Hey folks
Well I have had my share of messups with my vzn fsc.
Things are settled now as I have been Ble to figure out the stuff.
So after trying superclen, evilfascination, and community rom I have come to the conclusion that personally (and no offence to no one) I like the stock roms more but without the samsung and verizon bloatware.
Could you great guyz suggest me the best debloated and all stock rom which is smooth to operate, has great battery life and doesnt hVe any known issues.
I would b highly thankful for the help, pl link me to the threads guyz.
Regards
UPDATE : guyz the kind suggestion given my dnoyeb here in the second post is really awesome and i suggest all should try this.

Install adryn's ed01 debloat/debing click here
Install imnuts -100 voodoo (or -50 or stock voltage) click here
Installed latest su zip pack (probably not needed) click here

Then rebooted back to recovery, which is now 3.x after installing imnuts, installed following:

That's exactly where I ended up before trying the miuiwiz rom... For some reason that I've yet to identify, I'm getting better battery life on miuiwiz. Launcher Pro, perhaps?

If you followed the steps by dnoyeb, then you are correctly set up on a debloated/deodexed ED01 ROM. Your baseband is the modem/radio and would not have changed after you followed Adrynalyne's post to get to ED01 quickly. You flashed imnuts' ED03 ODIN package which would have given you the stock ED03 ROM and kernel, but not the ED03 modem so you were still at ED01 modem which is fine. Then you followed dneyob's steps to flash the ED01 Debloated/Deodexed ROM which would have changed you to the ED01 build from ED03 build. For all intents and purposes ED01 and ED03 are the same thing. ED03 simply added in a fix for those people who could not receive the ED01 OTA update. The verizon and android both flashing at the same time is just an overlapping boot animation that happened because as I recall you could not do a complete data wipe/factory reset for fear of losing the verizon network while you are in India. So other than that little quirk of the overlapping boot animations, you should be exactly where you wanted to end up - a debloated ED01 ROM and with imnuts' -100mv kernel you should see better battery life if your phone can handle the undervolting.
Congrats!
i guess i did exactly as you have outlined,
i am now gonna caliberate the battery and will revert tomorrow about the backup and stuff
love ya

when i first was learning how to root and flash, the thread for the evilfascination rom taught me everything i know. it does a great job in describing the steps to root and then flash the rom. i personally stuck with the evil fascination because its been so stable from the getgo and i love the overall theme of it. I kept getting peculiar bugs with comrom that i did not know enough yet to try and fix.
I suggest you go to the fascinate android development forum, and read the evil fascination thread.
I updated my post on the first page with links incase anyone else was looking at a quick rundown with links on how to get to a fully rooted / debinged / debloated type setup quickly.
Thanks a bunch matey.
God bless.

if yes then someday i might also wanna try this out, coz as and when i use 3G my battery drains like hell with the debloated setup as well.
would appreciate some more suggestions.

Seems smooth so far. Anyone know a good app for debloating? I used one a while back that uninstalled it, but kept a backup, then you could go in a wipe from the backup if you like.
Titianium Backup
Or bloat freezer
I am using Bloat freezer and frooze them
On the other thread in the Dev section a couple of people on ED05 are having calls not ring and show a voicemail notification even though there was no voicemail left. Makes me glad I waited before flashing it, but then I haven't had many missed calls on ED04. I think I've had two and they were during a time when I was in an area with almost nonexistent signal.

The ones that I read
They only flashed the Radio That were still Missing Calls not the full Package
So that means the problem was not just in the Radio But also in the Kernel
I feel this is the best Stock OS that VZW & Samsung have for this Phone
one of the snappiest STOCK i have ever used.
no missed calls whatsoever , been using it for three days ;P
everything is working great.
Any tests with the GPS done?
I really hope this sticks but this fixed my GPS issue, full stock no gps aids, full just google maps and GPS!
Just wondeing how this update is working for everyone now that it is Offical
Is the radio alone available for flashing? Or do i need to flash the whole package?

I have the full ed05 odin package installed. I have had one voice mail w/ no missed call notification. It happened when I was passing a cell tower with full signal. Not to worried about it tho. Gps is a lot better than previous versions, and the phone is. A lot smoother now. I would say the full ed05 pacakage is a must for people wanting to stick with the stock rom!

