Hi VC,

Did you figure out why you can't do a recovery from the phone? seems kind of strange. Anyway, now that you are rooted, check out V6supercharger RC1 works pretty good on the T959P. I also use KaK and 3G boost from the same dev.

Speedmod kernal

I know this has been discussed in this thread before, but this is my first time rooting this way and I just want to make sure I use the right speedmod kernal, t10 was mentioned before but there are quite a few to DL. Please post link or let me know asap, thanks.

VC and root

Does flashing VC's kernal with CWM root the phone, Ie. can I bypass the earlier instructions with using a speedmod kernal?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Yes it does, the only hitch is I have done this and cwm doesn't allow me to do a backup, hence no restore either... currently researching how to get this fixed...does definately give you root and you only have to flash once. Look for ODIN3 v1.82, that is what I used.... never failed me yet
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greatcdn:
Which way?

Just another quick question, which way would you recommend for rooting, and if I use the earlier instructions what version speedmod should I flash? I tried VC's way and Odin did nothing, I added the .tar file to the PDA and clicked start it said this "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)". Bare with the newbie here I am probablly doing somthing wrong and it probablly has nothing to do with VC's .tar or Odin, hehe.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

NVM, I figured it out, but my question still remains, which rooting method is better and do I get CWM working with the earlier way?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
cwm is only in the second method which you can do overtop of the first, I did that.... the only thing is I can't get cwm to create a backup. If you do put it over top, please try and create a backup and let me know.. then I will know if it is cwm that is the problem or my phone....

Cwm doesn't work for me either. Root went smooth though.

The funny thing after bricking(ehehe) so many and unbricking them i found an odd little trick to the t 959p if u do think that u bricked them hold down power and volume up or just start hitting random buttons.. but hold power and volume down and up.. there comes some weird numbers.. they are red.. andwhen that shows you are able to flash your phone..i dont suggjest this to do it on purpose to see if my finding are correct but if someone so happens to brick theirs.. try it.. it works on numerous occasions for me.. but only on the T959P.. No other one..but recently i did the unbrickable modd to the i9000m and its awesome.. gotta love it...theres no info on it so i just tried it blindly.. i dont suggest anyone do this either.. but.. i had notjing else to lose.. the phone was about to be sent to Adam..(sorry dude) but it worked.. got into dl mode and flashed..

T959P Stock + Voodoo + CWM

For the T959P Follow the instructions here to a tee:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1225593&page=5

If you do that you will get to a rooted 2.3.4 without using the speedmod. Gage_hero was the first one who had wierdness with this process and I suspect in the end it was boot loader related. All other reports are that if this process is followed you will be good to go. (Working CWM + Voodoo + Root on 2.3.4).

PM me if you have any problems. The Pit file and everything you need to go through the entire process is available in the thread. Again you should not need to apply any kind of a speedmod kernel. The final flash of the 2.3.4 with Voodoo and CWM in the instructions will root your phone when it is applied as the final step.

Just got the 4G and rooted using SuperOneClick 2.3.2

Just got a mint Telus 4G from kijiji and decided root the phone. After about 2hrs of searching and reading, found that using SuperOneClick version 2.3.2 to root the 4G was very easy.

Currently had firmware version 2.3.4 installed, so this is my starting point.

I basically did the following,

- Downloaded the Samsung Android USB and SuperOneClick (installed them)

- Enabled USB debugging on the phone

- Connected phone and drivers recognized the phone properly

- Started S.O.C. and pressed 'Root'

- Took a few minutes and it eventually rooted the phone

- Verified by checking Superuser is now loaded.

And voila... Rooted! :D

Next step.... to put a custom ROM to replace the stock Telus and eventually unlock it...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 07blackwater:

Help with UNLOCKING using Galaxy_S Unlock - Can't backup efs folder

**** EDIT ***

Solid Explorer Beta 2 worked for me.

Used the nv_data.bin method to unlock my phone. Weird thing is that when I tried to unlock it using the code, it said 'unsuccesful' but when I put my SIM card in (of course from a different carrier), it worked! *shrugs*

**** EDIT ***

Phone Specs:

Model: SGH-T959P

Firmware: 2.2.1

Kernal: 2.6.32.9

Build: FROYO

(locked to Telus)

Hey,

So I just bought a locked Fascinate 4G and I rooted it using SuperOneClick (version 1.7 - followed a youtube video and since he used that version, I did too - even though I know there is a newer version). Worked fine. Superuser is there and everything.

I downloaded Galaxy_S Unlock and BusyBox Free, but step 1 wouldn't work - it couldn't back up the efs folder.

I then tried to find other ways to back up the efs folder (tried using Super Manager as described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1)

Now let's back up our efs folder:

-Open Super Manager on your phone and go into [File Manager].

-Select [Back up level folder] twice.

-Scroll down and look for your folder called [efs].

-Long press the folder and select [copy].

-Now look for [sdcard] and select.

-Now select the clipboard (or press menu, then paste) to paste to your sdcard.

-Now copy over to your computer for safe keeping.

BUT, I couldn't even locate that folder (which worries me).

Then I tried this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731931), but I have no idea how to get the nv_data.bin.

I'm not trying to do anything special with this phone rooting wise, just need it unlocked so I can use it with Rogers.

I read this thread and several others, but I am still confused. Hopefully someone can help me with this.

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wlodar:
It doesn't charge, because USB according to specification is rated at 0.65 A at 5V, Galaxy TAB Charger is rated 2 A at 5V.

Charging requires higher electric current to override internal resistance of battery, Galaxy TAB got large capacity battery, so the internal resistance is quite high.

And that's why 0.65 A is not enough.

So use standard charger or buy yourself a high end motherboard providing more Amps (there are ones with high power USB, usually for supporting portable HDD).

BTW 1: This problem address also iPad, other TABs and other stuff with large batteries.

BTW 2: I would answer this if it would be in Q & A. And name calling others for pointing truth is a sign of low self culture.
