Is there a way to root the Fascinate and install Clockworkmod solely using only a MAC?? If so, HOW??.... Thanks in advance!
I agree I'd love to know
I just rooted my Fascinate using my MAC following this link at Android Central
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...ll-about-rooting-faqs-how-tos.html#post598519
BTW.. I am on Build EA28 in case your wondering
Now I need to know how to install the Clockworkmod Kernel using my MAC so I can run rom manager and flash recovery. Anyone know??

Really? It's that easy on EA28? I was under the impression you needed the clockworkmod kernel flashed first. Anyone else have any insight on this?
Just tried flashing via ROM Manager and it's a no go. I need to flash custom kernel and the link that is in this thread is broken

From what I've read, Heimdall (or whatever the name is) doesn't work for our phones, so Odin is the only way to flash it. Setting up a VirtualMachine and using USB-passthrough probably would work, but otherwise you'd need to find a computer that can run Odin (you'd also need to use Odin whenever you change the modem used).

Heimdall works fine with the fascinate. I haven't used odin in months, and use heimdall daily to flash test kernels and such. Not sure it works with mac though.

There has got to be another way. When using ODIN how is it flashing it to your phone? Is it possible to use ADB commands through MAC to accomplish the same thing? Also there is a way to flash the clockworkmod kernel using a MAC, instructions are posted on the previous post (link) but the link within that thread is broken, anyone have the file??

Wait? You flashed clockwork mod, followed by rebooting and then selecting the update.zip and it didn't work?

Rom Manager can only install part of CWM. The rest needs to be flashed via Download mode, such as with Odin (or that other one, apparently).

I never used Odin until my eb01 flash...fyi
I cant even get my mac to recognize my phone. I searched 3 sites yesterday and still cant get it to connect. It says the disc is not readable.
I haven't been able to find samsung drivers for MAC. I can dual boot on my mac so everything for my phone I have to switch to Windows.
Here is all you need for using your Mac to push files to your SD (when the computer won't recognize), root, flash CWM... Only thing not possible yet is flashing the radio. So if you plan to upgrade to froyo you need to at least have the DL09 radio already.
Tried the one click root and it wouldnt work...said permission denied. Tried it about 5 different ways and never got past the first step where I was supposed to drag and drop files into terminal to be pushed to sdcard. Allows denied permission...i assume I was dragging the right files into the terminal.
You need to use the manual adb rooting method when rooting in OS X. Also to flash custom kernel and recovery, you need to flash them with redbend_ua.

Did you try 3 button to get into clockwork.if you can, try a different kernel.its not bricked, if there is any good news.one of these smart people in the vibrant community will help.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I can get into recovery using the 3 button, its not the clockwork recovery though, also not sure how to apply any other kernel as I can't access the internal SD memory.
Did you check re-partition in Odin? (Be careful though!)
yes tried with and without re-partition.
Yikes. When you say you've tried multiple stock ROMs, you mean you've used Odin versions of several stock ROMs?

Nope, but the problem I believe is that I wont be able to install clockwork anymore as I can't access the internal SD card, is that correct ?
If you can get to stock recovery, I'm pretty sure you can push files to the internal sd storage via adb.

Not sure how to do it, but I'll do some reading and give it a shot.
You seem kind of new so just asking this in case, you aren't using a galaxy s 4g are you?
If you are using the vibrant, then disregard the first line of this post.
Try some of these things:
Right drivers installed?
Try another version of odin.
Make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone.
I've always heard using a usb 2.0 port is recommended.
Sometimes I've found using a different computer seems to solve the problem. (preferably 32bit)
Good luck.

I am using a vibrant, and yes I am not using the cable that came with the phone, I lost that one using another over the counter cable. I have tried a Win XP and Windows 7.0 PC. One thing I have noticed is that on my PC I always get a notification that "your device can work faster if connected to a usb2.0 port" I get that message to all the ports on my laptop. Maybe its the cable.... not sure if a cable can make it work usb1.1 when the port maybe really usb2.0.
thanks
Sounds like Odin is working fine. Did you try Delete All User Data (or whatever it's called) in stock recovery?
flash eugene's froyo that doesn't brick then stock JFD. solves the problem in most cases.

Do you have adb installed and setup? If not, find a tutorial and get it working.
Once you have adb working, this should work:
1. Boot phone into recovery with 3 buttons
2. Select reinstall packages. (Yes, it will fail, but this step is necessary for some reason)
3. From your PC, execute "adb push update.zip /sdcard" (This is assuming you have the update.zip from Clockwork Recovery)
4. Select reinstall packages again, phone will reboot, select reinstall packages again

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

Add long as your phone is an i777, you follow the instructions on the OP, and you re-wipe and flash before asking about something messing up... Yes.
I would also recommend flashing aokp 7.3 ICS, then flashing the JB ROM. It seems to be helpful.

