In the first post there is a file to remedy your exact problem.

Flash the Red CWM Odin file, and you'll be golden.

The guy who made the EB01SC_DXC.tar.md5 used the old Green CWM for some reason, and it doesn't stay loaded after rebooting. The Odin package in the OP will stick.
[Fascinate Android Development] lane32x:
Tried it again to make sure I wasn't going insane.

Steps taken:

1) downloaded "cwm-recovery-ALL.tar" from the first post

2) shut down phone, pulled battery, keep battery out.

3) put phone into download mode (hold down-volume, plug in USB)

4) opened Odin3v1.3

5) clicked PDA and selected the new cwm-recover-ALL.tar file

Odin flash goes well as far as I can tell. (says PASS!) at the top in green

6) I now press-and-hold vol+ and vol- and power at the same time as I put my battery back in. When the samsung screen comes up, I let go of power

7) Blue text on the screen. "Android System recovery <3e>" is at the top.

8) I select "apply sdcard:update.zip" and hit the HOME soft-key, expecting to be taken to Clockwork mod recovery

9) I starts to show the package installation progress, and after about a quarter of a second, that screen disappears and instead:

10) I am greeted with a white triangle with an orange exclamation point (!) inside, and the little green android guy right below that.

So...ideas? Maybe I have a bad Update.zip? But i've tried 2 different versions. and it looks like the one I've found on most forums is the 1.33 MB version that i've been using.

EDIT one more time:

When I boot into the Android System Recover, I was going to start from scratch, and told it to do a "wipe data/factory reset"

After it wipes everything, I get an error in RED letters saying:

"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

(Invalid argument)

E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount HIDDENSDCARD:

(now in yellow text)

your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions."
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
When you are using the Odin CWM file in the OP, you won't need a zip, it will boot right into Red (on the first time. The stock kernel will sometimes jack it back to stock blue for subsequent boots).

If you find this is not the case, then you probably had some damage done by the faulty CWM that ROM manager has.

You need to follow the instructions in this thread.

Returning to the original reason you did this, Froyo natively supports apps 2 sd. I believe that the whole reason it was in ROM manager was only for Eclair ROMs
[Fascinate Android Development] lane32x:
I've always had to apply update.zip. I just assumed that this was the default way that people did it nowadays.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

*edit* actually, I had been meaning to try his recovery process, but that mysterious PIT file was down earlier. It is back up now, so I'm going to give it a shot.

For anyone else reading this, I found that the following ODIN restore images were helpful and got my Fascinate back up and working (along with CWM):

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-11-a.html

Thanks so much. I wondered why that option was in Rom Manager. Then i saw the option to partition SD in CWM and figured it was a requirement.
[Fascinate Android Development] sengokubattosai:
*sigh*

So apparently I can't do anything with CWM ever again.

I flashed this on my phone, but now when I try to boot into recovery (say after I downloaded a rom with rom manager) it gets stuck on the Samsung logo and what's more is that even if I pull the batt and try to turn it back on it won't get past the Samsung logo.

I have the opportunity to trade my Fascinate for an Incredible next week and annoying quirks like this are making the decision easier and easier...
[Fascinate Android Development] lane32x:
Well guys, just wanted to give a quick word of thanks for putting up with some questions that even *I* thought were pretty dumb. I've followed Adrenalyn's guide to getting my phone back to "normal" and even upgraded clear up to SC 2.8 "end of the world" edition and now my CWM is back to working order, no problems whatsoever. I think there is some sort of conflict with DarkREVENGE. Even if I try using Odin to push the CWM from the OP onto my phone, it positively will not let me enter CWM when I'm using the DR rom (unless I use an older CWM, and I'm still not sure which version I had working temporarily)

So thanks again. and I guess I'll avoid that rom for a little while.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Cross posting for visibility (sorry for any non-applicable information):

Always, always, always make sure you use latest working CWM recovery before flashing the new OS (the days of red vs. green are over. Red works for both). As of 3/7/11, the odin file found in jt's thread is the one you want. (cwm-recovery-ALL.tar)

If you return to a stock package that includes a stock recovery and kernel then your phone will probably overwrite CWM when you reboot. So after you odin the CWM recovery, do not let it boot fully before flashing superclean.

SuperClean 2.8 installs the latest CWM during it's install. It also includes the fixed battery script, and the fixed permissions script. Do not flash CWM again after SuperClean 2.8. Flashing any CWM file after flashing SC2.8 is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Yes, I repeated myself, because this is a very common mistake. At worst, you are flashing an older, broken file which will only cause problems if you try to enable the lagfix, or flash another rom in the future.

Do not use ROM manager until it is fixed for good.

If you are having terrible miscellaneous errors, you either had a bad flash, an improper flash because of an outdated CWM, or you flashed without wiping first. At this point in time, if you want to avoid errors, it's much easier to start from scratch. I know for minor updates, we sometimes get lucky and can keep our info, but if you want to move to 2.8, just consider wiping your device a requirement and save yourself the grief.
[Fascinate Android Development] djmofunk:
I have a rooted (and nothing else so far) phone, how do you initially install the recovery? I tried naming it update.zip but it gets denied as invalid signature. Rom_manager says it installs the recovery but when it reboots it is still the stock.

can this be installed via adb shell or something?

