If their router failed and that was the reason for the nationwide blackout, then VZW deserves every bit of negative press that comes out of this/can come out of this. How can a billion dollar company rest its new network' livelihood on a SINGLE router, with no backup of any kind. Hell, my HOME NETWORK has a backup power supply and my desktop is backed up to an external hard drive every day, and I only have myself and my girl to worry about. VZW has hundreds of thousands of customers that are using their 4G network, and they only have one router? Disappointing.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahud:
Nice post. Hopefully this will stop people from clogging up the development section with questions.

If I flashed the DL09 stock MD5 file and got all the OTA updates to the latest version, would I be unrooted and completely back to stock to the point where if I took my phone into a verizon store for customer service they wouldn't be able to tell that I had voided my warranty by rooting? I am currently rooted running evil fascination rom with OTB reloaded kernel and ECO1 radio. I would probably have to get rid of any files/apps associated with rooting but other than that would they be able to tell?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:
Yes, at that point you'd be fully stock and un-rooted. Though you'd want to exchange SD cards (with new phone.. not sure if there are issues with this) or copy important files to your computer.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahud:
Do you mean that I should copy important files to my computer before I go through this process back to stock or are you talking about when/if I take my phone to a verizon store?

Hi, i flash my phone on Android 2.2 Froyo, but I did not realize that there so many bugs.

Now I would like to return their stock firmware DI01 (Android 2.1-update1).

Could you give me a link to download the above described file DI01 (Android 2.1-update1)!

Would be very grateful!

And please describe in detail, the difference between DI01 (Android 2.1-update1) from DL09 (Android 2.1-update1), I'm new to flashing Android!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:

Just one question? I dont see anything in your instructions that pertains to disabling or removing voodoo 1st. Adryn has always said you should remove voodoo prior to return to stock even if using odin. Is that not the case? Is it safe to overwrite an enabled voodoo kernel with odin? I have always disabled voodoo prior to odin. If I dont have to, that would be very nice.

Nice catch. Yes, I do believe Voodoo needs to be disabled.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robtao:
Please correct me if I am wrong. Isn't "Reboot Recovery" the same thing as reboot and then quickly holding the power button and volume buttons? But easier? No buttons needed. It is the first thing listed in the Advanced and Debugging Menu list in CWR.

Also, another question about this process:

After wiping data, restoring data through Nandroid backup and restore/Advanced Restore: Data only....

Is this the best way to get back to where you were data-wise, before the wiping/flashing? To put your data back on top of the new... whatever you just flashed?I am wondering about wiping cache/dalvik before doing the backup, then it might be cleaner?

Also wondering when to reboot, and when to reboot to recovery? It may be obvious, but not to me just yet.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:
1. yes, using the CWR option will work, however, the first time you won't have that option.

2. With the latest stock kernals, you must reboot to recovery as they will over write CWR and root. So, you can't fully boot until you have replaced the kernal.

3. I don't use nandroid. It may not be simplier, but I just use titanium backup. I get to the point where I'm done flashing stuff and then simply use a batch restore of my apps/data. Never had an issue with this.

I could be wrong, but I thought the purpose of nandroid (as I've never used it) was to back-up a complete prior state, not just data/apps/settings. To me, it is merely a way to undo the rom you just flash if it was bad.

I wrote this to answer a common question new people have about how to best go to this new rom from either an older rom or a brand new phone (as the devs recommended going to full stock before flashing newest roms).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuniorBevins:
I love the new rom, but it crashes my phone with an acore error. tried reflashing it and no luck. Any guesses?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayburne:
Thanks for the great write up superchunckwii!

I have a completely stock (never even rooted) Fascinate.

My current Fascinate build info:

Firmware - 2.1-update 1

Baseband - S:i500.04V.EA28

Kernal - 2.6.29

Build - SCH- I500.EA28

It is my understanding the ED01 is the latest release.

I plan to root, and use TiBu to back all my apps and data before flashing Community.

Being that I am still stock, if I OTA to ED01, then root and use TiBu to create a backup, should I still flash back to stock DL09 and OTA back to EB01 per your instruction (not sure if it’s ok to be rooted on ED01 to get CWM installed and proceed)?

Also, I see Community 1.2 update includes “New kernel from nemesis2all!”.

I prefer not to oc/uv.

After installing and upon first boot, is this kernel oc/uv at all or set at stock clock speed?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blandj:
If you're already on stock, there's no need to flash back to DL09. The reason that's there is so other people (usually being rooted, on a different rom, etc.) can get on an official build, precisely so that they can upgrade to ED01. If you flash back to stock afterwards, you'll just be doing the same thing all over again.

