My phone is also rooted with "z4root"
I now want to breath some fresh life in to it. I am thinking about changing to a custom rom. But I am totally new to this, and doesn't want to end up with an bricked phone. What should I do first? I see there are many good guides, but I am not sure which I should take since my phone is so outdated. Does anybody got any suggestion?
Sorry if this is posted in wrong section.

That won't work. You have to change to the new baseband before you use CM9. Upgrade to 2.3.3 first, then flash the rom

using baseband fix is better thaan updating baseband and even if you want to upgrade basrband, kdz is not a good idea flashing new baseband through lgmdp is better.

Since I believe the rest of the posts are a bit too much for the beginner, I hope this post breaks it down. I'm bad at using the forum editing tools , so forgive me for bad editing.
First, your phone is old baseband. Old baseband means that the software used to access the sim card and make calls is old. It does not mean that they are no good ROMs for it. One of the most stable and up to date rom I found was OMGB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376344). But the bad news is that you cannot try any of the nightlies of CM9 or the deliciousness of ICS (Ice Cream Sandwhich).
This can be overcome by installing new baseband, which involves installing a new stock rom of Gingerbread. It is not as simple as flashing a zip so the easiest of the guides I found is this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301489). I personally recommend you upgrade to new baseband and let me know if you don't understand the process.
Here are some good ROMs for O1 is found.
AOKP (4.4) (New Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613712)
Mik_OS Rom (2.3.7) (Old Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354)
SlimGen v1.6.0 (2.3.7) (Old/New Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463495)
These are some of the few of the many great ones. I currently upgraded to new baseband and am rocking AOKP and so far, I'm speechless by the CM9 awesomeness. I hope I helped. Please click the thank you button if I helped.

Is it something wrong with my phone? Everytime I have tried to updated it, there is always an error. Its like my phone is connected, but not properly connected. I have tried to update it with lg's software on 4 different computers.
And when I choose mass-storage. I still dont find my device under "My computer". But when I plug it in to the computer, it gives the normal sound. And all the drivers are installed correctly

You are my last chance to fix my phone.
My computer can't see my phone (unknown device) i tried everything including reinstalling windows! and using Windows 7 / Windows XP, so it has to be my phone.
I can't use ODIN (my pc can't see my phone) which is my biggest problem.
Now I have ****ing CwM 3.0 so i can't even flash any rom only GB.
I couldn't even flash CwM 2.5 using CwM 3.0
I tried to flash Stock ED01 update.zip but failed coz of /system/build.prop.
I tried flashing many roms but failed because of CwM 3.0
Is there a way out?
how can i get rid of CwM3.0 using only MicroSD card reader?
can I reflash to Stock some how?
thanks everyone.

I dont know the total answer to the problem, but had a thought. Why dont you take the sd card out, put it in your computer, download commrom or evil fascination and flash that through CWM 3.0. If th gets you up and running, it may help with all your other issues and allow you to odin what you want.
There's no need to use aggressive language there, and you might have been better off posting I'm the Questions and Answers to avoid flaming. Have you installed the drivers for the Fascinate correctly?

Post this in the right section next time, we don't need more clutter in this section. Maybe you should be prepared for this to happen.
Comm romm or evil fascination are both supported by edify.

To the OP, did you install the Samsung drivers? Check the stickies for a link. Our phones don't play well with computers until they are installed. And use the 32 bit drivers. I have had way better luck with those.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I would say it might be you need the fascinate drivers. You said you reinstalled windows, but never mentioned reinstalling the drivers for the phone
Yeah i would try and reinstall the drivers, or try on a linux comp (where you dont need drivers and heimdall works). But you should be able to flash UKB (com rom) or EF using cwm3, with no problems, cuz i use cwm3 and i've flashed both. But your first move should be reinstall drivers and try again on win7.
http://adbdev.com/danknub/Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0_SCH-i500_Fascinate.msi
There's the drivers that work on my win7 comp.
Hope this helps.
I think OP has a broken usb port on his phone. Just from what he says in this thread and his other threads pertaining to this very issue. Example. So sounds like it is off to repair.
good day.

Thanks for that link. I am going to have a look at this.
Actually I don't think, that it's the bug with the /system wipe which is causing this problem, since everything else works fine.
But if I am going to reflash everything, I gonna give that a try
The device is fresh rooted - do I need a custom radio or other prerequisites, to run this rom?

