so i am trying to restore to an old back up but every time i do it it takes me to the Android System recovery. I have tried the following from the system recovery reinstall packages>then backup and restore>restore> and i tried with the following backups: 10-18-10_JI6_Lag_Fix, 10-29-10_Bionix_Voodoo, 11-02-10_Fusion_Voodoo. i even disabled voodoo tried to restore again and nothing it keeps sending me to Android recovery system. i would have to use Odin and start all over again, whats the purpose of a backup if i cant get it to work. any ideas?
p.s. i also took out battery and put it back in and took me back to Android recovery system.
EDITk so i tried to go back to stock (JI6) and no luck, on the Odin i get RESET (in blue) the phone resets and goes back to Android system recovery. i tried to reboot and nothing only goes back to system recovery the only time i get PASS (in green) is when i disconnect the phone.
what am i to do i am freaking out. i am downloading JFD but i am worried it will happen the same thing, any ideas?
Use the all in one ji6. Odin zip in the stickie. Then try to flash a different. Rom.
Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!

Usually takes about 10-15 minutes per the readme in the Official Firmware Odin Thread.
edit: I used Odin 1.3 on my machine (Win7 Pro 64-bit) when I went back to stock (instead of the v1.0 in the thread). The newer 1.53/1.7 releases weren't out yet...

EDIT: after hours of sweating and thinkin i would have to get a new phone i was finally able to get my phone of the Android system recovery by flashing Eugenes Froyo That does not Brick the reflashing JFD. But my original question is : trying to restore to an old back up but every time i do it it takes me to the Android System recovery. I have tried the following from the system recovery reinstall packages>then backup and restore>restore> and i tried with the following backups: 10-18-10_JI6_Lag_Fix, 10-29-10_Bionix_Voodoo, 11-02-10_Fusion_Voodoo what is the proper way to restore a backup and is it worth is cause in my case it did not work.
EDIT: well i got my answer on how to back up, it seems that i need to back up/restore with voodoo disable. That was my mistake, all the back ups i had were with voodoo enabled and when i went to restore i didnt disable it but it would not have matter since i did the back ups with voodoo enabled. It would have been a good idea to advise people that when doing their back ups to disable voodoo first and when restoring them to do the same, this would have avoided a lot of lost time and frustration. Now i have to go back and redo everything again and remember which apps i had and reinstall them. Lesson learned and hope this helps. (thanks to jdkackley for the insight)

So i'm going to consolidate and give everyone a brief recap on how I fixed my phone since it required the use of SEVERAL posts. I figured someone will eventually get caught in the same situation I was.
This is by no means the best way, or the correct way to fix any phone, do this at your own pace and liability. I am, and no one mentioned in this thread is liable for your phone.
Please excuse any of my grammar mistakes, this is spewing out as I type.
History: Stock DI01 update w/ JT's Voodoo .2 OC Kernel.
Flashed JT's Super Clean ROM V.4 & Remix Incognito Theme.
** Market would no longer work. I had this issue before updating to the 2.2 market after the DI01 update, so I uninstalled and worked again, however, that option wasn't available with the ROM Flash.
I couldn't find a single fix that would work to get the market to work, even ADB pushing older market apk's to the system wouldn't fix it. I decided to do a flash of JT's Super Clean ROM V.2, that didn't fix the issue either.
**I was clearing data and wiping dalvik after each flash**
With nothing seeming to work, I decided to try Deodexe's Zinc ROM, and this is where **** hit the fan. After doing this, I sent my phone into FC boot loop hell. I was getting the process.acore FC everytime I pressed a key. I rebooted back into Clockwork, tried to recover from an old ROM I had backed up the previous day, notta. Damage was done. I was getting FC bootloop hell with a very crappy performance.
I decided it was time to Odin restore and start over. These aren't the exact steps I took, but if I had to do it over again, this is how I would do it. If at any point you're getting a process.media FC, remove your SD Card, and leave it out until you need it for CWM.
STEP ONE:
If you installed Voodoo (at any point, removed or not, do this step)

This was the main culprit behind my phone not working correctly after a complete restore. I moved this to the top of the list, because after that, it's downhill.
STEP TWO:
Completely Restore with Odin Restore Files
Thanks to fallingup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
The instructions are a little un-clear, but do this. First, Only use the PDA option, and flash each backup one at a time along with the PIT file. You're not out of the clear yet. Read on.
STEP THREE:
Flash CWM Recovery (read my notes below)
Thanks to fallingup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
After you've flashed CWM. Boot into CWM Recovery, Boot back in Stock Recovery and wipe data and cache. Boot back to CWM (select sd:update.zip) and do the exact same thing there. Reboot phone.
STEP FOUR:
Do a data factory reset
Even though you have just restored the **** out of your phone, you're still not there. Get through all the account setup fields and go to Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset.
After a reboot, you should be on your way to a completely 100% stock fixed phone. At this point, I would suggest making a ROM back up of this point before moving ahead with flashing again.
LAST STEP (for me anyway):
Restore apps via Titanium Backup
This restored most my apps and settings that I had already saved, including LauncherPro and the backups I had for that. If you haven't used Ti, then use whatever app backup app you do have, if you do indeed have one.
I decided to re-flash JT's Super Clean ROM V.4 found here. Thanks to JT

