I rooted my phone with rage.bin and flashed the DL05/DL09 recovery.tar through odin.
When i went into recovery it was blue, so i picked flash update.zip and it went into orange CWM. When i did a data wipe i think it failed. it said "failed to unmount volume: /data", or something similar. I flashed trulyfascinating.zip anyways, a DL30 rom. i think that was the problem, i was supposed to flash a DL09 rom.
After i flashed the ROM my phone wouldnt go past the samsung screen, and eventually dumped me into blue recovery. when i tried to flash update.zip to go to clockworkmod it failed. i tried data wipe and it still wouldnt boot.
flashing the stock system and kernel via odin fixed the problem, but now i dont know for sure what went wrong and im a little afraid to flash anything in clockworkmod. plus the data wipe still fails.
Any help? What did i do wrong?
Don't flash the orange recovery, not fully compatible with current scripts for the Fascinate. Flash a red recovery.tar.

..*Sniff Sniff*... I smell a troll.
If you aren't then you might need a refresher on the general guide lines of forum etiquette.
1. All questions go in the Q&A section rolleyes
2. You do not need to post three threads all relating to the same subject
3. Title your topics accordingly
This helps us answer your questions faster and keeps things clean!
*edit*
It sounds like your process of rooting then using odin to revert to stock messed you up.
The odin package (as I have read) takes you back to a stock non rooted form. It is for the many times we all have soft-bricked our phones.
Search for a walk through on how to flash ROMS, there are plenty of them. That should face you in the right direction.

Had the same Problem, follow the walk through you were provided, and you can recover it. I don't understand why but when it did it to me, both times, the thing i found with Clockwork Orange is it wont mount dbdata, even if you reflash back to Clockwork Red. Probably something to do with edify and non edify, if that walk through is not accessible, try this, it is a little roughly written and i am going to fix it, but it should give you what you need to fix your brick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746

ANY IDEA WHY I GET THIS ?..........thanks.Dennis
Flashing or installing a recovery on a stock kernel gets reset at boot. You need to flash recovery (cwm) in odin with battery out, insert batt and 3 finger into recovery and flash a custom kernel to get recovery to stick.
good day.
???
hi, and thanks for reply........im sorry but im obviously newbie. can you give advice on how exactly i can acheive your suggestion ?.......i dont know what ODIN is or even how to do this
thanks
dennis
What exactly are you trying to flash? Or what rom are you looking to be on?
good day.
well, like i said, im newb, so i tried the ROM MANAGER app.......and it lists only a few ROMs. but any i try i get same error.
btw, i would like to be on Cynogen, or fresh
Don't really recommend Rom Manger...
-Download Odin.
-Download CWM4 fixed for CM7... HERE. (Bottom of JTs post)
-Copy the ROM you wish to use onto your SD card anywhere.
-Open Odin
-Phone off, remove the battery, hold down volume button, plug in USB cord
-Should go into download mode, shown on the screen of your phone, and show show up as connected in Odin.
-Using PDA Button (Never use phone button in ODIN!) flash the CWM4 for Odin file you downloaded. DON'T do anything until it says success, finished done, etc, just don't stop mid flash. Shouldn't take that long, and your phone should turn back off.
-Reinsert the battery, do the three finger recovery (DO NOT let the phone boot back up otherwise you'll need to reflash recovery)
-Choose install ROM from SD card, choose the rom, CM7 or whatever you downloaded, and flash it.
-Now that's going from memory, so it might not be exactly "install rom from sd card", I think it actually says "install .zip from sd card" or something like that but you get the idea.
- I would recommend backing up all your data, and then wiping cache, dalvik, and data before flashing a new ROM.
- If going to CM7, MIUI, OMGB OMFGB, VGB, etc, any 2.3 based rom you'll want to ODIN the GB_Bootloaders too.
Superoneclick has had problems on 2.2.2 ed05. If you odin the stock ed05 package from pentafive, you dont need to flash a modified kernal to get cwm to stick! Also there is no need to root if your installin a rom, it will already be rooted. My suggestion is to start with powerwashed 1.2 rom get familiar with what you are doing before messing around with mtd gingerbread roms.

If you don't have any clue what ODIN is, or what CWM is, or even how to spell Cyanogen correctly, you have no business at all even thinking about being on CyanogenMod 7. Have to learn to crawl before you can walk before you can run. Read the stickies, read the stickies again, read the stickies again, know what you are doing and understand what you are doing before doing anything to your phone, then start simple with a debloated/deodexed stock rom or powerwash ED05.

