New User STUCK! - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just bought a Fascinate used today and used the Fastroot method.
I attempted to install CWM using a .tar file. It won't go past the reboot now. I get stuck on the Samsung Recovery utils. Wipe cache partition wipe data/factory reset.
Help? Supposed to be a gift, I just wanted to optimize.

Ok, first off, you're using Odin to install the .tar, right?
Second, you're using the PDA button in Odin, right?
Third, which version of CWM are you trying to install, which file specifically?
Fourth, what version of the OS is currently on the phone and are you installing a different kernel? Since Froyo, the stock kernel will overwrite CWN on reboot.

Help going back to stock from Simplestreak

I downloaded my version of choice from the wiki but it is an "img" file.
Because of all the updating I've been doing, my phone only updates from zips now. How do I install the "img" file?
Thanks
Wait...
You downloaded an .img file? That means you downloaded the recovery image for the ROM you chose to use rather than the ROM itself. Stock ROMs use .pkg as an extension. In any event, you need to download the recovery image for the ROM version you choose to use anyway, because you will need to replace your existing recovery image with the one you downloaded in order to be able to flash a stock ROM.
I think I have this figured out. I have to flash the recovery img to my phone using fastboot then use the phone's recovery feature to install the pkg, correct?
Yup, that is correct
Make sure the update.pkg is on the root of your sdcard.
Make sure to backup before proceeding just in case.
I ended up back on simplestreak because nothing else would go back on and be stable, not even the nandroid I made a few days ago would run.
Put on the most basic version with no upgrades and it isn't too bad, although last night in the middle of a game of Angry Birds the screen went black and the phone restarted. Did it twice then started behaving properly again.
Might wanna try doing a factory reset after flashing the rom
If you still have StreakMod Recovery (the custom recovery) can also try wipe delvik cache and wipe cache partition then do your flashing
As usual, do a backup before proceeding!
Wipe all that before flashing? I keep doing it afterwards because that's what I saw for instructions somewhere.

[Q] 2.3.5 with KI3 . Unable to install CM7

Hi,
Currently using latest firmware KI3 with root.
I'm able to use CWM, backup, install zips, everything.
However, if i install a ROM trough a ZIP, i get a boot loop.
Only way to get back the phone, it's to install via ODIN with latest KI3.
Even tried with Litening Rom, and got the boot loop.
Any ideas ?
I was very keen to return to CM7.
Tx in advance.
Did you exactly what's mentioned here?
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Did you try flashing a old stock ROM like KH3, root it then try from this base?
I went from Villain ROM 2.3.5 to CyanogenMOD without any problems.
It's essential that you flash CyanogenMOD !TWICE! in a row when you're coming from a stock ROM.
Thanks.
Gonna check, as soon as i'm @ 127.0.0.1
Same behaviour, back to boot loop.
Tanx anyway!
I had a similar problem so here goes my help.
Cf root kernel uses a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or something like that. So what I did was flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693. Get the kernel with CWM 5.x.y.z With that I got a compatible version of CWM and from there I flashed CM7. It is important that you do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format \system, everything so you don't get any trouble. THen you flash the CM7 zip file, when tha t is done, flash the zip again for a second time (don't reboot just do it after the first flash). After that reboot. That worked for me at least.
A tip: If you can't reboot your phone and you have no ROM zip file to flash via CWM you can mount usb storage from CWM for putting the ROM in sd card and flash with CWM. That way you don't have to use ODIN to recover.
Tanx Tomas.
Tried with CWM 5.x.y.z and upon "WIPE" always got an error for mounting partitions.
Could't mount CACHE, SDCARD .....
Tx anyway.
Back to ODIN, back to stock 2.3.5
PS : I have to get a JIG to reset ...