Right now I'm mixed on updating a new Voodoo Kernel, I haven't decided if I want to do that again or wait for something else.
Thanks again for all the DEV support, hopefully someone searching will find this thread useful.
Pretty much my standard routine when trying new kernels.
I have a nandroid with my basic rooted setup (apps and data intact), so this doesn't set me back by a huge amount.
Just a few differences...
I use:
Odin (System, then kernel) (step only needed if things are *really* messed up...won't boot)
Boot into Recovery
flash update.zip to get into CWM
Wipe Data/Cache/Davlik
Reboot into recovery
run jt's voodoo_uninstall (flashes stock.zip and replaces mbr with stock mbr)
reboot into recovery
restore nandroid image.
This has yet to fail me and usually takes under 10 minutes. The nandroid image is key. Most of the time, I can skip the Odin step completely if I am not seeing anything truly, staggeringly horrific going on.
Again, jt's voodoo-uninstall seems to solve a lot more than just voodoo issues. This thing should get it's own topic/forum/entry in ROM Manager/zip code/nobel award...you get the picture.

This along with several other threads allowed me to recover from my own mental retardation.
Gotta remember to remove voodoo before doing stuff. I should know better.
Thanks again.
This is not working for me. I removed voodoo (using the uninstaller). I then did odin and my phone boots but I cant do anything past the unlock bc of all the fcs I get. I wiped the cache and data. CWM is not working, when I try to do the update.zip I get a "failed to verify whole-file signiture". - I deleted the voodoo folder from the sd-card after uninstalling voodoo, dont know if that contributed to the problem. Any ideas?

Sounds like you need to re-flash ClockworkMod through Odin. I'm guessing it got wiped out when you went back to stock.
So i factory reset my phone (on stock), made a nandroid backup, then flashed one of bionix's roms. a couple days later i want to try another rom so i went into rom manager and chose to restore and picked the backup that i made earlier while on stock. It completed the restore process and went back to the clockworkmod recovery screen, then i chose reboot. now the phone sticks at the vibrant screen, but makes the bootup sound. weird huh? do i have to use odin? or is there somehow i can still restore using clockworkmod. i am able to still get into recovery btw . if the only way to fix is thru odin, can someone link a current post with instructions? thanks peeps.
BTW i was on JI6 when backing up, and i read fusion 1.1 runs on JI2 so......help?
Feel free anyone to correct me since I'm also fairly new at this, but it sounds like you may have soft bricked your phone. The way I understand it is that you needed to flash back to a stock kernel before restoring your stock ROM backup.
Getting back to a stock kernel can be done by either flashing a ROM that uses/applies it (they usually state what kernel they're using), or just flashing the stock kernel yourself, which can be downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733792
Anyway, here is a thread that explains ODIN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810130
Good luck! I fear I'll be in your shoes at some point, so hopefully I helped a little.
I had zero problems when rooting and flashing my G1, but now with my Vibrant I am not sure what I did.
A few excellent stickies at the top but I seem to not be making any progress.
Here are the steps I took.
I had a stock Vibrant running 2.1
I downloaded ROM Manager, installed clockwork mod.
Did a backup of my current system ( was I supposed to do a clockwork AND nandroid?)
Downloaded and successfully installed a ROM called Blackhole 1.0
it runs ok but didn't give me the option to switch from 3G to EDGE data, and then I couldn't get internet access at all so i decided to restore my original stock vibrant system.
So I rebooted into recovery, selected restore (my phone won't go into recovery anymore for some reason) and waited, it took a while, then I rebooted (forgot to wipe), but it just got stuck on the Vibrant screen. So I booted into recovery mode again and wiped just user data not cache and rebooted, same thing stuck at Vibrant.
Now i keep hearing about something called ODIN, what I can tell it is some kind of flasher program for ROMS, nobody seems to give any kind of link or anything, is it greymarket or something?
So where am I now? I think the excellent noob guide needs to be updated a bit more.
My phone can get into download mode (whatever it is for i don't know) but it won't get into recovery mode anymore.
Everything you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111
i think what happened to you is you flashed a 2.2 ROM then tried to revert back to 2.1 without doing the proper downgrading steps i.e. you did not flash a 2.1 kernel first.
but since you can get to download mode.. just flash stock JFD or JI6 through ODIN and you should be good.
good luck
Once you get back to stock don't give up on the 2.2 toms. Try axura or nero. They might have a few minor bugs but its way better then stock 2.1.
Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
I have done the samething as you, coming from a nexus one it seemed easier to flash roms without worrying about downgrading kernels or what not. Recently I was on Nero froyo and flashed to a different rom, and tried to revert back but ended up stuck at the vibrant screen. Think it has something to do with voodoo lag.
Anyways I had to use Odin with the no brick froyo off ebproductions. Ran that and uploaded clockwork, reinstalled voodoo lag fix and was able to nandroid back to my Nero set up. Somewhat of a pain but once you've done it, no need to worry about bricking

