It would have been convenient but the files are easy to find when using either the forum search function or Google. I found them rather quickly. I found them in one of Adrynalyn's threads. :)

what's the scoop on the "it has come to my attention" warning? this is still OK to use or do we need to wait on some further alterations?!
[Fascinate Android Development] neh4pres:
what does fix permissions even do?

sent from my frozen yogurt filled fascinate!
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
It's all in the first post. The only additional scoop is that I'm the only one who is showing interest in fixing it, and I am very far behind in my schoolwork.

If anyone else wants to work on it, feel free to check out JT's github for the source files.

And by "everything works fine" I mean, everything works fine if you follow the exact instructions in the OP, using non-corrupted files, and nothing goes wrong during any of the steps. Using themes are always a risk for force-closes because not all themers know how to write robust update-scripts.

Those not using the lagfix seem to have more difficulties with automount than those that do, because there is something is not jiving with stock settings in the kernel that the CWM files were packed into. If you use the lagfix, it correctly mounts the partitions during set up (except for dbdata, you have to manually mount it from the mount menu).
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
All righty, I wasn't sure if there was a pause in using this, pending adjustments, or a full "don't use it" warning like the clockwork issue.

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like the Galaxy S is nearing the end of its life cycle, everyone is sensing the delays in dev time. Everything has been on the community here and you guys have done stellar work.

I'm always curious if I sent your post to Verizon/Samsung/Google if they'd even have anyone that knew what that meant. I suspect not. You guys are awesome and are the reason this phone works at all.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Good news comin....
[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
great job.............
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
TEASE :p Anticipation.............
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Well, I think jt might have knocked out the last of the permissions/mounting issues.

Unless he beats me to it, I'll have it posted as soon as I can.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
NIIIIIICE. Man you two are unstoppable. And Adrynalyne is teasing us with a hint at the possibility of something new from him soon too. It's Christmas year round with this great group of devs.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
JT's doing the hard work. I'm just pestering him into doing it :D
[Fascinate Android Development] mzrdisi:
My pants are tight in anticipation!
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
Hey, whatever works. He just updated his kernels with the missing fix_permissions and nandroid-md5.sh scripts. Good times.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Yeah, he did (and it silently flashes over your recovery too). He made some interesting changes to the way that recovery is handled, especially when it comes to the voodoo lagfix.

Just attempted to odin to stock and flash it, but I got some interesting results, so I will be doing some more testing. I'm not sure how this is going to play out because it would almost seem as if you would need to have a voodoo and a nonvoodoo recovery.

Will keep updating as I find out.
[Fascinate Android Development] drnihili:
So for those of us who followed the OP instructions, we *should* be able to just flash JT's kernel without redoing everything else right? Especially if we're running voodoo?
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
I flashed jt's newest voodoo kernel last night and have not had any problems yet. The sd card speed up is definitely nice for opening the gallery. Everything else seems to be nice too. App drawer and apps seem to open a bit quicker. I'll be interested to see what GizmoDroid has found. I've tried all normal operations with this kernel with no problems. Will try nandroid backups and restores next to see how that goes. Boot ups after the first initial boot after flashing seem to be much quicker too.
[Fascinate Android Development] sunder74:
Same here except I flashed the non voodoo over EB01 debloated/deodexed. Smooth so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] cpark_12:
Yea...my phone likes jt's kernels the best. And now that I pay attention to it, the gallery does open up a lot quicker than normal. Virtually no lag at all...pure awesomeness!
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
I always give a kernel or set up at least 2-3 days before really evaluating it. I just wanted to give my initial impressions right away. Expecting everything to be super fantastic right away is like getting on the scale to check your weight, running around the room twice and getting back on the scale expecting to see you lost 10 pounds :p
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Flashing JT's new kernel/recovery over an existing install works fine. The way it's currently set up is that if you have RFS partitions (like say you are at stock or on jt's non-voodoo kernel), if you flash the voodoo kernel, it will automatically convert your /system and /data partitions to ext4.

