Help Too many freezes & force closes

[bradmatic]

Hello.

I have a rooted Fascinate, obviously.. or I wouldn't be in this thread!

My problem: After a second re-root my SF has been very buggy. My first root was successful. I messed something up trying to install voodoo and had to flash back to stock. Now, after a second buggy root I am faced with many freezes and FC's. (primarily in com.android.settings, but will float to various apps)

Battery pulls don't seem to help. After a certain amount of using my phone, hopping wi-fi, maps, email.. just normal use.. something will need to FC.

Within the next few days I plan on un-lagfixing my phone & un-rooting it. Ultimately I'd like to take it back stock and not root.

This leads to my question: what is THE BEST way to flash stock. I don't want anything left. I can tell there was something left from my first root because ads still do not show up. I had an ad block program installed on my first root.

Any advice, help?

You can try completely removing voodoo here: [How to] Completely Remove Voodoo Lagfix - xda-developers (use the manual method, not the automatic uninstaller)

Afterwards, flash to stock using odin with this: Odin Restore files to get you to stock - xda-developers

And if you're unsure of anything, go on mIRC and chat with someone for live help:
irc.freenode.net channel Samsung-Fascinate

Hope some of this leads you to the right direction!

what bruins said.

yeah definetly going all the way back to stock is the way to go in your case
