I managed to root my phone and install Rom manager from the marketplace so I could flash a stock 2.2 rom (instead of the 02 one I have)
But I cannot get it to boot into clockwork recovery or install from SD card.
any ideas?
Moving to Q&A SECTION
Wot phone is it 02 or at&t you need to install streakmod recovery or clockwork mod recovery

Its 02, I installed Rom manager (previously clockwork mod). I successfully flashed the recovery but when It reboots it doesn't boot into recovery.
Flash THIS Recovery
Or THIS Recovery
And both will let you into recovery but you can only flash a custom rom with those recoverys
If you want to flash THE OFFICIAL 2.2 Then Flash THIS Recovery
Hope that helps
Edit: Ah posted at the same time.. will have a look and report back shortly, thanks!
EDIT 2: Ok, had a look.... how to I flash recovery's? ROM manager has the option to use different recovery greyed out? And there no way im doing that fastboot, takes far too long!
So have you figured out that ROM Manager doesn't work for the Streak?
Hmm... QDL and Fastboot seem to take a little less time than say AT&T OTA
Start Here:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
What I missed ? Everytimes , I tries to flash a new rom on my Dell Streak , with Rom Manager , when I finished the step " reboot and install " , then my Streak simply rebooted and then no further action taken .
To everyone trying to use ROM Manager on the Streak:
STOP!
ROM Manager has never worked on the Streak and continuing to try to use it will only result in headaches on your part. The only accepted method of flashing a ROM on a Streak is through the Recovery. Speaking of the Recovery, it should NOT be Clockworkmod, because that recovery doesn't work properly with the Streak. Streakmod is the recommended recovery.
Now, had you ROM Manager guys actually searched the forums you would have found this out rather than posting yet another thread on how the app doesn't work.
Next time use the damn search engine on this site. It's not there just to make the site look pretty, and in using it you will in fact be following the site's rules.
Any questions?

you all over the place with this. You are my hero right now.
Sadly the folks will still post without searching.
Quite honestly, I have little enough patience for people as it is. People who seek the "quick fix" and are unwilling to put the time in to learn about their devices are annoying enough. Lazy ass people who can't be bothered to spend the time looking for answers to their questions before posting are a plague. Both deserve to be taken to the back of the tool shed and flogged.
I believe from now on, in addition to calling out people for being total idiots, I'll be reporting the posts as well. Because this bulls**t has got to stop. Searching before posting is the number one site rule on XDA, and it's about damn time it gets enforced. The only way for it to BE enforced is by letting the moderators know about it.

Post #2 is from the moderator, too often these threads get shuffled around and are not closed and/or deleted.
Yeah, I know Lufc moved the thread. He's pretty proactive on that. But unless people report the thread as violating the site rules he really can't do much about it.
I've been pretty lenient in just posting reminders to get the noobs and lazy people among us to actually use the tools that are present on this site. But my patience for that crap is at an end. If someone can't be bothered to use the search tools on this site, expect to be called out on it and the post reported.
EDIT: Looking back at the thread, can someone explain to me just how in the heck you can come upon a thread that details the problem you are having and not at least read the thread before you post to it?
I'm starting to notice a trend. I think that as our phones get older more people are ditching them, selling them, and the new owners are stumbling on XDA.
I know I was a total Android noob when I got my Streak, but had been on XDA for a while, so was well aware of the search function. Not to mention reading the stickies.
I think this is gonna keep getting worse!

Hello....
So i found a guy on craigslist to trade my Droid 2 for the Fasicnate, drove thirfty miles to his house and listend to him freak out for 35 mins as i explained the benifits of my droid 2 and it being rooted and he seriously begain hyperventelating because he was dead straight afraid of being arrested........ I was about to just.... i dont know, the word run came to mind... Anyway.
WHat a beautiful phone, i mean it you guys have got something here, and im glad i added this to my growing list of android device's this is my fifth since my first love The G1.
Anyways,
I presumed and though i could install Cyanogenmod on it that was the immediant reason i got it, i didnt do any reaseachr and now know that u can but it runs really ruff and isnt supported... so.
I modded via this cyanogen wiki
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Fascinate:_Rooting
i got all the way to the part about installing rom manager and flashing CWM,
However i went to do this (yes im rooted) and all i get is when i flash cwm and i try to reboot into cwm from rom manager to make a backup is i get to the samsung 2e recovery screen ..
A little more research i see something that i need to install or excuse me i need a program called odin, and i need the cwm packaged via this thread but the CWM package is no longer hosted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
But, one im not completly sure that is what i need to do and two im seein what i think is a bunch of diff versions of baseband like D101 ect However i see on mine that the last of my baseband is Dh12 actually its all s:i500.04 v.dh12
SHould i be downgrading here? And its best to assume while i have rooted and taken the virginity of the G1, Eris, Droid, Droid 2 Droid X and now this beyond what i have described here is my limited experience with this phone.
Also bear in mind that this phone was factory reset when i got it, and was 100% virgin. It is now rooted but that is it. I really wanted to get back to "my roots" like my G1 and have a fully modable phone from kernal on up and was stoked to get this. But im lost and i cant seem to find much help else where, or what appears to be people telling me to reroot and i know that is incorrect.
Can you all point me in the right direction please!
My sincere apprecation and thanks for your help and acceptace of my sporatic typeing.
Don't have a chance to read this atm but before you get flamed..you should post this in the general or Q and A section instead..

