I was able to get it to flash by flashing the AOSP MIUI first then flashing the rom. Just make sure to use adb to reboot recovery, not the three finger method
[Fascinate Android Development] AlgorithmX:
Try flashing CM7 Test 3 and then flash Test build 5.
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:
Where are the prior releases? The OP has only the most recent.

Tried the MIUI route and am unable to reboot into recovery from MIUI reboot menu even after flashing the rom three times.

Editing the rom is beyond my pay grade
[Fascinate Android Development] bobthesalesclerk:
I have no idea what the rules on doing something like this are so if I am not allowed to do this please remove this post.

I am not responsible for anything this does to your phone but it worked perfectly on mine after getting the error status 7. I also take no credit for any of this.

[Fascinate Android Development] obsidianchao:
If you did what I did (remove the first four lines of the update-script), then good.

I finally got it to work.

And it's beautiful.

I came buckets.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobthesalesclerk:
Unpacked the rom, edited the updater script, re zipped the rom. It's for people getting errors when they first try to flash the rom. Read back a couple of pages to see what we're talking about.

Battery Life?

I haven't noticed any posts about this, but how is the battery life so far? I know this is an alpha, but users of other phones are reporting superior battery on GB than on 2.2

Also...

That's when I'm flashing. Hardly anybody sends me MMS these days, thankfully.
[Fascinate Android Development] tps784@yahoo.com:
editing the rom was beyond me as well. I couldnt find test version 3, so I tried to install cm6 than wipe and than installed cm7. Worked the first try.
[Fascinate Android Development] turtleman2008:
you can get into recovery by also using terminal emulator:

type "su" then "reboot recovery" (without the quotes of course)
[Fascinate Android Development] dablitzkrieg:
Horrible battery due to 65% of my battery being drained by softlocker. Hopefully it is the softlocker, but I need it as most do for incoming calls
[Fascinate Android Development] famousface:
FYI - to get the phone to ring from the phone while on Bluetooth, go to settings, wireless & networks, Bluetooth settings, long press your device, options, and uncheck media.

Is it a known issue that in-call volume isn't adjustable (although Bluetooth in-call volume is)? It seems like it is permanently set at 80% of what was in comm rom.

I'm still missing a few calls even with softlocker running.

As for battery life, the hardcore user will get much better battery life than the froyo roms. My screen on went over 4.5 hours. With softlocker running you won't get the standby time of Community Rom.

There are few quirks mostly related to the phone: in-call volume, missed calls, radio dying, etc. But overall, it works very well. Amazing work on JT's part.
[Fascinate Android Development] cableguy1:
Here's how I installed this rom:

I disabled voodoo, installed the miui rom from andmer, installed terminal emulator app from market, ran "su" command, then ran "reboot recovery" command, flashed latest CM7 from JT. this worked great. don't forget to wipe data. Then just flash gapps and your golden.

Hope this helps... btw, I don't know if you need to disable voodoo, I simply couldn't remember!
[Fascinate Android Development] dablitzkrieg:
I don't believe it is necessary.
[Fascinate Android Development] times_infinity:
It isn't since the phone gets repartitioned to mtd and all the partitions get formatted as yaffs2 and data reformatted as ext4.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobthesalesclerk:
Well this sucks. I had to reboot my phone but for some reason I am getting stuck on the boot screen. The android dude with the skateboard comes out and freezes when the arrow starts spinning around him. Have been trying to boot my phone for about 15 minutes and it keeps happening. And this is 20 minutes before I have to leave for work :(

After it freezes it will reboot, start loading again, and the same thing will happen. Going to try and revert back to ED01 before I have to leave for work.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
Can we install this newest version from a TW com rom phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
I notice the file is only 81 mb. Do you think I should install nemisis2all's newest OTB kernel (out today)?
[Fascinate Android Development] cableguy1:
Ya, I figured...oh well.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
Alright guys I need a little assistance.

I wiped all my data and I tried to install this ROM. I installed a kernel first which took, but the ROM gave me multiple errors.

