Okay guys, never let me down before, lets see if you can keep a perfect score
This is not my first time rooting, i've rooted at least 3 phones thus far, and I am trying to root my Samsung Fascinate. I've tried z4root, Superoneclick and adb. None of them took. I believe it may be something with my drivers, but before I get into specifics, let me give you my information:
~~~~PHONE~~~~
Hardware version: I500.04
Model SCH-I500
Firmware: 2.2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: SCH-I500.ED05
~~~~COMPUTER~~~~
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3.
Ok so now that's out there, what am I doing wrong? when I tried z4root 1.3.0, it got the point where it said "acquiring root shell, then the phone vibrated 3 times and the app closed. Super one click, the prompt got stuck on "waiting for phone" ADB, the device won't even show up in the list of devices. I can't seem to find the right drivers anywhere.
It may be important to note that I am using my data cable from my optimus v, and when I plug it in, the micro-usb dongle doesn't go all the way into the port on the fascinate. However, the fascinate gives me the notification that usb mode can be activate and that debugging is on, etc.
I made sure that mock locations, and usb debugging were both on.
Any help?

Ive always used ADB and pushed over the files and such.
However are you going to flash another rom? If so just Odin recovery, flash the rom and be done with it.
I have to have root for that right? My drivers aren't working, is there a way to flash it with out a computer

You need a REAL cable... If computer doesn't see the phone via the drivers, nothing is going to work.

agreed! If you want a different rom, alot of the steps in that link I posted a not needed. Just odin the proper recovery for the rom you intend on flashing. boot into recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik, then install rom.zip from sd card. reboot and the phone should be rooted.

Downloaded everything in the link, installed drivers, I'm on my friends laptop now, still xp. I got to the step where I have to find CWM3 Voodoo in Odin, and the instructions say that one of the boxes should have turned yellow, but it didn't. I went on ahead and clicked the pda button, but it just said success 0/failure 0. What do I do? Do I have to have vista?
That means odin is not recognizing the phone. Im not sure if odin works with xp or vista... I only use 7 these days. Actually if my memory serves right, odin dont work with xp, don't quote me tho. You could try heimdall but I have no experience with it.
Still can't squire root.I've factory rest 3 times now and still nothing. Can no one help?

If u can't get odin or heimdall to work, you won't be able to root. Do you not have windows 7

as stated in the op, I explicitly said I am using windows xp, media center 2002, service pack 3 to be specific. So your telling me I'm S.O.L.?
first, get a real cable
then, go to official samsung website and install the correct fascinate drivers
download and open odin v3 1.30 (I have xp and it works)
plug in phone in download mode, wait for odin box to turn yellow
pick file in pda
and press start
then just go into cwm via 3 fingers and flash rom

I have my cable from my samsung intercept, would that work? By the way thanks for being so informative. Could you pm the drivers you used, if you have them?

I'm not saying that you shouldn't be doing this but I think you need to slow down and read some more before trying. While this phone is pretty dang hard to brick without physical damage, lacking basic knowledge can put you down got a while if something goes wrong.
A good place to start is the qa stickies. Again I'm not saying don't, just maybe give it another day or two. Really sucks rushing in soft bricking and having to learn after with no phone in the mean time.

Not trying too be an ass or anything but 1.) This is my 5th or 6th time rooting. I have more than basic knowledge. 2.) This is a spare phone I picked up dirt cheap for development. 3.) I checked every place possible trying to find out why my drivers weren't working including q&a.
That aside, I'm trying it on my friends laptop with vista. Wish me luck.

Have you uninstalled the drivers?
If not, with the phone plugged in, go to device manager, find the device, uninstall it, unplug and then replug in your phone.
Yes I did, I'm very computer literate. Turns out a cable can't tell you its bad, the original cable seem to be the problem. Probably why sometimes I get slow charge when plugged into the wall. All may be null and void when I attempt n4 conversion lol , wish me luck!
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Good luck. I recommend having LGNPST prepped to revert to stock, with the DLLs and the BIN/TOT version of the LG ROM. AFAIK, that's the only way to get back, because of how extensive the N4 conversion is. Reverting with a ZIP ROM in CWM is unlikely to work.
Yah , I think I'm going to give up on trying, between the cable thing, now I can only talk to my phone through adb, fast boot won't seem to work. Plus I can't find a lgnpst guide anywhere for our phone. No idea where to get the DLL I'm supposed to flash with, nor where to get the files to flash back. This is my first lg, I've been a HTC guy, so I know nothing about lgnpst. Thanks though

The Windows 8 guide works (even if you're in Windows 7):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013067
Step 5 refers to a folder in a zip file that you get a link to in IRC.
When you go into irc an you !info lgnpst click on other versions and get phantomphreak53's

That's the #lg-optimus-g channel on Freenode.
Yes, the DLL refers to "LS970," but it works fine with the E970.
To obtain the files listed in the first four steps, I just Googled them and found Dropbox links.
The TOT/BIN file in question would be this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984545
It will take a while to download; the server appears to average 100 KB/s.
As you can seee, it's kind of a pain to set up LGNPST's environment correctly. I recommend taking all of those files and backing them up to a secure location, so that you never need to hunt them down and re-download them again.
The guide also doesn't mention that your phone needs to be in Download Mode to interact with LGNPST. This is achieved by turning the phone off, plugging it into your computer with a USB cable, then holding down the power button and both volume buttons at the same time until the Download Mode indicator shows up on your screen. It may take several attempts; the process appears to have a low tolerance for poor button press timing.
LGNPST will interact with your phone even if Windows no longer recognizes it. I think that's why it remains popular as a last-resort recovery method.