Instructions.
First, welcome to the Fascinate forums. Second, please try to faimilariaze yourself with the rules here. This thread should have gone in Q&A and you are quite likely to get flamed for it eventually.
As for your questoin-- We don't have a fully functioning AOSP, CM6, or 7 yet but what we have is pretty close. If you can live without MMS, Camcorder, and BT headset then you should give one them a shot. If not, stick with one of the Touchwiz builds such as Nitro's Evil Fascination or Adrylnalyn's Superclean.
Nitro has linked you to all the necessary software. As for using Odin, please reference this thread.

Nitro always looking out! One of our most valuable members I might add.
I would strongly reccommebd flashing Nitro's Evil Fascination Froyo rom and perhaps one of his themes once you get that far. You won't regret it. Trust me. Super sexy and super fast and he's very friendly and knowledgable. Keeps all his work updated on a regular basis too. Good luck and congrats on your new Fascinate!

Got all the links you could ever ask for from nitro. Just install Odin on your comp and install the Samsung drivers. Then just go to the link for the older cwm and d/l the necessary file.
Remove battery from the phone and while you're holding the volume down.button plug the phone into.your.computer. it'll show a yellow android and say downloading.
Click PDA and choose the file you downloaded for cwm 2.5 and click start. Once it.says pass on Odin you're done.
Even easier, get one of the packagaes from one of these threads it includes adryns froyo rom, the modem for.froyo and the recovery. I don't feel like finding the link but if you get that it's easy its just one big file that you flash with Odin (the same.way you do with cwm) and when its done you got a froyo fascinate with a solid touchwiz rom from adryn

Hey Mortland,
Welcome to these forums. I am still fairly new here at XDA. Just to clarify and help you understand what everyone was referring to. I believe if I read them correctly, the rules about the Development section say posts and especially new threads in the development section should be limited to things that are directly related to development of a ROM, kernel, or MOD. This is so the development forum is used for improvements to existing ROMs, kernels, or MODS, or development of new ROMS, kernels, or MODS so the developers doing this work do not have to wade through a laundry list of threads or non-development questions in order to get the information they need. So if you have questions about development, or want to report a bug or problem you have discovered with a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then you come here and post. If it is a question on how to install or use a ROM, kernel, or MOD, then I guess it is supposed to go over in the Q&A section. I know it can seem kind of confusing, so the only reason for me posting is to hopefully help clear up any of the confusion. Hope this has helped, and definitely follow nitrogliceryne's advice and help. Good luck.
Mods and devs,
Sorry if this long post has cluttered things up even more. Just trying to help.

Can't we just request that MOD move it to the Q&A section? Especially since some good links were posted there? No sense being a wanker about it, except that it can be fun if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
I know it makes all the "experienced" users feel good to bash every new guy that posts in the Development Thread but something really should have occurred to the community at large by now:
If this is happening something like 15 times per day, maybe the thread title should be renamed to Developers ONLY or Not for Q&A (or something like that)...although I'm kind of guessing that it's an auto-naming thing that they have set up for each new device that gets listed on the forums, so that might not be an option.
Usually I'm not very into getting threads moved when they're placed where they are but this thread is just straight ridiculous. Hyperventilating, seriously?
We need to have some sort of HTML implemented that allows any user to click the button and flag the thread for being moved. Not flagged for being inappropriate or reporting, just flagged for need of being moved to another section.

You need to look in this [Guide]

Just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 AT&T with the Zedomax Kernel and it also flashed Clockworkmod recovery. Everything went great. Can I update the recovery using rom manager? I ask this because the GS2 combines the kernel with the recovery I think and to use rom manager for anything you must flash the recovery from rom manager. Coming from HTC phones where this was never a problem. Just don't want to screw anything up.
Thanks for any help,

The forum has been changed radically in the past couple of days, and I'm not sure if this is still evident to new users, but it used to be plastered all over the forum. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER WITH THIS PHONE.
In particular, you can not install ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager, as it will not work. You must use a ClockworkMod Recovery that is integrated into the kernel. I would suggest that you flash Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel.
It still is plastered.. why don't new people follow the etiquette of any one new to anything that they should read the FAQs!
As you can see by the amount of posts and years I have been a paid member I am no rookie. As for reading before asking, I did. I even went to the search section and asked without any luck so being a long time paid member I thought I could ask without getting my ass chewed out. If you see by my question I already flashed a kernel with CWmod recovery. I asked if I could use Rom Manager to update the Kernel.
Thanks for the help.

