i think omj is going to change his op on af...ill copy that over when he does
When I get in Odin and select CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5, it fails.
I did not touch any settings in Odin, just clicked PDA and selected that file.
Edit: Redownloaded that file and got it to work. I am now having an issue when applying update.zip... it starts but then comes up with an exclamation point inside of a triangle and the little Android guy... phone reboots fine.
Did you get this solved? Check out the thread at AF I had the same problem
worked like a charm..thanks!

ok so i havent been able to find a full answer..but does this leave the device in DI01 or 05 or 09?
just by looking at the files it seems as if it goes from 05 to 09 but once in about phone>build number it reads : DI01
so im just looking for a little clarification here..just rooted my Facinate minutes ago so im still stuck in the whole mindset of the Incredible.
I tried this. Have EA28. Not sure how. Didn't install. Saw install screen on phone last night and hit cancel.
Anyway, Ran Odin, CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5, reboot, blue text, apply sdcard:update.zip, switched to red text, install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip, choose zip from sd card, DJ05_DL09_kernel.zip (plain kernel due to dl09), ran titanium backup, could not acquire root priv.
Startup screen has sound, but not animation anymore. Installed superuser and it shows titanium backup under "allow". When I run TB, I get the error screen and below in another small screen says, "Titanium Backup has been granted superuser permissions". But can't get anywhere to backup apps. Says Root Access: Failed.
ideas?
Another thing that confused me was the red cwm says voodoo lagfix recovery v2.5.1.x. I thought you weren't supposed to use any voodoo for DL30? Not that I've made it that far due to titanium backup issue, but....
Can anyone confirm whether or not this to sure does or doesn't work with ea28? My wife updated he phone and now she wants it rooted.
Edit this does work for EA28. Everything went smoothly. Thanks nitsuj.

EA28 going to DL09?
Hello..
I am just getting around to rooting my fascinate now. I have EA28. From the instructions, it appears you are going back to DL09. Is that correct? What is the significance of that? Should I care?
Thanks in advance!
This thread is old and should be deprecated. The directions still work, but you need to use the Odin package of ClockworkMod in this thread (it's the very first item linked) instead of the md5 file (DL05_DJ09) above.
However, if you're going custom the thing you should *really* do is Odin in one of the full-Froyo packages. This will include both root and recovery.

Thanks S44. My goal is to go froyo, but I need to be rooted first in order to do that.
I have been reading all the threads but many of them are very long. The DL30 thread is over 50 pages long.
So should I:
1) follow the instructions in this thread but use the new ClockworkMod then
2) update to froyo.
What is the most current thread for updating to froyo on the fascinate while after I am rooted?
Appreciate it.

