I really want to thank the XDA team, especially Adrynly!!
Just about a weak ago i got fed up with stock 2.1 update 1 so i rooted my phone and went looking on line for a good custom Rom. The one i found that looked the most promising was Darky's 9.2 installed from odin. After not bothering to really read what i was looking at i downloaded what was required and slapped it in, HELLO GIANT BRICK!!!, It was for the i9000. I started looking for help in the pda threads, trying everything i could find, making sure it applied to the vwz i500 fascinate. After 7 days, 3gb of downloads, every waking hour not at work trying to recover my phone. I was sure it would never work again. This morning after using hemaifill with stock pit and eb01 files, then odin and eb01.tar. I am now rooted running super clean 2.4, clockwork installed and titanium backup was one of the first things done. I know this is long winded but i want to share my experience with everyone, and maybe this will help someone else who does something so galacticalaly stupid as flaming Rom that don't belong to their phones just because they got exited and didn't bother putting in the research time.

THANK YOU ALL AT XDA for saving my phone and possibly my life, if i had to spend any more time trying to recover my phone that i have had less than a month i really believe my wife may have committed homicide, yes she was that frustrated and upset with me.

Now everyone bow down and show respect to the smart phone god, ADRYNLYN!!! thank YOU ALL again, so glad to have my fascinate back and running exceptionally.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

So up to SC 2.9.1 and trying out Dark Revenger now as well. My new obsession is trying to find that perfect rom, Gingerbread where are you??? Hopefully the Kaosinate one gets enough bugs out to make it usable. If any Dev's ever need a tester, i now have a ton of expierence with Heimdall, odin, and cwm. i an willing to test for anyone since i dont have the required skills yet to do much else, but i am working on that.


Brick:mad:, Odin:), Brick:mad:, Odin-No:confused:, Heimdall:), Odin:D, working:D:D - cwr, some new rom:p- start Brick recovery process over:eek::eek::eek:.....I don't learn not to play with things and i don't want to!!!!!!
