I hate to have to ask this, but it's been a while since I've modded my Fascinate. I just received a refurb'd replacement of my Fascinate that was running CR 2.1. The new one received the OTA update to ED05 2.2.2 today after I activated it.
I'm thinking about going to PoolParty or TSM Resurrection. It's been a while since I've done any of this, and I wasn't very active once I got the old one setup so I'm pretty rusty.
From what I gather if I want to go to Resurrection I should Odin PWGB (no modem?) first to get to EH09, Odin CWM (any version?), then the PW fix permissions, then TSM, and the new TKSGB kernel?
Should I stick to the ED05 radio, or is there a newer one that doesn't fry cards? Am I on the right track? Are the directions the same if I want to try PoolParty? Is one preferred over the other?
Thanks for your time.

the modem was never the reason for fried sd cards for one...ec09 modem gives the best data speeds, but tends to jump in and out of 1x. if you want tsm yes you must odin pwgb, odin cwm 2.5.x, then flash tsm in recovery.
pool party is mtd and requires cwm4 to flash...read the how to go from anything to vgb,cm7,miui guide in dev section.
Thanks for your input. I just odin'd PWGB without radio, so I'm still on ED05 for now. I have to leave for work, so I won't do TSM Res just yet. I see they're reporting reboot issues now with TSM Res. Is ED05 the current radio besides EC09 with the potential issue of jumping into 1x? Do I have to change the radio if I want to go to TSM Res?

yea roboots have been a problem on eh09 roms... ed05 is the most current readio but between that and ec09, ec09 gives better data speed. They both will jump in and out of 1x, but ed05 does it more imo...I think your location and signal area will determine which works best for you. No you dont have to change radios to go to tsm or any rom for that matter.

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. And, yes, I did search first. I am on SC 2.9.1 EB01 voodoo. I have not updated to the new kernel. I did flash the MMS patch. My problem is that I can not receive MMS. At least two people have sent me pictures via MMS, and I receive a message saying downloading but no pic. Haven't tried to send any. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance.
I know SC 2.9 required the DL09 modem, I assume 2.9.1 would require the same? I know my messaging didn't work properly in 2.9 until I flashed the DL09 modem. Then no more messaging quirks like you mentioned. On a side note my GPS performance also improved to.
Have you tried these? Adrylalyne has been up to his usual greatness, making stuff better for us. I am runnung SC 2.9.1V, eb16 rom, and eb01 kernal, with zero problems and heavy data, txt, and phone usage.

It appears that I have an almost identical set up to yours with SC 2.9.1 but I have not upgraded to the new EB16 kernel as the last one was a fail. Three separate people have sent me pictures by MMS, and none were successfully received. I today re-flashed the EB01_mms patch without success. SMS and email seem to be working fine.

What gave you the idea that SuperClean 2.9 requires the DL09 modem? That is most certainly NOT true. In fact, Adynalyne recommends NOT using the DL09 modem if I remember correctly. But, just pointing that out, that information is dead wrong. The recommended modem is EB01.
I Odined back to EB01 according to Adrynalyn's post, then reinstalled SC2.6 and pictures aarrived with mms. Same with 2.8 and 2.9.1. Adding Super Dark or Nitro Dark Eclipse theme resulted in inability to receive pix by mms. I tried all the variations, and this is the problem without a doubt. FWIW. Anyone else experience this?
I'm also having this problem. Odin'd to EB01 then flashed 2.6 to 2.9.1. The phone is working great but the inability to receive pictures is annoying. Is it necessary to go to 2.8 before 2.9 or something of the sort?

It is said in the thread you have to install 2.9 before 2.9.1.
Now that I do not have a theme installed, there appears to be no problem receiving pix via mms. My post is inaccurate - I went from Odin EB01 to SC2.6 then to 2.8, then 2.9 then 2.91. Sorry for the error. But mms works on all the SC ROMs I tried, as long as I did not flash a theme on top.
Unfortunately I can't post this question in the thread that the issue originated from but :
last night I was on com rom 2.0 with OTb1.6 kernel and ec01 radio. I did the ODIN flash to DL09 modem and then up to ED04. Had no issues at all. This morning I decided to take the plunge into gingerbread and used this thread here JT1134 CW7. I played around with this for a few hours and didn't seem to have any issues besides the known bugs. So then I decided to up to the newer rom by nemisis2all
Nothing seemed to have any issues in the orange CWM while applying the update
Now I have no signal.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Also is there a link anywhere for just the original kernel from JT1134 CM7 test build 06/09
EDIT: looking at the phone status is says baseband unknown. So I think I'm just going to wipe all and go back to the original 06/09 build byJT1134 unless anyone has just the kernell.
Thanks up front

You should try flashing a recent modem first to see if that resolves the problem. I am using EC01 just fine with the 6.09 build from the thread you linked. I have noticed on occasion mobile data will drop, but it seems toggling wifi fixes that (cannot say for sure). But I have not had any problems with voice signal.
It is still an alpha, so keep that in mind, but it has been working great for me.
with the ED04 modem, I did have the signal drop for a few moments earlier, but it seemed fine after reboot. and I have noticed that the mobile data does drop occasionally after being on Wifi for a period of time, but reboot seems to fix that too.
Ya i even just tried to flash all 3 times data, dalvik, cache and then install the CMW7 test 2 from JT again thinking it would jsut revert to the old kernel included in his and work again. But it is still no signal and no baseband version.

