When you execute this process, you will be on UNROOTED stock touchwiz. If you want to stay stock and just root your phone, I can give you a absolute for sure root method. Otherwise, just flash a custom rom because all custom roms are rooted.

To enter download mode with battery in, hold volume down button and then plug the USB cable in (while holding volume down)
[Fascinate Android Development] Charm8er:
I followed the steps listed in the OP to the T as I have done around 50 times before, this time however...

As soon as ODIN says "Pass" Phone restarts.. To a red recovery screen... Says something about "cant mount", "cant find" some file. So I try to restart phone thru recovery menu. doesnt work. So I pull the battery now the phone wont even turn on.

I dont know what to do now. Any suggestions?????? HELP PLEASE.
[Fascinate Android Development] Ki1lACrAcK:
I keep getting stuck at zImage ????? How long is this process supposed to take ?

Thanks,

Elijah

Anyone ??? Please, I am now stuck with a brick :(
[Fascinate Android Development] TNDroid:
Bricked here too. Followed the instructions in the OP EXACTLY. I've got the black samsung screen and it won't even boot. HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP
[Fascinate Android Development] Ki1lACrAcK:
End up flashing a new recovery, then got read errors.

Then tried going into odin without the battery and everything went fine !

Awesome !

Thanks yous very much!
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Is it still stuck right now or have you unplugged it?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
My suggestion would be to re-download the files you are using. You may have downloaded a corrupted file.
[Fascinate Android Development] TNDroid:
Got it! I rebooted with the three finger salute into voodoo recovery used the EXT4 zip from navenedrob , DID NOT REBOOT but went into advanced and selected reboot into download, opened ODIN then selected reboot into download, then followed instructions from the OP and I HAVE SUCCESS! Now to root again and restore a nandroid......probably gonna stay on evil fasciate for awhile.....15hrs up with tons of email, several calls and texts, photos and one video and still had 57% battery left!!! And on stock battery at that!
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
You don't need to root again to restore a nandroid. Just odin the recovery, boot immediately into the recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik and then restore the backup. Profit :)
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Every so often, odin just messes up. In cases like that, just go back into download mode and do it again. Eventually it will work. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] jdf19:
I just used this to unbrick my device and it worked great. So am i completely unrooted? Because I figured it is about time to take my phone to verizon to handle this missed call issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Yes, your phone has been completely removed of any traces of root if you followed this guide. It's safe to take in. But, it does depend on which odin package you used. If you *didn't* use the ED05 official odin package, do the process over again with the ED05 package and you are good to go.
[Fascinate Android Development] jdf19:
Ya I used the ed05 file. Thanks for the reply.
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
Any tips for stuck at "SetupConnection" in Odin?

Tried multiple USB ports, multiple versions of Odin, it's recognized yellow in Odin on the various USB ports after I restart Odin...

if something is really hosed is there a way to ADB push over a ROM?

this is a great guide, I'm in download mode via the jig... almost ready to de-lobotomize it... but, it's stalling in Odin.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Try re-downloading the files you are using and either using a different cable or just make sure the one you are using is connected well on both ends. Try that and let me know how it goes.
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
thanks for the quick reply. no luck yet.

I can confirm all files redownloaded, the same cable I've always used to transfer things to the SD card to flash or charge it or use odin or whatever. device shows in device manager like normal, but odin sees it so that's usually the governing factor. I will track down a different cable.

I will restart the host computer and try again.

**UPDATE** magically worked, but here were my steps:

1) did a reboot of computer

2) used same cable

3) opened odin as admin

4) re-initialized download mode with USB JIG device

5) re-connected to computer

6) odin went yellow (as usual)

7) added pit file/rom file

8) it's uploading now!

9) it crapped out on modem.bin but I'll get er done somehow!

must have just been a fluke in something being a little wacky. hope this helps anyone else with "setupconnection" ... cycle EVERYTHING.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Awesome! Good to see it's allowing you to push files via download mode. If you can't get into the bootloader via download mode, then it's probably time your phone had an accident, lol. I'm assuming since you had to trigger download mode with a jig, you must have odined something for one of our sister galaxy s phones by mistake huh?
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
that is what happened. amidst trying to improve my radio (i was on an older com rom, voodoo'd) I came across a one-click CM7 update. it was probably 2 am. I did not read it was for the AT&T captivate. sure enough, it one click installed a bunch of stuff... and doing this removes the "volume down" to download mode function. you are required to make a jig.

but I can confirm your method will restore a TOTALLY lobotomized phone, given that you have a jig to force download mode. mine registered at 301 ohms. spot on.

thanks so much for the fantastic instruction and quick help. this works in the darkest of hours.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Good to hear it. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] playnwfire13:
Well I managed to f..k it up. I thought I followed the directions pretty accurately. I booted into download mode with the battery still in. Opened Odin with the ED05 file in the PDA section and V2.2 in the PIT section. Checked repartition and hit start. about 5 minutes in my phone turns orange, this was last night. OP said to wait 5-10 minutes so I let it sit all night hoping that it would be ok by the morning. Well, I woke up to the same orange screen this morning.

