andybkn,
So am I. Follow the instructions to install 0.2 via ODIN on Firehak's website. It is REALLY easy.

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
I'm sorry, this really is no way to release a rom, but I hope this makes a quick fix. I modified the original ek18 to fa19 zip to only use the modem part of the script. I have no idea why it fails in my script, but I updated to fa19 stock before applying 0.3 for myself I think. So here's a link to an update.zip where ONLY the modem is updated, then run the 0.3 RC zip. The script is in the older format and I can't test, so you have to mount system before running the fa19 modem zip. This can be done easily inside cwm. Here's the link, and I hope this lets everyone install the RC finally..

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
firehak-
I installed the fix and the 0.3 RC as you said, and it installed with no errors, but it forces the phone to boot only into CWM. Restoring to a previous nandroid backup does not fix it. Reflashing CWM with Odin did not fix it either. The phone starts with the first Samsung splash screen, but boots immediately into CWM. Also, when powered off, the phone starts the battery charging mode, but boot into CWM before the battery status comes up.
I'd appreciate any help, as of right now my phone, which I need, is bricked. Albeit soft bricked, and hopefully fixable.

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
That does not sound good at all. I will see what I can do as soon as I get home tonight. It seems like 0.3 is causing more problems than it is worth at the moment, I may just make that update.zip to stop ota update notifications and quit. I wasn't going to get much farther than 0.3 anyway with just tweaks.
EDIT: I know it sucks, but have you tried flashing one of the old and crappy stock images? Maybe you can flash that, then run the ek18 to fa19 updater. Well, if you're a sprint user at least. I don't have any boost updates

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
I had this exact issue when I installed the FA19 modem update a few months back. I had to use odin to install one small file and that fixed it. The modem update effectively rewrites the boot sector of the device which is why you are going into CWM each time, The phone is definitely not bricked. I don't have the ability to use odin right now, however if memory serves, it was the mibib sector that you needed to fix. I've attached mine. Just make sure you back yours up if you have not already. You should unzip and use odin to install the tar file within the zip. Good luck.

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
Thanks dmrlook, that bought it back. I really appreciate it!

Don't give up on making the ROM just yet, working out the kinks is the fun part of programming anyways
I just shouldn't be beta testing on a phone that I use every day. Beta testing these things would probably be smoother if you picked up a used Replenish on ebay for the cheap, so you could double check that everything is working before it gets put out. I'm just happy it happened to me before it happened to more people, angry internet mobs wouldn't be so understanding lol.

Glad it got you back up.
So for everyone else, first run firehak's script to install the modem.bin file. Following his script, you will be stuck in a CWM reboot loop. To get through that, use ODIN to install the mibib file I posted 2 posts prior to this one. That will rewrite your boot sector and you will once again have an operating phone, now with the FA19 modem file.
From there, if you install my custom kernel (can be found on a different post in this forum) you will have an FA19 based kernel. The only thing left to get to a full FA19 image is to update the /system/ directory to FA19 files. This is where firehak's ROM0.3 (perhaps in a revised form) can get us the rest of the way to FA19.

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
Ok I followed directions to install this ROM on a Samsung Replenish, and now its in a boot loop. I can still access it from Odin so I guess I need to try another ROM. Any ideas?

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
@dmrlook: That is, I installed 0.2 and its in a boot loop. Will this mibib.rar file help with that?

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
Tried to install Phoenix 0.2 per instructions and my Samsung Replenish is stuck in a boot loop. (Samsung / Samsung M580 displays and quickly goes black, and reappears over and over.) Still stuck in a boot loop. Been googling around and came across this.
From: PhoeniX ROM for Samsung Replenish | FirehaK
"I’d note for some people that you should atleast install the EK18 Odin image before flashing this or the phone will just constantly reboot."
"For 0.2, I partially cheated and did some bash scripting to take care of the parts I did not understand. 2 or 3 people informed me their install didn’t fail, but needed to wipe data before they could properly boot."
I can get back into CWM and there is an option called "wipe data/factory restore". Should I try that? What about wiping the cache partition? I've already backed up my contacts so I don't care about losing user data. Should I try to install the EK18 image? Where can I find it?
Help please, softbrick here!

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
Update: Installed EK18 image (rooted) and at least I have a working device again.
Dare I attempt another shot at Phoenix 0.2?

^ After installing Phoenix 0.2, you need to wipe the /cache and /data partitions in CWM.

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
This does NOT work for boost. It may brick your phone. The mibib file will not get you out of that type of boot-loop mercuros2. As for whether or not you should try again, it sounds like you know how to fix it if need be, so I'd say go or it, but that is coming from someone who is very comfortable with reflashing phones, so take that with a grain of salt.

Wait in the title it says .3 and .2 so what version is the phoenix rom in rite now? The more stable?
Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
^ 0.3 is a release candidate, and is as of yet, not working. 0.2 works fine, but it's only for Sprint phones.

Re: [ACS][ROM] Phoenix ROM 0.2 & 0.3 RC
Right now I'm running the rooted stock version from Firehak's site and got FoxFi to work (which is what I really wanted all along). Is there a great advantage in running Phoenix vs. Stock?
