Does anyone know how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus SGH-T959D)? I had root prior to my upgrade to 2.2 Froyo but now Z4root no longer works. It will go through the motions but does not result in root access after running it.
try this, it worked for me: SuperOneClick

Attach with kies. copy it in the phone root directory
unplug. trun off. take off the battery ,
plug in the battery again
hold the volume down button and power key and
in recovery mode select update and let it update.
phone will be rooted in seconds.

Try turning off your virus scan before unziping superoneclick; on my computer it kept recognizing the rageagainstthecage file as a virus and deleting it.
hmmm still cant with my 959D and froyo
finally works, use super one click, unmount external AND INTERNAL sd cards

yup, worked for me too, thanks a lot
Worked for me too. Phone is SGH-T959D from Telus:
firmware 2.2
baseband T959TLJL3
kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2
build number FROYO.TLJL3
The trick is you have to unmount both the external AND the internal card, otherwise it fails. I couldn't find a way to unmount the internal card using the phone menus, so I had to download a free app from the Market called Widgetsoid2.x. This app unmounts both. Then I ran latest version of SuperOneClick (I used 2.2) and it worked.
Of course I had to install the USB drivers first and I had to put the phone is USB debugging mode
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S SGH T959D and I need to unlock it, but I have no idea how to do that. I have been reading different forums and it says the phone needs to be ROOTED first before it can be unlocked, no idea what that is or how to do that, this is my first Android phone, so I'm a virgin when it comes to this stuff, can anyone help me. Thanks. (preferably in plain English)
i rooted it using superONEclick but its very picky about the rom you have
i was on stock 2.3.3 gingerbread
had to enable usb debugging on and connect usb/phone

Hello all,
I was using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002836
for a few weeks and all was working fine until today. All just worked fine until some moment that all stoped to work. Now i dont have any service anymore and when i try to reboot it and it starts again i get:
-No widgets load
-"Process system is not responding" Force close or wait.
-Cant boot into xRecovery
-Flashtool wont recognize the phone
-phone keeps making notification sounds for no reason
-i get no service
-cant connect to wifi
-wont recognize SD card
-randomly freezes
I found on this forum that this problem causes because i install a new busybox thats what created this error. But i cant get back in to xrecovery again or back to my SD card since my pc doeosnt connect to my phone. So also SEUS doesnt connect, what can i do to reset it all or atleast to get back into xrecovery?
Yours,
anyone have any solutions? i'm in the same exact boat.
Try reinstalling xrecovery from flashtool. You should be able to even with force closes.

Go to Application -> Dev Tools -> Bad Behavior -> Crash the system server then reboot. Give it a few minutes to settle then if that doesn't work, download xrec v0.3 from below. If xrec installs then wipe cache & clear Dalvik cache. If none of those work you have no choice but to reflash.

How exactly are you trying to root? Have you tried the flashtool, z4root or super one click?

I've tried all of them. Flashtool has always worked for me in the past but all I can do on it at the moment is flash the stock firmware it won't let me click the root option.
Z4root would go through everything but then when I donloaded busybox it said I wasn't rooted.
And with super one click it would spend for ever trying to find the device, never find it then the programme would freeze.
Do you have any other ideas?

Z4root & Superclick are my backup procedure in case I'm not infront of a pc and I always use the flashtool to root.
Are you sure usb debugging is enabled? I know I've made that mistake before then realized that it wasn't enabled. Stock 2.1 does not enabled this function by default as far as I know.

BTW what firmware are you using? If you are still on the branded firmware that might be the reason why so flash a generic 2.1 firmware then try rooting again. Here's an example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15711725#post15711725
If you look at the last few posts Uberlight25 was using branded firmware and had the same problem as yours. After flashing generic 2.1, he/she was able to root again.
Good luck.

