Hey guys, figured i would test out a semi-cleaned up rom for yall to flash. This is nothing too fancy, just removed most of the bloat from the /system.
Go here for the download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Angel-i500-VZW-semiclean.tar.md5
install with odin, follow instructions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU FLASH TO YOUR PHONE! YOU FLASH THIS KNOWING THAT IT COULD VERY WELL BRICK YOUR PHONE!

And to the ones with root not showing up, can you 'ls /system/xbin' from adb and paste the results?

Girlfriends Fascinate just decided to randomly stop doing anything except showing lights on soft keys after rooting and lag fix. Decided if I've got to restore should try this. First flash I got stuck at a similar issue after VZW logo. Wiped data and cache and was able to boot but entered in to FC hell. Working on flashing back to stock Odin posted in other thread as we speak.
Update: realized I had only wiped data and not cache as well. after doing that was able to flash back to stock, trying this once more.
Update 2: No go, still FCing like crazy. Flashing back to stock.

I had the same issue. Install stock and then Angels. Wipe cache only and it should work. If you cant activate Google do a reset in settings and all is fine.
I'm sorry, but that's exactly what I experienced rooting and running the lag fix on a Vibrant. There is something flawed with the lag fix. I don't know what it is, but this is the 4th experience I've read about that's the exact same as mine.
Could Samsung change the file system with an OTA update? Is that even possible?

All the lag fixes have some issues right now. The best lag fix will come once samsung releases the source code for our phones. See here: http://project-voodoo.org/

hi
since the MR5 OTA update i encounter problems and i want to go back to stock
MR1.
where can i download it?
can any1 give me link to download?
if my device is updated to MR5 is it safe to flash with rsdlite the MR1?
There was never a MR1 SBF posted anywhere AFAIK.
ok
so...can it be ported the sbf from stock phone?

Have you tried ##786# and click on factory default reset but you have to know your msl #. Hoping that it restores back to stock version.
did you know what you'v just sayd?
firmware cannot reset itself to the basic if upgraded it factory reset cannot be
helpfull here...try'd it 3 times and guess waht?
OK i'v done it flashed the phone back to MR3 with RSDLITE i almost peed in
my pants when the phone started and stuck'd on the "NOW" after the reboot.
the phone flash'd but again having "wifi error"
but the most odd thingy is when activating the phone with the Sprint zone
app the phone i was able to use wifi and after activating it the phone rebooted
its self and the wifi issue came...its something to do with this ****ty app.
If Sprint Zone is the problem then you can remove it.
I recommend you flash back to CM5, then you can install Alien ROM which does not include that bloatware. You can install it either by unlocking and using CWM Recovery or by following the instructions to setup the bootstrap recovery. Either will do the trick and you'd be happy with the result. Just my 2 cents.
i want to stay with the stock rom a little while
which carrier are you using?
and how i remove this ridiculous app?

People have told you this several times bro, you have to be ROOTED to remove any bloatware (stock apps). rooting your phone gives you administrator rights.
Root your phone, download esfile explorer, go to settings in esfileexplorer and click on the root settings, and mount settings, make sure both boxes are checked. Now go to where the file is located and long press the file and select delete. If you need to reinstall it later for some reason there are a ton of downloads for it around, so no real need to back it up. I keep a copy on my SD card all the time.
Good Luck

the strange thingy is that after flashing the phone want's to be activated first
the wifi works but after activating it the wifi wont respond anymore
if i dont use Sprint's network at all why the phone needs to be registered?
thats sooo oddddddd!

You realize you are not at the stock ROM? You are using MR3, which was a testing build and never released OTA or included stock with the phone. Thats why Yay4Juggs quickly replaced it with the final CM5 build once it was available.
i used the 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf.gz right after i saw that i had wifi error.
i flash'd it 3 times but no luck at all.
thought to roll back to the stock MR1 but i dont see it anyware with this
stock (MR1) i havent got any problems at all i upgraded to MR5 via the OTA
and having troubles since than.
the file i just mentiond is from Yay4Juggs thread.