Thanks

I'd really like to see us get out of the dark ages and see some clockwork 3.0 support with edify scripting. This two incompatible versions crap is horrific. To learn we've been using a scripting language which was succeeded in 1.5 is awful, especially for a so called bleeding edge community.

There is enough fragmentation in android without us adding to it within clockwork

In the OP or in my link? Here's a direct one: Clockwork-all
[Fascinate Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Ok, so I just got my Fascinate yesterday, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have a stock, rooted phone.

I've flashed the Clockwork-all using Odin 1.3 successfully, using the .tar file in this thread.

However, when I reboot recovery (either via ADB or the buttons), all I see is the stock blue (2e) recovery. Is CWM still there? Did it get overwritten?

I read somewhere that you need an update.zip file in the root of your SD card and to run that to boot CWM. Is that true? If so...why?
[Fascinate Android Development] syborg:
Heimdall

Just want to make sure before I break my mom's phone. I untar the file and flash from "Recovery" in Heimdall. Correct?

Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] jdellingson7:
If you flashed via odin it should not be pulling up blue recovery, you flashed using pda in odin right? Anyways i would retry flashing in odin again
[Fascinate Android Development] mengineer:
Would you prefer the alternative still being stuck on Eclair? Our devs spend a lot of their time doing this for all of us, for free at that. Who cares what language they're coding in, there's next to nothing for the fascinate that's wrote in edify/supported by cwm orange anyway. To often people forget these guys do this in their free time, and are doing us all a giant favor by doing it. They rarely make any money but they still are around to help out.

I have the same problem. Where do I find the update.zip file so I can get CWM working correctly?
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
Thank you. I'd like to see more folks coding and less complaining. That would actually help the situation. Me and koush have spent plenty of time working on cwm. It can't just be the two of us.
[Fascinate Android Development] cablemike:
DANG!!!! i wish i could!! sometimes i feel so useless when it to this stuff. i can flash the crap out of my phone, and can recover from anything. i can dork around with stuff, and am OK with adb. but i REALLY wish i could make a bigger contribution. im trying to figure out the whole theming thing but that not going very well. if i had the money and no wife i would donate more to you and adry and butch and kaos and jamzele and im sure im forgetting someone. i try and help as folks who are having trouble with thier phones, mostly on android central, that really all i can do at this point. thanks for the hard work jt, you do great work.
[Fascinate Android Development] atraitees:
Try selecting "update from sd card" from the blue menu. That takes me to the orange VW menu..

On another subject, how do I get back to the red CW. I have tried to use the .zip file install from sd and it does not install...
[Fascinate Android Development] cablemike:
you have to flash the red cwm with odin. it will replace completely the blue.
[Fascinate Android Development] ScoobyDoo27:
I don't have an update.zip file to use.

I have flashed the .tar file twice in odin and it still gives me the blue CWM menu. I must be missing something. Got any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] cablemike:
try this one.

http://www.multiupload.com/M17L7LUUV9

delete update.zip from sd card then flash with odin.
[Fascinate Android Development] ScoobyDoo27:
How do I flash a .zip file from odin? Do I still use the PDA section like I did with the .tar file?

yup, use the pda button. thats it.

Can't Download

I can't seem to access the CWM file for the odin package, anyone mind helping me? It just won't pull up on dropbox. Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] jblasrsx:
Does anyone happen to have the Odin package for this, I cannot flash in CWM so I need to Odin it. Much appreciation in advance!

BTW, I know the files are in the OP, but when I click on it, Dropbox says that I don't belong there and doesn't allow me to download either of them.
[Fascinate Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
Unless I'm mistaken, it should be this file:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7ZYAUQAU

It was posted a few pages back.
[Fascinate Android Development] KingPhilip:
So I used the link you gave me, flashed it using Odin, went into ROM manager, but it keeps saying failed to verify whole-file signature. Any idea why that might be? I have looked around and everyone says the same thing, which isn't working. Sorry for the trouble.
[Fascinate Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
Wait, why are you going into ROM Manager? ?_?

I was under the impression that you just Flash the file via Odin and you're good to go.
[Fascinate Android Development] KingPhilip:
Well because that is one of the ways to do it. When I go to the blue recovery screen, I can't do the sd/update. It says it can't find the whole file, which I read on another forum means CWM did not install correctly, thus I'm back to square one. I flashed the file you gave me over, and it's not working.
[Fascinate Android Development] mengineer:
ROM manager only uses/supports cwm 3.x.x, it's orange, this is 2.5.x, it's red, they don't work together. Just about all the ROMs and themes for the fascinate are all wrote for red cwm and won't work with orange anyway. You don't have to uninstall ROM Manager but you might as well just ignore it for now.

