ok so i got some help from you guys on fixing my phone after the VooDoo crash. i flashed Eugene's froyo 2.2 and the phone is ALIVE!! one major problem i am seeing is i have no application storage now! i cannot download any apps, when i go to manage apps i have a ton of weird apps installed and i can't uninstall anything. how can i fix this??
Root explorer
V5 custom vibrant
root explorer? whats this?
An app from the market which gives you access to all the files on the phone and the abort ability top delete them
V5 custom vibrant
hmm, but i have zero storage, i cannot download any apps. i get a message saying i have no storage left
Go to the market and push downloads then delete some of the apps you have already maybe that will give you enough room
V5 custom vibrant
i just fixed the phone and got it running, i have not downloaded any apps.
Did you repartition when you odined also the apps usually go off of your google account sign in to the market and your apps should come up from before what ever you had paid for should be available
V5 custom vibrant
Anyway to post any pix of these strange apps your talking about?
V5 custom vibrant
did not repartition, should i?
oh and no i don't know how to send a screen shot of the applications. but they are only in the manage apps section, i can't see the apps on the phone but they are there in the manage section
Dude have odined back to stock yet are you still on eugenes froyo ?you have go back to 2.1 its a pit file and jfd file you can find then on this site
V5 custom vibrant
yeah i have tried to go back to stock after the froyo flash but i end up with the blank screen after the galaxy S logo. the phone only works with the froyo flash installed.
Did you extract the pit file?
V5 custom vibrant
yeah both the 512 pit and jfd rar files are extracted, should i start over and reflash eugene's froyo? then flash the stock jfd file? if so when should i be repartitioning?
you dont extract the jfd file you were supposed to leave that how it was
ok my bad, the jfd file won't extract. i just realized this.
is it possible that the drivers are bad have you tried flashing another 2.2 rom then flashing back to stock?the only thing i can think of is try odin again click re partition and try to go to stock or try to flash another 2.2 rom then go back to stock if odin is set up correctly im not sure why its not working
another 2.2 rom? i had only heard about the eugene's fix for the voodoo brick that im experiencing. whatever i do i always get a blank screen after flashing unless i flass the froyo (rom?).
i'm going to try flashing eugene's froyo back in it without repartitioning then start odin back up and flash the old vj12 with partition selected and see what that does. i had a file called original from my last brick fix but am not sure what that was.
I have a huge problem.
I rooted my wife's (yea...my wife's...) Fascinate last night. The root method I used worked like a charm. I installed ROM Manager. Again...no problem. Flashed ClockWork Mod no problem as well. I selected "reboot to recovery" to do a nandroid as I've done on numerous other phones. In fact, ALL of this I've done on numerous times on half a dozen different phones.
When it rebooted, instead of it being in Nandroid, it was in the regular stock recovery. My stomach sank...lol
It would just reboot...that's it. Is there a loop with the fascinate? How do I get out of it if so?
At one point, the phone wouldn't do ANYTHING...all that would happen when I plugged it in was a little computer and cell phone would pop up on the screen. No recovery, no nothing. So, after lots of digging and reading, I found the files here that I thought I'd need to reflash the system using odin. I got the /system file, the kernal and the recovery. I flashed the kernal...worked perfectly. Flashed the recovery...again, perfect (and recovery is back but still in a reboot loop...) When I try the .tar.md5 system file, it says md5 is invalid so I changed it to a straight .tar file and it worked all the way up to the very end, then it stops. That's it.
I just need the phone to work again for my wife. I don't care if I even flash a new custom rom (which I can't fine one of that works!) or if it's just simply restoring the stock system files.
ANY AND ALL HELP GREATLY appreciated, guys. Thanks!!
To get to cwm, you have to select "apply update.zip" from stock recovery. This is how fascinate and a few other galaxy s cwm works. Also don't ever delete the update.zip file from sd card.
But to start out....
Step 1: Start with Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
A. Flash system and pit together
B. Flash kernel
C. Flash recovery
*Important note: in Odin, always use PDA!!!! Using phone will cause huge issues.
Step 2: Flash cwm:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/CWMrecovery.tar
*note: this is an Odin file, again flash using PDA
Your phone will end up stock, rooted and with cwm.
That's very interesting. Here's why:
A) It tried to flash the update and the update failed.
B) My Vibrant didn't require this step.
So...as I was typing that, I had the tar.md5 downloading again. Apparently 4th time was a charm because it worked and I'm back up and running.
Thank you all SO MUCH for the STUPID fast replies. Very very cool!!!
Rooting aside if you want to just fix it, I can help you with that. Nothing more though. Interested?

