It all started when I was going to disable the Voodoo lagfix to make a CWM backup. I disabled it and then rebooted, and when it came back on, it was back to TW launcher and most of the apps were gone. My market is gone, and when going thru the setup wizard, it doesn't give me an option to log into Google, so my contacts are missing too. I removed voodoo first, then did the Odin process to return to stock. None of this worked, still the same, so I flashed the nandroid stock image. Now I get an error message when I boot up that says "UID's on system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." I have done the factory data wipe from CWM but can not get into the one in settings, as this just FC's. Please help!!!!!!! I also don't have any keyboards or Gmail........
Wipe data from recovery 2e then flash stock kernel, recovery, then system with Odin should b fine

I wiped data many times, restored all the stock stuff thru odin, and followed adrenalyne's post on completely removing voodoo. I don't get the error message anymore now when I boot up, but still don't have the market or a keyboard. One other weird thing - when I try to go to settings and privacy, it FC's
I also do not have the option to sign in to Google in the start up menu so no contacts either......
I had a similar problem.
Tried using the directions given in another thread to flash back to stock using Odin. In the end, I ended up being stuck in the "Setup Wizard"...there were no forward or back buttons once you hit the Account Setup screen. If I received a call, and hung up and immediately hit the "Messaging" button that shows up on that screen, it would FC.
Ended up taking it back into the store...got a new one.
Was stuck...didn't know what to do.
I don't know what to do, but perhaps you can go to the mIRC channel tomorrow and get some "live" help. Hopefully you'll get some help from someone there! irc freenode, #samsung-fascinate
ktez: your mbr is still stuck (or was) at the voodoo version. The post about fully installing Voodoo should take care of it, but very brifely I'd do the following..
Remove and /sdcard/Voodoo directory
Reinstall Voodoo (flash kernel if necesscary), let it convert and boot fully up
Create the disable_lagfix file, reboot, and let it fully boot up
Reboot into CWM recovery
via adb, mount /dbdata and delete it
- mkdir /dbdata
- mount -t rfs -o nosuid,nodev,check=no /dev/block/stl10 /dbdata
- rm -rf /dbdata/
in CWM, wipe data and cache
flash stock kernel (I'd recommend the CWM stock kernel, but pure stock will work)
reboot
go into initial setup, then exit out, and go to settings - privacy - wipe system / restore to factory
Form this point you're back to stock, you can either restore a nandroid, or start over.
Thank you - I didn't have internet access all day so I just went to Verizon after work and swapped it out for a new phone. I guess Voodoo isn't something to mess with - I did follow all those instructions from the post and still had no luck but on the bright side I learned how to use adb shell now: ) I think I will just leave this phone stock for now........

Ok I had my phone rooted and had voodoo on it. The phone was having issues downloading from the market, plus I couldnt turn the phone on unless i had it pluged in. So I tried to reset it using odin and the Stock-i500-VZW-Recovery.tar.md5. Now when I turn the phone on i get the android application has an uxpected error and I cant get past that. What do I do? Or how can I get my phone back to stock so I can re-root it.

Jeff,
See this post for returning to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204. I would do this as a last resort only.
Good Luck!
that is what got me to this problem. there are multiple files there what one do i use?
You apply them in the order they are listed.
1. Apply the "/system" file first
2. Apply the "kernel" file second
3. Apply thie "recovery" file third
This restores stock /system, the stock kernel, and the stock recovery. Pretty much brings you back to stock. Is that what you're trying to do?
I was having the same issues with USB cable looking like it was plugged in so I couldn't reboot unless it was plugged. I tried the voodoo uninstall and screwed up my data partition.
I ended up restoring the CWM_Kernel and Di01 Stock update which brought me back to stock with root and OTA update from Verizon BUT my Data partition is screwed and I have no internal app memory. Also, I have an Nandroid backup that I tried to install but that causes the FC issues that you mentioned. My guess is that my nandroid backup will work once I fix the data partition.
Later tonight, I'm going to try to put the stock MBR back onto the phone which I think you need to do as well.
However, it sounds like you didn't complete the whole recovery process and only applied one file. I'm an android newby so you can't take my advice to the bank but I think you need to restore all the files if you're going to flash with Odin per those instructions.
For me, I had CWM loaded so I just wiped the kernel and put back the DI01 ROM which put me back to stock albeit with some work to do to get my data partition back in shape. I hope this helped, for what it's worth.
Since you've already got the original.mbr copied and the stock.zip flashed...
Boot into CWM recovery and wide data/cache.
If you have a CWM backup of your phone in a rooted state, restore that backup through CWM.
Reboot, and go into "settings" if possible at this point, and factory reset.
This got me back from market failure/0.00/fc hell after utterly failing to heed the voodoo warnings and trying to revert to stock without undoing the lagfix.
You'll likely need to use the unsigned d101 apk if your backup/flash is dh12. The OTA update did not work for me at that point.

My question is do i use the phone. pda or csc buttons for these files?
Ok in Odin use the PDA button for the /system
but what button do i use in odden to load the kernal.tar and recovery.tar
i loaded the pit, and installed all the files using the pda button one after the other. now my phone get no service and it still isnt wiped. what is going on? how do i get the phone back to out of the box condition.
also, now i cant do a factory wipe/reset, im getting the error message Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Gotta do the mbr fix from the 0.00 internal memory topic and then restore nandroid recovery.
Oh, and it is PDA for all three files, not just system.

