I tried to flash Voodoo 5 but it didn't work so I tried to flash back to stock but now all I get is a boot loop that says:
--Wiping Data...
Formatting FOTA...
FOTA Wipe Failed.
Formatting Data...
Formatting Cache...
Formatting DBDATA...
wipe_data failed.
How do I fix this?? HELP! I've tried everything!
Did you flash dj05 via odin first?

Voodoo 5 is only for dj05.

Go to android central, samsung fascinate roms and hacks,
Look up "force close loop of hell" and see if that may work for you. I believe it contains a stock image to reflash via odin.

I bet it was voodoo4.
Flash this in odin.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/test3package.tar
Then reflash DI01.
I can't get into CWM let alone recovery at this point. I tried the Force Close Loop of Hell and still no luck. It just constantly tries to wipe and fails.
Then you obviously skipped over most if not all of what I said. Thats part of what landed you in this mess.
Also, I hope your signature is wrong...
wow, that's helpful.
Any other advice? I've googled this high and low and no one else seems to have had this kind of problem.
about my sig: different phone, my vibrant is a piece of cake to mod, unlike this jacked up Fascinate.
*sigh*
Sorry, Im a prick. I meant to flash it in Odin. I figured you weren't listening to me. I humbly apologize.
I've been trying your methods here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784
but it won't stay in recovery long enough for me to adb, and nothing I flash seems to stop the loop.
forget about recovery mode right now.
Your best bet is to use Odin and flash the tar file that Adrynalyne just linked you to.
Get yourself into download mode (Turn phone off, hold volume down, turn on phone)
Check up above. I had made a typo. Use Odin to flash that kernel and get back with me asap. You made need to relfash Di01 too.
I flashed the test package and then flash DI01. No luck.
Not really sure what to do at this point. I rooted the phone while it was on DI01. Then I flashed Blackhole rom with StupidFast kernal. Then I decided to flash voodoo kernal instead. It stated to boot and gave me the voice telling me 3 minues, 2 minutes, then 20 minutes later still no boot. So I disengaged but I had the phone--!--pc logo. So I flashed DI01 via Odin. That's when I got the loop. So I put the disable_lagfix folder in Voodoo on the sdcard and flashed everything I could find and still no fix. I'm out of ideas at this point.
All I can tell you is that I am looking into it.
I do appreciate your help. I'm still looking around for answers myself but I can't find anything about wiping the FOTA, or failing to wipe the FOTA. I'm sure you'll have better luck than me.
I have a tweet for assistance in to the main Voodoo dev, supercurio. Havent heard back yet.
In the meantime,

Try flashing cwmrecovery.tar in odin.
Then if you have an update.zip on your sdcard, you might be able to get into cwm, to wipe data from there.
If you need an update.zip...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip
What adrynalyne said. totally inb4'd me.
Thanks adrynalyne, I actually already tried that. I flashed CWMrecovery.tar and I have the update.zip on the card. Still nothing.
This is just really discouraging, ya know? I've modded and remodded, flashed and reflashed my Vibrant a hundred times, but the first day with a Fascinate and its already a $500 paperweight.
Im fairly certain we can get it back up. Somehow. Join us on IRC?

Hey all,
I have flashed DJ05, rooted, and installed the Voodoo5 lagfix kernel/JT's super clean ROM via ROM Manager.
This morning, I attempted to install extra fonts using ROM Manager and the device fell into a reboot cycle. I attempted to boot CWM to restore the last backup I made and after that several force close warnings would pop up and the phone would reset itself. (This is where my inexperience and lack of research comes in).
Using Odin, I tried to reflash back to stock DJ05 to start over. Not realizing that I should have removed the lag fix and reflash a different kernel before reflashing using Odin.
Now the device is in a continuous reset loop and won't boot any software at all. I have attempted to reflash CWM and at least get that to boot but nothing.
How bad is my device messed up? Is there any salvaging anything at this point? Is there a way to restore the MBR without CWM and get it to boot correctly? Command line? Anything?
Find a full di01 or dj05 odin flash and use that in odin. It will completely format and reload everything short of touching your sd card. This should in theory get you back to stock. In fact search the forum for "odin restore files to get you back to stock"
SCH-I500 - DL09/Deodexed/JT1134 12.30/Darkstar
I tried reflashing using the stock DJ05 files and it still is in the reset loop. It shows the SAMSUNG screen, then the screen where it shows the /data and /cache partitions being formatted, then resets again.
Could there be something wrong with the /boot partition? Is there a way to restore that partition?
I know it seems redundant but try it with the di01 odin from adrynalyn
SCH-I500 - DL09/Deodexed/JT1134 12.30/Darkstar
Also make sure you use the PIT while flashing the stock images - that will ensure that voodoo is completely removed in the process.
I did that to my first Fascinate and I was never able to fix it, despite several, and I mean several reflashes and methods. Brought it to Verizon and they gave me a replacement. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news

If flashing DI01 stock doesn't work by itself, doing a Master Clear and flashing DI01 again might work. If you still can't get your phone to launch, it's probably time to go with ringleader's solution.

