[Q] Vibrating at Samsung after flash try - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wanted to update rom, so I went through a lot of choices and decided on this one:
SuperClean by Adrynalyne
Followed instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798064
Thought I did everything correctly. After apply the updating and rebooting, I'm stuck at the Samsung Logo, with a pule vibrating. One vibe, pause, then two quick and just repeats over and over.
I tried searching but couldn't seem to find anything that helped.
My odin is Odin3 v1.83
my cwm-recovery's binary file is dated 3/30/2011
I was running VZW updated gingerbread 2.3.x (i think the x was .5)
Thanks for the help.

back on gingerbread
followed droidstyles steps to reset back to stock.
what did I do wrong in trying to update to the supreclean.
thanks

why are you wanting to flash an outdated rom that is no longer being developed? Imo flash aokp glitched b34 and dont look back...if your stuck on touchwiz then flash nitsuj17 superclean3 rom.

Isn't super frankenclean a froyo or maybe even late eclair rom? And you flashed it over gingerbread..................
First of all you probably have gingerbread bootloader and that isn't going to play nice with such an old build. Secondly it makes no sense to flash that version as frankebclean evolved into Superclean which is now on gingerbread itself.
Seriously, do some reading about the different versions of Android. If you want to install a number of popular apps you are going to need to be on at least froyo and increasingly at least gingerbread.

I didn't realize that it was an outdated rom.
I got reset back to stock and following droidstyles guide.
ended up using for now superclean 3 I think, just I didn't want to go back to stock.
I did realize I was on gingerbread before but just made the mistake on that first rom I tried.
thanks
Only problem I'm seeming to have now is with the wifi tether.
I went to the android wifi tether page, cannot post the link yet.
downloaded the last non-beta/experimental release (2.0.7)
installed, granted super user, start tethering, but don't see the SSID popup. Not on my other android phone (charge), my Kindle Fire, or My laptop. I tried a couple other wifi tethers (barnacle was one), but had the same result.
Should I have to update something else?
Thanks for the help guys.

go into device profile and set it to galaxy nexus cdma

Super clean 3.0 is a good choice if you want or need to stay close to stock. Geewis is also a good touchwiz rom.
If you start feeling adventurou and in the mood for an ice cream sandwich the aokp glitched builds are really something else as they will give you an additional 40mb or so of ram. On the ram star ed fascinate, that's a big deal.
Anyway best of luck in all future flashing.

[ROM][4/15/11]Blackhole[4.4]

Thanks to Adrynalyn and his mystery source, we now have a new Froyo drop: EC01. No more bastardized hybrids, this is a pure EC01 rom, Deodexed, Debinged, and given the Blackhole overhaul.
Features:
Includes the latest EC01 mods by Sbrissen (No Full Batt popup, Reboot options, Clock Options, Acc Batt., 6 Lockscreens, Music controls, AOSP Phone answer)
Lockscreen is now changed through the "LockScreen Settings" application.
Standalone version includes Gallery, Music Player, Video Player, Browser, Calendar, Calculator, etc.
At this point I don't believe there will be any more Rom Manager releases, but I will be working on the ACS release as soon as I can find some time.
This is a Clockworkmod 2.x (green or red) flash, if you have Clockworkmod 3.x installed (orange) check out this link for an odin file to restore Red Cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=556634&d=1301538947
Still having some problems with the neverending bootloop if you wipe /data so DON'T! If you're coming from stock or Superclean, or an older Blackhole rom there is no need. If you're coming from AOSP you should be fine too. If you're coming from Kaosinate or MIUI then you'll probably need to flash or odin back to stock before flashing this, but I haven't tested. After this rom is flashed do not wipe /data.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Now that all that's out of the way, enjoy the release of Blackhole 4.4!

That's what I wanted to hear!!! But, I need to know how to flash back to a previous version of CWM recovery via rom manager. I flashed the 3.0 before I knew the problems it would cause. What do I need to do to be able to snag Blackhole 4.3? Thanks for any help.