There's no trick or magic or easy fix for rooting. Its all about experience. Once you've flashed 20 ROM's+...you'll understand!
I know that some of these are 150+ pages long, I KNOW...I've read them all! Trust me when I tell you, each page is money!
You've got an amazing machine, go read some of the ROM postings and learn the lingo, the steps, the problems and fixes. then root your fascinate.
You'll be glad you did.

Okay, so after installing the kang build 25 ICS for the vibrant, everything went fine. Randomly I get a random reboot and my phone says there was an "encryption error" and that I have to do a factory reset. Since I already had everything backed up, I didn't mind the data wipe. When it went rebooted the CWM screen came up and started wiping everything but when it got to the "formatting data" part, it failed. I tried this many times and it kept failing... SO, I decided to ODIN back to JFD. After doing so, all I get is the Vibrant screen, then an instant shut down. I even tried Eugene's old No Brick Froyo PDA, then tried to reinstall the JFD image, but got no luck.
Question is: What should I do now?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Its a little involved but It's all I could find to help buddy

It's not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish but It is a guarantied way to get your vibrant into successful download mode to reflash to stock.
At the least something to get you started
Good Luck!
Perhaps it could be a bootloader problem? If you're sure you are doing Odin right, including repartition with the pit file, you could look at your SBL.

Sorry but what is SBL?

I dont know how to explain it very well lol but to check if the rom you are trying to odin has the sbl in it. Rename it and put a .zip at the end. Then extract to see if its in there it should be named "sbl". To change it back simply delete the .zip off the original file.
JFD
I'm trying to ODIN the original JFD firmware, and I just checked that it does not have SBL in it.
Try odining a rom that has the sbl file in it thats probably why its not working.

The SBL is the Secondary Boot Loader, which is loaded by the Primary Boot Loader.
I haven't personally encountered any roms which also flash bootloaders.
I did manage to get my phone bootlooped in some weird way which apparently could only be fixed by reflashing the SBL. Note: flashing bootloaders is more dangerous than regular roms.
I am presently running a GB SBL from this thread:

a 301kohm jig is ONLY good if you have a valid Initial Bootloader, Primitive Bootloader, Partition Table AND Secondary Bootloader. If you damage any of those, a 301kohm jig won't work.

I have already tried the Heimdall method... and I can access download mode. I think the thing that is causing the bootloop is that the Data wipe fails after a restore. Thats when the bootloop kicks in

If you did Odin/Heimdall to stock after flashing the SBL, and it is still messed up, its beyond me and I'd really like to know the fix. Wiping should be irrelevant after Odining to stock.
If you are getting errors in recovery when you try to wipe/format/restore, that indicates a mismatch between the kernel and the partitioning or filesystem.

SO the thing is I used the GLITCH kernel with vibrant build 25... I dont think I was supposed to... could that have caused the problem? maybe a voodoo problem?
There are two glitch kernel series that I know of, one for CM7 and one for CM9 and ICS (I think, not sure, that all ICS builds and CM9 use the same basic filesystem scheme).
All stock builds use a Samsung FS scheme which is different from the two above. So there are at least three mutually-incompatible families of FS+kernel pairs.
I used the CM9 kernel I think...
After the installation went fine, I got the encryption error which told me to reboot. as soon as I did, I got the Data wipe fail. Any ideas?
Encryption Error
I'm going through the same thing. I had my phone at ICS passion for months, last night I noticed my phone was in a boot load screen, but it was dimmed. I simply went and took out my battery. . maybe not the best idea, cause I'm now unable to flash back to stock.
I used odin to go back to stock, but I keep getting a boot load/reset. Nothing is happening.
If anyone has found out more on this, please let me know. Thank you so much.