GOD I feel like a noob! Optimus V, CWM, and rom issues

I rooted my device using Gingerbreak.
I have 2.2.2 installed out of the box. I installed CWM. I installed busybox.
Busybox failed. I tried all the versions that it contains.
I checked root status, and RootCheckBasic says I'm rooted.
I installed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. It will not reboot to CWM.
It only reboots to the standard Android recovery.
I'm trying to install Bumblebee ROM 2.4.
Here are some things I am having issues understanding with it...
Backup current apps and their data with Titanium Backup (available in the Market). Is this required? The phone is new. I have nothing to back up.
Do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything else below.
And the nandroid backup is done with CWM? Again CWM won't reboot, only the standard Android recovery boots.
Required if installing BB 2.x for the first time: Wipe. Wipe it all. Data, cache, system, dalvik-cache, sd-ext if you've got it (might need to look under Advanced or Mounts in recovery to do the last two, and while you're there format /system). I assume you wipe it all with CWM while in recovery?
If upgrading from BB 2.3, wipe cache (and only cache) in recovery.
Does not apply to me
If not upgrading from 2.3, install Wiper zip (see below), just to be extra sure that all is wiped. Don't reboot yet. Installing wiper.zip is done by sideloading using adb commands?
Install ROM zip (see below).
I assume this too is done by copying the zip to the external SD, then selecting update from SD card in recovery... right?
Please someone shed some light on this for me.
In standard Android recovery it says e3. I know on my Captivate I had to use Odin to install GB loaders to get it to work.
THANKS!​
Flashwork mod recovery? Never heard of it.
Try downloading rom manager from the market and use that.
Everything else should be simple

Oh, okay, um... are you using the reboot into recovery option in rom manager right after flashing?
After flashing what?
I reboot into recovery through rom manager and get:
Android system recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
_________________________________________________________
Android System recovery...
Do not pull out the battery!!
After hitting flash clockworkmod recovery, immediately hit reboot recovery
After hitting anything in CWM it did nothing more than reboot into the standard android recovery.
This phone has 2.2.2 on it. Problem? Probably.
I followed instructions at androidcentral and got it to work.
Needed Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM
Installed BACKside-IHO-VM670-11222011
using Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_VM_Recovery-signed
Had a little problem today and needed to activate the phone. BUUUUT......
the rom didn't allow activation.
So I installed Bumblebee. No go.
Then I tried [rom] basic stock rom.
Neither of these will let my phone boot. It gets stuck at boot.
Nothing happens.
I can still boot into Xiona_CWMA. But no roms will work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok, so I CAN load different recoveries.
They work, or at least seem to.
I can flash roms, but nothing happens (bootloop) or the phone comes on and works with a black screen.
I can call my number and can hear the call, but can't see anything.
Bullet if u found solution pls tell me too

I believe that may be due to the newer display in your phone (I'm new to this device so I dont know much yet). From the little bit of information I've gathered, devices manufactured recently have a different display that requires a kernel that supports it. In the iho roms this is included, on others you'll need to flash a kernel right after the rom.
For the stock rom I can upload what I use if you need it. Its basically the one posted here just with the boot.img swapped with one from a nandroid backup I made before switching roms
I think you're spot on with that idea.
I loaded CM7 variant, and it worked.
My question is, how do I get another ROM on it if it has the newer screen?
I loaded different kernels that were supposed to fix it, but no go.

bricked, again

I just did the biggest F-Up of my flashing life. While following QBKing77's Rooting & CWM with unlocked, at approx 3:50, during the flashing of the root SYSTEM.img file, rather than that file, I used the wrong file to flash used an IMG file that was meant for cwm, which is a completely different task.
So now I am trying to get into fast boot and try to do it with correct SYSTEM.IMG, then to find out I never got it downloaded, the link was deadand now I can not find where to DL it from. I must've not been paying attention and got ahead of myself.
Anyone know where I can a mirror of the file found here. Its the first link in the root section labelled "moto-fastboot flashable /system image".
Am I screwed? Does anybody have a copy of that system.img file laying around. I can not find any mirrors. That is the only way I can see this getting fixed bc I can still go into fastboot mode.
ckeck this ????

Can u get into rsd mode and flash 154_5 sbf
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Important files
Thank shabbypenguin for those
If you can get into rsd mode and connected/recognized in rsd lite you should be able to flash one of those sbf files and return to stock.
I read the instructions carefully! It said to put the oven on 350 degrees for 10mins but for some out of this world reason I put it on broil and let it cook for 20mins :/

LOL no kidding Custodian. I did get a laugh out of that.
Thanks CubanLuke & ShabbyPenguin. I did use RSDLite to flash the current sbf you directed me to, I can boot into the phone again. Thanks again.
Now as to how to proceed, I will have to unlock the bootloader again, np, but when I run into that very step where I broiled it, the rooting via speedboot.... would it be okay to root using AIO instead because I can not find the SYSTEM.IMG needed to follow along w/ the video using this method.
Can I just root a different method, then proceed on with CWM recovery, then flash rom from the video?

