[Fascinate General] pscpa:
Thanks for the reply cooldman. My main issue is that Heimdall or Odin will not "see" the phone when it is in download mode. I believe this is because the drivers do not recognize the phone ( I get a "USB Device not Recognized" error ) no matter how many times I reload drivers. If someone could help me get the win 7 box (I have tried multiple computers) to recognize the phone I know how to push another rom to fix the issue.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
why do some have the expectation to be spoon fed when all the information needed lies in the stickies? just saying, not trying to be rude,, glad you got it figured out!!
[Fascinate General] jthomas84:
Thanks

Awesome post. Thanks much!
[Fascinate General] cooldman224:
Yeah I had a problem a few times with Odin recognizing the phone, the issue was the drivers. I used the one from the OP of this current thread: Sch-i500 USB (I can't post the link because "To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links.")I would test with Odin because Heimdall doesn't really tell you if it can see the phone from what I can remember. You can also hear the noise when a USB device is connected even in Download Mode.

Oh I was not expecting to spoon fed I just thought it would be as easy as rooting my Droid Incredible. Stupid samsung! I expected the community to be helpful as well to noobs. Now I have two different CM7 phones under my experience belt.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Ahh I see...yea samsung is completely different than htc. Atleast you got it dialed now my friend!!:)
[Fascinate General] cooldman224:
Well if you can get to Download Mode then you are still in good shape. I flashed the global version of the fascinate ROM (which was totally wrong I wasn't even able to connect to Verizon) and was still able to get CM7 on it through Odin and Heimdall. This was because I was able to get into Download Mode.

Maybe you try starting your own thread.

Like I said download the Sch-i500 driver at the first post of this thread. Just do a Ctrl F - Sch-i500. Install that (first remove the fascinate usb cable).

Hope that helps, once you are able to have Odin see the phone reply back.
[Fascinate General] pscpa:
I uninstalled the current USB driver and installed the one from the first post in this thread. "Driver Software Installation" box poped up and said "RAID Controller X No Driver Found". Started up ODIN v1.83, plugged in phone, put phone into download mode (yellow triangle), still not showing up in ODIN....
[Fascinate General] cooldman224:
Hmm Raid Controller... that doesn't sound right at all. Try using a different computer. What usb cable are you using? Did usb EVER work?
[Fascinate General] pscpa:
I have tried 3 different computers (2 win 7 and one XP) with the exact same results. Also have tried multiple USB cables and USB ports on each computer. So strange....USB did work enough to get original root but it was intermittent
[Fascinate General] ironhead73:

[Fascinate General] miamislim:
Great guide, saved my butt a few times
[Fascinate General] Shenaniganry:
So I tried using this guide in unbricking my Fascinate, but I can't seem to get the phone into download mode. I've seen it mentioned that I need the original USB cable. Will a substitute mirco usb not suffice?
[Fascinate General] Shenaniganry:
NVM, found an alternate way of putting the phone into download mode, ran Heimdall, which then allowed me to put the phone into download mode the described way, and then ran Heimdall again, which ended up fixing everything. Thanks!
[Fascinate General] :
Why you're unable to give "thanks" in a sticky thread is beyond me. Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to put together the most helpful thread I've found on this phone.

Each phone is different, and it's sometimes tough to get all the particulars down without reading so much your eyes bleed. I found this thread last week when I first picked up my Fascinate after reading for about 3 hours trying to find what I needed.

Thanks again, and I'll find another thread where you've posted so I can hit the"thanks" button ;)

Comp cant see phone

I tried to voodoo lagfix update it but now my computer cant find my phone so ODIN can fix it.

It keeps booting into recovery mode and asking to 1.reboot 2.run update.zip 3.factory restore 4.wipe cache

Whenever I go into download mode I get a window that says "USB device not recognized" and every time I try to load from the sd card I get a signature error and it aborts.

Someone please help.

WHat of the listed files will take me back to pure stock 2.2 so I can get to OTA the 2.3 and still be under warranty. I am soft bricked from the OTA 2.3 update, and I have to fight my way back or send the phone back as warranty. They are wiling to ship me a certified replacement, but if I can push it back I can not be phone-less for 2-3 days.

[Fascinate General] rampage221:
Hey guys i semi bricked my fascinate last night while trying to root it. I was using section 6 from the other thread to root my phone but everytime i tried to with odin it took like 40mins and eventually failed. I realized i failed to put the su-2.3.6.1.x prior on the sd card prior to the root. Everything iv been trying to do to restore it has seemed to fail. Is there any thing i can do to restore my phone back to factory with the original gingerbread?
[Fascinate General] deafptl4ever:
BRICKED

I am not even able to get the download screen to pop up anymore. When in Odin it says its connected and yellow. It starts to Odin everything and then at the end fails. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks:confused:
[Fascinate General] deafptl4ever:
Big oopsie!

Hi everyone. I have been flashing ever since G1 came out and have the Fascinate and Charge. The Fascinate I use for playing around with different roms to test out. I went to Odin the Skank GB rom and accidently used the Charger Skank GB rom. It went all the way through Odin and then failed at the end. Now I can not even get the Download mode to show up. I know its not the USB cord as the Odin still shows my phone is hooked up even without it being in Download mode. When I turn on the phone nothing happens exept the keys light up. They only go off if I pull the battery. Any help will be appreciated. I don't want a brick when I can sell it and make some much needed money off of it. Thanks. :confused::eek::(

Cant Get Files thanks to...

Thanks to the wonderful :mad: work of the FBI, the IPR and DOJ, the files that were originally posted on megaupload.com are no longer available.

