Soft-bricked after attempting to remove Voodoo - Fascinate General

After running jt1134 with the Voodoo5 Kernel, I decided to restore to stock. After flashing the non-voodoo kernel, my phone would only boot into the red text Voodoo Recovery. After following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784&highlight=brick (DJ05/Voodoo Instructions), my phone now boots into stock Android recovery with the following errors:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid Argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)
I'm now trying to flash a new ROM and stock Kernel via CWM (only in an attempt to get a booting phone), however with several ROMs, the installation is failing after a few lines.

Oh, and my computer and Odin aren't seeing my phone when it's in download mode.

boot into red cwm and flash voodoo kernel again. then you should be atleast able to boot, if u get in the red cwm just make sure you have disabled the lagfix in the voodoo menu and /system lagfix disabled also. then flash the non-voodoo kernel

So I worked with Odin for a bit and found that it would recognize my phone if I reinstalled the drivers after each individual flash. Voodoo Recovery is now gone, but I can now only boot into stock android recovery although I no longer have any errors in stock recovery.

[SOLVED] Galaxy S I9000B not booting, no recovery mode

I rooted and installed CM7 on my SGS i9000B about 1 month ago. Everything was going fine and I was in love with my phone.
This afternoon, suddenly and with no apparent reason, it started giving me infinite "Force Close" messages to all apps I tried to open, making the phone pretty useless. Whe this happened I tried repairing permission from within Rom Maanger but the problem persisted. So I booted in recovery mode (Clockwork Mod Recovery) and tried fixing permissions there, but force closing problem was still there.
I had an Nand backup from the day I installed CM7. So I went to recovery mode again and tried restoring the backup, but it gave me an error (I believe it was somwthing related to disk space, but I'm not sure about that). So I did another backup (just in case) and tried to reboot the phone to try restoring backup again.
The problem is, now I can't get to recovery mode again. When I rebooted I was not able to go back to recovery mode anymore. I am still able to get to Download mode though. So I was thinking about flashing some rom/bootloader or something back in from Odin, but as I have no experience doing this, I believe it's safer to ask for help here before doing anything to the phone.
I believe it's not bricked yet, since I can still get to download mode.
Can anyone give me some detailed info about what I should do?
Do flash Kernel one more and,
Do root again and try that working.
If it happend again, wipe dalvik-cache and after your device is rebooted, try again in CWM.

Sorry but I have very little experience with this and I want to be sure about what I'm supposed to do. What do you mean by flash kernel again? Is it flashing CyanogenMod 7 again via Odin?
I flashed the kernel again using Odin. Used the same file that I used before (when I fisrt rooted the phone a month ago - speedmod k13C). Now I can get into Recovery Mode.
But now I have a different problem. I tried to do a nandroid restore (backup and restore - restore ALL) but I have some errors related to mounting errors:
Code:
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st19 to /system with parameters auto llw.check=no
(File exists)
Error mounting /system/!
Skipping format...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st19 to /system with parameters auto llw.check=no
(File exists)
Can't mount /system/!
I have no idea what that means.
Any help?
While searching for help on this error I found some people saying that flashing stock rom back intro phone could solve the problem. So this was what I did. Flashed stock samsung rom back i using Odin but when phone rebooted the following error appeared:
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
[some recovery options]
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
So I have a very similar error - "can't mount /dev/block/SOMEFILE". It looks to me like a problem with the internal sd card. What do you guys think?
Solved
I could solve the problem using the method described in this thread.

What do you mean? I know how to flash TWRP. Flash the tar file through the AP section in odin? Can I flash it with the img file? Always did it with the tar file, never had this problem....I will check the TWRP installation guide again...
Thanks...
TWRP couldn't read my internal storage....what could have caused this? I have a lot of experience with bricked phones. I managed to flash the stock rom but yeah....I wanna flash a rom you know...
Grts
Thanks...will check this !

TWRP error 'E: unable to load '/twre/language/en-US.xml' help me find the right solut

Hi,
Oneplus 2, Stock Rom, rooted, SU TWRP,
Just rooted it and flashed TWRP recently
When I boot into TWRP and try wiping/backing up I get this:
'E: unable to load '/twre/language/en-US.xml'
Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid Argument)
The above line is repeated 5 times
Backups and restores work ok even though they give me this error.
Could it be a corrupted Dalvic Cache File system?
I've searched on here, but nothing definitive. Also Google yields conflicting results (repair System - wipe Davlic cache etc etc)
Does anyone know why its happening, and what is the best way to proceed?
I got the 'E: unable to load '/twre/language/en-US.xml' as well,
but saw no ill effects. It may just be an error in TWRP.
But the "Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid Argument)" I haven't seen.
Thanks for that - I fixed the "Unable to mount cache" bit by wiping the cache
(I previously tried wiping the Dalvic cache but I just got an error saying it couldn't mount it.
