Ok so I am very new to all of this so please be nice. I have followed the proceedure to root my fascinate running gingerbread 2.3, which works great and was very easy so thank you to the developer, and now I don't know what to do with it.
I know someone will give me a happy reading post and that's fine cause I would like to learn alot more. Has anyone done anything else since the change to gingerbread?
Thanks all

I think you need to be more specific. What do you want to do with it? Theme, apps, customize?
With these powers you can now use it as a .... smartphone.

Are you aware if your on gingerbread anything you will mostly end up getting your sd card fried? Make an sd card backup.
Keep me Fascinated.
I guess it was a little vague. I am looking to customize or theme for the most part.
This is the stock gingerbread install from telus it best not fry my SD card.
Thanks again everyone

Well if its the ota from Telus your sd card will be alright.
Keep me Fascinated.
SD card issues have been fixed for a week or two, chillax.
OP, if you want to get the most out of your phone you should try either Vanilla Gingerbread or CM7 for performance and speed, or MIUI for customization and slickness. MIUI is also very fast.
The glitch kernel is the best in my opinion, it has great performance and battery life and everything. You'll want to get voodoo control and voltage control from the market to get the most out of the kernel.
sageDieu, thank you for the suggestions. I looked at a post for the MIUI and it looks really good I think I might try it.
Now for the Noob question,(yes I will search as well), is there a really detailed walk through as this will be my first time trying this and I would rather not destroy my phone.
Keep the suggestions coming and thak you again,
Bucky
Since you are on telus avoid any and ALL verizon wireless stuff.
good day.
OK so I downloaded this ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150045

It mentions verizon in the post so are you saying to stay away from this one?
Sorry guys I am really new to all this. If anyone has a suggestion to try with a really detailed walk through that will work for my phone that would be fantastic. Here are the details of my phone...
Model: SGH-T959D
Firmware: 2,3,3
Baseband version: T959TLKG2
Kernel Version: 2,6,35,7-T959TLKG2 sj0829,[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.LKG2
Stock install from Telus and rooted using the process posted here on XDA.
Thanks again I appreciate it!
That's why I posted what I did. The telus fascinate is a gsm band phone. The verizon fascinate is cdma. And I noticed other users are suggesting things that would lead to issues on a gsm phone. There are sprinkles of telus items within our (vzw) forum but on xda the telus fascinate does not have it's own dedicated forum. So you might try a google search for other telus items for your gsm fascinate.
good day.
Ok so does anyone have anything that will run on a telus gingerbread? There has to be something out there

Is it possible to have R2BA026 and 2.1?
My X10a is already a Rooted R2BA026, just wondering if I can upgrade to 2.1 too.

2.1 is an upgrade to 1.6, so it would most likely be better. Although, some people have not been liking it so much for some reason (lag, and sh*t like that). You should try it out for a week.. If you don't like it, you can always go back to 1.6.
But with 2.1, there are many more applications for you to enjoy on the market!
I would advice to stay with 2.1
The lag one experiences is only initial and within a day or two maximum the OS settles nicely and performs great. Many apps like LauncherPro, PowerAMP etc. are 2+ only so that's another incentive in favor of 2.1.
Additionally, you could implement JIT on it and squeeze 2x the CPU performance from it. Many apps benefit from it -- just let it do it's thing if you do implement it and don't be alarmed if it feels laggy [which it will] for a little while after that as it's rebuilding the caches. And be a tad careful with the amount of widgets and running apps you have with it simply because it'll directly impact performance. JIT memory requirements [pure RAM requirements] are high and it'll lag and/or restart if you put too many widgets on the homescreens or let too many unused apps run in the background.
The phone certainly feels faster with JIT, so that's definitely another [imo, big] incentive to enable JIT. Ultimately, it's up to you.
I've also been trying to upgrade to 2.1 but no success so far. Need some help. Pl read the details in the thread below:

What you mean is a Dual boot?
It may be possible since both are different OS systems.
But that may require cracking the boot loader.

Being a completly new OS what we've waited months for thanks to SE tinkering with it, again, what else did you expect, it to be no different to 1.6? Asking questions is one thing, asking questions with obvious answers is another.

The chances of something going wrong with JUST rooting your phone are very low. The only thing that can go wrong is if you are hardware locked and still attempt to root, then you can **** up your phone. So make sure you are NOT hardware locked. and you will be fine bro
* When i first started getting into the xda thing, i was right in your place. And the Vibrant Bible in the android dev section really helped me out. Just look at everything in there.
*If you are only rooted, then you will still get OTA's

