If, after completing the upgrade, you are in a force close loop:
1) Boot into recovery and do a clear cache to fix FC issues. --> Thanks to the member with the cool username:

2) If that doesn't work try a Wipe Data/Factory Reset in recovery mode.
3) Still not working: Try using ODIN to flash a fresh
DL09.tar.md5 and then go through all the steps in the first post again. And make sure you do not have Voodoo installed!
About ClockworkRed:
- The original version of my procedure (written on 2/1) installed/used an outdated ClockworkMod Red during the upgrade to Froyo process. I updated the procedure on the evening of 2/4 to reflect the newer version.
- For a technical explanation of why the original red is bad, please read this and this. My own observation is that the old one also prevented me from being able to do Nandroid Backups.
- If you have the outdated ClockworkMod Red, and would like the new one, this is how to upgrade:
- Use the following steps to boot into ClockWorkMod Red moving forward (start with phone powered off):
- Press & hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time. Do not let go. Now press and hold the power button. You will see the Samsung logo display, disappear, and then reappear. Now let go of all buttons.
- You will now see a blue menu. Use the volume buttons to select & the home button as an enter button in this screen.
- Select apply "sdcard:update.zip"
- You should now boot into ClockworkRed. From here you can do things like flash zips on your SD card, and do full system backups using Nandroid. Use the volume buttons to select & the power button as an enter button in CWR Red screen.
- You will also notice the following errors when booting into the new ClockworkMod Red:
E:Missing bitmap progress_empty (code -1)
E:Missing bitmap progress_fill (code -1)
CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x
It's my understanding they are related to this ClockworkMod not being compatible with Voodoo, and are nothing to be concerned over.
