[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JollyChollie:
ClockWorkMod 3.x.x Doesn't Play Well with the Samsung Fascinate

USB Port Got Confused

I am having much the same problem. I still haven't gotten a working solution. But, I thought I'd put together in one place all the Information that I've found so far regarding this problem from other users on the XDA Forums. The USB Port on my Fascinate seems to have gotten confused. When I connect to Computer, the Computer Doesn't Recognize the Fascinate. And when I connect via USB to an AC Outlet and Hold Volume Down key, only then can I access the Yellow DownLoading Screen that Odin needs. However, the Computer still won't Recognize the Fascinate, so I Can't get Odin to find the Fascinate to do a return to a Stock ROM.

My Facinate seems to need ClockWorkMod Version 2.5.1.2, but I can't access the USB Port to Change this, so the StartUp Screen Shows "SAMSUNG", unless I use the "Recovery_UpDate.zip" made with ClockWorkMod, but then Hangs at the ClockWorkMod Logo, (the Hat and Orange Circle). Reasons for this hang are given below. Any Help you send me also would also be appreciated.

The USB Port seemed to have gotten Confused when the Computer wanted to Install Verizon Wireless Software Utility Application for Android - Samsung to make my Computer Communicate better with the Fascinate and I Declined this option. I have more than one Computer and on the other Computer I Accepted, and although I don't use the VZ Media Manager, it didn't interfere with the Cell Phone Communicating with the Computer, and must be a Help.

All of the Following is Copied, so when it reads, "in my testing" or "I highly recommend", please understand that these are not my Words or Expertise, but are copied from the Link Below the Paragraph. Also, I found that if the Screen Freezes on ReBoot that if the Menu Button is Pushed, {Bottom Left Corner ~ Pop-Up Menu Icon ~ Looks like Paper Coming out of a Printer), it will Toggle to another Menu to see the UnderLying Reasons for Incompletion, (ie... Signature Not Recognized, etc.).

ClockworkMod Version 3.0.2.5

Please note: Some People have had the Samsung Recovery appear after this Flash, and in my testing, in some circumstances, the Stock Kernel can actually Flash back the Stock Recovery. Due to this, I highly recommend that anyone flashing the new CWM with this Flash, please also Flash my Clean Kernel, located here: Clean Kernel EC05 1.03d thread Also note, that the One Click Version of this should not have this problem, since it takes away the ability of the Stock Kernel to Flash the Samsung Recovery.

ROM Manager

{New Users ~ ROM Manager is the Name of an Application that can be DownLoaded from the Android Market that can Flash ClockWorkMod}.

Samsung Users: You must Flash a ClockWork Compatible Kernel First (see XDA forums)

Note, using Reboot Recovery or ADB Reboot Recovery will take you to a "Stock" Recovery. Simply Apply the UpDate.zip on your SD card and ClockWorkMod will start up. (This method is better known as FakeFlash)

ClockWorkMod Version 2.5.1.2 ~

At the moment the Latest Versions of ClockWorkMod Recovery are Orange with Build Numbers 3.x.x. Unfortunatley this CAN NOT be used because in order to install any Flashable .zip file a script of code is required to direct the installation. At the moment almost everything written for Fascinate has been written in a language called Amend. The most recent version 3.x.x ONLY Accepts a Language called Edify, in Previous Versions of Clockwork (anything under 3.x.x) were Compatible with both Amend and Edify.