Ahh okay, well still using the normal recovery, the volume buttons and power, now it is saying I have no update.zip. When I extract the .tar link that was posted above, it turns into a recovery.bin, a VLC movie. I have tried downloading, redownloading, and trying everything else. This one little step is completely holding me up, been trying for over two hours now. Sorry...
[Fascinate Android Development] McFluffnStuff:
Ok so just to verify you are doing this right?:

1. Putting Phone in Download Mode (Turn Off then Hold Volume Down while plugging into PC. You should see the Yellow Triangle)

2. Launch Odin

3. Press PDA button

4. Select the .tar file you downloaded from the link.

5. Hit Start and wait for your phone to reboot

This should install the recovery onto your phone
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
You don't extract this file. Leave it as is and flash it through the PDA section in ODIN. If you are on superclean 2.9 you can boot up your phone at this point and you should be fine. If you are not on superclean 2.9 you can't boot your phone at this point or you will lose red cwm-all. What you will need to do at this point is put the battery back in the phone, hold volume up, volume down, and power buttons to boot to recovery. Now you can reboot phone and red cwm-all will stick until you flash any superclean rom other than 2.9
[Fascinate Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Just a follow up on this question. Once I flashed Super Clean, i didn't get the blue recovery anymore, only red.

I did use Odin, PDA, but for some reason, I think that if you use the stock ROM, it flashes the blue recovery back.
[Fascinate Android Development] luigi1111:
Yes, I believe that some of the older stock kernels switch back to the blue recovery on the first boot; you have to boot straight into recovery after flashing in Odin to avoid this. (I read this somewhere and it sounds good, right? :) )
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmicham:
I flashed bionix v, which was the first Rom I had ever flashed. So basically what i'm trying to say is I am a NOOB! lol, I want to flash the new update to Bionix 1.2. When dragging the .zip file from my desktop to my internal memory do I replace the current bionix folder or just leave it and add the new one to? Then when I go into clockwork do I just flash the new Bionix.zip? I just want to make sure before I screw anything up.

Any And all help is appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
Once you flashed the original bionix-v you can delete it from the root of your internal sd or you can just place the update to 1.2 right on the internal sd with it. ..doesn't matter really.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dgameros:
You dont have to replace the Bionix V zip. with the Bionix 1.2 zip. you can just have both of them in your internal memory and since you already have the Bionix V installed make sure that the Bionix 1.2 you downloaded is the non-wiping version. Once youve done all that you can just flash the Bionix 1.2 zip. Maker sure you dont wipe when you are asked if you want to wipe
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmicham:
So right now I could delete the orginal bionix .zip file and it would still work? Sorry for the dumb questions! haha I appreciate the help though, where is the thanks button at btw? Like I said very new here.

Also i gather you already had froyo before using his current rom?

I tried using z4root (temorary root) to get setvsel but it doesn't appear to have worked as setvsel didn't let me oc. If i do a permanent root does this mean i can't go back & will i have root working as apposed to using temporary.

My aunt sent my mom a Samsung Vibrant for her birthday, however the speaker crackles. I already have a Vibrant myself, if I were to call T-Mobile and say that the speaker on my phone is busted, and send back the phone that my aunt sent instead of mine, would I encounter any troubles? Does TMo cross reference the serial or IMEI?
[Vibrant General] jmcghee1973:
I'm sure they will. It is one of the questions they ask you when doing a warranty replacement. They also ask for SW version and something else by typing something in the dialer.
[Vibrant General] Monk4Life:
You really shouldn't try to rip off t-mobile, but if you were to put your sim in the phone with the bad speaker than after a week or two that phones imei will be registered to your account . Then you won't have any issues sending it in. But again you really should not be trying to rip off T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Do this

They may charge you of theft unless if your aunt still has reciept and stuff
[Vibrant General] oka1:
It doesn't matter how you got the phone as long as it was not stolen. The factory warranty goes to the product not the person, regardless of TMO or ATT might say, if it crackles, likely not a blown speaker but a poor connection or some bit of steel causing intermittent grounding,

Either way, if it is still under warranty (which it would be) then you can get the replacement.
[Vibrant General] AEguyNYC5:
this sounds about right. I called Samsung today to de-register my Vibrant since I plan to sell it and the rep asks me, "oh so you want to transfer the warranty?" I said no, I just want my info removed from the phone so when person I sell it to tries to register or activate you dont think its stolen. She then said, "whoever gets it can just call and have warranty transferred." I am guessing as long as phone is not reported stolen and sim of person asking for some kind of service or warranty has been active in the phone long enough that things are good.
[Vibrant General] jbeez:
Yea, I got a cracked screen vib to test with off ebay, just to see I registered it on sammy website, since its not a factory defect they will still repair it for me for about $70 shipped, parts labor and tax included in that number. I can easily see them warranty replacing that speaker

So if I call TMobile, explain the situation, they will do a warranty replacement on the phone even though my aunt is the original owner?

Wireless tether works well for 4g, as does wired tether. Both should be available in the market place.

I'm not familiar with either of those. I've only played with 2 roms thus far, fresh and evio (see sig). Tethering on fresh required removing some files from the lib folder, but evio supported 3g/4g without doing anything else.

Make a backup and give it a try. I do know that unless you're paying for the hotspot feature, the sprint hotspot app will not support 4g tethering.

Btw, if replying to a directly post above, what is the point of quoting?
