Allright, so there I was, running a rather stable Comm Rom 2.0 Voodoo Rom with the ED10 Kernel/Radio, and then I saw the thread on the OMFGB GB release, that I, of course, just HAD to have...
So, my first mistake was being impatient and not being able to find any installation notes, and pretending that I knew what I was doing by installing the rom via CWM mod.
Here's the rub, for some reason, whenever I did the 3 finger salute, it would pull a RED CWM that went orange when I applied update.zip ... because if I tried to install rom from sd card with the initial CWM boot, it wouldn't install anything, it would just error out unless I applied update.zip. After selecting apply update from zip, it would boot the orange CWM and allow me to install whatever I wanted...
So after applying the OMFGB rom, it showed the Fascinate/ Cyanogenmod 7 bootscreen, then went to boot loop. I panicked, pulled the battery, then backed up everything to my computer, and formatted the sd card in FAT32 with Windows 7 64 bit...
Shortly thereafter, I was using ODIN and the original "return to stock" files, and ended up getting into the stock OS.
Now I never show 3G or even 1x, and never pull data at all... when I go to place calls, it says that verizon cannot authenticate my phone... when I activate, it reboots and says everything was successful, but was noticeably a faster process than standard activation. Upon reboot, nothing improves... the os is there, everything shows that everything is fine, yet I am still not able to place calls...
Here is where it gets weird... My wife called me today, and the call came through... I received text messages, but still couldn't make calls... My bill is zeroed out, I'm not locked out that I know of, and I just want my phone working again...
Running out of ideas. I have flashed ED01 DL01 and even reapplied the stock .PIT in odin... I am going to try heimdall while I wait for help from here, but any quick help would be GREATLY appreciated...
I believe the issue is you need to convert your system to mtd before flashing omfgb...some one correct me if I'm wrong though as I don't want to spread false info.
but Try installing jt's 0704 cm7 build following his instructions, then install his 0713 build (possible unnecessary step but it worked for me), then flash omfgb. You will most likely have to flash jt's fixed cwm to subsequently flash his cm7 as I had to since I was coming from a stock restore. And now I'm running a blazing fast omfgb...I was able to restore all my apps and data in half the time it took on com rom...good luck let me know how it goes

sounds like your modem may be messed up
this is what i would do:
1) Odin this it is an "Stock" ED01 DB/DO
http://www.multiupload.com/9JSTWA6Y6L
LET IT BOOT FULLY
2) flash the CWM in the OP of CM7
3) Do all Wipes then Flash CM7 0704
let boot fully
USE the Shutdown menu to get to orangeCWM
4) Do all Wipes then flash CM& 0713
let boot fully
USE the Shutdown menu to get to orangeCWM
5)Flash OMFGB
pull battery & 3 finger salute to redCWM
6) Do all Wipes then re-Flash CM7 0704
reboot and bingo you are at OMFGB

Alright the issue is resolved, my main concern was whether or not I could use my phone for phone calls... after finally mustering up the guts to call Verizon, it turned out that the main problem in which I was experiencing was due to some form of typical midnight updates that big red does... apparently, my phone, missed some form of update that ended up de-authorizing my phone, but Verizon was able to help out, even at this late hour.
On the good note, everything went through just fine as far as flashing cm7... I just seem a bit conflicted with which rom is best. I guess its just a matter of personal preference, really. So far I prefer jt's rom just fine, but I might be switching back and forth between jt's and omfgb...
Thanks again for all the help folks, I appreciate it more than you could know.

Not sure that I totally understand as to why I need to flash cm7 0713, then omfgb, then reflash cm7 0704... seems a bit redundant.
If you could clarify this for me and what improvement this offers, I would appreciate it.

Because omfgb apparently doesn't convert to mtd but cyan does, so you have to flash cm first

yup, that was your mistake. prior to flashing omfgb, you need to be on jt's cm7.
I'm too lazy to read all the posts but try flashing cm7 via cwm4. then, Odin back to stock using the right files and configurations. there's a sticky in the development section.
Hey, everyone. I've been having this problem a lot... when I was on CM7, about once a month everything would force close. First an app (xScope, Twicca, anything), then GApps, then my keyboard... the phone starts FCing everything within about an hour of being turned on. In the past, I've just fully wiped the phone... I'm on Pool Party now (the version before the newest one right now), and everything is FCing again. Is there a solution that isn't just "wipe everything?"
Did you make any drastic changes before it started force closing everything or has it been that way since you flashed the new ROM? Or was your ROM working fine in the past and it mystically started happening
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
This just mystically started today. It's been about a month and a half since the last time this happened, on CM7.
My phone got all screwed up one time when I installed either a bad gapps zip or the wrong one and I ended up having to wipe everything and start over to get out of that mess, although it's weird it randomly is happening to you.
I highly recommend the new ics roms