WHOA....I thought Blackhole was done. Been keeping an eye on the other forum and it was dead for almost a month.
Yeah, between my life and their host its been hard to find time for this, but I'm glad to be working on the fascinate again. As crappy as samsung is, at least they're not suing us (sony) or bricking our phones for using unauthorized software (3ds). As far as the clockwork revert, I'll have files and instructions in the linked post tomorrow.

It feels as though perhaps EB16 could be the last update for this phone. Do you think this phone will ever see Gingerbread? I haven't read this anywhere, just personal gut feeling. What is your take on this?

Ned a little more info.
Will this phone see Gingerbread from Samsung or the people that actually know how to program?
I think getting Froyo was a big step because it was sooooo much different than 2.1. Difference between 2.2 and higher arent as huge, and 2.2+ is based on 2.2, so chances are we'll get there someday, with or without the "official" label.

Hopefully there will be some really close version tracking since there's been such a flurry of software tweaks for this phone!!!
thanks devs for your efforts!! I was a blackhole fanatic when I rooted since the update portal was so easy!!
Sweet! I was wonder if 4.21 was the end of the line for Blackhole. Looking forward to your next release!
For those who aren't good at reading between the lines, sonofskywaker3 is trying to tell us that the Blackhole 4.3 rom is currently available for VIP members at the link in the OP.
Enjoy!
Thanks for a great rom!

Like chrisexv6 says, Official Gingerbread from Samsung? I doubt it. That being said if there ever is a Gingerbread Rom, official or not, based on the Touchwiz Framework I'll update Blackhole to it, However I have no plans to make a CM7 version, or an AOSP version, simply because I'm starting to have trouble finding time to work on things, and I don't want the current project to suffer like it did when I spent all my time trying to get a vibrant version working. I'm sticking with stock Rom Modification for the Fascinate.
However, Gingerbread Roms based on AOSP or CM will be available and stable because of the work of great devs like Kaos, JT, Adrynalyn, and others.

I am noticing that my signal strength is still as low as it would be with t-mobile as my service provider. Anyone know why these roms have worse antenna than the stock eb01 when we are using the same radio? I am a driver and my phone is dropping a lot of calls where it used to have full signal (like in my house). If anyone can help me fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Note:do not tell me to dial *228, I am not a noob.

If you have the red voodoo recovery as well as the rom manager 3.0 (orange) then you can download the addons for this from rom manager then press cancel when it prompts you for the install. Manually reboot into the red recovery and select install .zip from sd card/choose .zip/clockworkmod/androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/fascinate/ then find the corresponding downloaded file such as boot animation or app or theme and manually flash each, one at a time.
note: you do not need to reboot and start over after flashing each individual file. Flash all the files you want then reboot.

Back to stock but no TW?

I recently rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 32GB WiFi, tried to install BusyBox (from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtnYqAQa0ek&feature=channel_video_title) but it ended up screwing up my display on boot with all kinds of random colors making the thing useless.
So I went and returned to stock from here: http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/
This worked, then I went and checked for updates and it installed a ~11 MB file but it does not have touchwiz. Before I screwed my tablet up I did have touchwiz. What gives? I keep checking for updates but it says there's no updates. Why do I not have touchwiz?
I had this same problem and it forced me to have to put on someone's stock rom again when I really just want the REAL stock rom like I had never tried to hack my tablet. Is there anyone who can offer a walkthrough of how to do this process properly because as the original poster says, if you follow the link above, you end up not getting TW nor any further updates. If you follow the link above, the tablet ends up in a Google I/O tablet updates state and that's not what we want. We want our retail WIFI tablets back to fresh out of box status.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
I'm in the same boat. I unrooted my tab to send it in for repair. Now, it just says "No Update Available".
Yip I have the same problem thanks for bring this up to community hopefully someone can help us

There is no such thing as someones stock rom. Its either stock(not altered, not changed, untouched) or it isn't.
You can get stock roms either here at xda or on www.sampro.pl or www.samfirmware.com and flash with odin.

