[Q] Samsung nightmare - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am new to this so I need help. Got impatient with verizon a few weeks back and downloaded and flashed my phone with Odin using ED01 build of Froyo for Verizon Samsung Fascinate. Everything was great, the phone was rooted and had CWM Voodoo lagfix recovery 2.5.1.x. Verizon releases Froyo finally and I decided to flash my phone back to Verizon Stock using DL09-leak zip. It loaded fine and starts fine. The only thing is now my phone is stuck with zero memory showing in the internal memory. I can't add apps or do anything. There isn't even enough memory to keep the initial setup setting. I have to enter them each time the phone is powered up. Someone tell me how to fix this problem. There are no apps on the phone above stock apps. I even backed up my SD card and reformatted it to be sure there was nothing on it mucking up the system. Same result.
Had Nandroid backups which when restored had lost apps from previous and also no memory. Can't even download terminal emulator to do command lines, even if I understood them.

It's a voodoo problem. Flash DI01 full Odin package and it will be fixed.

Had the same issue. Used the D101 and fixed. Since then re-rooted and running the cm7 rom and kernels. Kept the d101 in my computer with odin just in case.

[SOLVED] voodoo help. Please.

Ok, So I flashed superclean 2.7 and it borked my phone. So I used Odin and the EB01 and PIT files mr.adrenalyne gave us as a fix for the situation. So after flashing via odin, I flashed CWR ALL tar file. Up until this everything worked great and I thought my ordeal was over. I opened root explorer and noticed a file called voodoo saved. So I booted into recovery and it went straight to red. Used to go to blue recovery then I would have to apply update.zip to red. So I checked the voodoo in recovery and it said lagfix and voodoo were both enabled. Im very puzzled by this and really only have 2 questions. How did I get voodoo and more importantly how do I get rid of it? As in total stock no traces of voodoo. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

read.
Whats up mike, I followed this method over at the AC forum, It doesnt work. After I disable lagfix and flash a new non voodoo kernel I then go into odin and flash back to stock EB01, boot, flash new CWM all and boom. Back to.voodoo enabled. I think im gonna have to format internal SD card to rid myself of this. Something is off and I cant seem to get of voodoo.

Try adrynalyne's 2.7 fix. There is a tar/odin in there that you should flash. It sounds like a dbdata issue.
After flashing the eb01 all in one, you can flash whatever rom you like.

it does work. you are missing something. if you flash nonvoodoo kernel and you can boot your phone then you dont have lag fix enabled. get quadrent from the market and run it. what is your score.
Ok I finally got it, I took a little trip over to the IRC, where one of the devs helped me figure it out. Turns out I must of picked up a corrupt file somewhere. Ive flashed my phone so many times since DL30 leak showed up I couldnt tell you where it came from, but no matter what I did or flashed I was still showing voodoo. To make a long story short I ended having to use heimdall to go back to the original build, the one before DI01. After that was done I was able to build my way back to EB01. Thanks for the help its all good now.

Can't get to Clockwork recovery

Hello all, I'm hoping I can get some help. I cannot get passed stock recovery to Clockwork recovery. I am rooted and have done this many times so I know that you have to reinstall packages to get there, sometimes twice, but I have done it repeatedly and it keeps going back to stock recovery. Any ideas?

Maybe install ROM Manager and reflash the ClockworkMod Recovery?
You may need to check if you are indeed rooted check by manually going into Download mode, if that works you may need to reflash CWM, if not then you may need to reroot the phone
I've tried going though rom manager and it takes me to the same stock recovery. Reinstalling packages isn't working. I used Odin, went back to stock, used samsung kies mini to update to Froyo, Super one click root, and then 3e recovery. I'm not sure if I'm musing something but I've fine all of this before and had no issues until now.

I'm also having a problem with this, but it didn't start until after I flashed CM7 for Vibrant. Now the i9000 boot up goes before the Vibrant one, as well as not being able to get into CMW.
I finally got into recovery, had to reinstall packages about 45 times. Thanks for the help anyway

Yellow CWM 3.2.0.0?

