I need some help as a complete newbie to this rooting world. Over the weekend, I rooted my Samsung Fascinate running Froyo 2.2.2. I had some problems that were documented in the "first time rooting" thread such as losing mobile data signal. So I unrooted the phone. No problem. Today, I took a stab at flashing the Gee Wiz 1.1. I used ODIN to install geewiz-1.1-08272011.tar.md5. In ODIN, the indicator said it "PASSED".
This is where it seemed to go wrong:
I booted up (Vol Up/Vol Down/Power) until the second logo came up and released all buttons. The screen was black with blue text:
android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML-
From another forum, I think I figured out I needed to reboot, so I selected "apply sdcard:update.zip" and pressed the HOME button. The screen showed a triangle (pivoted at an angle) with an exclamation point and the Android "person" icon. It has been on this screen for over 15 minutes.
What do I do next? Help please.