I think he means that your replies were just as fast as geeknik's kernel. The only other interpretation is that although your replies were quite quick, unfortunately they were also stupid. But thats obviously not true, so it must be the former. ;-P

Hey dont worry i had same problem
http://www.mobilephonenews.info/and...fascinate-restore-is-it-really-that-easy.html go here and follow instructions!!!
then update phone manually to get latest update!! might take a few times or many times because it failed to get update many times but eventually youll get it!!
goodluck
Sherwood, in his case he needs all Odin files, not just system.
Fallingup was first to put this up, credit to his post!

Yea...I mean it's almost stupid how fast I got good, meaningful, educated replies.
In other words, you guys kick ass. Thanks again!!
similiar issue, please help me out.
spent 90% of the last few days of my life trying to "unbrick" my phone. i kno some of you will argue that its not really bricked but hell, a screen lighting up does not mean its more useful than a brick. anyway my problem is as follows:
the one and only thing my phone will boot to is download mode. absolutely no recovery. i have flashed via odin the stock modem system and recovery files countless times, sometimes successfully sometimes with error. even when doing so succesfullly the phone gains absolutely no functions. still download mode or black screen. only real thing i can mention that may have led to this issue is that i flashed stock kernel over voodoo lag fix without doing anything to it first. Please help.
Thanx

I had the same problem when I flashed the non-voodoo over voodoo and spent hours trying to fix the boot loop. I followed the instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204 but still running into the boot loop (recovery mode) then I flashed with the file from here via ODIN http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/DI01package3.tar.md5 and it restored my phone back to factory. From there you would have to do the root procedure again. Hope this helps.
anyone know where to get the update zip besides the dropbox link thsat has been dead forever??? every site i hunt on post that link. is there anywhere else to get it. both my pc get c++ runtime floating point errors when i open odin so i cannot flash with that. so i want to use the update zip but cannot find it

This could be one of the rosiest phone ever to unbrick, unless you are a noon of coarse.

There is no update.zip method to unbrick. You will need to re-download a working copy of Odin or figure out how to make Odin work to do a factory restore with it.
Download the di01 complete package and use pda in odin to restore it.

I'm currently attempting to install CWM as a preface to updating to froyo, and the instructions say to move update.zip from the CWM zip to the SD cards root file, but when I look inside the EVERY version of CWM all I see is recovery.bin. I'm probably misunderstanding something here but i cant figure out what. Someone please help me before I punch my monitor.
aaaannnd Rom Manager claims my SD card isn't mounted when it obviously is. Screw it.
If you don't have any version of CWM on your phone now then you will need to use Odin to flash it. Just grab jt's new CWM for all roms over in the dev section and flash it that way. In PDA ONLY of course.
I did. I just realized I downloaded the cmw_recovery.tar, which I'm guessing is part of a larger package. The only issue is, I can't find cwm_froyo-odin.zip anywhere. The link in the dev thread is down, and google yields no results... Has it been mirrored anywhere?
You can always just install Super clean ROM from adrynalyne, which includes the new CWM.
First of all, don't use rom manager. It doesn't like our phone very well. Also, if you're flashing the newest CWM from jt that is compatible with the Froyo roms, then all you have to do is flash it in Odin, and boot into it with the three finger salute. You don't need any update.zip or anything on your sdcard, as this version installs directly onto and loads from your phone's boot partition. If you flashed the right one, the menus will be red, not green.
Posted from my EB01 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
got it. I originally flashed the wrong version. I'm dumb.
Edit: Alright, sorry guys, new question. I've got superclean 2.2 (nonvoodoo) successfully installed, but decided I wanted to upgrade to the voodoo kernal afterward. I powered off, and powered backing up using the 3 finger salute, but CWM refuses to boot up. It boots up in recovery mode so I scroll down to sd card/update.zip (although it's sd card:update.zip for me?) during which the progress bar gets to about 25% and then it resets into recovery mode without giving me any errors. Can I just reflash cwm or will that cause a problem?
I was updating to EB01 and followed the walkthrough. I downloaded the blackhole rom 4.2 and chose my features. Downloaded it through RomManager and installed it.
Now i get a loop where the phone will show the fascinate screen, but then go straight back to Recovery? Any ideas? I have tried reinstalling the rom.
had the same problem, try downloading it and use the standard theme.
I copied the base blackhole rom to my sd card. Installed it.. and still got nothing. Went right back to recovery.
Any other ideas? I have reflashed the modem also and still nothing.

go back to stock, get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648
also try re-downloading the file, the file may be incomplete or fragmented. Personally i didnt like blackhole rom, thenewest one was just to buggy for me. probably more user error but who knows.
Does anyone have an EB13 to EC05 mirror? My update failed on me and I turned off my phone and the update has disappeared. I cant find it in the root of my SD card and would just like to have the current verision of my phone.
just root

If I were you, I would just root and go to Syndicate 1.1 and be done with it. Good luck.