Let's just hope, everything works fine this evening
Bad news
Just spent the last couple of hours installing everything once again:
- updated to latest recovery
- wiped everything (even wiped /system manually via adb)
- flashed cm7
- flashed gapps
- reboot
- flashed latest darktremor apps2sd
- restore apps and setup rom
everything worked fine again, but after playing around with it, the keys started to flash again, screen freezes and system crashes (for now without the black screen from first post) - I'm not able to obtain the systemlog, so I can't even get a direction.
Any further suggestions please?
Edit:
In the logcat i get this line every 3 seconds:
D - 1776 - WifiService - ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED pluggedType:2
Even if there is nothing plugged in - but only when wifi is turned on.
But the device also crashes, if wifi is not activated
I got exactly the same error screen from the first page this morning again
Another thing I noticed: The battery behaviour is very strange. I had 100% - crashed after 10 min -> 19% after reboot - but counting slowly up again. Now I am @ 46%.
edit2:
After removing app2sd and fix connection issues for gapps, everything went fine for a while. But once again: error screen appears >.<
I am going to flash .void now - and hope the issues were rom-based and not an error in the device
Hello,
Could you pls help a noob with a rooting problem? I attempted to root my ICS AT&T Galaxy Note i-717 using Odin3 v 1.85 and a pda.tar file. Prior to that, I had checked and confirmed the USB drivers are installed (I have Kies software installed on the PC. However, folliwing the succesful flash of pda.tar I got the phone stuck at the Samsung screen. I could still get to the download screen. However, the phone would not go pass that screen. Can you pls tell me what I did wrong/guide me w simple steps on how to fix the phone and finish the root? I have the read many different root treads but I find them confusing. Treads are ponting at different files to be frashed/installed on the phone. Thanks very much.
This happens from time to time...don't worry.
Reboot phone in download mode, connect phone, reflash kernel.
A few things: use stock samsung cable. Use back of computer usb port. Reboot computer before you try again. Re download the kernel to be sure your file is not corrupted. Make sure phone battery is more than 80%.

Updated to ATT stock ICS update a few months ago. Everything workin fine.
Wanted to root it so I could back everything up not to lose anything when moving to JB.
Rooted by flashing Da_G's pda.tar, reboot, and then flashed 2.3.3.0 TWRP
Noticed it was stuck at Samsung.
Here's where I'm kickin myself because I should have backed it up before all this, but I waited because I figured root doesn't wipe data!
Entered TWRP, backed up.
Now what I've tried to fix it... and failed
1. Reflashed pda.tar about 5 times
2. Found a stock pda "pda-odin-att-stock.tar", flashed (fixed) but it's stock setup and contacts and other google services don't work, lost homescreen icon placement and all other settings.
3. TWRP: Restore all = stuck at Samsung again
4. Repeat 2 and Restore only System
5. Repeat 2 and Restore only Data
6. Repeat 2 and flash pda.tar = boots, but same thing with it all stock, so I restore and it's stuck again.
It's my wife's phone and she has contacts that aren't saved in Google, to-do lists saved in app data files, and to be honest, she said everything better be exactly the same after updating (which I promised it would be since the plan was to root, backup, update, and restore), so I'm kinda trying to save my hide. PLEASE HELP me save my ass ha!
Other things to note: I just rooted a new phone about 30mins prior with the exact same root and TWRP files and it went very smooth, no issues.
Using a Samsung original cable on a laptop. Phone Battery was ~30% when I did all the steps, but since then read that battery should be higher so swapped out to fully charged battery and retried the steps.
Using the root kernel you did, basically flashed a Gingerbread kernel over an ICS rom. (Doesn't work)
Your best bet at this point, is too flash a rooted ICS build from bigfau ...(located in the super thread stock section)
Just flash using TWRP ....BUT !!!
make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, and system before flashing the rooted ICS build.
Once the rom is flashed, you will be stock and rooted.
Regarding data you have lost with no backup....start begging forgiveness now ....it's gone ....g

Wouldn't I be able to just flash an ICS Kernel to undo the GB kernel and set things straight? Or is the whole thing ruined already?
I have the data/app and data/data files. If all's really lost, I'll just put JB on it. If I copy the data/app and data/data files onto the new image will all the apps with their settings/data be restored at least?
Yes, flash the correct kernel.
I think what happened to me is the OS got deleted cuz once I flashed a rom I was good to go!
I am stock rooted and didn't modify a single thing. The only thing I did was flash TWRP recovery because I was planning on flashing ROMS but I eventually decided to stick to stock rooted so I reflashed the stock recovery. I received the update a week ago and proceeded to install it. However, it seems to fail. When the phone boots into stock recovery it attempts to install the update but at about a 3rd of it's progress it immediately stops and all that is displayed on the screen is a phone flat down with a red triangle and exclamation mark inside it. I've tried searching about this but everything I find leads me to the One X and I've never owned that phone so I'm not sure how similar they really are. Does anyone know why this is happening? Would it possibly be due to a corrupted recovery file within my download source? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?

