I know there are alot of soft brick threads but so far none of the methods have helped me.
I installed bonix 1.6 w/ voodoo and it worked just fine. I didnt like it, so i went into rom manager and told it to flash my recovery that i did before the rom. well when it did this it failed half way through. when i rebooted the stock lock screen came up with the stock wallpaper. but then alot of force closes came up (im assuming because it didnt put everything back on the phone after fail).
I have tryed to flash stock roms, fryo 2.2, j16 roms and still nothing. when the phone boots after oden flash it goes through the bootup process and then goes to a blank screen. when i touch one of the buttons on bottom they all light up and stay on.
oh and i have stock recovery....
am i screwed? and thank you in advance for anything that is helpfull
Did you disable voodoo before flashing the recovery?
i disabled it before i flashed bonix but i didnt before i flashed recovery
anyone? anything?
check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782027
now go to "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out."
And I recommend step 1 it won't take more than 20 minutes, been there, done that.
thank you!! worked great
Hey guys i know "Help!" threads get annoying (at least in the Fascinate forum they do.) but i could really use some help.
Rooted my friends phone today (root,clockwork,rom manager), and was going to install regular JAC kernal /voodoo w/o color fix.. I made sure the phone had the smaller NAND chip. Installation went fine (phone booted, voice told me it was switching to ext. 4.) and the voice said voodoo was complete. The phone was stuck at the S logo for about an hour and it was then i decided voodoo was botched. From there i rebooted to clockwork and went to restore the nandroid i made when i rooted. The nandroid got stock at one of the Data files for about 30 minutes. (i have a feeling this is around where i messed things up myself) Decided screw it and was going to flash JI6(T959UVJI6) and the stock kernal with ODIN. Now the phone boots past the S logo but the screen stays black and only the backlight menu buttons light up. It wont go past there. Any quick help is appreciated.
You didn't disable the lagfix I'm assuming.
Odin Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick, then Odin JFD, install ROM of you're choosing.
Did you even try to search for a fix before posting???

If you can still boot into clockwork recov. you can save it by pushing the undo voodoo zip file that was mentioned about. Assuming that u have adb access. If not odin froyo that doesnt brick tepartition checked. Turn off. Boot back in download. Odin stock jdf. Ji6 isnt a standalone rom. Its more like a no wipe update. Lucky his vibrant wasnt hardware locked lol. He will have a 90% chance of losing EVERYTHING
Had to odin flash froyo that doesnt brick then jfd and yep he lost all his data but he didnt have much to begin with. Now happily running Fusion. Thanks for the help guys!
hey, im trying to reflash to stock rom, but...odin got stuck at factoryFS should i unplug it?
also im useing
PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA:CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5
PHONE: MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5
and CSC: CSC_I9000OXAJM1.tar.md5
and checked repartition
help?
the phone is warm....and its not like stuck, its just no moving from there and its been like.....30min D:...should unplug??? or leave
When you check repartition it isn't supposed to finish. Unplug, enter download mode again and flash, this time without repartition.
Sure it should finish... unplug go back to download mode. Bfore u open odin again close all running instances of kies and nps

It shouldnt. When you REpartition it just repartitions and requirs a restart before further flashing.

Its generally a good idea to ask for help with rom in its thread. From what I heard (dont use it) there are problems with 8.1 versions.
ight i flashed 8.0 and its working again ..thanks

Mine allways finishes and the phone boots on the rom i flashed. Could it be that it only finishes on 2.1 roms? Since i only repartition when my phone is bricked and i allways used my stock rom for that

I flashed darky's 8.1 too and got very strange problems with it and the phone did not go past the SGS logo, it kept giving me the force close vibration, no matter how many times i tried to flash JPY with or without the 512 PIT file and repartition it still would not work.(yes i made sure all partitions were back to RFS)
After flashing an older ROM JP6 with the 803 PIT everything worked fine.
After this i could flash JPY (no PIT no repartition)
there seems a few problems with darkys new 8.1 ROM, the best way to solve this is to flash darkys 8.0 ROM and then upgrade to 8.1 NO WIPE, there seems to be issues with the WIPE version. but the NO WIPE version is fine, im running it now.. 2 days almost and no probs whatsoever
I have tried everything I can think of. Tried different radios, different ROM's, everything! I'm at wits-end! Every time I upgrade from DL09 to ANY 2.2 leak or ROM (and I mean ANY), the install goes smoothly but after the boot the screen sleeps and will not wake. I have duplicated it on every available leak/ROM and none work. Please! Does anyone have any ideas? I want some of that Froyo goodness.
Did you wipe both data and cache from CWM at least twice before installing any Froyo rom?

Are you talking about the first boot after loading the ROM, and the screen is black? The first boot always takes longer, and most of these ROMs don't have a boot animation. Are you letting the phone boot up completely?
Odin to DI01. Root with Adryn's new root instructions. Flash EB01 modem and your ROM of choice. Should fix everything like it did for me.
Yes. I wiped and wiped.

No, not the first boot. It boots completely and works just fine until it sleeps and then the phone wakes but the screen won't.

Ahhhhh. Now there's something I haven't tried. I will give this a shot and post the result. Thank you for your help in advance!
still dead
Ok. I Odin restored DI01 and rebooted. Everything went fine. I then installed the EB01 modem and CWM-all via odin. All good so far. I booted into Red CWR and installed super clean EB01 and rebooted. Again, the screen will NOT wake from sleep! I'm gonna pull my hair out!
HELP!

This might be a pain, but try doing all of that again but this time flashing a stock EB01 rom. Play around with it and make sure there's no issues, then flash a superclean rom.
That's what I did when I had your issue and it was resolved like that.
hey fellas
i just went to go from 2.3 back to darky ROM and my phone is having a fit, its constantly rebooting at the first boot screen, i still got download mode though
no matter what i try nothing works.

Are any of those stock rom's you are trying, or are they all Darky's roms?
Flash a stock rom, hopefully that will get you up and running. After that, format your sd card.
couple of them are stock, none worked.
downloading a march 2011 stock firmware from samfirmware now, aswell as EZBase rom
If darkys is a 2.2.1 based rom then you need to flash to that base first.
Try a stock 2.2.1 firmware in odin with all 3 files and tick repartition. I use jpu and always works.

MY fix for broken phones is .
Use Odin flash Eclair with pit 512 and repartition checked .
Phone works flash base Froyo .
Phone works you can now customize as required .
Choose a rom this time that does not kill phone .
jje
thanks fellas, will try that.
i've flashed about 5 ROMS and tryed repartion and none have worked, will try a eclair, gotta go download one
ok, JPU did not work. 3 files, re-partion and 512 pit
oh dear
When you say jpu didn't work, did the process actually start in Odin and complete?
If not, just reboot download mode again, close and restart odin and try again.

yes, happened that to me too. If it;s not starting anymore, than you must rewrite it's bootloader with JTAG...JIG won;t help. The point is, when you tried to go back on 2.2.1 you should first flash the bootloader with heimdal. With bootloader updated you shouldn't have any problem flashing back JM8 or something
sorry for you

may i ask what JTAG is?
There might be answer to your misery, check Yovi's thread, he found hard reset method for totally bricked phone.

Edit. Just read you can not power up. Go with Jobiza's post.
Flash just a kernel in PDA ie voodoo or speedmod k13. Nothing else and auto reboot checked. After that flash away.
This happened to me and I tried different combos for hours till this method and it worked.
Good luck mate.

Don't know did you tried it, but if you are able to go to Download Mode, download JVK with bootloaders from XDA, start Odin check Re-Partition and Phone Bootloader Update select filef from new FW connect phone and it should do the magic I hope.
