So I have had my Fascinate for a couple months now, and before that I had a D1. Never had any problem with it and was always careful about making backups and installing the correct ROMS for my phone. But now I apparently made a big ol' mistake.

When I turn on my phone the SAMSUNG logo pops up and it boots to the samung recovery and I get this message.

E:Cant' mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
#MANUAL MODE#
E:Cant' mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)
E:Cant' mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)

I can use the update.zip to load into CWM and that works but I get this message.

E:Cant' open /cahe/recovery/log

When I try to install a .zip I get this.

Copying files...
E:Failure at line 4:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system: SYSTEM:
Installation aborted.


or


Copying files...
Failure at line 2:

if I try to restore from a backup it gets to the

Restoring cache part and hangs up


I cant seem to load into DOWNLOADING (bootloader?) for Odin or adb.


It was working fine last night and I tryed Kaosinate's alpha Froyo last night and I got that to load and install fine. When I was done testing it out I tryed to restore to the back up I just made. I think that the kernel that goes with is ROM was a Voodoo lagfix one, and when I restored my old ROM it would boot up completely fine but the touchscreen us totally unresponsive.I tryed to do a full data/cache wipe and then restoring again and I still got the same problem. I then try to install a different rom and it got stuck on some screen with alot of text on it when it was booting. I had to do a battery pull and thats when I got to this point.I guess my question is. Did I brick my phone?

I love this problem I have done it many times now you have to get a d101 and flash back to Odin and put your phone in download mode by turning it off hold down on the volume and plug in your USB cable and have Odin open
