I decided to skip the ROM for the time being and just flash Radio and Kernel.

I had to push the radio twice. The first time it did not improve the GPS. After I flashed the kernel (voodoo) I went back and pushed the radio file a 2nd time. Rebooted and and now my GPS locks as fast as I can get GPS Status open, and like others have said that's inside.

So far my impression of battery life is that it is better. Before I could practically watch it go down as I used the phone. Now after some light use it's still at 99%

WiFi seems about the same (1 bar in my bedroom) but it's always worked fine with only one bar.

Thanks for all the work by Adry and the other devs and the testers. All of you rock.

Can't wait to see the full ROM.
[Fascinate Android Development] TheBDub:
I had to push the radio twice as well. When I did though, wow! I took the GPS for a test drive today, and decided to drive around Portland, OR for a couple hours with the GPS.

With EB01 or DL09 radios, GPS was spotty at best. Most of the time the GPS would put me on a road parallel to me then jump back and forth. Well, needless to say it connects with EC01 right away and keeps a constant lock, and did for the entire drive! Thanks Adryn!
[Fascinate Android Development] nateclassic:
Wow, amazing stuff. My gps locked on almost instantly to within two meters...inside my house. it's never worked at all before, with any radio or rom or anything. Things just work better. Thanks man! Now there's nothing wrong with this phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I'm assuming I cannot just use Nameless v3 EC10 rom instead?
[Fascinate Android Development] nateclassic:
LOLfests, you can use whatever rom and kernel. There's a guy running SC 2.9.2 and another running darkrevenge (I think). A long as you follow the steps in the first post you should be good.
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Flashed the radio yesterday & everything went smooth. Gps locks in 2-5 sec. & is more accurate indoors & on the road. Thank you Adrynalyne, hope your daughter is still doing better.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
I haven't been able to flash yet so I can't say. In my case the bug you are referring to only happened when I used certain Fascinate Froyo kernels. I experienced this when using any of the kernels built before the source code was released as well as imnuts current kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I was reading about the new Clockwork and you shouldn't see the puzzle disable/enable in the new CWR... I still see it though. Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
So, has anyone heard how close we are to getting this Super ROM from the team? I don't get in IRC that often so I haven't really heard anything.

Nandroid restore

Is a nandroid restore to eb01 sufficient or do I really need to do the heimdall back to eb01?
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
I have an eb01 nandroid - I still did follow the instructions posted... I wanted to do it the way the instructions posted so i wouldnt encounter any problems... and have not so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
Is it safe to heimdall back to stock or do I need to use ODIN? Any change to the posted instructions if I use heimdall instead?
[Fascinate Android Development] dco717:
Could I just flash the kernal??
[Fascinate Android Development] CNemo7539:
This all really cool! Thanks developers for hard work!

I've installed radio only and everything works just fine with jts EC10 voodoo.

However, could somebody who installed complete ROM to tell me if there any functional changes/improvements in TW apps. I'm particularly interested in dealer, mail, calendar. Any other comments on apps are welcome as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] rw9:
Sweetness. More updates from the great beyond. Thankfully we have you guys on our side to keep the new stuff rolling in - otherwise Verizon would have us running outdated ROMs until they discontinued the device.... Thanks again boss :D
[Fascinate Android Development] zr0ko0l:
hello, after flashing back to EB01 and then odin cw fix, and kernel and EC01 radio, im still noticing that under about phone the build number still says SCH-1500.EB01, should this make a difference or should it say EC01?
[Fascinate Android Development] rw9:
I'm curious to see if the email app has been fixed to integrate with Exchange any better. I gave up and went to Touchdown a few months back, but out of pure principle I'd like to know if they can actually handle things like GAL lookups and calendar invites properly now. After running with a BB for years, nothing seems to come close when talking about email integration...
[Fascinate Android Development] elarson006:
flashed modem only on top of EC10 voodoo kernel, SC 2.9.1

able to tell the difference instantly! better data speeds at my house that has **** service, better battery life when running 3G in low signal.

Thanks!

can't wait to see what comes next
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
Mine says EC01. Did you wipe cache/dalvik before flashing the rom?

