ok, im confused....i just sbfed to get ready for this rom and once it finally booted back up i still had my old wallpaper on it, still running launcherpro and i get the message saying that dx overclocker was going to app ly the overclock in 90 seconds and so on. it did have the stock status bar and so on. but what i did right away i just did a factory reset and wiped cache in the recovery screen and now i seem to be back to factory..i just checked and dont have root..is this normal operation for sbf?
yeah, the sbf takes you back to factory stock, no root. it is just like it's fresh from motorola's oven

But the weird thing is after sbf still had my apps and settings..had to wipe in order to get it all factory fresh.
Are you sure you did a full sbf rather then the system sbf. Full sbf should wipe all data along with system.

This is the file I used, VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf. It came from rootz wiki in a folder called the gift2. Is it the same thing after I wiped the data and cache or do I need to figure out how to get a full sbf?

that is the full sbf. after you've successfully sbf'd, you have to boot into recovery and do a wipe data and cache. that will complete the process of returning it to stock.

Ok all is normal then! Thanks guys
Thanks for taking the time out to do that. I highly suggest that anyone who is having weird problems like slide reboot, battery manager FCs and whatever weird stuff some people have reported to SBF. I know it is a huge pain in the butt. It may help with some of those weird bugs that some users have and if you do want to track down the slide to unlock problem it will help with that too. The slide reboot problem has been something found in the stock ROM and other custom ROMs so it is not unique to this ROM. If we all work together maybe we can find what is causing it.
If you anyone would like to test what could be the final build of 2.0.1 ROM then please join us on IRC... http://webchat.freenode.net/ #teamdefuse & #fissiontest
Thanks!

sorry, im a newb, how do i download from here?
edit..neverming..install process same as 1.2.1?
Alright, so....
I did a complete voodoo uninstall per Adrenalyns thread, ODIN back to stock, re-root. On either DI01 or DJ05 I have no market download ability, my Gtalk wont open (immediately closes) and nothing I do seems to work. I have ODIN'd about four times now, and no luck so far,
Any ideas?

Lol. I've tried everything I think. This is new to me. Will do this again and pst results.
Edit: No dice. Market says starting download, but never pulls anything down. Try to open Gtalk, and it just immediately closes down. Going to look at steps in next post. I'm really frazzled at this point.
You could also try the three step process here (post 2):

Root explorer is the only file manager I have tried that can do step 2 easily though... And you may not have it installed given your predicament. Also note that titanium backup released a new version today that improves data wiping support for Galaxy S phones.
EDIT: I had run into the same issue with Market myself. Happened when I flashed stock kernel from adrynalyne's completely unvoodoo thread over my existing DJ05 (prerelease) Blackhole 2.2 using CWMR. I have never once installed Voodoo, so it was not related.
I didn't spend time troubleshooting it though. Nandroid restore via rom manager fixed me.

Found an .apk of root explorer and no dice on all the listed steps. I did try a nandroid as well. I don't know what the hell is up. Gah.
Adrynalyne has a sweet Odin package under the development forum. Its called di01package3.tar and its a single flash file of about half a gig. I would link it but I am in a rush. It should be on the second page. Its a great package I've tried to brick my phone and this brings it back all the time. Tell me how it goes.

Found that this morning and flashed it. Also did a standard restore, file by file. whatever the problem is, it's on my phone, and it's not something that is being overwritten with the ODIN files. I even signed in under my finace's login and had the same market issues, otherwise I would assume it was my google profile.
ROFL. So check this, I copied a full nandroid backup from my gf phone to mine, flashed it.....
Still no market. Ha. Fing. Ha.

Just pointing out that Daswolven is up to exactly 666 posts right now.
He may really have to take it to Verizon now and tell them his phone needs an exorcism. But as stated before, it would be best to figure out what the hell happened... he did nothing wrong, and he tried everything in the playbook. Stumped! *Bump*
Have you wiped data/cache from stock recovery? Thats the only thing I can think of.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yeah, he exhausted my entire list (Re: post 4), AND did fallingup's backtostock recovery steps, AND did Adrynalyne's all inclusive backtostock MEGA Odin recovery, AND did a stock nandroid recovery. His phone is a scientific mystery at this point.
Mystery it is. I managed to screw something up that is beyond ODIN or backup. lol. I'm sure it's voodoo related. Have some ideas to play with tomorrow though. we'll see.
Just curious, if Odin was used, which destroys voodoo (especially if using my odin file), how can it be a voodoo issue?
Reset your gf's phone and put your account data in. Wouldn't shock me if market failed on her phone.
Sounds like your problem is with your Google account. My bro in law had the exact problem with his fascinate and his was completely stock. His account miraculously started working again out of the blue after like 2 days lol. Good luck.
Just as a side note. I find my life happiest if I refresh all of my titanium backups before a data wipe, ESPECIALLY adw.
I have suspicions that some combination of rejiggered app versions between updates confuses the hell out of some shoddily written code in market so it is always nice to be able to go to the exact setup you recently had for everything you installed before the update. I say the bug is with Google Market.
When it sees this kind of error, it should be smart enough to recognize that no download is happening, and handle it in some way, or throw an error. Sitting there dumb-struck shows a lapse in engineering. And whomever might be in the peanut gallery that wants to bring up the halting problem and Alan Turing... he died of cyanide poisoning. Market is too important to be this fragile... bottom line!
Speaking of that, did you happen to try Titanium Backup's Market Doctor under settings? I doubt it will do anything for you. But hey, why not?
That said... Never seen anything that Odin couldn't save me from.