Does anyone have any, if not all of the files that were included in that archive?

Would you be willing to upload and post them again for those of us who desperately need to flash and fix our phones? (been trying to fix mine for a month now, still havent gathered the needed files.)

I personally am interested in the Heimdall EB01 Files

Thank you in advance.

Once again, any of the following files SPECIFICALLY for the Verizon Samsung Fascinate:

atlas_v2.2.pit

factoryfs.frs

Kernel=zImage

param.lfs

Primary Bootloader=boot.bin

Secondary Bootloader=slb.bin

Cache=cache.rfs

Database Data=dbdata.rfs

Modem=modem.bin

Recovery=recovery.bin
[Fascinate General] mkuehl06:
couple of questions for you,

1) are you against odin? because that to me is the easiest way to fix the phone.

2) why would you want to go all the way back to eb01 when eh03 is available?

and just a heads up, ota's have softbricked alot of user's phones.
[Fascinate General] grizcreative:
1) I am not against odin, I am just more familiar with Heimdall and have used it several times, but if I had all the files needed for odin, I would give it a shot.

2) I wouldnt be opposed to going higher in software revision, I was just following the instructions in the first post, and I am not all to familiar with the software revisions for this phone.

3) I ultimately want to go back to CM7, but right now my file system is corrupt or missing, and I need to do a forced restore, so that is why I am going all the way back to the beginning, but if there is a shortcut I can take, that will restore my filesystem and get me back to CM7, that would be awesome

Thanks

So how do I get into download mode then or are there any other ways? I have tried to unplug the battery and hold volume down and plug in the USB and vice versa and nothing. WTF is up with Samsung Galaxy phones I never have good luck on these
[Fascinate General] jawman27:
If none of the traditional methods will work as noted in Droidstyle's Guide, you could always use a jig. You can pick one up for a few bucks on Amazon.
[Fascinate General] GrandMstrBud:
I ordered one so we'll see if these things actually work. I'll find out on Thursday
[Fascinate General] GrandMstrBud:
Well bought the JIG on amazon and guess what it doesn't work. It must be truly bricked. I tested the JIG on another phone just to see if it would go into download mode and it does just not on this one. I think what happened was the USB port was half bad and during an ODIN update it lost it or at least that's what I'm guessing happened anyway.
[Fascinate General] phtechparker:

[Fascinate General] enjou:
Thanks! I am now unbricked

I foolishly went from CM7 stable to CM10 Nightly without doing any research whatsoever. Apparently it re-partitioned everything and bricked my phone. Bad on me.

Once a complete recovery image was located I was able to follow the Heimdall recovery section to un-brick it.

And being a complete and utter noob, I cannot locate the all-important-Thanks button.:good:

... And now I found Thanks. Did I have to post a reply before I could thank someone? Ah well.

Dear, which apks I remove the phone without harming it works?

For example, it makes it without MOTOBLUR applications and any other "rubbish ".

We can also see many services running in the background but without knowing what they actually do ... know if we could assess their need.

I use Titanium Backup, but if there is a program as good as this make referrals.

Some times I use SystemApp Remover.

Hi Community,

:(:confused:

Got a Desire where I've rooted it with Unrevoked3 yesterday. Unrevoked worked fine, without any issues as usual.

Then had 8GB sdcard formatted and partitioned to EXT3 and FAT32. Loaded a custom ROM on the FAT partition and booted to Recovery. Wiped all and install ROM and rebooted, ended up with the same ROM. Did this a couple of times and then memory card could not be mounted to phone.

Memory card still reads fine on PC when loaded to a memory card reader. Tried the same card in Desire HD, same thing, cannot mount.

Anyone seen this issue before?

Got a 2GB card in the Desire now and it reads fine, even on the DHD.

Your help is appreciated.
[Desire General] aca85:
Try to re-format the Sdcard using Gparted or MiniTool Partition.

Note : u should create a Fat32 partiton first (type primary) and then an Ext2.3.4 (also primary)
[Desire General] kepz:
Thanks for the reply aca.

I've reformatted a couple of times now (redoing the partitions and then making the whole card a Primary FAT32), was still not showing.

The card was reading before it started to play up. There are a few messages displaying in Recovery when doing a wipe though.

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

EDIT: Did format it again, making sure sdcard was formatted for primary FAT32 and EXT3. Still no good.
[Desire General] freakzone:
Hi, get an Sd adaptor and a digital camera, format it trough the camera and it will probably be fine, or alternatively do a low level format with one of the tools available (just google low level format tool).

I'm running CM7, and I'm Canadian. Whenever I try to install the Nook Android App it says requested item not found. Is there some way I can install this?

I got an SD card with honeycomb on it (I hated it) so I wiped it and install CM7 with apps and I cannot for the life of me get the nook android app back on it like he did (he was American) Does anyone have a trick to get this to work?
[Nook Color General] gbeardmore:
Probably the easiest way: (Search how for each of these steps)

Make your SD card bootable with Clockwork Mod Recovery

Download to your PC the .zip file of the ROM you want to install

Place the ROM in the root directory of your SD card

Turn off the Nook and put the card in

Turn on the Nook. It will Boot into Clockwork

Once in Clockwork, Wipe the Cache, Dalvik Cache and Data

Flash the ROM (install the .zip file from the SD card)

When it completes, remove the card and re-boot. (The first boot can take quite a while!)

RECOMMENDED: Also download and install the GoogleApps.zip the same way you installed the ROM

(As I mentioned, you'll have to search for the exact directions for these steps, but that's how I'd do it.
