Flashing the csc and cp thru flash fire gave me an error i think it re writes the boot .img
A quick fix is to flash the sampwn bl with odin and while ur at it also do the g1 csc and cp after that just install the updated ota in the OP

Ok so I tried the new tutorial for noobs and I ran into a black screen I managed to fix it on accident
But here are my thought maybe it will help u pin point what went wrong and how we can fix it
Fist thing I did was follow the tutorial with just using flash fire then I tried doing the flash fire then Odin
Same results black screen for the Odin method I had to use my own cp from the g1 fw and the csc still no luck untill i decided to re flash to the sampwn and try again this time I was going to keep the g1 cp and csc
Well I ended flashing the sampwn Fw BL.tar in both the BL,and Ap and G1 CP And CSC and it worked but I did have one more issue I now had G1 Build And GL Baseband so Maybe the crash was from this the debloated image having GL and installing the CP from step 5 had G1 Firmware files and over wrote some of the GL Sytem Maybe Switching the order doing step 5 then 4 then 6 or maybe flash fire messed up the bootloader with the backup files anyways if u followed the tutorial and got a black screen just flash the sampwn BL In The BL Slot and the G1 CP and CSC
Files with the modified version of Odin and u will be good to go...
warning all ur data will be lost !

When you flash with flashfire you get a black screen once you wipe but its actually doing its work. You gotta remember this is a big file and its gonna take a little while to do its job. Plus if you look at the screen in a good light you would see that its actually running some code and installing the new firmware. Don't know if that's what you're actually experiencing but just a thought.

Yes I'm aware of it I was able to actually read the code running I waited quite a while before doing a a hard reset idk maybe someone else can report back if they ware successfull maybe it was just my phone or I missed something I was going to try flashing with the same steps but in the CP jusf check modem firmware and skip the firmware box
