Help I'm still on super clean 2.9.2 - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to go from super clean 2.9.2 to cyogenmod
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

In the future, please post questions in the Q&A section (for those posting after me: there's no need to repeat this point - the matter has been sufficiently addressed).
Now that that is out if the way, the instructions in the original post in jt's CM7 thread should still work, even coming from SC 2.9.2
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...

Awe, I wanted to flame.
/me hangs head and kicks a pebble while walking away.
good day. using xda premium.

oooops, stupid app.
good day. using xda premium.

Odin EB01 stock tar file in the PDA section with the atlas 2.2 in the PIT section with "re-partition" checked. This will wipe data. Reboot. Odin clockwork mod (red) make sure "re-partition" is unchecked. Reboot. Flash superuser. Reboot. Download Rom Manager. Reboot to recovery through Rom Manager. Flash clockwork that is on the CM7 page. Flash the rom..it will reboot into an orange clockwork. Flash the rom again..this time it'll install. Flash the gapps/ec09 modem..or not. Reboot system.

I came from SC2.9.1 Voodoo and I got Cm7 in by applying eyes to jt's instructions then assimilating said instructions into brain. CM7 Went in like astroglide in a loose whore.

Please help, cant find fix for this. boots into clockwork recovery w/voodoo

Im not sure if im soft bricked or what. tried to flash back to stock tmo vibrant from nero v3 with voodoo with odin but i forgot to turn voodoo off. now it boots into cwr with voodoo. says voodoo is off but no voice to say its deactivating. I can still get into download mode. not sure what to do. please help the stupid noob lol
Were you trying to flash back to true stock 2.1? If so you'll have to flash a 2.1 kernel. If you didn't disable voodoo you'll have to use Odin. Look in the directory (bible), first post in the development section. There are noob friendly guides to help you out.

I must have missed it. Was flashing the wrong pda file with odin. Got it now. Thanks for the help.

Flash back to stock is what you will need to do. Look in the bible. To be safe, you may need to flash back to Eugenes' froyo that doesn't brick 1st, then flash back to stock. This rom can be found on his site eb-productions.com
There is an "All in one" zip that has the: stock rom, .pit, the computer driver (from samsung) and odin all zipped up together. Find that and then the froyo that doesn't brick and you will have a complete repair package.
It's not hard and this is faster than f-ing around trying some "maybe this will work" scenario..........
awesome!! back on stock 2.1-update 1 thanks again guys. will be more careful next time!

Is there a Voodoo supported CWMOD flashable Stock KA5?

I tried Nero 5 and I love it, no disrespect to Team Whiskey, but I get ZERO data on that ROM. Stock KA5 (even stock JL5) works fine. On Nero, I can manually enter my APN, select it, and nothing. I flashed and redownloaded both TouchWiz and the Standard V5.
On the stock ROM, I do not have this problem. I'd still like to have Voodoo speed and a working recovery, which is what I did NOT have with the stock ROMs.
Is there a working CWMOD flashable ROM that is basically a stock KA5 that supports Voodoo so I would NOT need to disable/remove Voodoo first?

No disrespect, despite what was shown, but, yes, I did read the thread you cited, and I am fully capable of reading in multiple languages, but I asked for a ROM, not a kernel.
It's just that I'd prefer not to have to go through the process of removing Voodoo, flashing to stock, rooting, flashing via CWMOD, etc.
So, again, is there such a ROM? That's why I'm asking. I've only been at this about 1 week, but I'm not ignorant. I'm asking for help.
This is not the place for this. Plz move to the Q&A forum. This has nothing to dowith development. Maybe you will find answers in the correct forum.

Once you flash the kernel, you will get your ROM.
Looking at your sig, you already have KA5 flashed. which would mean you do NOT have a voodoo kernel (which is why your asking?), thus requiring no need to disable voodoo. just flash the KA5 voodoo kernel and your all set. but moving forward you will have to disable/enable voodoo when flashing new ROMs. a small price to pay for the daily benefits of a superior file system.
disabling/enabling voodoo is uber easy. dl a terminal emulator or use adb.
From terminal emulator
Code:
$su
#reboot recovery
From computer using adb
Code:
\adb reboot recovery
Once your in the RED recovery screen goto voodoo lagfix -> disable/enable lagfix -> reboot
done.
Sorry, I hadn't updated my sig. I do have Voodoo and I am currently running Nero 5. Just trying to sort out my data problem.
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it very much. It helps.
What I did was just download the stock deo ka5, and the ka5 voodoo kernel, and replaced the zimage in the stock zip with the zimage in the kernel download. Flash away and no need to turn off voodoo.