Installed Viper rom, with root. Phone boots up fine, but It wont go out of airplane mode. Anyone have any ideas where I went wrong.
I thought I followed the directions.... Is the only way to fix is flash back to stock?
Thanks!!

did you flash the dk28 modem before flashing Viper?
I did.. but I think this is where I went wrong. I wasn't sure how to flash just the DK28 Modem without linking a tar with it. So I flashed the DK28 modem with a 2.1 tar.. How do I flash the DK28 without anything else using ODIN?

Hmm... I'm pretty sure it should have worked either way... as long as you ended up with your baseband version ending with dk28. I'm not at my computer at the moment, but there is a modem tar file that gives you just the dk28 modem, without actually updating you to Froyo.... but I would think you should have been good either way. After Odin, did the phone reboot, and did you have dk28 at the end of your baseband version? Sorry if I can't help more... lol.
I've seen your problem happen before when the dk28 modem flash didnt take. Just do it again. You don't need another tar to flash the modem, just the modem.bin.
So when using ODIN, just select the modem bin and install?
>>You don't need another tar to flash the modem, just the modem.bin.
Why not just flash the dk28 tar?
Clean install; and will allow your GPS to fix
He already has viper rom installed and just needs the modem. If he odined dk28, then he would have to convert to ext4 and install his rom again. If he just flashes the modem, then he can go on his merry way.
Well I just tried flashing the modem again.. Now all I get when I try to power up the phone is the screen comes on with a small icon of a phone with a icon of a computer with a yelllow triangle with an exclamation point inside of it.. This doesn't look good.
Darn Noobs anyways.. Any ideas on what I did, and how I can get it back?

I'm just taking this from the ACS thread [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861220]here[/URL] but it looks like you need to use the modem and pit file. There is a big link in the first post.
Their instructions then simply say
1. Download from the first link and use the included files to flash the modem (check only "Auto Reboot" on the left, use the PIT in the "PIT" section and modem.tar in the "PDA" section on the right.)
Hope this helps, if not - please ignore accordingly
Edit: Well I just saw you have a new problem. I think I would just flash with the DK28 Extended tarball found here. This will be a full odin flash, modem and all and you'll have a fresh DK28 that is prerooted and ready to go. Then you'd just need to do install CWM 3 and then flash your ROM of choice. I recommend Midnight, but Viper is popular too.
Thats what I just downloaded and tried to install with Odin. Now I cannot boot into recovery or anything. It just comes up with an icon of a phone and computer on the screen with a yellow triangle in between them. I pulled that battery, put it back in with no luck.

I've seen that screen before.... so it's fixable. I think the key is gonna be if you can still get into download mode, and get Odin to work. I once had to run Odin 10 times til it finally worked. Somw people say to remove your sd card when using Odin... but I don't know if that's the key. Also, are you following the directions as to the buttons on the left, and leaving auto-reboot checked?
Here's a question: what is happening when Odin stops doing what it's doing? Did it run thru the install and say 'pass' at the end? And in the dialog box, did it say (something like) succeed:1 fail:0? At that point the phone should reboot into the new system.

Its odin time now; no other choice. So go ahead and hold 1 and power to boot into download mode and flash the dk28 tar.

I had to do a bunch of things, and don't know what finally made it work for sure but my theory. . .
I was able to get it to boot into clockwork by plugging it into the charger. But even after reseting everything it would still come up with the screen I describe before.
The way I believe I got it back into download mode was to take out the battery, hook it to the USB cable and then hold down the # 1 with the power button. Could of just been a conicendince though.
Anyways... it is fixed and working with ViperRom.

