Flashed back to stock with odin, now force cloeses... Help Please

I flashed my fascinate back to stock with odin and now when i boot up i just get a ton of force closes and they keep coming up and wont let me continue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You should have posted this in the General section.
Now, what did you flash to stock from? Were you using voodoo beforehand?

IME, FC hell after an odin restore is due to the PIT file not being used.
Open Odin
Go back into Download Mode on your phone.
Hit the PIT button and select the PIT file you downloaded from the OP of the odin topic.
Hit the PDA button and select the "system" tar you downloaded from teh OP of the odin topic.
Hit Start.
Wait for it to finish (system takes a bit).
Reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section and i was on vodoo and removed it and flashed a differernt rom was most recently on the zinc rom. i also tried to re run odin with pit and still force closeing. thanks for the help so far

Only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is wiping data/cache from both Stock and CWM recovery. You could also try wiping dalvik cache (CWM-advanced) or nuking the contents of dbdata...but that requires either adb or root access and a phone that isn't constantly fc'ing on you.
Have you tried restoring a nandroid backup?

If he was on vodoo then he write have to flash back to a vodoo kernel and then make the disable lagfix folder and reboot. Then revert to stock kernel right?

I think that a good question here would be whether or not you had voodoo installed. Tell us what you are/where running so we can diagnose and help u work through the problem. No worries though, this can be fixed.

ok so orignally flashed vodoo and when it was first put out then i (what i thought was) removed vodoo and flashed the Zinc V2.1.3 Fascinate Rom then i went from that to Blackhole Version 1.2 Rom after i flashed to blackhole and before i did any restore of apps i had 0 internal mem left and couldnt figure out why so i decieded to run odin to put the phone back to 100% stock and now all fc's

I had the same issue today, to gix it I booted to recovery and did "factory reset" it wiped the data and no issues since. I have also changed to the atupid fast kernel instead of voodoo. Hope it helps. I suggest you try it...

Help...problem flashing rom

Using Odin to flash I9000XXJPY. Odin finishes correctly and the phone restarts and goes into the recovery screen. I get two error messages.
Message 1:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBATA:
Message 2:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
If I reboot system it gets stuck on the logo screen.

Sounds to me like the first step would be to reflash the ROM and see if that solves it.
If you still have the same trouble, flash a recovery ROM such as your original stock ROM or Darky's Resurrection and go from there.
Of course, more technically minded types here will likely have better/more complete advice.
Good luck

Tried that several times and didn't work. Any other tips.

Flash a stock 2.1 rom using 3 files plus pit file and repartition ticked. I'd format the internal sd and do another factory restore then to make the phone as clean as possible before re flashing jpy. If using 3 files use pit file with repartition ticked. If one file skip pit and ensure repartition is un ticked. I've done this loads of times to get back to stock rom after custom roms. Good luck, hope this helps

Flash JPU first with repartition ticked using 512.pit, then flash the JPY you have without repartition. JPU also has the 3-button activated bootloaders and works great... no need to go back to 2.1, imho.

Im having this same issue and flashed many combos but still not working.
It seems the int sd is not formatted correctly and wont mount.

Yeah you can do that too. It doesn't really matter which you flash to as long as it's the 3 files with pit and repartition. It's only a base rom to enable you to get the phone clean and to flash over again

Use Odin 1.7 from my signature.

Which Firmware you ON & what did you flash?

[Q] DL17 flash issues

First I want to thank everyone on this forum for incredible work. You guys have made my phone awesome.
I've been trying to flash back to dl17 in order to get the ec09 update. (crashed computer lost my original nandroid)
I've been using the files on ciscogee's database but have been unable to get it to work.
What I have done - wipe cache, dalvik, data.
When I tried flashing with repartition checked Odin stalled at set partition.
Flashed without it checked, phone booted into recovery but says update.zip gone.
Not sure what is going on. Scoured the forums for answers found nothing. Tried using the i500.pit same result.
If someone could help that would be great.
If it's too much trouble I'll just wait till someone makes an odin package for ec09 that I can flash over ec07.
Gracias

Well this is what i did, i hope it works for you:
I flashed EC07 odex "RELPRODUCTION" with the i500 pit with repartition on.
Then i flashed dl17 stock image files with i500 pit repartition off
and.........just rebooted and it worked just fine

if you repartitioned on the dl17 flash, you're gonna have to flash ec07 stock. dl17 doesn't have bootloaders or params.

