Anyone happen to know, or even a guess why telus would remove the GB update from their site. I've read about people have various problems with the updating, but from what I read, those problems were PC related.
Mine worked just fine.
I also have a question... is it possible to dump a stock rom and/or radio and/or kernel without having root?
Thx
Maniac
Can anyone confirm if this is true?
That is sort of strange. Im glad I was able to get it in time. And rooted too
People were losing SD cards on telus also.

Can anyone tell me how I can rip the rom, cause I've tried the method found on these forums for the fascinate for froyo, but when I tried to odin it back it didn't work.
So right now I'm almost afraid to shut the phone off just in case I can't boot and I have no way to get it back to stock GB.
Mainly what I want to do is make a factory image that I can put somewhere for others to download it. Cause I want to try some things but I can't until telus puts the update up again.

I think Telus was getting all kinds of questions on when it would be available when they had no control over it - so they made a generic upgrade page.
I just tried with Kies and I got GingerBread BUT I'm also staring a long time at a galaxy S screen - lost my clockwork mod recovery as well (back to stock 3E).
Hmmmm - anyone know if this update is still available online somewhere as I have no OTA to get it and of course as the thread says... TELUS has pulled it.

I'm pretty sure to upgrade through the Samsung Kies software, you will have to remove any mods / hacks that you made to your phone.
Best option probably is to flash everything back to Stock, which I did. Then had no problem updating via Kies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
Alright I'll give that a shot tonight, the only 'mod' I have done would be rooting the phone - other than that it is stock at this time.
I guess the one thing I really shouldve mentioned in my first reply is I have the Fascinate 4G with TELUS, is the update specific to the 3G+?

Oh wait! If you have the Fascinate 4G+ (T959P) then you may not want to flash everything back to 2.2.
I'm not 100% sure that it may work with 4G Fascinate.
Can anyone validate the following steps will work on his Fascinate 4G+ ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
They are different phones. If you could get the 3G+ file to flash at all (which I doubt), it would almost certainly semi brick the phone. There is an update section on telus website for fascinate 4G (just below the 3G+ entry) (no update available today). When you see the update available there, you're good to go.
I have the 4g and I won't flash anything made for the 3g. Two different phones. I remember reading a thread about people bricking the 4g while trying to put 3g stuff on it.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S (Showcase, CSpire Wireless) with Android 2.3.5.
My phone info is:
Hardware Version

Baseband Version

Kernal Version

I am wanting to completely root my phone and install a clean slate of Gingerbread on it.
I've tried Z4Root, (I was able to root my phone with it back in 2.1), and have also tried Super One Click.
Nothing works now that I have Gingerbread and I can't find anything TO work.
I am praying to the xda gods for their wisdom and knowledge to help me with this problem! I have been at this since 9AM, it is 2PM. What can I do??
i dont use sgs, but i do know cfroot kernel or any other kernel based on cfroot can help u out.

JollyRogersOne I have the same problem If you find a way please let me know.
Same Problem
If anyone comes up wit a good link or video that will be very helpful
I have this same phone and took a look at the links in the second post. However the kernel numbers don't seem to be following the same format as the links in the thread.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this kernel on the c spire galaxy s showcase?
I tried Odin3 and it messed up my phone and I had to go get a new one.
I'm also looking for help on this as well.
SuperOneClick
I'm having the same issues. I have tried SuperOneClick and it stops on step 6.
I'm having the same problem too after updating to 2.3.5. Super one click freezes on step 6.
Same issue with my CSpire SGS running 2.3.5. I do think that speed and battery life are improved over 2.2, but I miss my root.

Did you guys do the official update with Kies? Send me a PM for a way to get a rooted ROM on your Showcase.
I did so the official update from C Spire. I'm not interested in a custom rom I just want to root my phone so I can use wifi tether with my galaxy tab again.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've ran several custom roms on my phone, but would like the option to just run stock with root so I can remove all of the bloatware from CSpire.
I've also had various issues with some other roms, ranging from no auto-rotate to glitchy in-call audio.

I'm thinking on installing NottachTrix4G on my ATT Atrix. It's currently rooted, and unlocked, running 4.5.91.
I can't seem to find any reviews or recommendations for NottachTrix4G.
Can anyone comment on their experience with it, if you already have it? Also, is there an install guide somewhere?
Thanks
Welcome to the forums! Read the actual thread for Nottachtrix. The developer is very much so respected, and has a huge number of fans that use his ROM, your best bet is to just give it a shot and use it for a day or two to see if you like it. Don't forget to nandroid back up your current setup before wiping anything that way you you can very easily switch back if you are dissatisfied. All it takes is a SEARCH, figured I would be the nice one before you get flamed with a million "Use search!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" replys
Info
There is some info about Nottach Trix on here:

and here:

Also if you used and liked Darkside and/or Wet Dream you are 95% likely to enjoy Nottach Trix.

I moved from Wet Dream to Nottachtrix. So far, I've found the rom to be completely solid, all features working as advertised and without glitches on my end. At whatever point he releases his compatible ICS theme, I'll be a very happy camper.
About the most painless way to get up to 4.5.141, I'd say!
Is 1.2.3 the most current Version?
And Sheepacurious, what state were you at before?
unlocked BL?
Rooted?
4.5.93?

