[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exiled_SouL:
Don't use Rom-manager for flash,update,backup.it gives u more trouble then it solves.experienced user recommend not to use it. :)

i am also in same situation like you few days ago usb bricked and stuck on stock rom..and i solved my problem by doing this steps.

after i unlocked my sd card via fastboot command"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" sd card recognized by phone and i can browse it via file explorer.

then i copied the visionary+(it gave me temporary root access which is needed to work this whole thing out).

root explorer,terminal emulator apk and those usb bricked update file(image_flash,mtd0.img) to sdcard from pc via card reader and installed them.

before copy those update file on sd card i edited the mtd0.img to put correct cid n rom info via hex editor.

after that i copied those update file in phone memory

/data/data/ and set permission for r/w and execute with the help of root explorer as i got root permission

after that i simply typed this command in terminal emulator

"su

/data/data/flash_image misc /data/data/mtd0.img"

Rebooted my phone and voila usb brick is gone htc sync,usb tethering,sd card mount,charge everything is working
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigboy2008:
i fixed it with a little help

OK my wife has the same phone as me so all i did was use clockwork recovery to make a back up img of her phone and then i flashed it and it had all her data and the phone went in to safe mode so i factory reset and its now all fine and working with the original rom :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddatep:
I am new to the forum and I am looking for the easiest way to root my fascinate sch-i500 phone. It has Froyo 2.2.1 currently. Any help is appreciated.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc1990:
No worries. Use Z4 root, its a one click method which will do what you want rather easily. I posted a link below to a thread which includes the apk file and instructions on how to use it.

If you just want to root, find a one click root app. If you want to flash roms :

One tip: Read the stickies in the Development section. Your better off knowing what your doing instead of blindly following our advice. Sorry if this comes as a bit of a downer, but its for your own good.

Sent from my Fascinate with MIUI Gingerbread
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc1990:
^ Yup, he's right...The z4 root apk I posted does work 99.9% of the time without a hitch but sometimes things don't always go as planned and you may end up having to Odin because of it. Like TheSonicEmerald recommended read though the stickies and see what it will take to get your samsung fascinate back up and running again if something were to go wrong. It will save you a lot of time when it does happen, and believe me, if your going to be flashing roms and such things WILL go wrong. This isn't to scare you or anything, it is to assure you if anything goes wrong the forum is here to help. I've learned this one word of advice over my time here and thats, "YOU CAN NEVER BRICK AN ANDROID PHONE."I hope this helped you out a little. Happy modding:cool:.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsightGoalie:
I'm not new to rooting at all, I have rooted several devices. A friend of mine just got a Fascinate and all the info I'm finding seems old and depricated. Will this z4root still work? Is it simple enough for a newb to do? She really just wants root for the wifi tether for root users.

On Gingerbread apps can't change GPS settings anymore. I found a plug-in for Tasker to use SU commands. I would like tasker to be able to change the GPS state regarding of the gingerbread security measures. I'm just not very familiar with those.

Is there a way to change the GPS state using SU commands?

And if yes, what would that command or those commands be?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanfastic:
Hi all

Recently and sadly I dropped my tab and it hit the floor face down right on a corner. Lots of lovely cracks now cover that corner and some go right across the screen. My indecisiveness around picking a case no doubt did not help this situation. It has a screen protecter that holds the broken section in but little chips still come loose. Story being I need to replace it.

There's parts available on ebay and a vid on how to take apart on youtube. My question is has any had any experience? Got any tips?

Apologies if there's a section on this somewhere but I did a search and couldnt find anything.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Www.tv-mall.com. They sell the front glass. Google galaxy tab front glass replacement and you will see a youtube video showing you how to dismantle the tab. The link in the video will take you to the store to buy the tools. The project takes a week for the parts to come from China, and twenty minutes to complete. The cost was $130 US.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnolsen:
Messing with my nook color I used rom manager to update clockwork on there. While I was at it i installed it on my gtablet and then selected to update the clockwork itself. I have vegantab installed on the g tablet.

Unfortunately what's happened is that holding down "power and +" shows the key press message but it just tries to boot into vegan, which then goes into an endless boot cycle in the vegantab intro screen. I'm trying to install clockwork back onto there but it seems that nvflash is no longer working.

