Ok, this being my girlfriend's phone, I dont get to mess around with it often and am pretty new to it. I flashed CI500_VZW_EB01_FROYO_REL.tar.md5 via Odin 1.3 and also flashed the red cwm. I booted up and restarted to the cwm and installed the superuser that was with the busy box. when I installed titanium backup, it kept on force closing so I tried to go to cwm and factory reset, it would not mount the sd. Tried going into the mount/ unmount and mount there but with no luck. so I thought it was the sd card but when i go to install zip menu, I can access the sd card. what can be wrong?
is the phone a verizon fascinate?
Yea its verizon. Also superuser works... But titanium cant get access.

Its probably the permissions. .. Check super user to see if titanium is on allow. Can always reinstall

If you have problems with Titanium Backup its recommended to select Problems on the main screen and have it download a reliable busybox for TB.
If your wanting to be rooted you should Odin an EB01 package that comes rooted + recovery. I've never had to install superuser because its ready to go after you Odin.
If you want to start from scratch go here and follow instructions:

for the pit file:

hmm reading that guide kinda points to the bad voodoo conversion. Not only is titanium being force closed, all installed apps do it after a restart. What else can i do?
I had this same problem with Ti yesterday, all I had to do was go into sup and forget Ti, then go to appear manager and CFC clear data whatever, just make it forget you used it yet. Then I just ran Ti again, it asked for sup permission, everything worked fine then.

I clicked on the repartition and it never worked. I left it unchecked and it seemed to work until I tried to flash the radio. I changed computers and for some reason odin ran everything fine. Now I am running EC01.

Sorry if this has been answered (I know its frowned upon), but I'm a bit pressed for time. I installed Voodoo V3 a little while back on JFD, but disabled it for JI6 using the 'disable lagfix' file in Voodoo folder method.
Last night, I flashed Obsidian v3 with VooDoo, but the new version will not install (I'm assuming that Voodoo was not completely uninstalled), and I can't use any of the OCLF methods pre-installed with the ROM (says: You already appear to have another lag fix intalled! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5kb).
I am still running Obsidian v3.
I'd appreciate the help and a walkthrough if possible!
Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble.
Try to flash sombionix voodoo disable.zip file into clockwork recovery. You should hear voice now converting to rfs. Once done, and it boots up. Go back to clockworkmod, flash another rom without voodoo. Than you should be okay from there on.

Flashing the disable_lagfix.zip simply places a disable lagfix file in the voodoo directory (i think). I had that done before I flashed JI6 and obsidian...and the issue never went away.
Look in files folder, you see anything labeled voodoo?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Create disable-voodoo empty text file but save as disable-voodoo file and place it in your voodoo folder and reboot. See what happens.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
at the root of my internal SD is the Voodoo folder. Within it is a folder labeled logs, and also the disable_lagfix file i put in there to disable it. However, if i delete this folder, Voodoo will reinstall itself automatically when i reboot.
when i place the disable_lagfix file within that directory...it disables Voodoo, but does not completely rid the system of it. When I installed Obsidian v3 with Voodoo, it did not install the new version of VooDoo because the old one still existed. Also, OCLF also will not install and i think its also because of this.
Try pushing the disable voodoo via adb.

Swing by the project-voodoo dot org site and go to documentation (i would give you a link if i could post one but...). Follow the first set of instructions on there and you'll get voodoo out in no time. Now, I'm not entirely sure if the vibrant devs accept this as the proper method of removal for our phones but I just tried this a couple of nights ago to get Soniqu3's theme on Onyx R4. Hope this helps.
Use terminal emulator and type mount. If it says data/ rfs in there, voodoo is disabled. Are you using the oclf included in the rom? Sombionix said the one in the market will not work.
Last option for you. Do this...

Its the same thing oclf does, just not one click.

I can get into rcovery but I don't have the option to install from sd or make a backup. The options that I have are reboot, install packages, clear cache and there is on more I can't remember I don't have the phone with me. Install packages dies nothing but show that it can't find any update zip files. I think its not recognizeing my sd card. I have pics and music on my sd card and it works fine so I don't know what's going on.

Sounds like stock recovery. Did you download rom manager? Did you flash cwm recovery. If so reboot into recovery through rom manager
download ROM Manager, and click the first option, its like flash clockwork recovery, choose your device, and then it'll finish, then try going back there, and it should be in GREEN or something

I've done all of that. That's how I get in recovery. And its green writing. The weird thing is that I've been able to flash some roms before then I end up wanting to do something else so I use my backup and go back to stock. I did have some problems with the backup that I did and had to use odin to fix it. I then relized that I did not odin the update j16 file so I then did that. I've got the nero rom ready to go just can't get to the right recovery. I do have the clockwork recovery that I got with the rom manager.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Is there an "advanced" option?? If so go to that then you should see reboot recovery. Then you should see the install from SD card option. Also, try mounting your SD card to the computer. And try pulling out your battery while phone is still powered on.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you are going into stock recovery after flashing CW Recovery from ROM Manager, you need to select "reinstall packages" in stock recovery (it may need to be selected twice). Then you'll go into CWM.
Also, don't delete the "update.zip" file on the root of your sd card...that's the CWM file, which is what is installing when you select reinstall packages.