borked up the fascinate whilst trying to update to the devs 2.2.
i know exactly what i did wrong. i was running voodoo5, and i clicked to disable lag fix, but i forgot to restart to let it *actually* disable before trying to load the new stuff. STUPID!
when that happened, it hung on samsung screen, then after battery pull all the phone will do is boot loop.. samsung screen, then goes to robot and screen says says "wiping cache, data, ect.." and then back to samsung screen to reboot and reboot.
i have literally 30 tabs open with articles from here and other forums, nothing seems to be working. here is what i have tried.
1. tried booting back to red cwm and playing with the lagfix (enable and disable again) to see if it would work, no go. i ended up losing red cwm - had to ODIN red back.. i cant get green to flash.
2. tried flashing DL09 both the full package and each individual part via ODIN
3. tried flashing the stocki500system.md5 (from the board) and kernel via ODIN, and nothing.. same boot loop. everything i have flashed via ODIN still gives me a boot loop..
4. tried to connect via ADB but it wont let me access the phone.. NOTE: i just downloaded ADB as a last resort and know nothing about it..
the only thing i can seem to do is get to red cwm. i have several backups in the restore section, but none of them seem to work - either i get a "no file found" even though i can see the file(s), or i get an error after it does load that says ".android_secure.img not found. skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure"
any ideas?
Okay follow these steps. Make sure you follow them step by step. Even though you have the lagfix installed this removed it for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
Place the PIT file where it belongs. Then ODIN the system, kernel, and recovery in that order. Don't restart the process every time. Just ODIN them one after another.
thank you very much for taking a moment to answer. i did follow that thread, however
i managed to get the stocki500 recovery but the other files (recovery, PIT) are all 404 not found errors.
ive tried that stock md5 and it still boot loops. i actually have that tab open from when i tried that route..
any other ideas and thanks again
Thats why its not working. Try this restore by adrynalyne. The file is there and everything is in one. Just ODIN in the PDA section. This should work.

I did the exact same thing a couple of days ago, and recovered a similar way, odin back to D101, flashed DL09 & superclean, then restored a backup, then disabled voodoo and finally flashed DL30. I've got a couple of questions.
1: Is voodoo completely off my phone or is it just disabled (is there a difference)? When I apply update.zip from the blue recovery I get green cwm.
2: Each time I backup, restore, flash a different rom I apply update.zip, then from green recovery I flash "new_cwm.zip". Is this necessary?

i followed all the hints i got, and i think that the one i got about formatting helped me get out of the boot loop from hell.. it finally took my flash from ODIN, it wouldn't until i did the format(s)..
mind you i am NOT an expert, however from what i read and talked about offline, voodoo is still resident on your phone but disabled (check to see if you have the voodoo file still on your card).. if DL30 is running fine, you are ok..
from what i have read, yes.. the new cwm is required in order to get it to mesh properly with 2.2 leak.. i havent had any issues and i loaded that as well.. from one of the posts i read, if you are a serial flasher, then you need to make sure that not only you download the new cwm zip, but also should have deleted the entire clockworkmod folder from your card for best results..
I love this threadd.... I did the same damn thingg...

Hey folks, I'm hoping one of you can help me out with an issue that just cropped up on my phone. I've been running EB01 since it's release and have had no issues whatsoever except for today when I noticed my apps (Titananium Backup, Tapatalk, Root Explorer) we're remembering preferences anymore and/or every time I exit from them and launch again....it thinks it's the first run again.
Did something hose up my permissions/ownerships? Only think I did recently was flash the de-binged browser via CWM.
Any ideas??
What are you running? It may be a permissions problem. Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?

I was just about to start a thread about this. I'm having the same problem. I upgraded from blackhole 4.1 (DL30) to Superclean 2.2 EB01 with voodoo lagfix. I got the red CWM flashed via odin and proceeded to install the EB01 modem and the superclean 2.2v (EB01).
The first time I flashed was a disaster, there were issues with Odin completing the flash, so I had to do USB pulls about 4 times (which ended up giving me full "light blue" screens during download mode at times).
After getting Odin to cooperate, I was able to flash the Superclean 2.2v (EB01), and then I restored everything from Titanium Backup, which worked fine until I restarted the phone or left it alone for a couple of hours. Everything would force close (like ADWLauncer Ex, forcing me to use ONLY TWLauncher) and all my preferences were lost. Like gmail would have to resync as if it were new, all the EULA dialogs would come up (like in android market), my trillian profiles were all lost, if i turned off haptic feedback that would turn back on, my ringtones would go back to the defaults, etc.
So I read some other thread in the Development section which said to reflash, and do not do any restores at all. So I reflashed with Super clean 2.3v (EB01), but it happened again, all my preferences would be lost. I also tried to do "fix permissions" from RED CWM, but it just ran for like a fraction of a second and didn't seem like it did anything, as the problem persisted.
I'm planning to go back to DL30 or even DL09 to see if my phone functioned properly or not.
If anyone has a solution to this problem please help!
- Superclean 2.3v (EB01)
I'm thinking it has something to do with flashing either the De-Binged browser or the new market update. Maybe something in the framework-res is getting hosed up?
I just did a wipe and reflashed plain old EB01 and I'm not going to flash any changes and see if the problem comes up again.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've been all the way down to DJ05 to see what happens, and when I come back to superclean 2.2 voodoo-ed, I get force closes on everything the first time I restart - that issue was due to the new feature froyo added "automatic restore" in settings > privacy. I got that taken care of by uninstalling all apps.
However, when I restart now, my entire phone defaults back to cleared data. I'm talking every setting that I could think of (usb debugging, sound, brightness, contacts, security pin cleared). I don't get it at all. Everything else has been working right though.
Just thought I would share - I'm kinda still in limbo till I figure out what I should do.

