I was able to get the phone into download mode. I assume there is something I am able to do with odin to get this working again, not sure what. Can I get some help?
You'll need to give little more information... What did you do prior to this? What build/baseband/ROM are you on? Details.

I'm currently on EB01 with superclean v2.3 nonvoodoo. I was trying to get bln working and I must have flashed the wrong kernel to the phone. I was under the assumption that the kernel worked on all phone models. I have found this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648 which is the stock.tar file. I assume pushing that to the phone using odin will return me to stock?
BLN support doesn't exist yet for 2.2 on the fascinate, since we don't have the kernel source to make custom kernels.
Can you boot into CWM? If so, you can just flash the eb01 kernel and that should fix it. Otherwise, flash back to stock and start over

That would explain where I went wrong.
I either can't boot to CWM or I am doing it wrong. I thought it was hold volume+ power and home.
Thanks for the help btw
So I was able to get it to boot to recovery. Does that mean I can use odin and just flash EB01?
You don't need to odin the whole package, just flash the kernel with cwm. That way you don't have to start from scratch, unless you want to

I got it all back now thanks for the response. I'm sure I would have eventually figured it out on my own eases my mind knowing I can ask a question and get a reply from someone who knows.

Hey Guys,
I have the Samsung Fascinate (verizon). I rooted the phone using the SuperOneClick method and it worked fine. I have Superuser in my apps area. I went into Market and downloaded ROM Manager and then did the Flash Recovery and chose Fascinate. Here is where I get a little confused. I see ROMs on here like Super Clean DL09. I have DL09 already and I just want to flash the ROM but then I see things that you need to flash the radio and kernel with ODIN. I have gone through the stickies but I am a little leary at this point. Any detailed step by step on how to do the radio and kernel and then ROM...or can I just flash the ROM and be fine? Any clarification would be great.

You need to flash ClockworkMod through Odin, and then install Clockworkmod through Rom Manager. After all of that, then you can flash Roms through Rom Manager or you manually boot into Clockworkmod recovery and install that way. You don't flash kernels or roms through odin. You flash through clockworkmod. You don't need to worry about the radio as you already have the correct one unless you are planning on trying Dj05 roms/kernels in which case you would need to flash a Dj05 modem.
Keep reading through threads. There's plenty of directions redgarding flashing CWM. Before you start flashing away, make sure you also read up on what to do if you mess up your phone. It would be wise of you to both make a nandroid backup through CWM and to download a complete stock image of dl09 so you can restore in the event you screw up your phone. Just do some more reading so you are prepared.

SOTK,
Here is a link for the The Unlockr. This is where I got the information from and so far it seems to be correct. You said i have to flash clockwork through Odin...they don't mention it there. Not undermining...just trying to make sense of everything. I am going to do a backup (thanks for the reminder). I was just unsure about the radio and kernel stuff. Let me know what you think about this info here at the link

You can try and do a back up all you want but until you flash clock work mod via odin you will not have any success. As he stated (or she), you do not need to flash the radio as long as you stay on dl09 roms only. Adrynalyne has provided many kernels for us dl09 users in the development section of our phone.
EDIT: follow this link to a TEE and you'll be fine

Interesting site. I prefer xda and android central. The site you gave me didn't seem to be fascinate specific which makes me uncomfortable. There is much better information here and at android central.
Yes, they didn't mention flashing CWM through odin which is wrong. You must do that before you can start flashing roms (unless there is some super new procedure I know nothing about which is unlikely or would have read about it here).

Powell730 and SOTK,
I flashed Clockwork using ODIN...everything went great. Afterwards I did a cold start and held the vol buttons while hitting the power...came right up for me. I performed a backup right away. Just wanted to thank you all again for the clarifications and help. One thing I noticed....since I did this now my soft keys no longer do haptic feedback on them. I checked the settings and it's enabled but still don't feel anything when I hit them.

What he said.. When you flashed cwm it installed a di01 kernel on your phone, you'll need to flash a dl09 kernel and you'll get your haptic feedback back.