I probably should have read in a bit deeper, in order to flash to the ED04 modem I actually had to flash back to a touchwiz rom then flash over the DL09 and I used CWM 3.0.x to flash up to ED04. I had tried to do it in the orange CWM that came with CM7 test 2 and it failed multiple times. After I had gone back to DL09 and updated modem I just flashed CM7 back over and have not had much problem since other than data dropping.
I Just Odin the modem back to DL09 and then CWM Orange from DL09 to ED04 and working again. Thanks for the input guys.
Currently I am running Miui 9/16 with the latest Glitch V12 beta kernel and the EC09 radio. For the last 3 or 4 builds of Miui and the latest build of CM7 my Wifi and 3G connections constantly drop. It usually requires a reboot or if i'm lucky placing the phone in airplane mode for a little might make 3G come back on. I've flashed back to stock twice and before I flash anything I wipe Data, cache, and dalvik at least 3 times. This is really rendering the AOSP builds unusable but I love them when they do work. Is anyone else having these issues with MIUI/CM7?
Thats been a common problem off and on with those roms...wich is why I stick with the ol trusty powerwashed 1.2 ed05, it just plain works.

Last time I messed with ED05 my SD card got fried. Is that still a common problem?

Miui, cm7, vgb were the roms frying sd cards. It ended up being a kernal issue. Never herd of any froyo rom eating a sd card. Not saying it didnt happen, but you would be one of the very few that happened too.
Sorry tried a few different roms and coming to wits end
Just wondering which of these is a good stable rom
Tried most recently cm7 and miui the ran good but GPS was wonky at best
Always had to reboot to use
Just wondering what would be a good rom with decent performance that GPS works with.

I think GPS works in Bionix, it is a 2.2 rom by team whiskey. I have never tried it.
I was using cm7 and miui, I liked both, smooth and fast, but minor issues like constant reboot required to get GPS to work. So I'm back on stock deodexed/rooted kb5. GPS works ok, but definitely better than on GB.

In my opinion it doesn't get any better than TeamWhiskey Bionix-v 1.3.1 with Tigers BLood Kernel.
I'm running that. TeamWhiskey has never failed me.
i was on RevolutionRom JVP (gingerbread) with clockworkmod recovery, and i TI Backup'd.... manually wiped data, cache, dalvik, and then installed the simply honey zip file from recovery, and it wiped for me automatically (which was expected) and now during its boot screen where it says "powered bay talon sh kernel", the phone simply goes into a bootloop.
so now my question is, how do i go back to bionix-v (froyo) from the gingerbreaded bootloop? would i have to odin back to stock or something?

If you didn't apply the Gingerbread bootloaders i think you can just ODIN to stock then flash. If you did to the Gingerbread bootloaders I think you have to ODIN the froyo bootloaders then Odin to stock.

NO GB bootloaders are backwards compatible. No need to flash froyo bootloaders.

it really depends on you. im on miui right now because i cant go without gingerbread, but i also liked bionix. it was extremely stable
ya, it's... im also on MIUI, as 2.3 is the only os with proper copy past.... its just hard to get past the hacked drivers....
as far as the gps, i picked up a bt-gps brick that gets 1m accuracy, i can sit up in the window and works great... cost me $20.
I did a complete wipe of my fascinate (on a Powerwashed 2.2 rom). I then installed TeamHacksung Build 2 (as advised by the AOKP folks). I then flashed AOKP build 37 (glitched).
Everything works great, except my phone seems to cut out a few seconds (or minutes) into a call. I can no longer hear the person or they can't hear me, even though the call is still connected. Do I need to flash a new radio? Or did I need to wipe after installing the TeamHacksung rom before flashing AOKP? I assumed since I wiped the Powerwashed 2.2 rom that my phone was ready to go.

Yes. From Droidstyle's guide...
Step 22: Long press power key, select reboot, select recovery, WIPE DATA, Install ICS zip from sd that you downloaded in step 20. then Install gapps zip from sd that you downloaded in step 21, Reboot!
Okay, I've wiped the phone about 5 times now following all directions and most of my calls still go silent 10 seconds in or so.....BAD NEWS!
I need to fix this ASAP! Should I go back to the last "milestone" build of AOKP, or are there other troubleshooting steps I can take?
have you started completely from scratch by going back to stock gingerbread, and followed all the instructions to the letter in the guide? What rom were you on before and did you have the same issue? Try another GB rom then try a different ics rom.

I was never on the stock GB rom. I went from stock Froyo to Powerwashed Froyo. I flashed a few different radios because I kept missing calls. I ended up on EC09.
Then I did the TeamHacksung -> AOKP 37 update. It looks like I am now on radio EC09 in AOKP 37. Would going to stock GB and then back really make a difference? Or should I try a different radio? Do I still need to flash radios through ODIN when I'm on an ICS build?
The ROMs do not include a radio. EC09 is what most people have the best luck with. Its also what I'm using with ICS. I'm running THS though, never have cared for AOKP, personal preference.
I have the least amount.of trouble flashing back to stock (personally use ED05), then going to whatever ROM want to run.
Have you tried switching to a different kernel?
You can flash whatever radio you want. There is a whole section here with all of the radio downloads. It is not really fair to say that most people use a certain radio as that is not true. People use the radio that works best for them. Try some of them out for yourself. I am using the ei20 radio if I recall and have non issues with that one.

So you went directly from a Froyo ROM to an ICS ROM without following the proper steps to get to ICS? That's definitely a no-no. You really should just follow all of the steps in droidstyle's guide for flashing an ICS ROM. I can almost guarantee you will see your issue with calls go away if you follow every step. It sounds like you are jumping all over the place and not starting at the beginning. That is just asking for issues.