@OP... I installed TSM Pool Party, flashed gapps for CM7, [big mistake???] and then today everything FC. Couldn't load my browser, only ADWlauncher and perhaps a few other apps I tried worked.
I tried flashing the correct gapps, not sure if it fixed it, rebooting now. if not I will have to reflash tsm pool party.
@above poster, where is this new ICS fascinate rom? Is it stable?
GApps is GApps, man. Wondering if it's a sync issue...

boot into cwm and wipe cacnhe and dalvik. I normally do this once a week. Also if you have alot of apps downloaded to the internal memory this can happen. Check rootzwiki out for a thread about fixing the datadata force close issues.

Ah nice. I was hoping to see a stable ICS. So, it says there's no video hardware acceleration.. does that mean future updates will bring hardware acceleration for the fasciante? like h264 mkv's, or h264 mp4's, or even mpeg4 avi's? tsm/jt's rom doesn't have good video hardware support, MX video has to use SW almost all the time.
So I think I would like to check it out, but I wish I knew about it before I went through all the trouble last night to reflash and reinstall all my apps.. [was up till 3am working on it] lol
any major troubles with it? Also what CWM do I use? Perhaps the one on the CM7 fascinate wiki? [cwm4-bml-i500.tar] or the cwm 5.0.2.7 in vanilla gb?
Also do I need to odin it to anything? or can I go from what I've got now [tsm pool party]?
I've had no major troubles with the past 2 builds and definitely build 6 is the best. Not exactly sure what is meant by the hardware acceleration but everything about this ROM runs smooth. As for cwm version, just install any cwm and the ics ROM has its own that it will install. Once it installs it's own, it is recommended to not flash a new kernel once it does it's own because the one it puts on has stuff built in to make all the features work.
As for Odin, hmm....too be safe I would go back to stock and then throw a cwm kernel on. Then do a wipe data + cache and install build 5. Make sure it is running good then just clear cache and install build 6
Do a backup before you start all this just to be safe!!

I'm not sure if you have to or not, probably don't actually I'm not sure why I said that lol...I guess in my situation I had troubles along the way so I started at build 3 and worked my way up.
just go straight to build 6 and in that case wipe data and cache. And I still would go to stock first because I read somewhere that it best to go from the bml based versions to mtd.
I would then update your radio to EH03 if it isn't already

awesome... yes I was planning on Odin'ing again, because I've found it gives the rom you flash after it better chance of survival.
It is a inconvenience though because I have to boot up W7 [Dual boot Linux] every time I wanna Odin.. haha, same thing back when I used my ipod touch for iTunes.
So what radio does the ics build 6 have? can they not use the eh03 radio [I'm assuming is superior to whatever it has]? And I assume heimdall can flash the "modem.bin" radio that I untar from the "CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5" like so:
heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
right?
The ics builds don't have a specific radio, it doesnt mess with the radio you currently have, so whatever radio you have now is what you will have after the rom. I just didn't know what radio you had now, and the reason i recommend the EH03 is because it is the newest stock radio from verizon - meaning it is definitely reliable.
I'm not sure what you mean by untaring the .tar file. Odin uses the .tar file, so do not untar the file, just leave it the way it is. Unless you mean you can specifically take the radio.tar file out from the other tar file. I have the EH03_radio.tar file so if you wanted it i could upload it somewhere and give you the link. Odin back to any stock firmware, then load a cwm recovery as well as the EH03 radio.

sorry... what I meant is, I know how to extract the EH03 modem.bin file out of the ".tar.md5" file for the stock Verizon eh03 firmware.
I know how to flash CWM with heimdall, but I guess I do not need to flash the radio [ right? ] because I just came from a fresh eh03, completely wiped, cache, dalvik, and..... urmm, it is showing the same animation I had back on "Eclipse ROM" for Droid X2... ew... For some reason I do not like that particular animation. I guess you can change the boot animation though?

Use the program "odin" to flash all your .tar.md5 files. You don't extract those files, you leave them in the .tar format. I gave you the link to download specifically the eh03 radio, but if you have it already on your phone you dont need to worry about it. As for the boot animation, the ics rom will install its own boot animation so no worries there.
You know about odin right? It is definitely the easiest way to flash kernels, radios, and stock firmware.
I'm running the ths build 6.1, flashed gltich B5 for 6.1 and it booted up fine. Went to reboot and now the phone is stuck in the recovery, wiped, both caches, rebooted, still stuck. Restored back up, still just reboots to recovery. This has happened twice. Followed all the instructions. Why can't I flash this kernel.
Should I have flashed another older build of the kernel first then upgraded to the B5?
Can someone please maybe give me a different kernel to flash for the AOKP build as well. I've had poor luck with this rom and glitch and wouldn't mind running something else.
Thanks for the help
Same thing happened to me first time I flashed 6.5. I forgot to flash build 2 before 6.5, I blamed it on that. Since starting from scratch, adding Build 2 and Glitch my phone is running pretty darn good. Hope this helps.
See I flashed build 2 rather than build 1, due to better results, and it still did this. (Unless you're referring to Glitch Build 2 and not THS) ICS and Glitch v14 seem to be way more involved or complicated than GB and V13. I think I'm just not doing something incorrect.
I know there is other good kernels out there I'd rather run at the moment. I read that the Sephamore Kernel add some Voodoo Fix options like BLN and Voodoo Sound which is all I really care about.
Id rather have Glitch though
It sounds like you may have possibly 3-fingered into recovery at some point? That will make you bootloop. Also, you don't want to flash semaphore kernel or any other kernel/rom/whatever that is for a different device, that's pretty much asking for a brick. Glitch is the only custom kernel available on this device for ICS.
I think I honestly just did something out of order. I originally reflashed the nandroid because I lost 3G once the glitch was flashed. I'll have to give it another shot.

I think that may have happened in my pocket. Is there any way out of that if I'm at work? I can't odin until I get home.
Sorry, I don't know of any way to get out of the bootloop short of odin (assuming there was a 3-finger). You'll just want to reflash the CWM4 fixed recovery in odin, then boot into that and try clearing cache/dalvik or just reflash your rom.
That was the only solution, thanks.

I am running the latest cm9 nightly. If I boot into recovery by using the power button reboot option, I get cwm 5.5.0.4 (from Entropy's DD kernel when I was on UnNamed). If I boot into recovery from rom manager, I get version 5.8.1.8. So apparently I have two different versions of cwm installed on my i777. Is this normal? I cannot seem to update the older version by flashing a newer version over it.

Apologies then, but if it's flawless, then I'd be curious how it's dual-booting recovery. Maybe the question should go in the CM9 thread? Or just put it somewhere Entropy will notice - I'll bet he knows.

Yeah I'd ask Entropy for sure, he is the kernel master. The only thing I can think of why it is dual booting like that is, it is injecting it's own recovery that is associated with the app. SO when he boots through rom manager it gives him one recovery whereas booting using the button method gives him the cwm associated with the kernel. But as for working flawless, for CM9 you can download the newest nightly's, boot into recovery and flash all through the app.
Yes, I am sure Entropy knows why. I hope he or anyone who knows the topic notices this thread and shed some light on it.

Somehow, and I'm not sure why, RM is able to inject its own recovery.
This would be the first time in my entire history that it didn't inject a broken one.
Hi! I want to have ClockworkMod Touch on my S2 and I have a temporary zip, but I don't like having a temporary recovery.
Is there a way to convert that zip in an IMG or a TAR to flash it with ODIN?
Thank you in advance.

It is not practical for an average user to convert a CWM flashable zip to tar.
Do you mean recovery, or kernel? SGH-I777 does not have a separate partition for the recovery. The recovery is built into the kernel.
Please post a link to the "recovery" you want so I can take a look at it, and I can answer your question better.

The zip file is from the official ClockworkMod site http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-i777.zip

Actually, I don't even need to look at the file. Just knowing you got it from the CWM site is enough. You can not use that on the SGH-I777. If you try, you may permanently damage your phone.
Unless you have fairly strong kernel development skills, there is nothing you can do "modify the kernel." You will have to use a kernel that is available already. Depending on what firmware you have installed, you may be able to find a kernel with Touch recovery built in. But it's not as popular with developers lately as it was a few months ago.

I also found a temporary touch recovery that was AWESOME! Why do the developers not incorporate it? Truly just wondering...

When you refer to "touch recovery" are you referring to twrp?
I assume you're looking for something different than the touch navigation of siyah based kernels?
It was a full touch version of cwm. I forget where I saw it but realized it was temporary because it was just the recovery and I was afraid to reflash it.
Edit: I'm thinking I did get it from the CWM site specifically listed for I777 - but again it is just temporary since its not incorporated into any kernels.

No, TWRP is a completely different development group and initiative than CWM. CWM Touch Recovery is touch screen activated, no need to use any buttons. I don't remember if TWRP has a touch recovery or not. I guess TWRP is touch based all the way.
