of the odin topic.
Hit Start.
Wait for it to finish (system takes a bit).
Reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section and i was on vodoo and removed it and flashed a differernt rom was most recently on the zinc rom. i also tried to re run odin with pit and still force closeing. thanks for the help so far

Only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is wiping data/cache from both Stock and CWM recovery. You could also try wiping dalvik cache (CWM-advanced) or nuking the contents of dbdata...but that requires either adb or root access and a phone that isn't constantly fc'ing on you.
Have you tried restoring a nandroid backup?
If he was on vodoo then he write have to flash back to a vodoo kernel and then make the disable lagfix folder and reboot. Then revert to stock kernel right?

I think that a good question here would be whether or not you had voodoo installed. Tell us what you are/where running so we can diagnose and help u work through the problem. No worries though, this can be fixed.

ok so orignally flashed vodoo and when it was first put out then i (what i thought was) removed vodoo and flashed the Zinc V2.1.3 Fascinate Rom then i went from that to Blackhole Version 1.2 Rom after i flashed to blackhole and before i did any restore of apps i had 0 internal mem left and couldnt figure out why so i decieded to run odin to put the phone back to 100% stock and now all fc's
I had the same issue today, to gix it I booted to recovery and did "factory reset" it wiped the data and no issues since. I have also changed to the atupid fast kernel instead of voodoo. Hope it helps. I suggest you try it...

Hey guys, new rooter here, hopefully somebody can help me out...
So I was running stock DL18 Eclair, decided to flash Baked Snack 1.6 (babystep.zip).
I rooted, installed Clockwork Recovery, made a backup and everything, as well as backed up with Titanium backup.
I loaded babystep.zip onto my sdcard and flashed using Clockwork. Install was successful, but when I rebooted the phone it hangs on the Samsung loading screen. I tried reflashing, to no avail. I also tried step2.zip, another kernel version of baked snack, no go.
So then I tried reflashing my backup from clockwork recovery. That didn't work either, same problem, just hangs on the Samsung screen.
Does anybody have any advice, or did I brick my phone and now I have to do a factory reset using odin?

How long did you give it on the first boot? Sometimes the first bootup takes a really long time.
Worst case, just do an odin restore with DI18 and then restore with your clockwork backup. Would take like 15 min and you'd be right back to where you were.
How long is really long? I probably gave it a good 5 minutes before restarting.
And I was on my way to doing a factory reset with odin now... where do I insert the .pit into odin? I don't see a pit section
I'm not too familiar with Baked Snack.. is that the kernel file or the rom that you were flashing? Or does it only need the one .zip file?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Baked Snack is a kernel only, it uses the stock Dl18 rom.
Honestly by this point I'm just trying to do a factory restore, cause after re-flashing with my clockwork recovery (which also didn't work) I can't even access my sdcard anymore.
Odin recognizes my phone but I don't see anywhere to insert the .pit file... I'm using Odin Multi Downloader 4.3, is that the right program?
Edit: If somebody felt like helping me over AIM, it would be much appreciated! S/n is anticrombie0909
I dont know what you are using but u should be usind odin3 v1.61 and the pit file goes right above the pda but you dont need the pit file. Just use the tar file and make sure its the approp. Size. Depending on what stock rom you downloaded it should at least be 255mb. And insert the rom in pda section and make sure only reboot is the only thing checked.

Can someone please link me to that version of odin? And why don't I need the .pit file? Finally, do I need to reflash the entire ROM, or only the kernel?
Odin MultiDownloader is an older tool than Odin3 that really isn't meant to be used with our phones. Use Odin3 1.61.
And you should be able to get by without a pit as long as your partitions are still properly partitioned.
Ok, so I managed to do a factory restore using odin, back to stock.
I tried reflashing baked snack again, but it looks like it's hanging on the Samsung screen again... here's exactly what I did, step by step.
1. Wiped my phone, clean Dl18 stock install.
2. Installed Rom Manager, flashed clockworkmod install. Loaded babysteps.zip (the kernel file) onto sdcard.
3. Ran clockwork manager, picked "select file from sdcard," flashed the kernel, which was successful.
4. Went back to clockwork manager's main menu, selected "reboot phone."
Once again, it's hanging on the Samsung loading screen. I've let it sit for about ten minutes now, no change. What am I doing wrong?
You're flashing babysteps, which doesn't work with all phones. Do something a little more mild. Also there is a rom, you know, and the kernel runs better with his custom rom.

