1. run the unlaxfixme bat file which should be together with the lagfix file you ran.

2. download mode - turn phone off, pull out battery, plug into usb while also holding down on the volume rocker.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
****e.

I have noticed a significant delay in getting onto the market since i went through the CWM recovery process. I just noticed now that I can only see free, and just in apps, not paid. WTF?
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
I always use appbrain to access the market, haven't noticed any issues, but haven't needed to check for much.. Give that a shot?
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
You don't see this?
[Fascinate Android Development] StanRox:
Something Stupid

I think I must've done something stupid... I thought I followed these instructions but I get a message that the SD card must be mounted when I open rom manager?

Any ideas? It doesn't find update.zip if I boot it into recovery mode it's just the stock version... I'll be honest I don't really have a clue what i'm doing with this thing :o)

the flash in odin seemed to work fine using the links from the first post.

thanks in advance
[Fascinate Android Development] pduboise:
Great write-up Angel. CWM installed, nandroid, restore all working flawlessly. A big thanks to all the devs for getting this together so quickly! Now I can start changing things up and not freak if I remove something I shouldn't have. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] StanRox:
me?

no, I actually can use the market... just not my sd card anymore and no CWM
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Seriously, lol. What the hell?
[Fascinate Android Development] mlmiller240:
Lag fix

Can you remove lag fix after you install CWM?
[Fascinate Android Development] nemesis2all:
Yes.

lkjlkjlkjlkj
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
do you have an sdcard in your phone?
[Fascinate Android Development] StanRox:
sd card is installed

yup, i can actually browse onto it in 'my files' (i think) it says i'm in /sdcard/

I tried reflashing per the first post... same result.. phone generally works just no cwm and rom manager says to check my sd card.

weird right?
[Fascinate Android Development] johnt2k:
Ok i did this step by step and Odin seemed to work but now WIFI isnt working

i dont have service @ my house and so when i try to connect to WIFI to download Rom Manager i cant connect. i get a error that says Unable to Scan For Networks :mad:

Wifi was working less then 20 minutes ago before i started fooling with this. here is a screen grab from Odin everything seemed to work, it only took a minute or so it flew through it ???
[Fascinate Android Development] johnt2k:
EDIT i have RomManager but phone still wont connect to WiFi and i dont have 3g Service @ home so when i click Flash clockwork i get

ERROR while downloading from server .Make sure you have a stable Internet connection , and that your SD card is inserted and has free space !
[Fascinate Android Development] ballaholyk84:
It may work. Unlikely to fix your problem. Support Koush for his hard work and not Pirate.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnt2k:
i have supported him in the past With My G1. But im in a Jam so i had to Dig into NZB for help im sry. but im still stuck hopefully tomorrow while im @ work and have 3G i can run RomManager and hopefully get this resolved :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] StanRox:
same error

that's the message i get john, my wifi works though... i can get apps at the store it's just when i try to get cwm through rom manager i get that message.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnt2k:
well i get the Rom Manager Error Because i have no 3G service and Wifi Wont connect like i said above it turns on error then turn back off ???

im assuming its the Kernel can i use ODIN to Flash Back to the stock Kernel ? any one have it :confused:

should i try using Odin to flash the CWMrecovery Tar again possibly ? or would that be a bad thing ?
[Fascinate Android Development] illtema:
thanks a lot developers! you make this phone so much more fun than my blackberry tour. so I hope this means a froyo rom is coming soon :D
[Fascinate Android Development] illtema:
quick question.. so if i **** my phone and can only boot into recover, the only way to restore is to go thru applying update.zip and then going into clockwork? wut if I want to apply a new rom thru recovery?
[Fascinate Android Development] johnt2k:
i think thats what clockwork is for im assuming it can flash any ZIP like AmonRA did on the G1. its just that we cant replace the Stock Recovery at this point .

so open recovery apply update.zip which will launch CWR. then CWR can flash and Backup so as long as CWR AKA Update.zip is on your SD you are set. :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] shaels:

[Fascinate Android Development] jimmy3299:
when i click on cw it states im not rooted but i have super user already giving permissions to all other apps i have
[Fascinate Android Development] DrewDanger:
So Ive been out of the game for a while. I havent rooted anything since the Droid 1 came out and then back in the MyTouch days. Whats the simpliest one-click-root for the Fascinate, and are there roms available now for the Fascinate once Clockwork is on there? Sorry for the noob question
[Fascinate Android Development] Mydnightsorrow:
No roms yet. We just got cwm so very soon though.
[Fascinate Android Development] jimmy3299:
says not given su permission

states super user not founda at /system/bin/su or /system/bin/xu help please
[Fascinate Android Development] taypotts:
THIS is what happened to me.. I need someone to upload the UPDATE.zip that gets put onto your SD Card after you flash CWM. PLEASE!! I can't get into recovery without it.
[Fascinate Android Development] justaguy17:
I posted it in your other thread.
[Fascinate Android Development] jimmy3299:
i figured out a sulution

to my original post the problem is it wouldnt show my phone when i had it hooked up for some reason it wouldnt start up the drivers when i plugged in my phone to usb so i re installed drivers and wala it works yeahhhh im not a geek yet but im sure working on it lol i havent used dos in such a long time so remembering the comands and file structure is a *****.
[Fascinate Android Development] DrewDanger:
Ok so I downloaded all the files, followed the steps. I have one green box at the top of Odin that says pass. But in the steps it said it will reboot your phone. Well with the battery out it didnt reboot, just turned it off once its complete. How do I know if it worked?
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I keep getting a fail sig when going thru RM when trying to install the update.zip

Nevermind: I haz clockwork!

Help

Im rooted then I ran the lag fix from android central Ryans one click I then ran the bing removal one click apk. It worked but before I could install clockwork which I'm not sure why I didn't do that before everything I don't know... but anyway I had used root explorer and wanted to try and change some of the bloat wear stuff off my app menu so I changed a few of them from .apk to .bak and everything was fine. My wife had my phone and seen the update pop up and of course since she doesn't understand ANYTHING she ran the update now....

I think I have simibrick It boots into the today screen but then I start getting pop up screens trying to force close saying (process com.google.android.apps.uploader) has stopped working unexpectedly... I also get android.process.media has stopped. I tried a to wipe from basic recovery menu but alas here I am. I have about 2 to three seconds in between the pop ups and I can't get odin to work. When I run odin I see the yellow box and I have downloaded the correct system file and I run it as pda it starts then just sits there forever on the setup connection part.

here is what odin gives me when trying to recover with the system file

[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
And you're in download mode, right...? The box will turn yellow as long as the phone is connected via USB, that doesn't mean the phone is ready to flash.
[Fascinate Android Development] Zalyia38:
This is great! I'm very excited!!

Thanks!!
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Coming from a droid incredible, took a few times for me to realize that it was OK to get into 2e recovery mode and to get to CM recovery just need to hit apply update.zip. Doing my first Nandroid now! YAY!

Reboot into recovery and create backup from CM Premium, however does not work. Would like to see this simplified a bit.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Welcome to the future. :)

This is how CWM will work from now on, whenever possible. You'll always have to apply update.zip to get there.
[Fascinate Android Development] bolzenthal:
Is Voodoo available and working for the Fascinate?

See a lot of Youtube videos and articles with Fascinate listed briefly, but can't seem to get it to work on my fascinate. Is it available? Is so does it work? and Is there such thing as an internal SD card or is that the same as the internal memory?

Thanks:)

This worked great! Thanks so much!

flashing with odin

Hi, I followed the instructions to flas the recovery, I opened odin and chose the file, it shows a little yellow line bellow the kernel square, but it does not move, what do I do?

Just wanted to say thanks. Worked as it should have. :cool:

Could I just install CWM straight from RM?

edit:

facepalm... got it installed via Odin + RM.
[Fascinate Android Development] BeeDubs:
Guys,

I'm a bit confused. I have ROM Manager. Can I open up RM and hit "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" ?

Or will that not flash CWM and I have to use Odin?

Sorry, just need a clarification.
[Fascinate Android Development] WillisD:
you have to use odin to flash the kernal, make sure in odin to select PDA. once done in odin you can use rom manager to flash cmw or you can cold boot and select install update.zip to flash cmw
[Fascinate Android Development] archercap:
Total n00b here...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but can anyone tell me where I would find complete, total n00b guides to backing up my Samsung Fascinate?