So to start off, i was having some issues with not being able to make a nandroid. I was getting bad boot image errors. I had tried everything from atlas pit with fresh stock, to the new gb, and now comrom 2.0/2.1 with the non voodoo setup. I was recently downloading some new kernels to try and really wanted to try them out. So i tried pbj -50v, flashed via cwm red, still unable to perform nandroid. Saw kernel flasher lite on market and tried to flash via it, failed. Downloaded pbj sv, tried flashing it via sgs kernel flasher, success kinda, it failed to perform reboot as app stated it was doing. Used tsm power mod to boot into recovery. It came up yellow and as v3.2.0.0! This is new to me as i had been out of the root scene due to a faulty micro usb port, as i was only able to achieve dl mode and recognition of phone in odin once and immediately stocked it and ota'd thru the months. Finally got vzw to send me a refurb running ed04. I immediately installed cwm, failed nandroid. Tried ec09 &then nameless 4.1until it borked my sd. That's when i popped in my my old bb storm sd and started on my quest as stated above.
Anyone know what i did, lol?
*Forgot to mention that i was able to do a nandroid in the yellow cwm. Yay!

I called flash mananger lite by the wrong name above. I called it kernel flasher lite by mistake.

Yellow cwm is specific to the pbj kernels

Hi. I had a similar (I think) problem. I had CWM 2.5.1, and was getting a date of 2000-1-1 on repeated attempts to backup. Tried 3.0.2.8, but the backup image failed immediately. Someone replied to a post I made and said that he had the same problem, which was fixed by enabling voodo. I assumed that meant I had to flash a voodo kernel in order to enable voodo. So, knowing that I probably want to flash Evil Fascination, I flashed imnuts' 531 -100uv voodo kernel and booted into recovery. Wasn't expecting what i saw - Yellow CWM 3.2.0.0. Different. Ran a buckup, and...Success! Checked the clockworkmod folder on SD, and there is a backup file with the correct date.
I was evidently getting the date error. Looked in my sd and there were at least 4 folders labeled as you mentioned. I'm on otb1.6 now, as i couldn't get the voltage control app to work on pbj -50. I'm currently on cwm red and doing valid nandroids as well. I've been running stable at 1.4ghz on demand setting. Got a 1917 quadrant this morning. Finally happy. Doing little visual tweaks now.

Simply stock installation help

Ok so I tried to install the simply stock 2.3.5 yesterday and when it was going through I got some ladies voice who kept repeating the same line over and over. 'converting cache partition. Not enough space on partition' and kept boot looping that over and over. Could not do anything with it after that except DL mode and odin back to stock. Could some one please take a look at this rom and give me some instructions for it because the ones that were in the thread weren't all that specific. Also could someone give me the best root for this phone because the one I used may have been the cause.
Also there is a fixer file for this rom that apparently addresses some problems it has... How would I go about installing that zip?

Has anyone ever even used this rom before? -.-

[HELP] Semi-Bricked phone on voodoo kernel

Hello,
My phone was previously running an unofficial version of MIUI and AOSP voodoo kernal. My phone became very buggy and what I was running on was old so I wanted to update to newer things out there today. So I knew I had to disable the voodoo kernel before installing the new ROM but getting into CWM via "Volume up and down and power" didn't seem to be working so I got into CWM using MIUI's reboot option. Unfortunately, this took me to a normal blue CWM so I though huh i guess I don't have voodoo installed then. So I wiped data and cache and attempted to flash the new ROM. about 10% in it rebooted my phone and now it gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo. I actually can now get into the red voodoo CWM for some reason, but I can't disable it because my phone won't boot. Even though I can set it to disable since it won't boot im guessing it wont actually disable.
How can I get my phone back to stock so I can start over?
Thanks.
You need to see droidstyle's guide on flashing rooms and going back to stock. You should not have three fingered into recovery. There us a section there for your particular situation.

You should have put it into download mode and re-flashed your radio choice with atlas pit 2.2

Sorry, I resolved this by flashing a DI01 Image over Odin.