Now I can't boot up into anything, including recovery. What should I do to get this on my phone?

For some reason I can't even get into download mode. Maybe I forgot how to do it? I hold down both battery buttons as I'm popping my battery back in and connected to USB?
[Fascinate Android Development] nemesis2all:
To go to download mode hold volume - (down) with battery removed while inserting usb cable.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
Thank you nemisis. Now can you PLEASE let me know what I should Odin to get to CM7?

I want to use your new kernel, but how do I get on the CM7 rom?
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
I'm on DL09 I believe with no recovery. How do I put on CWM and then move into putting CM7 on my phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] thedoman:


Understood. I had those problems but your last post was short on details. Thanks for doing it. I didn't know how.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
So I've got CWM on my phone now. The one that was updated last 3/30.

Now what do I do to get CM7 ROM to work. I keep getting shut out by an error 7.

Problems with 3G

I just installed CM7 build 5, Everything looks amazing and seems to work very well but I have a problem with 3G, basically the 3G icon shows when I open the browser, but it never transmit anything :(, after a few seconds the 3G icon disappears. I tried turning airplane mode ON/OFF several times with no luck, also downloaded softlocker using wifi but it isn't helping either. Any suggestions?

Thanks

EDIT: I also tried to dial *228 to reactivate/update roaming but the activation wizard screen only shows the "speaker" button, there is no dial pad to select the options so now my phone does not have service at all... I'm going back to stock and give it another try later :(
[Fascinate Android Development] obsidianchao:
Okay, everything is working, and all I can say is... holy.
[Fascinate Android Development] bigwilly90210:
so wait what? is this 85mb build the latest one that works? cause the one i keep getting from the OP keeps failing the install (status 7). wtf? lol. something about "getprop" in there. i just odined back to EB01 and repartitioned. then flashed the red CWM and tried flashing the OP's link that's 92mb. idk, but i'll try the 85mb one from this post. :S
[Fascinate Android Development] obsidianchao:
Yes. This is.

IF YOU GET STATUS SEVEN ERROR:

Open the .zip with Winrar (DO NOT EXTRACT)

Go to META-INF/Google/Android/something-script (sorry, memory is a bit foggy)

Open that with Notepad++

Delete the first four lines

Save and exit Notepad++

Confirm the Winrar prompt

Close Winrar

Flash

And you're done.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
I had to fool around with this a bit. Basically just keep going back to EB01 and installing CWM and eventually the install will take.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobthesalesclerk:
A

A few pages back I posted the rom with some changes to the update script. That should flash for you if you get the error. Its 2 or 3 pages back.

[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
CM7 is awesome! How come theres no reboot to download/recovery option when you long press power?
[Fascinate Android Development] JoshDB:
If you click on reboot, it gives you either normal or recovery. I was confused too at first.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
Everyone having the Status 7 or get.prop errors when trying to flash CM7 test 5, read the OP of the CM7 waiting room/discussion board thread. I updated it with nemesis2all's instructions on how to remove the asserts from the updater-script file so you can flash the ROM successfully. That way it is always in one easy to find location instead of having to scroll back page by page in this thread or cluttering this thread up with that question being repeated:

Camera Flash?

An issue I have that I haven't yet seen addressed is the camera flash. In the camera app and also in this app i use called search light by I-Mobo i think. It uses the cam flash as a flashlight. Since flashing to cm7 I have not seen the flash come on. Is there any work being done for that? Is it in the pipline? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Very Nice Rom, Can't wait for functionality to be perfect.

For the MMS, you can fix that from using the APNs from an official rom.

Backup APNs with APN Backup & Restore in the market using an official rom (or anything with working MMS) and Restore it on this rom.

[Fascinate Android Development] mirrinigma:
Further expansion on this- even with 100MHz turned off in voltage control, I would still have my Fascinate shut off during dialing and received calls turning on when the screen turned off. The fix for me was overvolting the 200MHz step by 25mv. I don't know why, it's stable at 950 in every other ROM and kernel that I've used, but at 975 everything's great.

Still unable to play any videos, either get "Sorry, this video cannot be played." or an extremely sickeningly choppy video in the best case, unless it's an old MPEG. Youtube works fine. Tried multiple players.

DSP force closes have stopped when placing or receiving calls suddenly, for no apparent reason.

So what is the purpose of the build.prop edit to look like nexus a? Is it for netflix? I tried to use galaxy tuner and it's telling me that I don't have galaxy s. Is there a way to make galaxy tuner work or is there another app that can modify the hardware equalizer?

[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
I may be wrong, but I believe we are using the nexus S build, just ported for our phone. I wouldn't know how to fix your issue though.
[Fascinate Android Development] spodg:
I had this problem after I flashed EB01. The problem is in hardware of the phone and has nothing to do with CM7 ROM or other software. You got 3G hardware failure. Even if you flash back to stock ROM, you will have this problem. Try reflashing back to stock, re-activate and such and see for yourself, it will not solve the issue. The only way to fix it is to replace the phone at Verizon.
[Fascinate Android Development] kuronosan:
Or he could call the guys at Verizon and have them do a line swap reset. It's a lot better than just flat out replacing the phone when it's more than likely a software issue. 3G Hardware failure? Really?
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
It happened to my cousin's Droid 2. One day it just refused to pick up any signal whatsoever, 3G or 1x. Nothing. I don't see why it isn't possible.

He could activate another device then reactivate the fassy on the vzw site..
[Fascinate Android Development] bigwilly90210:
I know it sounds kinda crazy, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I bought a *MINT* Fascinate off of eBay, in box and everything. Came with original Eclair. Radio worked fine on stock 2.1, OTA to 2.2 and radio worked kinda borky. Figured I'd try upgrading to latest UKB and radio via Odin to see how it worked. ROM an fantastic, but after the OTA my 3G icon would go green, work for 15 seconds, go gray, then disappear. Then, 15 seconds later it would repeat the whole process. Consistently like this for a whole day. Then I did the line swap reset with a Verizon rep after Odin (full pit map and everything) and all the updates and battery swaps I could stand. He couldn't figure out what was wrong. I even talked to some higher up reps. No one could give me an answer. Eventually I was forced to accept it wasn't a software error. There could be no other solution except some hardware failure. The weirdest part? Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, and all text messaging and calls worked perfect. There was nothing else wrong with it, even on stock. I have no idea what happened, I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one. I ended up returning it to seller, felt really bad. Bought another white one off eBay for $220 (slightly scuffed) and its been working like a charm. No matter what ROM, radio, kernel combo so far I've never had any issues. Except stuck in airplane, solved with battery pull. Sorry if this has nothing to do with ROM, but it came up so I thought I'd comment.

For now this CM7 build is blowing my mind with how fast it is. I will have no problem resisting these new phone for another year. I'm truly amazed. Thanks so much for all the hard work devs. :p Can't wait for LED flash/flashlight! ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] mattstakilla:
just installed it and loving it. 100%

also for people that are looking for a rom/kernel that allows the wiimote to connect to it. this one does it. Have been playing mario 64 through wiimote with no problems, alaso nesoid works just as well

Installed for the first time. Just got done setting up my phone. Great work on this! Very smooth. There are a few differences in need to get used to from touchwiz but minor ones. I am really enjoying the experience this far. Thanks for making this phone so fun!
[Fascinate Android Development] hesh.monster:
No need to use the website for this. Just turn your fascinate off, call *228 on an old phone (smart phone, dumb phone, it doesn't matter) choose option 1. Enter your 10 digit cell number when prompted and let it activate. Then wait about 5 minutes turn that phone off and repeat the process on your fascinate.

Done this twice on mine, works like a charm. I think it was times_infinity who told me this trick when I borked my radio messing about in the hidden dialer settings.