Or did you flash the EC01 rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] ajd88:
I am getting significant download and upload speed increase with new radio. Just compared with my gf's phone who I havent put the new radio on yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrtonee:
mine saids under build sch-1500.ec01
[Fascinate Android Development] Xanius:
I don't know what you mean by handling calendar invites properly, but it doesn't support contact lookups on the server yet. Just what's stored in your personal contact list on exchange.
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
In my spare parts battery history under network usage I have "0" at almost 100% and its considerably more than the Android System. When I click on the "0" it shows a settings forceclosure.... What gives?
[Fascinate Android Development] tripacer99:
Decided to only odin the modem...probably not the best idea.

It was nice at first, but over the past day or so I've had my signal strength slowly drop to 0 bars, then drop to 1x, and then finally get no signal whatsoever (blue cancel icon comes up). I usually have 3-4 bars within my house at any time.

I've tried *228, turning on/off airplane mode, wiping cache & dalvik cache, pulling battery for a few minutes and turning back on, but no results yet. And keep in mind that I'm stationary the entire time, and not even touching the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] dco717:
What would happen if I just flash the kernal via odin
[Fascinate Android Development] CrucialBT:
The same EXACT thing happened to me while I was out yesterday. Finally decided to turn on airplane mode for about 2 minutes then turned it back off and 3G service came back instantly and has stayed. I haven't gotten these stellar results everyone else seems to be getting though. I plan to odin'ing the modem to my phone again later tonight when I get home though and see if that helps. I thought I read someone said a second push helped.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Nothing exciting. They're kernels that have been around for a while already.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hatespawn:
This is awesome. Very fast and smooth. Much better signal and GPS is finally fixed.
[Fascinate Android Development] chefthomas99:
Anyone?
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Why won't it save my settings from reboot? My wallpaper reverts back to the LP and all of my widgets are gone. I had to uninstall then reinstall PlayerPro for it to show back up :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] tripacer99:
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm going to do that later on as well...I usually get around 20-ish hours of life with little/moderate usage. This morning at 9, I took it off the charger at 100%. It's now 1 and I've only got 5% left. Absolutely ridiculous o_O
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Sounds like dbdata corruption; time for a deep purge...
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Bummer. Full wipe should fix it?
[Fascinate Android Development] zr0ko0l:
i didnt wipe anything, i normally don't and everything runs fine. under BUILD NUMBER SCH-I500.EB01/ BASEBAND VERSION S:i500.04 V.EC01. i only installed radio, sf_EB01 voodoo, sc 2.9.2, any suggestions?
[Fascinate Android Development] lucky13:
Im getting the same problems. Running sc 2.9.2v, with jt1134 4/8 kernel, any guide on how to fix it?
[Fascinate Android Development] xjestersdeadx:
Odin'd the radio only, and GPS difference is incredible. The real test will be how consistent it is. My GPS can lock on in 1 second one day, and the next I have to reboot twice. But inside the lock on three different times was literally instant.
[Fascinate Android Development] CrucialBT:
If you only odin'd the modem then this is correct. The baseband refers to the modem installed. The build number refers to the Rom. Since you didn't install the rom and are still using the SC, that looks correct.
[Fascinate Android Development] CrucialBT:
My battery only dropped about 10% overnight. So I'm definitely not suffering from that battery issue you are. The only problem I had was the signal issue and I've been 2 bars strong all day today. My GPS still isn't as wonderful as everyone else's is either though.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Looks fine to me. You only flashed the radio and your baseband is ec01.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Mines fine now. I went back into CWR did a full data wipe then re installed my rom of choice.
[Fascinate Android Development] lucky13:
I will have to try it again tonight, hopefully that fixes it.
[Fascinate Android Development] zr0ko0l:
ok awesome :) thanks for your guys help and quick response, everyone here is beyond awesome!

Anyone else have a problem where hitting the back button doesn't take you out of the app just cycles back though everything you've done for the day? It reopened apps that I closed since this morning.

What is everyone flashing for signal and gps???
[Fascinate Android Development] neo4uo:
The ec01 radio file with odin
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
It's the 2.1 version. Just leave it open for a bit and it will update by itself to the newest version.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zacisblack:
If you're rushing this and not following all of the steps correctly then it won't work. Also you must install the kernel posted in the OP to avoid boot loops. I had a boot loop when I tried it the first time but ended up starting over and following directions carefully and no problems thus far.
[Fascinate Android Development] jjcas15:
What would happen if I just flashed the radio via Odin and didnt do the other stuff? Just curious? Happy with how my phone is right now. Not sure if I wanna mess with it.... Just curious.
[Fascinate Android Development] hoppermi:
Don't wipe, or you will get bootloops. Odin eb01 will wipe your phone. Then flash ec01 as the op states.