Use the uninstaller form Here:

If that does not solve it, follow the steps here:

A coworker of mine installed the OTA update Verizon was pushing down, after rebooting the phone was stuck at the Samsung logo.
We can get the phone into download mode, but recovery errors and none of the buttons respond. (Similar to this thread)
If need be I can take a screenshot or type out the error text he receives trying to go into recovery (stock)
A little more info i can give as is: his phone is stock rom, but I do believe he has it rooted.
I have flashed roms onto my phone (Captivate) so I am familiar with working with Odin, but the problem is that he has data on the phone he needs to recover.
ADB does not recognize the phone, but his computer does seem to detect it.
Does anyone have any advice on getting something to recognize the phone so we can pull data, or is there a rom/setting that would leave his data as is?
If you odin a rom or even flash a rom it doesnt touch any of the data on the SDcard. he will loose call history and sms history. Pictures and things will be left on the sdcard untouched.
This is the most complete and up to date guide for the fassy:

Thanks for the heads up.
Just to be clear we are talking about the internal SD card right? Not the removable one.
He is apparently mostly concerned with losing his app data. As long as that will be safe I can have him up and running in a matter of minutes, especially with your link.
NO app data will be gone as well
What rom did he have or was it stock?
when i said the sd card i was referring to the removable one.
I figured that was the case
He is running the stock Froyo rom.
Would it be possible to use Odin (or some other tool) to push CWM onto the phone and maybe get it to mount from there?
He did say Odin recognizes a device when it's plugged in.
You may be past the point of no return. Since the phone is boot-looping and not actually booting up there may be no way to root the phone to flash CWM.
Odin is unfortunately a one-way street. Its designed to flash data ON to the phone, Not pull data off.
the phone does not have to be rooted to odin cwm....that being said, op try odining cwm2.5.1.x red and three finger into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik, then go to my guide section 1, use ccampos powerwashed ed05 froyo. That rom is close enough to what stock froyo is, so it might work! Or you can try geewiz froyo also, but one of those might get the phone back up and running without completely wiping everything.
just fyi once you odin a full rom all app data is gone. I have never attempted to pull app data from the mounting of the internal memory using cwm.

Thats why I suggested to try and flash a close to stock froyo rom in cwm without wiping data. odin will do a full wipe, so thats his only option that I am aware of.
Could he odin a recovery, make a back up, flash a new close to stock rom, advanced restore data? It would probable have alot of issues but may give him the opportunity to make a backup.

my co-worker had something similar happen and this is what I had him do. It didn't fair too well but it was worth a shot.
Ended up using odin to push a stock verizon rom and started over. Then I MADE him put cwm on his device and make a backup immediately incase it were to happen again.
What's the best way to return my P7510 to unrooted stock? I have to send it in for repair.

I've pored over the linked thread, and literally DOZENS other, here...
I think the one factor that may be causing me troubles is that my device was (IS) encrypted. It was also rooted, and had CWM installed, etc. Alas, I tried to boot into recovery, to take a nandroid backup in preparation for doing a factory reset (trying to do some additional testing / analysis around encryption, and its impacts on rooting / device management in a corporate environment).
That's when Bad Things started. First, it was a boot loop. I put it in Download mode, and used ODIN to flash both the CWM (first) and then stock recovery - but in no case can I get the device into recovery mode. When selected, the screen just goes black...
I haven't yet tried nvflash - and I'm wondering if that might be the tool for the job, since ODIN seems unable to influence the encrypted /data partition.
No concerns for data loss - I have a full Titanium backup ready and waiting if I can just get the thing to reboot...
Thanks in advance for any insight / guidance!

If you have your Titanium backup copied to your computer, then you can restock the entire tab using ODIN(follow the unrooting instructions in the above linked thread). Then copy back the Titanium backup and you should be good to go again
One would think. Alas, Odin seems to choke on the encrypted partition - doesn't seem to be able to restore /overwrite the filesystem.
I finally caved and just sent it back, and had Verizon send me another.

I am not sure where things started to go fubar (I moved to the Windows phone for a while but now I am back), but things on my rooted note 3 dont work like they should. For example, I cannot setup my work email (enterprise) or school email (microsoft exchange webmail) because it keeps on crashing. I have to reinstall the gmail email app every now and again because that goes haywire and the system update check crashes. I have frozen a few apps but I unfroze and it still doesnt work.
Well to my real question if all that was just mumbo jumbo, how can I reset my phone back to stock (like apps, settings, etc) without losing root? Is it as simple as just selecting factory reset in the settings menu?
Well since your rooted how about flashing a stock rom,but make a backup and I'd your content with the stock rom then make a backup of that.

Doing a factory data reset will reset the phone back to what it was like out of the box. However It won't make you lose root.
Yes, you can factory reset. Root is in /system files, where when you wipe you only lose /userdata and /cache
Reboot into Recovery mode, select Wipe /data and /system and /cache and dalvik cache if you can, or make a selection similar to "Factory Reset". Be sure to not wipe your SD Card(s)
When you reboot your phone, it will be OOBE(out of box experience) so be sure to backup any call logs, texts, and user apps ahead of time. DO NOT backup/restore "system" apps as it will cause problems

Actually, do not wipe system unless you have a rom to flash on your ext sd. If you do, the only way to use your phone again is by using odin.

Good catch, sorry about misleading info there...always have your custom ROM on your SD Card
Thanks guys. I would have done the same mistake.
I have frozen some of the files, do I need to unfreeze them before I do this?
bump
Bumps allowed only once a day per forum rules. You're new, so we won't beat you...this time. lol
To answer your question, I don't think it would matter. I believe the settings that hold an app as frozen get wiped when you factory reset. If I'm wrong, it really shouldn't matter. What apps are frozen?
<Note3>
A lot was frozen but I did it anyways. I'm now hunting for what can safely be frozen so I don't fubar my phone