I want to eventually be able to install custom ROMs and Themes but before I do that, I want to be able to back everything up. I have rooted my phone. Do the instructions here allow me to do that? If so, may I ask how to remove the battery, lagfix, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

bump for *nix addition

Bump for the addition of a linux / mac howto
[Fascinate Android Development] quarky42:
I will dig through the thread as much as I can, but this really caught my eye. I have the One Click Lag Fix v2.0 APK installed. Before installing it, my contacts and apps lists took a REALLY long time to come up. After installing it the contacts and apps list come up immediately.

So: Why do you say that "the lagfixes on the fascinate do nothing really" ?? It really helps my phone. I can install the lagfix and have snappy contacts / main apps lists or I can uninstall the lagfix and have super slow contacts / main apps. Huge difference.

Update: So you have something better coming. Also backing up with LagFix active takes a really long time compared to without LagFix. Ok. It would be cool to say something like that in the original post.
[Fascinate Android Development] yutzyscott:
I am having a few problems with clockwork. I have installed it and made a nandroid backup already but now for some reason whenever I try to do a backup or install a zip from sd card it freezes every time. Anyone able to give me a solution to this problem? I have already tried flashing back to stock recovery and kernel then reflash clockwork.
[Fascinate Android Development] Elwood_nexus:
Mac instructions work

Just to chime in, I tried the mac flash and it worked great.

There is a reboot that happens between the two restore commands which is not mentioned in the instructions. After the reboot I went back to adb shell and ran the second restore.

I am in clockwork now running a backup. Works very nice. Kudus to whom ever put this together.
[Fascinate Android Development] davewolfs:
Noob question.

If I install this and later want to remove, do I simply flash back to stock using odin and one of the posted roms?
[Fascinate Android Development] BeeDubs:
Guys, if I wanted to do the recovery method, I just boot into recovery and apply the update.zip, nothing else needs to be done?

I don't need the TAR file?

(I'm guessing not, just making sure)
[Fascinate Android Development] BeeDubs:
EDIT: Next question...

To boot into CWM, do I hold down both volume buttons and power? Or is there a different combination of keys I have to press?

I got into CWM by applying update.zip, but I'm wondering if I'll have to apply the file every time I want to get into CWM from now on.
[Fascinate Android Development] riosniper88:
Now it Clockwork mod says that i'm not rooted

I just got the RyanZA lag fix removed, but when I try to start the CWMRecovery.tar in Odin, Odin keeps freezing. Is anyone else having this problem with windows 7? I've tried running it in XP SP2, SP3, 95/98, 2000 in comparability mode and it still keeps freezing... Any solutions? :(:(
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
Does installing clockworkmod via Odin require root access first?
[Fascinate Android Development] ksizzle9:
Atrophine. When u flash clockwork, u get root, therefore flashing clockwork is root
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
Thanks ksizzle9! My friend had Ryan's old LagFix installed, but ran the DI01 update, and now his root is screwed. He didn't even have clockworkmod installed. So basically, my question, is it safe to install clockworkmod at this point? I tried running the one-click root but it failed.
[Fascinate Android Development] xsalientx:
Nandroid?

Hello, so i just rooted my phone and followed all these steps to get clockwork on my phone. however, when i booted into recovery mode... I did not see a "nandroid" option. Did i do something wrong? help please.

I only saw like 4 options starting from "reboot system now" to "wipe cache partition".

EDIT: So i just went to "reboot into recovery mode" using ROM Manager. now i see some more options like "backup and restore" "mounts and storage" and "advanced. wheres nandroid?
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
can you navigate further by choosing more options for backup? I remeber it was something like backup/restore => backup => nandroid...
[Fascinate Android Development] yuhang:
I need some help, everything works fine until I use Odin. There it says Fail what do I do? help please

*EDIT*

I made it work by changing the usb plug ... never mind thank you though
[Fascinate Android Development] roberj13:
Problem.

Has anyone run across this problem. I installed the file through odin just fine. Then I flashed clockwork recovery. I can boot into Clockwork through ROM Manager just fine, but when I try to do it from a cold boot (which would be my only option in the case of a fubar) It boots into the stock recovery which I read is normal. When I select apply update zip it doesn't boot into Clockwork

When it first boots to the stock recovery it says.

Can't mount dev/block mmcblk0p1

Invalid argument

****MANUAL MODE****

What did I mess up here to have a half working recovery. If I needed to just start over and try again would I use Odin to flash recovery??
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
Have you used adrynalyne's Voodoo uninstaller by chance? That code looks familiar in his uninstall thread
[Fascinate Android Development] AtropineNa:
Hmmm I realize that I get the same thing to while I boot into clockwork recovery... how do we fix this?