Hi Guys,
Sorry to bother you with this, but I'm out of ideas...
I decided to root my i9100 using this guide9.
As I was doing this, the recovery rom would reboot when using the volume buttons to navigate (only on the first "page") - This was easily worked around by using the touchscreen, but now I'm wondering if this was the start of my issues...
I applied the SU busy box installer, and got root. I installed rom manager, and noticed that it seemed to lock up when doing certain things. I put this down to CWM saying there was no official mod for the i9100.
The next day I decided to try and install a CM10.1 nightly, so I took a backup, wiped cache and data, and applied the rom and gapps.
When I rebooted, the phone wouldn't finished booting, it just sat at the initial logo screen.
After that, I tried following this recovery guide but the odin flash failed at around 80% (I retried and the same happened again).
Since then I've had difficulty getting in to recovery mode. I've tried flashing various stock roms with odin, and trying to restore with Kies.
In Kies I get as far as it conencting to the phone in download mode, but it pops up a "notice" in a foreign language - presumably Korean (and I can't copy the text to even attempt a google translation).
I tried flashing Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 to get a different recovery - that seemed to have a garbled progress bar, before hanging when I tried to wipe /data again.
When I use odin to flash a stock rom - is it supposed to restore absolutely everything? I'm not sure how I'm still getting problems if this is the case. Any ideas on what to try next?
(The current stock rom I'm try ing to use is this one)
Let me know if I'm missing any info, and thanks in advance for any help.
Using rom manager would have been the start of your problems-not the temp cwm recovery in the rooting guide.
If you can boot into download mode then I would download LP7 stock rom, disable kies and flash that with Odin.
{go back to your iphone since you are an android noob}
Thanks for the reply.
Rom manager didn't work properly for me, so I stopped using it. I used the temp cwm recovery to install the CM nightly.
I can boot in to download mode, but I've already tried an LP7 rom, - as with the others, it doesn't boot.
Any ideas on how to tell why it isn't booting? logcat doesn't seem to want to to work. Not sure if it's broken / too early in the boot process / etc

I9100 right?
Try this:
- Download this ROM.
- Kies installed? uninstall it, re install it. Close it all up with Task manager (3 or 4 applications running).
- Flash ROM via Odin (CSC, MODEM, PHONE).
- If that doesn't fly, try another usb port & usb cable. Another PC would also be recommended.
- Repeat the process.
- Still no luck? try flashing a previous siyah version.
- No go? repeat all the above.
- Let us know how you did.

For some reason, I can't get Odin to flash that rom - it just hands for a while at the start of data.img, before saying "Complete(Write) operation failed."

Tried everything?
Used another usb cable for the flash? tried in another PC? tried in a laptop?
Are you sure kies is all shut down?

I guess I'll keep at it then.
I'd tried another cable with kies shut down. Just tried a different machine, and flashed the ROM you suggested with heimdall. It flashed without complaining (unlike odin), but I'm still getting a boot loop.
Looking at the initial recovery guide I was following - I suspect that I might've flashed the bootloader (the guide shows in bold which file goes in which box, so I probably loaded them all). Maybe this is the source of my troubles...
I also noticed that heimdall can pull data from the phone too - if I can pull and mount these, am I likely to find any useful log files?
For completeness (and anyone else who finds themselves with the same issue): It seems I hit the EMMC brick bug, which rendered some of my EMMC storage unusable.
This helpful chap came up with a workaround to partition around the dead space. (Please read the post carefully and make sure this really is your problem before flashing!)
That method will let you know what part of your memory is corrupted. It's done via recovery as far as I remember.

Yes, that's right. IIRC, I flashed a working recovery with Odin, then did most of the work from adb shell.

That's for I9100, make sure you're packing the right model as well.

But it is rather concerning that if I hadn't of had a backup I would be screwed right now, I use Odin and I was using the thread you posted above, however even after flashing those and even wiping user data, it still boot looped.

If you can flash a back up you should be able to flash anything else. I mean, there's nothing wrong with your device.

Dude, your device was not "bricked" and it was of no concern. The problem was simply that you flashed a incompatible kernel.
To solve it all you needed to do was flash compatible kernel in download mode using ODIN and you would have then had correct cwm, root and rom would have booted no problem.

make sure you have all the files you need
rehearse the process
I know it sounds crazy, but these phones aint cheap and if you mess it up, can be pretty screwed.
so what is more valuable???? your phone or acting crazy and talking to yourself for a few minutes.
if you can still get download mode, your good, no brick
good luck
You flashed an older incompatible kernel with a newer ROM, but I guess you know that now. Flash the stock ROM found here using odin.

Go into recovery after install and do a factory reset. Then start over. Many have used the link that captemo has mentioned. There are newer versions of recovery than the one listed on that site but it will get you rooted. Look at this thread also. Since you are installing the stock ROM via odin you will not have to deal with the script mentioned here.

Just flash twrp with Odin, don't reboot into android, not directly into recovery after the flash finishes...
In recovery wipe data/factory reset.
When you go to boot it'll see you're not rooted and ask if you want to.
The easiest method to root.
