[Q] Now or Later? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on stock ea28. I was once rooted and all that good stuff but I went back to stock. Now that source is released(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036344) I really would really like to jump back into things. My question is should I wait for the 2.2 OTA or just start now?

Skip the OTA, just jump in. It cant hurt. Besides, flashing is quicker than the 10-15 minutes of dowloading the OTA.
Any combo of kernel and ROM here has worked for me.

Can you install this via CWM?

Are you asking if you can install the Source via CWM? It's not actually a ROM, it's the code. I guess you could compile it and then install it, but don't ask me how.

[Q] Extremely new and have a few questions

So I'm really new to custom ROMs and recoveries, and I have a few questions. I already flashed ClockworkMod, but if I want to get rid of it, is deleting the update.zip all I have to do? And if I were to make a backup and then flash a custom ROM, but decided to go back to my recovery, it would be exactly like it was before flashing the custom ROM, correct? I think that's about it, thanks for taking the time to read and answer.
First flash the correct kernel (2.1 or 2.2 ) of the one used for your backup. Then restore. Then delete update.zip
After that it will be how you had it

I think in this case doing you would also need to reset the phone and do a cache wipe as well then reboot and it would see as stock
So how would I get my hands on the stock kernel and flash it?

So I haven't had access to a computer the past few days, but how would I flash the stock kernel from the Bible thread? Is it just in an update.zip?

From your phones browser download the kernel. Once in recovery locate the kernal on your INTERNAL sd card and flash it like you would a rom. Hope that helps

[Q] Is there a way to install kernels by just using the phone?

[Q] My pc broke down lastnight and am not able to use adb. Is there a way to install kernels by just using the Thunderbolt?
If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it sooooo much. I'm just a basic user so I don't know much about installing kernels besides using adb.
Thanks in advance....

which kernel are you trying to install?
there is a new kernel, that you can flash through recovery, all the older kernels out there must be pushed through ADB.

I'm trying to install Adrynalyne's 2.6.32.21 [Latest Version 1.8] [Updated 3-29-2011]. I thought that all kernels had to be pushed by adb or installed threw amon_ra because of scripts. I'm glad these new kernels don't have to be pushed anymore. Thanks for help nosympathy!

Nope. Just install and go! As a heads up: It's usually preferable to make a backup using ClockworkMod Recovery/ROM Manager before installing anything.
Well I have a backup of my stock ROM already. Should I let it back up my custom ROM as well? Will that erase the stock backup?

yeah you should prob take a backup of your current setup. the whole idea is that anytime you install something, you should have a backup in case the install goes bad (rarely does though). having a backup of your stock ROM is fine in a last resort kinda way. but i'm sure you'd rather restore right back to your custom ROM should something happen.

2.1 -> 2.2 Error!

how's it going guys.
My Fascinate sometimes pops up with a blue/red screen saying that an update is available. Every time when I confirm it, it reboots but says it can't be completed because of an error or something. I rooted the phone, installed ClockworkMod and that's it. Erased all the unnecessary stock apps that comes with the phone. What's the problem?
You erased all the stock apps.
You have CWM.

yes I believe if you are running a rooted rom you cannot receive OTA updates.. however you can still do what was mentioned in the last post and use odin to put froyo on yourself, there's even debloated/deodexed packages so you don't have to do much work removing anything, but of course most of them will root your phone so still no OTA updates

Cant go back to miui or cyanogenmod. Any ideas?

I was running miui 1.7.1 and tried to flash the .3 update and went into a bootloop. I odin'd back to stock using the atlas pit and eclair stock image and checked the re-partition box. Everyrhing went fime but now i cant go back to miui or the gb cyanogen tests!!! I try to flash and it starts then says instalation aborted everytime. I love the aosp roms and want to go back to miui if possible. Can anyone help? Comrom is awesome but im hooked on the aosp roms. Any help or ideas are welcome. Please and thanks.

Which cwm are you using to try to flash miui again?

Tried flashing a few versioms. Starting with the original release up to the brand new one. And tried the 1st cyanogen and the last. Neither work. Same instalation aborted message.

My bad. Just realized what you asked. Im using red. The same one that installs with comrom 2.0. Do i need to switch to orange? And if so do you have a link possibly? Seems like i used red the 1st time to flash but maybe im having a stupid moment and forgot i switched to orange?

I can't seem to get the link to stick so go to jt1134's post on cm7 and in the first post at the bottom are 2 new cwm files...1 odin version and 1 zip file...these are to be used if having problems getting cm7 Or miui to install..if you don't have your pc handy download the zip file...flash it with your current cwm and then select reboot recovery and you will have the fixed one...then wipe data/cache/dalvik and try to install cm7 or miui...not sure what one you wanted to go to?

Pretty weird....but installing the new recovery isn't what actually did the trick. I did that, tried to flash and got the same error. Then was Finns try again and accidentally flashed the new otb kernel instead of cm7. Rebooted then said, what the hell, and tried cm7 and it worked. Thanks for all your help man. I really appreciate you taking the time to give advice!

Yeah, I tried flashing the "fixed" CWM as well and when I booted into it and tried to flash CM7, it gave me an error as well.
I ended up using CWM red (i believe) to start the install of CM7 and then that rebooted me into orange and did the install (if I recall correctly).
...all I remember is that it wasn't like my previous installs, and it wasn't like the steps that had been presented to me on the forums.
Yeah. Its odd. The 1st time I did it I did it from red cwm with no problems whatsoever. Then flashed my orb kernel afterwards. And from previous experience I always flash the rom 1st and then the kernel. But I'm just glad I'm back to aosp goodness for now. Lol. Don't care how I got there....just glad I'm there.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
yeah its weird. i had a heck of a time getting back to aosp also. something about juggling red and orange and wiping in between all flashes that finally got me back where i needed to be.

New to S4. Now what?

So I used to have a fully unlocked Dinc2 and I was able to pick ip this S4. Wow what a major difference. I stopped the auto update while in the store and obtained root. Now what do I need to do to keep root and not have the auto update ever happening again. Also I just put on cwm recovery nothing else. What needs to b done now? Am I able to flash any ROM/kernel here or are there restrictions? Thamks yall for the help. Looking forward to the great development that is gonna happen.

get titanium backup and freeze/backup+uninstall SDM that will keep updates from happening. (only for stock rom, once you install a rom it won't be a problem all roms have SDM disabled by default)
you can now flash any touchwiz rom however unless your cwm is loki'd you can't flash aosp roms (such as cyanogen mod, MIUI, aokp...)
so basically if you are not lokied you can flash only roms on the android development board if you ARE lokied you can flash those AND the ones in the ORIGINAL android development board.