Sorry guys for posting this, but I need some questions answered and there are a lot of answers. I just purchased a g tab from tigerdirect and it will be here soon. I wanted to know if I should update first or leave it as shipped before I install a rom.
I'm wanting to try out the new Gingerbread release from TJ, but Not sure of which ClockworkMod I should install. Also Is G Harmony Gingerbread the way to start, for a beginner?
Thanks again, I really appreciate all the help
I was going to follow these instructions but wasn't sure if this was the best course of action.
well since I'm new I can post it, but if you search, Gingerbread G Tablet and addictivetips, you can find it.
P.S. I'm going to video tape this, so I will post after I'm done.
Also....
Which ROM should I install? Which, in your opinion, is the most stable of all?
I guess my question is, should I install Cyanogen, TnT Lite, or GingerBread? And which version?
I don't think there is a 'right' answer, each rom has something good about it.
I'd start with TnTLite as it is the best supported and fixes a lot of issues that the stock rom comes with.
Go from there, if you're happy with TnT then use it for a while.
Start small I say, get some confidence then move to the more involved roms.
Thanks!
I really appreciate your fast response. I'm hoping that all will go well. Thanks again!

good luck. just take it slow and think about what you're doing. the device is pretty hard to totally brick so if you think you're stuck do some searching/reading/research.
This is a nub question I know, but I've been reading these forums for a while now that I got my Thunderbolt and I was just curious.. is there an easy 1 click root for Thunderbolt yet? like the universal Androot or somthing? I really want to root mine and put a stable GB rom on it, really liking the look of BAMF, but I'm very hesitant because I really dont' want to brick my phone, done it before and it was a pain in the BLEEP to recover it, course it was a Zio M6000 too LOL... Anyhow is there an easy root out there yet? and are any of the GB BAMF Roms stable enough to use the netflix APK on and not worry about brickign too much? I'm hesitant because I'm not overly wealthy or anything and I dont' want to brick my new phone I just dumped some cash on lol thanks!
New Info (Post mentioned below): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009969 (If you are going to use this, please make sure you understand what all it does: and "When in doubt, know your way out.")
Not that I'm aware of, however the root process documented in the stickies is very easy to follow, given that you have adb working on your computer. None of the GB roms are "stable" as they are all based off of a leaked sense rom, but that being said I've been running Gingeritis with very little problems.
If you really are interested in changing up your stock rom (and I would, the battery life out of the newer kernels by imoseyon is outstanding!) take a few minutes to read up and get ADB working on your machine. Once you are comfortable with that, download the stock RUU floating around here - You would have to screw up pretty badly to brick the phone, just follow the instructions. JCase and crew have done a very nice job with trying to be cautious with every step.
Also, not trying to be a prick but fair warning - posting questions in the dev forum is a no-no unless you are releasing something dev related, you'll likely get some not so nice responses for doing it. Good luck in learning!

There is no one click root, but it doesn't get much easier than captainkirks one click script. The most user action involved is putting the RUU's on the SD Card and hitting "y" for yes.

right about now....
seriously i know we all were noobs at one times but these types of questions get really annoying. seriously its NOT HARD AT ALL. i was really scared at first n when i actually took the time to read up on ADB, i was like duh its seems so damn easy. once i first rooted my Nexus One, it really was easy. the TB is just as easy. really stop taking the easy way. stop being lazy, take an hour out of each day to read up on ADB so u can root when youre ready. u WILL NEED to know about ADB. not everything here in the forums will be handed to u easily. u will need to pull files, edit them and what not. seriously these types of people need to stop being lazy and read up on some ADB. this is coming from a person who is so-so with this type of stuff. seriously, the manual way is NOT HARD AT ALL
and there are a few reports about TB bricking on GB but not so much to be overly scared about. im still playing it the safe way n sticking with BAMF Remix 1.7 for now til its more stable or til we get a lot more info on the brickings of TB on GB
I appreciate the information given here. I know that I'll always have to wade through a bit of criticism and flaming when you're learning and those who have done so I understand your frustration but be patient, not everyone has your understanding as yet of the systems and how they run. The most I have ever done with regards to rooting and roms is to use androot on my zio and install some launchers.. so manually playing with my phone's innards is a little daunting.
I will take your advice Jay and read up on ADB, while I don't like your attitude, I do understand it and thank you and others for the information you offer. I will look into all of these options and thank you all for your input
This is what I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005292
I came from the D1 and have a lot of experience with adb and was honestly just lazy when I rooted the TB. When I rooted my D1 there was no easy root and I did everything manually which was a huge help later on in (root) life. I highly suggest that you do it manually at least once. Then later when you're lazy like me you do an easy root.

Download both files. Rename the first MR1 RUU and put on the SD card. NOT in a folder. Power off/hold volume down and then press the power button. Follow the instructions on the screen. After its done reboot. Then, delete that file off the SD Card. Rename the second one and put where the first one was. Do the same thing again. You will be unrooted with S=on.

