How do you get to omfgb on ed01 I tried flashing cwr it only comes up once then wont come up again. Then im curius, will I lose all my apps and stuffw
It only comes up once because your stock kernel overwrites recovery after a reboot. To get it to stick, you have to flash a different kernel when it boots into cwm that first time. I'd suggest reading a lot more of the stickies, as well. Good luck!
Best bet is to read the related posts but since i am a nice guy!
1)Pop Battery and put into download mode and Odin CWM4 for CM7
cwm4-http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1190668
look for the "attached files" at the bottom of the first post
2)when odin is finished put the battery back in and hold down both volume rockers and the power...Dont let go until you see "Samsung"
3)Wipe files\factory restore, wipe cache, and in advanced wipe Dalvik cahce
4) flash the GB rom from SD card
GB- I assume you know which thread to get the rom at!!!
5)When the flash is done reboot phone from the CWM menu.
6) let it boot fully to the rom
If "Gapps" or Google Apps is not included
7) use the shut down menu to reboot into recovery
8) Wipe files\factory restore, wipe cache, and in advanced wipe Dalvik cahce
9)Flash Gapps for GB

10)When the flash is done reboot phone from the CWM menu
11) Enjoy a GB Fascinate

I just came from owning a vibrant (original galaxy s) and i've read multiple rom development threads but was surprised to see that there weren't any precautions listed when flashing a rom. i remember when we flashed roms on the vibrant, we had to:
- flash back to stock between roms
- wait at least 10 minutes after the roms were flashed for the dalvik cache to be rebuilt
- something else im forgetting at the moment (sorry it's almost 4 in the morning here).
do we not have to do this anymore with the sgs 2? is it ok to flash a gingerbread rom over cm7 and start using the phone right away after flashing? Thanks.
I follow my own procedure when I flash new ROMs, most are unnecessary, but I like keeping my phone clean of old stuff.
*IN CUSTOM ROM*
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash Stock ROM
*STOCK ROM*
5. Install ROM manager from Market
6. Flash CWM Recovery
7. Place .zip of a Custom Rom in internal SD memory
8. Reboot to Recovery
*PROCEDURE*
9. Wipe Data
10. Wipe Cache
11. Wipe Dalvik
12. For CM7.1, flash ROM TWICE, since it uses a new CWM Recovery. For a normal ROM, I install them twice too, just to be sure.
how do i install it? im new to this and i need to know if i just flash the most current or do i have to flash a older version then do the new one?
You have to root your phone, and install a custom recovery.
If you already have that, just follow the instructions in the post:
For all users:
-Download Malice.zip and place on your sdcard.
-Boot into Clockwork Recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset Before You Move On.
-Flash Malice.zip.-While still in recovery: Wipe Cache Partition, and inside the advanced menu: Wipe Dalvik Cache and Fix Permissions
-Just These Three Steps, Do Not Factory Reset Again.
-Reboot Your Phone AND LET IT SIT. (I know you're excited, but its for the best.)
-After about 10 minutes, you should reboot again to clean things up and wipe out any bugs.
-Enjoy!
The above instructions are perfect, I've recently gone back to malice from simply honey. Don't forget to check out the themes for it as well. I'm using ice blue edition, and the assassin theme looks nice too.
Enjoy the nice ROM.

Do you have Clockwork installed form the Market? If so, you may have to Reinstall Packages twice in the 4 option recovery menu. That shoudl get you into CWR after the second one.
Make sure you have downloaded ROM manager from the market and have installed clockwork recovery from there first. Then if you are in the stock recovery, chooses reinstall packages.... You might have to do this twice I below to get into clockwork.... It's been a while since I've been on stock but that should get you in.

Hi Guy,
I got a BIIIGGG problem.
After doing some VERY quick research i decided to get started by rooting and installing VillainROM, which worked lovely...no probs, however because there was a lack of themes (the main reason i rom'd the phone), I was swayed to go for Cynogen.
After downloading CM7.1 and installing through CWM my phone will not boot.
I have tried to do a factory reset through CWM, wipe the cache, and reinstall VillainROM but to no effect and stupidly i didnt backup my data.
Any advice on what i can do or have I bricked my phone?
What does the screen show? Can you get into download mode or recovery? Have you tried flashing the rom twice? This worked for me in the past.
Ricey
yep i can get into recovery and download mode, but when i boot the phone no joy
Ive tried installing the rom several times
Try formatting /data, /cache and /system from CWM recovery before flashing the new ROM.
If that doesn't help flash a stock ROM from Intratech's thread in the dev section via Odin.
1st- Boot into recovery.
2nd- wipe data/factory reset
3rd- wipe cache
4th- go to advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
5th- go to mounts and storage - format/system
6th- go to install ROM from SD card - select the ROM you'd like
7th- reboot system DO NOT TOUCH MAY TAKE A WHILE
8th- let it sit for 10 minutes once its booted so all the cache can build back up
9th- reboot, set up, and enjoy!!
Hope this helps!
Enzopreme you are a legend many thanks indeed
I just flashed THS cm9 build 10 over build 9 on my fascinate, with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4, before I flashed it I wiped cache & dalvik-cache.. and now when I try to boot it goes straight to recovery.
Is there anything I can do? or do I have to do a full wipe & start over?
edit: I wiped data, and re-flashed the zip and it still keeps rebooting into recovery. I guess I'll try restoring to stock, and then re-flashing THS build 10
edit 2: UGH..I wiped my data for nothing. At least I have a who-knows-how-old titanium backup of my apps. After I wiped data and it still would not work, I found "fix ics fascinate recovery boot loop" on google. I entered download mode for some reason by accident, and then I did the 3-finger-recovery. >_< so anyway I heimdall'ed a CWM from a Vanilla GB rom, and it's all fixed now.
Section 9: How to get out of a bootloop situation on cm9 mtd based roms without using odin!!
-Power device off, pull sd card, and push a cm7 based rom(see section 3 for link) to the sd card via your PC, then reinstall the sd card on your device
-three finger into recovery
-wipe data
-flash cm7 and and it will bootloop back into recovery
-flash cm7 again, then let it boot
-boot into recovery via power menu
-wipe data
-flash ics build 2 and let it boot
-boot into recovery again via power menu
-wipe data
-flash ICS rom of choice and gapps, reboot
I was on a JB ROM that was starting to get sluggish for whatever reason. I just learned of Helly Bean ROM. I find the link on rootzwiki and download it and copy it to my phone's SD card. I press/hold power choose reboot and choose recovery. I know not to 3-finger boot to recovery in this stage so I use the ROMs reboot to recovery option. I make a backup of the current ROM. I then wipe dalvik, wipe cache, and finally i wipe data (factory restore) same as I've done a million times before. I choose install Zip from SD card choose the zip, the phone begins to install the ROM cuz I can see the little blue bar start and suddenly BAM! the damn phone reboots and stays stuck on the stupid SAMSUNG logo! WTF? I donwloaded the right ROM for the Fascinate and I didn't see any errors on the screen. The phone just reboots and stays stuck!
**** it! I'm going back to my Incredible.
odin back to stock and start over...if you need instructions click on the link in my sig!