To be honest, I didn't even look over in the left column to see your post count before I posted my answer. (I usually do.) However, from the way you worded your question, it is obvious that you are new to this phone and the I-777 forums, even though you are not new to XDA. Over the previous months, there have been a large number of questions asked that are already answered if the person had just read a little first. And your question about ROM Manager, in one form or another, has been one of the chief offenders. You say, "As for reading before asking, I did." But go to the sticky post in this forum, (or the one in the General forum or the similar one in the development forum as they're all about the same) and click on the link that says FAQ topic. You'll see what I meant in my previous post.
Don't get bent out of shape over this. You're an experienced member who can pitch in and help other folks out, so when you come around the forums, do that. The moderators are just asking us all to be responsible.
As mentioned before do not use room manager to flash roms kernels or whatever.you can use it to download different roms but even those can be corrupted or not finished a many users saw with the CM9 build that was posted there.

Nevertheless, had you read the main (and now only) sticky in here or in General, you would know not to use RomManager on this phone and would not have had to ask.
And with that, topic closed.
Search more people... please! Use Google, use XDA.. but SEARCH. REad the FAQ's before posting.. it is FORUM RULES.
OK so after reading and watching and reading some more I thought I could successfully root and then mod my i777 to ICS. Yeah, not so much.
I managed to get the device rooted using some help from GalaxyS2Root.com and using the 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel. After that I thought I could install shostock2 however when the install started with CWM it goes for a moment and says "Installation aborted." I tried to do the same with cyanogenmod with the same result. Also wifi won't stay on, but have unrooted and everything goes back to normal.
I searched a great deal for this, but could find nothing. I would love a link to a thread if there is one. Do I need a different kernel? I feel like I followed the directions to a T. I really would like to have ICS and the super user ability, it if wasn't meant to be then that's fine. I can just unroot and wait for official ICS.
Thanks for your patience with my newbness. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, and I am truly grateful that you guys are here for me to ask.
The links in the sticky at the top of this forum will help you out. Please read all of them carefully before making further modifications to your phone.
You should try to avoid using rooting methods that you don't find on XDA. Go here and grab the stock with root package, and use that to root. After that, download Mobile Odin and use it to install a kernel that includes CWM. Entropy's DD or Siyah will to the trick. After that you should be fine to flash stuff with CWM.

I'm thinking it has to do with this:
The sticky ATTENTION: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II General Guide/Walkthrough/FAQ/hints and tips, that EVERYONE is supposed to read when they join XDA, instructs you to read this: How to Easily Root your device. Or watch the video walkthrough.
If you read the info and then decide you want to watch the vid to get another example by sight, something I believe most people would do... I know I did, you will be lead to a thread called ROM's, Kernels, Tools & "How to" I777 SGS2. In this thread the OP made multiple posts in order to separate the information while still giving you everything he believed you would need. In the second post he has a section called "<Tools>" under that it says "For all first timers" and under that it states "Excellent How To Video's".
The first video, credited to zedomax, sends you to the site GalaxyS2Root ...
Then you say that all the information can be found here at XDA ... Well, you are right, that information IS found here on XDA with an external link to "that site".
tl:dr
Not being a **** here just pointing out the reason people are using GalaxyS2Root. A thread started by Red5 (a highly respected member of XDA) includes a link to a thread made by another respcted member of XDA. At this point there is yet another link to another thread that includes the GS2Root link...
You follow the yellow brick road and it leads you to the wizard!
Personally I will only be putting Entropy or Entropy approved rom/kernel/etc. on my GS2 - His work helped me a ton with my old Tilt2.

And this is one of the reasons that shortly after moderator Red5 wrote the new sticky post with the consolodated information in it, I sent him a private message asking him to remove that video from the post, and to also update the OP of the "How to easily Root your device" thread by Jivy26 to include working download links. However, for whatever reason, he chose not to make the changes. I should have pressed the point with him, or our other moderator, but I just let it be.