I wonder if it has to do with the type of EB01 we're using or the CWM. I flashed CWM red via Odin, rather than updating via Rom Manager or update.zip. Also I used the EB01 Walkthrough in the fascinate developers section, the link is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
***UPDATE***
I resolved the problem... I think. I noticed there was a difference in the file names of the EB01 Modem in the walkthrough link I provided on the last line of the paragraph above and the EB01 Modem given in the original EB01 stock thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948679). I flashed with the eb01a_modem.tar given in the stock thread and then upgraded to Super Clean with Voodoo (v. 2.4 as of this writing). The market DID restore all the apps, before I was able to stop it, but after I restarted, there were no force closes nor were there any loss of preferences. I hope the modem issue was what was wrong...
Started doing it again this morning. This time I did not flash any mode via ROM Manager. Only things I did was de-bloat using Root Explorer and Titanium Backup.
Not every app started forgetting preferences, some still reemebered. Any of the devs have an idea of what's going on here? I'm running the plain old, fully-bloated EB01 ROM. No voodoo, no de-odexed, or anything like that.
I think it's a dbdata partition issue. I can't say how to fix because it's above my paygrade, but you may have to wait until it is officially released.

Try the Odin back to stock...DI01, wipe everything. Reroot and and get cwm. Then ODIN EB01 Modem Tar followed by super clean 2.4 install through cwm. Be sure to wipe data and cache before flashing super clean.
I there a reason I have to go all the way back to DI01, or can I use any All-In-One Odin package that writes the ROM, Kernel, & Radio?

I suggest that typically before anything else b/c it seems to help most. I've never experienced these issues but many suggest this is a viable method to remedy certain problems. Don't see why you couldn't try the odin DL09 all-in-one and wipe the hell out of it and try again. Good Luck.
Is the corruption in the dbdata partition caused by an older version of CWM or a problem in the EB01 ROM itself?
Is it safe to go back to EB01?

I believe it's currently inconclusive. There is speculation about exactly what causes it hence the reason I suggest wiping everything and then flashing the most recently provided stuff. That way it'll narrow things down. Someone can correct me, but if you odin back to stock, I'm 99% sure super cleans 2.4 voodoo kernel includes the new cmw. I was on green cmw unitl I flashed the seperate voodoo kernel posted by jt. I haven't had any issues.
Its almost certainly dbdata corruption. The cause is...yeah questionable. Seems most common with voodoo with the current hack being used to get it working with froyo.

Its almost certainly dbdata corruption. The cause is...yeah questionable. Seems most common with voodoo with the current hack being used to get it working with froyo.

I went all the way back to DI01, then flashed to EB01 using an Odin All-In-One and now 48-72 hours later, my apps (most notably Tapatalk, Root Explorer, and Titanium Backup) think it's the first time they've run every time I launch it.
Shouldn't have going back to DI01 fixed the corruption since it reformats the ROM partition? Also, something I notice was that flashing to DI01 or EB01 using odin did not get rid of the new CWM Recovery.
Would running the permission fix correct the issue?

No...are you running voodoo? And what rom are you using?

This will hopefully repartition and clean dbdata corruption. BTW, I couldn't get 2.2 to run on my phone until I odin flashed a ROM which allowed me to then flash Adrynalyne's 2.4.
DI01, DJ05, DL09 did not work for the fix. Eclair worked fine, but Froyo would not work until I flashed a 2.2 odin.
Do I need to check the "Re-Partition" option in Odin when flashing or does it do it automatically?