Well as long as I can use Odin if I f-up royally like above then I might give it a shot.

Just so you know, the backup utility in Rom Manager (clockwork) is really just shortcut to a nandroid backup.
The way I have things set up for backups, and this is just for my personal convenience, is as follows...
I have a stock JFD ODIN rom to flash in case anything goes wrong. (A lot of people here will tell you to flash this whenever flashing a new rom. It is safer, and cleaner to do it this way, but not absolutely necessary)
I make a nandroid of my last stable rom (I only keep one at a time cause the files are huge) and keep a backup of that on my PC.
I backup all my apps and a few other things (call logs, bookmarks, sms) through Titanium backup. If you get the pro version, you can load it up after flashing a new rom and have it automatically restore all your apps in one click (system settings can be dangerous to restore when going from rom to rom, so be careful with those.) I also keep a backup of this on my PC.
I will also occasionally backup both of the sd cards to the PC.
Maybe overkill, but you probably wont ever lose anything forever.

OK I will just do the long way from now on. I use this phone on AT&T, I was worried that I flushed $500 down the toilet but ever since i modded my first phone way back in the day i've been addicted.
Running Odin and my phone is in download mode, about to flash this b**ch.
wish me luck.
I flashed Odin on my phone to revert to stock. Re-Rooted it but now I can't flash Clockworkmod. Please help D:
use the update.zip posted here. You want B.
I've saved a couple i9000 Odin flashed Fascinates with this method so it should work.
First, grab my DI01 All in One. You need an all inclusive package.
http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/DI01package3.tar.md5
You will need odin3 v 1.30. Google for it.
You also need Heimdall.
Heimdall – Glass Echidna There is a readme in the windows version zip if you get stuck. Drivers must be installed for it as well.
You also need a copy of the samsung galaxy s usb drivers, because Heimdall will remove them when you use it.
[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S - xda-developers
You will also need a PIT file from me:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/atlas_v2.2.pit
Steps:
1. Install Heimdall and drivers.
2. Put phone in download mode and plug it in to usb cable.
3. Unzip the Odin file. 7zip can do this, but will give an EOF error. Ignore the error.
4. Choose each section in Heimdall and add the appropriate file, including PIT. Check repartition. Primary boot loader is boot.bin and secondary boot loader is sbl.bin.
5. Start. Boot once, check for problems. If problems persist, continue.
6. Reinstall Samsung USB drivers for Odin. This may require a PC reboot.
7. Put phone back in download Mode and start Odin, making sure its detected.
8. Load the entire Odin package, not extracted into the pda section of Odin. Include the PIT file. CHECK repartition.
9. Run the process.
If all goes well, you should be back to stock, crappy Eclair 2.1 without force close errors.
On a whim last night I flashed cm7 from kaoscinate. It wasnt what I wanted (nothing worked except calls data and sms), so I tried to go nack to sc 2.4. And of course I was bricked. But I just odined the eb01 radio and voila, I was ok.
Not sure if that helps.

i went to cm7 from sc 2.4 aswell, and to get back to sc 2.4 i just flashed cwmfroyo edition through cwm, rebooted the recovery then wiped data, re-installed sc 2.4 and bam! i was back.

I wouldn't say you were bricked. Bricked means the phone no longer functions period, no matter what you do to it. But I'm glad this helped you. I'll probably use the DL09 All in One and then flash SuperClean back over that.
When you flash an All In One, you are taking your kernel and your radio (modem) back to that version as well. When you want to go back to Froyo or whatever, make sure you flash the radio along with whatever else your flashing.
Boot looped. Wouldn't get past Samsung logo. Not an uncommon problem for me. I have become very comfortable with Odin.