Hi all 1st post here and it's already a question so I apologize, , I am pretty new this stuff and recently started messing with my firmware and having a play around. Now the issue I have is I cannot connect the phone to pc by usb at all. I have tried all the usual methods of switching data cables, hard reset, enabled/disabled debugging. The only thing that it does is charge the phone.
On a seperate note, I think my current version of android is corrupt as when i hold down the power button, the only option I get is power off, various other things are not quite right either and would prefer stock to this. The device is rooted using universal androot. If anyone could help me return to stock or change my firmware would be greatly appreciated. Please bare in mind that I am unable to use usb, so kies and odin are just not an option. Many thanks
the information i have is.

what rom did you put onto it?
Try this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(release)-motafoca-2-0-9/
Many thanks for the reply, I was a little naive and just downloaded a random linked one Am I able to put the madteams on there just from sdcard?
If you mean install it from sdcard using clockworkmod?
Use this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(re-release)-motafoca-froyo-2-0-9-rom-clockworkmod-edition/
To be honest, I have been playing with something I know too little about and now i'm trying to fix my mess I have installed rom manager, and applied what i believe to be clockwork mod recovery supplied by rom manager, then added the linked file to my sdcard. When it tries to apply it as an update it says aborted as zip file is bad.
If i could use usb or odin to flash my phone things would be so much simpler, but as it stands I can't seem to do anything with just using the sdcard. I don't know if there is a complete idiots guide to this. But thanks to those who have tried to help so far.
my phone too is not working via usb..i mean not detecting when to flash. Its working fine when in usb mode but when put to downloading mode,the pc dont recon the device..if yu find the solution plz rply .if i get it i will surely answer

I don't even get the dialog to connect by kies or mass storage. I plug my phone in and the only thing it does is charge. The computer doesn't even acknowledge there is a device connected, with that in mind i'm certain it is a problem with my phone. Possibly firmware related, or faulty usb phone port I would guess.
Which is why I really hope someone can come along and help with my previous problem of fixing things with sdcard only.

to flash:
1. download kies
2. download odin
3. download your files for the rom
4. put them all into odin
5. turn phone into download mode and connect to pc
6. wait for it to show up on odin
IF, your phone doesnt show up, try uninstalling kies, re-installing it, restarting your computer and try again
I can't use odin, kies, or mass storage. My phone simply won't accept that it is attached by usb, I tried the original samsung data cable, as well as another I purchased new the mount dialog won't open when I attach a usb with the usual option of kies/mass storage so I know it isn't my pc. Everything I have done has been by removing the sdcard and using a card reader to put files on, then back to my phone.
I tried all the linked files so far, tried renaming them to update.zip on my sdcard, when I boot back to recovery and try to update from sdcard it says bad file, or failed. Also tried extracting the files and updating again no good. If there is no other options to force new firmware to install from sdcard I guess it is a new phone time which I wasn't keen on.
Should be a rom.problem..flash other rom..if odin shows yellow light below com port in odin it means you are ready to go..flash another rom and see if it helps..but if yellow light doesnt display theb its data cable prob or usb port prob..

It may not have installed correctly which is how I managed to ruin my phone, but according to rom manager it did install I never got the chance to check tho as my phone is now dead and hoping to get it fixed under warranty.
you probably installed a version for another phone. If you can, boot your phone into download mode and install clockworkmod found here: http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(development)-ltsecret-projectgt/
Then, hopefully your phone should be ok, but just to be sure, install the latest cyanogenmod (using clockworkmod).
Hope this helps

with not so easy instructions. i can build computers and know photoshop/lightroom in and out, so no dummy here. struggling, yes.
After i booted into the CWM and clicked "install zip from SD card" it just freezes on a screen with a tophat and a circular arrow underneath.
nowhere in the instructions say if the phone should be disconnected or not at the time, and it never says anything about the kernal having to be on an SD inside the phone.
Please help. Thanks in advance, and if anyone offers a service I will gladly paypal to get help.
Use the home button to select not the power button. Also the back button is back in this version of cwm.