I tried to reboot but it only goes into blue recovery mode and doesn't allow me to select any options. the message at the bottom of the screen reads,

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

(Invalid argument)

#MANUAL MODE#

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

(Invalid argument)

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

(Invalid argument)

I don't have a clue as to what to do from here because I can't even get my computer to recognize my phone at all. I can't go to download mode and all that happens when I turn on is blue recovery. Can anyone help?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
The screen turned orange? I've never heard of that. You can't get it back into download mode?
[Fascinate Android Development] playnwfire13:
Seriously, bright orange. the only thing it does now is go to the samsung boot screen then blue recovery mode. I tried battery pull > plug in usb > hold volume down and power buttons but nothing happens. any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Yes, your phone needs to have an accident and a subsequent insurance claim. It's hard bricked.........well, there is something you can look up. Google or look on you tube for a "jig", it is a rigged mechanism that can force your phone into download mode. Simple to make.
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
Mine did the same when it went into an infinite bootloop with miui. Only my screen turned purple. Very odd. The phone would boot into recovery if I plugged it in but that was it. Laptop wouldn't recognize it no matter what. I tried everything I could think of. The next day I installed the Samsung drivers on my work PC (XP) and it worked perfectly. I have no idea why my laptop running vista wouldn't recognize the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] streebs87:
My only problem with trying to do this, is I can't power off my phone because I can't get past the unlock screen.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Pull the battery and then put it back in. Then enter download mode.
[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
about to put this to the test.

This is the first time I've ever had to resort going back to completely stock to fix a phone, but flashing a rouge MIUI mod file totally corrupted my system and cache folder which puts my phone into an endless loop.

Once the stock file is done downloading, I'll give it a shot and hopefully get my phone re-rooted and back to CM7 or MIUI
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Make sure to use the atlas 2.2 pit file as well and put a check in the re-partition box
[Fascinate Android Development] mackeydesigns:
How I fixed my phone, restored back to stock, re-rooted, re-rom'd.

I've had my phone rooted since the first available manual one was available running on variety of ROMS from superclean to commrom to CM7 and MIUI. I installed some bad mod update to MIUI which corrupted my system and cache folders and rendered my phone and CWM basically useless, phone would just boot loop.

Following the instructions in the first post, I downloaded the latest ED05 tar md5 and the pit file, restored my phone back to stock with no issue.

After which, I kept the phone in Odin and pushed the latest CWM4 recovery to the phone, this step is crucial and most important as you'll find out...

There is no quick root for ED05 and manually pushing through command prompt only yields frustration (permission denied, etc.)

Find the latest Superuser Root Flashable Zip, reboot your phone into CWM and flash the zip, done. So much better than before.

From here I had already had data wiped, so I flashed CM7 Ver 29 and then MIUI, and I was back to where I was before.

I think it's best if you're into this sort stuff to keep a copy of all these files handy, this process can be done in 15-20 minutes easy, but it takes 3 times as long to download all the files.

Thanks again to everyone for all their help with write ups and files.
[Fascinate Android Development] hansmrtn:
My phone boots into stock recovery and says MANUAL MODE at the bottom. It wont boot, only goes to recovery. Any help?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Redownload the odin files you used and try it again
[Fascinate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Edit. All good now
[Fascinate Android Development] ghostv7142:
what is the pit file for exactly?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
More or less it sets the partition map so the the phone knows what to to repartition to.

Well I am stuck at modem.bin...any ideas what I should do??
[Fascinate Android Development] chef2:
ok i am trying to unbrick. i just followed the instructions to the letter, odin passed. now when it went to reboot at the end it is now stuck at 'samsung'

any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Pull the cord out and it will flash a red "fail" sign. Don't worry, it's ok. Re-enter download mode and just redo the process. Sometimes odin just messes up. It does that for me sometimes as well.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Sounds like maybe you got a bad download or you forgot to check re-partition (I know you said you followed instructions exactly, but that's what it sounds like). Re-download the files and try again.
[Fascinate Android Development] chargerfn909:

[Fascinate Android Development] worshipNtribute:
I don't use ODIN because I'm on a mac, but I have Clockwork on my phone and it's usually how I flash new roms. I had evil fascination 3.6, then I flashed to MIUI, so I think the kernel is still the stock ed05...however i'm getting a TON of problems. lots of FC's. messages won't send. calls won't ring...etc

I'm trying to get my phone back to stock so I can take it into the verizon store and get new one...how would I do this?

