I just installed TitaniumBackup (paid) and Clockworkmod and was playing around. I used odin as directed and was able to backup my current ROM. I then installed Froyo and it worked. I played with it a little bit then decided to go back to 2.1. I installed Clockworkmod and then tried to recover back to 2.1. Now when it boots up I hear the verizon sound and it seems normal, but all I can see is the black screen with 'SAMSUNG' in white.
Any ideas how to resolve this???
thanks,
JD
Nevermind. I think I fixed it

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!
Thought this might be of help to others, after trying the froyo viper rom for a week, I decided to go back to 2.1, kept getting force closes, so booted in to clockword wiped 3 times and used it to restore to my last backup which was right before I updated to viper. Rebooting the phone it would not get past the Samsung screen, tried booting it over and over still just stayed at the samsung screen was about to odin it when it occured to me that maybe clockwork doesnt replace the kernal or doesnt replace it correctly from the backup, so re downloaded y previouse kernal (mixup) and the restored my last backup again and rebooted, this time it booted up just fine.....but now after a little while i started getting lines running up the screen, kinda like static or a unsupported video mode...hmmmm back tinto clockword and reflashed the mixup kernal again, reboot ........seems alright now no freaky static lines booting just fine back to how I had it before the froyo rom
lol
Clockwork doesn't backup kernel's I don't think. So always keep your 2.1 kernel handy...
Sent from my Epic Froyo using XDA app!
Thxs for the heads up...
After trying the "froyo" roms..I've experienced TWLAUNCHER FC loops and not getting all my market apps especially the SlingPlayer that i purchased..which is most important to me..
I was wondering why I would not get back to my EE back-up ..
it was a pain to start from scratch and flash original, then modem, then another froyo rom to see which one worked..
So now you say to do a full backup restore and then flash the kernal after that?
is there a solution to get "ALL" my apps to show up in Froyo market?

I have been using Rubix Focused 1.8.9 on my DX for a weeks or so and I was super happy with it. I have been getting a little ROM crazy though and had been reading up on Tranquility 3.5.1 and it seemed pretty cool so I decided to try it.
I think I messed something up in the install process because things were FCing left and right and it was just super laggy. So I decided to restore my nandroid backup that I had made right before installing Tranquility.
I was doing all this on a bus so I didn't realize that my batter was pretty low. Well halfway through my nandroid restore my batter died. Suffice it say that I was freaking out.
I got home and booted the phone and got the Tranqulity splash screen, followed by the Rubix splash screen. Then the phone booted up into Rubix exactly like it was in the backup.
I have no idea what is going on. I dont really mind the splash screens but I am afraid there may be some issues if there are files from both installs running at the same time.
Should I try restoring the backup again and let it go all the way through or do I have nothing to worry about?
Actually - and you can correct me if I am wrong - you got the tranquility boot logo and the rubix flash screen? If that is correct - you don't really need to worry about it. For whatever reason - the nandroid does not over write the boot logo.
I actually performed and sbf and when I rebooted my phone I still had my custom boot logo! It actually kind of bothered me. I thought the whole purpose of an sbf was to COMPLETELY restore your phone to its factory state.
So anyways - I wouldn't worry about it too much. I know it would drive me crazy to have the "wrong" boot logo. Here is a link to a thread with tons of boot logo's to choose from...

good luck.
Hello all,
I recently switched to the Fascinate from the HTC Incredible. So far I have rooted and installed cwm. I got the Super Clean ROM and one of jt's voodoo kernels installed. The kernel was the 12/14 version from Rom Manager. Everything was going fine and I had finally gotten everything how I wanted it. Then I though oh how bout a theme now.
Apparently that wasn't the right thing to do. I download the zip and boot into red recovery to install. I make a nandroid backup and continue to install the zip. Upon installing the theme I reboot the device. Then it just boots into stock recovery. So I think oh no that's not good. I apply update.zip to get into cwm, but then green cwm pops up intead of red. Also an error also pops up saying E: can't open /cache/recover/log. At first I didn't really think anything of it so I continue to try to restore my backup I just made. No luck. So I try to reinstall the kernel and ROM I had downloaded. No luck. All I get is errors and I dont really know how to get back into red cwm.
Now I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching for solutions all day and I can't really find anything with my particular problem.
Which theme did you flash?
It was through rom manager. Something from blackhole. I don't remember exactly to be honest.
Ok I'm not sure if I made it better or worse. I took the sd card out and put it into my moto droid. I then created the disable_lagfix folder in the voodoo files. Then I put the card back in my phone. I tried flashing the stock DL09.tar through odin and now it is stuck in a loop. Samsung screen pops up then immediately runs a factory reset and does it all over again.
I'm completely new at this I just rooted my nook color today with Stable CM7. I wanted too overclock my nook so I flashed the kernel from this thread onto my device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064095 now whenever I go to turn on my device it's a blank blackish screen. How would I get it back to how it was before I installed this (I must've done something wrong, I'm an idiot). I just tried to install the stock kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908515 but same thing is happening for me.
This exact problem happened to me today. I found some link to a stock 1.1 Nook Color software or something like that, got the Nook Color back to essentially factory settings, and then repeated the whole process of installing CM7, with the added step of installing the kernel along with the ROM and gapps.
Could you link me to this stock software you found?

You used the wrong kernel. That one is apparently for rooted stock, not CM7.
Since your screen is black you might have to revert back to stock OS before reflashing CM7.
Can you boot into CWM from a SD? If so you can just try and redo the install procedure for CM7. This guide is recommended. (Also containing a link to a guide for reverting to stock, if needed...)

Alright I'm going to try to re-flash CM7. Thanks bro.
Well I reinstalled CM7 and when I pressed 'reboot system now' in CWM it just takes me back to CWM so I'm still lost. Going to try to install stock now.

Ok I installed stock now and it seems to be working, but It's just stuck at a screen saying 'contains Reader Mobile technology by Adobe Systems Incorporated.' and then the nook symbol in the center of the screen. It could just be loading but it's been 3-5 mins atleast so idk.
Yeah it's not going past that screen where it says 'contains Reader Mobile technology by Adobe Systems Incorporated.' not sure if I should try rebooting though. I tried going into recovery mode and get 'Install failed' so I tried installing again but same results.
I got my nook working with cm7 again, thank you for the help!
weird, my mom called me last night with the same issue. will see it today to see what it was.
Just to add on to the part where you said it took you back to CWM after reboot (for anyone who might come here for answers), you have to take the SD card out before you reboot.
