I have tried for the past 4 hours to install the AOSP MIUI ROM. I have tried a newer recovery, a mtd kernel. No luck. I install the rom in CWM 2.5, but it boot loops at that point and states that the sd card can not be mounted. It then counts down to 20 and resets over and over. Can anyone shed light and provide steps?
Well the first thing I would do for yourself is to Odin back to stock using the 2.2 pit file as well as odining the stock 2.2 ROM. Make sure you repartition as well so that everything is formatted!!! This will solve SO many issues and give prospective forum members a place to start with your problems you are having.
2.2 Pit file - http://download180.mediafire.com/09z...atlas_v2.2.pit
2.2 stock froyo - http://www1279.megaupload.com/files/...EL.tar.md5.tar
I am going to assume you have odin and not link a download simply for the fact that if you have read ANYTHING pertaining to CM7 or MIUI in our forums you should be well aware of how to use it.
After wiping you will need to flash the modem you want via odin. They are located in the sticky in the dev thread.
After this you will need to flash the CWM that is located in the CM7 or MIUI threads themselves.
here is a link : cwm3_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar
Use odin to flash it, then simply flash the AOSP package of your choice from the their respective threads here in the forums.

Also worth noting that I missed in the first post. You mentioned CWM 2.5....sadly this will not work nor will it work with any other CWM floating around. The ONLY way currently to flash it is with the CWM I linked above. These are from JT and fixed to work with the AOSP ROMs.
from JT himself
*** The recoveries attached below are ONLY to be flashed on a BML ROM, ie: touchwiz based ROM or earlier, non-MTD CMx ROM. DO NOT FLASH THEM IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY ON CM7 OR MIUI MTD ROMS! ***

Thank you, I tried to use the new recovery provided by JT, alas it did not work for MIUI, I will try again tomorrow when spirits are higher, I usually start from DL09 and OTA my way back to ED04, Do i have to stay on EB01 or can i use ED04, and yes i am familiar with odin. Thanks again my friend.

Don't quote me.... It shouldn't matter (EB01, ED01, ED04...etc) All that is needed is the updated recovery to run the package install. The package will format your filesystem so your version should not matter. If you are referring to the modem... its your preference. I am on EC01 but last time I was on like ED04 or something...
Might also try flashing CM7 first, booting in, then flashing MIUI since they use the same BML format.
Still no dice, I'm sick of trying this, I have Odined back to 2.2 around 10 times already. A good write-up is definitely necessary.
What kernal are you loading with ED04, etc.. before trying CM7?
Stock as i think i read that the rom includes a kernel, should i try a MTD kernel and then flash CM7/MIUI?
No, I was just making sure you weren't loading any voodoo kernals.
When I had issues loading MIUI, I went all the way back to the DI01 all in one rom (odin) then DL09, then CWM Fix all (3.x), then MIUI. Load the rom before you load the MIUI cwr.
I'm having major problems too. I've tried about every method to get onto CM7, but I either end up with boot loops or get stuck on the GalaxyS/CM7 boot screen for a long time (over 30 minutes).
I've started from almost every platform (stock back to DI01, comrom, evil, ....)
Used JT's cwm and still no go. I've rebuild my partitions in both odin and heimdall, I don't know what else to try myself.
I've gotten to the same place with the Galaxy S and Cyanogen screen, help is appreciated.

im in teh same situation. ive tried doing everything i can find and i NEED miui on my phone.
haha seriously any additional help would be appreciated
So I just rooted my wife's phone and froze as many apps as I could without glitching the system out with TB. The phone was super laggy from the box but now it seems better but she said today that it froze on her a couple times. I come from a Droid X with GB 2.3 rooted and it's pretty fast for me. Even when it was stock it was quick. I'm not sure what else to do. Since it's my wife's I would rather leave it as close to stock as possible. Any suggestions.
Also is there a list of apps that can be froze in TB without causing other issues. It may be possible I froze one to many.
Thanks for your time.

