This is only for Telus Fascinate not Verizon Fascniate!!
I'm not good at speaking English just you know (or can somebody rewrite this for me??)
As you know, Telus Fascinate is pretty simillar to Galaxy I9000
The differences between those two are FF Camera, buttons, and some others
Okay Ill shut up and let you know how to flash MIUI/CM7 rom
Flash it at your own risk!!! I'm not responsible for anythings that you just did!! This is only for people who know how to fix your 700$ toy. Read Carefully.!! There might be alot of bugs when you are using this methoud.
Things that you need
1. speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar
2. Newest Version of MIUI Rom or Newest Version of CM7 Rom
3. cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar
4. galaxy-efsbackup.zip
5. [CM7/MIUI]Telus Fascinate Platypus Kernel
Here is How! (How to flash it, when you are using stock Froyo Rom)
1. Get those files download
2. Copy all these files into your Phone (except speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar & cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar files)
3. Get into download mode and than flash speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz.tar with using odin (do not check mark on the repartition!)
4. Get into recovery mode and than install galaxys-efsbackup.zip
5. Turn off your device and than get into download mode again
6. Install cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar with using odin again (do not check mark on the repartition and auto reboot!!!)
7. Unplug your USB and than get into recovery mode again
8. Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, and cache
9. Flash MIUI Rom or CM7 Rom
10. Reboot your device and you will see MIUI rom booting and make sure you are in service and 3g working fine. If you dont get any of that you might have to go back to stock Froyo rom and do this steps again.
11. If you have service and 3g data working, go to recovery mode again!!
14. After done flashing it install [CM7/MIUI]Telus Fascinate Platypus Kernel kernel from recovery
15. Reboot your device and you will be running MIUI Rom or CM7 Rom
Starting from Telus Fascinate Platypus Kernle Quorra-r8, there is no need of changing home key and back key
16. There is a problem between home key and back key. They are reversed. so Donload Root Explorer app
17. Run Root Explorer and than go look for /system/usr/keylayout/cypress-touchkey.kl longpress of cypress-touchkey.kl file and you will see Open in Text Editor Press it
18. you will see in your text
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL
19. Change this in to
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 HOME VIRTUAL
key 102 BACK VIRTUAL
key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL
20. and save it and reboot your device!!!!!
Please read this guide carefully and flash it at your own risk!!!!!
Sorry for my Bad English !!!!!

I recommend to use GALAXYS and you dont need to worry about flashing back the Telus modem cause it is fine to use jvk modem.
If you want it, i can make one for you.

No, I'm refering to the built in geo-magnetic sensor. Essentially the built in compass.
Edit: But the accelerometer doesn't work either, I don't particularly care about that.
Also, occasionally after being plugged in, the software seems to ignore the fact that it's charging until reboot. That one sucks because it stops charging while I'm sleeping.
Camera app occasionally won't display a preview until the phone is locked/unlocked with the app open. Widgets disappear puriodically, and sometimes it won't let me fruit ninja
Hey harimgs,
is it normal to constantly bootloop on miui? My phone will bootloop 3 or 4 times then finally boot on the 5th.

The first few times it takes a while, I think the boot animation is too long/too short. I changed it to a different one (Through the theme manager) and it boots a lot quicker now.
Do I have to flash the CM7_TELUS-FASCINATE_platypus-kernel_20110418_16_core.zip and then the WiFi fix? Or can I just flash the Wifi fix?

So, say I wanted to overclock the phone, afaik there is no kernel allowing to do that, right? Supercurio's didn't allow it when I used it on my 959D to load Darky's and SimplyHoney and I just flashed CM7 using the instructions in this thread (so I'm now running Platypus kernel).
Also, is there a lagfix included with CM7?
Hey! I was using 2.3.3 miui rom with Platypus everything worked fine, I upgraded myself to the new miui rom which uses 2.3.4 and problem is when I flash the kernel if wont go past the cm7 boot logo. I have flashed it several times and reinstalled the rom still same issue.
sry for creating a new thread...

Its a CM7 feature. Don't you like it? Anyways you can always turn it off from the cynogenmod settings.void forever does not hav the settings by default so you must flash the settings first via the proper zip which you can find in the void forever post

If you have a backup then you can restore it to get back to stock(obv). And it is recommended you unroot before taking it to warranty services. Some may allow it, others may not.

So guys, I've been using CM7 2.3.3 from mik_os for a while now, and I'm using dresildee's recovery from a while back,
Question is, are there any good 2.3 ROMs that I should try, and I've heard of a lot of people using CWM recovery now, is there any reason for me to change to CWM's recovery?

1. Mik's Cm7 is probably the best right now, but when Andy fixes some bugs in Phoenix that might change.
2. You don't have to change recoveries just when they say to use CWM just toggle signature verify.

