You should look through the threads and find which rom you want and download it. Then put it on your SD card.

Well I'm 4 days in as a Samsung Fascinate owner.. rooted the phone and removed a bunch of apps that were not necessary.. what's next? Kernel? ROM? ... I'm coming from the Eris where it seemed to be a bit simpler, especially with Kernel selection.. I think there was online one... but what's my next step to get the most out of my new awesome phone?!?! THANKS!!

Google "Odin". Its a program, download it. You will need it. You have a PC right?

Oh yeah.. PC and the lot.. Not the first time rooting and custom ROMS .. just the first time for the Fascinate..and "Odin" .. is that the Open Disk Imager for Windows?

I think so. You will need Odin. Find the thread by GizmoDroid called "Erasing the clockworkmod confusion". It's under android development. In that thread you will find "cwm recovery all 3-30-fix. Download it. Have you downloaded your rom of choice yet and put it on your SD card?

If you can't find cwm recovery all 3-30-fix then find the one by times infinity. CWM3 Voodoo.tar and download it.

Yes, flash that with odin and then boot straight into recovery before you boot the phone normally. Let me know if you don't understand, I don't know how new you are to this.
I think I understand.. what the biggest difference so far is using ODIN to flash things.. Eris was much easier.. I'm going to read a bit more here before I ruin my new phone...
Currently I'm fighting a horrible Internet connection so I may be working from my phone a lot.. but I still haven't decided on a ROM... just unsure...

I'm all good now actually!! I dove right in and am installing ROMs ... Only question I have left is that I gained performance from completely formatting my SD card and installing the rom from there.. same here? Or if I format I will lose everything??
I have found that when I am within CWM ... when I mount the USB it comes up as a CD-ROM and does not allow me to copy/paste or format.. is there a fix for this or should I try and start over??

Ok ima start by saying ive looked and searched and now im more lost than before i started... lol Ive flashed my cappy a bunch but i was waiting for gingerbread on my atrix, and now im so far behind on whats going on i dont know where to start. Was gonna start with cwm but then read some and thought i needed to root first, started that and now thought i need to unlock first. All i want is root and to flash roms. What order do i need to go in. Also not sure what cmw to use. Thanks in advance for anyhelp
You need to unlock the bootloader first, then install CWM, as for which version you should use it's tenfar's. After you've got that installed you'll be able to what you want.

Hello guys!
A few weeks ago I got my phone bricked while I was playing with some custom ROMs. I don't know exactly what happened, but after I flashed openOptimus One the phone became weird. At first time, I thought it was just me that didn't liked the ROM (which was true), so I decided to flash void.forever again.
I'm not saying that the brick reason were these ROMs, but just telling what happened. So, the phone became a nice brick when I tried to reflash void.forever. I've sent it to LG on 10/13, so it should be returning today or tomorrow (they took a lot of time to recieve the board to repair).
My question now is: what I shouldn't do to it doesn't become a brick again? I actually don't care about rooting, custom ROMs and all, and this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322663 caught my attention.
Any advices?
Thanks!

You don't have to part your card every time you flash a rom just wipe the sd-ext....you will burn out your card in a quick hurry

Hm... something tells me that my mistake was about cache or something. And what is the advantage on partitioning my SD? I've read about it in almost all ROMs, but never understood exactly what it is or for what it's for. Can someone point me?
Hm, no one to help me about that thing on moving apps to SD?

Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

To be honest, I really don't know, like I said I'm coming from BB and still trying to figure everything out. Here's the link that I downloaded the ROM from:
rootzwiki.com/topic/22134-sgh-i717uclc5-ice-cream-sandwich
If anyone has a link to a better ROM, I'm definitely open to try them out. I would just like to know how to fix the problem of not being able to install apps from the Play Store from my web browser.
You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

I've been using the app that's on my phone but EVERYTHING on my phone got wiped and it's a bit easier to multi-task on a computer than it is a phone, so it's more about comfort ability at the moment, but this is just one issue arising, how many other, and potentially more serious issues are going to arise?

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Him mentioning USB debugging immediately made me think he was speaking about side loading APKs.
If you're trying to install apps downloaded from sources other than the market, for future reference, you must check the "unknown sources" box under settings>security.

Flashing to 4.2 rom
If you want to take an easier jump into 4.2 rather than going through all the crap. Check out VegasRomeos shortcut Here. It works great and is simple.