I would suggest you follow this link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048380
Download and flash one of the "DEBLOATED/DEODEXED"
These types of ROM's are completely stock just with all of the crap removed (bing and the VZW bloatware)
Shark has the thread updated to the 12th of June so they should be up-to-date.

I read over it all and my wife's phone is ED04 which is not in his list. I think this is exactly what I am looking for. I understand most of it except the modem stuff. There are so many numbers and versions to use. This is so different than my droid x. If I would have started with her phone first, I probably would have never attempted to mod it. Anyways what should I do now? Would it be better to flash a rom that's not stco but stable and fast. Just for giggles I did a quadrant test on hers and mine. She barely broke 900 while mine is over 1900. Seems like a huge difference being both are 1g processors.
Thanks for the help.
Terry
Barely breaking 900 is normal if you are not using a voodoo enabled kernel. The rfs partition is what is the biggest bottleneck. If you truly want a snappy rom, jump to comrom or evil fascinate. I use both equally and both will give you the speed you are wishing to match from your dx. As for modems, your wife's modem is compatible with either rom I mentioned.
For now I would suggest keeping her phone froyo based as gb is still being worked on by our awesome devs, but isn't for the faint at heart just yet IMHO

Perfect, exactly what's needed. So do I follow these steps even tho is says from ED01.
Install Instructions:
If you are coming from a stock ED01 non rooted build follow these instructions:
Download Evil Fascination and place it on your SD card
Download Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/?msnc375idu7xhqt
Download Recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?pfuhk4ibn9uore3
Install Samsung Drivers for your pc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779238
Remove battery from the phone
Connect the phone up through USB and hold volume down during the connection
Your phone will be in download mode
Open up Odin and click on the pda button and select the recovery file
Click Start on Odin - phone will reset when flashed
Hold volume up and down and insert battery back into the phone and boot it up. Hold volume up and down while it boots up and it will boot into CWM recovery. If it has boot up to the startup animation you will need to start over and reflash recovery through odin
When you are in CWM recovery continue with the instructions below.
If so I'm ready to flash it.
Thanks
Terry
Yeah that looks good. Just use Odin (pda button) to flash your recovery. (Ensure you are using the PDA button. Cannot emphasize that enough)
Then follow the steps outlines. You're good to go.

Thanks a million. Will update after flash.
Terry
Just to make sure since there are a million different downloads is this the right one to download. (highlighted in red is the one)
CR 2.0
These versions will wipe your data, so make sure you back it up
This version contains the EC01 modem/radio and imnut's 05/31 PBJ -50mv nonvoodoo kernel
This version contains no modem/radio and imnuts' 05/31 PBJ -50mv nonvoodoo kernel
So this one would be without the kernel which is the modem/radio.
Then I do this patch for 2.1
Com Rom (froyo) 2.1 (patch, must flash on top of 2.0, no need to wipe):
md5: 725f94fa1cad7e562a767cd61ecd590b
And then this theme.
[THEME] Crysis Revolution v4.0 *Community ROM 2.1!* *6.20.11*
Is this all correct and in the right order. I want to 100% sure before I do this. Man is it so much different than flashing my DX.

this looks fine, no need to worry about the radio I believe it will use the one from whatever baseband you're at before you flash (ED04 I believe you said) or you can flash the one with ED01 radio... yes ComRom with imnuts' PBJ kernel is good, I would suggest the voodoo kernel one but its up to you, patch on top of that then theme after and you should be set
tapatalked from my GINGERBANGED Fascinate
As anoninja said. You should be good to go. Thing to keep in mind is that it is very difficult to brick your fascinate. Not impassible. But difficult. As long as you stay with fascinate files, never try captivate, vibrant, i9000, etc, stuff, then worse case scenario, you may have to odin back to stock and try again, but even that's unlikely. Good luck. Keep us posted with your progress

Hey thanks guys, feels better knowing it's not so easy to screw my phone up. I read a little about voodoo before work and yes, I do want to have it. So the majic question is, which one.
Thanks
Terry
Well if you choose evil fascination with the kernel, I think out will automatically convert you to voodoo so no extra steps other then to wait for the conversion after it boots.