Actually, no you don't. Download mode is magic. You *do* need to be rooted to back up apps with Titanium, if you want to do that. In that case, follow the directions above (with the new recovery). Then back up your user apps + app data.
Whether or not you do this, you should move to Froyo with a full-Odin package. Download the ROM you want (either Nameless, Super Clean, or whatever) in zip form to your SD card. Follow the directions here (under "Most Thorough Method of Fixing Every Problem You Might Have") using the first two files here and the recovery I mentioned in my previous post. Yes, this is sort of overkill, but better to avoid stuff like corrupted dbdata from the beginning and not have to fix it later.
You might want to wait a day or so because it looks like jt is finally fixing up Clockwork.
EDIT: I read almost all of the 52 pages of the DL30 thread to realize that DL30 is out of date . I guess Its going to be EB01 or Superclean. Do you know if Superclean has the audio out via USB working for the docks?
I have some questions in regards to picking ROMs:
I am a little confused in where to find the latest versions. For example in the "most thorough me..." thread, there is a link to super clean version form 3/30/2011 yet wiki has super clean from last year. Where can I look at all the ROMs and descriptions?
Which froyo ROM would you recommend? I love Google's stock froyo, but I also want to use the fascinate's USB audio out on the car and desktop dock. I also would like to wifi tether.
Thanks again!
This post had a link to download ODIN but it was removed. Could you please provide that link again. It also had a link to "Samsung Drivers", don't I need that too?
I am going to take a shot at following the ""Most Thorough Method..." steps tomorrow morning and install superclean on my Facinate. Quick Q: In step one, it simply says to ODIN EB01. I can just do this without being rooted?
Also, you said jt is fixing up clockwork. What do you mean by this, what exactly does not work?
I know these are noob questions, but I am just starting out with this.
Thanks
Driver links are here. Odin is here.
Yes, download mode lets you Odin in complete firmware packages without root.
Most people are using Super Clean, so that has the most support (and themes), but there are some odd issues floating around with it. My guess is that a lot of those issues have to do with not cleaning up in the super-thorough way I'm suggesting, and with the permissions bug after flashing a theme (below). There's also navendrob's EC10-based "Nameless" ROM, and ahmgsk's DL30-based "TrulyFascinating" ROM. Nameless is good but he's about to drop a version 4 with a lot of fixes, so you might wait a day or so for that. TrulyFascinating seemed to be pretty good (heavily stability-tested), but he hasn't updated it in a while (busy with more recent Epic leaks, I guess). You might try running it with one of the state-of-the-art EC10 Voodoo kernels.
There are a couple of Clockwork bugs, but the one causing the most current problems is that the old one couldn't fix permissions properly. This causes issues after making a change to the /system after the initial ROM flash, generally when you flash a theme on top of it. The new one I linked above *can* fix permissions, but still requires you to manually mount /dbdata beforehand (actually, go to the "mounts and storage" submenu and make sure /system /dbdata and /data are all mounted -- that is, the option referring to them says "unmount", which will happen when they're mounted -- before you go to the "advanced" submenu and run the fix permissions script). The new new one coming soon will just fix it without a problem, and do other stuff too.
Once again thanks. I have everything I need....or so I thought.
I restored my phone to factory, loaded the drivers, fired up ODIN and added the PDA and PIT. I hit start.... nothing happens. "All threads complete, succeed 0 / failed 0"
Looks like I am missing something. Do I need to somehow tell ODIN where the phone is? I don't see a way to do that.
PS in step 4 its states "ODIN the CWM Recovery package ROM from this post". Does CWM bin file go into PDA or phone in ODIN?
I one again apologize for my noobiness.
The Clockwork step comes after you do the full package and boot with that.
Make sure you have Odin open *before* you connect the phone in download mode.
So, Where do I begin? I, like everyone else was upset about not getting ota 2.2 for the fascinate. So i decided to go through the whole rooting thing and used odin to get a sc 2.2 rom, But it wasn't running so smoothly, so I tried to put a new rom on using rom manager...Now heres the problem, I did something wrong in recovery manager and now I can boot the phone up, into my 2.2 rom still, but I cant do anything because it repeatedly comes up with the messages that you get when a program crashes(Force close button)
So basically I need a way to get back to any working ROM (stock is fine too), which doesn't need access to the phone os. I can provide any other details necessary to fix he problem.
Please help me..
I will donate to whoever can get me working again!

Follow that link and do some reading there. Basically, it takes you through the process of using a program called Odin to completely flash a new, working ROM. It also has the most recent release of the SuperClean ROM which can also be found in the Fascinate Development section here.

Well, it seems that you know how to use Odin (download mode, use the PDA button), what you probably didn't know was NOT to use ROM manager. It only works with the newest CWM, which does not work on our phones. And that doesn't matter b/c all of the roms for our phones are made to work with CWM Red (2.x, not 3.x).
So after you flash the new ROM (and the new modem) using ODIN, you can then select different kernels that you may want to use with that rom.
I've been using ROM manager pretty successfully. I just simply haven't upgraded CWM to 3.x

Personally ide stay away from rom manager. ive heard nothing but bad things.. but to fix your mess ull need to odin like stated above.. but u dont have to flash the whole rom on odin.. just find a whole rom/radio/kernal package, use odin to flash clockwork 2.5 and you should b able to book into clockwork at that point and just flast the rom following the directions in the noob post under the dev section.. good luck
Thanks for the help guys! I originally got into this mess by trying to flash to JT1134's AOSP, uhmm here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919864
and i read on that post (I think) that you cant use odin for that. Which makes sense as it isnt the same ".tar.md5" that my 2.2 sc rom was...How would I go about doing this, without rom manager?
Easiest way I can think of would be to use Odin for one of the SuperClean ROM's just to get your phone working as easy as possible.
Then, once it's functioning again, download the ROM and kernel zips(if you haven't already) and copy the zip file for the AOSP ROM you want along with the kernel. You can copy them to the root of the sdcard so they would be easiest to find in the coming steps. Also, remember the names so you can find them later.
Then pull up the shut down menu on the phone(by holding the power button) and choose the recovery option.
You should be in Clockword Mod Recovery at this point. You'll want to clear out the SuperClean ROM, so run through both the "wipe data" and "wipe cache" options in the menu. Run through those twice just for good measure.
Now scroll down and select install zip from sd card.
Next, select choose zip to install.
Find the zip file for the ROM, and select it. Then select the only Yes option on the list.
Repeat the last step for the kernel's zip file.
Press menu to get back to the main menu, and select reboot system now.
Wait out the reboot(it may take SEVERAL minutes this first time).
Enjoy AOSP!