Can't mount dev/block mmcblk0p1

Invalid argument

****MANUAL MODE****
[Fascinate Android Development] gregschuler:
still nothing...flashes successfully but when I try to reboot to recovery i get nothing. can't find a clockworkmod option in stock recovery either...just successfully got back to stock via ODIN and factory reset.

Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
if you read the how to, you would know that after you flashed clockwork in rom manager, you either reboot recovery from rom manager, or power off phone, hold vol up and down and power then select install update.zip from recovery, that is what boots into CWM.
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
This is because you have voodoo installed. recovery cannot touch voodoo stuff yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] xsalientx:
I'm still having trouble backing up my phone... I go to the recovery screen and click "backup and restore"... then my screen goes black and nothing happens until i press the home button and brings me back to the recovery screen. help please?
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
is it okay to delete the update.zip from the sdcard once you are finished?
[Fascinate Android Development] GoBruins:
You should leave it there in case you want to go to clockworkmod again. There are two ways to get into CWM:

1.) Rom manager => boot into CWM

2.) Running update.zip from recovery

Keep it. Along the lines of JT, "that's where CWM lives."

problem with odin

Ok, this is getting frustrating, I pull the battery, hold volume down and plug in the phone to my computer, open up odin and it doesnt see my phone. I do notice that when I plug in the phone to my computer windows tells me that it doesnt recognize the device. Now, I already rooted, this is the second phone I have rooted now, but neither could be seen by odin. Is there a problem with windows xp maybe? this computer is kinda old, I think its like a 2GHz P4 running xp with all the updates. Thanks for any help.
[Fascinate Android Development] Garrett07:
can't get it to work on the phone, i have full root, I've already installed and used titanium backup, can't get sdk tools to work with mac, and don't know where to turn :/

[Fascinate Android Development] jjcool:
Same problem here.Odin does not see my phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Unplug your phone from *everything*.

Remove the backing.

Remove the Battery

Remove the SD Card.

Open Odin on your PC.

Plug the "big" end of the USB computer into the PC that is now running Odin.

Press the volume-down on your phone and *hold* it.

Keep holding it.

While holding it, plug the "mini" end of the USB cable into your phone.

Still holding the volume down button? If not, go back to step one. If you are, you should now see a yellow caution sign and a big warning about not turning off/disconnecting the target on your phone's screen.

At this point you can start the Odin restore.

If you *cannot* get to this point by following these steps in *exactly* the order posted, you likely have a Fascinate that is either completely borked, or have a brand new model I have heard whispered rumors about that cannot be accessed in this manner. Lucky you!

If you are of the latter, and such a model is in fact being shipped, have patience. The devs here are mind-bogglingly adept at taking care of such things in short order.
[Fascinate Android Development] JAM3S121:
I'm getting into download mode but inside odin there is no yellow bar mentioned so it i guess it doesn't detect the phone?

i have a one click root that was done successfully..
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
The yellow bar would be in the com1 area, if I am not mistaken. Did you start Odin before connecting the phone and entering download mode?

[Fascinate Android Development] ragarm:
Was wanting to do a backup before installing anything, but as i tried, and failed, with rom manager I got an error.

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature".

Is using the Odin the ONLY way to make a backup before doing anything else to the phone.

[Fascinate Android Development] JBry:
Desperately need help- won't boot!

Please help! I followed the OP's instructions exactly, but the phone won't boot after Odin successfully flashes kernel and recovery. It just gets to the initial Samsung splash screen and hangs. I was able to apply CWM recovery image from SD card, and I can get to and use CWM recovery menu, but selecting reboot results in hanging at the same spot. The caveat: it's a Mesmerize, the US Cellular version of the Fascinate- identical hardware. Please tell me I didn't brick my brand new baby! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Stop what you are doing! Put the phone down! Do not touch it again until you get a response from jt, namenrandon, dirrk, daswolven, or another dev/expert.

There is a chance you might be able to bring this one back from the dead....but only if you don't get all crazy with flashing.

Are you getting any carrier ID? VZW or USC at all when you boot it?
[Fascinate Android Development] JBry:
No, no carrier ID- just stops at the initial Samsung splash. I am however, able to connect to it with ADB when it's in this state...not sure what that means though