After doing some more research I have decided to go with Com Rom 2.0 then patched to 2.1.
I am going to go with this one:
*Fixed* UKB 2.0 with -50 PBJ Voodoo Kernel ***6.4.11 (script fixed)
md5: 1092A4F02F668521D633670A80BA127C
My wife doesn't like the all black theme on the evil rom. Now I am still a little confused on the kernel thing. I have been reading for awhile now and will continue to do so. I'm not understanding if I have to flash the kernel first or rom first. I have been through the fascinate development thread over and over and while most put "how to's" in them, I still don't understand in which order things should go. There is so much to do just to flash a rom on this phone. But I know I will get it done even if I have to start over from fresh. So many roms, kernels, updates, 2.2.3.4.6._______, etc, etc...... What exactly is a kernel? I come from the droid x back ground where we root, cwr, then flash. That's it. Also to me Odin seems to be a 3rd party app that's needed to flash CWR. Other than that is there any other use for it. Sorry for all the ?'s but I like to do my homework before I do something like this. I am a pretty good self learner but the way things are worded for the phone is a little confusing at times. Maybe a step by step list if starting fresh.
EX- 1-root
2-odin
3-cwr
4-kernel or rom or both
Something like that would be easier to understand. Anyways I always appreciate any help I get.
Thanks

yes odin is a 3rd party program used to push installs, and most roms nowadays will root you and install kernel (most come with it built in unless otherwise specified) when you flash them so no worries about rooting or kernels... a little about voodoo here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043673&highlight=voodoo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039897&highlight=voodoo

https://docs.google.com/document/d/...XcM268FoIzk/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKqWypcP&pli=1
I'll try and make it simple, this is how I did it and had no problems:
1. obvious step, have all the driver, programs and packages you need ready to go: samsung drivers and odin on your pc, both ComRom 2.0 and 2.1 patch on sd card
2. assuming you're already on EB01 froyo baseband or higher, you wanna use odin to install CWR
3. from CWR make any backups you want then wipe data/cache/dalvik
4. flash .zip of rom you want (ComRom 2.0), select reboot phone once to ensure it took. Since you're flashing a voodoo kernel on first boot you should hear a robot lady saying she's formatting partitions, this may take a while but its normal
5. once it started up power phone off and boot again into CWR (or use power button menu to boot straight there with 'recovery' option)
6. flash .zip of ComRom patch, no wiping needed and select reboot phone
7. congrats you're rooted, voodoo'd and running ComRom 2.1

You are the shiz nik. Perfectly worded and the timing couldn't have been better. Phone has both files ready to go. I found some more literature on kernels and now understand what it does. Pretty much controls performance of the phone. And I see roms with and without kernels. For my first time with this phone I will go with a kernel/rom. The radio is stock ED04 which I will leave stock. Will update after I finish all of this. My wife will be stoked now that her phone will run smoothly. Thanks for the detailed explanation for me.

I just wanted to thank all of you that helped me here. Running Com Rom 2.0 w/2.1 patch. It's nite and day compared to how the phone was. So much smoother and no lags as of yet. My wife couldn't be happier now with the phone working like it should be. I did encounter one issue tho. I could not create a backup. It would read an error message. (forgot what it said) Anyways thanks a million for the help. The crt animation is awesome and I love the functions when powering off. Rebooting instead of powering off then on and especially booting into recovery without pushing the volume rocker. Well I am going to add a theme for her so richen it up and go from there.
Just got it to backup as I was typing this. After reading thread after thread it seemed like you either had to flash a kernel other than stock or flash a rom before it would back up. I even tried red, blue, and purple with no luck. Oh well at least now it's backed up.