So should I try something like worksforall.zip? Or should I just go ahead and install the whole bakedsnack1.6 rom + kernel combo? And if I do the latter, is it the same process (load onto sdcard, go to clockworkmod, install and reboot)?
be careful with it. I did works for all and then rebooted to do step 2 and mine hung samsungmobile.com screen. It took me about a week to fix it as i was having checksum errors, odin screwups, driver issues, clockwork problems, boot problems. Any problem that could happen happened to me. Im currently fixed and restoring my nandroid after using odin, im probably gonna wait for a better build and i suggest you do the same, but it would be probably easier for you to fix yours than me to fix mine
So I ended up installing the entire Baked Snack 1.6 kernel + rom, which seems to be working great now. Thanks for your help everyone, this thread can be deleted.
My samsung fascinate has VooDoo on it. I did not put it there, I am not comfortable with ADB shell and the commands that go with it. Its a D101 that HAS to run at 800Mhz with Voodoo (Not the 1.2 the specific voodoo is) at 1.2 nothing runs and constantly redraws the homescreen.
I tried the automatic uninstaller, and the red recovery stays to haunt. I've tried other kernels while disabling Voodoo.
My phone was running fine up until recently where it would have random reboots and have trouble booting back up.
I came across flashing back to stock with ODIN. the system file went over fine, and I even did the stock kernel and (PIT)
i Just flashed them all through ODIN.
The phone boots up fine to the main screen, where then I get the error message about a UID ? (Sounds dirty) it says to wipe data or my phone will have inconsistencies. Then gives me a button that says "feeling lucky"
Message as follows "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partion or your device will be unstable" Only button to click is I'm feeling Lucky
everything force closes, red voodoo still shows up in recovery. What am I missing or doing wrong?
I bought this phone this way and like i said i know NOTHING about ADB or all those commands, etc.
Can somebody help me out? I'd even gladly send it to a trusted member for repair with a donation, of course.. until then I'm using my OLD bb curve

both should be able to get you back to stock through odin then you can restart what you did. personally i keep both handy since i already had to use them due to an error that cause the phone to freeze up completely at the samsung logo. hope that helps
make sure you use the pda option in odin and not the phone..aparantly using the phone option can really screw things up
I did another factory data reset, and my UID message vanished. Although, VooDoo is still in recovery even after flashing D101 through ODIN.
My phone gave me the notification of an update (DL09) It downloaded it, and when it went to install it - it booted right into the red VooDoo recovery.
I'm going to flash DL09 through ODIN now, but I'm thinking VooDoo isn't about to go anywhere.

are you disabling voodoo before flashing these new kernels?

so did you use the odin files and flash it via PDA in odin? if so, did that revert you to total stock? i believe those .md5 files contain the stock recovery.
EDIT:
do you know what version of voodoo you're using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784
that guide should help you, if you're using voodoo 5 there is a guide there that specifcally says "if you're still getting the red voodoo menu flash this file then flash a nonvoodoo kernel." check that article out by ady if you havent already.
flash voodoo boot right into recovery. adb shell into the device and type
cat /voodoo/partition_tables/fascinate > /dev/block/mmcblk0
And then reflash everything with Odin.
Also one of adrynalyne's di01 packages doesnt flash recovery. So either flash my dj05 or go to adrynalyne's cwm odin thread and flash a regular update.zip cwm tar.