Hi Guys
Yesterday I flashed the Hydro ICS and had no issues at all, hungry to explore other ROM's I flashed about 5 today, then all of a sudden I was faced with 2 issues that no matter what I cant solve
The first is that my WIFI Doesnt work, it says its connected and issues an IP to the phone but the Wifi bars are grey with a flashing X through them
In my router I get the following Error
" DHCP FAILED - Requested Info not supported.;CM-MAC=a0:21:b7:30:03:2c;CMTS-MAC=00:30:b8:cf:db:40;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; "
I also have a yellow warning triangle on boot too
I have reflashed, wiped, etc etc with many roms since to try and fix but I have gotten nowhere,
EDIT:
Just to add, other mobiles "Including a SGS2 on ICS" are connected wirelessly and I have rebooted and reset my router.
PLEASE can someone get me out of this hole im in ?
Many Thanks
Gaz

Bumping your thread after only just over an hour isn't going to endear yourself to anyone...
Try a different kernel. I believe WiFi drivers are in the kernel.
I believe your best bet is to do a battery pull, leave it out for a minute, then put it back in and power up.
If that doesn't work, you may need to install another baseband/modem. Lots of them you can install through CWM.

i agree with the 2nd way, also you should try flashing a different kernel as mentioned above.

Go back to stock, see if it still happens while you are there. If so, return it and ask for a new one. If it doesn't, flash CM again and read the CM thread; you just might find a fix for that issue.

So far I've tried the Cyanogen mod and the liquidsmooth mod, using odin. With both of those i repeatedly tried installing them and i even wiped the cache and data, but they just end up sitting there at the boot screen, as if i did all this just to stare at a logo! why the hell don't they work?????????????? help please,

If it is GT-I9300, indeed it is an international model (if it is not faked ).
You should be able to, for instance via CWM or Mobile Odin (to keep root), flash a custom rom. Try to do a factory reset wipe/data wipe and install the rom again. For some roms you also might do a "fix permissions" from your custom recovery after you flashed it (but before you restart the phone).
Looks like you are trying to flash zip files in Odin.
STOP NOW!
Ok note we have sorted that, and before you do anything else, take a step back, and do some reading and learning, starting with the rollup sticky at the top of the general thread.

Precisely before flashing read the FAQS and Guides is rule one .
Rule two is backup your EFS folder before flashing instead of crying later .

Tl;dr install with mobile odin or clockwork recovery to install ZIP files (most ROMs come in this, also don't extract it), use dekstop odin to install tar files
Ok fair enough, thanks all for the help so far, I'll do a bit of reading then try again. I've had an Iphone for over 2 years that I jailbroke and used from day one. This phone is so much cooler however, I look forward to exploring the improved possibilities..
Ok that's it then, seems the only way something like this MAY work is by wiping the phone clean and starting over, something very inconvenient for my to do.. If down the line I ever get another phone I will try it then, it has been a headache trying it on this one. I decided to give it one more try yesterday after backing up everything, I used titanium backup and also made a back up in recovery mode, I tried fixing permissions after installing the latest cyanogen mod but it didn't make a difference, it just sat at the stupid boot screen, making my phone warm.. I suppose it's okay if one needs a hand warmer!
My woes did not end there however, as I assumed that since I made a backup i could just restore the phone to the way it was. That did not exactly happen unfortunately, clockwork mod restored the system and image just fine, but when it was restoring data it kept stopping at one file and giving me an "error restoring data" bull****. Great, so I boot the phone and now most of the apps don't work and just crash when I try to run them, the only way to fix them is by uninstalling and then re–installing them one by one! Very inconvenient! And to top it off avast told me I have several "problems" found, I assume that is those apps.
So there it is, I shouldn't have done that to my phone yesterday, it worked beautifully until that point, and I was using nobloat to get rid of the unnecessary stuff, make a rom flash pointless, but I was curious.. And there you go, that is my story, I thank you all for trying to help, and I appreciate it really, but I'm done with this nightmare, at least on this phone i am.
Peace
Ok a quick update:
After repeatedly having an occasional issue with the phone, I decided to go for it one more time, this time I followed your advice to the letter, and I'm happy to report that it Worked! I've installed the liquidsmooth Rom and it works great, except for a few issues which I'll talk about in another more relevant thread. Just wanted to say, I apologize for my earlier posts, I was at my wits end at the time!
Since the custom Rom issue has been resolved, I shall lay this thread to rest and hope others learn from it.
Peace.

As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.

Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