Brilliant.
Worked like a charm. Many thanks.

I don't think the .pit file does anything if you don't allow for re-partitioning.

If you have CWM , go to wipe data/factroy reset, wipe cache & dalvik & reboot.

try to flash back ICS rom, if not search far a 3 parts rom to flash it through odin PDA, PHONE & CSC .

What I don't get is that I can't flash stock roms through Odin but everything else can be flashed stock recovery, custom recovery, stock kernel just not stock roms very strange.

If you can flash stock recovery , boot into it & wipe data & reboot.

Had the same problem over the past 24hrs
(I have a GT-N8013 with stock ICS firmware root injected installed, when I went to check if a JB update had come out it didn't recognize the stock root injected firmware as stock and proceeded to try and install ICS without root through TWRP and continued to loop through recovery and installation.. unsuccessfully)
I am now posting this from the GT-N8013 so here's how to do it:
1) Use ODIN to flash CWM (Google them if you don't know what they are. I am new and cant post links yet)
2) Boot Your Note 10.1 into recovery by holding down Volume Up and Power, wait until the samsung logo shows up twice, then release the power button and you should end up in recovery.
3) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4) Clear Cache
5) Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Repeat Steps 3-5 twice (three times total)
6) Reboot and voila! You are back to your original rom all nice and neat.

Tried that as well no go still goes to black screen after the screen that says Samsung galaxy note 10.1. I hear boot sound but Samsung doesn't show up just blank screen.

[Q] SoftBrick used Kies- CWM can't get recovery mode

Hi all,
Had a number of issues with my SGS4, decided it's time to wipe it out and start fresh. Thankfuly I have everything on my SD card.
Long story short, I softbricked it, none of my backups are working. I read that if I launch KIES and follow instructions it loads a new firmware and OS (factory). The problem is, I can't get it into "download" or recovery mode. I have Clockworkmod recovery on this phone.
How do I get the CWM removed in order to reboot into the default download mode that came from factory? The phones will reboot and sit at the AT&T logo. I've done everything I could think of, been 4 hours and not making progress. Please help me remove CWM and or boot into download mode so I can try and restore my SGS4. Thank you all:crying:

Did you make backups in cwm? Can you restore any of them?

Yes I tried to recover via my back ups. Some say md5 mismatch which I can't fix until I get into the OS. Other ones restore, however upon reboot it gets stuck at the ATT logo.
I am downloading the stock ROM onto a SD card as we speak, hoping to flash to it using CWM. Ultimately I would like to remove CWM and use KIES to restore/reinstall my firmware. I'm told this is considered a soft brick.

What stock rom did you download? Stock roms are generally flashed thru Odin. You don't need to get rid of cwm.

Looks like the stock rom? Figured I'd load it onto my SD card, then use CWM to flash to it. Think it'll work? It's downloading as we speak.
In an ideal word, I'd use KIES to do the firmware restore and upgrade but CWM is blocking me from my standard/stock download recovery (power button home button and volume up button)

Don't know stock roms.net. Next time use sammobile.com. my guess is the zip won't flash thru cwm. Most of them you need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip and use that in Odin. You'll need 7-zip to extract it.

Well, long story short I wasn't able to mount the external SD card from CWM. Thankfully after wiping the device and cache over and over and reloading my backups over and over it finally loaded and by passed the software loop.
I am happy it's no longer a $600 piece of plastic.So, I am hoping to do a fresh image install (downloading firmware now) and doing better backups. Any recommendations on a new boot manager outside of CWM?
Any ideas for a bullet proof (or close as possible) plan to keep this from happening again? Thanks all

Bump- anyone
