[Q] How to update to community Rom - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to go from superclean 2.9.2 to the community forum, but odin locked up and I had to recover to stock with Heimdall. Currently I have stock 2.2.1 with EB01. I have tried to Odin DL09 multiple times, with Odin 1.3 and 1.7 with no luck. How can i update from eb01 to ed01 so that I can flash the community rom....On another note how can I get CWM3 if I cant use Odin?

You can heimdal dl09, that's what is did and go from there. Or you can flash cwm and flash the ec01 radio. Lots of people are having luck with that one. Then flash comm rom after.

Help did MIUI V5 now Won't boot

I flashed MIUI V5 decided to go back to Froyo plain and can't get my phone to boot when ever I try to Odin EB16 tar I get stuck on FACTORYSF.
Try running an older Odin like DI01 or something and see if that works.
I didn't even know there was an EB16 Odin?
Try to odin an eb01 tar
You just got Tapatalk'd
EB16? I thought that was the Cell One fascinate? Although it would explain why odin isn't working

Remove clockwork recovery red

I need to remove cwr red so I can update my fascinate to ED04 from ED01. HOW do I do this easily?

Flash the stock kernel and CWM will go away
Can you tell me what the stock kernal is again and how to do that? Thank you.

Get the stock ed01 recovery, kernel, and Rom from the dev section. Push that in odin, boot up, and get ota for ed04. If your lookin for just the ed04 modem, there is a thread for the modems. You will have to get dl09 modem and work your way up from there.

I flashed just the kernel but it did not remove cwr. I dont want to lose my apps and data. Any ideas?

Odin back to stock....done
Will I lose all apps and data? Are you saying flash the full ed01 tar file , 400 mb file?

Unless you can find the stock recovery by itself, you'll have to go back to stock

Or you can do that
here is the link, its easy
use odin to flash DL09
then use CWR to go from DL09 to ED04
OR
you can CWR from ED01 to ED04 in one Shot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097355
I already have the ed04 modem flashed. I need my build to be ed04. The only way to get this is ny removing cwr and do an ota. Cwr will not let the update go through after it downloads, it says update failed when the phone reboots. It boots to cwr first and then goes through the other boot.

[Q] Atlas v2.2.pit causes constant recovery

Ok so I was in the process of trying to install CM7 from Superclean 2.9.2 and tried installing CM7 through CWM (red). Didn't work...so I tried installing the fixes for the recoveries in case it didn't work via Odin...
My phone stayed in the boot animation screen the whole way rebooting into the same animation...
So i flashed dl01 all in one to get it to stock...tried reading up and saw that I was supposed to re-partition with atlas v2.2.pit through odin in conjunction with a full stock app...
everytime I flash something with atlas 2.2 ...it always ends up booting into blue recovery with no way to boot into phone. I've tried the Stock DL09 and I've tried it with the dl01 all in one package...no cigar...
At one point I thought it worked and I saw the boot animation with the cyanogenmod logo...but it errored and kept booting into error in which I could only catch a glimpse of the words...some include "mount"
How can I fix this and be able to install Cyanogenmod 7? Please include step by step...I am aware that it is noob to ask such things, but I've tried searching and came up with solutions that didn't work for me.
Thank You
Did you have "re-partition" checked in Odin when using Atlas? Also, double check the MD5 on the .pit in case the download was corrupted.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Reflash that .pit file with a froyo odin file. EB01 or ED01 will work. Then boot up fully. Then flash the dl09 odin file by itself, no .pit then boot OTA and profit.........
Just a heads up. Dont flash a froyo .pit file with an eclair .tar file. Youll boot into recovery evertime.
Just do what I said and youll be good.
check the repartition box and odin the atlas file first(wait for "pass"message)
reset odin
put phone in download mode again
odin dlo9 or eb01 package (no repartition)
Quick caveat on going OTA from DL09: VZW's updates now skip ED01 entirely and go direct to ED04. Keep this in mind if you prefer ED01

That is true. But you prob want ec09 radio anyway. Best ive used...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
no ec09 radio for me anymore. I was running cm7 and decided to install ec09. Stuff started disappearing from my sd card (I mean like entire huge folders). I'm sticking with the EDs
Just re-read OP and noticed you asked for step-by-step. There are a few guides out there, but this one by kidserious is the most up-to-date one I've found and it has yet to give me a single issue: Hope this helps!
EDIT: When using the aforementioned guide, I have always used the DL09 .tar and cannot speak for the EB01 .tar. YMMV
I have been messing with my phone alot lately and have had a bunch of issues(not booting, boot loop, different colore recoveries). So I put together a little folder for myself that gets me back to ED01 TW Debloated and OTB 1.6 kernel. If you would like me to post it or send you the folder with everything you need I can. at work now so it wouldnt be till later tonight
So I've tried starting off with kidserious's way of returning to stock...and it seemed to have worked for me because I was able to see the logo with no problem booting into recovery (red).
But when I tried installing CM7 Test Build 10 via CWM, and it didn't work...it went into repeat boot (blue) and before it started doing that after I saw "Installation aborted"
I'm actually now at a stump of how to install CM7 now...
If your using the DI01 file in ODIN you dont need to have the .pit file. Its a full stock ODIN it already has it. If you flash that to eclair your fine.