Unlocked bootloader, rooted, the dev post says Wet Dream was 4.5.140. Had to back up apps and SMS data, obviously, but you don't have to "get your phone back to stock" in order to flash this rom -- just make a nandroid backup and give it a shot.
as an international user (UK) do I need the ramfix.zip too.
The mods havent approved my login on the site, could anyone care to attach the file?
Many thanks

You will need the ramfix and you will be approved when Nottach gets round to it, so please don't be impatient.

Its very nice rom the wayt it comes and you can choose what you want to add or remove its really great you should try it.
You can also go in and freeze more processes as well and right now man i got about 520 mb free and scoring around 6300 on antutu.
Its not like cm7 builds but you can use webtop and an alternative if you want to stack stock mainly for me its because i use my webtop.
try it it's pretty cool
I thought wet dream was awesome, this ROM is even better. I just downloaded it today and no complaints.
+1 for you to download.

Previous State
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.4/4.5.91, Alien ROM
I accidentally hit the update option when it popped up on the screen instead of hitting later. Then I the wifi off on my phone and that prevented the update from being downloaded. I tried to do a couple of things to prevent it from downloading
1. Freezing Upgrader 2.3.4 using TiBu - This did not work.
2. Using CWM - Cleared cache etc and this did not do the trick either.
So, I finally gave up and used UncleCemka's guide to upgrade to 4.5.141 (2.3.6) and it was successful.
So, present state
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.6/4.5.141, Stock.
Can I flash NottachTrix4G? The thing I miss the most is the WebTop over HDMI

Yes. It'll work fine. It doesn't mess with the webtop partition, so you'll need to re-do the HDMI exploit or flash the 2.3.6 webtop fruitcake which has that fix worked in.

Here you go. It's the Fruitcakes thread over in the dev forum.
now: you took the OTA update, which I'm pretty sure updated your webtop as well. The webtop fruitcake says 4.5.140; this may or may not be precisely the same version as your current one. With that in mind, I might try redoing the webtop-over-HDMI hack first since it's a pretty simple procedure and keeps your current version intact.
Finally
When I woke up, I read on the notification that it was downloading update...
Something over 200MB and it installed very easily.
All over my wifi connection at home.
Just gonna mess around with it before going to work....

Waiting to try the Rogers ICS when I get home. Looking forward to a hybrid/tablet ROM where we can use our Samsung native S-Pen apps and widgets.
I upgraded my co-worker's Note to Electron's UCLF6 stock rom just a week ago.
CWM'd back to stock, had to CWM flash the stock GB Rogers modem in order to get the upgrade to register.
He's wasting his data doing the upgrade now. Luckily it's only 251MB.
Maybe I'll hitup a Timmy's or Mc'D's at lunch and upgrade to Rogers ICS.

My OTA update failed with rooted phone and CWM. I used Kies(after it updated) and upgraded OK, losing root of course. On Rogers.

No soup for me so far
I have a Rogers I717R, unlocked and rooted via the Odin method and am on Bell LTE and flashed with a Bell radio.
I have clicked on "Update" numerous times now, but it keeps coming back to me with "No update available"...is it because I'm rooted with CWM and running a Bell radio on the Rogers firmware?
I downloaded and installed Kies, but it says that my device doesn't support firmware updates via Kies or something to that effect... ;-(
I don't mind losing root (have to use that POS GOOD for Enterprise software for work), but I'm not sure what the issue is here or how best to address it. Do I have to reflash the original, untouched Rogers I717R firmware and radio via Odin to get the ICS update?
Thanks,

May I ask where you got the "stock" Rogers CWM modem to flash? None of the links that I have found so far through searching through the forums are still valid
Do you think I have to flash back to stock Rogers firmware and if I do, will I lose all my data? That would be a bummer...

Probably a stupid question, but *how* did you use Kies to update? I get the prompt about "device is not supported for updates" or something to that effect in Kies
Update: nevermind, I found a CWM flashable Rogers modem and this time when I fired up Kies, it prompted me with an update to firmware.
I had to do this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657262
Followed those steps to get mine to successfully update OTA.
Guess with the custom roms something got screwed up.
I had to roll back to the original gingerbread Roger rom. When this was done the update happened flawlessly.
Once rooted it works like a charm.

Thats the correct app drawer for official ics. It just looks like that that due to touchwiz. If you dont like it then use a different launcher.

And the ROM that I used, Is the one that is on here now that I cannot get it off. It is a Marshmallow 6.0.1. I found posted in here too. If this helps, the emojis are not the flat minimalist looking ones, like Twitter uses. They are very round raised embossed kind of shiny and cartoon-ish looking. I have went to a post in here with all the firmwares listed, I went to samsung update and to sammobile. I have gotten different builds for my model of phone. And nothing this will not get off. I have tried to restore it back to stock and no it will not? Why can't I get this rom off my phone? :crying:Can anyone help me. I feel like I am crazy. But I can assure you this is the truth!
