[Q] Need Help - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright i have been trying and trying to get my phone to have the di05modem and be running the Dl30 froyo. I do not know what i am doing wrong nothing seems to be working and i have had to us odin restore files 3 times now. so here i am again
Phone curnnet setup STOCK
Model number
SCH-I500
Firmware version
2.1-update1
Baseband version
S:i500.04 V.DI01
Kernel version
2.6.29
Build number
SCH-I500.DI01
Problem one i am having is getting CWM installed. i try it through odin and it works one time then not the next, giving me the error of E: signature failed oh file i used was clockworkmod ALL.zip
Once i do it it to work i have use odin to then install DJ05modem.tar. It says everything went fine, i let it boot and it works, the modem then says v.dj05
So then i try to install the stock dj05 rom/system, file DJ05_stock.zip through CWM it says it works and all is good. But i then try to boot and it makes it to the samsung logo and then just keeps resting itself
THen i jsut reset everything back to stock using the odin recovery files and im back to square one as i bought the phone.
Yes i am rooted that works everytime without a hitch. so what am i donig wroung

Im a little confused.
you say that ODIN works one time then does not work? You should only have to flash clockwork once.
It sounds like you are having a kernel problem. I am no dev but your description of the logo sounds a lot like what happened when I installed a voodoo kernel over a non voodoo ROM. I also do not see you mention the install of a kernel of any kind, you might search and see if there is a specific kernel needed for your rom. Much like the Super Clean roms have their own kernels that they work with.
Hopefully that can get you squared away in the right direction!

[Q] CM7 fascinatemtd Install Issue

I flashed the 6/09 build of jt1134's CM7 fascinatemtd ROM on my girlfriend's Fascinate, and the absolutely loved the improvement over stock. There were a few noticeably bugs, such as the sensor issue, so now I'm trying to flash the 7/07 update.
Booting into CWM Recovery, wiping, and installing the zip isn't working. It installes the bootloader (I get the Galaxy S/Cyanogen Mod boot image) but it keeps running an installer and boot looping. It looks like the assert error, but it's too fast to tell for sure.
I've had to keep restoring to EB01 Froyo stock with Odin, and starting the process over again (root, recovery, CWM, wipe, attempt flash.) Still no success. I've used both the orange and red CWM recoveries without success. Any help?
When you go back to eb01 are you also using the atlas 2.2 pit file
With re-partition checked?
Also you have to use the recovery in jt1134's original post...I believe there is only cwm one...possibly two your supposed to use and its in the same post... its yellowish orange color and I'm also pretty sure its a 4.x.x.x version not 3.x.x.x if that's what you've been trying to use that's probably the problem

^ what he said, also here's a link on how to use the pit eith full instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391
The 7/7 update seems to need the 7/4 release to work. It has an updater script that runs off of previous installations. Try flashing the 7/4 than the 7/7.
Beware that people are reporting that outgoing audio gets broken in the 7/7 release and you will have to flash the 7/4 otb kernel after the 7/7 release if you have any issues.
I did, indeed, use the PIT file with partitioning enabled, whenever I restored the phone. The directions I followed were pretty firm about that..
I didn't see anything about the 7/07 release being an update for 7/04, but that would make sense. I'll try that now and post results shortly. Thanks!
The 7/04 update flashsed successfully! I'm still nervous about 7/07, so I'll probably wait for the next update. Thanks for the help!
omg thank you so much..here i was trying to use the 7/07 update..i tried like 60 times literally..thanks man
I'm now running the nightly builds on my girlfriend's (now fiance's!) phone, her sister's phone, and her mom's phone all without a hitch. (I just had to update the radio to fix SM and MMS.) I'm thinking about switching on of them to MIUI to see if they like it better, but so far everything's good.

[q] please help me!!!

i have a samsung fascinate on verizon. now i used to have fun with roms and themes and what not on my phone.... since the update of the clockwork mod, it has been impossible. i have tried everything, amend2edify programs, odin, and every superclean rom seems to have the same thing, nothing differs and my phone goes right back to a new superclean rom i used and it is impossible to theme it or do anything different other than use it. this is boring and extremely frustrating. with no customization, what good is the phone?
if it helps.. my firmware is 2.2.1 / eb01 / dl09
im lost. everytime i try to flash anything from cwm i get an error, it takes my phone 4 mins to boot and then nothing. every time!
I know i am rooted successfully, seems once they switched from amend scrpts i lost my talent? and the cwm i have is orange screen (latest one dl from market and flashed) and i STILL boot to blue recovery and have to run update.zip to get to orange, without fail every time. it will not load on its own when i boot to recovery. crazy. maybe i am missing something here? someone please help me!
thank you.

