OK. I'll give you two dollars if you can help .
Problem: Phone hangs on blank screen after starting boot through galaxyS screen. Also, when flashing stock .pit and .tar through Odin, on phone is reads "data wipe failed.", then proceeds to the hanging black screen.
Assesment: Realized I tried this (on a friend's phone) that had Voodoo still on. I figured this was the cause. I CAN boot into recovery/download/recognize in adb and odin. I pushed the disable voodoo zip into the voodoo folder from ADB shell, rebooted, re-flashed stock from odin, same problem. I have full access to the phone through adb, and can reach all recovery/download menus, but after I flash this everytime it comes to the "data wipe failed.".
Solution(s): 1.Try to reboot the bionix191_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO.zip via clockwork, encounters a
" E: Failure at line80:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted. "
2.Try to reflash T959UVJFD stock, flashes completely in Odin, then on phone reads "data wipe failed." and hangs on black screen after boot-up galaxyS screen.
Any help would be great, because I have to let my friend use my phone until I fix his.

There is a Eugene Rom for Froyo that does not brick, did you try that rom?
Else try Nandroid stock rom image and restore the phone.
Solution?
OP,
Have you come up with a solution? I have the exact same issue.
Same "data wipe failed," and no (0.0b) application storage.

After that Odin back to stock and you can flash anything you want.
First:
Flash the ODIN Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558
(Leave re-partition UN-CHECKED)
Note: This will probably finish and show an error on your phone, that is okay!
Second:
Flash the ODIN Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
(This time, check re-partition)
Voila. You are no longer bricked and are back to stock JFD.
Hello - I'm new to clockwork. I am running Eugene's Ginger Clone ROM, rooted, and undid OCLF.
I downloaded ROM manager from the Market and installed. I noticed I now have an update.zip file on the internal SD. I rebooted into recovery - but when I click reinstall packages, I get this error:
Finding Update Package
Opening Update Package
Verifying Update Package
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation Aborted
What am I doing wrong? I am DYING to get Nero v2 flashed!
Any help is much appreciated!!
Thanks,

on ROM MANAGER did you press FLASH CLOCK WORK RECOVERY? its the first option. YOU MUST HAVE THAT.
if it still doesn't work, on TITANIUM BACKUP, press menu, and click CREATE UPDATE.ZIP and it'll re-do it, but u'll need to re-flash clockwork recovery.

I went ti Titanium, created update.zip and reflashed clockwork. Still getting the same error.
Any other ideas - or can I get an update.zip that's known working?
Thanks!

IDK how to fix this besides ODIN back to stock, and then re-flash it.
I SUGGEST you just do odin because it'll erase everything and it might be a small bug in your system doing this.
I even tried older versions of clockwork. I don't think redownloading the ROM would help because I can't even get CW to start.
Strange damn thing.
I guess I'll odin back to stock.
Thanks

yeah it happens sometimes, and you need to ODIN once in a while so your ROMS ghosts don't stay back and haunt your newer roms.
Good Luck on it working.
Odin'ed back and had to reset phone. Bone stock and re-installed Clockwork. Did the reinstall packages and it rebooted this time and looks hung on Installing Multi-CSC. I guess that takes a while? Babysitting...
fF
same here
Yes I'm having the exact same problem. I'm running nero beta 3 and I'm getting the can't verify signature error with clockwork. I've read elsewhere that this has something to do with having 3E recovery vs. 2E recovery, but I'm not entirely sure what that means. It sounds like we need to Odin back to a stock version to fix this problem, but can anyone tell us which one? Can someone provide a stock version that has the CWM with 2E? Or a better solution? It would be much appreciated, and thanks to funky for starting this thread.
I odin'ed back to T959UVJFD.tar
That wasn't enough so I wiped all user data via recovery mode. Re-installed Rom Manager - and now I'm on Nero v2.
I figured out the Installing Multi-CSC issue by reinstalling packages again.
Some things just take time I guess.
Thanks for the help guys!

Hey, hoping some android gurus can help me out here.
I had the latest version of Obsydian on my phone and have not had any issues. Yesterday, my battery on the phone died, and when it started up again I was getting forcecloses all over the place. Tried reinstalling the rom and go errors, tried a different rom and got errors. So I ODINed the Voodoo RFS fix, followed by stock+Voodoo-Froyo-T959-UVJL5.tar , and didn't get anywhere.
I thought there might have been something wrong with the data on the phone so i tried clearing and formatting everything through Clockwork recovery. Then I tried the partition SD Card through clockwork recovery. I assumed it was the EXT-SD it was formatting so i chose 128mb ext, 32 swap, and left the rest for fat32. However, I'm starting to think it might have been the internal SD card.
I tried ODINing back to stock stock using this guide: http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/h...droidSPIN+|+Your+No.1+source+for+Android+news.)
I get the phone in ODIN and it flashes, no errors in ODIN, but when the phone leaves download mode and goes to installation it gives a few errors:
Code:
MBR Checksum Error
Movinand Checksum Confirmation Fail
Then it continues installing, and I get another error:
Code:
Wiping data
Formatting Data
[B]Data Wipe Fail[/B]
Formatting Cache
It still acts like it completely finishes the installation, reboots, I get the Tmobile boot and then Galaxy S, and then I get a black screen with all 4 of the lights/buttons on the bottom of the screen on. It can sit like this for 30 minutes, it doesn't do anything.
I still have access to download mode, and I still have access to recovery, however it's no longer ClockworkMod recovery, it's the stock recovery, and it seems to only work for a few moments before going to a triangle with an exclamation point and the android logo.
Any ideas on what I can do to make this phone functional again, or acceptable for a warranty return?
I appreciate any help.

