i have a samsung fascinate on verizon. now i used to have fun with roms and themes and what not on my phone.... since the update of the clockwork mod, it has been impossible. i have tried everything, amend2edify programs, odin, and every superclean rom seems to have the same thing, nothing differs and my phone goes right back to a new superclean rom i used and it is impossible to theme it or do anything different other than use it. this is boring and extremely frustrating. with no customization, what good is the phone?
if it helps.. my firmware is 2.2.1 / eb01 / dl09
im lost. everytime i try to flash anything from cwm i get an error, it takes my phone 4 mins to boot and then nothing. every time!
I know i am rooted successfully, seems once they switched from amend scrpts i lost my talent? and the cwm i have is orange screen (latest one dl from market and flashed) and i STILL boot to blue recovery and have to run update.zip to get to orange, without fail every time. it will not load on its own when i boot to recovery. crazy. maybe i am missing something here? someone please help me!
thank you.

I believe u need to odin a stock rom/kernal/radio package before switching roms. Look up the official verizon ed05 pacakage in the development section. Also read the stickies in there aswell.
Odin ed05.tar w/ pit
Boot up once
Odin cwm that's required by rom
Boot into recovery
Wipe data
Install rom.zip
i am trying this now. thank you in advance!
ok now, forgive me for sounding like an idiot (cuz i am) when you say odin cwm required by rom, am i sideloading cwm basically thru odin? and where would i find a download for cwm? im stock ed05 across the board now. thanks!

thanks again!
Glad that it worked...enjoy!
Hi team, long time reader....first time poster. I have searched for this but seem to be the only one with these specific criteria. Let me just state that this is probably all entirely my fault, and theres a lot of reading. But please help me!
Back story: I rooted my Australian SGS2 with CF Root and went to flash UnNamed ROM however the link I downloaded for an I9100 UnNamed ROM .zip was ACTUALLY for an AT&T [email protected] (SGH-I777?). I found this out the hard way after i had flashed it with ClockworkMod. The phone would boot and appear to run fine however most things didn’t work and the buttons wouldn’t work. I couldn’t get any new ROM .zips on the SD card because as soon as I plugged in USB cable the unit would power down! Frustrating. I also couldn’t download from the internet as browser would FC when a download kicked off.
I tried to then restore a backup I had saved on my PC but in all my hamfisted glory...guess what? I started to restore a backup from my old Desire! “Oh crap” was muttered....or something along those lines. I pulled the battery instantly which might have been a bad idea as it was halfway through restoration....
It wouldn’t boot or go into recovery and appeared to be soft bricked
I then managed to get it to boot into download mode and flash a new insecure SGS2 kernel with Odin and it would then boot into ClockworkMod again – lucky! I still had the SGH-I777 .zip on the SD Card and figured that was much better than half of a Desire ROM! So i installed that again to tide me over. As a disclaimer yes i tried to USB Mass Storage host the phone in download and recovery modes however my PC wouldn’t recognise it – no transfer of a new ROM .zip
It managed to stay plugged into usb long enough when booted on the I777 ROM for me to transfer an MIUI ROM .zip file. I then proceeded to factory reset and wipe caches and install that from ClockworkMod.
It works awesome! Except for one thing....whenever I make a phone call all the person on the other end gets is an ear piercing static. Seriously loud white noise, nothing but. I get some noise coming from their end but not much.
So i believe there is a firmware issue with the mic and phone.apk....bear in mind it did this with the I777 rom as well (I didn’t find out it was an I777 rom until it was too late) so maybe installing the wrong ROM really buggered it? Also i lost ALL of the backups i did on the phone somehow? So i cant restore
I am presently at work and cant use Odin on work computers but when i get home i will be flashing back to stock rom and stock kernel – does anyone think this will fix it? Does anyone have any clues? Id really like to be able to use my telephone....as a telephone again!
Thanks guys, sorry for the big read. Also I am usually not this much of a gump, I have no idea why i made such successive schoolboy errors.
Try downloading a i9100 modem and flash it in recovery. I think some peoe tbat flashed the i9100 roms knto the i777 roms had issues and had to then flash a modem and kernel for the appropriate device to get back to normal.
I am on the i777 and tried out i9100 modems and they didnt work for my i777. So hopefully thst is all it will take fkr you. Look for a cwm flashable modem for your device and a cwm kernel if you find one. Flasb them both in cwm and see if it restores you back to a usable state. Then flash a i9100 modem when you get a chance.
Sent From My KickAss ATT SGS2 SPORTING CM7
Hi all,
I need help with my wife's Note i717.
I was on a custom ICS ROM, and I tried to flash CM10 ROM.
I've been flashing ROMs for a few years now on various phone, so this is no different ... flashing went smooth, but after flash CM10 I discovered the phone would freeze on certain screen ... like when I go to Task Manager, or when I hit certain menu's.
After a bit of searching, seems like a few others have the same problem ... I figure maybe ROM isn't very stable, so I did a NANDOID restore to my ICS ROM, and all is good.
Tried to flash again, this time I also wiped my internal SD, and flashed a new UCLF6 radio when I flashed a newer version of CM10.
This is when all hell breaks loose. I run into even more severe problems of freezing after flashing CM10, and I can't even make phone calls anymore as the phone I call would ring, but the Note would freeze to a point the other side can't hear me.
So again I did a NANDOID restore of my ICS ROM, but this time I'm not so lucky. After restore, my Note is VERY SLOW ... it'd take seconds going from one menu to the other, hitting "OK" buttons and the phone freezes for a few seconds before it goes to the next menu.
So I did a clean wipe, starting with a ODIN flashed the stock AT&T image. But rightaway after flashing the AT&T stock ODIN image, after the phone boots up again I knew I got the same problem. Even on the setup wizard by AT&T the phone reacts VERY SLOW like before, or downright freezes.
I followed up with rooting it, flashing CWM, then TWRP recovery, and tried to flash different ROMs ... all give me the same problem. I also tried NANDROID restore again, but same thing!
Any suggestion on what I can do next? I thought flashing AT&T ODIN is already the cleanest wipe I can do to restore my phone ... any help is appreciated!!!
did you make sure you wiped cache, davilik cache and did a factory reset? if you didnt do all 3 then flash again sounds like a dirty flash is what you have been doing
Yes always wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset 3 times before flashing any rom, not to mention I thought ODIN flashing stock rom would get me back to square 1 regardless of previous flashing?
Try using Kies recovery through your computer.