I replied you in other thread... you flashed custom froyo ED01 kernel so you are no longer on full ED05 ROM/kernel and that's probably why you had missed call.

Yes i also agree , Ed05 modem alone is useless,
the missed call issue in earlier FROYO builds must have been ( most prolly ) due to the Kernel or may be a bug i the basic framework of the Rom.
so anyone wanting to get rid of the missed call issue should in fact flash the whole Ed05 package
later on you can flash any other modem, like i tried Ec09, worked good i must say, gave me slightly better data speed .
all in all i must say Vzn has for the first time done some good as far as the fassy is concerned, Ed05 is a great setup and i am loving it .
Thanks to pentafive for uploading the awesome LEAK and for the first time thankies to Vzn as well

I did flash the full ed05 package... Although in order to keep cwm and root I had to flash the modified stock kernal.tar. Here is what my phone shows
Hardware version: I500.04
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: S:i500.04 V.ED05
Kernal version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: SCH-I500.ED05
Edit* I went ahead and reflashed the ed05 package. After flashing I let it boot up, checked the kernal version and its the exact same as posted above? Anyway I flashed the cwm all.tar but not the stock kernal.tar, then I 3 finger salute to recovery, installed the su 2.3.6.x.zip and rebooted. After booting back up and verifying root, booted back into cwm and restored nandroid backup. I guess there was no need for the modified stock kernal for what Im doing because everything works the same. I was under the impression that the modified stock kernal needed to be flashed in order to keep the stock recovery from replacing cwm, but that was not the case in my situation.

I followed those instructions. First 12/8 is not longer available, or at least I couldn't find it anywhere under that thread. To make the long story short, I'm now sitting on Kernel version 2.6.35.7, Baseband I777UCKH7.
I used the 3/7 kernel from Entropy and flashed it with Mobile Odin Lite.
Wifi will still not stay on.
I do have clockwork recovery, (even Rom Manager Premium but I know not to use it) and haven't done anything with it.
Are there radio or modem drivers I need to flash or something?
Don't use ROM manager on this phone. It will break it.
As far as the main issue is concerned. You could always attempt a return to stock. There's forum topics with more detail in the adroid developement section.

The problem is 2.3.6 stock wifi gets broken when rooted. If you just wanted to root I believe you need to flash the 2.3.4 return to stock rooted file system package in the general sticky. If you don't want to stay stock just flash your new rom. I reccomend aokp 4.0.4 from the dev thread. Its bad ass. Either way your wifi will return once you flash the new rom. Flash it using cwm. Just read the return to stock thread all the info about the 2.3.6 wifi break is in there.

I've heard talk that you have to do a factory data wipe/reset in CWM after flashing a rooted kernel that includes CWM. Don't know why but it worked for me. You loose your stuff but you retain root and you get to use your wifi.
When that happened to me I wiped data, system, cache etc., then I flashed a rom from clockwork. That solved it for me.

Hi, I successfully flashed my T-mobile Vibrant about twelve months ago to a custom 2.2 Froyo rom (Trigger 3.2 Final). It's a great rom and EVERYTHING works. However lately I've read rave things said about newer roms such as ICS passion. It's been a while and I'm still a noobie at this so my question is:
What is the easiest way to get to ICS passion from my current custom Froyo rom ? Thanks ~ Chris
hi,
Its very easy to get ICS running on your vibe. There may be various ways to proceed. I ll give you what I did (AFTER failing for 5-6 times )
Odin back to stock (It may be not necessary. But I started from the beginning which is better AFAIK )
Then stored ICS ROM (ICZen which in my case) and update.zip (CWM) on internal SD
then flashed GB Bootloaders (It also may/ may not necessary. But I did it b/c I already had many failed attempts)
Then flashed CM7 first
After that flashed ICS on top of it
Worked at last for me
NOTE: Please read relevant instructions provided by ROMs b/c flashing one may differ from flashing another.
You can find more information if you run into problems in my thread [SOLVED]Cannot install ICS ROM--please HELP

You may just want to read this before flashing ICS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580902

