[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PushyFurball:
So, I have the Samsung Fascinate from Verizon, had this phone when it was new and just found it again and it is much better than my blackberry, or so I thought. I am trying to install ICS build one by following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238070: - I have been able to install PW but when I am trying to install ICS1.zip (I renamed for simplicity purposes) I get the following errors: E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log and cache/recovery/last_log

I have read enough to know that I needed a class 6 or better SD card so I bought a Class 10 8 GB from Best Buy and gave it another shot. I have mounted and unmounted the SD card multiple times, and when installing it shows:

-- Installing: /sdcard/ICS Build 1.zo[

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing the update...

Installation aborted.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated by those with positive feedback or calling me ignorant and not finding the answer online. Again, thanks in advance.

P.S. Yes, I have installed everything up until step 19 is where it stops working
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
Hey, i have had this problem as well when installing ICS. First off i would recommend installing build 6 instead of build 6.1 because build 6.1 actually has more problems that build 6. you can get build 6 from here : http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16630-romicsiml74k-teamhacksungs-ics-port-for-fascinate-build-61-0201/

Now to fix your sd error, you need to use the odin program and flash your phone back to any stock firmware. Here is verizon stock EH03 : http://www.multiupload.com/4LC6JFCSFD I'm sorry it is such a large file, verizon puts a bunch of crap on their firmwares lol As for your sd card, i honestly do not think it makes a difference what class it is. I am using a class 2 16gb sd card and have never ever not been able to get something to work.

Now after that is done, and it has booted to stock verizon firmware, put the phone back into download mode and use the odin program again to flash a cwm recovery kernel. This one should do just fine, if for some reason it doesn't, let me know and i will upload mine and you can have it. http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1311907538

After you have used odin and flashed a cwm recovery, please power off your phone and hold down the volume up, down, and power keys at the same time till the samsung logo comes on, so you can go into the new recovery kernel that you flashed to it. Once there, go to the option where it says wipe data/factory reset. After that has completed, do the next option that says wipe cache. Once that is all done, you will say "install zip from sd card" and navigate to the .zip

Now here is where you have two options....you can either flash build 1 first and then build 6, or you can skip straight to build 6. Personally i would skip straight to build 6!! It should work just fine as long as you have wiped data and cache. The differences between build 1 and 6 are night and day and you would have to clear data and cache anyway after you had build 1, so you should be able to go strait to build 6. Other people i have helped went fine right to build 6

After installing the .zip, navigate to the option that says "reboot system now". if you encounter a boot loop that constantly goes into the cwm recovery, let me know! I have dealt with that first hand! let me know if you have questions

Also i recommend using the magnifying glass capacitive search key to make your selections when in cwm, because for some reason i feel using the power key was partly the reason i encountered the cwm boot loop
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
So you odined back to stock and then tried flashing build 1 in cwm4 fixed for mtd?

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

Build 6 link is dead...and for most flashing build 1 or 2 first is the only way ics build 6 will install. Also many folks have had trouble with class 2 sd cards...your not doing anything special more so just lucky its working for you.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PushyFurball:
That link does not work for me just FYI. I am currently back to stock (it's what I do when I can't get it to work because I am not to big of a powerwash fan. I have cwm4 to cm7. I believe it is 4.0.1. But I will search for the latest cwm recovery and put it on and see if that fixes any issues. I also saw somewhere a few days back that people format their SD cards on their PC but I do not remember what format so if that is completely irrelevant since the SD card is brand new (Almost 12 hours old) let me know. I will keep you posted and see it works.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
New link to build 6 : http://www.mediafire.com/?sjn6x76c48me9su

So if going right to build 6 didn't work, then you would just have to give it another try, but installing build 1 or 2 first. No big deal, however I do know people who have had it work just fine.

I never said i was doing anything special because i had a class 2 sd card. I simply find it hard to believe that the sd card would have that much of a bearing on whether or not you can install a rom on a phone. I realize some roms partition the sd card the way it wants it, but in the end, the rom is flashed onto the actual phone itself, not the sd card. I know what the difference is between different classes of sd cards so you don't have to explain.

Sorry i thought that link was working...here is the one i originally start out with when flashing from stock. : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32493357/cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PushyFurball:
Please don't hit me, dropbox link doesn't work either.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
Give it another try, it is working for me when i click on it
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PushyFurball:
When I go to "wipe data/factory reset" I still receive the errors about opening stuff and this is what it looks like

-- Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

Error mounting cache!

Skipping format...

Formatting /datadata...

Error mounting /datadata!

Skipping format...

Formatting /sd-ext...

Data wipe complete.

E: Can't open/mount /cache/recovery/log & .../last_long

-Exactly what I am doing step by step including what is clicked-

From stock, I open odin, pull out the battery, connect to PC via USB cord, press vol - on the phone. Then, I click, PDA, go to ..../Downloads and find the cwm4_fixed_for_cm7-ODIN.tar file and populate that portion of odin and put alas.2.2.pit in the pit section with the re-partition clicked. After completed, I go to odin, hit reset while the phone is still connected and then disconnect the phone. I put the battery in the back, press vol +/- and power and hold that until I see Samsung (which I don't see so I hold it for about 45 seconds to a minute and it boots it CWMR 4.0.1.0) and start trying to clear stuff and that is when I get the errors. So what I have done this time, is formatted the SD card in the recovery menu which I saw was not suggested, and I am going to try to just do a fresh install and maybe it was in the wrong format, who knows.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
Ok, turn your phone off, remove the memory card, and flash this kernel instead : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32493357/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5

Then put the memory card back in and boot to recovery

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Actually i have never put a pit file into odin. When ever i went back to stock i just did the stock .tar.md5 file and it worked fine. I am not sure what the pit file is used for so maybe i would not use that. Let me know if that voodoo recovery got rid of that error
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PushyFurball:
So the good news first, not putting PIT on their got rid of the errors of mounting and whatnot. Bad news is...