But in terms of recovery, if you want to save your physical buttons or you buttons started to tear, then the best solution is to use TWRP recovery which has touchscreen support, and many other plusses, like a working signature verification, theming support, sd repair like amonra, more friendly ui, compress backup to save space, faster backuping, etc.. etc...

I got into CWM pressing on / off 3 or 4 times when sony ericsson appears on screen and increases the brightness!
But I would warn you that the keys are confused, when I press the home key the selection bar up as if by pressing volume up! But volume buttons are correct!
The hard keys are not confused.They should work like this.The soft keys should work under recovery also.BACK for getting into the previous menu and MENU works like volume down.
Can i install this on my ST15a? And under this kernel can i use the feature Apps2sd? Thanks.
You can install it on your ST15a and you will not experience any functionality problem.
BUT you will almost certainly encounter problems if you try to update via SEUS.
(Even if the installation is complete)
About Apps2sd now.What exactly do you want to achieve?
I can assure you that every function of cwm works perfectly!

Something like cyanogen mode. That the rom install the apps in a previously created ext partition. I have no problems whit the Seus issue, as long a can use it at least, to restore the smartphone to "normal" if something's gone terribly wrong.
Enviado desde mi E10i usando Tapatalk
What i meant by the word "problems" is that SEUS will almost for sure recognize your phone as an ST15i.So SEUS will repair your phone as an ST15i and not as an ST15a.
You can format your sd using cwm and create whatever partition you want.

Ok. It is possible to "fix" that by changing the letter "i" by the letter "a" in the buid.prop file in system? And how do i create the ext partition in recovery mode? Once created; ¿how the SE firware save the apps in there? It doe's automatically? Or I've to use an app like apps2sd to do so. Another question as this firmware is Rooted, ¿Busibox iso installed? Thanks a lot an excuse me if i'm a bit annoying ...
Enviado desde mi E10i usando Tapatalk
It would be better to copy your old bulid.prop file and compare it line by line with the new one.Change everything that has to do with the model type of your device.
You can create the ext partition using the partition sd card option which lies under the advanced menu of cwm.
You can use the app s2e from the market for transfering your apps to ext partition.The kernel has busybox installed and is rooted also.

What about your experience using this ROM? what improvements have you encounter personally? Any drawbacks? Thanks...
Actually it is not a full rom.Just a kernel.Everything works exactly like stock.So you have all the advantages (stability) of stock kernel and all the drawbacks (lack of customization) of stock kernel.
The basic improvement is that you have root access and a fully functional cwm.

Hi guys,
I used this method to root my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Everything seems to work fine, and i just installed my first rom (ginger mod), i would like to ask you:
1. Every time i install a new rom, i'll do a wipe for secerity reasons, but by doing this, how come everything i had on the phone doesn't dissapear, like pictures? Doesn't wipe mean factory reset = remove everything on the phone?
2. Every time i install a new rom, does the older one get removed automatic or do they stay left on the phone, if so how do i remove the old stuff?
3. I know this may sound stupid, but do i have the same root every time i install new rom? Because i noticed when i install new rom and i went i to recovery mode i see new color on the Meny, that's normal?
4. Which app is good for beginners to start with, like Rom's and doing backup, which of these should i purchase: titanium backup, rom manager P, rom toolbox P.
thanks guys,
1. Internal SD card data remains. Can't tell you why it just does.
2. Old Rom is replaced. No need to remove it.
3. Each Rom has its own kernel. That kernel may or may not be rooted.
4. Titanium backup. Also do backup via CWM.

Thank you for the quic answers,
1. when you're talking about the CWN, do you mean the one in the Rom manager?
2. So each rome, has their own root theme if i understood this correctly, so i don't need to worrie about re-rooting the device or something like that, because each rom has their own theme and meny?
3. which rom do you use and why, do you think that ginger-mod is good?
thanks again.

One you did a backup with your ClockWorkMod recovery, you can experiment as much as you wish. You can go with various TouchWiz-based roms. You can try CyanogenMod or MIUI, which are completely different. And if you don't like them, just restore the backup.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
2.I also got the CWM app with this root, and superuser( which i dont know what this do), but now when i installed Ginger-mod, suddenly i don't have the CWM app anymore, which i guess is normal?
3.So please can you explain this for me. Lets say i have ginger-mod now, but i decide i want to install CM7 now, but before i do this, i'll have to do a backup of the ginger-mod if something goes wrong with the CM7, am i right so far?
So i'll have to install this CWM app (where i find it?) and make a backup, and then try a new rom. But if i make a wipe before installing new rom, wont the CWM app dissapear or something like that? Or if i install new rom again, will the CWM app be gone again?
I know my English grammer isn't that great, but i'll hope you understood me anyway.