I apologize, but I'm confused by this. It's my understanding that the .pit is necessary if you're coming from a Voodoo setup. Are you saying that the DL01 .tar reverts the file system to stock on its own? Not challenging you, per se, just making sure I understand properly.

You've got it right, thats the whole reason for using the atlas and repartition checked, it's to format everything back to rfs(non voodoo) from ext4.( voodoo) or in this case mtd
This it's especially important when coming from an mtd build..ie. Cm7 and going back to an old rfs or ext4 rom. I'm no dev, just a flash a holic but I think of it like this, voodoo is just a lag fix modification of our original rfs(non voodoo) format, while mtd is a completely different format so we no longer have the luxury of a recovery that supports this ability to enable and disable our lag fix (voodoo)...which your new mtd format doesn't support. I don't even think it is possible to make a recovery that will repartition your system in preparation to flash any rom format you want
Again I am no dev and this is how I think of it to make sure I take the appropriate steps...it's just my way of remembering what to do when flashing
This is why every time you want to go back from an mtd build you must repartition with the atlas 2.2 to re format your previous mtd format back to the original rfs
Everyone I've helped with issues going from mtd to rfs/ext4 or vice versa I always suggest
rfs (non voodoo)--->mtd
Odin the 3-30 fix all recovery...immediately boot to cwr
wipe everything and flash newest cm7...(I used the 7/4 build but I see it's no longer available but the newest one works too) and reboot
power button menu to recovery...flash gapps/mtd kernels/misc.zip files you may also have with out wiping and reboot.
odin desired radio...reboot.. done.
Mtd---> rfs/ext4
Odin vzw eb01 with atlas 2.2pit and repartition checked
Fully reboot...then pull batt.
Odin desired recovery..(I still use 3-30 fix all cwr).....immediately three finger boot to cwr wipe everything and flash new rom/kernel (voodoo our non voodoo)...reboot
Hasnt done me wrong yet...no fc...no boot loops just flash a holic goodness!

go to this thread, read about the files you need, flash back to stock. here
Then root, install CWR, follow part of odin heimdall guide on how to keep root on ed builds, then get jt's Cyanogen MTD, supposed to have install issues fixed. here
Hope this gets you what you are looking for.

Please help! I have tried this numerous times, and my phone just keeps booting into stock recovery. It won't let me get past it.
I originally tried the .pit file with dl09 (mistake - I know), and it started the recovery mess. Then I downloaded the "stock" rooted eb01 file (EB01_DXC.tar.md5), and flashed it with the .pit file (atlas v2.2) and re-partition checked.
I have no other clue what's going on. I was just trying to wipe completely fresh to be able to load the CM7 Espresso on my phone. I've been running old CM7's for a while with the glitch kernels.
Help, please - I've been without a phone for the past 2 days. A huge thanks to anyone that can help me out!
I only use the DL01 or the ED05 stock packages. I think you should try those. I restored my phone when I was running SuperClean w/Voodoo with the DL01 package, no pit file.
Here is a link to ED05

I'm scared that I've already messed something up by using the pit file, because I actually had the full dl01 file, and nothing. Not really sure what would be different about the ed05 file. I mean, I'm gonna try it, but does any one else have a suggestion? Thanks.

a pit file is a pit file, they are no different for eclair or froyo from my understanding. I have no problems odin dl09 w/ pit...I actually got that tip from the stickies on the galaxy s forums.
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/fascinate-rs-guides/2911-how-upgrade-cyanogenmod7.html
as you can see by reading the link alot, there are alot of different guides out there with different methods and I have tried them all... Thats why I created my own guide with pieces from all the other guides that I felt worked the best. My best advice to you is spend alot of time doing research and form your own opinion on what works best. DO NOT take one posters advice as it being the correct way because there is alot of misinformation on teh internet!!

[Q] CM7 Install

I've looked through several explanations of how to install CM7 and some instructed to use atlas v2.2.pit while others just flash straight to CWM4 for CM7. So do I need to odin EB01 with atlas v2.2 to repartition or just odin straight to cwm4, flash cm7, flash gapps/kernel? I'm currently on ED01 ComRom 2.1.
Sorry about the noob question I was about to go do the usual quick methods of flashing until I saw people using atlas v2.2 when going from another rom to cm7, I know its needed when going from cm7 to another.

No, the atlas 2.2 pit file comes into play when you want to go FROM cm7/miui/omfgb/omgb to another rom. Flashing cm7 is pretty standard business. Go to jt's cm7 thread and look at the bottom of the OP and download the linked cwm 4 files and use those. Wipe data/cache/dalvik and flash and enjoy.
thanks for the quick reply. knew it seemed pretty standard, I shouldn't have read up so much