haha yeah. It's saved me but a couple times mostly anytime voodoo is involved. Tried restoring a nandroid backup of EB01 after flashing CM7 and got force closes from hell. Odin'd back using the EB01 unbloated/deodexed.tar and everything booted fine. Tried to restore the nandroid and couldn't do anything because of the force closes. Think I have corrupt data somewhere though. I also made a backup of the apps and data in MyBackupPro and ended up in the same force close situation upon reboot after restoring all. Selectively restoring a couple apps worked fine. Oh well.
Basically, I can't sustain a data connection for longer than about a minute before my fascinate disconnects. It takes about a minute to reconnect, then it disconnects again. Over and over and over. It never affects phone calls because it's not losing signal, it's just dropping the data connection.
I've been poking around my phone a bit, and in the past week, but I can't pinpoint what I did that made this start happening. I was hoping this thread would save me, but it didn't. I went back to DI01 using heimdall, booted up, still had the same problem. Reflashed with Odin, same thing. Went back to SCv2.4 with EB01 modem, same thing.
I ask this in this thread because I'm wondering what part of the phone remains untouched even with the full DI01 flash? Like some kind of low-level device mode that I triggered?
If there is nothing then it must be hardware related, and I will get a replacement.
@gizmo, maybe its time to start all over again with adryn's full di01 odin restore. i have had to do that twice now. and it has saved my butt.
i have become pretty familiar now with rebuilding my entire phone. it only takes about an hour now to go from a rom i like, to soft bricking it and then back to the rom i liked before i soft bricked with another alpha i just couldn't seem to wait to try.
Why does the movinand.bin fail when using Odin?

Sounds pretty familiar . I always have to be breaking my stuff to be happy.
I've done the full heimdall DI01, followed by full Odin, to no avail. I think I messed up something with the service programming on the phone, but reactivating it doesn't help. None of the factory reset options I've tried have cleared the activation settings back to stock. Anyone know how to accomplish this?
I suppose I should move to my own thread now.
I have a samsung fascinate that I've had for a week. I rooted a few days ago then installed the orange clockwork. Since doing alot of reading I then installed the red "all" clockwork and then installed the stock leaked froyo rom. Everything worked fine. I have 2 backups of the eclair and just made one of froyo. I decided I wanted to go back to eclair and it will not restore. It just gets stuck at the samsung logo for over 30 minutes. None of my backups will restore, eclair or froyo. I've tried several times. I have the red clockwork recovery which is suppose to be the "all" one that I flashed with Odin. It says CwM Voodoo Lagfix recovery v2.5.1.x. Is this the wrong clockwork? I have not installed any voodoo or lagfix of any kind. When I try to restore my nandroid backup this is what I do, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvik cache, then restore my backup. I'm coming from a droid incredible which was a piece of cake to back up and restore and those are the steps needed to do a restore on it. Do I need to do something different with the samsung? It won't even get past the samsung logo when I do a factory reset in clockwork. I don't know how to get to the stock recovery to do a factor reset from there. The only way I can get the phone back working is to install froyo thru clockwork using install from sd card.
I have noticed that everytime I try to restore a backup it never restores boot. i know it always restored boot on the incredible and i would assume it needs to with this phone too. Any suggestions as to why I can't restore a backup or even do a factory reset??

For whatever reason I typed captivate instead of fascinate. I'll edit that.
Another thing I noticed this morning is even after doing several data wipe/factory reset and then installing the leaked froyo I still have all my apps installed and even my non g mail email account is already set up, this should not be. Does anybody have any clue what I'm doing wrong?? I would really like the ability to restore back ups with this phone.

I read thru that and he doesn't have a link for the Odin package so I don't know how I'm suppose to do what he says. Maybe I just need to unroot, get rid of CWM and go back to complete stock and start the root and CWM process all over.
There should be an odin package still in Jt's link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
It was updated at the end of march and worked for me this morning when I did a reset back to DL09 and up...
"Q: After I enter CWM, it says I am at version 2.5.1.x. Does that mean I'm on the correct version?
Unfortunately, the last several updates have been minor bugfixes, and the version number has stayed at 2.5.1.x. Hopefully this will be remedied soon. An easy way to check is to go to "Advanced" menu. If you don't see "Enable Puzzle LockScreen", then you are on the newest version (this menu option was removed because it has not been functional for a long time)."
Is the bit I was referring to, should help you figure out if you have the right CWM.
The CWM I had still has the enable puzzle lock screen. I just flashed the tar file in the link you just gave me with odin and it still has enable puzzle lock screen. What am I doing wrong?
Ok so after I flashed the tar from the link you gave me I did a restore from a nandroid backup and it worked fine. I'm totally confused but hey it worked. I thought the latest cwm shouldn't have the enable puzzle lock screen?? And does all this mean I just didn't have the latest cwm version??
Wish I could tell you there, someone with a smarter head on their shoulders might know.
I just checked my own CWM that I flashed from the tar this morning and I do not have the puzzle lock. Can't tell you much more than that.
That makes no sense. Oh well. Thanks for the help!!
newer fascinates are stock loaded with the puzzle lock screen