I believe u need to odin a stock rom/kernal/radio package before switching roms. Look up the official verizon ed05 pacakage in the development section. Also read the stickies in there aswell.
Odin ed05.tar w/ pit
Boot up once
Odin cwm that's required by rom
Boot into recovery
Wipe data
Install rom.zip
i am trying this now. thank you in advance!
ok now, forgive me for sounding like an idiot (cuz i am) when you say odin cwm required by rom, am i sideloading cwm basically thru odin? and where would i find a download for cwm? im stock ed05 across the board now. thanks!

thanks again!
Glad that it worked...enjoy!

[Q] Help flashing ROM + rooting

So I've done it in the past and some reason my phone wont do it anymore. Used odin to put my phone back to stock (stock pit and DL09 tar). Except this time I cant get it to root. Tried using 2 different one click methods but each is saying my phone is not connected even with debugging on. Computer says it's connected, odin can even see it. I know I have to root it first to get clockwork to work. Is there a way of getting odin to do the rom? I am getting to the point of rooting/flashing that I know each step of odin without having to look at instructions. I got my Nexus S rooted and flashed with a rom but the Fascinate won't take.
You don't need to root to install another rom, installing most any custom ROM will root your phone in the process.
I've never bothered with any one click roots, they seem spotty at best on these phones.
Flash CWR from Odin, 3 finger into recovery, flash what ever ROM you want, and I'd flash a Kernel too if the ROM doesn't have it included.
Ok... gonna try it... I know i used voodoo kernel last time. I'm assuming use the PDA button for it, correct?
Yes, PDA button, flash the correct ClockworkRecovery. Remember you can't let it fully boot or you'll have to reflash the recovery. The stock Kernel reflashes the recovery everytime it boots.
Personally I prefer MIUI, and the Glitch kernel. But I prefer the MIUI launcher, so I was using MIUIWiz before "true" MIUI was up and running. If you run MIUI, CM7, OMFGB make sure you use the CWR that JT has in his CM7 post.

[Q] How can I get CWM back on my Telus Fascinate Gingerbread Stock?

I'm wondering how I can get CWM back on my stock gingerbread fascinate now... I used the speedmod kernel to root, which had CWM built in. Then I replace it with stock GB kernel.. which has 3e recovery.
When I run ROM manager now with gingerbread the fascinate don't come up in the list no more.. there are 2 i9000's, one of those is a MTD... and 2 others. 4 in total.
I have the update.zip file which I downloaded from Rom Manager when I was on Froyo. Will that work? I'm afraid to try.
I've also seen methods of ADB pushing the recovery.bin over the current 3e. I just really not to sure which is the best way to do it, and I've done so much reading now it's got me confused.
Thx

Second that - in the same boat.
As I understand it, it's a bootloader issue to install CM7 on Gingerbread. Downgrade to 2.2 and flash away!

I don't want CM, I want to get clockwork recovery on my stock gingerbread.
I'm also in the same Boat. It would be nice to get clockwork recovery installed.
I have successfully rooted Gingerbread, part of the process is to flash the the Speedmod kernel first. With the Speedmod kernel, it has clockwork on it which you can boot into but unfortunately your phone cannot normally boot with that kernel.
I'm loving Gingerbread right now, it is so much smoother then 2.2, there is no way I want to go back to 2.2.

Right there with you - so much better than 2.2 EVEN with lagfix running - was very thankful for ROOT but would love CWM recovery back - very useful tool.
I don't know if it was this thread I made the post, but something I did mention that I did was...
When I used the speedmod kernel to root the phone, I made a nandroid backup. Then I flashed the stock kernel back. I'm assuming if I wanted to restore my phone with the backup I could just flash the speedmod kernel back, restore by backup, then flash the stock kernel back again.
I don't know if clockwork is programmed to backup certain partitions, or if its dynamic, but I'm tempted to try my restore, but at the same time I don't want to go through all the updating agan.
Another thing, I have the 3 ODIN CWM file, the purple, blue, and no color ones you find on here. If you extract those you get a recovery.bin file, and there is no zimage (kernel). If you take one of those clockworkmods with no kernel and overwrite the stock recovery.bin in the phone, shouldn't that work?
I'm still new to android, first time I laid hands on one was this june, I'm still new, but I'm a fast learner too, but I want to figure this one out.