If you start off using any custom ROM, especially the AOKP, I do suggest you spend time read more, follow that thread (the link you provided), the more you read the more you save time and avoid headache down the road. One example that Phalanx just pointed out, it isn't listed anywhere but from reading and following that thread.
1. Make sure your device is i777, if anything other than that, stop.
2. Make sure you have the CwM Recovery installed. Do get along with the buttons such what home button does, what power button does. It depends on the CwMR version.
3. Follow the instruction of the ROM for installation.
4. Good luck and enjoy.

Luckily you don't have CWM installed yet using Rom Manager what you have is Rom Manager....
1. Uninstall Rom Manager ASOP
2. You need to flash a custom kernel to get CWM you can do that be installing Mobile Odin lite free from XDA and flashing a kernel...
3. You need to read LOTS more or you risk BRICKING your phone......
4. It will depend what ROM your on now what kernel you need to flash to get CWM Gingerbread = GB kernel ICS = ICS kernel PLEASE read before doing ANYTHING............

I help you.... I would rather help you then have you brick your phone but of course do whatever you want.... You can DL and install these 2 files just like any other apk install MobileODINLite first then FlashKernel I777 of course you will need to be rooted, this wont change anything on your phone it will just install the app to get you ready to flash the zImage... The next step is KEY as to what you're running now.... That's where I have questions...

got it. why does odin need my location?
also, it says that odin required an add-on to be able to flash firmwares on the device (i think i just figured it out... was that the second thing i installed?).

I'm not sure why the location permission BUT it is built by 1 of the best devs on here ChainFire nothing to worrie about....
the second file was the add-on, when you load mobile odin is it saying you need to install the add-on? Now you need to flash the zImage to get CWM if you haven't already....What firmware are you on now? I feel dumb telling to flash the 2nd file you only need the Odin lite to flash the zImage (kernel) to get CWM once you flash a new ROM in CWM you will lose all the data anyways... Now that you have um back them up and save them so when you flash a new ROM you can reinstall both of them!! Always good to have IMO...

@sniper8752,
You seem to be flailing around in the dark. You really need to not only read, but also see how things fit together. Just a friendly warning, if you don't know what a zImage is, or why you are flashing it, or which zImage to use, you still need to do some more reading and get a better overall picture before you continue with flashing JellyBean.
The zImage is the kernel. (Don't forget to capitalize the I as linux is case sensitive.) I am assuming you are rooted but do not have ClockworkMod Recovery installed yet. You need to install a custom kernel that matches your system. That means flash a Gingerbread kernel if you currently have a Gingerbread system, or an ICS kernel if you currently have an ICS system. The various options for the kernels are available in the development section. To use a zImage with mobile odin, you must extract the zImage from the .zip file (or sometimes .tar) that the developer makes available. Mobile odin can actually pull the kernel from a tar file, but it will not recognize a zip file.

I have decided on flashing this rom: http://ultimatum.us/. looks like it will take about an hour to download... i currently have ics installed. to flash the zImage, do I click on "Kernel" in the app.?
thanks for help and explaining the zImage. what would be the best way to learn all of this? is there a good site so I don't have to go looking around everywhere? maybe like a beginner's guide?

What app? There is no app...
ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) yes, app NO.
EDIT: Just realized you may be talking about mobile Odin our three cwm app. Don't use either at this print, much easier using CWM (reboot into recovery of you've got a custom ROM/kernel)

so i should use cwm instead of odin? i thought people were telling me not to use cwm?
I have been trying all day to root this bad boy. After finding nothing but broken link after broken link I finally found <cm-10.1-20121229-UNOFFICIAL-p4wifi.zip> and <cm10.1-20130116-UNOFFICIAL-p4wifi.zip> I am stuck at this point because I don't know which to use and well, quite frankly im a noob. ive watched a couple videos and even talked to a guy who rooted his but, i'm unsure about where to put this friggin file. some people say to have my tab in usb debug mode while others say to the contrary. some say to put my tab into odin3 while others say to have it in recovery mode but the one consistency is that they all say that its simple and "noob proof". Well with all the contradictory methods i've researched the one thing ive concluded is that for a noob it really aint that easy to sort through everything ive found and realize what the hell to do. I really don't wanna brick this frigger so this if anything is a desperate cry for help.
Long story short, I have the files which one do I use and what do I do with it?

