If the end goal is ComRom 2.0/2.1, another resource that might be useful can be found here - it follows much of what is listed in the OP here and overkills on details a bit (but the hope is that the overkill will be helpful to those new to the process). Note that this is on Android Central (this seems to be a bit more noob-friendly forum - it helped me personally to better understand what I have found here on xda), so you will need to make an account to see the links if you don't already have one. Hope this helps!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazz848:
I'm not a dev and by no means an expert, but I think this guide may need some fixing / updating. Not 100% sure though, so a few questions:

1. It's my understanding that using Odin to install a recovery flat-out replaces the stock recovery. If the phone still boots to stock (blue) recovery after properly flashing a new recovery via Odin (with success reported), wouldn't that mean something's already borked?

2. Since the Wipe operations in CWR follow a specific, non-variable routine, wouldn't the same thing happen regardless of how many times the commands are executed? Put another way, if the command doesn't wipe what it's supposed to the first time, what would be different after the 2nd and 3rd attempt?

3. As of my last full wipe (7/7/11), the Verizon OTAs now seem to upgrade from DL09 to EA28 followed by an immediate jump to ED04; ED01 seems to be skipped altogether as an independent update. I've seen some debate over just how much a mis-matched radio can mess with the ROM (if at all), but since UKB in particular is based off the ED01 source, is it still advisable to grab all the OTAs before flashing a ROM?

Again, I do not consider myself an expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong on anything. Just trying to help or be helped!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:
1. No. The latest stock kernals will remove any superuser code upon reboot. That's why whatever method you use you must immediately flash a new kernal after SU.

2. There have been multiple times in the threads that people had problems after one wipe where multiple fixed it. Granted it doesn't seem right, but it happens.

3. I like to be the most up to date and at the time I created this thread the latest radios were only available through OTA. This may be different now, I haven't checked. There are many who have not done this and are fine. However, this path is what worked perfectly for me first try as well as many others.

On a side note, I still should update this as some links seem to be bad and newer stuff is out now.

Hello all and thanks

But I need some help. First I About Phone:

Firmware ver: 2.1update1

Baseband ver: s:i500.04 V.EB01

Kernel ver: 2.6.29

Build no. : sch-i500.dh12

Also I have CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v2.5.1.x

I am a newbie so be easy with instructions. I have looked through many pages of instructions trying to get to the heart of what specifically I am needing with my Fascinate.

I have tried to restore back to factory as out of the box and it seems to me that I am running a stock but when I try to flash the mentioned vzw kernel (stock-i500-vzw-kernel.tar.md5) back to stock, using Odin and the other stock vzw files (System.tar, pit, recovery) , there is an error in Odin of Invalid hash. Added to that in it's present condition, I am not able to root the phone, busybox is installed correctly according to Root Checker

Before I do any other thing to the phone, OR is it possible to force update to the Froyo 2.2. I would like to completely get back to stock and even to remove the voodoo kernel, root the phone, update to another ROM with the instructions given. Please help

I have looked high and low and can find no better place to ask this so flame away if you must. I have been back to stock since froyo came out looking to try MIUI or CM7 Just want to make sure these instructions are still correct this is my only phone and don't have a desire or time to bork it up.

Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:
Essentially, yes the directions are correct. Of course you have to search the dev forums for the correct files as they are different than the ones I originally used in this OP.

You'll probably want to start with the CM7 thread for CWR and probably kernal, then the MIUI thread for its rom.

Hello fascinate owners. I have a vibrant rooted flashed and all that stuff,in order to root my phone I simply downloaded one file 3 buttoned into recovery ran file and was rooted. Is the such a method for the fascinate? My buddy is digging the speed and all on my vibrant. I've read through some of your forum to become familiar but haven't found the same method.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spades Slick:
Hi all,

I was able to successfully restore my phone back to factory using the commandline with Heimdall on Ubuntu. A few little problems have cropped up, however:

1. I keep getting this error about com.sec.android.app.twlauncher crashing when I swish around on screen.

2. When I was in the wipe screen, I would get an error about being unable to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1.

I tried another factory reset after restarting, but I keep getting these errors. If anyone knows how to deal with them, I'd appreciate it. Thanks :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
I recomend using odin to falsh a stock package such as ed05. Sounds like something is corrupted and facory reset wont fix.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spades Slick:
Well, I cannot use Odin because I'm on Ubuntu and don't have a Windows disk to run Odin through VirtualBox. I actually HAD flashed ED05 with Heimdall after I bricked my phone trying to put ClockworkMod Recovery on there.