Anyways here is what I have learned/done, my only working rom currently is the eugene froyo, can use the phone and data BUT cant download anything or install anything. You can adb push apks into the rom though. Heres the link for it
Use Odin, pit=512, pda=eugene..tar Run this to get semi working rom

Once here I have access to my Sd card, this is where I placed the clockwork recovery on as an "update.zip" Link to this is posted below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164
Boot into recovery, note this will take you to stock recovery. REINSTALL update, may have to do this twice but itll get you to the Clockwork recovery....
After this I tried to install two different roms and both times I get some sort of data error, and installation aborted....hopefully this will help a few people
Yeah a bit more google searching for "vibrant mbr checksum" brought me to the same conclusion, that I needed to ODIN the eugene's froyo - it's flashing right now. Will see where that gets me.
It's my belief that using the SD partition in CWM is what caused the MBR issues and the Data Wipe Fail, as others said they messed with a partition in either CWM or something else prior to this happening
And that's a no go. It just reboots back into the stock recovery every time after odining it, with some new errors.
update media. please wait.

I take it back - i did the wrong one apparently.
Had to use the files located on the link you sent, inside of the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.zip file. Apparently there are a few different download files on the first post of that link. This one took longer than all the others I'd tried ODINing, about 5-6 minutes, compared to 2-3 for the others. I had also updated my Odin3 to v1.7, from the v1.3 I was using before.
When it booted up, it gave me an issue with my external SD card, said it was formatted incorrectly, so i formatted it from the phone - it says I have 13gb memory and 1.86 on the ext-SD.
Was able to download and install ROM manager from the market. Attempting to install Nero v3 now.
*** SOLVED ***
I've succesfully installed a rom other than Eugene's froyo, and did not receive any installation errors! Got Nero V3 up and running, very happy.
Note that the MBR checksum error still appeared but did not affect installation at all. Thanks everyone for their help - hopefully this helps the others.
I shall try to explain the situation best I can.
A long time back, I rooted my S2, then I thought I would sell it, so I wanted to put it back to stock and unroot, which I did.
Now months later, I decided to root the phone once again and put another rom on.
To cut a long story short, currently my phone wont accept any roms of any kind.
If I install CM7, MIUI, Sensation Rom, all of them seem to install a kernel as well, which causes the phone to panic upon boot. Which puzzles me, because if they are made for the S2, then why are they causing problems with my phone?
The only kernel that works for me so far is CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4. This allows me to access the internal SD via usb and put on roms. But I can't install them. As every time I do, I just either get a kernel panic or a black screen. I even used this guide, which should be foolproof and all I get is a black screen.
My phone has been in this useless state for 24 hours now and I've googled until I feel asleep at the keyboard.
Im hoping someone can seriously help me with this, as I don't pretend to know what I'm doing.
I was on ICS before this happened.
If you want your phone back then use the method in cnet to get it working again
and about the roms issue, did you factory reset and full wipe your phone before installing a rom?
I reset and wiped everytime. If I follow the cnet instructions to the letter, it just hangs on the Galaxy S2 logo when you turn on the phone and doesn't go any further. The only solution is to put on the kernel I mentioned above to get access to the SD card on my pc.
I now have managed to get CM7 RC working, but that's not the one I wanted. I wanted to use the Sensation rom, but that installs its own kernel which my phone, for some odd reason, doesn't like.
My phone details now are:
CM Mod 7.2 RC1
Kernel 2.6.35.14-g68ea119
[email protected] #1
1.Boot into recovery
2.Full wipe
3.Wipe cache
4.Advanced->Wipe dalvik cache
5.Install sensation rom zip only
6.Reboot
7.Wait for 5 mins
I followed your instructions precisely. I then installed SensatioN_ROM_3.0_ICS_i9100.zip from this thread
It installed, installed a kernel, flashed modem and said done. I then rebooted and waited.
It comes up with the S2 logo with the triangle, fine but now It just shows a battery symbol with a circle in the middle. After a while it goes to black and then comes back. Like its rebooting over and over.
I unplugged the usb cable and instead of the batter I just get the logo with the triangle. That stays there for a while, goes to black and comes back. Over and over.
I can't even get to recovery. Only thing I can do now is go into download mode and start over, put on the kernel I know that works, install CM7 RC1 and then at least I have a phone. But why sensation rom doesn't work is a mystery to me.

Don't install anything else
Repeat the steps without any modem or anything
Any try to redownload the zip
How do I stop the install of the modem? The thread only shows one zip file and if I install that in recovery, it installs everything. I can't chose what parts to install. Do I have the wrong zip?

