I know some of them since my old phone is a G1 running CM 6.0 but there are some new terms here and I am having to hunt down definitions before I can start to root my new Verizon Fascinate and install roms.

DI01 was the first maintence release update for the Fascinate. If you are stock, this is most likely what you are running.
DJ05 was a leaked maintenance release that was never actually released, but fixed many bugs, including the GPS for most
DL09 is the current maintenance release that was leaked, but should be rolling out OTA soon. By most accounts, there isn't much difference between this and the previous leak.
TELUS is a Canadian service provider which also has a Samsung Galaxy S device named the Fascinate, but TELUS is a GSM carrier. Ideally, TELUS should have named their device after the Vibrant, as it is closer in hardware to that variant.
You should make it a bit more clear that posts concerning questions should be posted in the General Section instead of the Dev section.

Instead of making a negative post, why didn't you just add to the thread with updates etc.

It's not a negative, it's relevant. I'm not going to further compound an already confusing situation. If it's stickied, it's the responsibility of whoever started it to maintain that thread. There's no reason to sticky a thread that is out of date or no longer valid. The updates should be made to the OP and replace the outdated information.
... but thanks for your opinion, I'll take that into consideration.
A friend just bought a Fascinate and I'm having a hell of a time finding up to date info. Everything I seem to find leads back to the same link this leads to for rooting. The post for one click root that apparently is too old. Is there a new method to gain root on this phone?
Can anyone tell me how I can make a backup of my OS either turn it into a MD5 or zip file?
I mean like the ones that are used to return to stock or upgrade to a newer version.
Thanks in advance.
there is a app called odin maker that will allow you to backup your os as a .tar file.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this Forum and a Noob to the Note 2..... I just bought my Note 2 last week, but have not had a chance to really mess with it since I have been working long hours, school, and taking care of the Fam. My question is, is it safe to root on the latest OTA? I read in several places that it wasn't and that's why I am unsure, I will try to do more reading on it tonight. Or maybe you Guys or Gals can direct me to the the correct link or thread, once again sorry if it has been already asked and thanks for your help!
I rooted mine on the new ota, took a few tries but worked on my laptop.

Read thid thread very thoroughly and if you have questions ask them before you do anything to your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
Its easier to ask first than spend hours trying to fix a mess up. If you dont know which updates you have taken go to Settings/About Phone and look at your build number. If your build number is VRALJB follow the link under section 1a for VRALJB, if the build number is VRALL4 follow the link for VRALL4, if you are on VRAMC3 (which is the latest update) follow the link for VRAMC3. Read, read, and read again until you understand everything you will be doing, if you dont fully understand then come ask questions first and someone will help you as soon as they can.

You need Dev Patched LGUP compatible with Pie.
You need to update to newest Dev Patched LGUP found in any of the Pie KDZ threads I maintain. Also found in Frankenstein thread.
Uninstall any prior version. Read Installation instructions carefully!
Does anyone know how to fix broken download mode?
I tried to root my phone but I failed among the many steps. I just flashed US998 ROM on my V300L because it was in one of the steps. And I didn't unlock my bootloader so I can't install TWRP. I tried to revert back to V300L ROM with LGUP but it doesn't recognize my device. And on download mode screen it says
Unknown B78
Unknown / E / L / RO
Also, I was on Pie
And I didn't find any solution to this problem online.
UPDATE: It boots up to setup screen. But restarts after touching anything.

It's pretty clear what I wrote.
You're either...
1) not using Dev Patched LGUP at all (instead using regular LGUP),
2) not using the latest Dev Patched LGUP
or
3) you didn't read the installation instructions of latest Dev Patched LGUP and follow them.
Go to where I said to go,
download from there, and
install according to Instructions:

Go find a Pie KDZ thread or the Frankenstein instructions thread. Use the Dev Patched LGUP from there. Instructions are also there.

It's in every one of ChazzMatt's ROM threads as well as the Frankenstein and Root threads (in the ROM and Guide sections).
Don't get me wrong, but it is hard to imagine that you couldn't find it if you spent any time looking in those sections.
Edit: I'll post a link for you later today or tomorrow if you really can't find it. Please make an effort first.
Edit2: Since you didn't post back, I assume you must have found it. Otherwise the offer still stands.
Thank you for the kind offer

Hope I can do that as well... Just absolutely annoying that I got something working and then out of nowhere just because I updated to A9 it quit working out of the sudden. Like give me a break, I have enough issues already to sort out to figure out how to free it from the Tyranny of bull**** companies. I have a F800K... Hopefully I can get this working and flash it back to A7.
Okay I seem to get to the point where I am close to breaking my phone with a hammer. Like using so much time on getting something to work just wanted to try out A9 and now getting this issue... Like come on!
I need some help here.
I have the V20 F800K and I need to downgrade it for rooting, and now with A9 I can't seem to downgrade it.
Help needed... Sick and tired of this nonsense of wasting hours and hours on something that should be as easy as eating pie.

Help me, what applications and what did you do?
What version, which did you install first, and so forth. Should be somewhat of the same with my F800K
[B]ChazzMatt[/B] you are absolutely no help to us newbies! Like I don't have enough problems, yea find it yourself sort of thing, has never been valuable in my book. That is not how you make people learn. While people are lead they learn, not like - figure it out yourself, that takes a lot longer then just giving a helping hand. I never understood people who have this idea, just figure it out yourself, its really not that hard... yea.... when you know it is not hard.
Like we don't already have 100 tabs open to listen and figure things out, in this grand mess of how to do it. Just load some more on people, and see people break.

And not a single Link for any of the threads, THANKS!
I don't know why I'm bothering to reply as you don't seem to be a reasonable person, but I'll give it a shot anyway.
First off, if you can't handle search and finding info yourself, then you shouldn't hack your phone. We're not here to hand hold people for every little thing.
Secondly, we don't live on the forums, so posting your nonsense every few minutes is just going to aggravate people who could help you. Sometimes I will help people who are not able to find things themselves, but you're being very unreasonable so I have no desire to try.
Thirdly, you seem to be talking about a V20 phone... this is the V30 forum. If you can't find the right forum to post your question, you REALLY shouldn't try to use these tools. Yes, LGUP is probably cross platform in this sense, but again, I don't care to try.
Finally, you hijack a thread and then complain about the very people you want help from? Seriously?
Bottom line, this process is unofficial and tricky. We're not here to handhold you through the process any more than the referenced, excellent posts already do. You clearly cannot follow directions, can't search, and can't find well placed and very obvious threads (I know for a fact that WTF thread is at the TOP of the forum section, because I just saw it there). Yes, we want to help, but if you can't be bothered to make an effort, and then want to complain about everyone, then you're not going to find any help here... certainly none from me. Consider yourself blocked.

I did, but there is so much so I might have missed it. Had 3 or more tabs open on the subject trying to sort it out. I did sort it out, and I did try the dual file... Whatever the case I did not get it to work. But I did find another solution for my V20 F800K. I'll attach the files for anyone who needs it.
Install MSI first and then copy over the files in the folder pie! And you should be able to downgrade version 9 to version 7. Just tiering with all these files and this and that. This seems to do it for me overall, with whatever I wanna fix it with. A7 8 or 9
Anyway, I am moved to a lot of other issues having solved it. I seem to have rooted my phone yet, now I have a lot of other issues as I can't update to version 8 it seems now that I am rooted because of Google crazy.