Ok guys, I have a captivate and I am super familiar with rooting/flashing/kernels/modems, etc... I just got my wife a fascinate and I was wondering if I could use the same method to flash ROM's as I do on the captivate. I already noticed that my jig also works for the fascinate. Here is my method...
1. Put desired ROM on SD card
2. Get into DL mode (Jig)
2. Flash a CWM compatible kernel with odin
3. Boot directly into recovery (wipe date/cache)
4. Install ROM
I hunted for some good videos but it seems the fascinate gets no love on youtube unlike the cappy.
Also I was wondering if someone could recommend a good stable froyo ROM for my wife's phone. She doesn't care about GB or anything like that, just want stability and to be snappy. From a fellow galaxy lover, Thanks in advance.
Actually there is a video on how to root the fascinate on youtube. Thats how I first learned. For froyo rom's I would look into geewiz or powerwashed ed05 1.2, you can flash the no kernal version then flash the stock ed05 kernal if you dont want voodoo. Both very stable daily driver roms per say. Although I am really starting to like this powerwashed eh09 rom by ccompos aswell. The tks kernal really woke the rom up. Only issue I have found is the flashlight app don't work and I thought data was crappy but today its been very good.

You've got it for the most part, you have to Odin cwr, and immediately boot into recovery by holding up, down, power
until you see the 2nd Samsung screen then release the power but continue to hole both volume buttons until you get into recovery, you have to flash a non stock kernel the first time or the factory kernel will over write recovery and you'll have to start over, but most roms lately will contain a kernel so no needed to install the kernel first...unless the OP specifies that it doesn't contain one
You can enter download mode by connecting the USB cable to PC, or wall charger and removing the battery and holding the volume down button until you see the DL screen...the jig for the fascinate is normally for worse case scenarios...so keep it around but hopefully you'll never use it for the fassy!
As long as you follow the directions from the OP for what ROM you decide to run ie: some roms may require a specific recovery to flash properly, or Odin flashing to revert back, or other instructions specific for that ROM...that said I haven't been on a tw based ROM in a while so I don't have a suggestion other than experimentation and reading through posts of a potential ROM choice.
Whichever you run i'm sure your wife will love it, and if not, there are plenty of choices.

Everything went good, but when I go to choose SD from zip it says "can't mount SD card" I cant seem to mount the internal SD either. Does it matter where exactly you put the ROM?
Yes ROM should go on the root of your sd not in a folder But that is mainly for easy finding... Which sd card are you using...capacity/brand?...which ROM are you going to? and which recovery are you using and how did you install recovery

I ended up flashing geewiz because you could fully flash it with odin. Maybe its because my phone isn't activated yet but I'm having some difficulty mounting the phones internal memory. I cant get past the screen where you first program the phone. I have a kingston 4gb card. I tried powerwashed and followed his instructions perfectly but I think I need to get the phone activated so I can actually tinker with the OS.
getting to be far too familiar a scenario lately....
lately EVERY time i reboot my phone (running ics build 2, 3 and 4, stock kernel) it gets stuck on samsung logo.. somehow my phone will only boot into the frigging cm7 recovery which as im sure youre all aware is rather useless to fix any problems im having in ics and leaves me unable to flash, backup, or restore anything. it's quite frustrating and i have no idea how to fix it but by going back to bml, re-partitioning, then odin ei20 modem, cm7 fixed recovery, then flash back to ics but doin this every reboot it getting very tedious..
ive read about recovery loops, but the fix doesnt work for me as i cant mount the ICS /system partition in cm7 recovery...and ive been all over trying a zillion things to get it to work and havent pulled dmesg or logcat but if someone thinks it would be useful ..i wish i knew why EVERYTHING is great, then BANG, reboot and it's FML city.
i should add this phone is a replacement via insurance and that the entire time ive had it, i've been having this problem to varying degrees of intensity,.sometimes if i rebooted enough the ics boot animation would finally come up and freeze part way through, and in the first week with this phone is seemed fine. the first few times i rebooted and battery pulled until it started but this is the fourth time in two weeks ive found myself going back to repartition from odin and then back to ics.. the phone is only mine for a month,.
if nobody has any ideas ill be getting it replaced tomorrow in store. i have the no fee insurance replacement plan, but i would prefer not to have to use another as it's not under warranty and this would be my second replacement and this mes has to last me until the gnex hits uscc in hopefully april if it ever does because i'd rather switch to vzw than take any of usccs other offerings currently.. if they dont get the gnex it'll be time for me to move on...
anyway please advise.. thanks