Thanks for updating both your post and Jivy's post. Here are a couple of suggestions on the links in the "how to easily root" OP:
The items 1 through 4 are the same as and were copied from items 2a through 2d in the Guide "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!!" The links in the Guide are all working as far as I know.
First, the only exception to this is that I can not get any MultiUpload link to work. They just seem to display a blank page in the browser. I don't know if they ever work sometimes or not. This means Entropy512's original thread for the rooting packages, which is linked to in item 4 has unusable links. I just added an additional link in my guide in item 2d to direct people to the download repository for alternative links. "...or if you have difficulty with the links in his thread, there are alternative links for all his files in the Download Repository toward the bottom."
In item 2, you left the MultiUpload link, but you could change it to this one which is in the Guide - "Download "SuperOneClick v2.3.1 - Automatic Driver Installation" from DepositFiles (or look for links here) and extract it to a directory on your hard drive using WinZip or a similar program".
In item 3, you included links for both the unrooted and rooted packages, but this would be confusing to new users since it is a guide on how to easily root. I think you should remove the non-rooted link.

I'm thinking it has to do with this:
The sticky ATTENTION: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II General Guide/Walkthrough/FAQ/hints and tips, that EVERYONE is supposed to read when they join XDA, instructs you to read this: How to Easily Root your device. Or watch the video walkthrough.
If you read the info and then decide you want to watch the vid to get another example by sight, something I believe most people would do... I know I did, you will be lead to a thread called ROM's, Kernels, Tools & "How to" I777 SGS2. In this thread the OP made multiple posts in order to separate the information while still giving you everything he believed you would need. In the second post he has a section called "<Tools>" under that it says "For all first timers" and under that it states "Excellent How To Video's".
The first video, credited to zedomax, sends you to the site GalaxyS2Root ...
Then you say that all the information can be found here at XDA ... Well, you are right, that information IS found here on XDA with an external link to "that site".
tl:dr
Not being a **** here just pointing out the reason people are using GalaxyS2Root. A thread started by Red5 (a highly respected member of XDA) includes a link to a thread made by another respcted member of XDA. At this point there is yet another link to another thread that includes the GS2Root link...
You follow the yellow brick road and it leads you to the wizard!
Personally I will only be putting Entropy or Entropy approved rom/kernel/etc. on my GS2 - His work helped me a ton with my old Tilt2.

You got my quote, were you talking to me???
Either way, just let you know that video links to that site are removed.
I blame Red for his sloppy control and slowly response LOL j/k Red
help
i too made the mistake of following to galaxy s 2 root.com he said that the zedomax for the i9100 would work on my att version. which of course it didn't. please excuse my lack of knowledge as i have previously let others root my device. with the help of the brilliant minds here i was able to get back stock uckk6+root under build number, thanks again everyone, i bow to you. but still showing uckh7 in broadband version. is this an issue other than warranty and when device powers up? if so, not a big deal for me. but i am concerned that it will cause me issues with flashing roms for my I777. i have read for hours but some of this is over my head. PLEASE help! the other issue i have is that the graphics have gone to crap. i mean aweful. if i flash another rom will that fix it or is there something else i need to do? thanks again.

Baseband version is the modem version. Has nothing to do with your firmware version and has no bearing on roms or warranty.

Q&A for [ODIN] Stock ROM Collection
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ODIN] Stock ROM Collection. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
2.3.5 Gingerbread ODIN file
I am in desperate need of a stock ODIN file for samsung fascinate. All the links I can find are years old and no longer work. If anyone has a valid file I can use to restore my fascinate to stock and get it working again, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot! That's what I've been looking for. So, now that I can get it back to stock and actually make a backup this time, do you know of any other places where I can find custom ROMs? I know this is a very old device and I don't know if anyone is even still developing for it. Thanks.

Yep, go back up of level and you well find these 4.2_and older
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=4298
And here you will find some 4.3 & 4.4 versions
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=7312
BUT please read up on their actual thread to find about quirks and problems and what actually works.
Hint 4.3 had no 3g data
Those 4.4 did but the fascinate has very picky procedure to get it onto kitkat
Quite a few of the ROM links i have up i put link to the thread in the description to help out.
None of these are My ROMs I only was providing a host site to locate these hard to find items.
Unfortunately the fassy forum is virtually dead and has been so for about a year now...
Good luck.
Seriously you rock, thank you for the mirror, what a life saver.

Don't judge my rock addiction, err I mean rock collection!
The free mirrors are at the salvation army, you just gotta walk away with it at a brisk pace and they don't bother chasing you, like in tokyo drift.

Still a few of us left
I could not figure out how to delete my original post to give a formal update on the service I received from OneClickRoot. I will give a full update when I get done with my errands but I will say that OneClickRoot was finally able to root my device. They also gave a full refund for my troubles since the process was not the smoothest. I will post again later tonight for sure though to give a full update and to give my opinion on whether or not I would give them my referral.

Is the cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar have clockworkmod recovery? And which section do I use for it? Will any Fascinate model work? Does it support 2.3.4?
