Okay heres my buddy's situation:

Okay, we were trying to root his Verizon Fascinate phone...BUT...we didn't know it was called the damn Fascinate...so instead we tried to install the UnleasttheBeast v.02 on to there...when i rebooted and tried to install of course we got the 'failed to install'...which would have been fine but...now the phone boots up...but the stock adwlauncher and what not keeps fcing..so pretty much, the phone is confused as hell...

Now..heres my question:

What do/can we do to fix this problem??? Please help ASAP!!
 
Yeah i've been reading on Odin, so just download odin, plug the phone in usb mode, get that android setup screen till Odin recognizes the phone, then go to Odin and restore!?

for odin, make sure you have all the files first (pit, kernel, system, recovery). make sure you have the proper (32 or 64 bit) drivers installed...

put the phone in d/l mode (hold volume down and plug in usb)

make sure the phone is recognized by odin

(do all of this with pda, not phone)

restore pit/system...reboot (if that doesnt work)

restore kernel....reboot (if that doesnt work)

restore recovery...reboot

(i personally would do all 3 regardless if the 1st or 2nd worked)

this SHOULD work assuming you didnt overwrite the radio