If you are on a voodoo set up, and flash the non-voodoo kernel/recovery, then recovery will "work". Enough for you to flash the voodoo kernel, that is, but it's kind of flaky on other stuff.

Then there is something else broken too, because using adb during CWM doesn't work under certain conditions (and a couple other things too, but I can't remember them because I was testing in the middle of the night). Also, if you are using the voodoo kernel but disable the lagfix, some things stop working too.

So, unlike the last update, I'd say this recovery is safe to flash over existing setups. And if you are on non-voodoo and want to convert, just flash the voodoo kernel and it will do it automatically.

Coming from unrooted stock to a voodoo'd -> superclean... It's doable, but it's not as clean as I would like it to be.

I think the way that JT is wanting it to work is that the non-voodoo kernel can be used as the base for the recovery, but at this moment, it is not fully compatible.

Why can't we just dump non-voodoo support and call it a day? :) I've never really understood why it's scary for anyone, other than a few months ago, there were warnings to not run voodoo if you were a n00b.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
I agree about dumping non-voodoo support. Running voodoo is much better IMO and very simple and there is practically nothing to worry about.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
And really, the bad thing for most people is that voodoo = ext4 and vice versa. But that's not true. Project Voodoo goes into a lot of other areas as well, especially in the areas of sound/color.

With the kernel source code, like we have now, if a kernel dev wants to make a kernel that supports ext4 (like JT's non-voodoo kernel), then the project voodoo stuff isn't even necessary for it. They could provide their own method for converting the partitions. How confusing would that be for people that think ext4 = voodoo?

I'd much rather see a kernel developer working on making their voodoo kernel/recoveries fully working with both rfs and ext4 partitions, then to see this split between voodoo/nonvoodoo.

And developers who want to pioneer and not even use the project voodoo code base can work on making awesome stuff without worrying about the public perception that their kernel isn't able to handle ext4 partitions.
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Where is the CWM package??

I only see

CWM-Recovery 4-8 Odin Package * Coming Soon (link doesn't go anywhere)

CI500_VZW_EB01_FROYO_REL.tar.md5

atlas_v2.2.pit
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Links were removed until I could get a handle on what was going on. Some people were reporting that they were losing access to their data partition after flashing.

I'm closer to figuring it out, but I want to be confident that everything is working correctly.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Pretty sure I found the solution to the bootlooping after wiping data:

https://github.com/GizmoDroid/fascinate_initramfs/commit/a193c327eb08bafb4d23c325ea6014f4b6a70fab

Hopefully this takes care of the remaining permissions/mounting problems. We will see whenever someone gets a chance to compile it.

In the meantime, for the more adventurous, I've had success adding the following lines to the update script in the ROM installers:

Amend

Edify

I was able to do a full system/data/dbdata/cache wipe and then flash a rom, with no errors!
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
I'm assuming its not the cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar. I flashed this + the EC01 radio + OTB kernel last night and went ahead and followed your method. My phone is running well.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what folks were running when it happened, because it was only under certain circumstances on the first boot after flashing cwm. If it happened to you, you'd know it :)

I'm happy to say that I have a fully functioning CWM on my phone now... but I need some more testing to say it with confidence.
[Fascinate Android Development] syn87:
Ok so I am having some trouble with this. I have read your post but saw that the cwm was removed. I followed everything except the cwm part and flashed the CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09_RED.tar.md5 , the one that adrynalyne had posted. Anyhow, when i boot in to cwm, I am not able to run reset cache and not much seems to work. When i just reboot, the lady voice telling me that it is partitioning is missing and goes straight to the rom. The rom seems to be messed up as well as rom manager is able to get access from superuser (loaded su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19 by adrynalyne) but when it tries to do anything, it says that it does not have access to su commands. I cannot back up or flash a rom. Is the cwm the culprit or am i missing something?
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Oh boy. I hope someone is able to give you a more thorough answer because I'm going to bed.

CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09_RED.tar.md5 is ancient and does not support froyo. ROM manager is not fully compatible with the Fascinate at this time.

[Fascinate Android Development] enserio:
I shall be patient, but I miffed up.

Rooted fine, d/l'd RM, and then decided to flash its recovery. UGH. So then I put the CWM-all on my sdcard and flash....you know what happened.

It aborted and gave my the business about amend vs edify.

I was hoping to flash a decent rom on this thing for the gf, but I guess I'll have to wait, right?

btw, I'm on a mac - so I use Heimdall to flash using the computer. Any help would be appreciated.

I tend to read very deeply into things when I don't have a absolute undertook understanding.

[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
Your recovery is only overwritten if the ROM/KERNEL/MOD author includes it in his update script. I don't think Blackhole does but you would do better to inquire over there.

And honestly, just keep a copy of the "good" CWM around and Odin it in if yours gets overwritten. It isn't that big of a deal.

[Fascinate Android Development] Robtao:
So I am looking to update with debloat/debing ED01 with a reasonably working CWR red (I think.) I believe I have cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX working on dxc's debloat/debing ODIN flashed ROM.

cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX

cwm-recovery-ALL

I will update when the real fixed CWM is ready, but

Should

I wait, or which of the CWMs above should I use in the meantime?
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
with this flurry of updates, the confusion clearly is back.

we need a rollup patch badly. there's such a blitz of new stuff mingled with old stuff and now apparently the real 2.2 is actually out there, so there will be MORE stuff.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Yep. Also, Gizmo's decision to rip the beginning-of-the-month version out of the OP makes this thread useless instead of useful to point people to as the "best current option". (Yes, 4/8 was a giant mess -- it shouldn't even be mentioned in a first post.) Please put it back!
[Fascinate Android Development] drnihili:

Is it okay to Odin the atlas_v2.2.pit file with the DJ09 package if we are starting from scratch in order to OTA to ED01 to get the newest radio?

In other words, can I follow the steps but in step 1 replace the EB01 Froyo.tar with DL09.tar package?
[Fascinate Android Development] GrainOsand:
No, I dont think using the atlas 2.2! Pit file with DL09 is a good idea. I believe adryn made that pit specific to 2.2 just odin EB01 W/Pit, check repartition then DL09 and OTA to ED01. If your looking for a clean slate.

Hi. I am a sgs user living in vietnam struggling to restore my imei.

Okay, you guys can blame me.

I removed my efs folder accidently without backup.

Here is what’s going on.

My phone works perfectly on any froyo roms but not on eclairs.

When I check my product code with sgs tools, I see “Not Active” instead of product code.

And, of course, I’ve got this so called generic imei.

I checked my nv_data.bin with Ultraedit and here is what it shows

00188020	00 58 53 4f 00 00 00 00	.XSO….

I know it looks very abnormal…..

Is there anyone who has any ideas about imei and product code restore?

(In windows registry, my product code had been I9000HKAXSO before it went bad)

I really want to restore my imei so I can bring my phone over to Germany!!!

Well it was mostly with their rebates -- they will go to great lengths not to redeem them. Maybe they've gotten better about that, but they were pretty infamous for that years ago.

there is no silverlight on android so no way around it fella.

[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
What is the app? If the files are contained within the APK file, it's just a matter of extracting the APK. If they are NOT contained in the APK, then as they are viewed, they are cached somewhere. Find the cache files for this app, and you find the pictures... Or you could just use Google and save your money. :-)

can you full size the photos? if so, full size it and screenshot it!

That would be good for one screen, but I wouldn't imagine it'd scroll very well, and if you scale it down, you'd lose some of the quality. But nice suggestion either way.

the basics are the same , its based on kexec ...so if it works for X10 it will work for mini / mini pro as well (but might needs some modifications). And with this you can have a CUSTOM kernel (this is what was lacking so far - you did have a custom OS but due to kernel limitations of SE - not all the features were available to us - like no native teethering or FPS cap ) with CUSTOM OS.