Everything you need is on Team Nocturnals website where the conversion thread is minus lgnpst and the nexus 4 drivers.
After you flash the n4 conversion, boot in recovery and then install the nexus 4 universal naked drivers (Google it, should be the first xda link.) Then you can use adb to fast boot -w and flash a recovery. Just read a little more and you'll realize its not hard at all. Just make sure everything is prepared. Good luck if you try it. It was very interesting to me. I've gone back to stock and came back to the conversion after the sdcard fix

Right now the problem I am having is getting windows to recognize my phone in boot loader/ fast boot which will prevent me from being able to fastboot -w , I have a thread on here should be titled fast boot and recovery. Posted it last night. I'm trying to make sure everything is ready, but my phone and my PC are just trying to fight me every which way lol. I'm going to try another computer and see if things run smoother, I have rooted and unlocked a bunch of phones for friends and myself on my laptop. Wondering if I'm just having a lot of driver conflicts lol
Its not about what you know , but who you know.
You might need to flash your recovery, and possibly lock your bootloader again. What I have seen over my several rooted phones is that sometimes when unlocking them, the binary code doesn't match up and will not allow the battery, USB port, and even screen to work with the software. Won't matter if you unistall or reinstall the drivers. Hope this help!

Which software are you describing? I have not lgnpst 'd anything yet, it does notice my phone both with phone on and connection settings to lg software, and in download mode. The problem I am currently stuck on is getting my PC to notice my phone in boot loader so I can't use any fb commands. I can talk to my phone when its on through adb commands no problem.
I dont want to get in trouble, the original problem was I could not get windows to notice my phone at all. I fixed that by trying a different USB cord, apparently my original is failing. If you would like to help me more so I don't get yelled at, please post in my other thread titled fast boot and recovery in the qa thread. I really want to attempt this, its my bday. So it would be a awesome little bday present to my flashaholic self

Sorry I can't post this in the Android Development forum due to low post count. I installed the Nameless kitkat rom and the gapps install didn't work. After installing, 3 computers do not recognize the device so I can't flash another rom. Because gapps isn't installed, I don't know of a way to transfer a rom file to it to fix this issue.
Any suggestions? Only thing i can think of is set up a ftp server and download a rom via the browser.

Doesn't work? Do you have the proper drivers installed?
Keep in mind that the Samsung supplied drivers are finicky on some platforms... I have had very bad experiences on Vista, and trying to connect multiple different P7510's over the same driver, forcing older tablets to be 'forgotten'.
If it does not recognise the tablet, repeat uninstall the dirver, reboot, install driver reboot and try to connect multiple times in a row. Sometimes you can get lucky.
Otherwise you could try the supplied driver, found in http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4wifi, at the caption Samsung USB Drivers with Escape which seems to work fine for almost all.
Thanks
Thanks for your help. I reinstalled the driver with escape and it is now working. Appreciate your assistance.

Sounds like a firmware mismatch possibly. What does it say in Settings/About phone/Software information/Service provider SW version? Last line under your IMEI number. Mine is TMB/TMB/VZW. I think possibly the first to have to match for OTA updates to work. The last one indicates what the original firmware out of the box was.

Hmm that looks good. The OTA failure might be due to you having the beta firmware. There might be a series of beta updates you can install from here in the forums to get you where you need to be. I'm not a hundred percent sure though.
Otherwise you ought to be able to update via Odin if you download the latest T-Mobile release. Are you experienced with Odin, is it recognizing your phone when it's in download mode?

Odin wont flash any rom whatsoever. I've already tried 3 different versions but I gave up since they usually take 4 hours to download. Odin gets stuck and/or fails at Setupconnection or initialization steps every time. I'm only asking for help because Odin will not work. I figured I need an update for the beta. They only work for each build though so I need the build that updates baseband ZRL5

Wouldnt even have gotten this far if I didnt have ADB debugging enabled. As I said before several times. Odin wont flash anything. I've already tried to go back to 8. If you can tell me how to get back to 8 without Odin that would be nice. But i need links to files not unhelpful text that tells me that I need to find something. Thats the whole issue. It's almost impossible to find the correct files unless someone who already knows gives you a link to them. I thought that's one thing XDA used to be good for but I guess that isnt the case anymore.
I would of helped but you kinda sound like a ****. Have fun with your perma-beta phone!

If your stuck on setup connection on Odin some things to try assuming using windows
Use Odin 3.13.1 ( or modified Odin 3.13.1B )
If you have smart switch/Kies install, un-install it.
USB cable i'm assuming is a data cable.
USB port try plugging into USB 2 port.
Plug phone directly into PC not any hubs.
Use latest Samsung USB drivers.
Run Odin in administrator mode.
Boot into download mode then reboot back into download mode again.
Maybe turn off any anti-virus programs.
Try a different PC.
These are a few things to try as failing at setup connection can be a common with some people and can vary with the PC.
Also note having OEM unlocked or USB debugging has no bearing when flashing stock firmware with Odin.