The CWM app is a manager for the ClockWorkMod-recovery. The ClockWorkMod-recovery is a replacement for the stock Android-recovery. You enter the recovery by shutting your device down, holding volume-up and home and then pressing the power-button until you see the galaxy s2 logo. The CWM-app does not give you root-rights, in fact, it requires root-rights to work properly.
The SuperUser app gives you the root-rights. On OS' like Linux (and of course Android) there is one user called "root" (or superuser). He is basically what the Administrator was for Windows before Vista, having full access to everything.
The superuser-app manages what apps get root-permissions. You'll notice when it happens, because whenever an app wants to gain root-permissions, you'll see the superuser-app popping up and asking you if this is OK.
The fact that you don't have the CWM-App is no problem, as it just manages the recovery. The recovery itself does not need additional apps to be installed.

Enter the cwm-recovery (already said how you do this). You'll find various menus. One of them is the "Backup and Restore"-menu. You'll just create a backup to your internal or external sdcard (as you wish). When it is completed (without errors), you can safely flash any other rom. If you want to come back, you just enter cwm again and restore the backup.
You don't have to create a backup, but it's always good to have one of a working system.

As I already said, you don't need the app. If your kernel does not provide it (it's just not there from the start), live with it. Everything you do in this app will just start the cwm-recovery anyway.
The ClockWorkMod-recovery is the "standard" for custom-roms. You can be sure that, if you flash another rom, it will have it too. And if your Rom does not come with CWM (like a stock-rom), you can just flash a kernel with cwm again (like Siyah).
Hope this clears things up for you. If you have any more questions (even if you think they're stupid) ask us here. It's better to ask twice, than to break something.
Happy new year!

thank you, you explained everything perfect. I think i can manage figure out the rest by my self. Just one last question:
I noticed to good programs, and where you also could do a backup for your rom's and much more:
# Rom manager (Premium)
# Root toolbox (Pro)
Which one of these would you suggest for a beginner friendly UI and settings, do you use one of these?
thanks, and happy new year.
You don't need them. The ROM-manager is just an app like the cwm-app. It handles your ClockWorkMod-recovery. It does nothing itself. Once you click create backup, your phone will reboot into the ClockWorkMod-recovery, which will do the job.
However for the ROM-manager to work, you need to install the ClockWorkMod-recovery that shops with it. Just stick with the version of your kernel. This avoids confusion.
Besides that the ClockWorkMod-recovery is beginner-friendly. Just don't touch any options, you don't know what they do.
I recommend you to get a kernel with the latest recovery. The Siyah-kernel. It is compatible to practically every ROM out there. Just reflash the kernel after you flash a ROM.

I recommend you to get a kernel with the latest recovery. The Siyah-kernel. It is compatible to practically every ROM out there. Just reflash the kernel after you flash a ROM.

You have been veryhelpful, i've learned a few things now thanks to you. Just some last questions then i'm fine.
1. I've downloaded Siyahkernal from his website http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ and as you see, i can choose between TAR, and Zip (download), which one of them is it that i put under the PDA in Odin? Or it doesn't matter which i download?
2. So after every Rom install i make, i install Siyah-kernal, let's say i installed Ginger-Mod, and this mod has Darkknight kernal, and now i install Siyah, will Siyah replace the other kernal, or will those 2 stick with eachother?
3. Just so i don't make any misstakes, installing kernal, is like installing root for the first time right? Meaning = 1, Put phone into download mode. 2.Put the kernal file in PDA 3. Press start?
4. I've noticed that there's a new version av Siyah 2.6.4, is this stable, and have he released it for download yet, because i couldn't find it?
Thanks for every answer you giving me. I feel much safer allready =).

ODIN is TAR CWM is ZIP .

REPLACE

YES

No idea read the siyah thread .
No point asking is anything stable its development forum and as 2.6.3 was only released two days ago i guess not .
Stable = stock .
Once you start you have to be prepared for problems though 90% do not have a problem some do .
Rooting or Custom rom voids warranty .

As JJEgan said.
4. You can see what the developer is working on while he is doing it. Therefore the changelog for the latest release is what to expect for the next version.

Ah ok, i see. But do you think i should use the 2.6.3 version( since it's new), or is there any older version that's more stable?
Answer to Jjegan:
Yes i know, but there's allways something els you can say to the store, because they can't proof my phone got destroyed by rootinng,or can they?
Thanks guys.
Go with the latest one and, if you experience any problems, look for an update or downgrade, if there is none available yet.

I started to notice another problem.
Sometimes CWM wont recognize my external SD, example: I have put kernal, and roms in it, and when i want to flash these, i only get "no files found". And sometimes it work, but often it wont.
What can i do about this?
Sometimes cwm mistakes the internal for the external. Just take the other option.
Besides that, better update to Siyah 2.6.4. The ClockWorkMod there is more reliable.