I think my problem is with the update zip. I downloaded the new nero b4 and when I look in my files I see it but I can't open or do anything with it. But if I look in astro I see it and I can do something with it. So its something to do with the file app. Its changing it to something that I can't do anything with. I go into recovery and reianstall packages and it looks like its working but then says aborted.

Download titanium backup free/pro, menu, more, create update.zip
Remove the old one before doing this.
Then flash clockwork recovery through rom manager, then try it

Go into ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." That will put the update.zip file back on your sdcard.

Some of the Developers have said it helps to completely wipe everything as in odin back to something like EB01 with the pit files so it repartitions your internal storage. Essentially it's reformatting your phone to new again, then of course rooting unless you odin in CWR your then drop in your favorite rom. it helped me the few times i had a ton of FC issues and the one time i had SOD. just my suggestion though.
First though, do you have GizmoDroids fixed CWR? Ihttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017817f not you might want to start here before you do anything else.

I've done a full wipe with Odin just the other day. Didn't do the pit file though. Maybe I'll give that a try since I'm probably going back to try the dl09 modem on froyo to see if signal issues stabilize. Thanks for the input!
Any other suggestions?

I have had sporadic results running the fix permissions from inside CWM. With the different versions/fixes/patches to it I am never sure which one I am on so I don't use that method at this time. Try running the fxpms from a terminal emulator with root access after boot up, or with adb. That should run correctly.
I have also had tons of force closes lately and found that the problem was that the database was getting corrupted after trying to restore apps + app data in Titanium Backup. Only way I could get that fixed was to wipe and reload a rom and manually install the apps. After that I haven't been having issues with FCs.

I Need to wipe EVERYTHING from my phone and start fresh. I have been a flashoholic and now I am seeing weird things happening with my phone. I have flashed system, kernel and PIT with Odin back to original 2.2 release, wiped everything off my SD card, but I am still seeing weird things happen. For instance, wallpaper that was on my SD card randomly shows up on my phone, and it will change to other wallpapers randomly. My contacts from facebook, keep showing up, even after I delete them. I am getting random force closes on Facebook, launcher pro, BLN and titanium backup. I can delete these programs, reinstall them and they seem to work, until I reboot the phone.
So how do i completely wipe ALL from my phone, and start over so I don't see these things happening?
Could it be something to do with voodoo/non voodoo? I think I odin'd back to stock without converting voodoo back, but can't put a finger on it, if that was the cause.
I was looking to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784 and was wondering if that may help.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
anyone have any ideas? I'm dying here.
Here
That was the first thing I tried, but I am still having issues. The random wallpaper is really confusing to me. It's like there is still some data somewhere that I can't seem to wipe. Could it have anything to do with me doing the above from voodoo and not disabling lag fix?
I used ODIN to go back to DI01, did ota to EA28, then did the ota to ED01. Shut off phone, pulled battery, ODIN cwm-recovery-all.tar, booted phone straight to recovery, flashed Adrynalyne's superuser package (includes busybox), then flashed the EC10 kernel. Phone is working great.

This may be a silly question, but when you are loading a ROM, are you reinstalling apps from Titanium, or from the market?
When the ROM is reinstalled ull restore the Apps from titanium pro or u can also re download them like normal

I have done this with odin, but haven't tried Hiemdal. Is it different? I will certainly try if it is.
Just pure guessing... on the phone, does
Settings --> Privacy --> Back up my data
or
Settings --> Privacy --> Automatic restore
have anything to do with this?
Will
Settings --> Privacy --> Factory data reset

I have a rooted samsung fascinate, with stock rom/kernal..
Anywho I was playin around with installing some apps and I wanted to install the free version of Printershare, but instead of getting it from the market I used an APK file to install it from my sd card. Well the file appears to have been corrupted, so I attempted to uninstall it through root explorer, as well as remove all traces of the program. When I went to reinstall the program from the APP market, I now get the error "Installation Failed.. Update Incompatible." I searched around to figure out what that meant and in the process I noticed that the com.dynamixsoftware.printershare package was still listed in my manage apps section, but I am not able to uninstall it from there. I searched for it in root explorer but like I said I deleted all traces of printershare before so i didnt find it there. If anybody can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!! THX!
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong section I'm new to XDA
What version and base band are you running? It may be overkill but you could just odin a stock rooted rom..since thats what you have now it will overwrite all your user data but it should completely get rid if those lingering files

Do you have CWR if so boot into recovery, wipe dalvic, wipe cache, reboot. Should fix it.

Thanks for the help folks..
I went into CWM and deleted the dalvik and the cache which didn't help, I still get the "incompatible update" error.. even though it now tells me in the market that Printershare is not installed yet?
I supposed I may have to Odin a stock rom even though I'm not sure about that yet.. If I did id probably just make the jump to a custom rom. But If anybody else has any suggestions or ideas before I go into odin with a new rom, It would be greatly appreciated.
You are going to have the same problem with any Ron till you Odin. You shouldn't be afraid of Odin, I found on a sanding forum that Odin came from sanding, it is their program for loading android onto their phones, I would post the link but I don't remember exactly where I found that at. If you need help with Odin or files look in the general section for the fascinate, I posted a very easy to follow walk-through with all files you will need.