Not only does my market work on her phone, but when I log into mine as her it doesn't. added to the mystery is my verizon app doesn't recognize my number, but tech support was unable to correct.
I did use titanium market doctor. I honestly think I've tried everything. lol.
I am beginning to believe my issue has to be a verizon network problem. There's no way that I can see it being hardware or software at this point. What the hell they would have to do with anything I have no clue.
As for voodoo, I only know that was where the problem started. I was flash happy and tried to flash Superclean 0.9 directly over a stock build straight from rom manager without disabling or using the red CWM. phone wouldn't boot past Sammy logo. Couldn't boot from a restore, and that's where my trips to ODIN started.
But yeah, once there, voodoo shouldn't have anything to do with it. In the end, it was just my not paying attention. lol.
After trying everything in the book, no dice. I did the unthinkable, and called Verizon tech support after reverting completely to stock. They couldn't troubleshoot it, of course, and sent a replacement. Came in today. Logged in, went to market, works fine.
Logged back into my other and no dice.
At this point the issue is a mystery, but at least it's resolved. I hate replacing like that, I always disagree with it, but I did actually try everything. lol.
Glad you have a working phone again Daswolven, sorry it took a trip to vz replacement.
I just blew away my market too. In my case, I was upgrading my blackhole install the lazy way. I narrowed down the cause to be wiping data and then being overzealous with Titanium.
I fixed by (wiping data again and) purging counter-productive backups, particularly:
* deleting my Accounts system data backup (copied gmail password from keypass instead)
* deleting my adw backup (adw has its own means of backing up settings and layout)
* continuing to abuse titanium
Note: this wouldn't have fixed Daswolven's problem.
As a side note, clockwork recovery froze up twice looking for data pre-install. Turned out to be nnd, just a battery pull.
All good now.

Okay I've already flashed my phone via the update.zip to go from 2.1 to 2.2 EB13 file and I'm getting terrible 3G data speeds.. I've already performed a wipe on the phone and still same issue. Can I use the installer on the Samsung website to Reflash my phone to 2.2 to see if this fix's the issue?

Alright thanks a lot. I'll update this post to see if this resolves the issue.
Okay I Odin's EB13 I'm getting about 150 KBPS download.. I switched back to DI18 and I get 700+ KBPS dl for 3G... yeah I'm gonna stick to 2.1 for now.
I was great for a few days after using Odin to flash eb13, but now I just had my 2nd random reboot while using the phone, and most of the time after exiting an app like angry birds it takes a minute or so to populate the desktop screens. I am going to try a wipe and re-flash also.
What's the best way to wipe the phone? I don't want to wipe the sd card because my titanium backup files are saved to it.
forget the ota. Delete that junk. Use samsungs 200mb tool.
I've been flashing this thing left and right since November (when I got it, teehee). It's been through over 10 Odins and 100 custom rom/kernel flashes. Even so, Odin has never failed me, nor has the ROMs. But lately, my phone has been freezing non stop, I thought I flashed Syndicate Frozen wrong so I reflashed after wiping and it still froze. I changed the kernel prefixes to 1000/200 instead of 1000/100 to see if it's the 100 scale being stupid, but no dice. I decided to flash MidNIGHT rom to see if that would fix the problem and it worked fine, but now another problem arose. My recovery can't find internal or SD storage anymore...I fixed the problem before by booting the phone up, then going into settings > Privacy > factory reset (although that froze the phone and I had to manually pull the battery) but once I rebooted, all was good...but I Odined back to DI18, automatically updated to EC05, then ran the EXT 4 one click root and it was fine, then I flashed Syndicate 1.1 again, froze on me, restored my working version of midNIGHT rom, now it's giving me that internal storage problem again in recovery.
Is my phone about to die??? I took a picture of the recovery error with my brother's phone.
Those aren't big-deal errors - but I've seen them before when I flashed CWM3 and entered it early (I can't tell you exactly what I did). Just Odin again, flash CWM3, let it convert, and restore the backup. You should be fine. But no, your phone is fine.
And, see the SRF thread. The freeze fix has been posted many times.
Perhaps you should try something other than Syndicate for a while...maybe try an RFS based ROM. Sounds like all your problems start with flashing Syndicate.
Stock EC05 RFS with Genocide 0.5a kernel has been rock solid for me and unbelievable battery life.
I'll give it a try, thanks!
I get those same errors when I use reboot recovery to get to CWM3, but when i use the 3 finger method it works fine.
What method did you use to boot to cwm?