Beat me to the post. This is exactly what I did. You can unzip the deodexed KA5 and pretty much add whatever you want to it. In fact, I just posted in that thread everything I added to mine. Just be sure its compatible.

[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

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.

[q] cwm 3.0.2.8

Hey all,
Totally went back to stock...so started with DL09 and then proceeded up to ED04. I installed CWM (red) and rebooted into it and then rooted my phone. Worked great...this morning decided to wipe the battery stats...now it just goes to the Samsung (blue) recovery one. I decided to reflash with ODIN and it still just gives me the Samsung one. Any ideas on how to get this working again???
It sounds like your flash may have failed. Maybe try it again. It might be easier and more reliable to use heimdall in this situation as well.
Also, I know it's early, but this is a question and should be posted in the appropriate section.

You have to download this and ODIN to the phone ...
Code:

... What's happening is when you are booting up fully it is replacing the new recovery with the stock recovery... flash this, then flash CWM .. all will be cool!!

Heimdall works like Odin. Cwr is being overwritten by the stock kernel, you should flash a custom kernel if you want cwr to stick.

You may have to flash a custom kernel to get your recovery permanent. I did the same thing to get the ed04 ota.
1. Flash the dl09 tar file in odin, don't reboot.
2. Flash the cwm3 odin file of your choice, don't reboot.
3. Boot into recovery using the 3 finger salute (should be the one you just odined).
4. Flash the custom kernel of your choice & reboot.
That should keep it rooted & keep cwm available to you, at least it did for me. The key, fwig, is to repalce the stock kernel cuz that is what will replace cwm when it boots.

[Q] Atlas v2.2.pit causes constant recovery

Ok so I was in the process of trying to install CM7 from Superclean 2.9.2 and tried installing CM7 through CWM (red). Didn't work...so I tried installing the fixes for the recoveries in case it didn't work via Odin...
My phone stayed in the boot animation screen the whole way rebooting into the same animation...
So i flashed dl01 all in one to get it to stock...tried reading up and saw that I was supposed to re-partition with atlas v2.2.pit through odin in conjunction with a full stock app...
everytime I flash something with atlas 2.2 ...it always ends up booting into blue recovery with no way to boot into phone. I've tried the Stock DL09 and I've tried it with the dl01 all in one package...no cigar...
At one point I thought it worked and I saw the boot animation with the cyanogenmod logo...but it errored and kept booting into error in which I could only catch a glimpse of the words...some include "mount"
How can I fix this and be able to install Cyanogenmod 7? Please include step by step...I am aware that it is noob to ask such things, but I've tried searching and came up with solutions that didn't work for me.
Thank You
Did you have "re-partition" checked in Odin when using Atlas? Also, double check the MD5 on the .pit in case the download was corrupted.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Reflash that .pit file with a froyo odin file. EB01 or ED01 will work. Then boot up fully. Then flash the dl09 odin file by itself, no .pit then boot OTA and profit.........
Just a heads up. Dont flash a froyo .pit file with an eclair .tar file. Youll boot into recovery evertime.
Just do what I said and youll be good.
check the repartition box and odin the atlas file first(wait for "pass"message)
reset odin
put phone in download mode again
odin dlo9 or eb01 package (no repartition)
Quick caveat on going OTA from DL09: VZW's updates now skip ED01 entirely and go direct to ED04. Keep this in mind if you prefer ED01

That is true. But you prob want ec09 radio anyway. Best ive used...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
no ec09 radio for me anymore. I was running cm7 and decided to install ec09. Stuff started disappearing from my sd card (I mean like entire huge folders). I'm sticking with the EDs
Just re-read OP and noticed you asked for step-by-step. There are a few guides out there, but this one by kidserious is the most up-to-date one I've found and it has yet to give me a single issue: Hope this helps!
EDIT: When using the aforementioned guide, I have always used the DL09 .tar and cannot speak for the EB01 .tar. YMMV
I have been messing with my phone alot lately and have had a bunch of issues(not booting, boot loop, different colore recoveries). So I put together a little folder for myself that gets me back to ED01 TW Debloated and OTB 1.6 kernel. If you would like me to post it or send you the folder with everything you need I can. at work now so it wouldnt be till later tonight
So I've tried starting off with kidserious's way of returning to stock...and it seemed to have worked for me because I was able to see the logo with no problem booting into recovery (red).
But when I tried installing CM7 Test Build 10 via CWM, and it didn't work...it went into repeat boot (blue) and before it started doing that after I saw "Installation aborted"
I'm actually now at a stump of how to install CM7 now...
If your using the DI01 file in ODIN you dont need to have the .pit file. Its a full stock ODIN it already has it. If you flash that to eclair your fine.