Flashing a rom from stock 2.1 eclair

Ok just got a vibrant from a friend at work and it was stuck with a phone to pc icon, think he uplugged it while trying to update it, anyway I put it in download mode and used odin to flash it back to stock 2.1 eclair, rooted it and put recovery on it. My question is can I flash a ics rom right from 2.1 or is there a step I need to do in between, dont have experience with flashing roms on this phone, I dont want to get stuck in a bootloop and start all over.

Woodrube has a guide up (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464423), and there are a few other threads on it.
Quick synopsis is to flash the Gingerbread bootloaders, ensure voodoo is disabled (shouldn't be there from what you've said you've done) but read through the guide. It's a lot easier than it used to be, but since you're significantly changing the filesystem it's better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks for the nod Kaiser.
Rob, if you have any questions, please ask. Best not to have a borked phone.

Really give a look at ICZen. I'm sure if you read enough around here you'll find that most people default to that when they aren't trying a new release.
Also keep in mind that kernels play a big role in the performance of ICS ROMs; a whole lot more than they did with Froyo, in my opinion. Devil and Sub-Zero are probably the best ones out from my experience.

improved Rom

I just updated my vibrant from stock froyo to stock gb via kies factory upgrade.
Here are specifics as is: firmware 2.3.6 baseband t959VUVKJ6 kernel 2.6.35.7-t959VUVKJ6-CL694130 build GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6
I went through hell today to root and unlock the sim of this phone as its my first day ever messing with android phones.
I was looking at the wiki for the t-959 roms, the "stable" one is barebones and the "cutting edge" one is CyanogenMod 7.2. Barebones pretty much hints you lose functionality and though the other is apparently great, it isn't "stable" and here and there you read a post here and there of someone having some kind of trouble with a feature that just might have worked with the factory rom.
I don't want to sacrifice factory functionality for a phone that looks good or is too modern for the vibrant to handle, I want a rom where I will have no issues whatsoever with things like mms, camera, ics, gps, wifi / 3g sip w & w/o bluetooth (w sipdroid), tethering, installing to sd, that has a promise of performing well for a good while and ideally for the rest of the life of the phone without having to possibly upgrade again.
It seems my best bet is to either just leave my phone as is or go with barebones and install apps as NEEDED, please help, you learn alot in the forum but also you run across soo many contradictions, alternatives and options that its too confusing and time consuming, really, I just want to do this once, quick and get it over with, bam bam bam, done and hopefully never have to mess with it again until it gets smashed or I loose it.
oh another thing, though this phone is rooted unless I insert an SD I can't browse ANY files, either via its ui or via usb... I have a captivate where I can see both sd internal and external via both ui and usb, I'm assuming its a rom issue that once I upgrade to any rom that will be solved.
Well cm7.2 is based on gingerbread which you said you have. It is pretty stable except for possible GPS and 911 issues. Cm9 is based on ICS, its also pretty stable but same possible issues. CM10 is based on jellybean, its in alpha build but considering its fairly stable except for same two issues. As far as looking at files, you need root browser or root explore. Just DL from market. I'm running Der Teufel's Hellybean cm10 ROM. Its really nice. But you said you want to set and forget....ICZen is a good ICS ROM. Its pretty stable and a lot more up to date than gingerbread.