Quick boot is a hard reset. Cause of this it causes data corruption. Use the reboot option built into the rom.
If you wanna reboot into recovery after hitting the reboot 3 finger death grip. It will reboot into recovery

Not only that, but something just doesn't set right when you do it - I can't tell you exactly what, but that's definitely the cause right there.
Had both of these same issues as well on SFR 1.1 and also thought my phone was in trouble. Quickboot caused problems in CWM3 and data corruptions, so had to wipe and reflash. Then, like a number of others, I started having the freezing problems on SFR. Unfortunately, hadn't made it through all the pages of issues in the thread (and freezing issue wasn't yet noted in 2nd post when I downloaded the rom), so ended having to do several battery pulls, which caused more data corruption that required wiping and formatting sd card. Since the posted fix is to flash a kernel that is said to break the camcorder, which I use, I decided to flash back to midnight and all is working again.
I don't want this post to be seen as me knocking SFR. The team at ACS does great work and I'm sure the kernel works for most users. Once the freezing issue is resolved, I'll probably try SFR again, because I like their roms. Just wanted to let you know others are having the same issues.

any kind of quick reset (quickboot or pulling battery with power on) is bad news on a non-journaled ROM.

midNIGHT rom came with Quickboot.apk, so I assumed it's okay. I'll ditch it right away, though.
not meaning to hijack the thread butttt
is adb reboot acceptable to use on a non journal rom?
hi im new to the forum and have a quick question. i just flashed viperrom 5.0 yesterday and everything worked great and really like the rom. only problem is when i shut down the phone and restart it i loose all apps including the market. ive tried reflashing it again and its doing the same thing. this is the only issue im experiencing so far. thanks!
Are you pulling the battery to shut the phone down? i think Journaling is turned off which can cause data loss.
no just turned it off no battery pull. i also noticed that when i restarted the phone usb debugging came back on. is this normal? how would i solve the journaling issue? i just flashed back to eb13 for now and its working alright. sorry im fairly new to flashing roms so bare with me

Not not normal. I would re download all files and flash again, with starting with Fresh EC05 with ODIN.
i cant use odin cause im on linux so i have to flash through cwm everytime. but i did switch to ec05 today. i did notice that when i flashed viperrom one last time i restarted the phone before sync'ing with gmail and it kept the market upon restart. but when i synced gmail and restart i lost the apps including the market again. thats when i got real confused so i went to ec05.
in case it's caused by journaling being turned off, here's what I would suggest:
1) get the ROM installed (like you did previously)
2) get your apps downloaded and installed (as you did previously)
3) DON'T restart the phone yet....
4) after getting all your settings/apps setup
5) boot into clockwork mod and do a complete backup.
6) after making a backup, boot the phone. .if it's missing stuff.. don't worry..
7) boot back into clockwork mod and do a restore. Restore system/data, etc..
by doing a nandroid restore (step 7) you will enable journaling.. now when your phone boots back up, you'll have all your settings in place.. and you shouldn't lose them after a re-start (check it and see)
Hope this helps (if it does, hit thanks )
Journaling is on in the viper rom, but making a backup in cwm after you get it set up is a good idea. Also using an app backup, such as titanium, will let you restore your apps while on if you notice them missing.

i wasn't sure about Viper.. I use ACS and journaling is off by default but I like the piece of mind from journaling so I got all set up, did a backup, then restore LOL..

Step 7 above is not a good way to turn on journaling. I've seen instances where some partitions have it and some don't. Best just to get a rom that has journaling on in the first place. Please also keep in mind that with journaling on it really slows down your system. You might not notice it now, but if you have been used to running ext4 for a while it will seem like molasses some how got in your phone.

not to start a debate, but all the posts/advice that I've seen in the fora here have suggested that doing a restore will enable journaling..
I am currently running a nandroid restore and have been running the same for the last 2 weeks and I have no molasses Although, running ACS, maybe my phone is too "frozen" for the molasses to run out hahaha
YMMV..
