i was on comrom 2.1, went into cwm wiped data, cache, factory reset, then restored my stock verizon rom. my reason for doing so, is so that i can sell the phone with it looking as stock as possible without actually getting rid of cwm. so it works fine except for one issue, the custom boot screen (it just says android , except that it is messed up and instead of showing horizontally, it flashes vertically) that was on com rom is somehow stuck flashing over the stock boot screens (samsung galaxy s and the verizon logo), is there an easy fix for this? or should i return everything completely to stock?
Thanks for any help!!
You may have a problem if you were on a voodoo setup and just flashed the stock rom with out removing the lag fix...?
My suggestion is to odin dl09 with the atlas 2.2pit file and repartition checked and reboot when its done,
Then ota update to the one you want.
at this point you can power down and odin the recovery you want but you have to have a non stock kernel ready to go on your sd cause if you don't flash one the first time your in recovery, the stock kernel will overwrite it on boot. In the dev stickies there is a list of roms...you can find a non stock, non voodoo kernel to work with stock rom, flash that on there the first time you boot into recovery to make sure cwm sticks.

So i rooted my phone manually (ran rage.bin, pushed su, busybox, and Superuser) and then used odin to flash the CWM_recovery_DL09.tar. to get to CWM recovery i had to go through blue recovery every time (apply update.zip). Once i got into CWM i flashed a DL30 rom and my phone wouldnt boot. not only wouldnt it boot but blue recovery wouldnt apply the update.zip. i had to odin back to DJ01 stock.
Now i flashed the EB01 root/recovery/superclean and then flashed the red CWM-all.
I have two questions. Did my phone originally brick because i was supposed to flash a DL09 rom instead of DL30 rom? And now that i can get into red recovery directly, am i safe to flash whatever i want?
I assume that since i dont have to go through blue recovery, and i can go directly to red CWM, i should always be able to get into CWM and restore a backup if i hose my system right?
unbelievable
Did the dl30 rom have a kernel? If not you were trying to run froyo with the stock eclair kernel. Can't imagine that works to well. And yes now that cmw is properly flashed, barring a major snafu, you should always new able to enter cmw using the 3 key method.

So, my phone was rooted, I flashed Bionix onto with Overstock Kernel, I tried to install Destroyer of Worlds Kernel but my phone wouldn't boot up. So I flashed Odin to revert to the original TouchWiz ROM. I re-rooted the phone but now it won't let me flash Clockwork Recovery. I used ROM Manager to flash it, I re-installed the packages several times using the stock recovery, I also manually went into stock recovery and that wouldn't work. I tried everything but nothing works. Someone help me! D:
why can't i flash rom's no more.
When i flash a new rom(froyo, toxic) i get :
formating update
formating system
formating data
deleting files
copying files
and then instalation complete en then it reboots and this is whithin a minute. And ofcourse the rom do not work correctly so i have to odin back to stock. I wipe and reset to factory, tryed other roms( zen, biwinning) same thing happens. Olso my nandroid backups will not work, they all hang at bali kernel screen(palmtree). So now i am stuck with stock waiting for a solution. thanks
After you ODIN to JFD... can you explain what steps you are taking?
The more detail, the better.
after i odin back to stock, i root the phone, install rom manager, flash clockworkmod recovery. If i do a nandroid restore i get samsung screen followed by bali screen with a female robot voice saying something about paritioning 2 min and counting then it hangs. I also do a wipe before the restore. If i flash a rom in rom manager or in recovery mode i only get wat i mention above, i do not get a loading bar. Thank you for the reply
Don't restore, your nandroid has voodoo enabled, likely causing issues.
Try this:
Odin to jfd (assuming you have no issues, if you do, try my )
download my option b update.zip (from noob guide) - this allows you to avoid ROM Manager/cwr.
Download a good ROM, I would suggest miui revamped or birgertime's cm7 build (my preference)
Download Bali for cm7/miui
Move all 3 to internal sd
Hold in both volumes + power (can be done with phone on after going to jfd and moving files to phone)
Release at vibrant screen
This is stock 2e recovery, reinstall packages (2x maybe)
Should be in cwr now
Flash ROM
Flash Bali
Reboot phone (don't do anything else)
After it boots, wait 10, reboot
Restore ONLY non-system apps, reboot
Enjoy bad ass phone.
Let me know...
Ok I will try this tomorrow, I will let know, thanks again.
For the roms you mention I do not need bootlaoders right.
Correct. That's about the most dangerous thing you can do also.
I flashed ss-6 miui. So far everything works, calling, sms/mms, even gps and wow this is a really nice rom. I am really happy now, stock is so boring and slow. But leaves me wondering why i could not flash froyo roms. Thanks and greetings from a happy island(aruba) i got a lot of custumizing to do so cheers
Glad you are up and running with my guide. You could repeat those steps with froyo roms, no problem