There's nothing hard about rooting if you want to flash a custom ROM on your tab, 99.9% of the developers pre-root their ROM's so you dont even have to root it, so did pershoot.
Step 1: You start from zero: you have a gt-p7510 STOCK ROM on android 4.0.4, if not, flash the ics bootloader from droidbasement.com via odin in PDA slot.
Step 2: go to droidbasement.com, and it depends which android version you want to flash, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, or 4.2.2, let's say you want do flash android 4.2.2, download clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.4, flash it via odin in PDA slot and reboot your device.
Step 3: once you have cwm 6.0.3.4 flashed, connect your tablet to your pc and get the latest nightly version, YOU DON'T WANT TO USE EXPERIMENTAL BUILTS!! Since they were only ment for pure development and they could be very unstable. Download the latest version here http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi here and copy the file over from your computer to your device. DO NOT FORGET!
Step 4: reboot your device into recovery and do a factory reset, go to your 0 folder in recovery and flash the latest nightly built. ( a factory reset via cwm will not delete data on your SDcard
Step 5: reboot your device again when it's done and wait up to 10 minutes.
And last but not least step 6: enjoy!!

In Odin, there is a PDA button. Click it and select your file.

Get your tablet in download mode, it's the same way as you go to recovery, but then the other image on the right side, your tab will warn you that flashing other software may cause problems on your tab and blabla, just ignore that and push yes. Connect your tab to your pc and open odin, while it's connected, your pc will look for a driver i think. Once odin is opened, select PDA slot and search for the recovery safed on your computer, then hit the square box and make sure the box in front of'PDA SLOT' is check with a 'V', now it will flash cwm on your tablet
So i have to have odin on my pc?

Why do people always feel they have to run to customs roms? To me that is like saying to somebody who asks how to change a wheel on a car that first they have to remove the engine and put in a supercharged version instead with all the added unreliability that goes with it.... Custom roms are great but sometimes when answering a question the sledgehammer to crack a walnut approach is not the best..... if you are happy with stock rom to start with try rooting that first then if you want to go further try the custom approach
If you just want to root a stock firmware then all you have to do is install clockwork recovery using odin and flash a root zip through recovery.....
Root file is here for you and if you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44527963#post44527963 there is a good version of odin for your tab and drivers (if you haven't already installed them ) that I recently posted
As long as you are sure it is 7510 you have then recovery for pushing through odin is attached as well
I cant have root permissions after flashing CM 10.2 (I accidentally did full sd card data wipe with twrp 2.6.0.0 before) , now none of apps that request root works..I tried to flash older superuser.zip files but that didnt work (when trying to flash superUS v1.50 zip it always writes ''failed')'. Any solution to that?
Try installing SuperSu from play store, see if that works otherwise if that doesn't work go to android development stickies for this forum' download root.zip and try to root again through recovery

Ok.. being as you're new to this.. I advise you to watch QBKing's video on rooting this device, really any of his rooting vids will show you how to install odin/drivers and then to Odin the custom recovery...
If you feel unsure after watching the video or have any questions... just hit me back and I can walk ya through it..
Don't be worried if I don't see you're reply right away.. I'm on my way home from vaction and my service is less than spotty.. ( thanks sprint )
The video was enlightening to say the least. However the thread at ac syndicate is now closed. Sooooo im wondering if there is anywhere else i can find the necessary files

Glad it worked ! :good:
If anybody else needs the files to root or a link to qbking77 video....look at my FAQ thread....everything needed to root is there, minus the Sammy drivers( you can get them when you plug you're tab into the PC )...
Also...do yourself a favor and as soon as you root...go put infamous twrp recovery on the device..I have flashed every single ROM I've put on my device through this recovery...no problems yet...Lol.

Copy them where on the device?

Where do you copy the step 3 files? I can't even access the file directory on the tablet for more than 1-2 minutes before it resets. I flashed the step 2 files (no change), and having trouble knowing where to but the step 3 files and how to access the target directory. Could you clarify for me? Thanks.

I'm trying to root and put CM10.1 on my device, but the methods I see involve having ICS or Kies. Kies is not working on my computer, it doesnt launch for some reason. How can I either update to ICS or root 2.3.6 which is on the device now with out it? What's the best way to get CM10.1, please help! All the methods are kind of old...
The methods are old much like the version you are on.
Why would installing a custom ROM need kies? It doesn't. You need Odin or heimdall to flash custom kernel with recovery and then you can flash whatever ROM you want.

What Pirateghost said. Just flash CWM (clockworkmod recovery) through Odin (google or xda search it). From there the rest will be piece of cake.
Or you could just download "drama root". It's an apk file that you install on your phone, run it, and it riots it within a few seconds and installs Super User. It's quick and easy. Next all you need to do is install a custom recovery via Mobile Odin. You didn't even need to touch a PC to root your phone.