I am getting random soft keys working, all the sudden the menu will pop up, the keyboard will show up or I will get backed out of whatever application I am running. Any thoughts if this is hardware related or software? I took off my screen protector that was covering my soft keys, but I am still getting this quite often. Lots of haptic feedback as well when it is happening. I'm running the newest CM7 with the OTB kernal.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
I'm sure someone has a better way, but I always overwrite the fonts in the zip before I flash, just use 7zip. Its quick and easy pre-flash.

Which file(s) do you edit.
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
Open with 7zip, system/fonts/ then just drop in Clockopia.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf and DroidSans.ttf from your choice of font styles. There are a bunch here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801160 to choose from.

Does it still have the sleep issues where calls won't be received if it's in deep sleep? As soon as that's resolved, I plan to flash this and never look back. Currently, I can't afford to sacrifice the battery life by keeping it from going into deep sleep.
[Fascinate Android Development] kallell:
mms, deepsleep, and in call volume (somewhat) are still broken.
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
We are using the Nexus S MTD kernel, not their build.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
It's a little hit or miss with that. Mostly you'll get the call though. I don't know the full details truthfully.
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
umm, no to both of those. It's not perfect, and unless you know what you're doing and are able to deal with the stuff that's not working, no, everyone should not drop everything and install it.

I understand your enthusiasm, but it's a bit overblown. Some of us need our phones for important things (I have a job with oncall rotations, and I have 2 young kids) and can't afford things like missed calls.
[Fascinate Android Development] JWFokker:
Same here. Thought it was Miren Browser but it happens on the home screen too. It is definitely trying to back out of apps too. Very obvious when exit prompts pop up immediately after the keyboard jumps onto the screen for no reason. Tried switching keyboards but it made no difference.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Agreed. Once it gets fully functional / at least beta quality, I'll be on it like flies on poop, though.

Battery Life

So I searched this thread ahead of time for such reports, but I didn't really find any. So here goes.

1) I am using this ROM, test build 5. I am not experiencing any radio problems. I did a DL09 full ODIN restore before installing, so my baseband is still DL09.

2) I am not experiencing any lack of incoming calls. I am not using softlocker. No deep-sleep issues for me.

3) Battery life sucks. I get only about have of the time with the ROM vs STOCK. I lose 50% of charge just sleeping overnight.

So is it unusual that I am not having issues 1 & 2? What about the battery issue? Is anybody not running soft-locker, and if so: how is your battery life?

Let's not forget, this is an awesome ROM! Thanks!

/Andrew
[Fascinate Android Development] Crashspeeder:
It sounds like DL09 isn't letting the phone sleep and is killing your battery. Makes sense to me. A balance between the two would be nice, though I would guess that's something Samsung would have to fix.

This is the first release of cm7 I have actually been able to use with 0 problems(minus what is already known to not work).

This is solid enough for me to be my daily driver. The soft lock is not a problem because I use an extended battery and am on 12 hours unplugged with 40% left.

All in all this rom is spot on solid and I am loving it. No force closes or any issues so far :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Jpac175:
so if your thinking about flashing this rom just DO IT ! its sooo good. I love the render effects, setting the screen to red(night) saves a lot of battery.

I only have one very odd problem,... out of the blue my phone starting ringing like an alarm ring, not coming out of the speakers and it was very quiet. A reboot stops it but it has come back any ideas ?

and for the battery life, it does suck with that app on I uninstalled it and the battery is a lot better!
[Fascinate Android Development] scottzirra:
QFT. Had this issue with JT's last CM7 Alpha, and am definitely glad to find this easy fix. Honestly as soon as I installed VooDoo control app, the problem was solved, did not even have to enable volume keys hack.

On a different note has anyone else had issues with apps spam closing. It is almost as if my back button is picking up erroneous presses. I have not had the issue on the latest 2 updates, am wondering if this was inadvertently fixed or perhaps an issue with my previous flash.

Either way, JT you do great work, thanks so much for CM7 on the fascinate.