-- Installing: /sdcard/ICS Build 1.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

That is the same for Voodoo Lagfix and cwm4. :(

Now when I tried just the Build 6, it is constantly going to "Samsung" over, and over, and over again.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
Ok good you are making progress lol. So you did try it with build 1 initially and it didnt work? Thats strange because it usually does.

So have you gone completely stock without the pit file, loaded a cwm kernel, and then wiped data and cache and still no luck?

There are two different versions of ICS for the fasciante, one by alphalulz and the much better builds from teamhacksung. No matter what i tried and it didnt work on my device (before i eventually figured it out) , alphalulz's ICS V2 always would load on my device. It also loaded its own custom kernel as well, so when it installed, i would let it boot up to confirm the V2 version was working, and then i would clear all data and cache in the new kernel it gave you, and then would switch over to teamhacksungs builds.

here is the link to download the V2 rom : http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9687-rom-aosp-ics-extreme-alphalulz-v2-1118/
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PushyFurball:
Oh. My. Goodness. We have a good sign that this beast is going to work with Teamhacksung's versions... I don't really know what I did, I went back to stock with the pit file, downloaded build 1 while this was processing, and booted it up after it was finished. Then from there, I put that file, original name on my SD card and turned off my phone. Pulled the battery and odin'd cwm4 to cm7 and unplugged. Put the SD card in, booted to recovery, wiped the appropriate files, clicked install zip from SD card, picked the original name, and BAM!, it worked. So now I am going to try to put on build 6 and will edit this post to let you know if it worked or not. I am so happy I could literally jump up and down screaming like a little girl.

----EDIT----

Well, that failed miserably. Stuck on Samsung screen now. So, I guess back to step one.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
Hey your getting closer...you will get it dont worry lol

so you just had build 1 working right?? go from build 1 to build 5 (being sure to clear data and cache) and then from build 5 to 6, ONLY clearing cache. Going from build 5 to 6 does not require a data reset.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobkat48:
I installed FA16 (2012/1/16): ODIN CWM that was listed on the first page of the developement forum. There were no issues - only took a few minutes. Afterwards - nothing seems to have changed on my phone. the firmware is still 2.3.5, the kernel is still 2.6.35.7 and the build number is sch-i500-eh03. Have I missed something? The phone seems to be working OK. Note: I installed CWM from the ZIp file after I put it on the SD card in the root directory. Thanks for your help
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
No you haven't missed anything - you flashed a new recovery kernel. Do you know what the purpose of the recovery kernel is? The recovery does not effect your 2.3.5 operating system, the cwm recovery allows you to boot to it (by powering the phone completely down, and then holding the up volume, down volume, and power button simultaneously) and then you will be presented with a menu to install a custom rom such as the new android 4.0 or the cm7 cyanogen mod etc...so its pretty cool
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobkat48:
Thanks for 'learning me'. Anyway, before i started playing with my Fascinate today, I had ver 2.2.1 installed - worked fine. After all the changes, I lost the Google search box on the home page - is there anyway I can get that back? I have the icon - just like the search box better. Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
Well what all changes did you do other than installing a recovery? Did you flash any files?

And you have 2.3.5 now right, so how did you get it. Did you do a Verizon over-the-air update or did you flash that file as well. I am just confused as to what you did because technically if all you did was install a recovery, it wouldn't mess with you Google search
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
kardin - recoveries and kernels are 2 completely different things. You keep saying CWM recovery kernel, but that doesn't make any sense. I'm not saying you don't understand what a kernel or recovery is, but they're not the same thing and I think you might confuse people when you say recovery kernel.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
when loading the cwm recovery from Odin I swear in the progress bar it says loading kernel....
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
That doesnt matter...kernels and recoveries are 2 different things...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin.zimmerman:
Well then better criticize Odin on that one as well.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I'd have to double check but I don't think I've ever see odin say anything about the kernel while flashing a recovery.

Anyway, bobkat - did you ever get everything figured out? You said you were on 2.2.1 but then in a previous post you said you were "still" on 2.3.5 so I was a little confused.

[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:

[Motorola Photon 4G] xketch:
This actually just started happening to me an hour ago. I plug in my phone every morning to charge it like normally...nothing, no charge, just a white led. I battery pull, still nothing. I unplug the charger, switch to a different wall socket, secure all the connections, it started charging. So I'm guessing a white led while the phone is off means bad connection, or bad battery.

Try a different charger or outlet before you go out and buy a new battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] motorolatriumph:
Same thing happened to me the phone required a battery remove and reinstall to get it to charge..it only worked once then i took it back to bb and they exchanged my phone since it was defective ..
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Try wiping battery status.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slag02:
Try powering with the Wall Charger instead of the USB in a computer
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
This must be contagious plugged wall charger into phone woke up to white led and dead battery. Car charger and computer usb works. Tried car charge with ac to cigarette plug didn't work. Now the same car charger doesn't work in car. Tried a powered usb hub didn't work. Who knows!?!?

Update:

Got a stand alone battery charger never had this kind of battery life. Phone charging circuit must have been half bad from day one.