Kies recovery eh? I can give it a try but how is that different from ODIN?
I had similar issues this past summer...I would try various roms and get crashing and instability, calling issues, etc.
Make absolutely sure that your modem is flashed...I had to do it via Odin. Get a stock one for your carrier. I assumed that when I flashed a new rom that the modem got updated as well but I was wrong. I went from FJs rom to CM10 and got the same issues as you. Went back to FJs rom and the issues persisted. Did a nandroid restore to stock GB and still had the same issues. Then I used the 'muglf4' version for my carrier (Bell), flashed the modem separately and all went well since.
Might not be your issue of course but its something to verify (that the modem and kernel are being flashed).

Can you point me to where I can find the tar file for MGLF4 radio? mine is also a Bell unit and I want to ODIN flash the radio to see if it would fix my problems.
Thanks!
chriskwarren has the answer. Your LF6 radio download was corrupted. This happens frequently, so just redownload it and flash it again either with odin or CWM.
If the phone is at&t use LF6, if Bell use the Bell radio.

It could be, but I can't seem to find the Bell radio for ODIN flashing, even with a lot of searching ... if someone can point me to it it'll be greatly appreciated.
BTW, having done some more tests I think the problems are caused by either a corrupted radio and/or corrupted kernel.
- If I run the phone in airplane mode, without turning on the radio, the phone works fine, for the most part
- What guarantees the phone to freeze and have all kinds of problems is if I try to make a phone call. The phone will either give me "Call cannot be sent" error message, or it will dial, the other number will ring, but can't hear a word at all, and the Note will freeze.
I have tried flashing different radio's I find, but most radios I find are CWM ZIPs, not ODIN TARs. I don't know if CWM can't do a 'complete overwrite' or something, but flashing different radio's don't help. I want to try to flash radio via ODIN, but can only find 1 appropriate ODIN file, and that tar file might be corrupted in itself because it fails trying to flash it through ODIN.
I suspect it may also be a corrupted kernel, because in trying to make CM10 work I flashed both a different radio and a different kernel, which causes all the problems I have.
I have a Bell Note i717M ... what is the safest radio and kernel I can use with ICS ROM? If someone can point me or send me the ODIN tar's it will be greatly appreciated. I searched and searched but can't find much for ODIN on xda!
Check the "note super everything thread "....
At the top of the general section ...
About half way down the page you will see the modem section .....and bell is there ....g
Try a stock kernel. If else fails, try a bell modem.