A proper, 100% full Odin tar will replace everything on the phone, including voodoo, and the partitions that it formatted as ext4 will now be RFS again. Since the full DJ05s and DL09s came out I use it as a first resort instead of a last resort. Flash the full tar, CWM, the kernel, then nandroid and I am good to go in about 15 minutes.
Just to throw my two cents' worth in here, red CWM is not synonymous with Voodoo. It's just the version of Clockworkmod recovery that is capable of working when the lag fix is enabled. It's normally installed with Voodoo kernels, but the Voodoo lagfix itself can be completely disabled, and red CWM will still work just fine. If you got the OTA notification for DL09, it sounds like you have a stock ROM, which means Voodoo is actually gone, so you just need to restore the recovery from red CWM back to stock so that the OTA patch will be able to install properly.

Presentation is everything, thanks for the info!
Okay, so I flash the Froyo ROM to my phone and I think I forgot to disable Voodoo... well it was hanging on the SAMSUNG splash and wouldn't ever load, so I tried to restore a previous backup using Clockwork... and now it only boots into stock recovery mode. I tried returning to stock, and now it only boots into stock recovery without even booting into CWM.
What do I do?
edit: Nevermind, I flashed CWM back in... I still can't get my phone out of stock recovery looping...
I've also tried wipe data/factory reset plus cache wipe... went into Odin and flashed the stock files using the PIT/PDA and now it still boots into manual mode... even after restoring CWM and flashing my restores.
At this point, forget about your backups. Especially if they were Voodoo backups. Flash the DJ05 or DL09 Odin stock, get the green CWM update.zip on there and then flash DL30 via CWM.
I'm not sure if I have the DL09 Odin stock... I'll have to get those and give it a try.

Yeah if you didn't back up with green cwm, probably going to have to get red back eventually, then you'll be able to restore any old back ups

Okay, I went to the Odin Restore files thread to get my restore files, so those are the ones I used. I'm not sure where to get the others, so I'll walk you through what I did.
1) Followed tutorial to return to Verizon stock.
2) Reboot phone, does not boot into anything but manual mode.
3) Flash CWM to access CWM.
4) ???
Okay, so new error. I found the stock DL09 Odin files and flashed them. Now my phone endlessly reboots with the "Wipe Data" over and over again. I need my phone working by tomorrow so that I can call my job as there's a blizzard here and I won't be able to get in.
I finally got it. I used Adryn's flash back to DI01 in order to restore my phone. Thanks anyway all.
Where did you find that stock restore for odin, I have the same issue.
im having same issue...any help would be great
I was getting this issue the other day. The only way I could fix it was as suggested... DJ05 flash with odin.
Ok, I'm having troubles flashing blackhole 4.2. I'll start off with where I am.
I'm rooted.
I have already flashed the EB01 modem.
I can also successfully enter the new red cwm.
I have a full working nandroid backup.
So I tried downloading the .zip for the standalone rom from sonofskywalker's post for blackhole 4.2. I placed the .zip on my sd card, but not in a folder. I booted into red. I wiped cache partition, wiped dalvic cache, and cleared data/factory reset. I selected install rom from sd. I then selected the blackhole .zip. It flashed, so I selected reboot system now. It brought up the samsung screen, then went black, then back to samsung logo, and finally back to red cwm. I've tried several times but I keep getting stuck in this boot loop. So I ended up restoring my nandroid .Does anybody have any suggestions? I also tried downloading it from rom manager. Same result. I thought it had something to do with still being on stock kernel. So I tried the standalone version. Is it still a kernel problem? If so could somebody please recommend a kernel to use with blackhole for eb01(preferrably not voodoo, but if it must be done). I also saw jt's bootanimation kernel in rom manager but haven't had the chance to try it yet. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Again Thanks
You might try downloading again. It sounds like your download may have gotten screwed up. Check the md5 hash

I've tried downloading again from both rom mgr and the blackhole thread. I would check md5 hash but I don't know how or what it is.