Thanks KTT. Okay, I'm back on track now. I am unlocked again, rooted as well. but I am not sure about 2 things. This will be my very first android rom flash and just coming from a big whoopsies, I just want to be sure.....
1) Format system: in cwm recovery, which option is that? I don't see "format system" in the main or advanced menu. Maybe its worded differently?
2) Flash ROM: I can only assume its either "Apply Update from SD" or Update from SD". Not sure which one though.

1) Format system is in the "mount" options. Although it's unneeded to flash a ROM. Personally I just wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache and have zero issues. Others may tell you different though.
2) "Install .zip from SD Card" then select whichever .zip you're looking to install.

Okay well I am in some trouble again. successfully flashed an alpha cm7.1, but it didn't have market and the one i installed did not work so decided to flash to cm7.2 via CWM. When it booted I didn't really see anything change, later realized that maybe I was suppose to wipe/format in cwm first(idk).
So I decided to flash 198_7, same one that I used to restore back to stock earlier. But I did not get back to stock. The process was 100%, it told me to manually turn on the device, which was in rsd mode. So I unplugged, pulled batt, reboot. The phone now starts up until the pulsing Moto logo then screen goes black, then it loops.
In the process I lost CWM & unlocked. So trying to flash a ROM via cwm is no longer an option. Any thoughts?

Flashing the 198_7 sbf unroots and relocks, so you're back to square one.

Reboot into stock recovery, when you get the recovery logo thing push both volume up and volume down at the same time to get the recovery options. Then do a factory reset and it should boot for you. After that, root and unlock again. And you didn't have the Market because you forgot to install Gapps...

The reason cm7 didn't have the market is that you needed to flash gapps. Try doing a hard reset. http://www.hard-reset.com/motorola-photon-4g-hard-reset.html That should do it.
try the 154 sbf

i had the same problem i think and was going thru boot loops but some one told me to start into recovery when you try you get that ? android screen from there hold down volume up and down at same time then wipe phone booted up fine after that.
It worked like a charm. Thanks. I'm still very new to android and hate to admit it but will be running into problems like these again. The best way to minimize it for me is, not only follow certain directions correctly to get out of these binds, but to understand them.
- So theres an image of the stock ROM stashed away on the phone regardless? And it can be accessed only via the stock recovery? Because after I succeeded in flashing cm7.1, I did a factory reset once from settings>privacy and that restored me to a fresh CM7.1. The factory reset from settings>privacy and in CWM is the same, but both different from the factory reset via STOCK RECOVERY?
- Also what would be the correct method to go from one custom ROM to another? Would it be this? :
(in CWM)
- Format system
- Wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache/dalvik
- Reboot recovery
- Flash ROM
Or can I just jump to install from zip ?
- Also regarding SD Storage (internal), only holds storage files? So on any fresh ROM there shouldn't be anything in that partition relating to that new ROM yet right? So I can delete things without worry?
You should not have to reboot into recovery, once your wipes are complete, normally you can just flash your ROM of choice in the same recovery session.
Before I flashed anything I would make a backup with CWM so you don't have to keep rooting and unlocking. You can just restore your backup.

After flashing 198 7 sbf, all u need to do is flash derpunlock not go through oem unlocking, then reflash recovery.
Simple generic process for going between roms (assuming already unlocked + cwm recovery flashed; process may be different for some roms, always make sure to read directions, but this is the general concept)
1. Download rom (and gapps if necessary) and put on your sdcard
2. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup
3. You made a nandroid backup right?
4. Secure your nandroid backup (move it to your pc or something).
5. You know where your nandroid backup is right?
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Install zip from sd (flash), choose the rom.
8. Reboot system.
At this point your rom should be all set. If for some reason you don't like it, simply boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup. You can even make nandroid backups of various roms if you want to swap between them for whatever reason.

So I may have just bricked my Galaxy S2 I9100, help?