Don't let others get you down, I'm far from a NOOB yet still get called it because someone has to answer a question rather than ignore it even though its not a big deal. I rooted mine coming from a D1, I used the method here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616) it took about 30 mins and it was no big deal at all. I was on GB and then went back to Froyo since I have no problem waiting another month or so for something that would be more stable to come out.
Good luck with whatever way you go. ADB can be a pain in one way or another. There is an ADB for dummies that someone posted one click installs ADB and it works perfect I have been using that. The commands are easy so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

1st step: make sure what model Galaxy S2 you have (label under battery) as there are over a dozen different model phones called Galaxy S2. OG "Droid" is on Verizon, and Verizon doesn't carry ANY Galaxy S2 model. If you were on Verizon previously, that means you are in the US. If so, and you got a Galaxy S2 through a US carrier (ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile), I guarantee it is NOT the GT-I9100, which is the device this forum is for.
my phone is a gt-i9100. I live in alaska. I purchased it through a local phone company called GCI. I just feel overwhelmed with all the galaxy products out there. A little over saturated, but definitely a good phone. I just wanna root it like I did my Xoom and OG droid.

I had to ask. I'm in the US using a GT-I9100 as well, but the majority of US Galaxy S2 users are NOT on the GT-I9100.
You can root using a CF-Root kernel. Works perfectly fine, and installs CWM recovery for you as well. Just make sure to follow the instructions exactly.
Hey thanks. Honestly I like this phone so much I didn't really wanna root it, but my carrier will probably never officially support the ICS update and I miss having nandroid backups and tinkering around to get the most out of my phone. Thanks for the link.
No problem, but also please be aware of the forum rules. Rule #1 is to search before posting. Not everyone will be so generous.
I gotcha. Sorry for not searching as much as I could have. I have an issue, however. My kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579 and the tutorial mentions KG1. Also, there's about a million files posted throughout the thread and I have no idea which is supposed to be for my device. I'm sorry if I'm asking for a handout. I just wish rooting was simpler like on my old phone. I'm sorry, and thanks again/

There's a "Help! Which file do I use ?" section in that thread. Sounds like you read that, since you mention the tutorial that mentions KG1. So you should be able to figure out which one to use based on that. I bolded the important part of your kernel version.
Alright. I found the right file and I'm rooted successfully! is there anything I can do to get rid of the triangle that shows up when I first boot up my phone? I'm totally psyched! Now I gotta search for a good ICS rom. lol.

*sigh*... rule #1 again. This is a question that's been answered literally more times than I have posts. There are many ways.
EDIT: of course, if you flash an ICS ROM, chances are good you will have the triangle again, in which case, there is no point in getting rid of the triangle now.

Turn the phone upside down while it's booting or put some paper over it.
Ha ha. Funny indeed. I know I had better start following the rules, and the yellow triangle isnt exactly a concern. This thread should probably be deleted due to my ignorance. For what it's worth, I'm extremely grateful for the help I've received. Lastly, anyone here on ICS or have a personal preference on what build to download? I'm kinda worried because I love EOS ICS on my xoom but gingerbread is so well optimized and I'm sure some apps won't work once I make the upgrade. So many more apps are compatible on my phone and I'm weighing out the risks.

Hey guys. I had one more little issue I wanted some direction with. Do I need APN Backup & Restore before I update? Also, I don't have enough room on my phone for a complete nandroid. Is rogue recovery compatible with the SGS2 or is there a way to configure CWM recovery to write a backup to the external card? Everything else is pretty much within my grasp. A million apologies and thanks for all the n00bishness.

How can I see many guys tried to help you but you never press thanks button, first learn to press thanks button and use SEARCH button before asking something
Alright everyone. I'll be more respectful of the rules and give thanks when its due but I have a dilemma because Ice sandwich doesn't give access to apn settings like previous incarnations and I feel really lost and worried that I'll mess my mobile internet up if I'm not careful.I also tried to research about making a nandroid backup straight to my external card without results. if this is the wrong place to ask can someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks.
You're saying you can't edit APNs on an ICS ROM? That's weird. The guy in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554967) sure sounds like he could edit APNs on an ICS ROM.
No. Thats not what I meant. Ive only ever edited the apn of my old phone with apn backup and restore. Apps don't have access to apn settings in 3.0 and up from the research I've tried to do. I didn't know how else to edit them. My xoom is wifi and my og Droid never made it past gingerbread so this was never an issue in the past. What do you do when you update? Write everything down and key it in after the upgrade? I have no problem doing so. I was just asking if theres an easier option. My only other issue is figuring out how to make a nandroid backup straight to my external SD card. I'm unfamiliar with recovery kernals for Samsung phones and cwm recovery doesn't let you access your external card so I hoped for advice on a better one. If I can't ask for help with these things here then I promise i won't keep coming back until I have more worthy questions. I could've done a lot more research in the beginning. If its better for everyone ill just see what happens on my own and if I screw up I screw up.

Not what you meant? But your follow up statement here makes it sound like exactly what you meant. Not very clear here...
EDIT to add: I should say - what I linked above is ONLY relevant because I used him as an example of someone who was indicating it was possible to edit an APN on an ICS ROM. Which seems to contradict, and yet NOT contradict, what you were saying. See my confusion?

There are several apps in the play store that back up and restore APN settings. But you probably won't need them. If you do a reset to default in APN settings, it should query your carrier for their APN settings, and just work.

I can access my external sd with CWM just fine. You have to mount it first though.