I rooted my samsung fascinate and falshed a CM7 stable, i loved it except for the fact that my GPS wasn't working. So after some reading and research, i learned that i would have to CWM recovery, flash back to stock, get a gps lock, and then restore back to CM7 and i would have a lock.
Few things went wrong, in my original rooting, i somehow managed to wipe data/cache, thus wiping the stock rom from the phone before i could make a recovery of the rooted stock rom. So when i went back to stock with Odin, i had to completely go back to stock (recovery, stock froyo, stock kernel, etc.) Even at completely stock i still couldn't get GPS lock, even though i could get gps lock before initial root, does anyone know why? I thought it was just Cyanogenmod but i flashed MIUI and still couldn't get lock, yet i was able to get a lock with out root.
after not being able to get a lock, i still needed to get back to my recovery that i made of CM7, problem is i'm not sure which version of CWM recovery i used in order to make the recovery, i'm almost certain that it was the recovery that came with the older rom manager version in the CM7 build i used, but i've tried multiple CWM recoveries and none of which is able to read the recovery files correctly and the recovery can't be fully restored. is there anyway to see exactly which version of CWM was used in order to create the dated backup files on my SD card? Or do i just have to keep trying different versions until one works? I've tried the latest CWM from ROM Manager for the fascinate, but unfortunately the latest version is still unable to read the recovery files
any help is appreciated. cheers.
...You dont have to root to flash a custom rom. That being said there is a guide in the general section that explains how to do things properly.
So I've got this issue I never had before.
It started happening after I screwed something up with the EFS I think.
I was flashing some custom roms after the 4.3 official update and then tried to go back to 4.1 official.
Had the no network problem, but fixed it flashing the vodafone stock 4.3 official again.
Reading all the stuff about EFS confused me, and I deleted the EFS folder and copied an old backup (or so I think, because I'm not sure. I had a EFS backup on my sdcard and extsd I think).
I no longer have the no network issue, but everytime I flash a stock rom through Odin the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo, so I have to root the phone and install TWRP using Odin and then wipe. I know this way fixes this, but what I'm looking for is to fixed the problem completely so I don't have to install a custom recovery or root after using Odin to go back to official samsung rom.
Any ideas?
What should I do?
Maybe the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo because all of this EFS thing, but, like I said, I no longer have the no network issue.
All I want is for the phone to boot normally into the setup after flashing a samsung rom using Odin.
It just gets stuck every single time since I had this problem with the EFS, when before this never happened.
try to install the rom in recovery mode

I had this problem before (flash 4.1.2 in current 4.2.2 by odin), here's my solution.
Maybe you can install your ROM in recovery mode. (CWM based)
Remember to wipe completely before installing

I can flash custom roms through TWRP, but what I'm looking for is to be able to do so again through Odin without ending up stuck at boot always and having to wipe through TWRP to be able to boot properly.
Any ideas?
I'm sure there must be a fix so I don't get stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.
I know the trick wipe factory reset but what I really want is to simply avoid getting stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.

Factory reset is also available in default recovery as well, then what is the issue? Flash then boot to recovery do factory reset.

Thanks.
I'm just trying to find out why my SGS3 now gets stuck at boot when before it never happened.
I'm hoping there's a way to fix it and go back to before, when it never got stuck at boot. There should be a way I guess.