Rooted my Galaxy S2 last night, running 4.0.4. This morning I used a rooted app I had downloaded which increased the processor or overclocked it or something. The phone then restarted and is now 'bricked' and won't boot past the initial "samsung galaxy sII" animation. Is there anything I can do? I don't have any backups and really don't wanna reset my phone to factory settings..
If I turn it off and then hold down the up volume button, power button and home button it boots into a screen showing the following
I know it's using 'clockworkmod' 6.0.1.5 and it also says "PhilZ Touch 3"?
" - Reboot System now
- Install zip
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Backup and restore
- Mounts and storage
- Advanced
- PhilZ Settings
- Power off "
Tried 'Wipe data/Factory reset' but no difference, still stuck at the "Samsung" screen.
Not sure what else to try, using a Mac so can't even use Odin fml, any advice? I'm thinking if I can get hold of someone else's smartphone, I could download a new ROM / Recovery file and put it in my phone, to boot from? Not sure what one I should get though

You just resetted to factory settings. Now you can try different things to get your phone up and running again:
first, I hope you don't have a GT i9100G variant, because i only know the GT i9100
-if you have used SetCPU: boot to recovery (that menu where you tried "wipe data/factory reset"). Then >flash zip from sdcard > flash zip from internal sd. Then navigate to setcpu_safemode_toggle or similar, it's in the root of your sd (meaning it's not in any folder, just on the sd). flash it.
-if you don't have that file, boot to recovery, there you "delete cache" and advanced > delete dalvik cache. Then try to reboot. If that doesn't help:
-try to reflash the kernel with which you rooted btw the one you wanted to overclock (looks like it was made by PhilZ...). if you have a stock rom (not AOSP, but a modded samsung ROM) try a cf-root kernel (use the search!) which matches your ROM (sorry, no clue how to find out if you don't already know... just try one of the 4.0.4 kernels)
I have never connected a device in recovery to a pc for file transfer. Maybe it helps to fiddle around with the mount/unmount options.
If all of this is no use, find a friend with a windows machine and use odin, or learn about heimdall suite. I heard it works on linux and maybe mac too.
Hope I helped.

Problem is, I think I accidentally formatted my SD card, so the original ROM is no longer on there /derp
Also, does this mean I've wiped all data from my phone?
I'm thinking I'm gonna have to try flashing it on there using someone elses SD card, as I can't see how I would get the files onto mine.
So you must download a stock rom (www.sammobile.com) and flash it via odin. DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING until you flash a safe kernel (syiah, philz, dorimanx...) or you'll face the real hardbrick!

You erased all user data and apps when using "wipe data/factory reset". You can find out if your sd is formated by trying to flash a zip in recovery. If your folders are gone, you did format. If it is formatted or unaccessable, It is also possible that it is connected to the SuperBrickBug, though it seems unlikely. The advice by googy_anas is good. It is the safest way. Odinflash a stock rom, and see if it helps.

Could you please link me a rom? I'm confused where to get them from, I used this link: technoxide(DOT)blogspot(DOT)com/2012/10/root-galaxy-s2-ics-4.0.4-xwlpx.html to install the root in the first place, using the "METHOD 1 : ROOT 4.0.4 XWLPX WITH ZIP PACKAGE" method, not requiring a PC.
I've tried flashing several different ROM's I found online, all of which have come up with a big red "FAIL" in ODIN, except the first one, which caused a yellow triangle to appear and made the screen go weird and wouldn't allow me to boot into recovery mode any longer.
What am I supposed to do? Where should I get the ROM's?

Could you please link me a rom? I'm confused where to get them from, I used this link: technoxide(DOT)blogspot(DOT)com/2012/10/root-galaxy-s2-ics-4.0.4-xwlpx.html to install the root in the first place, using the "METHOD 1 : ROOT 4.0.4 XWLPX WITH ZIP PACKAGE" method, not requiring a PC.
I've tried flashing several different ROM's I found online, all of which have come up with a big red "FAIL" in ODIN, except the first one, which caused a yellow triangle to appear and made the screen go weird and wouldn't allow me to boot into recovery mode any longer.
What am I supposed to do? Where should I get the ROM's?

I think you have kies program active on PC. Try to close it completely or end its task in the task manager, then retry with odin flash.
To be absolutely safe, you should also download a 4.0.3 rom instead of the unsafe 4.0.4