This is the best rom I have flash on my phone. GPS locks on right away

Flash player works awesome on this rom, now I'm able to see all adverstisment when I visit xda. Only hack I installed on this rom is the camera apk to use power button to take pictures. This rom is fast responsive and I haven't had any fc issues at all. I want to say thanks to Adrynalyne
[Fascinate Android Development] mkarps:
I flashed Imnuts 100uv kernal and everything went fine in case anyone likes that one.
[Fascinate Android Development] akaine2001:
gonna flash this on my Cricket Fascinate to see if I get any better signal
[Fascinate Android Development] Mubassmastajoe:
Slowest download times I've ever had. Even tried doing the modem twice, a 42mb file is 55% done after 2 hours... I use to get pretty fast speeds, I don't know why this is different for me. I followed gizmo's directions to a T. Checked all numbers,baseband and everything looks good. Not sure how to fix
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I have noticed screen unresponsiveness on bootup on this rom. If I don't wait until the media scan gets at least part way through it is really sluggish.

On a positive note on all EB01 roms I would be scrolling on something and all of a sudden it would take off and scroll at warp speed to the top of bottom of whatever I was reading. So far that hasn't happened with EC01 (knocking on wood).

EC01 rom & radio

EB16 voodoo kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] hazenberger:
Count me in as having extreme battery issues after only flashing the modem via Odin. I'm coming from SC 2.9.2 and was using jt's 4/8 voodoo kernel. I was also getting awful signal as the day wore on and noticed my time without signal was in the high 70's. I'm going to try to flash the whole new ROM according to the OP directions and report back.
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
That's always been the case for me, hence the hatred that most people share for the media scanner.

Might want to clean up your sdcard a bit. Sometimes, thumbnails and cache folders contain hundreds of useless files that the mediascanner tries to look through.

I would copy the whole card to your computer, delete everything on the card, then copy back what you want to keep on there.

Also, it helps to put a blank file with the name ".nomedia" into any folders that you don't need it to scan.
[Fascinate Android Development] finakechi:
By some freak force of idiocy I actually managed to permabrick my phone with just flashing the radio. *le sigh*

Back to my D1 I guess...... : /

Edit: Just to clarify, I am blaming no one but myself.
[Fascinate Android Development] tripacer99:
Strange. Did you accidentally use the phone setting instead of PDA to flash?

Are you gonna explain how you did that or what? Maybe someone could learn from your mistake

Eventually closed Odin because I had to leave.

I am now stuck on the

[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
That's not a perma brick. That's a "go make a jig" screen.
[Fascinate Android Development] finakechi:
Ahh, I am assuming I should google "how to make a jig"?
[Fascinate Android Development] godihatework:
Battery pull. Plug your phone into usb while holding down volume down. Reflash modem. Profit.

That symbol means you have a bad odin flash.
[Fascinate Android Development] dfa7:
I've read a number of posts here regarding much improved GPS results after just flashing ec01_radio.tar.

I'm Rooted - Voodoo-ed - EC10SuperClean_292x_DXC.tar.md5.tar + just odin'd ec01_radio.tar and must admit NO difference with lock on times. Still very flaky!

Can anyone with lil more experience tell me what difference between "eb01modem,tar" and "ec01_radio.tar".

They both look identical to my novice eyes.
[Fascinate Android Development] finakechi:
Tried this didn't work. Nothing seems too, reinstalled samsung driver as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] godihatework:
Does your phone go into download mode? If so, have you tried rebooting your computer? Last (easy) thing I would try is switching usb ports.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
There are a number of jig threads in the Captivate forums. Check there.
[Fascinate Android Development] BeeDubs:
Guys,

So has anyone noticed a difference between SC2.9.2 w/ EC10 kernel and EC01 Radio....versus this ROM?
[Fascinate Android Development] finakechi:
No it doesnt go into download mode : /

I am at the Phone ! Computer screen. And It wont do anything.