At defaults, OTB isn't overclocked (max speed is 1000), and shouldn't be considered as undervolted. As in, the 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1000 steps are stock voltages, but I don't think the 600 step exists on stock, in which case there technically wouldn't be a stock voltage for that step. Its voltage is reasonably between the 400 and 800 though, so it's not really undervolted. (Although you could always uncheck it and hit "save at boot" if you really don't trust it.)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightningXCE:
As a heads up, I never de-converted from Voodoo and I never encountered any issues.

Thanks for the guide! Saved me the time and hassle of going ALL the way back to stock before flashing.

Hey guys, I'm running SC 2.9.2 EB01

I haven't ever been able to get OTA updates with this phone or my wife's which we bought at the same time. I read there was a bad batch, but never went through the hassle of getting new ones because, well, they wouldn't be new (refurb).

So, is there a way or does anyone have the zip of the latest and greatest DL09 with all the OTA updates already included so I don't have to worry if I'm on the same page and can continue to flash the KangBang rom? Or is this even an issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blandj:
As long as you're on SC, or anything non-stock, you won't be getting OTA updates.

Although maybe you're saying you can't get OTA while on stock either. Anyway, you can get what you need (DL09 isn't the latest and greatest, but is the first step in getting ED01 which is :D) without OTA'ing; the necessary stock package and update.zips are here. (That's what I've used every time I've gone through the updates; I've successfully done an EA28 upgrade OTA, but the zip is faster, and I don't trust my 3g connection enough to throw 100 MB at it at once.)

But you should get by just fine flashing kangbang without going through the upgrades, the only difference is that you'll have your current (EB01, I'm assuming, unless you flashed something else since) radio instead of the newest ED01.

hey :)

first of all a bunch of thanks for the guide , god bless.

ok i am an Indian user , got this verizon fascinate 2 days back , and its rooted and has been updated with settings of an Indian cdma operator RELIANCE , also evdo settings have been updated in it .

atm , i am using it with eb01 rom , the status details are :

firmware - 2.2.1

baseband version - S:i500.04 V.EB01

kernal version : 2.632.9

build number

SCH-I500.EB01

the battery backup is good in the rom ( i donno much about rooting and stuff , BUT i know how to use ODIN to install ROMs.

but the phantom calls issue is killing me, also i feel the voice quality aint good as well when on calls, and just want it deloated with all the vzn stuff .

so i am thinking of using community ROM

but as u have explained , it will wipe everything , and i guess the Indian operator settings will also be erased, ( is that so ? )

please guide me how to do it mate.

i ll be highly thankful.

problem with SU file

I was following along the guide to stock to community ROM and of course ran into a small problem. After installing CWR and booting applying the sdcard zip file for the su file, the su file was corrupt and aborted the process. So I had to reboot my phone to install a new SU file. Should I return to stock and start all over again, or can I boot into recovery and start from applying the SU file?

I would have no clue with this setup. However, going back to stock, I am sure would remove your Indian carrier settings. So I don't think that is the best option for you.

Adrynalyne has another thread in the dev section that goes the latest radios without going to OTA stock, like my guide, maybe try that method or ask your question there as he is an actual dev and probably help more than I can.

Thanks mate , actually i plunged into flashing superclean despite warnings :P

and with odin it flashed without hassel , the backup was aweful , tried caliberating the battery with all possible means but no use.

then i flashed DL09 ( yaeh i know eclaire :P) well it also flashed good , no settings wipe , but everything else was wiped , thats no issue i had contacts backedup and there was nothing else.m but with DL09 the rooting was also gone. :P

now i need to fix 2 or 3 things , if you can please help.

1.. improve the voice quality which is distorted as well as with a bit of echo from my own voice while talking

2.. improve the battery backup , which is infact better than SC , but seems the battery caliberation has gone haywire so might need to fix it again after DL09.

3.. and may be a few more ways to fasten things up.

so practically when i am flashing a TAR file with ODIN the settings of the operator are kept intact , if you folks can advise me some other ROM which has no known issues then please do chip in.

god bless.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:
I'm using the community rom and have no issues. However, when you wipe, you should wipe all three areas and do them each multiple times. That usually clears up other issues anyone has. As for the battery, simply charge to 100%, wipe stats, charge to 100%, wipe stats and you'll probably be fine. From what I gather it seems as throw flashing a rom also flashes that devs battery stats which may mess up yours initially.