I dont have that option when i hold the power button, i usually get into recovery through rom manager...This shouldn't make a difference right?
I have tried that when i do it, it starts to run the code and Aborts. The rull message is
"Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted"
This probably spells out exactly what my problem is.....but i dont understand it...lol
I think I see the issue. Do you have CWM 3.x on your phone? I don't believe that works with the Fascinate. Head to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
And download the .tar file in the first post and use Odin to flash the correct recovery. Then, after that, hold the power button and both volume buttons(up and down) which will force you into the new recovery mode, which should be red. From there, you should be able to go forward with the flashing of your AOSP ROM and kernel.
Worked perfectly!!! This rom is Stellar!
Fantastic! I'm so glad you're back up and running!

I install the clockworkmod for set up the GTAB rom...
but now i want to return to the stock recovery...so how to uninstall clockworkmod?
thanks!
savage,
You install CWM to replace the stock recovery. Therefore, you have to re-install the
stock recovery. If you were using a stock rom like say 3588, you would just reinstall
the rom again and let it overwrite CWM.
But since I don't know what rom you are using, you need to check the source of
your rom, make sure it contains the stock recovery -- and then inquire of the issuer
of the rom whether or not you should re-install or do some other special procedure.

thanks！ Now i am using the VEGAn-Tab Build rom~
so what should i do next?
sorry for the confusion~
GTAB ROM is not granular enough - you running stock or a modded ROM? If so, which ROM?
I can reply for TNT Lite 4.3.0+ or gADAM 1.3.0+ - there's a script setup to go back to standard recovery. If you are running either of these, please see my first posts on those ROMs for instructions on what to do. Again, this is only if you are running TNT Lite or gADAM.
You can also attempt to flash standard recovery using a build 3588 standard recovery firmware image in PART3 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005080
savage,
EDIT: roebeet answered you first so I'll just stand by and see what y'all do.

problem with installing CWM
I got my gtablet yesterday and tried to install CWM v.8 using external micro SD card. It looked like it was half way done because it could not reboot by itself and stuck at a screen asking for reboot. So I selected reboot but it did not reboot. I had to force it to close. When I pressed volume+ and power, it had this message on the upper left coner: Recover key detected, booting recovery kernel image and 3 birds in the middle of the screen. It stuck there forever without doing anything. I only installed Z4root and nothing else. How can I remove the half-done CWM and redo it again. If I can do it again, what should I look out to avoid the same error?

If you got your tablet yesterday, then it probqbly had firmware 1.2.4349 on it, which is a 1.2 bootloader firmware. You tried installing a CWM made for a 1.1 bootloader. how much research did you do prior to modding? Seeing as you installed Z4root, I'd imagine that you didn't do much, as it's not needed at all to root your G-tab.
go to http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and start reading at "START HERE" to get an idea of what your dealing with, and what you can and can't do...look through the entire site!
to get out of where you are now, and back to a workable base, follow the "CODE RED" instructions here: http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
Lastly...don't do anything else silly until you've read and understand all of the instructions on Goodintentions site...it's a GREAT resource and should be a pre-requisite for all new G-Tab owners.
Needing some help with 3eRecovery. I understand every thread I've read on how to do these things, but it doesn't work the way everyone says. Explanation below.
____________________________________________
I'm definitely rooted... have superuser and test with Terminal Emulator. su works fine. Even tested root with Titanium Backup. It works.
Trying to install 3e recovery, to get CWM3, to get KA6+voodoo kernel. 3e recovery installer fails root check every time.
From what I've read, if you're already permanently rooted, the modified 3e recovery installer would stop checking for temporary root. This is clearly not the case here. I've even tried running SuperOneClick to shell-root the device, which it succeeds at, but this does not change any results from the 3e recovery installer.
I have even used Odin3 to start from scratch on the machine, taking it all one step at a time, back from the original Eclair ROM+KRNL, Kies upgrade to KA6, SuperOneClick.
oh, and yes, I've tried installing the KA6 stock+voodoo kernel through Odin. Odin says it succeeds, the phone reboots, but there is no difference. I've installed the Voodoo Control app, but it shows that there's no Ext4 conversion. Am I doing something wrong? Is my phone doing something weird?
I really wanna get rid of the rfs system. absolutely hating it. There are two images attached proving root and showing results of 3eRecovery
I'm obviously studying the XDA Vibrant Bible, but here's some other links I'm using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
Did you try reboooting into recovery to see if you have it properly installed?
definitely have... plus it fails at the temp root check, would it do that if the 3eRecovery were installed properly? I'd think it'd fail later.
and yes, I've tried installing CWM3 through Rom Manager a couple of times after attempting the 3eRecovery, and the "install package" choice repeats and repeats and repeats, I never see the CWM Recovery.
Is it telling you there's no more room in /system? Remove a bloat app like Slacker Radio to free up some space if you haven't already. Good luck!
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
no... I saw that message once a while back, before I restored to original krnl and rom, the jfd one I think. but since I did that and started from scratch, this is the first problem I've run into.
Q: if I use the 512 pit file with the KA6+voodoo krnl tar found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480) in Odin v.1.7, shouldn't that accomplish the same thing as cracking the recovery and using CWM to load up the zip version? when I try to use the Odin version, nothing changes? is that what you mean when you ask if my /system is full?
I'll remove some apps (i use Slacker) like Ads to Home, T-Mobile TV, etc. I'll let you know if Odin works any better. but I don't anticipate anything changing.