Tried multiple computers too

Win764 and Win732
[Fascinate Android Development] godihatework:
So when you battery pull, you keep it out correct? If not, then do so and don't put it in until you have completed the odin.

If you plug in and get that screen with the battery out, it's likely that you will need to build a jig.

[Fascinate Android Development] xjestersdeadx:
I flashed just the radio to SC2.9.2, and GPS performance seems to have improved. In my case, it looks like my "bars" have gone from solid two to fluctuating between one and two, however, the performance itself of 3G seems to be better than it was on two bars with the old radio.

Some other people have said their bars have increased, I think its all on a case by case basis. But my GPS lock on has definitely improved.

[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Make sure you are using a powered usb port. It needs to have enough power to run with just usb power and no battery in order to flash properly.

will i nd TiBu to back up my apps before odining to EB01 b.c it seems i have lost busybox somehow and can't find it anywhere and Tibu wont let me dl their busybox from the app... also is this rom rooted since rerooting isnt in the steps??
[Fascinate Android Development] ezas:
At first I thought my phone was great (flash radio and kernel over SC 2.92) and while battery life is better GPS is just as flaky and Wifi connections is hit and miss. Also soft buttons are back to being like on Eclair. Some times slow to respond and other times very laggy. I'm voodoo'ed and I checked Quadrant scores to make sure I was Still voodoo'd. i've had a couple of FC's. It might just be a rogue app because the problems come and go.

Note: Not complaining I have has some great SC installs. For awhile I was bouncing back and forth between AOSP and SC every couple of days. But for some reason this last one has been the most wonky.

I'll try something different later tonight. Most likely I will try the full ROM using Gizmos how to recover from any error method. I haven't' rebuilt phone from the ground up for five days. Getting lazy.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssmaster:
I updated only the radio, nothing else, and lost all my recent calls and text messages, lost my launcherpro unlock (but all my icons were still in the same place, even tho it changed from a 4X5 grid back to the stock 4x4 grid (weird)), and most programs welcome me for the first time yet remember my login settings and stuff. Is this supposed to happen?
[Fascinate Android Development] diggz976:
Uh-MAZE-ING! Flashed only the radio on top of a recently Gizmo'd (fresh start) SC 2.9.2 with JT's 4/8 Voodoo and NitroDark4. Standard cache/dalvik wipe. It wasn't entirely smooth until i reflashed Jt's kernel (standard wiping applied) but now, this is the best this phone has ever been.

Battery life is tops, phone signal at home where intermittent 1 bar was "good" is now solid and GPS is #winning! Thanks Adryn + crew! Can't wait for the community rom!
[Fascinate Android Development] Coolsaber57:
Just flashed the Radio only. I don't know what it is about all my android devices, but every time I flash something, it MUST give me a heart attack.

First time, Odin loaded the modem and got to about 99% before getting stuck. I had to close the program and then re-open. Then it wouldn't read my phone while it was still in download mode. So I pulled the battery. Tried to boot up into Download mode again, but only got the Phone...!...Computer screen.

Took the battery out again, held "down" and plugged it into my computer, which forced download mode and allowed me to successfully flash the new radio.

What crazy 10 minutes!

Anyway, the radio seems to give me a little more reception at my house as well as give a little better speed on 3g.
[Fascinate Android Development] cordoni:
Radio only

I re-downloaded and flashed the radio for a second time and wow! :eek:

The difference is amazing. Almost instant GPS lockon, accurate to the point of about 2 meters. Showed me standing two meters from my deck! Even get GPS lockon indoors. I could never do that before. :p

My 3G signal is better too. Went from virtually no useable data connection in my appartment (about 128k) to .5-.6mb. Yay! Call larity is also somewhat better, but not much. Signal strenth went from 0-2 bars to 3-4 bars.

Very pleased! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Holy ****! It found me within 1 meter... after my entire time with this phone and my home location it has always been around 3400(2 miles) meters off. Wow! This rules!

Radio over SC 2.9.2

used Odin to flash just the radio over superclean 2.9.2 (NON-VOODOO). Works like a charm. GPS much quicker. 3g may be a little faster. Can''t tell any difference in phone quality; but, mine was always fine anyway.
