ran the leak through odin, couldn't care less about the sd card issue, i have another and i think you can buy them for scraps on ebay. only issue i have is that i can't send or recieve texts. not sure, maybe i read something earlier about this but stayed up til 5 a.m. reading 28 pages of posts to see if i want to chance it and can't recall all of the info i crammed! didn't root on GB. it's almost 12 hours installed here as well and haven't had any problems with sd card. formatted my card after install as a previous poster did. previous version was basically stock with root, never upped to froyo. very nice battery life and seems to be a fast rom, i'm impressed. just wish i could text.
Loaded GB last thursday, and SD card cratered Sunday some time. Tried to format the card on the phone with no luck, and then tried it format it in my old Moto Droid, still no luck. Will try on my PC tonight, SD adapter was at work. Went back to stock EB01 and stole the 16gig card from my Droid.
I was running Comm Rom 2.1 with the ED01 radio, and Odin'd straight from that to GB leak. I left my SD card in cus I didn't care if it got wiped, which it didn't get wiped during the upgrade like I thought it would. I guess I should have pulled it, then formatted it once GB was loaded like I see other people are doing. I was running GB stock, non-rooted.
My phone had the Samsung SD card in it, I guess if I can't get it working again on the PC I'll pick up a replacement from Wal Mart for $23 bucks, instead of going to Verizon and acting like I don't know what happened to it...
I guess I'll run stock for a while, I liked the Comm rom ok, but the volume down waking the phone was driving me crazy. Just OCD I guess...
Hey, been using this for a week or so (it's been awesome, BTW, thanks for the dummies guide to installing it too) but I've upgraded my phone and my mom is getting my fascinate and I'm trying to go back to stock for her.
So my question, do I just flash the EB01 file with odin the same way as I did the EB09 file? And will that wipe my SD card the same way?
The ultra-stock approach seems to be using Odin to flash the DL09 eclair release, with the right PIT file loaded in Odin and the re-partition checkbox enabled, and then to let the phone OTA itself up to froyo.
Are you saying on CR 2.1 you could wake the phone up by hitting the down volume button? Mine doesn't do that... maybe its a kernel and/or lockscreen thing? I am using the latest OTB kernel and the rotary lock screen and its been working great after ditching GB, the battery life is even hanging in pretty good with the EC09 radio.

CR 2.1 rocks!!!![]()
PLEASE let us know if you have been able to reformat your SD card. As of now no one has had any success but I am still waiting for a glimpse of hope.
Did you use an external card reader and use Windows to try to re-partition and re-format the card for Fat32? If the card doesn't show up as a drive letter in Windows, you can always go into the storage manager (in windows XP this is available if you right click on My Computer on the desktop or in the start menu, and then click Manage) and delete and re-create the partition on the card. Cards (like any block storage device) use a partition table to lay out the card, and then use a disk format (such as Fat32) to control where the files actually go. Trying to re-format the card when the partition is corrupted will not work, you need to redo the partition and then the format.
So I'm trying to install this, but Odin isn't recognizing my phone. Anyone know why?

Tried this myself before my card fried. This is why I beleive that the controller on the card fried somehow. XP just couldn't Manage the removable card. It couldn't delete or do anything, though it could recognize it as being inserted, but nothing else. I guess what I could have done is use my linux "partition magic" clone and tried to recover it that way, but when the chip felt like it was overheating, I figured... why? Just to have it fail again to whatever was causing it to overheat?
I get my replacement phone tomorrow and will try again. I just need to line up the correct files, and pit instructions so I can methodically step through everything to test and see if it really is GB causing the card to fry. Since I got the card repalced the other day, it just needs the phone and GB leak to test again. I'll come back after I load up my phone and run it for a little while to see if I get the same results.

I did this today on my Verizon Fascinate and everything is working fine after a few reboots. Can't wait for a more stable version and some themes and kernels to come out.[WARN]PLEASE REMOVE YOUR SD CARD BEFORE FLASHING[/WARN]
1.) If your phone is plugged into your computer, unplug it now.
2.) If your phone is not powered down, power it down now.
3.) Remove battery from phone.
4.) Launch ODIN on PC.
5.) Plug USB cable into phone.
6.) Plug your Fascinate into the PC via USB cable.
7.) Press and hold the volume-down key until you see a gigantic yellow triangle and your phone will be in download mode.(Please see 2nd picture in post #5)You can now release the volume key. At this point you will see a yellow com port in the upper left hand corner of the Odin applicate. .(Please see 3rd picture in post #5)
8.) Click on the PDA button in ODIN
Triple check that you pushed the PDA button. Do NOT click the Phone button prior to continuing to step 13. If you choose Phone, you will have bought your Fascinate a one-way ticket to hell.
9.) Choose the SCH-I500_VZW_EC09_GINGERBREAD_DEBUG_REL.tar.md5
file you downloaded in step 2 above & click the Start button.(this should take approx 3 to 6mins)
10.) Phone will power down when finished.
11.) Remove USB cable.
12.) Reinsert battery.
13.) Power phone and wait to boot approx 4mins
Congrats you are wiped clean and have Leaked Gingerbread.
I have tried this and every other trick I know of.... so far NO ONE has been able to recover their SD card. Verizon does not warranty it and Samsung wants you to send it back with proof of purchase and then it will take 7-10 business days before they send one back. I answered all 1's (very poor) on their survey and now they are sending one to me ASAP.
