Been away from the Fascinate for a while
I am running stock, just rooted, 2.6.32.9 / EB01
I see all kinds of numbers in the development forums eb01,ec10, eh,.......
So someone please educate me on where i'm supposed to be as far as newest system
Thanks!
The latest stock release for our device is 2.3.5 eh03 gingerbread. The number you listed in your op is the kernel version. Eb01 is 2.2.1 froyo...
Jt1134 has ICS 4.0 released for our devices, but its not stock. Not sure what your looking for exactly, but i have a guide in the general section that has everything there you need to upgrade. Fyi if you want stock eh03, stay away from the ota update. Follow section 4 of my guide...hope this helps.

Hey guys. I would really love someone to shed some light on what's going on here.
My firmware version is 2.2.1
Baseband version is DL09
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
And build number is DL30
I'm running a super clean ROM I believe, but this week I would like to upgrade to the latest (fully stable) releases. I know there's a new modem and new kernels out. Can someone with experience point me in the right direction to get my phone up to the latest and greatest!
Thank you so much!
So I'm kinda new to the whole process, been hacking my fascinate for a month or two, but i'll share what i know, please anyone correct me if i'm wrong on any of this
*note* i assume as you say your an intermediate noob you should know how to flash kernels and roms with out any problems if not check out this tutorial:http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/08/complete-guide-how-to-flash-a-custom-rom-to-your-android-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/
As far as i can tell EB01 is the best kernel there is right now, most if not all of the CURRENT rom versions are at least using part of it, most are in conjunction with EB16 and EA15. so updating to that would be my first suggestion.
here is a voodoo version of EB01:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19137626/Android/eb01_voodoo.zip
next i have had good luck with Super Clean 2.9.1, here is some info about it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11900140#post11900140
as for finding a rom that fits your style and level the knoly way to know is to try them out. just make sure you backup a stable rom you know works before going on that adventure
good luck and i hope this helps
EDIT: go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897889. It will give you a more in depth explanation of everything you asked about and need/should know
Thanks for your reply man. EB01 seems to be the kernel for me. What about modem upgrading?
modem upgrading
a quote from the beginner's guide:
These updates also include a radio, which is the phone's programming that it uses to communicate with your cell service. Those are flashed via Odin, the same way you installed clockworkmod.
The Froyo EB01 update has it's own radio that needs to be flashed via Odin.
The version of your radio can also be verified in Settings > About Phone > "Baseband version"

my understanding is that when you flash the new EB01 release of Froyo it will upgrade that as well...i was looking for the original post here on xda but couldn't find it if i can find my file i will post it here for you to dl.
This is a very complete guide on how to get up to speed with EBO1.

It has links to kernals, radios (modems), and ROMS.
You may have to do some digging for things like red CWR and voodoo kernals. But this will take you step my step in updating your fascinate.
I upgraded my firmware today on my UK T-Mobile SGS2 today, but lost the root I had in the process. I was previously having a really annoying 'lag' that would make the whole phone jerky and unresponsive and that seems to have cleared up after this upgrade. I'm really keen to do the rooting properly this time... as I'm guessing it was a problem of incompatability that cuased the jerkyness problems I was experiencing before.
From the Chainfire rooting thread I see that there isn't a rooted kernel that is for KG2 and Android 2.3.3
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip - Is for 2.3.4
These files aren't labeled as being 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 - does anoyone know:
CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
If you were in my position, what would you root with?
My current phone details are:
Modellnummer:
GT-I9100
Android-Version:
2.3.3
Basisbandversion:
I9100BOKG1
Kernel-Version:
2.6.35.7-I9100BOKG2-CL255512

Thanks
If you are going to root then flash a custom Rom, then I wouldn't worry as the Rom will be based on 2.3.4 probably.
If you want to stay stock, then you could follow my route, CF-Root then flash VillainRom which is based on 2.3.4 and as close to stock as possible with a few tweaks to improve things such as battery life.
Hope this helps
Ideally I'l like to be able to get future official updates through Keis - and I would lose that if I switched to Villain rom right?
I also wondering if I'm going to flash a custom ROM, might I as well flash a more recent Samsung one like KH3? Looking at Villainrom it says there are problems with the stock browser and stock SMS.
Piecing together info from other threads I saw that someone said that you can flash a rooted kernel and then flash back your original unrooted kernel and it will stay rooted. Is this true? If so, perhaps I could flash a rooted kernel (either a 2.3.4 or a 2.3.3 for KG1 or KG3 (close to my rom), and then flash back my current KG2. Thing is, how do I get my current KG2 kernel off the device before I overwrite it with a rooted variant.
Sorry if my questions are a bit basic or confused. I'm still trying to get to grips with all this. Thanks for the patience!
1. Yes you will lose updates through Keis but the custom Roms are based on the most up to date anyway.
2. Don't think you can restore your kernel and keep root afaik busybox etc are baked into the kernel
3. Yes there is a lag problem, it is to do with odexing/deodexing (don't ask me) but there is a flashable fix if you search the thread. Villain Tweaks app should help with the SMS I think.
4. Find your firmware/kernel on Intratechs thread and download it and keep it safe. When you root you will replace the current kernel. If you need to go back then you can flash the original through odin.
Well, since it seems going with a full flash is the only way of rooting with my current officical setup, I'm gonna try KH3 and see how it goes. I'm quite relctant to get into custom romming because I don't normally have the time to deal with the inevitable problems (so I hear), but I do need to be rooted. Wish me luck! and thanks for your help.

Plus it can be many months later on Kies .

looking for stock kernel for uk t-mobile 2.3.3,can't seem to find it anywhere.can anyone help,have looked in development but shows old stock kernels.

Jiffage ?? Did you make it ??
After playing with the new Cyanagen mod for a few days I had a few problems and had to bring it back to stock from a great tutorial I found and have used 2 times.
I'm now at:
Firmware 2.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build: EB01
I've looked around and really like the MIUI rom put out by Espresso but there just seems to be a few quirks it needs to iron out and I'm thinking of putting on
[Rom]{10.18.11}[EI20] TSM Resurrection 1.0 (touchwiz4/tsm parts)
Looks great. But reading thru it a bit it says:
1. Must be on EH09 or EI20 already (can flash over EH09 with a data/wipe)
How do I go about prepping my phone to get it *THAT* ready for this rom?
I've already rooted again and installed CWM-ALL on the phone.
All the OTA updates have been done. I remember reading somewhere that EB01 wasn't an official build so some OTA updates would not come down for it.
So much help here, it's insane. I love you peoples.

Flash this in Odin:
http://www.mediafire.com/?c37loxth85zn2ti
Use the pit file to repartition (check repartition in Odin).
After that is on your phone you can flash TSM resurrection through CWM.
Next time ask your question in the Q&A section of this forum.
Thanks.
I'll make sure my next question goes into the Q&A forum. Darn, really thought I was in the right place. My bad.
P.S. Keep up the good work, man. This is awesome. BEST place for help and information.
Just brought an Att SGH 777 sgs2 and after hours upon hours of research, rooted my phone and installed unnamed ROM. My question is under ABout phone, you will see the KERNEL which is fine, that changes, but under android version it says 2.3.4.
From my understanding there is 2.3.6 so how do I change this? Does 2.3.6 come within the kernel I installed or ROM? Or do I have to dl the official 2.3.6 first then ROOT again and install the rom afterwards.
Your firmware is still 2.3.4 until you flash the latest leak (KK6). I wouldn't worry about flashing the leaks until ATT releases them officially due to random problems that every leak has in them.
ROM and firmware go hand in hand. It you flash the leaked 2.3.6 and then flash unnamed 1.3.2 or lower you are effectively flashing 2.3.4 back on. Until the rom dev builds a new rom from the newer firmware you are on the same firmware you were before.

thanks fellas
Similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/help/to-4-1-1-rooted-to-4-4-2-rooted-t3452315 I got my phone on the first release version (VRALJB) and unlocked & went with IMNUTS's Tweaked release up through 0906 (VRAM3C OTA based).
However, I noticed that the baseband still shows VRALJB. I'm assuming that this is the radio.
I know that to go to 4.4.2 "stock" I would need to flash the MJ9 radio but would I need to flash each of the preceeding ones as well?
Also, the thread mentioned above indicates to go to VRALL4 stock and then to a new ROM from there. Would I do that or go to a VRAMC3 stock or does it matter?
I forgot to mention that I'm also running PBJ kernel 0726.
