Sounds like you may need to call Verizon and have them resend the activation signal, or go online and switch out an esn with another phone, and then switch back.
[Fascinate Android Development] chrisexv6:
Search this thread for "assert" and you will see one person that had this issue, and the answer was to flash 7/4 first, then the newer build(s). Something with how build 8 and higher handles the install thru Clockwork (even with the version posted in the OP)

I followed their instructions and it worked fine for me on the first try. My only question was if I wanted to put on build 9 could I wipe DATA in addition to cache, just to get a fresh start. I didnt attempt it though, opting for wiping cache and dalvik only and flashing build 9 over build 8. All worked well for that too.
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
Yea it may be worth a try, but it is strange that jt himself came in and said that he always flashes the latest version which is strange if some have to use this work around.

EDIT: I just flashed the 7/4 build first and it worked. Just got done flashing build 9 so now I am flashing gapps.
[Fascinate Android Development] Codiusprime:
I'm going to try this next.
[Fascinate Android Development] JWFokker:
Wifi and GPS aren't working for me, but data, calls, etc work. No other problems really. Any ideas?

wipe data and reflash

[Fascinate Android Development] hesh.monster:
That's the same way I finally got it working, start with 7/04 then straight to 7/09. Took me a while to figure out not to wipe data with the updates. 3 days worth of ODIN is very frustrating ;)

Up and running on build 9 now and no plans to turn back, this thing smokes.

Trying to flash from CommRom 2.1 to CM7. I first flashed the op's cwm. When I try to flash CM7.1.0-Fascinate-KANG-0709.zip, I get the message "(Status 7) Installation Aborted."

What now? Thanks.

[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
It seems like the most reliable way to flash the 7/9 build is from cwm4 which is installed by any previous version of cm7 or miui. I don't think it's an issue with the rom but with the recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] Lodingi:
I appreciate your help. Unfortunately I'm getting the same error with the 07/04 rom. This is quite annoying.
[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
Try following what landshark68 says in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104827

This fixed the status 7 error for me when I first flashed CM7 from a TW rom. Hope this helps.
[Fascinate Android Development] Lodingi:
Ahh. That seems to have worked. Now do I do the same with 07/09?

Edit: Yes I do. Lol.

I wiped data between TB 7 and 9 with no problems. Are you not supposed to wipe data?
[Fascinate Android Development] ezas:
I'm back on EB01 because on two different installs I got all kinds of errors about my SD Card. It happened with two different cards. Both cards work fine on EB01. The first build it happened on was 0704 and I came from CommROM. The second build it happened on I came from flashing EB01 with pit file. I was running EC09 radio and OTB kernel on both builds. I forgot to mention the 2nd build was 0707.

I have never run the EC09 leak or used Gingerbreak. But no one else is reporting this on this thread so I'm very perplexed on how to get on this without sd card errors.

Any ideas are welcome but not really expected. I think my next try will be to try with an older radio. Not sure what other variation I could try.

Except got the SD card issue they were both good solid builds with good data, battery, and GPS. On 0707 I had good in-call audio without changing any settings. So the SD card thing is very strange. Never a problem on any other ROM.

One other thing. One install was over EXT and the other was over RFS. So the only common elements are the kernel, the radio, the phone, and the ROM.

I have a feeling at some point it will just work itself out.
[Fascinate Android Development] Lodingi:
Bloody Hell! Now when I try to install 07/09, I get the same Status 7 error. This after I edit the file.

To make matters worse, I can't restore to CommRom 2.1.
[Fascinate Android Development] heffzilla:
I flashed straight to it from ComRom 2.1 w/the recovery from imnuts' kernel, no problems at all. Works great
[Fascinate Android Development] hesh.monster:
It seems to me that everyone is having a different experience while flashing this. I've heard wipe, don't wipe, use CWR-ALL, use the fixed CWR...etc etc

I was just sharing how it worked for me, results may vary should be posted after giving any advice in here i suppose.

Status 7 errors are always caused by tthe first five lines in the updater-script. Nothing else. The ONLY way to get it to work then is to delete those first 5 lines with Notepad++.
[Fascinate Android Development] buur11:
Has anyone had a problem with the menu/home/etc keys not working with the 7/09 update? I was on 7/04 and they were working fine. Wiped dalvic and cache and installed the new rom and they wouldn't light up or respond. Went back into cwm and wiped all 3 and reinstalled and they still weren't working. Not sure if I am missing something simple here.
[Fascinate Android Development] chrisexv6:
I lost mine for a bit yesterday, but locking the phone (pressing power) and then unlocking the phone made them come back. Hasnt happened since. If it happens again and Im near a PC ill try to get a logcat.

I am trying to update my ORLY but I can't get the dialer to come up. Anyone know how to get it to come up?
[Fascinate Android Development] FDro:
make contact "*228,,,,,2" and call it
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
That doesn't solve the bigger issue though.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hilbe:
Yes. I've also had the wifi lose connectivity where it shows only white bars, not green ones. I have to disable/reenable wifi to fix it.
[Fascinate Android Development] AlgorithmX:
Press and hold the menu button until the keyboard pops up.
[Fascinate Android Development] OneAn9ryN00b:
Iv always had this issue with the cm7 for fascinate, usually it only happens when I get a txt message, and I choose it from the drop down menu first. Buts as someone already stated i just lock, and unlock the phone again, it it all works again.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hilbe:
I can confirm the menu/home/etc buttons not working after receiving text messages. Once I lock/unlock they work again.
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
I will give that a try but *22899 didn't work for me. Anyone else have problems updating the PRLs?
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
I downloaded and flashed with pretty much no problem until I realized I didn't have a gmail icon nor a market icon. I reflashed rom, reflashed gaaps, wiped then got stuck on a startup screen where I had two options, emergency call and change language, then it would just reboot. I'm going to go all the way back to DL09 and try doing it all over again. Am I missing something? Can I just reboot into recovery and flash the rom or do I have to install new CWM first or what?
[Fascinate Android Development] buur11:
Hmm... mine just don't turn on at any point. Not sure what is going on here.
[Fascinate Android Development] mattstakilla:
Something new I'm experiencing is a constant ring, not the phantom ring that has been fixed, this is a new contsant ring i get when i get voicemail notification. it keeps playing my notification ringtone over and over. until i unlock the phone and pull down the notification bar. then it goes away

so i just turned off notifications for it. i dont check my voicemails that much anyway
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
That's a bug in the current cm code afaik. Users on other devices have reported it also.
[Fascinate Android Development] jbjarko:
I too am having problems with installing it. I get the status 7 error on damn near any combination of CWR I'm coming from. I Odin'd a clean EB01 too. Tried the fixed CWR with both the fixed updater script file and the regular. Neither worked.

Ah, oh well :(
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
The other thing that I am seeing when I try to update the PRL is that it basically kills the radio. Has anyone successfully updated with *228?
[Fascinate Android Development] bilbotn:
Did you reboot afterwards?
[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
You shouldn't have to edit the file again once you have done it the first time. As a matter of fact, that could be your problem. Try re-downloading the 7/09 build and flash it without editing anything. Make sure you flash in the orange cwm 4 that installed when you flashed the other CM7 build
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
I have.
[Fascinate Android Development] jbjarko:
I went from the 7/1 build to the 7.9 build with no ill effects. Holy crap this is awesome. Get us some MMS working and I'll be super stoked!

voltage control settings

After flashing the 7/09 rom, has anyone else noticed that their voltage control settings reset even after setting to boot? If I do a reboot after setting up voltage control, my settings stay at 1000mhz min, cfq sheduler and performance governor. I have flashed 3 different kernels with no change. No complaints from me cause i run my governor on performance anyways cause it makes the phone snappier.
[Fascinate Android Development] Lodingi:
Hmm. I tried the unedited file first. When that failed, I edited the file. Now that I'm thinking, I didn't get the orange cwm when I flashed the 07/04 rom. It was still red.
[Fascinate Android Development] xceebeex:
Is there a secret to it? Every time that I try it just says that it failed. Doesn't even get to the point where it is supposed to reboot. And what is really word is that it kills the radio each time that I tryand I have to reboot.
[Fascinate Android Development] jdellingson7:
Ya i tried every combination too, guys on irc got me straightened out though. Here is what seems to work. Odin eb01 with pit, flash recovery jt posted. Flash 7/4/11 build with asserts removed in zip. (Landshark has the how to remove asserts posted in General) Once you are on mtd you can flash the 7/9 build as is. I wiped everything before flashing 7/9 but probably not neccessary. Flash gapps and profit :)

Have had 100% success with this 3 times
[Fascinate Android Development] Lodingi:
Dam. This blows. I flashed 07/04. I booted to the homescreen. I then re-booted and flashed the orange cwm. I then tried to flash the unedited 07/09 file and got the status 7 error.

Any reason why these roms can't be provided as .tar files?

I edited the 07/09 file and still get the staus 7 error.
[Fascinate Android Development] nobnoobody:
The keypad not being available during activation is very frustrating. At the same time... persist, persist, persist with the workarounds.

I'm convinced that VZW is having troubles handling activations. I've been juggling between a Droid Incredible 1, two Droid 1s and a Samsung Fascinate, and every single one of them have been a nightmare to activate with CM7.

I don't know if it's on Verizon's end or what, but it's a crapshoot and with each I just kept trying. Keep up with the *228 and *2289 or 99, whatever it is. You can also try the pauses too, that worked one of the times for me.

The final time, it said it failed but it acted differently and the 3G started working a few minutes later. Just keep trying.

Finally, the buttons don't stay lit up as-per the backlight, this is annoying for those moving from phones with different button arrangements. Also, the buttons will fairly regularly deactivate for me, and I don't receive texts at all (Google Voice, all pure data, no SMSes enabled). This happens once or twice a day and can be annoying. Not sure what might be causing it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jpac175:
So i just flashed test build 9 going from test build 7 and i boot-looped so i had to wipe everything:mad: then i flashed all the the original file and all the other ones consecutively, then rebooted and now everything is fine and dandy what a fu*king headache tho. Ok and i have a question for JT, the comrom has mms working?! why is it not working on this build ??:confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] TtWEAK:
ComRom is TouchWiz this is AOSP.

Write really big and change to bold red.

They really like that....
[Fascinate Android Development] akaine2001:
Why the f is this not in the OP? I'm tired of all this posts about it not working. And can you edit the asserts and make another flashable so we dont have to edit it first? I hope they get this rom more user friendly, I never went through this with nightly cm roms on n1. Editing the zip? Gtfo....that's too much, why do you think this is all cluttered and same questions now...
[Fascinate Android Development] jami2976:
I just realized that I have never had to do a *228 to reprogram my phone, I have flashed multiple roms and radios and after each install I reboot my phone and within about 5 mins my voice and 3g work like normal...must be one of the lucky ones and cm7 rocks running the updated 0709 & its awesome!!!
[Fascinate Android Development] beenz:
Quick question. When the radio dies, does the wifi/3g and signal bars just go white, or is it more obvious?

Thanks. Loving this rom so far :)

[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
How is going through a few folders, opening up a file, and removing a couple of lines "too much"? If you feel like doing just that will require much thought and exertion, maybe you should refrain from flashing. Ask yourself this: do you really want jt to gtfo after all he's done and continuing to do?
[Fascinate Android Development] jdellingson7:
Man i love this rom, great job JT. Although after a few calls i have lost my audio in outgoing. Is anyone else having this issue? On 7/9 build
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
If you have nothing to add other than that, please go back to the general section. A little digging on your part would give you the answers as to why it's like this. This is a developers forum the last time I checked.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
and you wonder why you're ignored

there is no need to edit the zips, apparently people are having issues that I HAVE addressed and CAN NOT reproduce. I don't troubleshoot user error (it's often apparent that's what it is)

and to answer the question you have CONTINUALLY asked (since you can't seem to figure it out on your own), I AM NOT CATERING TO PEOPLE THAT DO NOT USE VZW. I have no use for such modifications, nor any way to test them, frankly nor do I care.

YOU gtfo

Expressing Frustration

Sometimes you are just in the mood to get on a high horse.

Don't flash a development ROM and then ***** and moan and talk about things blowing in a development thread.

I did six flashes back to Stock in two days. And now I need to go back to CommROM. So another rebuild.

But when I posted I keep to the facts. No whining and moaning about how frustrating it was. As the saying goes: I knew this job was dangerous when I took it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
Jt, as I read through some of the posts where people are whining and moaning about things "not this" or things "are this" on the "TEST BUILD" I'm almost embarrassed on behalf of this community. Please remember that 99% of us have a tremendous amount of appreciation and respect for our developers. Not forgetting what they surrender to bring us cell phone goodness. On behalf of that 99%....THANK-YOU SIR.
[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
To get to orange cwm, you have to boot to recovery from the power menu or through adb/terminal emulator. You know that right? :p I'd try to Odin back to EB01 then flash the edited 7/01 or 7/04 ( iw ent from stock to edited 7/01), then flash the current build. That ought to get you up and running in no time.
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Thank you
[Fascinate Android Development] Lodingi:
Yeah I flashed to the orange cwm. I still get the same errors. I finally got back to CommRom 2.1 but it was brutal just getting it to boot.

This is the first time I've had any issues flashjng rom. I think I'm going to give it a rest for a day and try again.

Thank you for your patience and help.
[Fascinate Android Development] AuroEdge:
To followup on my earlier post, I had an ESN swap done and am still having issues with Maps Latitude eating much more battery on CM7 than on TW. The problem seemed to be that I had a flaky data connection which was location independent. Not sure what the problem is but not a big deal to disable. Was wondering if anybody else had the same issues.

On a side note, thank you jt1134 for introducing me to Unknown Hinson haha

[Fascinate Android Development] xelsewherex:
A holes like that make me wish it was OP and updates only in the dev section. We already have QnA and general section. Just have a separate bug hunting thread and keep these threads concise.

Between the haters and question askers who can't even bother to read an op, these threads are just too unmanageable. And it becomes even more understandable that people ask the same question because how can you expect some to read through a few dozen pages to see if a question has been asked and answered.

Just my two cents. Great and ever improving rom jt. Thanks for the time you devote to the fasc community

[Fascinate Android Development] upsidedownaaron:
just wiped cache and dalvik cache. coming from 7/4 to 7/9. took about a minute. no problems.

other than the obvious known bugs. this rom is pretty awesome.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
Hmm. I wish it were that way for myself. I have to always wipe data from 7/04 to get the update to take. Oh well, I suppose it'll be sorted out soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] pc1990:
I'm on my way back to stock eclair for the time being until I figure out where I want to go next.:( With the latest build I was getting phantom rings when someone would call, indicator lights would stay on, calls wouldn't go through. I didn't have these issues with the 7/4 build so it's kind of weird. Anyways keep up the good work JT! I love your roms and your work is greatly appreciated by the community. I have a feeling I'm going to be back to this rom very soon.:D
[Fascinate Android Development] bobthesalesclerk:
I must be lucky because all of the builds flash perfectly over the build I am on, I haven't gotten a phantom ring since the deep sleep issue was fixed, all calls work fine and can be heard on both ends, speaker phone is working better with the 7/9 build, in call audio is still a little low but much better, and all calls I have made/received have gone through without a single flaw.

Steps I followed from stock froyo

1. pushed cwm3 in odin

2. flashed voodoo otb cwm

3. 3 finger to recovery/let my phone convert to voodoo

4. flash CM7

5. reboot/recovery/gapps

6. reboot/recovery/otb

7. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Since deep sleep was fixed this rom has been 99% stable for me and has given me no issues. I will be using nothing but this rom until the final version is released. As I have stated before MMS is no big deal...It's nice to have but I will take this roms vast improvements over having MMS.

Great work JT and nemesis. Thank you for making my awesome phone...ummm...awesomer(hmmmm). :)
[Fascinate Android Development] ChrisDDD:
I haven't had a single problem flashing these builds either. I always think it's best to start clean each time, so I just reboot into CWM, format /system /data and /dbdata, wipe dalvic and then flash the rom. No errors during flashing and no issues booting or afterwards.

Like you said, aside from the few known bugs, so far, this seems to be rock solid. No phantom rings, no failed calls, in-call audio is now fine. MMS is totally a non-issue, I just tell people to e-mail photos instead of sending them through MMS. Battery life is very good and the phone is nice and fast.

Thanks for all the work JT, really amazing what you've accomplished.
[Fascinate Android Development] antcardi:
This thread is sure getting a lot more positive.... Time to get your donate on... Or get JT's thank-o-meter to 2,000?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Yeah the build for the mes is rock solid for me as well. I think I'm in love. JT will you marry me :D. Kidding man. Great work though.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7 Mesmerize.
[Fascinate Android Development] Lodingi:
Did you flash to the latest CM7 build, or did you take incremental steps? Also, which Froyo (rooted?) rom did you start out on? Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] Not_So_There:
I also had to turn off Latitude as well since maps was showing that it was using a large portion of my battery. I also have gps disabled like I did in the touchwiz rom but I never had this issue with the those. I can't see as to why though.
[Fascinate Android Development] akaine2001:
Not "too much" for me personally, i'm just saying, seems like fascinate has tons of, for lack of a better word, noobs... ...look at how many times people have been getting stuck man it's not my fault don't come at me like that you don't know nothing about me. i don't have a problem with it.... i flashed it, couple of times, but i cant get data working on cricket yet so i went back to comrom. i might try the new comrom but i'm waitin to see how many SDs get fried first. go sit down.
[Fascinate Android Development] akaine2001:
Like I said, I personally wasn't having this issue, i did mine in Notepad++... I was saying that because everyone else was cluttering the thread with the "i'm stuck on this screen and that screen" all day, and all I wanted to see was him say something about cricket. and he said he dont G.A.F. so i guess we'll have to figure it out without his help. i was using GTFO as a figure of speech. Like, "these people all keep making the same mistakes and you don't put the fix on the op so they don't have to search and clutter the thread?!?!?!? GTFOH" like that... not so much being a dickhead saying GTFO JT... i wasn't saying that.. you people must be like super nerdy no personality ass guys or something, you can't even comprehend language and figure of speech through text. and you always take things so seriously. Lighten up a bit, i'm blunt, but not being arrogant 98% of the time here if you look at my other posts... bye..
