Can someone help me on whats the guide to unlock the phone and use it on different carrier, if possible. Does rooting the phone will unlock it or its just one step to it. I am new to this. Thankz
I was mean but I decided to edit and be nice...
The fascinate is a CDMA phone, and can only be flashed to Cricket to my knowledge.
It cannot be flashed to Sprint, AT&T, or T-mobile. Not possible.
Please search the forums before posting something like this.... It gets annoying to frequent isers answering the same questions all the time.
Also, watch this.
Let the flaming begin....
I think i peed a little in my pants laughing at the video!
Well Done sir!
Holy sheet that was funny!
It can be flashed to Boost Mobile also, if you want to go pre-paid.
If you want guides and how-to's use google...it's your friend

I need a link that I can download the pg05img.zip file that my thunderbolt had before the new ruu update. I think it was .6 or .0023 or something . My phone ran so much smoother with it. Also I was running the perfect storm v1.3 and had a kernel from ziggy .(1.7) that I cannot find now from his website. I have been looking forever and finally I thought id ask you freaks. Jk . Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Oh and don't tell me I should have searched because I did. I typed it in Google and searched on here. Didn't find any specific info due to the fact I didn't wanna lose root. I spent literally 6 hours rooting the bad boy the old fashion way adb drivers .

There's a radio thread in the development section. Has all the radios. Can't help you with the kernel.

You can't tell me which one I download? What do I do ask there?

So tell me what I paid 4 dollars 4 if I can't even post what I need help with in the correct thread. and you know what I'm talking about you could have just given me the link

You didn't search too hard did you. It's in the development section and it's title says RADIO on it. You will have to read pass the first post to know which one came with the phone. No, I won't be providing you with a link, just go to the development section. As for the stock kernel try flashing the debloated stock rom.

In here somewhere, shouldn't be too long to figure out.
As far as the kernel you'll have to ask or pm the dev since they don't have it explicitly posted.
Ok well I flashed the .6 LTE and cdma but when I check the software on my phone it says I have the .9 I am so confused
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
That is because you are comparing all the wrong numbers. From Adrynalyne himself...
1.12.606.6= release software. This is what you started with.
1.12.605.9= leaked software, but same radios as .6.
1.13.605.7= leaked software, latest, new CDMA and LTE radio. These are what people flashed in the RUU thread or Das BAMF.
Thes numbers are software release numbers. Not radio numbers. The baseband number, I believe, is the radio number. So, if you flashed this file, you have the new RUU with the old radio.
If you downloaded this file from the OP of the Radio thread, then you have the stock radio.
Lastly (for now), we have the 1.12.605.6 CDMA/LTE radio combo.

To read is your best bet. I have been a "lurker" on these boards for some time. I read and read some more until I understand. Believe me, it is not fun reading through a couple hundred pages for just one thread, but you would be surprised what you would learn by doing so.
And to be quite honest, asking questions such as this only serves to solidify the reason for the responses you get from the more senior members. If you have to ask questions like this, you had no business rooting or loading a new radio in the first place.
Good luck
Whatever I am not going to spend hours on here reading about a phone. I actually have a life and it is not spent on my phone . Thanks for the help. Maybe if you would explain the answer to the question I was asking I would understand. Instead of posting someone else's written material on here for me which I obviously read before . But whatever I flashed the wrong .zip file anyway and lost root thanks freaks

If you don't want to spend the time and learn about your phone then you don't need root
We won't spoon feed you here, you have to do somethings by yourself
Besides rooting the phone again is easy, as long as u didn't use a semi one click root

i have spend time to learn about this phone. I am just not familiar with the lingo. bro i have been from verizon (og droid) to at&t (aria) sprint (evo) and now back to Verizon only after having the samsung phone until the tbolt was out. I rooted every single one of those phones !!! i bricked the og droid and learned alot from that. havent bricked since. so don't tell me i don't spend time on here. you and alot of people on here spend more time complaining when you could be explaining. you would have saved a step in your last post had you just put the answer to my question. i build powerlines off helicopter skids for a living i don't have all day to spend on here "learning" the lingo. i just wanted simple help without you freaks getting your panties all bunched up because i apparently don't know what i am talking about. so if you cannot help me do not post back.
i am new to this website, as i have been finding all my information on google because i was afraid this would happen.
i rooted this phone having to install adb drivers on windows 7. do i just use shell command or whatever its called and push the files to the phone and make sure the md5sum is the same? all i was wanting to do was just go back before the leaked software. i was running the perfect storm 1.3 and ziggy mecha bfs kernel i think it was 1.7 but it was superfast. i live in los angeles and where i live i have full 4g all the time. now i lose 4g go to 3g then have to mess with it to get it back to 4g. that was until i lost root. so back to my question do i just push the files to the phone. i will have to fire up that old laptop again the only reason i used that one was because there wasnt a root guide for a mac back when the tb was released. is it easier on a mac fresh or on windows with the adb drivers and sdk already installed?