I apologize, but I'm confused by this. It's my understanding that the .pit is necessary if you're coming from a Voodoo setup. Are you saying that the DL01 .tar reverts the file system to stock on its own? Not challenging you, per se, just making sure I understand properly.

You've got it right, thats the whole reason for using the atlas and repartition checked, it's to format everything back to rfs(non voodoo) from ext4.( voodoo) or in this case mtd
This it's especially important when coming from an mtd build..ie. Cm7 and going back to an old rfs or ext4 rom. I'm no dev, just a flash a holic but I think of it like this, voodoo is just a lag fix modification of our original rfs(non voodoo) format, while mtd is a completely different format so we no longer have the luxury of a recovery that supports this ability to enable and disable our lag fix (voodoo)...which your new mtd format doesn't support. I don't even think it is possible to make a recovery that will repartition your system in preparation to flash any rom format you want
Again I am no dev and this is how I think of it to make sure I take the appropriate steps...it's just my way of remembering what to do when flashing
This is why every time you want to go back from an mtd build you must repartition with the atlas 2.2 to re format your previous mtd format back to the original rfs
Everyone I've helped with issues going from mtd to rfs/ext4 or vice versa I always suggest
rfs (non voodoo)--->mtd
Odin the 3-30 fix all recovery...immediately boot to cwr
wipe everything and flash newest cm7...(I used the 7/4 build but I see it's no longer available but the newest one works too) and reboot
power button menu to recovery...flash gapps/mtd kernels/misc.zip files you may also have with out wiping and reboot.
odin desired radio...reboot.. done.
Mtd---> rfs/ext4
Odin vzw eb01 with atlas 2.2pit and repartition checked
Fully reboot...then pull batt.
Odin desired recovery..(I still use 3-30 fix all cwr).....immediately three finger boot to cwr wipe everything and flash new rom/kernel (voodoo our non voodoo)...reboot
Hasnt done me wrong yet...no fc...no boot loops just flash a holic goodness!

go to this thread, read about the files you need, flash back to stock. here
Then root, install CWR, follow part of odin heimdall guide on how to keep root on ed builds, then get jt's Cyanogen MTD, supposed to have install issues fixed. here
Hope this gets you what you are looking for.

Please help! I have tried this numerous times, and my phone just keeps booting into stock recovery. It won't let me get past it.
I originally tried the .pit file with dl09 (mistake - I know), and it started the recovery mess. Then I downloaded the "stock" rooted eb01 file (EB01_DXC.tar.md5), and flashed it with the .pit file (atlas v2.2) and re-partition checked.
I have no other clue what's going on. I was just trying to wipe completely fresh to be able to load the CM7 Espresso on my phone. I've been running old CM7's for a while with the glitch kernels.
Help, please - I've been without a phone for the past 2 days. A huge thanks to anyone that can help me out!
I only use the DL01 or the ED05 stock packages. I think you should try those. I restored my phone when I was running SuperClean w/Voodoo with the DL01 package, no pit file.
Here is a link to ED05

I'm scared that I've already messed something up by using the pit file, because I actually had the full dl01 file, and nothing. Not really sure what would be different about the ed05 file. I mean, I'm gonna try it, but does any one else have a suggestion? Thanks.

a pit file is a pit file, they are no different for eclair or froyo from my understanding. I have no problems odin dl09 w/ pit...I actually got that tip from the stickies on the galaxy s forums.
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/fascinate-rs-guides/2911-how-upgrade-cyanogenmod7.html
as you can see by reading the link alot, there are alot of different guides out there with different methods and I have tried them all... Thats why I created my own guide with pieces from all the other guides that I felt worked the best. My best advice to you is spend alot of time doing research and form your own opinion on what works best. DO NOT take one posters advice as it being the correct way because there is alot of misinformation on teh internet!!