Repartition choice in Odin
For others suffering this and other seemingly unfathomable problems with a Galaxy S phone... reset phone to official/full/original ROM+KRNL (JFD in my case) and use the re-partition choice in Odin. after I did that, I rerooted with SuperOneClick, installed a Terminal Emulator, and manually removed some of the bloatware that came with it.
Don't know which one of these fixed it, but the 3eRecovery installer worked after that... I downloaded the ROM Manager again, did the CWM that is included with that, had to click "reinstall packages" twice, but then it worked.
Thanks for the tip Droidificator. Don't know for sure if it's it, but I'm sure it didn't hurt.
___________________________________________________
lol... great irony in all of this is that Kies updated my phone to KB5 instead of KA6, so now I'm looking at using OCLF for the ext2 tools for now.
any advice on where to go from here to have the most efficiency out of this phone from the KB5?
make sure that a current version of busybox is installed. i had an issue with this when i ODIN'd back to stock and re-rooted. good luck with everything!
But I'm a bit (really) confused about a lot of things regarding this process. I've been reading for a week now and barely getting anywhere.
So first, a little history.
I'm running a stock vibrant, Froyo.UVKB5, 2.6.32.9 kernel, never been rooted.
Now, one of the main reasons for my upgrade is the loss of wifi connectivity. For some reason I can no longer connect to most ISP's or WIFI hotspots, especially my own.
Now, here's the kicker; I don't have a data package on my service so I am dependent on wifi only. Now that I can't get wifi, I'm not sure if I can get all the files I need to do this upgrade. I'm hoping this upgrade will reconnect me to wifi.
Reading through the Wiki for rooting (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959), it says I am to use Superuser AND binary, is this correct?
I've found a boatload of Superuser files one the ClockworkMod ROM Manager website, ... which one do I use, there's no explanation?
And I understand I need to install SuperSU AFTER I have it rooted.?.
Regarding an updated OS, from the questions and remarks on this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900763), I need both a kernel AND a rom? But other threads I've read say the kernel is in the ROM. Does this mean that CyanogenMod's CM7.2.0 is kernel only and doesn't get you anywhere?
Also from this thread, suggestions were made to upgrade to one kernel, then a rom, then to another kernel and rom, and finally to the kernel and rom the user wants. Why is this necessary?
I have many more questions but they branch off depending on answers to these fundamental questions here.
So, if there's anyone with enough patience and willing to hold my hand through this process, I would greatly appreciate it.
And I need to go cancel my monthly paid warranty fee on this old phone too.
ROMs typically include a kernel in their update zip. CyanogenMod is a ROM and as such includes our own kernel when you install it. Be aware of the 911 issues before upgrading your os to a custom rom.

To install Clockworkmod, if you are using Android 2.2 Froyo, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Run the "3e_recovery_installer" from your computer with the phone connected and USB debugging mode enabled. Then boot into stock recovery (Hold VOL+ and VOL- and POWER with the phone off, release when you see the logo) and flash the "update.zip" twice. It will boot into a green CWM that temporarily exist until you turn off the phone, beware that this temp CWM only let you flash zips from your Vibrant internal storage, it will not recognize your microSD.
Note: If you are using Eclair 2.1, you should be able flash the update.zip directly without the "3e recovery installer".
You can either flash root from CWM, or download a rom like SlimBean and flash it directly. When you flash a custom rom, it will install a newer version of CWM first (because the older version of CWM will not be able to flash the rom) and the phone will reboot. Take off the battery and put it back, boot into recovery again to see the new version of CWM, then you can install the custom rom again fully this time. Generally you should do a "wipe data and cache" before installing a rom, but sometimes, you might also need to go to "mount and storage" and format the /system folder before you can flash a new rom successfully. This can help avoid system files from your old Android installation to exist and merge with the new rom installation. However, the /system folder is where most of the OS important files are locate so without it the phone won't boot, so you need to have a custom rom in the phone (or microSD) to flash after you format it.
That should pretty much cover most of it. If you ever run into problems you can always use ODIN to recover the phone to factory stock. In fact, if you want to stay with stock and just want your WiFi to get fixed, its probably better to simply do an ODIN recovery (or a factory reset) first, before looking at custom roms.
Most of what I just said is covered in this sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