It's not frozen, click either the home or the back softkeys on bottom of the
screen for it to go into the cwm menu.
the up/down is controlled by vol+ and vol- and the selection is controlled
by the HOME key. The back key takes you back to where you were before.
Good luck!
No need for paypal unless you are very RICH I charge A LOT but you can click on the big THANKS button

Rooting has nothing to do with the version of the rom we are using.
It's good to root if you ever want to download apps and games
from other sources besides the android market.
Also there are a lot of apps which require a rooted phone.
There is no official AT&T 2.3.5 roms for the i777 SGS2 phones yet.
The ones you see around here and on internet are actually test builds and all
of them have issues.
That's why we only see the Perception 2.3.5 custom rom by Designgears here.
The most downloaded custom rom here is the UnNamed 1.0.4 by gtg465x.
In my opinion it is the best custom rom currently available for our phones.
With the Perception custom rom the Touchwiz 4 launcher does not have the
really nice sorting feature in the drawer, and you cannot change the view from
grid to list either. There are other issues with the 2.3.5 roms too like wiFi that
some people have had a lot of issues with.
For best performance I would stick with the 2.3.4 custom roms for the time being.
As far as kies goes, its best to uninstall it and any usb drivers kies may have installed.
After it's uninstalled its best to reboot windows and install the new unified samsung drivers
which can be downloaded here: http://www.tofuchimp.com/WeGotMedia/search.php?q=Samsung mobile usb driver 4.40.7.0 download
Unplug the usb cable before installing this new usb driver.
Once installed, reboot the computer and then plug the usb cable into the phone.
Good Luck!
^SOLID advice!!
Thanks, I was about to get the cyanogen by random choice after not being able to find "the best" rom.
It says to install on SD. Do you think it'll be greatly affected if i installed on phone?

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

I manage to root the phone by flashing the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.recovery.tar and installing the zip file in recovery mode.
I still can't connect to a network and I can't flash new firmware. All the flashing ends with an error that the NAND or amss.bin can't be writen to the phone.
Someoine has an idea what I can try now?

Please don't get me mixed up with cabloomi...
Thanks for your help, Ctomgee...
The problem that I couln't enter download mode or root my phone is solved with your help.
I still have a probem with the radio/basebad, but I'll post that in another thread.
Okay so, basically I wanted to install Slim ICS. I was on a 2.2 ROM, with a froyo kernel.
I switched to the CM9 Glitch Kernel, and that went fine, but I had forgotten to transfer the ROM that I had planned on using too, and could no longer get past recovery (for obvious reasons).
Now, I'm stuck in a recovery loop, Windows 7 64 won't pick up my Samsung Vibrant (Either nothing happens, or it attempts and fails too install drivers), so basically I'm stuck in recovery. I've been trying to get Mass USB to work for over three hours now (Tried several different computers in my house), to no avail. This is my /only/ phone, and I really need to load a ROM.
ANY help would be appreciated.
To sum this up:
Stuck in recovery loop (CM9 Glitch Kernel)
Windows 7 64 isn't recognizing my phone (All drivers installed, it just fails to access the phone)
I've tried all USB settings in Glitch Recovery, and none of them allow my computer to connect to it as mass storage.

its not wise to upgrade from Froyo to ICS, as your boot loader may not be compatible , you should first upgrade to gingerbread, save your EFS folder than flash a CWM kernel to upgrade to ICS
anyway to solve usb problems look in My Android Solutions
to get your phone working use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 or the vibrant thread for help , if its a BELL you can use i9000M Rescue kit from My Android Collections , if its T Mobile look here or use SGH T959 Vibrant Eugene No Brick ROM Froyo 2.2 from My Android Collections
Need a guide, look into My Guides and Manuals
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or
Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

I got the phone to connect VIA USB. I transfered the base zip and the common zip for the rom I was going to use, they both flashed fine, but now I can't get past CWM Touch v.5.5.0.4 recovery.

Not sure how to go about finding the exact model. It's T-Mobile if that's of any help.