I have a 2GB card, I've done no partitions and 1 partition FAT32. Frankly its been since early april since I've messed with the tablet so I can't remember exactly how to get the update to boot (yes i have the recovery/command and update.zip files in the root).

Sorry, apparently rom manager toasted the tablet. I'm in process of redoing nvflash, etc to get back to vegantab.

Could someone make the edits to this rom please. It's de-odexed leaked gingerbread for the fascinate

THANKS IN ADVANCE
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
No and no.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
I'm running it right now. I made the edits for the ec01 radio, but MMS is not working....yet. msybe dfgas will be able to look at it eventually and see what changes need to be made.

Other then no MMS it's sweet.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
MMS is probably just apn stuff still being configured for Verizon. Quickest fix would likely be to get GO SMS Pro and change MMS UA and APN stuff if you know what to change, or if you have the knowhow you can do some magic with mms settings on the homescreen. I forget how to do that stuff though.

/edit: Just checked the fassy thread, thought he had fixed MMS there and it just wasn't working for you. Looks like MMS and sensors are still broken but he fixed GPS! Yay!
[Samsung Mesmerize] evilntention:
Can you post a link to the edited build you made? Who needs mms anyways, lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
I think it is a touch wiz based gingerbread leak. I think everything works as far as I can tell
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
everything works but mms and contacts are a bit laggy. i have an edited build.prop that ill be making a flashable .zip out of soon so after you flash the ROM you can flash my .zip and be off of verizons market!!! just be sure that you have never logged into the market while on this ROM till ou flash the build.prop or it may keep you on the verizons market...will be uploaded by tonight and ill post a link in this post!!!:D

there is the download!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
so the same edits that where made to froyo fascinate roms don't work to get mms and such working or is mms not working on nameless 4.1 period?

Is there an app or a way I can get my calendar to sync up with more then 30 days say for instance 6 months or maybe even a year would be awesome.

On launcher pro, set up an extra screen with no shortcuts or dock icons on it, with a transparent dock, and set your home button so it hides the status bar. Run drocap2 and take a screen dump of that blank page, then apply that screen dump as your wallpaper. Set all settings back to normal after.

Perform the following while tab is connected to pc via usb

1) open cmd prompt

2) cd to "adb.exe" directory (usually the android sdk tools directory)

3) adb shell

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to do it?

Reflash the stock kernel.

can someone elaborate on this procedure. after command #4, it says "mounting failed: Device or resource busy." Don't know how to procedure after this. If someone can charm in, it will be really appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
I am following the directions as posted by the original post.

I had already performed a OneClick Root previously, and that is working wonderfully.

I selected the zimage file in Heimdall, and that flashed successfully.

When I attempt to do a factory reset/data wipe, I gives me an Icon in the middle of the screen of a Black Hat on an Orange circle, and just hangs there.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Should it sit there for a very long time?
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Use the power button to select, not the menu button.

You hid the text.
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
Doh... Okay, now I feel like a total N00B!

Thank you greatly.
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:

[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
Anybody know how to create a CWM flashable zip for this fix? Would save us all some time.. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
Everything worked just fine once I learned to "unhide" the text.

Now, I've restored my apps and appdate, and am back to about 95% of working.

I haven't done the sensor update yet, but will shortly, and that will take care of the rotation capabilities.

What about the Camera? Is there a fix for that yet? Will I have to be without my camera until I flash an upgraded rom?

Thanks,

Claud
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
-------------------------------------------------------

To make this work properly, you need to umount your sd card from the Settings/SD Card and select unmount the card.

Then you can proceed with the instructions above. That will allow you to properly mount the card.

The reason you are getting the error of "device busy" is because the card is already mounted, and it won't you mount it twice.
[Galaxy Tab General] l8agin:
Sorry i can't help with that, but the method in this thread isn't hard at all either.
[Galaxy Tab General] l8agin:
I unmounted my sdcard and still cannot get the fix to work. Perhaps i'm not understanding the procedure correctly.

First I unmount the sdcard. Next I attach the tab to my computer. Then I run the cmd command. I change directory to the androidsdk\tools folder, then type in the commands. Does that sound right or am i missing something?
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
After using the instructions to root/install CWM, I have lost the ability to perform updates from Android Market.