Just install this zip by the method above
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bzv8B0L32Z8lZ2hSanUtVHpSb0tFUlhkRVQ1RFhEUQ
Nothing else
While it downloads from google, I just want to clarify.
Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Then I go to install zip from sd. Find SensatioN_ROM_3.0_ICS_i9100.zip, then it installs. But the last time I did this, it scrolls up saying it was installing file system, then flashing kernel, then flashing modem.
Am I doing something wrong here?
And that google link is slow as hell, quoting me 7 hours to download it. Got it from hotfile instead, going to try that one.

Yes it should work like that if you have a i9100
Done exactly as you said. I downloaded it from the hotfile link instead and installed it.
Came up with the same thing.
Cleaning Old System files
Installing System
Data Files
Symlinks
Flashing Kernel
Flashing Modem
Ready
Then I reboot and the same looping over and over. Can't access recovery. Only solution is using odin to flash the kernel I used before and be forces to use CM7 since nothing else works.
It's so confusing as Im using the same hardware as everyone else on the sensation rom thread, but it wont work for me. at all.
you sure you have i9100?
GT-I9100
I'm totally puzzled. MIUI doesnt work, Sensation doesnt work and stops me from using recovery. The only thing that works is kernel CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE2-v4.0-CWM4.tar then install CM7 RC1 which upgrades the recovery to version 5 and the phone works. But only on CM7. If I try to install any other rom, it dies a death.

And don't tell me that you flash cf-root after flashing every rom from recovery
No, I only flash that when the rom seems to corrupt it. Like when installing sensation. The only way I can access the SD card to put on another rom is to install that kernel.

ok lets try again........
1: forget everything [ideas you have.]
2: go into clockwork recovery
3: format every partition including system / boot [remove your sdcard before starting]
4: use odin and flash stock 2.3.6 LA2 [u can flash whatever you like] and let it boot.
5: now use cf-root and root your device [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 ]
6: i assume you know your way from here.
note: its very important to format system / boot partions
if yo dont have cwm or you want to try from scratch heres the latest cwm
http://www.mediafire.com/?wkki6xahfhb3bim
Thanks for info. Just to clarify, the cf-root link contains loads of different ones. How do I properly know which one to use or doesn't it matter? And as for the stock 2.3.6 LA2, again, where do I find that? Reason I ask dumb questions is I don't want to assume and try the wrong one and come back here and complain when it was my fault, I just want to be 100% sure, so again sorry for the obvious questions.
I flashed I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME then CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.
It seems to be working fine now with the default rom. However, when I go into recovery to say perform a backup or mount the sd card, It won't have any of it.
When I try to mount the sd card it just says "error mounting sd card" and when I mount usb storage it says "unable to open lunfile (no such file or directory)". So I don't want to try another rom yet.

lol when i said or what you want i meant from GB you flashed a ICS ROM. well do this and this time just do what i say......
use odin again and flash XILA2 . after boot dial *2767*3855# [a must]
after reboot you should be running a problem free ROM.
now from CF-root find LA2 and flash that now play with it a while and than you do whatever as now you know where and how to get back to working ROM.
plus after LA2 you will find everything on your phone works so any problem you get on other roms is not hardware
recovery issues should be fixed now. otherwise use odin and again flash that cwm file i posted earlier. you wont loose root
Download ROM from Here
Hi Everybody!
I recently flashed a ParanoidAndroid rom and was trying it, but it was laggy for me and kept crashing.
Anyway, I wanted to restore to the backup I made after rooting the phone, but at first I couldn't, since CWM kept telling me "No Files Found!".
However I managed to start the restore using Rom Manager ( updated CWM from 5.5.0.4 to 6.something). While restoring, CWM tells me that Data recovery failed, now I navigated to reboot, but it told something about returning to Stock or something like that, then I stupidly pressed NO!
The X sign showed up, but it just crashed and rebooted. Then I figured out I'd Re-flash PA, since it's still there on my phone's storage. So I did a wipe, then wanted to install PA rom, only I couldn't find it :/
And now even CWM won't enter, it keeps giving me that open android figure with the red exclamation above it.
Can abybody PLEASE help me?!
it's worse now :/
I tried using odin but with no success, and I know I have the right usb cable and the right drivers, but in the two roms I tried (ParanoidAndroid and CM10.1) both only have a .IMG file, so I converted them to .tar using GalaxyNexusToolkit, it says it passed after operating for like 5 seconds, but the phone is stuck at Google logo and that's it. And tried GNexToolkit to use the .img files,but it only flashed .img but not the whole thing,
Also I managed to flash the new CWM Recovery using GNexToolkit, but it didn't do anything when I press restore, it just says "Couldn't open directory. No files found.", also I screwed with it up a "bit" erasing system, sdcard, cache and everything. And now when I turn on CWM, it says "E:can't mount /cache/recover/command & /cache/recovery/log & /cache/recovery/last_log"
I understand I need to Re-Partition the phone, but I can't seem to find a way to do so, and that I need .pit files that I are extinct as far as I know :/
Help me Please :crying:
