I can't get beyond the status 7 error. Trying to follow the instructions in the OP of this thread tonight and I get to the end,

"close the notepad file and you should get a pop up from winrar or 7 zip asking if you want to save the changes to the updater-script file, click yes."

I've tried both 7zip and winrar and neither programs asks me if I want to save the changes. I've tried making the changes in both Notepad and wordpad, and those programs ask me to save. But after I do and close the file, neither zip program asks me if I want to save the changes. Have tried on 2 different computers with the same results so I must be doing something wrong. Any thoughts?

I just flashed to 07/13 from 07/04 successfully. I'll report in after I've put it through its paces.
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
I'm very interested in your opinion of the in-call audio, especially if you're using the otb kernel. I'm away on business and a little worried about upgrading before reading some feedback.

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] TheChillburger:
I'll let you know as soon as I test it out. I flashed to the EC09 radio as well.

First impression, I'm really plowing through my battery even with the screen off. I lost 2% in 10 minutes of having the phone locked. I'm not sure if I just need to let things settling in, though. I have it set to Conservative and reset the battery stats.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
As am I. I need the volume to be loud enough for incoming and outgoing for some business calls so I really want to know how good the volume is now.

I know its probably been posted but I can't find it...does anyone have a swype.apk for cm7?
[Fascinate General] TheHobbyist:
The reply I have seen for this frequently asked question is to join the swype beta. Give that a go! Good Luck!

Works beautifully thanks !!!!!

Is there a trick to enable BLN with Handcent? I can't seem to get it to work. I'm using the included kernel btw

On that note, does anyone know of a DX MT keyboard that can be successfully flashed in CM7?
[Fascinate General] K40:
From the few replies and what info we currently have from other spots around xda and other forums, I am going on the theory its a problem with the particular manufacturer. But if more people have information to share we may see a trend on the failure to mount.
[Fascinate General] lobogau:
Hello to everyone,

I would like to first thank the community for all their work, help, guides, etc. I am having the most difficulty flashing this rom. I have tried everything that is in the original post, user guides in the CM7 thread etc. I do not understand why I cannot flash this rom. I am able to flash superclean, UKB, themes, kernels, etc. I would appreciate any help that anyone can and are willing to give me.

I have odined eb01 stock with pit, dl09 with pit, formatted with ext4, odined the eco9 radio, odined jt's cm7 recovery, flashed jt's cm7 recovery, basically everything I can think of and nothing works. I get to flashing cm7 and there is a bootloop with an inability to mount the sd card on 07/04, and if i try to go straight to 07/13 there is a system 7 error. I need help.

Thank you,

Rob MacLean
[Fascinate General] bhfd64:
I had this about 2 hours ago. I battery pulled out of the bootloop, wiped everything again and reflashed. Booted up fine the 2nd time and then 7/13 flashed right over 7/4. Been fighting it for days with results about like yours.

Just tapped that..
[Fascinate General] jerkules:
I had the same problem on my wife's fascinate coming from com rom 2.1. After the problems of getting the sd card to mount, I tried to go back to com rom. I couldn't get the radio to work no matter what I tried. I finally had to stay with the odin'd eb01. Maybe I'll give it another shot tonight, but I was working on that thing for about 4 hours last night.
[Fascinate General] jerkules:
My wife's sd card is a sandisk 16 gb and couldn't get it to mount. But so is mine and mounts perfectly, no problems with cm7.
[Fascinate General] lobogau:
Thanks for the replies bhfd64 and jerkules. I am going to trying what you did bhfd64. I hope that helps my problem. My sd card is a sandisk 16gb for anyone that is keeping track.

To jerkules...I am able to odin and flash all the way back to my original setup very easily. This whole thing just frustrates me because I have never run in to this before with anything else I have wanted to do to the phone. Any more info for me would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob MacLean
[Fascinate General] bhfd64:
I couldn't beat the status 7 error for the life of me. Tried builds 7/4-13 over everything and couldn't get it. Eventually Odin flashed DI01, then Odin'd the fixed recovery and 7/4 worked. That's when I got the bootloop and did the battery pull and reflash. Then 7/13 flashed w/o incident. Odin'd the EC09 radio in there somewhere too but I can't remember where.
[Fascinate General] K40:
Interesting, what class? And when was the last time the card was formatted?
[Fascinate General] jerkules:
Forgive my ignorance, but how do I find out the class of the sd card? Also, the wife's phone is only a few months old. Based on that, probably not too long ago. My phone on the other hand is almost a year old and I formatted the sd card probably about 8 months ago.
[Fascinate General] Headcase8911:
Will say on the card, perhaps a C with a number in the center.
[Fascinate General] RandomGuy982:
MMS was what stopped me from flashing before, but now that I have.....:D This rom is amazing.
[Fascinate General] K40:
Yes you can take a look at the card. If I recall most Fascinates shipped with class 2 cards.

Also since it default formats with FAT32, if you are having mount issues I would do at minimum a check disk / fschk or potentially a backup and reformat.

Another potential issue could be the card has too much data on it, I know it is more of an issue with rotating disks but it is a file system issue. Once a storage device gets over 50% you will start seeing degraded performance. While not as pronounced on flash, I tested with my ssd, but it is there. Could be that the phone can't read through the fat tables fast enough.

[Fascinate General] lobogau:
Hey,

I would like to thank those who have replied and their help. Well, I finally got it to flash by using my 8gb Transcend class 6 sd card and everything worked. I just don't understand why my card works for froyo and not cm7. Well, I am going to format and remount the card hopefully, after backup of course. :)

Thanks,

Rob

Oh, btw, The original problem card was a SanDisk 16gb class 2.
[Fascinate General] K40:
Rob, try taking the card and mounting it in windows. Use the disk check utility on it
[Fascinate General] lobogau:
It will mount on my laptop Windows 7 os. I can delete transfer apps to and from the card as well as when i odin the phone to DL09 with pit it functions fine. The phone will see the card in the cm7 recovery before cm7 flash but will not mount in the cm7 os. I don't understand. The phone works fine with the Transcend class 6 8gb card I have from my old Blackberry?????????
[Fascinate General] lobogau:
Error checking in Windows 7 revealed nothing and it should be working fine. I also reformatted it and it does not work with cm7. I guess I need a faster card or just deal with the 8gb for now.

Most amazing rom ever
[Fascinate General] dablitzkrieg:
Broken Accelermeter

I've got a broken accelerometer it appears. It worked for a minute, then it stopped. Im on test build 10. I tried to wipe date and also reflash. Is this a known issue? If so, how do I fix.

Edit: accelerometer works (although laggy) when auto rotation is activated
[Fascinate General] BlueEvo8:
I just flashed this yesterday and everything went smoothly. But, I have noticed poor battery life. Looking at CPU Spy, I'm getting these results.

1400 MHz - 1%

1300 MHz - 0%

1200 MHz - 0%

1000 MHz - 0%

800 MHz - 3%

400 MHz - 9%

200 MHz - 5%

100 MHz - 58%

Deep Sleep - 20%

Any ideas on what is keeping my phone out of Deep Sleep or how I can force it into Deep Sleep more often?

Thanks.

EDIT: I just did a Dumpsys Power from the Terminal, it shows 3 Locks.

SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK 'StayOnWhilePluggedIn Screen Dim' activated (minState=1, uid=1000, pid=188)

PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'StayOnWhilePluggedIn Partial' activated (minState=0, uid=1000, pid=188)

PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'MAIL_SERVICE' activated (minState=, uiid=10021, pid=1286)
[Fascinate General] swaitch:
Auto rotation is slow with 7/13

Has anyone else noticed auto rotation reacting very slowly with the 7/13 update?
[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
The first two should be fine and will disappear when you put the phone to sleep. The third one, however, is probably your culprit. You can try killing the pid, which could cause an undesirable effect depending on the app. You could also reboot and see if that same 'MAIL_SERVICE' pops up.

Are you hooking into Exchange or other non-gmail mail service?
[Fascinate General] jpricesd:
Yes. It usually takes a few about 5 secs or so before it rotates.
[Fascinate General] shotlivermutton:
Odd, screen rotates for me are faster than ever with cm7 build 10.

Only issues so far are that outgoing mms doesn't work (only tried gosms so far), and I've had one sleep lockup.

This is the fastest and smoothest I've ever seen this phone go (and OMFGB is suppose to be even faster?!). My first few months of owning this phone were a trial, but thanks to the work from guys like jt, I have been saved from having to buy a new device.
[Fascinate General] Droiddude24:
Does anyone know why my market keeps closing right when I open it? I clear the cashe and it's still doing it? Also keep getting an error when I sync my contacts?

EDIT: n/m it started working out of the blue
[Fascinate General] K40:
If you are doing a fresh flash try using the card that works. Once the install is done shut down and swap cards, after putting all the files from the fresh install to the card? I'm running out of ideas on the cards, I still use the stock Class 2 card and have no issues.

Maybe if CWM showed something other the countdown might be better to track, but hard without any additional info, since I cant reproduce it.
[Fascinate General] BlueEvo8:
I do hook into the Exchange server at work. I did a battery pull and ran dumpsys power again and the mail_service process is gone, with my phone not plugged in atm it says mLocks = 0

So it looks like for some reason that process hung open or something.
[Fascinate General] swaitch:
I switched back to build 9 and screen rotation was perfect but the proximity sensor wasn't working during calls. For that reason alone I will suffer with slow screen rotation.

Edit: After reflashing to build 10 the screen rotation is working great!
[Fascinate General] goop99:
Hey guys i have a few questions.

I have a stock fascinate on 2.2.1 unrooted, looking to try out cm7.

Do I have to odin back to eclair (dl09) before I can unroot it using cwm + su? In the un-bricking thread it says that you can't unroot on froyo using cwm3 + su. But every unrooting guide i've searched for uses cwm3+su.

and how do you reboot into recovery without using the 3 button after rooting? I've seen this as a caution to not try when you're reflashing the same rom, so how do you boot into orange-cwm if you're not 3buttoning?
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
Not sure what you mean by unrooting, since you said you are unrooted. I do know that if you want your phone to be completely stock you do have to odin it back to DL09 and OTA to Froyo, but don't quote me on that.

I do know how you get into orange, though. You can either go into Terminal Emulator and type 'su reboot recovery', or you can reboot through the menu by long-pressing the power button. If you have CWM3 installed, you can 3FS to it like normal in case you need to reflash the ROM for any reason. This will not work with upgrade versions, it will only work with the initial flash (which means, wipe your data, etc).
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
To get into orange, you use the power button, select reboot, then select recovery. BTW, after you flash 7/13 orange becomes blue.
[Fascinate General] saps:
So I finally tried this Rom and what a treat it is. Didn't even touch any of the first nine test build but ten is a dream, paired with nemesis kernel for terrific performance and decent battery life. MMS definitely works and call volume is fine for me as loud as com rom was for me

Plus CM has adjustments to make it louder if needed. Its this rom only moving forward for me, though that omfgb looks enticing too. As always fabulous work by jt
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
Could you please point me to where I would find the settings that specifically affect in-call volume? I have been trying to find something and having no luck. At the very least, if your answer is something I've already tried, then I'll know I have other issues. Thanks :)
[Fascinate General] grinful:
Incall sound

I think JT said he only changed sampling rates. All the the incall settings had to do with Voodoo sound and unchecking theHi-Fi Record option in Voodoo Control for the sound.

I have been unable to find any other option for, beyond the normal ones for changing the incall volume.
[Fascinate General] wessiide:
I am having an issue with cm7 in that my browser always force closes then every app will force close til I reboot. Came from rooted ed01 froyo rom have tried data wipe cache dalvik etc and reinstalled cm7 in blue recovery. Any ideas anyone? Also flash player appears to be inop even after reinstall from market (which also occassionally force closes)

Edit I am on the latest 0717 build.
[Fascinate General] erics88:
Will only boot if recharging

Running the latest build 07/17 and if I reboot using the power key/menu (doesn't matter which option, reboot or recovery) the phone always reboot into the red cwm recovery.

When plugged in to the charger and reboot, the phone starts normal and if I pick reboot into recovery while charging it boots into the blue cwm 4.0.

I can't turn the phone off unless I have a charger handy or else I'm stuck in the red cwm recovery. Any ideas what I screwed up?
[Fascinate General] wessiide:
Nevermind I figured it out for the record if you use titanium backup only select restore user apps and data not system data think its self explanatory but yeah it will lead to force closes on a new rom.
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
If anyone else is keeping tabs on the official CM code, some interesting stuff should be coming in the next update.

[Fascinate General] Headcase8911:
I didn't see anything in there about the fascinate, am I missing something?

Edit: it changes everyday
[Fascinate General] eibbed0001:
Had you used Titanium Backup to move apps to or from the SD card? I did and that's when I began getting FCs. I reinstalled the ROM, made sure I had the apps install to location set where I wanted them and then installed the apps again. For some of them I moved them using the Application Management software built into the phone and it worked fine that way. Could be a TiBu issue. Or not.
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
That's a rolling changelog of cm7, so every device is included. I was referring to there now being support for custom lockscreen wallpapers across all platforms.
[Fascinate General] neyenlives:
The only recovery that you can use is the one you access by long pressing power, reboot, recovery. You cannot use the red recovery or do the three finger boot to access it. It will bring it up but doing anything in it will cause issues. Only the Recovery 4 version is valid now.

If you are saying your phone wont power on without going straight to red recovery you got something bad messed up. Did you use the stock Rom, with Atlas 2.2 pit file and have repartition checked when you started the process of installing this?
[Fascinate General] anoninja118:
also terminal emulator can boot you to recovery if I'm not mistaken... type 'su' then return, grant permissions then type 'reboot recovery' and return

blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge
[Fascinate General] erics88:
Nope, even using the terminal emulator boots me into CwM v3. Only way to boot into the Blue v4 recovery is to have the phone on plugged into the charger. Phone won't power on without going straight to red recovery (unless it's plugged in).

I upgraded Cwm using the one JT posted, then used the Atlas 2.2 pit file with repartition checked and installed the 07/04 version. It took a full night just to get everything up and running so I could have screwed up a lot of things.

Guess I can live with it for now, just have to remember never to reboot or shut down unless I have access to a phone charger. :o
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
Funny. My phone boots into V4 by default, and will only boot into V3 when I do the 3FS. This is on Glitch too, where people say you can't do that.
[Fascinate General] TheChillburger:
Hey guys, I'm running the 7/18 build with Dock Sound Redirector outputing audio to my desktop dock, but I'm getting a lot of hiss. If I connect directly to my speakers from the Fascinate's audio jack, there is little to no hiss. What could cause this?
[Fascinate General] Kingali1997:
Download version 2.0.5
[Fascinate General] smilepak:
That hiss is the issue with Fascinate dock. It was introduced the minute fascinate got the support to activate that. Even the stock dock software has that issue. The sound quality sucks..but it work..
[Fascinate General] ecrepeau:
I have this same issue going from stock to cm 7.1. My phone everything worked fine and same exact steps as in the wiki for my wife's phone it does this countdown reboot loop. I can flash it back to stock and when I try again same deal.

Anyone???
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
have you tried going all the way back to dl09 eclair? this was the only way I could get on cm7.1.
[Fascinate General] ecrepeau:
Didn't go that far back when I put it to stock. I will give that a try.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Yes, I am running jt's alpha 3 and I have wireless tether for root users. It works like a charm.

Sent from a guy who needs a fix about as bad as the CM7 radio
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Just so that everyone knows and is pretty much caught up to speed with what's going on, The version of CM7 and the one in the development section are two completely different beasts.

The one in the development section is built to be flashed on a Block Management Layer (BML) partition scheme, which Samsung uses. Which has working wifi, radio, A2DP bluetooth. but has broken hw/sw codecs, mms, incall bluetooth, etc.

Now the one that JT is working on now is built to be flashed on Memory Technology Device (MTD) partition scheme, which it seems just about everyone else uses. Now this build has working wifi, bluetooth, hw/sw codecs,camera, camcorder, etc. but has broken radio and sensors.

A lot of people keep getting confused when I say RIL functions and broken radio because the one in the dev section has working radio, but broken mms. So a lot of you think that he's working on the same build, which isn't true at all. Once TeamHacksung moved over to CM7 on MTD, JT did too. So he essentially started fresh, ported a lot of his fixes for our phone, and is still working very hard. But as of right now, He is working on getting radio fixed and we are getting very very close.

Just so people aren't confused, this is NOT the same as the one on xda, the one here uses a .32 based AOSP kernel, while the one he's working on now uses a .35 based kernel.

Hope this helps you guys understand why certain things are now fixed and while other things are broken. :)
[Fascinate General] CrucialBT:
Thanks for bringing us up to speed times. I appreciate the explanation of the differences as I had no clue there were any.

Needless to say, I'm extremely looking forward to this. I haven't tried any type of ASOP build yet on my fascinate as I've always needed some of the components that weren't working. I've been tempted to try JT's latest CM7, but have decided to remain asop "pure" until JT gets this version working.
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
Thanks so much times for updating us, clearing up some confusion, and doing it in a way we can all understand. Always a great source of info.

times, thanks for the very informative post. Good to hear about the progress, and learn a few things in the process. I'm an embedded software engineer, so although I haven't had the time to figure out the roms and actually do development, I still find the info regarding how it all works very interesting.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
/methinks you should head over to #samsung-fascinate on freenode and help those guys out ;)

This is probably well known by you, but imnuts wrote a basic guide on how to get started on ROM development.

[Fascinate General] jmac9:
Thoroughly confused now. I've been on CR1.2 and really thought I was set to stay put with settings - good battery life, like the look etc.

then I see CR 2.0 come out so I dld just in case and now i see jt updated the CM6 (but then I see that is different then the CM7....thought CM7 was just an improvement over CM6)......so I dLd it anyway and now my head is spinning. Too many decisions. Looks like my day will be spent flashing to see which version of ComRom I like and then is CM6 better or should I wait until CM7.......ugh. Thats what I get for staying away from flashing for close to a month - now I'm waaaaaaay behind.
[Fascinate General] pikanate1:

JT is the man for doing this for us.