Do yourself a favor just get an iPhone and leave us geeks to our hours of reading and flashing since we have no lives.
I wouldn't have said that had you freaks have just got to the point and answered my question instead of complaining. I thought one of the reasons for this forum was to help people like me, but I guess not.

In the time it took you to insult everyone that can help you, you could have found the answer you were looking for. Just because there are people on here that have a vast knowledge about this and many other phones doesnt mean they have no life like someone who gets offended and calls the people that can help them "freaks". Next time you need assistance you might want to change your tact. Just my opinion.
So I just made the leap!!! What essentials do I need to know now that I'm here. I'm rooted my carrier is simple mobile and I haven't decided what radio to flash to get 4g service. Btw hi guys

Welcome! Read a thread before asking questions. Chances are someone might have already asked it. Developers work for free don't bash their work, if you don't like it don't use it. Beyond that enjoy your phone and what you can do with it. And don't, don't, DON'T flash anything for international note.

whats up good folks of the sgs3 thread!! So I was thinking about comming over to vzn via way of tmous and maybe picking up this phone. However I read on lots of places that the bootlaoder is locked. So here is my question, I havent found a hack yet to unlock the bootloader, so how is it that yall have unsecured kernels for the sgs3? Am I wrong to assume that the bootloader would not let custom kernels be fully installed? or does installing roms via odin get past the bootloader? forgive my ignorance ive had the g2x (then the hd2) for the longest time and havnt had to deal with locked bootloaders... anyone care to shed some light on me? Please and thank you.
I don't live in the US but apparently the Verizon bootloader is the only one that is locked. So don't go with them.
I had no idea the phone companies in America had such a ridiculous monopoly on the system over there, it's very foreign to me. I just got the international S3 from the UK.
Yea it does suck for sure. But yea I think your right. And that's been the whole consensus everywhere I read.. No sense in volunteering myself into a crappy position when the same phone is with tmous and unlocked and my contract is done. Ima call them on the morrow and see if they can give me a better deal.

Hello everyone. Sorry if this throws everything outta wack but i need some help. So my friend finally made the switch from apple to android and he got a fascinate. He had it flashed to cricket and everything works it just freezes up a lot because hes using a crappy froyo rom. I need to know if i root and install ics on it will that remove the carrier flash and switch it back to verizon? If so can anyone tell me how to root and install ics without removing the cricket service? If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching for days how to do it but i still cant find anything. Please help me restore my friends faith in the wonderful world that is android.

Hey, I'm having a similar problem as your friend did, but I'm kind of a noob and don't understand all the jargon yet. Did you get a clear answer to your question by following the thread that was posted by mezter?

I found out the hard way that there is some type of bug with the gps. when i try to get turn by turn directions it gets hung up while searching for signal. does anyone know if and how i can solve this problem? does anyone have any good ROM recommendations? i am not really a big ROM flasher, nor am i into theming or anything like that. to be honest the only reason i rooted my phone was bc my friend said it was a good thing to do so if anyone has any thoughts or advice on anything ive mentioned i would greatly appreciate it

Noob mistake. Use the search function before asking a question. Chances are you will find an answer to most questions you have.
GPS Status and Toolbox should help for the GPS
Beans ainec IMHO (there is a thread recommending, just need to search)

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.
OR
2. Reflash back to Stock or whatever ROM you have had a GPS lock on and establish a lock. Then nandroid flash back to whatever ROM you want (i.e. JediROM). Try to navigate- most likely it will work.
I would advise though, hitting the Crtl F key... :highfive:

Really the way some noobs are treated they are turned away from the community. I have been guilty of *****ing out noobs before as have most of us. It gets very old to answer these questions every day when people could have used the search function to find the answer.
On the same hand the reason some of the noobs dont even come to XDA and screw up their phones by using roms and rooting methods is because of the attitude here at XDA and the way noobs get treated. Im not saying every noob gets treated badly but when the first post tells them to search without trying to answer the question that gives a initial impression of an assholish community.

Very true, but you can choose to sort thru one sub forum at a time and that geta rid of the majority of the posts that dont apply to you. Of course most noobs are confused by the way XDA is set up, I was confused by it a bit when I joined but it was a bit more disorganized then than it is now.
The reason most of us get a little annoyed with noobs and repetitive posts is when there are 3 posts that are the same thing one right after another and there is an answer in one but they didnt bother to even look at the Q&A section before posting.
The worst part though is when there are posts in thr Development sections, when I joined there was no Q&A sub forums and I still had enough sense to not post in Development.
Those of us who do try to donate our time and answer questions for new members need to leave our attitudes at the door when we start helping them unless it is warranted, and there most definitely are times that attitude is warranted. They are there asking for help because they honestly dont know what to do or don't understand a process and they asked for help not attitudes for posting a question in the Help and Q&A Thread. Its really giving the sitenas a whole a bad name because of the attitudes that some members have towards noobs even when they follow all the rules and have legitimate questions. I hate saying that about XDA because I love the site so much but it's the honest truth.
