[Q] Boot Loop Issue after Installing Themes - Fascinate General

Hey Everyone.. not sure what I did here.
I was rocking Superclean 2.3 NV with out any issues, decided to venture to the world of Voodoo and install the 2.4 voodoo version. Ever since than I have been unable to install themes/restore backups/install new rooms. I get stuck in a boot loop. I then go into RED CWM to restore my backup and get stuck in a boot loop there as well. I have since flashed the EB01 deoxed via odin to try to get rid of VoodDoo and have the disable_lagfix file in the voodoo folder and flashed back Red CWM though Odin. Able to use phone fine, but as soon as I flash a rom/theme I get stuck in the same boot loop and unable to restore backup.
I next ODIN'd DL09 full package, manually got root/cwm and flashed 2.4NV and updated to EB01 Modem. Attempted to update to Blackhole 4.21 with lagfix_disable and red CWM and got stuck in the bootloop again.
What am I doing wrong?

Restoring from a CW Recovery Backup

I backed up my DI18 stock install using CW Recovery. I then installed a leaked version of DK17. I'd like to return to DI18, but when I try to do a recovery the phone hangs on the Samsung logo (after I finish the recovery and reboot).
Do I need to use Odin to go back to stock DI18 and THEN restore my phone using CW Recovery?
I just did this last night after I noticed Froyo to be too buggy. YOu have to back to stock DI18, root it then install clockwork. Then simply restore, mine works great.
Thanks! That's what I thought. I figured it was a firmware conflict or something that was blocking my boot up to 2.1/DI18.
I'm installing Clockwork now.

[Q] stuck at stock recovery..

my phone is stuck at stock recovery screen..
when i turn on the phone, samsung logo appears, then right after it takes me to
android system recovery screen... it's not booting T_T tried Odin stock recovery,
nandroid.. nothing seems to get my phone to boot up. help me please !!
What happened prior to cause this scenario? Any custom roms or kernels etc...
I have the same problem,
it happend after a couple of rom flashes. i think the reason is in voodoo kernal. Tried to flash it with odin and then remove, but no luck...
it exchanged the master boot record on the device so it wont boot properly.
Tried to change mbr to original one with adb shell, but it says "device not found"
What am I doing wrong?
HELP US PLEASE!!!!
ive updated to dj05, flashed voodoo 5, then i was flashing the boot animation through
rom manager. for some reason it got stuck in the process saying 'finding zip file'.. so i
pulled out the battery.. once i reboot it, i knew something was wrong with the phone
at this point. it keeps getting me to the voodoo lagfix recovery which is all red color, i went to irc and got help getting rid of voodoo so its back to stock recovery and pushed in stock files through odin. but still when i turn on the phone, after samsung logo it keeps getting me to the stock recovery screen instead of booting the system..
You are selecting PDA within odin correct? Have you followed this procedure? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204&highlight=odin
Yes i did everything.. i uninstalled voodoo by flashing novoodoo 1129 .. this is how the stock recovery came back from the voodoo lagfix recovery. is something wrong in the process..? do you think

This should help you. I fixed practically the same problem with this.
It's a magic wand, that'll take you back in time when you had your virgin unrooted fascinate

temporary brick from reverting from froyo

Heres my situation:
I installed the froyo rom without installing the new CWM first. So i tried renaming the new cwm and replacing it with update.zip to no success, and never reverted back to the old one. Now i decided to revert back to stock, install the new CWM, and than flash the froyo rom. But something went wrong.
I flashed odin stock-i500-vzw-system.tar.md5, and upon reboot it sounds the vzw sound, but stays in the samsung bootup screen, and it won't go into recovery because my update.zip is broken.
My odin for some reason fails every time i try to flash the old recovery, or the old kernels, it only wants to flash system.tar.
Thats as detailed as i can get it for now, any help would be great.
look around for some different stock odin files. i had a hard time with flashing cwm files as my phone just wouldnt accept them for some reason.
i'm gonna try adrenalyn's system.tar, kernel and CWM DI01 package, see if this works. keep fingers crossed

[Q]SOLVED Weird thing with recovery

Hi, so I'm running eb01 superclean v2.3 non voodoo and something weird keeps happening with my recovery.
I had originally had DL30 superclean 1.0 on the phone, and whenever I rebooted into recovery, it would give me the blue, (default?) recovery screen
I used the instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951194
and got a red CWR still in the DL30 rom, then I flashed the rom found in that thread.
Then, I wanted to install superclean 2.3 on the phone, so I rebooted into recovery, and the blue(default?) recovery was on yet again, so I reinstalled the CWM files from the thread I linked and went through the process again, and got superclean 2.3
Now, when I reboot into recovery it is blue once again! Do I have to keep doing those instructions every time I try flashing a new rom? Thanks!

It's normal as of right now. I think it has to do with how ROM Manager boots into recovery. You're better off an explanation from jt or Adrynalyne.
The best way around this is to shut down. Then hold the sound keys to get into recovery.
Thank you!

I keep having to ODIN my Fascinate (Now can't flash CWMR!!!)

I have been running AOKP on my Fascinate for a while now, but something wierd is going on with the device. After about a week of running AOKP (I tried the Hacksung ICS builds as well), the Fascinate begins to bootloop, so I have to go through and ODIN (cannot wipe and reflash because it continues to bootloop after wipe and reflash) then flash AOKP again. The process repeats itself after roughly a week of use.
I went back and Odin'ed to 2.3.5, but ever since then, I have been unable to install a working recovery on my device. I can flash the recovery fine (Voodoo, and CWM fixed for CM7), but when it boots up, and I try to flash a file, the screen goes black for a minute, then goes back to the recovery menu, like it is rebooting recovery. I've tried Heimdall and Odin.
Anyone got any tips? Am I just forgetting something?

in odin did you use the atlas.pit repartition file when you flashed back to stock?
if not then try that. also, which CWM are you trying to flash?
I know my fassy had problems with certain versions, but a 2.5.x version always worked for me no matter what happened to my phone.
This guide always worked for me.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
