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.
So I flashed CM9 alpha 13(after wiping) but can't get service to activate on my phone. Same problem I'm having with alpha 9. I use the activate button when it starts and it tells me it failed. Under "About Phone" and "Status" I can see that the My Phone Number setting is wrong so is the MIN.
When I call my carrier to manually activate, the short codes they give me to manually input this info do not work.
Anybody else had this problem?
Go into Sprint Zone, and try to manually activate.

Ok, so I wiped... Flashed CM9. Rebooted. The activation call failed, so I called sprint to manually activate again. They asked me to punch in ##971912# which is supposed to pop up a dialog screen where I can manually input MIN etc but did not. Not sure what to do.
Flash back to a blur rom activate then reflash

Ok, I've got my phone up and running on Rocko's ROM. I'm doing a nand backup now. So, to be clear... I need go to my recovery. Data Reset and wipe dalvik cache. Then I need to flash CM9. I then need to activate(or make sure I'm still activated), and once that is confirmed I need to flash Gapps?

I had this problem as well. I've also bricked my phone flashing an electrify pudding by mistake on my photon. My fix after fixing my boot loader issues was: I reverted to completely stock. Then I called sprint and had to reactivate my phone. After getting everything working and having a secure connection for over a day I then flashed cm7 to make sure that would work. After it did I did a says wipe and wiped everything else. And flashed cm9 then went into recovery wiped and flashed again. Then I flashed gapps and boot up. After booting up I went back and wiped again. And then used the phone for about twenty minutes and wiped and flashed "all" again. It was a long drawn out process. But I have had none of the issues that people are having on the forum. Battery life is great after calibrating. 3G is almost as fast as the 4G I had. Never have a single reboot or battery pull. Wifi and Bluetooth bead on perfect. I'm new to xda but not development. I'd post my success in the forum, but I'm not yet at ten post.

I tried reverting to stock as outlined by qbking77 but every time I sbf'ed the file as instructed I lost my recovery. The 'Unlocked' notice disappeared as it was supposed to but once I did that I couldn't get any recoveries to stick, stock or CWM, until I "re-unlocked" the phone with that sbf. Even then I couldn't get the stock recovery to write properly.
I'm pretty new to all of this. I unlocked my Optimus S and tried a few ROMs on it before I settled on Reborn Rom, but that's about my only experience with these things. I'm not incompetent(I hope) when it comes to this stuff, but it's definitely a learning curve. I'd like to master the whole process though so I can delve into the dev side of things a bit.
Joker - Thanks for the help. I'm up and running with no problems.

A combination of what you and FanBoy suggested. First I wiped and flashed Rocko ROM. Got the phone to activate. Then I wiped. Flashed CM9. Wiped again. Booted up and verified service was active. Wiped again, Flashed CM9 again, wiped again, and flashed gapps v3.
I really don't know what the problem was to start. I originally tried to flash CM7 and couldn't get signal at all. So I flashed MIUI with the same issue. Finally I flashed CM9 and had signal but couldn't activate. So the problem wasn't tied to CM9, but I honestly have no idea what I did to lose signal/activation or to gain either of those back, but my phone does work now and I've successfully flashed both CM9 and Rocko without the loss of signal or service and have nand backups of both since my biggest problem originally stemmed from not having a nand backup of my latest working set up.
I think I hear the ice cream man!