^^^ Truth
And I would suggest staying away from Passion. It is based on 4.0.3 and there was a pretty significant code upgread when ICS went to 4.0.4.
IIRC, Passion is the last ROM that still uses 4.0.3 and is probably why it is dead now (but for some reason lives in infamy on YouTube and Google Search).
Haarsh's way works just fine but here is another method as another option too.
Thanks
Thanks for the replies. This is why I subscribed to the forum.
mmm... I see a few pitfalls ahead.
Background info from me is that I can't use Odin on my Linux computer. Never really got into Heimdall. I flashed my first rom by downloading the rom zip file and put it on my phone's internal sd card then let clockwork do the rest, ie nandroid backup and flash the rom from the update zip. I'd like to do the same again.
Ok, it's my understanding that anything above 2.2 needs the GB bootloader so the first step is to install that over my Trigger rom. I think Trigger would still run with the GB bootloader at that stage. Next download an update zip of a rom of my choice, put it on my phone's sd, then flash it with Clockwork.
Seems to me that should work or am I missing something I wonder ?
You can flash the GB bootloader. Its backward compatible so it will work with any ROM currently available.
Download the .zip of the ROM you want, and any Gapps if applicable. Then just follow the instructions on page 1 of the ROM (OP).
The usual would be Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik. Flash ROM, flash Gapps, restart. The instructions will tell you all you need to know.
If something goes wrong, give us a shout. That's what we're here for.

I have read through the forums and am hesitant to post, but I am stuck. I have rooted my Note II using Causal and following the tutorial after Verizon's first update.It worked great. I am not using a custom rom, but have the TRWP recovery, super user, busy box installed; I am certain that was part of the Casual Root (thank you Adam). I have also updated Casual to NoYouVerizon, but realized that my phone is already rooted. I want to update to 4.1.2 and have read to not do so OTA. Would someone please either provide a link or directions on how to update I did download the stock Root Odex - I605VRAMC3 on both my PC and my Note II, but have no idea what to do with it.
Thank you
I was in exact same scenario as you. I was rooted and was just using themes but the only way to get updated was to use a custom rom. I may be wrong but that was my way of updating. Since then I have flashed just about every rom out there that is touchwiz. Been happy with the Beans build 17.
Hope this helps!

The best way to do it would be to flash a rom through recovery, and only a rom made for flashing in recovery (ie a .zip, NOT a tar.md5).
You need to figure out which rom you want, download it, make sure the md5 checksum matches, and the flash the zip in your recovery.
There are quite a few choices for stock TW roms, and everyone had a favorite, but you have to decide which you would want and if you want any of the added features. Here are a few of the more popular stock roms that are the latest update from Big Red:
Stock Odex/Deodex:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108510
This is just the latest straight Verizon stock rom and you can choose the original odex or get the deodexed version if you want to theme your phone because having a deodexed room makes themeing easier and less glitchy.
Beans 17:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447
This is the latest Verizon stock rom with a few added tweak and it is themed to look like an AOSP rom.
CleanRom VZW SE 3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073390
This is the latest Verizon stock rom but it had been completely debloated and had an Aroma installer so you can choose what all you want to be present in the rom. It is different from CleanRom ACE. CleanRom ACE is the latest international Note 2 rom that had been modified to work on our phones, it usually has more updates and features than CleanRom VZW SE because CR VZW SE is the Verizon stock rom with very little added. All CleanRom roms have bloatware removed.
You also need to flash the latest radio along with your new rom if you want the newest radio that came with the VRAMC3 update, the radio will be the VRAMC3 one.

This is the latest Verizon stock rom with a few added tweak and it is themed to look like an AOSP rom.
CleanRom VZW SE 3.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073390
This is the latest Verizon stock rom but it had been completely debloated and had an Aroma installer so you can choose what all you want to be present in the rom. It is different from CleanRom ACE. CleanRom ACE is the latest international Note 2 rom that had been modified to work on our phones, it usually has more updates and features than CleanRom VZW SE because CR VZW SE is the Verizon stock rom with very little added. All CleanRom roms have bloatware removed.
You also need to flash the latest radio along with your new rom if you want the newest radio that came with the VRAMC3 update, the radio will be the VRAMC3 one.

Thank you - Can the ROM be flashed from a SD Card or does it have to be on the internal card. ?

Either or. Just navigate to the folder that it's in.

