can't boot into clockwork, could only boot into download mode.

Make sure you're using the specified version of clockwork in the directions.

Yes, I'm using the latest version. But that doesn't matter because I can't even get into CWM. It's stuck on Samsung Screen during bootup, bottom lights won't light up.

ahh.... i'll just start all over and ODIN back to EC05. Hopefully that will work.

Yes Odin to stock EC05. Root with CWM3.0.2.5 one-click then flash the rom. I had the same problem. Make sure the ROM is on your SD card before you get started though.

Where u on ext4?

No. All fixed now. Thank goodness. I just ODIN back to stock, re-rooted with CWM, and started over. All is working well!

Odin always works

Same thing happened to me my first flash of EE03. Re Odin, reflash and make sure to properly wipe.....lol.... I flashed the rom and the add ons first, then odin'ed the modem. The second time it worked like a charm. Give it a try, you will love the results.... Btw, try out the tw4 theme too..... Amazing

Yes roms in the developement section here can all usually be flashed through cwm unless otherwise stated. And I've never needed to unroot, but odin is a windows gui for flashing tar's(which are roms usually official and modems). You use Odin when you want to go back to complete stock, or modems usually. You can do other things with Odin such as flash custom recoveries like cwm. Odin is your bestfriend if you mess something up, always make sure to use a premium blackberry or other thick cable besides the one that came with the phone when using odin.(most people have difficulties with stock cable.)

Same with me. However I was able to get into cwm and flash a Talon kernel and that let me boot. Makes me wonder if a kernel was included in this rom or not cause my cwm was the same Samurai kernel.

ok thanks yall.
im going to update and try and figure out what i did wrong.
sorry for the troubles
might be in the morning ,getting late here

after flashing 9000 bootloaders, i was able to complete the install but it just bootloops at gt-i9000 screen

I have it up and running. I was boot looping but I managed to get to recovery and flash a new kernel. try that.

You should try replaacing the kernel with a novoo XCAL kernel that matches your framework. That will fix the bootlooping problem.

Thanks. I will try....i thought thats what i was using

Were you able to port 5.2 as well. It's by far the smoothest rom I've ever used on the Captivate.

Curiosity. Phone memory?

I'm just curious to know how much of your phone's memory do you use so I can see if I'm good or I can use even less than what I do use lol
I'm using 160mb/ 493mb
It seems good but I wanna know if I can go lower lol
I'm running thunderhawk 3.3. With the minamalistic black theme and I deleted some files out of the system like ringtones and things I never use

Wow I didn't think mtd helped that much with memory
But I've tried cm7 and honestly didn't like it much its the little bugs that bothered me honestly but I deffinately will be going with another mtd rom like thunderhawk when it turns mtd
How come I don't ever see anything about miui like cm7..? Ppl is it really that bad?

Most of the bugs have been worked out since moving to mtd and miui wasn't as big because more people like cyanogenmod as apposed to miui I guess. But there's nothing wrong with my cm7 anyways the new nightly *9* and the samurai kernel bushido8 works seemlessly for me you might want to give it a try there is also cleangb on mtd.
Sent From My Cyan Samurai

Tried CM7 for the third time and still not a fan. MIUI does not have 4G yet but they are working on it. I prefer converting your favorite ROM to MTD like I did with Legendary 2.1 and gaining 150MB of storage and the added stability.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Ok now I have just onee question
If I switched to cm7 and didn't like it could I normally flash cleangb without having to odin back to stock? Cuz I'm not around a computer much and would hate to be stuck with it until I get to a computer
I've tried cm7 b4 it had 4g and 4g was one of the biggest problems I didn't like it
But I think I will try it now
And u say samurai kernel would b the best to go with it? Not shadow..?

That's what I was thinking about doing
I use thunderhawk so I will probably convert it to mtd and use it
Just one questionn
I'm currently on thunderhawk
But if I converted it to mtd and flashed it would I have to wipe everything?
If I do have to wipe everything then would I at least b able to restore data?
And if I can't restore data then is there at least a way to sync or save my txts lol?? That's like the most important thing lol

You can flash anyother MTD ROM from CM7. I switch back and forth to nandroids of CM7 and MTD converted Legendary. So you can flash CleanGB MTD version and I would recommend a factory data reset before the flash since data won't work anyway.

That memory already exists on your phone. But the current Samsung layout has most of it dedicated to Cache. It seems that converting this partition to data storage thus far has no ill-effects. The only thing known to be affected thus far would be an OTA update, as that extra large cache space was needed to download and prep the update.zip file.
ThunderHawk 3.4 will be MTD when I learn a little more about the MTD process and how it works. One issue I've read is that, after converting to MTD and flashing several roms, the MTD will corrupt and you'll have to restart the process from the beginning.

I have been loving my manually converted mtd thunderhawk 3.3 setup with shadow mtd-tw-v02. I gained 191mb of extra storage, and was able to check cm7 for an hour or two and restore my thawk mtd nandroid without issue. Just make sure you know what minor differences you may run across before making the jump. Glad to hear 3.4 will probably be mtd! We have some awesome devs for this device.

Well that would b amazing ill b one of the first to download it and I wouldn't personally worry about that problem cuz I wouldn't flash any other roms unless there your updates but hopefully there will b a solution to stop that corruption but ill be waiting for your 3.4

Need info on how similer the flashing methods are?

Hey everyone.
I have read alot of threads relating to the different ways to flash my samsung fascinate. They are all pretty easy to understand.
But i have a tablet, a Zenithink C91, It came with 2.3 and updates have been released from the manufacturer regularly.
The tablet comes rooted. On my tablet, when i reload, or upgradem i simply put the upgraded ROM zip on the SD card, hold the 3 buttons and it finds, loads and reboots all in one operation.
Why isnt the process the same on the fascinate? i mean once the phone is rooted, Why cant you just load a jellybeen ROM zip on the SD card and use the 3 button method.
I guess im not making the connection as to why its so much more complicated for the phone. I can reload 2.3 from 4.0, upgrade 2.3 to 4.0 without doing anything but putting the file on the sd card.
Is this because the updates are straight from the manu and for that specific model?
Hope that doesnt sound to stupid. Thank you for any help. Love the work bein done i try to donate much as poss.
Fry

for the fascinate you can actually view, select and flash more than once thing at once in recovery. we can't use the 3 button method due to a bug but you can boot into CWM using apps or a computer and then browse all your files and flash whatever you want. It isn't as simple but gives you a lot more freedom and options in how you do things.

Thank you guys for the replys.
Is it the boot loop bug ur referring to for the 3 button method?
I guess if that is fixed the phone could be flashed alot like the tab then right?
What will have the JT fix when its released?
