[Q]Installing simply honey 5.0 - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone help me install simply honey 5.0?
I tried rooting from a 2.1 stock and then flashing the ROM. That put me in a boot loop.
I then tried flashing the simply_3.8_odin_heim through ODIN and that installed 3.8. However when I tried to flash 5.0 in recovery it put me in a boot loop.
I'm not really clear on how to install 5.0 so any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

flash the GB bootloaders then just flash 5 over whatever (apart from cm7 or miui)
or flash SH3.3 then 5.0 over with rom manager

[Q] Clockword Mod Manager

Ok, so long story short - I went through a lot of steps to restore my fascinate to stock, and then rooted it through recovery. It worked fine until I installed Rom Manager and now my phone won't boot into recovery again. My question is - did I do something wrong?
I restored my phone to stock using Heimdall
Updated it to the latest version
Rooted it using odin and flashing recovery
then installed Rom Manager
Thank you for all your help guys!!!

download odin (onto pc), a non stock kernel and the recovery.zip that you want to use.(both recovery.zip and non stock kernel on your sd card)
Put your phone in dl mode and flash recovery via odin...when odin is done, immediately three finger boot into recovery and flash non stock kernel, and reboot.
Unless your on cm7 rom manager is useless and will bring more hurt then help, and your recovery is being overwritten by the stock kernel every time you boot which is why you need the non stock kernel...I personally would recommend a rom that contains a kernel...you can find a list of all roms, kernels, and recoveries in the dev section stickies.
Do you know how to properly flash roms, and kernels? I ask because I don't want to get you stuck even worse...if you need step by step instructions I'll reply later when I'm at a pc

You can give me a few tips and hints. That would be appreciated. Also, I thought the easiest way was through Rom Manager.
On a side note - what would be the most stable ROM to flash to the fascinate?
EDIT: Ok, so I installed PowerWashed 1.2 ROM and can handle this on my own a little bit. I'm still a little unsure on which roms are most stable/trustworthy, but I might stick with this one for a while.

T-Mobile Vibrant Won't Go Into Clockwork Recovery after flashing odin to stock recov.

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:

Rooted i9100 ics rom fail, please help

Hi I have rooted my UK i9100 with odin and successfully installed resurrection remix previously. When trying to flash an updated version I stupidly forgot to factory wipe and now my phone wont boot, it gets stuck on the rom boot screen and i cant get into cwm.
I can get into download mode and from there have tried flashing another rom via odin (litening rom) to see if that would boot to get me into cwm but that freezes on the boot screen also. I tried to use Galaxys2recovery as shown on zedomax youtube channel but then realised that is done from gingerbread only. I tried reflashing "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LP6-v5.2-CWM5" via odin and then the litening rom again but that still hangs when trying to boot.
Is there something obvious I should be doing? ..I am (unsuprisingly) a noob
Thank you
you could have asked at the first time itself, before various yourown attempts ?
if you are able to get CWM now, try to install the ROM after data factory reset and all the wipes + system format from Mounts & storage.
if it didnt help again go to CWM do all the wipes and format system, and switch off and get into the download mod and flash a GB stock rom from ODIN

that's the thing, i cant get into cwm, or at least i don't know how to. Is there a file I can install from odin that will put me straight into cwm without having a working rom?
why do you wait to boot the phone to get into the CWM,
didnt you try Vol-up+Home+Power while phone is off

Could you please let me know how can i do this, I am trying to find it myself too but if anycase you have tried please let me know, Do i need to do it even when I am trying to do stock recovery ?
I don't see what installing TWRP 2.5 has anything to do with this install. OP is installing stock ROM with odin which means stock recovery.
You should be using Odin to do the install as instructed in the link. I don't understand why the stock recovery is even showing after a restart or why the you would toggle it after a flash.

Let me draw you a picture. Flash TWRP with Odin. Let it root the phone. Use TWRP to flash the rom, stock or custom.
Installing stock anything doesn't mean stock recovery. Odin is used when phone is in download mode.
But the ROM he is flashing is a stock.tar. That can only be flashed with odin. Custom recovery has nothing to do with it and will not help him achieve what he is wanting to do. OP has even mentioned he wants stock recovery. What he is doing in stock recovery after flashing the ROM with Odin has me baffled.
I don't know why "Install TWRP" is the answer to all problems on this forum. Running the updated CWM has suited me just fine and has been able to flash any ROM I wanted to try.

You flashed stock firmware with Odin, was the flash successful ?
If you need to use recovery, flash TWRP or Philz, CWM is not updated anymore
Try flashing one of the firmwares in this thread.
yeah as far as odin was concerned the flash was successful and set the phone to reboot, but it still just hung at the samsung logo, and right ok im a bit out dated using cwm then it's been a while :Lthanks for the links i'll give it another crack now
thanks again

i've tried flashing CM and MIUI using the two recoveries you linked, still no joy. The download links for the firmware doesn't work but i found an equivalent that also has bootloader, csc files etc and still no joy, odin does it's business and says in green pass at the end of it all but it still hangs on the samsung logo, even when i installed miui, it would install all as planned, but then on the reboot it just hangs at the MIUI logo.
i'm lost completely i've never been defeated by a phone :L