Thanks for the response. Sounds like a good guide for newbs but in my case information is redundant. I have no problems with the install, unless recovery switches to cm7 recovery during reboot and cannot manage to boot/flash/nandroid until I Odin stock ei20 with repartition and wipe out every bit of data I had. The posts about howto fix CWM bootloop for cm9 do not seem to work for me, as the post says.. Please reread the OP, ya got me excited thinking there was a solution ;-/ thanks anyway, maybe it will help another user.

Thanks for the response. Sounds like a good guide for newbs but in my case information is redundant. I have no problems with the install, unless recovery switches to cm7 recovery during reboot and cannot manage to boot/flash/nandroid until I Odin stock ei20 with repartitions and wipe out every bit of data in had.

have you tried flashing glitch kernel to the phone. imo it sounds like a kernel issue and not so much a phone issue.

The problem started after using ics from alphalulz v1 on around build 3 team hacksung IMMEDIATELY AFTER flashing glitch kernel v14 build 4...I have since kept away from glitch on ics, and the problem remains.
Lately it hasn't been as bad though and it seems by hitting random buttons during boot that it will eventually start but reading tells me glitch v14 build 5 is still recovery bootloop ridden and I haven't seen a word about it in the OP for ANY ics components be it team hacksung roms or glitch kernel, and an issue like this which from reading is seemingly widespread *should* be mentioned.
Any suggestions?
In your op you said e120, what phone are you using. E120 isn't a fascinate build.

Ei20 is the latest and greatest version of gb/radio from uscc for the mesmerize, not that it'll change the outcome afaik to go to anything else... unfortunately ;-/
But it is a full flash package if ya open the tar up complete with movinand, sbl, radio, rfs, etc.. I think it is a 10 or 11 file package and I've used it a hundred times with making the switch from mtd to bml

Read the guide in my signature on how to install ICS ROMs. It has an update.zip that you can use for CWR.
ROM manager no longer supports 2.1 (Eclair), so that is why you can't see it in the market.
Download the clockwork mod recovery file (update.zip) and save it to the internal storage on the phone. Then reboot into recovery and install packages. Might have to do it twice. Then you'll be in CWM recovery. Install from from there.

FWIW, and this is not a knock on Team Passion (they do excellent work but few updates), but Euphoria is somewhat outdated. There are plenty of ICS ROMs out there that are more up-to-date and when ICS went from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 there were significant code changes that were done. I suggest ICZen, or Slim or CM9.
But if you want to stay on Euphoria (AOKP based), this is from my guide:
If you get the RANDOM OFFSET error.
Don't freak out. This is an ICS security feature (as posted in Passion's FAQ post). All you have to do is pull your battery and boot back into recovery and reflash ICS over itself (just like you did with the initial CM7 bootloop) and it should push through. You may need to do this multiple times. I have read of people having to do it up to 5x. YMMV though.

I suggest you Odin immediately. I fear that the next screen you will see is the Encryption Unsuccessful screen. Make sure you hit repartition in Odin though since you reformatted your system from RFS/Ext4 to MTD when you went to CM7.
odin

If you do get past all of these, but this is unlikely for a normal flash, get either Iczen or chimera.