Most custom roms disallow communication from what ever it is that allows you to activate with sprint. I noticed that porting in sprintzone.apk often doesn't work and you can't activate with the dialer because it requires communication with sprintzone. So you need to flash to a rom that allows activation and then work your way back up. Glad to hear you got it working.
Does anyone know what the issue is with the newer versions of the Rocko rom? I've tried out at least 4 other roms without any problems but Rocko 2.1 and 2.2.1 both seem to just sit at the motorola screen on the front. After I left it for 30 minutes or so 2.2.1 started showing the boot animation, but after another 30 minutes it was still just repeating so I think something is broken.
Ive wiped everything and flashed it with no problem I have feeling its the kernel that is not working for some people I would try
1.flash Rocko 2.2.1
2.flash kernel of choice
Shouldn't take more then 5 mins honestly
And im guessing your unlocked?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Wow, thanks for getting to me so soon.
Firstly I am definitely unlocked.
I'll give the flashing and switching kernel thing a try in a bit. I'm having the same problem with redROCKO1.1.1 too which is a bit odd.
I used TWRP 2.0 to install it, it shouldn't matter whether I use that or CWM, right?
Edit: Do you recommend a particular kernel? I've only flashed roms that already had their own kernels in the past.
Edit 2: I keep getting a message "E:Cannot load volume /misc!", could that be the problem?
Edit 3: I flashed Rocko 2.2.1 now for the third time and it started showing the boot animation properly after about 5 minutes. Another 10 minutes later and the boot animation isn't looping properly and the screen turns black for a second before it loops again.

If you can think of anything I'll get to it later but the big thing I'm going to try is to flash cwm recovery back and see if installing with that makes a difference.

What in the startup do you think could be erroring out/going in an endless loop?
Same things happens to me on 2.1.1 version and on 1.1.1 version after booting contating network its show than it show for activating if I press ok than again contating network comes its repeating again and again and this issue I face on joker and magnifier roms plz som1 help on this I, m on 198_7 rooted and unlocked

Hey guys, I am quite new to this flashing roms, kernals, etc.. I am not a novice when it comes to general programming, just to the mobile devices. Well, I installed Jellyverse 3.0, and at the OS startup (where you would normally enter google account information for sync) It had told me the UI had stopped working. I did this twice to test.. The pull down status bar wouldnt work, no animations, and no 3g on the first run. I decided {MAYBE} and I say that with an extreme giggly voice, I had done something wrong. So, I followed the process again and of course, same problem. The third time I installed, when I got the UI stopped working error (before I made the first selection after install even) I decided to just Reboot the device. Thus rebooted and continued on without any error. My question is what did I miss on the install leading to this problem? I notice I don't have anykind of themed screen transition, is this because of the error? Any response and feed back if aprriciated, Thanks!

I'm having a bit of an issue with my phone.
I was running alliance ROM build 30 since it was released. A week or so ago i wanted to try cm12. So I flashed octos.
It flashed fine and it runs fine, but I still can't seem to "get into" asop. Just seem to keep wanting touch whiz again.
So I went to restore my backup of alliance and it fails right away. I'm using philz recovery. I've also tried twrp and no change.
So I went to do a clean install of alliance and it flashed fine, but it won't boot. It hangs at the boot screen.
So I tried to flash another touch whiz ROM and it did the same thing. Just won't boot.
But it does not boot loop, it justs gets to the boot animation and stays there until I take out the battery.
So far I'm able to get any asop ROM to work fine, but only one touchwhiz. And even then the touchwhiz ROM was really slow and force closed apps a lot (maybe the ROM, maybe not, I'm not sure).
So any help is greatly appreciated.
Odin back to stock?
Haven't tried that yet.
I assume I would have to use the MC3 file right?
So I can re root and unlock again.
It appears that there isnt any files that I can download.
Everything I can find is no longer available
Well I found the odin file.
Ran it now my phone is really screwed. It said it ran successfully but when it went to boot, it just flashes the galaxy note 2 screen.
Now every time I try to flash it in Odin it fails right away.

You should have just used a custom kernel. It would boot with AGNI fine. My phone is doing the same thing yours was, IE not booting touchwiz roms. AGNI always works to have it boot correctly. Now, though, you have a different problem which is you probably flashed the wrong ODIN file and might have bricked the phone.
I've used this odin file before with success though.
I couldn't find any files to download at first, but then I remembered that I had them on my computer still from a long time ago.
I figured out if you load MochaDrizzle ROM, then after booted, download the app called FOLDERMOUNT. Run it with root access and it will 'fix' a broken permission. Next load Int-SDCard Writer and hit the Download (extra fix) button and then Fix Me buttons. THen reboot. Now you should be able to re-load stock roms and have them boot.
SHEESH!