Did you relock bootloader?

Mine is unlocked and the update worked fine. You just need the stock Tmo recovery to make it work.

That's the thing.. I do have the TMO stock recovery. Unless you can provide me with another link, the one I downloaded doesn't seem to work at all and I've redownloaded numerous times. I still get that triangle..

My apologies. I completely forgot to report back to this.. YES, all is well now. Not sure why the other recovery didn't work as it did work for others but guess that doesn't matter now. Thanks a lot for your help. Much appreciated.
I used this recovery, and it completely wiped my phone and all my stuff was gone. And it still didn't install the update. Is that normal?

Yes when you flash recovery I believe it will Wipe your sd card. But your stuff should be on your gmail account though at least your phone numbers. You need to give us more info. Are you on stock t mo rom?

As far as I'm aware unlocking the bootloader or flashing an RUU are the ONLY things that wipe your storage. Flashing recoveries doesn't touch it except for adding in the necessary files to function properly.

I really cant remember if it did or did not when I flashed the recovery but in post #8 he said it wiped his sd. I could be wrong though. Just trying to help this guy out. I do know unlocking bootloader does wipe your sd though so i'm sure your right I just cant remember.
:| is the update supposed to go "reboot, recovery, blue bar moving along HALT reboot, recovery bigger loading blue bar, STOP dead, Red triangle"
ive tried it 3 times no luck.

ive Locked and reset the tamper flag with revone still wont install the OTA
its no so much I WANT the update as much as i WANT my phone to stop buggin me about the damn update XD
ive followed the thread linked above and tried all methods provided. no luck so im sure im doing something horrificaly wrong XD
all i can provide is this,
Verifying curent system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop", "5c450bd35b662fa55d667bda7463960e2eb669c
5", "48daa0113456b06b44b52c1b777d7d2e49af1196")
Instalation aborted.
soo all i got was something is up with the build prop that it dosnt like... as for the other randomness hell if i know.
its weird though as ive never rooted the phone. i just unlocked bootloader to get a custom recovery on it so i could make backups of my entire phone.
and flash that one mod that gets rid of the 3 dot bar.
Heres the build prop paste bin

Hi Fellas.
I've got recently Galaxy s2.
It has old OS (2.3.5)
I would like to install CianogenMod10.2 or something similar.
The problem with this phone - It has completely broken usb socket. I charge the battery exernally.
I cannot use built-in bootloader, which works with Odin - because , again, usb is not working.
It also has some other bootloader (Powerup +Select button +volume UP) - which looks like CWM - but it's not CWM - because phone has stock firmware from Orange mobile company. This loader has even option to install zip from SD card - But when I try to install cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip ( latest cianogenmod) - it gives an error - that image is NOT SIGNED.
Is there anything I can do ?
Please advice

@junglemike - if u have a broken usb ...i seriously suggest u not to try cm10.2
if recovery doesnt works (like 2 nightlies before) u will be doomed.
I will check this out.
This is a boot loader that I have apart from stock recovery mode:

Not sure if this helps.

Thanks.
I understand the risks, I could install stable CM 10 version, or some other stable version.
If only I could figure out hot to install CWM...

I have tried what you suggested:
I downloaded and tried to flash PhilZ touch 3.0.0 temporary flash (file: philz-touch_3.00_i9100-signed.zip)
But it gives me same error: cannot verify the signature.
What I am missing.
Some more questions, sorry if they are too basic
1) PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel - there are many kernels. Which one to choose? This is kernel info of my phone, if it helps:
2) Suppose I succeed to flash PhiZ, why do you suggest to flash neatrom first? why not CM10 right away?
Dear @junglemike,
There is no Philz kernel for gingerbread. Nor will any temporary CWM work on GB!
The way I see it, messing with a phone having a bad USB port is like playing with fire. If something goes wrong, you will have to resort to flashing via Odin (which u can't).
So I suggest you repair the USB port (you can do it yourself too) first.

Yep. You're nuts messing with your phone with a busted USB port. If anything goes even slightly badly, and it does for almost everyone at some stage, you won't be fixing it.
I am starting to think that you are right.
By the way, friend gave me this phone, because he dropped it in a water, and USB never worked after that. I verified that it is not a bad contact issue. I checked with a tester that all 4 contacts are getting through to the motherboard. Probably some chip got burned when when that friend connected charger when phone was still wet.
I just wanted to upgrade because this jingerbread looks really ugly.
I guess I will stay with that anyway.
Is there any app to replace that ugly unlock screen at least? With something similar to jb4.2 ? I mean a enter point that you move from the. Enter to the right to unlock the phone