Seeing that this is your first experience with Android, I would say that you need to make sure that you know what you are doing first before you start flashing anything. I am going to save you some serious heartache in just one minute.
First, Kies is notorious for HardBricking phones. Don't use it. You can use Odin or Heimdall to flash back to "stock" whenever you need to. Always good to do when flashing ROMs to have a clean base to start with. Google them and you will find what you need.
And now, here is where I am going to save you tons of trouble and the painstaking issues that WILL lie in your future. When I say that you need to know what you are doing before you start flashing, here is why. YOU DO NOT HAVE A VIBRANT, so don't flash any Vibrant ROMs to your phone. First we never got an official GB ROM, only Froyo. Second the builds that you put up there are to the SHG-T959V. That is the 4g version. Those ROMs won't work in the Vibrant and our ROMs won't work on theirs. Fortunately there is a forum for those and you will find whatever you need in there.
Good luck and be careful and above all read, read, read.
Hey wood, this is the second person I have seen stating they had stock GB on a vibrant. I thought it was weird. I figure if you are not sure what phone you have or what OS your running you shouldn't try to install custom ROM! Thanks for saving that guy!
drool on my chin from a mouth full of jellybeans
You survived kies. That is awesome. But hellybean is awesome.

Personally, I would skip any ICS roms entirely. The risk of getting the EU bug (dead internal memory) isn't worth it. Go straight to JB.

[Q] Requesting assistance with CWM recovery

Hey guys and gals (although I suspect mostly guys =|)
I have become a noob. A few years ago I was fully into this with flashing and modding scene with the Huawei ideos 8150 phones, done as a service on a local auction website, mostly as many found they were too slow.
After doing this for about 6 months I dropped it as I went into study, my pc has been formatted numerous times since and I can't for the life of me remember what the Android software is called that directly interacts with the linux subsystem on the phone/device.
Why? I now have a T-mobile Galaxy S Vibrant (SGH-T959) and i've been trying to get CyanogenMod 10.0 onto it.
I have rooted the phone thru SuperOneClick via pc (as Z4root would crash).
I have installed OCLF v2
Android system is curently Froyo 2.2 (krnl 2.6.32.9)
I am able to successfully flash the clockwork mod recovery but please see attachment View attachment 1636948
The phone automatically re-installs the default recovery apk's when the recovery menu is launched. Why?
I have taken a look at alternatives like heimdall and odin to flash the ROM but i'm not at all confident because I've never had a ROM fail to flash, so I'm in-experienced at recovery
I'd really appreciate your help on this - I've done research into why this might be happening, but those cases seemed to be unique down to other factors..
I am not familiar with OCLF v2???
Here is a guide with files etc. The issue you are having is because of froyo more specifically android recovery 3(e). The easiest thing to do IMO is Odin back to stock, that takes care of recovery issue, root again then use the update.zip from this guide.

Hey
OneClickLagFix v2 makes an external ext3 directory for swapfiles and prog access or somehting, it's pretty amazing and it sped up I/O via Quadrant by 1600 points making ythe phone so fast it can't complete the boot animation because it's already loaded
Thanks for that guide too, Imma work thru that one shortly
1) You mean the kernel?
2) Recovery doesn't use apks. It's a binary program that runs without the OS. Apks are used within the Android OS, for example being either apps or components like the status bar.

I ended up following a poorly written guide to mod my Vibrant from Android 2.3 to JFD using ODIN. Flashed update.zip which seemed to give me a temporary CWM recovery, next reboot it was back on stock. Tried again and the CWM recovery stuck.
Phone is currently running CyangogenMod 10.1 with gapps-jb-20121212-signed as is running amazingly well.
I realize that I've flashed a nightly build of 10.1 and using it as a daily driver was not recommended, but so far it's flawless with the expcetion that I haven't yet tested GPS and I haven't found how to get Google's own navigation software back. I'm a computer tech who often visits customers homes, so fairly important that it works

Most of the CM work comes from the Galaxy S-line work done by pawitp, and the work done by others in the CyanogenMod team and Gerrit.
You can get Maps from the Play Store.

Is there anything this forum doesn't have now ??
Few years ago when I was a frequent, there certainly wasn't this much info in one place - Will let you know how I get on - Althought I am in New Zealand so i'm wondering if this will even work.
