I have scoured the entire internet and looked everywhere I could on XDA itself but I cannot find a comprehensive tutorial on how to bring this device back from the brink. I have tried several different methods but they all seem incomplete and I do not know what I am doing wrong. I have it in download mode right now and its just waiting. I am not exactly new at rooting and installing roms but this is the first time I have had such a huge issue. I've been dealing with this for 8 hours or straight research, trial, and error.
Please, before I pull out all of my hair, can I get a little help?
How did you get to where you are at ?

I haven't seen this question asked yet, and I feel like it's the elephant in the room here. what are the different "boot modes" you can select when booting into the bootloader menu, and what do they do? surely someone has some documentation. Some of them, from their title, seem very interesting, and makes me consider the development potential of this phone, and possible moving over to it from my epic.
Any insight would be great!
Bumpity bump
Surely someone has some knowledge about this or has played around with them. Cmon, xda'ers...

Bump!!!
I would like to know this also. Specificlly if I can do a factory reset from there incase I put the Phone into another Bootloop. I put it in a Bootloop this afternoon, luckly pulling the battery fixed it, but wondering if what my saftey net is.
I would Imagine that fast boot might work if I had the right file on my SD
Been having an issue DLing the Electrify SBF from UsCellular blogsite. I tried IE, Firefox, & Chrome. All keep giving me short DLs. Most I received was like 312 of the 522 mb. Really making me want to bang my head against the wall! Anyone know of another place to get it maybe?!?!
If anyone has the sbf they could send me maybe I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried using all browsers I have at my disposal and continue to only get maybe 50ish% or so on each. Very strange, usually dl no problem... Maybe corrupt?!?!
I am trying to upload it, but it's a little big for my internet provider speed, I don't know if it will pass through.

peetr, you r the man! I have been having issues with it since yesterday... I have literally tried every browser I know of, and none have gotten me past 50% Mind boggling! And to make matters worse, it seems now have a HHD error on my PC, and if I dont back it up soon... its doomed. Maybe I will add secondary hdd, copy all files to it and make it my new... I know off topic, Sorry.
I think I figured out my problem with the DL. It seems that when the dl is coming through, I get the windows found an error with you're hdd. Please back up now before the hdd fails and you loose all information. I guess I need to go use mom dukes PC to work this issue out. Thanks peetr for trying to help me out. Your good guy to have on my team!

Hey guys, its atrixno4g and i was wondering if their is away to rom the atrix running 2.3.6 with .141. Oh and if someone could tell me about this unlocked-bootloader thing is all about ( is it when the phone is unlocked?) and how to get the clockworkmod recovery i think its called.. I recently got this phone and without doing any research i used a program called RSD Lite and flashed some sbf to downgrade or something and instead bricked my phone- but i fixed it now. So basically can someone just give me a brief summary about all this, i dont want to brick my phone again.
Thanks.

It would take more of my own time to explain it all and provide all of the links then it would for you to find out yourself.
Search-lazy much?
Sorry but by asking questions like that you are effectively invalidating and making worthless all the hard work and effort put into writing all those tutorials and explanations in other threads. Not nice.

I rooted and unlocked my bootloader a few hours ago using the automatic bootloader unlocker tool
But like everyone said you should search because all of this is included in the tutorial here just choose the option 3 for the AT&T version and continue

Yeah, they are outdated. Like the bootloader thread, its outdated, but its still the way to do it. Theres no newer way. After that, root it. After you root it just install cwm from the market don't follow any threads on it.

Like everyone has said you gotta search. A sign you haven't even looked in those threads is the fact you said they're outdated even though they have responses that are very recent, indicating people with your version and firmware might be commenting. It's a lot of reading and it should be because if you mess it up you could brick your phone. Read everything you can and then read it again. I can guarantee you can unlock, get clockworkmod working, and flash a ROM onto your phone (my guarantee is limited to the US AT&T atrix)
Thanx for everything guys- now i root first or unlock bootloader?

I see you're still not too good at searching the forum...
How about you just follow this guide?

Is there any app available to root my Samsung Fascinate?
I've tried many one click apps, but have had no success. Using a computer is not an option to root the phone at this time for me since my computer does not work.
From what I know and have read, you're pretty much stuck if you can't get access to a computer. I've never heard of people having luck with those one click apps for the Fascinate. Just borrow a friend's computer for a few minutes using droidstyle's guide and you'll be good
Sounds a bit disappointing as I've been trying to root the phone since I first got it lol Went through a lot of tutorials before way back on my pc, but kept getting stuck with no root.
Thanks for the info and link! Much appreciated!

I have the most basic knowledge of rooting and have only done it on an Eris which had a 1-click method.
My i-717 came rooted.
I have now managed to temporarily bootloop my Note twice through Android Tuner Free so I promise once I fix this I'm deleting it.
Long story short waiting at the court house for 5 hours, began mindlessly clicking around the settings I (thought) I understood.
Now neither wifi nor data will connect to the internet longer than a couple minutes, usually at startup.
No idea how I did this and my assumptiom that there was a nandroid image was incorrect (I've made one now though).
I know I'm an idiot, please don't shame me

You should be able to uninstall the app and all the settings you tweeked resort to default.
I will try that and update on how it goes. Thanks!

Wow thank you so much that was super simple! Can't figure out how to thank on xda app but, you know.
Not that you necessarily know this but it didn't fix this thing where the phone repeatedly goes to the pass code lock screen whenever something's loading. Much more minor of a thing tho.
Oh, so many questions. Again not something you would necessarily know but is there any sort of resources to help me understand the rooting process more? I want to understand what kernals are and things like that. Thanks!

Read over that, and I'll explain the rooting process tomorrow when I have time. Unless someone else beats me to it.
This lock issue... when is it happening? What is loading that makes it pop-up?