Thanks for all the advices guys.
I have tried different radio's, all of them CWM zips. None of them seems to work ... the supposedly "stock" kernel makes it worse actually.
I wonder if ODIN would flash 'cleaner' ... but so far, can't find any ODIN modem.
As stated earlier, your modem you flashed was corrupted and you need the Bell modem.
If it is in CWM zip format, unzip the file on your pc, and use the mdm.bin or modem.bin file in the unzipped folder. That goes in the Phone slot of Odin3.

Ahhhh I see ... thanks a lot. I'll try that tonight.
Thanks a lot that did the trick!! As soon as I flashed modem.bin everything works.
How about amss.bin? Do I need to flash it too?
Noooo.
Similar issue - Note very sluggish
Hey guys, I'm having a similar issue as the OP. I've tried updating my Note to ICS without success and was working fine on stock ATT GB. I tried again today to update to ICS and failed, reverted to stock ATT GB from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330, and now my Note is sluggish as heck!
Right at the ATT setup flow, the touchscreen seems very unresponsive and screen taps take a few seconds to register. The soft keys are pretty much unusable - if I hit back or home, the whole thing freezes and randomly resets.
I made sure I wiped cache, wiped Dalvik cache and factory reset and then flashed the stock ROM again, but same thing. I found the stock ATT modem and flashed that as well by putting mdm.bin in the Phone field in Odin, but no luck...
Any idea what else could be wrong here?
Appreciate any help guys! I'm close to having a large ungainly paperweight here...
So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:
Ok, so I've rooted and put custom roms on numerous phones. I've been trying to put a custom recovery, twrp or cwm, whatever, on my wife's phone, but have got a wall. I know for sure, 100% that I am rooted. I tired to install twrp and cwm via their respective apps, ends up in either bootloop trying to boot into recovery (and FYI, the screen shows that a custom recovery is installed, just doesn't load into recovery and restarts). And tried both via Odin, but got the same result. Have never ran into this problem before with any of my phone's, all of the galaxy's and Galaxy Note's since the S2. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks homies!
Just to add, yes I made sure double checked, triple checked that I was installing the correct recovery for the phone model. Also, she has done all the ota updates that sprint has pushed as of last week (2/9/15).

OK, from your post it looks like you have done this before. To be sure lets go through the motions one more time.
Your device is updated to 4.4.4 NK4 the latest KitKat version. It's rooted you have supersu icon and run a root checker. First download again ( in case you got a bad download ) a copy of Philz CWM version 6.48.4 here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ use "phil'z_touch_6.48.6-hlte.tar.md5" . I like to use odin version v1.85 it's little older but very stable, here is a link https://mega.co.nz/#!oA5xzTAL!LXoVWB...ZlOMSWdRGVX6Uo now flash the .tar file with odin. Make sure you let device boot up on it's own back to the OS, do not pull the cable and boot the device yourself. Then try and boot into recovery.
If it bootloops again, I would backup all your data to the PC desktop, and then do a factory reset get back to bone stock ( that means when your in download mode it says Samsung Official status not custom ) so many times I have seen folks with an unrooted device where the bootloader still says custom and you end up with a dirty flash or worse. It may take a couple factory resets to get back to stock, it doesn't always take the first time. When I flash a custom rom and then decide to go back to stock, I flash the rom two or three times to make sure I'm bone stock.
If the factory reset doesn't work you may have to flash a new stock NK4 OS. Then root again and install the recovery. Here is my thread with all the info you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 , Enjoy !!!
Thanks for taking the time to give me a detailed response. Sounds like I'm gonna have to wait till Wednesday or Thursday when im off work and have some time to do this, but yeah, I was thinking maybe just a factory reset, but I'll use your links and try it one more time first. I'll let ya know. Thanks again
Do you have another link to the older Odin (1.85).the link says the file isn't there... Thanks again
Never got to test it out, but she didn't really want a custom rom anyway, just the WiFi hotspot, and I finally found a method that works, big shout out to idone for his awesome app. If anyone else is looking for WiFi hotspot without root that sees this, check out his tread in the apps and themes, for this phone. Worked like a charm. Thanks again jimzweb1. Much appreciate the reply!