Can someone help me find a clockworkmod flashable version of 2.1 update 1? I searched all over, the one by eugene in the bible has been deleted and I read on the thread that vibrantdump.zip link lead me to that its only odin flashable? I have it, will it flash via clockwork? Sending my phone back and want to semi return it to stock at least. Thx

Sorry I can't help you as I don't have what you're looking for. However, why not just use odin? It's just as easy as clockwork to use.
Just follow this guide to the letter and all will be well, I promise...

Go to this page to download the TRUE stock rom. I think it is in ODIN's format but it should work easity just as clockwork. I don't know if it's the same version as the one you have but give ODIN a chance, it was very simple for me and I'm practically a noob.

What's the zip file? Odin files usually contain a pit and a tar file. clockwork's zip have a bunch of folders and files, I think.
Yea you cannot use CWM to flash an Odin package. Use Odin to get back to 2.1.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
KA6 is official now - so no need to go all the way back to 2.1 to return phone. But you'll still need to use Odin to get the completely stock version on.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So, could you flash back to stock with the current 2.2 update from Samsung? Or would flashing back to 2.1 be better?
vibrantdump.zip isn't an actual rom - it's just an archive containing the vibrant file tree. It doesn't have any scripts to install or anything.
Edit: If you're sending it back to Samsung for warranty work, you could always use a stock (not deodex/root/etc) JI6 clockwork mod image. KA6 is official, but not required.
I don't believe its possible to use CWM to flash back to 2.1 from 2.2 in any case because it doesn't backup the kernel. ODIN is the best (perhaps only?) way, but again not necessary since KA6 2.2 is now official.

You can flash a 2.1 rom with kernel such as fusion. Then flash your stock backup and a stock ji6 kernel.

Well I kinda told em that it had 2.1 update 1 lol, my reason for sending back was the gps and according to tmo cust serv the 2.2 release has a fix, I dont pay for a warranty, I guess its just a defective exchange. It also gets super hot above the battery when im really pushing it, that may be why they issued the return because I told them about that too. so if I cant flash the vibrantdump.zip, what would be a rom that simulates 2.1 the best? I cant get to a pc so I cant odin until wednesday and need to get it resembling stock before then. I know I cant lose clockwork recovery but just wanted it to say the right stuff in phone info and have the right startup shutdowns you know? Am I just worrying too much?
Edit: I cant kies mini the new update, no pc, there isnt a clockwork flashable version of it yet is there? could tell them I got it ota while waiting for new phone

umm, most likely the computer being in the middle of destroying itself.
I have heard of a lot of reports from people that loose functionality of their radio and even more drastic problems after flashing some ODIN packages...
Now, i don't know which ODIN package is responsible, i know that bubby323 did make a faulty package, somewhere down the line..
ODIN is a last resort... Us here can get you up and working most of the time without even having to open up... ClockWorkRecovery is our friend
If you absolutely need to ODIN, What i suggest is going into the package with 7-zip, and checking whether or not there is a modem file... if there is, delete it... That's just my advise
Also, i have had a couple of reports of people getting fried from with CWM.... As of right now, i would tread lightly in there.... Backups and Restores should be fine, but don't do anything crazy in there If you do need to do anything does not require edify (3.0+) scripting, i suggest using the blue recovery...
This is all just my own personal opinions and such, do whatever you want
Thank you for the warning

This happened to me too, I was only able to get to the boot screen and it would freeze, and it would only let me get into clock work mod, make sure you have a rom in the root of your SD and flash the rom in clock work mod, the new rom should boot up.

if you have a fairly recent cmw backup and you are on cmw 3.1.0.1 (purple if I got the ver. # wrong) try advanced restore, and just restore the one at the top of the list. Worked for me when I flashed a bad kernel. Good luck!
It'd be nice if you were more specific on what you did before you screwed your phone up so we wouldn't have 10 plus people figuring out basic crap smh. -_-
Quit being such a noon. If you had the smarts to flash a rom....then figure it out. I've made the same mistakes. Better make sure the rom is actually for your phone......noob.
Make sure you have the right kernel for your rom. Most of the times when you get stuck at the samsung logo is because you don't have the right kernel.