I suppose I could try it again, though.

ETA: Wiped and formatted the SD card and did a new flash with heimdall. I inputted the following:

heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin --pit atlas_v2.2.pit

This is using the md5 file for ED05 FROYO from the developer thread for unbricking, as well as the pit file suggested there. Got the same errors as above, as well as "E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount DATA".

ETA2: Looking at it, it seems my internal storage isn't formatted properly. I'm assuming I need to put CWNRecovery on here, ironically, to fix this issue, but I really don't know how to do that using Heimdall (it doesn't help that I don't know where to download the latest version of it either). If someone could hold my hand through this process, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk74:
A few months ago I took a crack at rooting my fascinate and installing CM7. I believe I followed the directions from here, but was interrupted and had to walk away from them with the phone in a working but uncompleted state.

Here is where I am right now:

I have root access. su is there, root check verifys I have it, wireless tether app works fine, etc.

When I power on while holding down BOTH volume buttons, it boots to 'CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8.ti in orange.

Booting it with either just the up or down volume buttons boots the phone like normal.

I don't have Rom Manager installed.

I don't have 'boot to recovery' or similar in the power button menu once booted.

Phone tried to OTA update a month or so ago, but it failed.

Anybody have a clue where in the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053567 I might have stopped?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
With so many releases recently of the GB rom's I have a question. If the rom is based on the CM7 release, the 4G and brightness level work but if it is based on the htc build that was released, the brightness level doesn't work for the novatech screen. Is this true? If you use the rom based on the senseui 2.x then the 4G and video camera doesn't work. Is this correct?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Cm7 is based on the GB AOSP 2.3.3 from the source. The GB leak you're referring to is SENSE that is built by HTC which is a custom UI HTC build for android. Aosp is completely open source while sense is not. The GB aosp works just fine while the GB sense was a leak/port and isn't completely finished yet. The 0004 nova will suffer from the brightness bug until the official GB sense and source is released from HTC(which will probably be months away).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm guessing we will see a final Sense 2.3.3 release for our EVO in May. It will most likely be the last official major upgrade we see. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Could be may, im thinking more like July when the evo 3D is supposedly launching. It will probably be the last official update for the evo since its probably coming close to end of life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
Thanks for clarifying that for me. There have been so many rom's released in the last couple of weeks it makes my head spin! But in a good way, no complaints to the dev's. I have hardware 0003 and it has a novatech screen as well. I guess it doesn't really matter if it is 0004 or 0003 if it has the novatech screen.
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
Has anyone used all of these?

I am having a problem with Vlingo and Google accurately accepting my voice commands. I be speaking good English with clear enunciation.

On my old Windows Mobile 6 devices, I had no problems with MS Voice Commands and Bing being recognized after the first try (the way it should be). With my Atrix, I am pretty close to giving up on using the voice features because it never gets it right unless I am in a quiet bedroom.

Is there a setting somewhere in the Atrix where I can improve the voice recognition accuracy? In Windows Mobile, I could disable the auto mic gain adjustment to get excellent results from MS Voice Command. I have done the training twice for the Google recognition engine. It's not any better.

Mostly, I use voice commands in the car to search or return text messages. I even turn off the air conditioning and roll up the windows and have the radio off.
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
I wonder, does the same voice issue that plagues Skype also affect the voice recognition apps?

That would certainly explain why it wouldn't be working.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Haha. Nice. :D
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
Not familiarwith the Skype issue. The voice recognition works, but it just isn't very accurate...making them next to useless. It's really a chore to get Atrix to understand anything properly.
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
Okay, probably not then. The problem with Skype is that it takes the mic input as horrendously loud static :P
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
I haven't had anybody complain during phone calls, but I haven't used SKype either. I think I'm going to play around with a voice recording app to see what my voice sounds like through the mic. Maybe there is an optimum distance I should be when using voice recognition. The Atrix Bing app seems to do an excellent job at voice recognition. This leads me to believe that Google and Vlingo just aren't that good yet.
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
I know there have been complaints of voice calls through the Atrix making you sound like you're in a tunnel. I actually experience this issue. It doesn't make talking impossible, but it does make it a little more difficult. However, I have also heard that some people don't have the issue, so that could be your case, and perhaps Google and Vlingo are indeed not very good D:
