I searched and saw a somewhat similar problem but their phone booted, mine does not, but i can get it into cwm but even after trying a nandroid backup and flashing a different ROM it still doesn't boot, it just loops back to the logo..
Is there anything I can do?
Any help appreciated..
Thanks!

Somehow you corrupted param.lfs. It can be downloaded separately and flashed with heimdall in my return-to-stock thread.
I downloaded the file on your post and extracted with 7zip but i have windows 7 but i also have ubuntu on here, your instructions are for using linux and heimdall, will that work on ubuntu?

That's the thread I'm referencing
Thanks Entropy, you're awesome
EDIT: Ok nevermind I didn't realize i could use on windows
Thanks Entropy, I flashed it using ODIN which is linked in your thread, you're a lifesaver!

Ubuntu = Linux
(FYI I do all of my development on an Ubuntu machine)
Yea i know it's linux but wasn't sure if it had to be a specific build of linux since there's many out there, but I got it all fixed, thanks again!
If I didn't need MS office for school I'd never even Run Win 7, Linux is awesome!

If you're looking for help, you'll need to post details about your issue.
I have this issue also, I downloaded the param.lfs file and I was wondering where do I put it in ODIN? Thanks.
Edit: Followed the links until I got to the right tar package to use with ODIN, Thanks to this thread I got headed in the right direction.

i've tried the root method for the sticky in the dev. section. One click user just stalls out at step 5 it seems. Elsewise .... how long is step 5 supposed to take? All i have to show for my efforts so far is the old boottriangle. I came from an Epic Touch 4g (which i had no problems rooting). Any helpful suggestions?
Thanks in advance

When it stalls and freezes unplug USB then go into settings uncheck then check USB debugging then plug USB back in. It will finish up the process.

Use superOneClick again and after it stalls out on step 6
simply unplug usb cable from computer for a couple seconds
then plug in back in and bingo you are good to go!
If that doesn't work just download this file and flash in cwm

.apk files are not going to be recognized by Odin. .tar files are recognized by it. If you don't have root but have flashed codeworkx kernel then close Odin download this to your phone hereand flash in cwm
Apk is an application much like .exe in windows
rev. *.tar i think i need to begin with a proper version of odin (which i can't seem to find.) By the way, i can't boot into recovery. had that been the case, i'd already been nandroiding and running CM7
Odin does not see the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip

ok, i'm a little confused where you are right now with all this, so I'm going to start over.
1) flash this kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823) but skip the step that roots via superoneclick
2) flash this CWM file to acquire root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286220)

Wait, you flashed my pre-rooted system image tar?
Then there is no need to use SuperOneClick or the CWM kernel - you should be rooted already.
Also, if you flash my kernel instead of the CWM one, it will automatically root you on the first boot.
Thank you guys I certainly appreciate the help. I look forward to flashing root / cm7! Afterall, aside from service, the main reason I switched from Epic Touch 4G.

Not sure this is the kind of help you're looking for but I'd tried rooting with heimdal on mac 10.7.2 also, for about 5 hours with no success! Booted up Parallels (Win 7) and flashed with odin first time. Some have reported success using heimdal on 10.7.2 but I tried everything I could find with no luck. All that to say, if you have access to a pc just root on that and start enjoying your phone!
Or check out mobile Odin. Can flash everything you need with just your phone, and not trip the flash counter. Which means you can just download Entropy512's kernel and you'll have cwm. And from there flash any rom you want.

I can't help with using Heimdall on Lion 10.7.2, but...
You should be able to root using SuperOneClick v2.2. This program uses the ZergRush Exploit and is supported on mac with mono v1.2.6 or better.
If you try this, please post back to let us know if it worked for you.
As I understand it, Heimdall seems to have a LOT of problems with Lion.

Just download zergrush root and samsung Kies. Put it on any windows box and you'll be all done with root in probably less than 15 min, from start to finish.
For sure you'll be able to get things working on your Mac at some point. But no sense in also being frustrated you can root your phone. Keep the stress level low

I've never use Mac computers. Did you read CLShortFuse's SuperOneClick thread? He states that the program works on mac after installing mono 1.2.6 or greater. He doesn't say anything specific about Lion. Please go to his thread at SuperOneClick v2.2 and look at the information.
If you decide to try this, and I can't think of any reason why you shouldnt at least try, then your results will be important so we can tell other mac users if this method works or not.
Good luck, I hope it works.

Can't help you there. From reading a little bit in the SuperOneClick thread, it looks like it might be a little more involved than just installing mono and then the program. All I can suggest is search his thread.
Or... maybe it would be easier to find a Windows pc you can borrow and root from there.
i searched the thread for a couple of hours and couldnt find anything useful

It's a Odin one-click file. I'm really not sure how you can mess this up. Just put your phone into download mode, connect it to USB, run the .exe file and click the button.
I'm not sure if you should really be flashing yet. You should read up more on flashing, bootloaders and odin before hand. It'll save you and everyone else lots of time, in case something goes wrong. Just saying.
Plus, the flashing procedures have been posted countless times. Just search and read.
I am on vacation and my fassy decided to stay in recovery upon boot. It gets stuck in boot loop. I'm running AOKP Build 30 w/ Glitch. My fiance has a macbook with her however, everything I've read says that we can't use Mac for rooting or restoring fassy's. Is there anyway to get out of the boot loop with an option in clockwork. From what I understand we can't use the two button hard boot with ICS roms. I could use some help, I'd rather not be without my phone for a week.
Thanks guys

Apparently there's no driver for samsung fascinate with mac connectivity. I downloaded Heimall and the full tar package but didn't work. Does anyone know how to generically attatch my phone to the computer. Someone said something about a generic connection as a drive that works with heimall. I'm pretty pissed and can't seem to get this work. I'll pry end up just going down to a lab and hogging that for thirty minutes or so.
Heimdall has its own driver. It'll be in the driver folder in the suite. Also I'd use an older version of heimdall suite if you can. The newer version tried to streamline things but ended up being a downgrade IMO.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I tried to use Heimdall but couldn't locate the driver. I then located a "exitrecovery.zip" that was supposed to be flashed in cwm. I used my gf's phone to download it then switched sd cards and that didn't work. Still stuck in cwm loop. I can't get to a pc where i can download Odin software to. There's no other flashable file i can find to help me get out of this loop.
look at section 9 of my guide...I always keep a cm7 rom on my sd card just incase this happens!

Well this is what I'd do: Open Odin3, put your player in download mode,(VolUp+Pwr) and download Entropy512's Kernal(the .tar) or if youre on a 4.0 then rumirands kernal and flash that to your player. Then flash a stock rom via CWM. If you have nothing important on your player then you can just wipe user data and you'd be done.

Try this solution from the heimdall's creator:
I have been trying to run this for a while now to downgrade from JM6 on my tab, i keep on getting the attached error, I have installed VC++ runtime, i am on Win7 Ultimate, 32 bit OS
Hmm, that error looks like the kind of error you would receive when the VC++ runtimes aren't installed, or not properly installed, on your system. Do a search in your Windows\system32 directory for the DLL that is giving the error to make sure it's there. This certainly shouldn't be required, but try copying that DLL to the same directory as the Heimdall executables.