I generally move mine to my external SD because I like to wipe the entire internal memory when flashing to a competent different rom to get rid of all the filets and miscellaneous crap that I let accumulate so it'll be like a freshI new phone.
Then again I have a 64 GB micro SD card and keep several different releases of each rom I use along with all the recovery flashable kernels, radios, GAPPs, current version of TWRP and CWM, a couple previous releases of TWRP and CWM, miscellaneous mods, and various other flashable stuff.
Really its all up to you though. I like to keeo everything perfectly arranged in its own folder in my external and leave the internal for apps, if you want evening on your internal you can do that too!
Just remember if you choose to wipe your internal memory before flagging like I do then itll delete EVERYTHING on your internal SD card so you'll need to back up your media (pictures, videos, and music) because itll be deleted. You don't have to wipe your internal memory and it won't hurt anything if you choose to wipe it or if your choose not to hurt anything, it's completely up to you!

Thank you
Thank you, you have been a great help. I was able to flash Scotts Rom CleanRomAce last night and worked without a hitch. I assume, from what I have read, that I can flash any Rom or updated Rom over this, when the time comes. Just curious, which one do you favor.
Thank you Again for taking the time to help me.

When an updated version of Cleanrom comes out you can dirty flash over the current version you are running, however I ALWAYS clean flash Cleanrom because usually the only reason Scott updates it is to fix an issue, rarely because there aren't many, and when a new version comes out. When a new version comes out I like to clean flash, and its recommended to clean flash BTW, because dirty flashing can lead to all kinds of bugs. As for AOSP it is generally recommended to clean flash because it is more lrone to bugs because its constantly updated. Whenever you flash a different rom though, like from Cleanrom to Beans or CR to anything else, you ALWAYS clean flash it.
Just in case you dont know what a clean flash and a dirty flash are:
Clean is when you do the wipes explained in the OP of every rom thread.
Dirty is when you flash a rom over your current one without wiping anything.
if I am going to use TW I am going to use Cleanrom, its just a personal preference. Some people love Beans because it is modded to look like AOSP, personally I would rather run AOSP. As for AOSP I prefer ParanoidAndroid (aka PA or AOSPA) and Vanilla RootBox (aka VRB or RB). I prefer VRB more than PA lately though because for me it seems more stable at the current time, when HALO is finally released for PA I will most definitely test it out and may switch back until VRB kangs it. Really you should run any that tickle your fancy out and see what you think of them before deciding on just one.

Okay - Maybe you can help me one more time...So I dirty flashed over CleanRom ACE to try Beans17. I didn't like it and flashed back to ACE. Everything was working fine until I realized ACE doesn't support Verizon Visual VM. No real big deal, but I use it regularly. So II was going to flash to CLeanRom SE and when I went to do so, I soft bricked my phone (Triangle of Death). I read through the threads and read Adams post to flash back to stock using Odin (downloaded the correct pit file and tar, but Odin will not recognize the device. I tried new cables, ports and installed the latest Samsung USB drivers. Am I stuck taking it to Verizon?

Not yet you aren't, you don't take it to them until its a last resort. this is just a driver issue.
Thats also why I said you needed to clean flash different roms, if you were updating from Cleanrom ACE 4.9 for 5.0 a dirty flash would be acceptable but if you experienced bugs you would have had to go back and clean flash before you could report those bugs and get help from the guys in the CR thread. When flashing completely different roms you ALWAYS clean flash.
Did you put the phone in download mode before connecting to Odin? What OS is your computer on? Do you have both the drivers from droidstyles guide and Kies installed?
I will help you with the driver issue as much as i can but you should really really really create a new thread in the Q&A section about this so it will get more views and maybe Hopesrequiem, droidstyle, and some of the other members who trouble shoot the driver issues can help. You should title it something like Odin driver issue with a soft brick, they'll need to know what OS youre using, what version of Odin you're using, and a lot of other stuff. Before you do that though I have a thread I am going to link in my next post here and I want you to read it and do what it says.

Here is the link I said I would post, read the OP and do what he did and see if that fixes your issue with Odin not seeing your phone.

Also remember when youre using Odin to put your phone into Download Mode and to launch Odin before you plug your phone in.
