I did a factory reset..had clockwork installed had the backup file there..when I start up the phone I get all kinds of fcs. Nothing is in my recovery.
Did I brick my phone? I was planning on sending the damn phone back now I think I screwed myself.

Assuming your talking about a Fascinate, there is an Odin recovery pacakage and directions in the dev forum. Follow those and youll be back to stock in no time. I already had to earlier when I bricked mine toying with things. Its pretty easy

Bless your heart for answering but how am I gonna do that when I can't get into the phone?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Like I told you before. Follow the directions on the page. You use Odin. The directions are all there, you boot the phone into download mode and flash files one at a time. Just follow the directions and you will be fine. It takes five minutes.

Be sure to read everything FIRST. Also that guide is only for the verizon fascinate.
thnx i will read and attempt and let u know how it worked. do i need to uninstall one click lagfix? do i have to use rom manager donate or free?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Rom manager free works fine for me, as for the lag fix I am unsure, as I never used it. I would feel safer removing it before starting anything.
ok will do that and see how it works, thnx

Everyone I've ever talked to said its absolutely necessary to remove oclf before flashing voodoo so yes, do that first. Good luck!

Yes roms in the developement section here can all usually be flashed through cwm unless otherwise stated. And I've never needed to unroot, but odin is a windows gui for flashing tar's(which are roms usually official and modems). You use Odin when you want to go back to complete stock, or modems usually. You can do other things with Odin such as flash custom recoveries like cwm. Odin is your bestfriend if you mess something up, always make sure to use a premium blackberry or other thick cable besides the one that came with the phone when using odin.(most people have difficulties with stock cable.)

I recently bought a epic 4g and I got a guy to flash it to cricket for me.
I have had this phone for a while now and I feel like I'm in need of downloading roms onto it.
Before I do so I'm sure someone has already gone through this so ijust want to be on the safe sie that after I get a custom rom eveything will work. Now I know I can root but I need to know more.
1. If I clockwork mod it and what not will my service till work?
2. After I custom rom it will I have to put my service again?
Someone please respond and explain to me what I can and can not do or wht to have caution with. Please make sure though.
Everything will work as long as the ROM you flash supports it. Just read the ROM's bug list to be sure what you need is working..
So flashing it will work no problem, if I want ics anything bad there?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
There shouldn't be..the ROM doesn't interfere with the hardware that connects to your service provider that I am aware of..if it's for the Epic4G, it's for the Epic4G...lol just make a nandroid backup with CWM when you get it installed.
If your wanting ics.. cm9.. then there is an alternative carrier fix that needs to be applied for mms to work but yes it should work just fine on a new ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Not necessarily, afaik AOSP roms like ics do not play nicely with data from other carriers. You might want to change the title of your post to "will cricket wireless work on ics"

I used the CM7 ROM from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495754 to flash my brother's epic... for the most part it works, but he occasionally has some issues getting/sending MMS and (claims) he has to go into airplane mode to get internet to work once in a while.
I can confirm that MMS send/receive does work, it just doesn't seem to be 100% reliable. It could be the fact that he's dropped his phone numerous times, enough to crack the screen.
I'm thinking of just getting cm7, but I'm having issues rooting with odin. My computer doest wanna detect my phone.

Did you install the correct drivers? Do you have a better cable than stock. Have you tried other usb ports. =]

Ok so recently I odined back to el30 (as I do at least once a week) and now I can not flash any mtd roms... I have tried redownloading and reflashing the recovery and rom(s) multiple times... cm9 as an example, I flash and it reboots to do the mtd conversion, goes back into cwm and boots... it gets to the boot animation (on aosp roms, tw mtd reboots right after the kernel splash screen) goes through it (sometimes makes it through) and then reboots... after flashing and it won't boot I have to pull battery and that's when the next problem begins... phone will not power on, charge, go into cwm... nothing.... I can get to download by using the slide battery in and out trick... its not the battery, after an odin it charges and boots perfectly (until I try to flash another mtd rom)... not bad downloads... I always check md5 before flashing... anybody have any insight as to what may be going on...
Edit- if you're not going to post something useful to try and help, don't post at all... so don't post stupid things like ... shouldn't be odining once a week". Comments like that don't help and are way off base... I know people that odin 2 times as much as me and have been flashing twice as long so please keep the dimwitted comments to yourself!

Maybe its possible your nand storage is going out? It can only handle so much read/write :-\

I guess that is possible... but I only started flashing roms and such when I signed up for xda... so november I believe... I know some people that have flashed way more than me... wouldn't that result in bml roms not flashing also?

Don't know. Throwing ideas out that are possible. I've seen people where their phone wouldn't run anything than straight up stock :-\
The Epic is finicky lol.

I know that's true.... but can it just start being picky out of nowhere... I have ran cm9, miui4, well let's just say every mtd rom this phone has available... odined last week and now no mtd roms will boot... about to odin an e4gt rom and brick my phone and tell sprint it happened when it was updating to whatever the newest stock rom is... I'M AT A LOSS!

You tried Odin with repartition, the odin cwm 5.027 with reboot unchecked, pop battery out and in and then flashing CleanGB MTD?
You also said after trying the TW install it bricks requiring battery cpr. You could bring it right to Sprint at that point since nothing works then. Unless it only takes 1 in and out to get it into download mode.|

Its usually only one in and out... and yes I have tried odin multiple times and then tried EVERY MTD rom... I did get clean gb to boot once after this started happening... and then later that day shut my phone off and it wouldn't turn back on... now not even clean gb will make it past the splash screen... usually just rebooting the splash screen over and over... sometimes making it to the boot ani and then shutting completely down with the only way to fix being odin with the battery "cpr"... this phone is going through a wall super soon! I would ask if any devs would want it when I upgrade (probably next week) but I don't know how useful it will be without working mtd partition...

That is exactly the method that I always use... I don't bother rooting stock and then flashing... just odin cwm and flash a prerooted build... and before anybody suggests it, yes I have tried rooting stock and then trying... same results...

Nah it isn't that, I know that for a fact... my brother has to odin ALL THE TIME and doesn't have this problem... when I say all the time I mean like once a day... its not that... thanks for the, um, insightful information though...

Yeah used to odin regularly to keep it clean, usually fixes more than destroys. I don't see why mtd won't boot for you. You might have a bad partition table. Your phone must not like mtd. I knew somebody with the same problem, they ended up taking it into sprint and they gave him a new phone.

this would make sense... but I have had multiple mtd roms already... could the partition go bad out of nowhere? And if so how would I go about having sprint replace it... stock bml works fine...

Did you use the victory_8G_100528.pit file and check repartition? It seems like it isn't properly restoring your boot partition when you odin, if you didn't use a .pit file that could be why. There was also a totally bulletproof upgrade program that samsung posted on it's website a quite a while ago to upgrade to Froyo, it should still be floating around xda somewhere. If nothing else works try that.