Hey MrManiacNF,
Thanks for the idea, I guess it is a work around for now until we are able to get CWM installed on Gingerbread.
I ended up flashing the speedmod kernal back on, booted into CWM and made a full nandroid backup. Reflashed the stock gingerbread kernal back and booted up as normal.
Yea I do the same thing, I mean you can't make a backup without a pc to flash with, but a backup is better then none.
No love from ROM Manager
Saw ROM Manager had a few updates, but still seeing the limited device selection when trying to create a custom recovery, and still fails with the unsigned zip.
Just wanted to post that if anyone was wondering if recent updates corrected anything, as they have not (at least for me).
I can also confirm, actually no new phones added to the list. I've also tried an app call Root Toolbox Pro. It has options to backup your recovery or flash another. I tried flashing the fascinate-3.0.0.8.zip that I had from Rom Manager from Froyo. No luck, just hung at boot. Had to re-flash stock kernel in odin to fix.

HELP 3 days with Vibrant softbricks!

Okay in the last three days I have softbricked my vibrant several times. Each time after tyring to update to a newer ROM. Now however I can not even return to what I had, only the Eclair ROM. I was running Tigers Breath Kernel with Bionix ROM
I should point out that my efs has hone corrupt mysteriously on this phone twice before in the past , and luckily I made a back up that was easily restored.
I now have a vibrant that was restored to a stock image however I believe the stock image is incomplete. It lacks the ability to reset.Says Something like reset service unavailable. I would be happy for now at the stock eclair image however I run into the same issue I had on Eclair before. Android Market will not download any apk, it starts pauses and fails.. When I look at the corresponding device in google play on the web I see it says PHONE and there is another SAMSUNG GALAXY VIBRANT T 969 . However the corresponding device is PHONE . So Google has no idea what my phone is. This could be the market issue however I want to point out that when I first set up the google account I can go to the market and download but once the market app is updated, it no longer works!
So a few days ago my goal was to attempt to install Gingerbread or higher to take a look at xbmc for android betas. The result has literally given me a 3 day headache.
before three days ago I was running Bionix and Tigers breath kernel. I tried to follow instructions to downgrade to stock and then to Gingerbread or higher. I have now made more the several attempts. All I can do is O|DIN to the stock image I have which complains that oit lacks the reset service.
Even trying to restore either of My CWM back ujps of Bionix fails.
I also have another interesting thing that when I attempt to install CWM from an update.zip I get screen goes black for a second then i see CWM running . It is as if it is running it instead of installing it.
The one image that I have that I can restore does have ROM manager that55 always reports a download error with installing CWM from there
Is there an image that I can install from ODIN that will get me Gingerbread or higher? ODIN seems to be my only hope.
And what of the market errors , do ya think my EFS is hammered again? before the issue was the electronic serial number (dont remember what its called) but the carrier stopped honoring the generic number it was producing. I do however recall last year that I could not get the market working and now I seem to have returned to that. I think it has much to do with the market version on Eclair.
would the vibrant be adequate to run XBMC beta at lest to test it?
Should I repartition from ODIN?
Is there a stock froyo image around at least that I can install from ODIN?
Thanks,
Mark
Yes you should check repartition when you use Odin to flash ROMs. There are froyo Odin images out there but I don't think there is a "true" stock 2.2 froyo image, only custom ones. I know there is a ROM uploaded by moped ryder that is as close as you will get to stock 2.2, fishman made an odin image of it. You can check it out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674519. I know for sure fishman uploads odin images with his 2.2 ROMS, they are far from stock but I love them. I've been running Axura resurrected 2.2 for months, its solid. You can check it out with this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787267, it has odin images. Just be sure to read first and follow directions.

If it was me, I would Odin back to stock JFD. There is a guide on YouTube by Eddie1west that I recommend.
Then just I would follow the guide to install Gingerbread boot loaders.
Then I would download and wipe/wipe cache/dalvik and flash a fresh Froyo ROM download. I use Bionix V fishmans with the Bali kernel. Then if your satisfied then stop. If not, download latest CM9 Nightly (ICS). Wipe/wipe cache/dalvik and flash the ROM and common files.
Since you've gone this far download latest Helly Bean all in one, wipe/wipe cache/dalvik and flash HB and the add on file.
Might as well right? I had lots of trouble flashing up to HB yesterday, and I had never had any issues before.. but if your looking to get to GB or beyond... I would follow the steps above. Could be overkill. But I tried about every other combination of flashes I could think of before Odining back and doing it that way.