Anybody else having similar issues?

### EDIT - Rebooted my Tab again this morning, and the Market seems to be working now. I have rebooted multiple times prior to this, but not sure what the issue is/was. Will keep this updated in the event of a problem again.
[Galaxy Tab General] dakota0615:
ok im doing the first one flash back to stock but i keep getting a binary error on my computer half way thru the process
[Galaxy Tab General] citydog5:
Does your problem have to do with /cache being mounted read-only?
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
Where is it giving you the binary error? I found that the best way to flash back to stock was the .tar.md5 file from the EA24 flasher, just rename the file and remove the .md5 then flash with Odin. Has worked perfect for me a handful of times (I flash various things too often.)
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
When i get to line #5, i get error "cannot create ... directory nonexistant"

any idea what i'm missing here?
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
I didn't check the status of /cache before I rebooted. It was late and my medications were making me foggy, so I just left it until this morning and rebooted. After the reboot, it worked fine.

It is very possible that /cache might have been mounted RO, but I can't attest to that.
[Galaxy Tab General] prezmater:
My sensor file was still in place, and I was actually able to put the new one in an overwrite the old one, but it did not fix the issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Yea, you always have to overwrite it. Make sure the permissions match and reboot. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do.
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
I actually had to use ADB to push the sensor file, root explorer wouldn't mount the system folder r/w, but once i pushed the file and rebooted auto rotate works great. Now if I could just manage to get the sd card mounting issue sorted I'd be set!
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
Is there anyway to get the Camera working after performing these steps?

I am very happy with the way this was documented and it worked perfect for me, I just want to see if there is a way to get a working camera now.

All other pieces appear to work as intended

Thanks,

Claud
[Galaxy Tab General] seewhyphotos:
My SD Mounting issue is still unresolved also.

I was able to get past the initial errors of "device busy", but I have performed the steps listed in this thread on how to get it to work, and I am still unable to mount the SD R/W. It is showing up as a CD-Rom still.

Wouldn't mind a little help also..
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
Seems not only is there a typo in this, but it's a workaround and not an actual "fix" When you tell the tab to connect to usb, it's still going to show up as a cd-rom. when you go through these 2 steps in ADB it makes the sd card show up r/w on your pc, but doesn't fix the usb mounting as a cd-rom issue. So this is a good workaround for those that don't have a usb card reader, just wish it was an actual fix for mounting usb.
[Galaxy Tab General] l8agin:
Thanks for pointing out the typos. I finally got it to work but yes, it sucks it's only a workaround. I'm assuming there's no permanent fix then. Would installing a new rom or kernal possibly solve this and the other issues people are having (rotation fix, camera, etc)?

[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Yea, I'm going to flash to stock JUST to be sure.
[Galaxy Tab General] kruuth:
When I try that flash back to recovery it gives me an error thatit can't find the binary. WHere can I get ver 28?
[Galaxy Tab General] ktran1588:
Flash to EA24 and you will get an update notification for EB28. That's what happen to me
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
That's a fairly normal error with the EA24 flasher. Best way to get back to stock IMO is to rename the .tar.md5 to just .tar and use Odin to flash it. Then once you're back to stock you should get a system update notice, or you can go into settings and force it to look for an update.
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
I've never tried Heimdall to flash to stock. Odin is just too easy. No reason not to use it.
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Posted the Honeycomb and Better than Life roms in the OP.

If you know of more, link me and I'll add them.

the EF17 update.zip that i pulled directly from my tab when I got the notice it was available.

http://www.mediafire.com/?cngx5e67dgbq04y

More than likely you'll have to rename it to update.zip and put it on the root of your sd card to get it to work.
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Added to OP, thanks for the link.
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
always glad to help people in the same boat I am. :) Just wish i was a little better with some of this stuff so I could actually get a custom kernel with root compiled. Then we'd be in great shape and have a fantastic Tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] gsu_golfer:
Yep, now we have to wait on someone to figure out how to root GB :(
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
So far, from what i've seen/read, the only way we'll get root back with GB is a custom kernel with root/SU built in. I know we have a few devs that could piece this together, so hopefully we won't have to wait long. And then maybe we'll have a better working version of CWM to go with it.. :)