Can I follow the normal steps of running odin, run Dl01 package, then run OTA update to ed03..and I'd be good to take it back to the store?

or is there anything else i need to do?

thanks in advance, it's really appreciated!
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
You're going to need heimdall. Google it. When I get off work, I will give more detailed instructions.
[Fascinate Android Development] worshipNtribute:
Thank you for the reply kidserious. I can access a windows computer at the library for a little bit to use odin so heimdall won't be needed. I'll probably start running parrallels on my mac in the future to be able to flash more.

If I can use odin...run Dl01 package, then run OTA update to ed03, and I'm back to stock? or is there another step I would need before taking the phone in?
[Fascinate Android Development] euklid:
what happened to the OP, it's only showing step 1!! I need to do this to go back to STOCK, I just bricked my phone trying to install a mod to MIUI.

No matter what i try i can't get anything to work.

Im on cm7... Odin doesn't recognize the phone, can't install any drivers in heimdall, nothing works at all...

I have the samsung drivers installed. when i plug the phone in when using Odin, the yellow box never ever comes up showing its there.

im confused?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Reinstall the drivers and try another usb port. Also, make sure you are using the cable that came with the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] sdavis28:
Already tried that. Multiple times. Everytime i plug the phone in and put it into download mode, my computer gives me an error message saying the USB device is not recognized.

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling drivers, rebooting, several USB ports.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

If i put my phone in recovery, Odin sees it, the port shows as yellow, but fails at setting up a connection (due to not being in download mode i know)

Still tho, sees the phone there, but not in download mode.

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

No matter what drivers, method, etc, the computer always gives me an error message about the USB device being malfunctioned.

Try a different PC. I can't use ODIN or Heimdall with any of my laptops at home, although at one point in the past they did work, but I slowly started getting errors and eventually got the same errors you do everytime. I've even gone so far as to reinstall W7, but no dice. My work PC (XP) works fine though.

Wow, wtf? I practically check this thread everyday and I don't see how I missed these posts. I'm not really sure what to tell you if you have tried all of the suggestions above already. Let me rack my brain and if I can think of anything, I will let you know. Weird

Hi, I'm stuck at this for like 15 minutes :

What should I do now?

Edit : problem solved. Unplug the USB cable and do try it again with another cable and Pit file.
[Fascinate Android Development] SupraLance:
Is the extra step of Odin'ing the Froyo Bootloaders (i.e. is using one of the Odin files in the OP) really necessary if going from MTD to EH09 PWGB? Why can't we just jump to the EH09 GB bootloaders (i.e. using the Powerwashed EH09 Odin files without first Odin'ing Froyo). Or is there something else that is only in the Froyo Odin files and not in the EH09?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
EH09 is not a full-factory odin file. Also, the 2.2 pit file was specifically designed to set the partition layout/format in accordance with 2.2 froyo, not 2.3 GB.
[Fascinate Android Development] dssheeley1:

Yea, Odin does some weird stuff sometimes. For future reference, just pull the cord out, reboot and start the process the over and that will usually always fix those problems.

I recommend you follow DroidStyles guide instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238070

And to more directly answer your question, every phone out there has little idiosyncrasies to overcome particular issues and the Fascinate is no exception. If you already have CM7 and GB bootloaders, you will probably be ok just flashing forward without Odining back. But following the above guide is best practice and highly recommended.

ok i tried that earlier and it didnt work, ill fill yall in with whats going on right now.

I was able to mount it through cwr, and install the new bamf beta 6 which I was hoping would fix it.

Right now if i do internet pass through, it finds the phone as an android phone, but then says it can't find the drivers for it. It then pops up with this message

Your mobile phone is missing a driver.

The model name of your mobile phone is HTC Desire HD.

Then in device manager it shows a yellow exclamation mark,

and it just fixed itself to the usb mass storage even though none of the drivers took, okay thanks lol.

I read around and saw that you can get into the recovery menu with Droid X Recovery Bootstrap. Just turn off USB Debugging in the Development section of the Applications Settings.

It's in recovery under Advanced. You should see Wipe Dalvik Cache.
