[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidneedzsence:
O.K. So my baby (HTC Dinc) was lost in a bunch of snow. I was running android 2.2 with scence UI 2.0 and never had any trouble finding new and exciting roms that were just a lot of fun to play with. So after doing little homwork and having the Verizon guy talk up this Samsung I made my next $200 plunge into my new favorite hobby. However I was not aware that this phones hacking community was so... confusing. So heres where im sitting I ran FascinateRoot_v02 which is a 1 click root and boom i get Superuser. Completely psyched to get a rom on that isn't plagued by Verizon advertisements and Bing Bull$#!t, alas i am stuck. rom manager went in and installed ClockworkMod 3.0.0.8 as its recovery. I download the SuperDark1.1-D101 and go to install it through ROM manager and nothing happens. then i realized that i must not have the right recovery. I am lost and hating the frustrations that are fallowing the events that led to me getting this phone. I know the hardware is good and all but Big Red and Bing (WTF is this doing on a google OS Phone:rolleyes:) have turned the wonderful SuperAMOLED screen into an eyesore.

Here's what I need.

1.) someone to post what the OTA update did to my phone. (USB not recognized by PC)

2.) Someone to explain in very small words how to ROM this phone with the latest info.

3.) Someone to explain What VOODOO and NoN-VOODOO Kernels are and the benefits of both

4.)How to install the kernels

5.) Anything that i can do to help with 2.2 because running with limited/no flash makes me feel like im playing with an iphone original with a shiny new screen.

I'm very sorry for making a new thread that i am sure has questions that have been asked before on it, but for two days i have been lost on this. Please help a guy out!!!:confused:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dread This Day:
Your mistake was a simple one, you simply used the wrong Clockwork Recovery, the ORANGE. Most of our ROMS are not compatible with that. You need the RED Clockwork Recovery 2.x.x, if you do some searching it is all over here. Your OTA update I have no clue about because you didn't even mention it in the original post except to ask what it did. If USB isn't recognizing, reinstall the Samsung drivers, and try toggling USB debugging. You are now NON-Voodoo, your file system is stock RFS, which is slow. What Voodoo does is change your filing system to EXT4, which is must faster. This does not mean your phone will be blazing through everything. It simply means that your phone will be much faster at writing data, I have not seen one person disappointed per se in it yet, I personally use it. Overall, it will increase the performance of your phone. Kernels, you flash using the RED Clockwork Recovery, which you will find downloads of and instructions for all over this forum, it is very easy. Once you get the correct Clockwork Recovery this will be easy man, so go get that, and flash a ROM like you normally would. Have any more questions, you can reply, or IM me. EDIT: Also, get a program called Odin, which is all over this forum as well. As you read more and more, and do more things, you will see why it is very useful.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidneedzsence:
Thanks! 1 problem... I cant set it back using rom manager. How else can you fix/downgrade to 2.x.x. Also the OTA update has my phone hidden on my pc through USB conectivity and I have never used Odin. I really do appreciate the help! I hate trying to learn new setups in 2 days

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dread This Day:
Okay, here is Odin, attached at the bottom of my post. I am also including Clockwork Recovery, the one you need, as well as the update.zip. First you need to place Update.zip on your SDCARD. Since your pc won't recognize your phone, you can use the Dropbox program to do this. Update.zip HAS to be on the root of your SDCARD. Now, Odin is the program you want to use to Flash the cwm.tar, okay? And ONLY that .tar. Open Odin and mess with NONE of the settings, NONE. Click the PDA Button, choose cwm.tar and then click on START. Note: In the upper left hand corner, if Odin detects your phone, it will be yellow. And make sure USB debugging is enabled. So, flash cwm.tar to your phone, boot into recovery by holding BOTH of the volume keys while powering up, then in Clockwork Recovery select "Install Update.zip", it will install and you will have the RED Clockwork Recovery. THEN you go flash your ROMS and such, as for your USB problems, could be very simple, just do some Googling. Oh, and in terms of ROMS? I HIGHLY recommend Adrynalyne's SuperClean.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkirby11:
One thing to note since you have been having problems, and because I didn't see it mentioned above.

For odin to work (for odin to see your phone) you need to have it (your phone) in download mode.

This is made possible by pulling the battery, plugging in the phone to your PC via the STOCK usb cable (I have read non OEM cables can cause problems), and holding down the "down" button on the volume rocker while holding the power button. You should boot into download mode. Yellow Triangle as some call it...because of the giant yellow triangle on-screen....

I had a hell of a time figuring this out through the guides but once you figure it out you will have no problems.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dread This Day:
I KNEW I forgot something, thank you for adding that. I have so much going on but did not want to leave the guy hanging I rushed through the explanation.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerg The Bear:
There were some issues with the "stock" versions of CWM, and our devs have touched it up to work with our phones better. The latest "Orange" version you installed from Rom Manager uses a new method for installing updates/ROMs (Edify script). Almost all of the things available on these forums are still set up for the old method of installing updates/ROMs (Amend script). As a general rule of thumb, we don't update CWM through Rom Manager, and just use versions posted here. There were some compatibility improvements, but they also added Voodoo support and options.

Also, because of not using Rom Manager to update CWM, the "Install from SD Card" option in Rom Manager doesn't work. There's some kind of "*update.zip" in the clockwork folder on your SD card. If you copy the update.zip from the root of your SD card into the correct folder and rename it, the "Install from SD Card" might work. Sorry, I don't use Rom Manager anymore, so I don't have the exact names or folders.

The way a lot of people handle ROM installs is to reboot into recovery (hold volume up and volume down and power while starting up, and release only the power button when "Samsung" appears). Once you install the cwm.tar that Dread This Day posted, this method will take you straight into Clockwork Recovery. You can download ROMs from Rom Manager or directly from these forums.

Just a word of caution on Voodoo. There are some serious problems you can get yourself into if you don't know what you're doing with it. I strongly suggest you thoroughly research exactly what it does, the impacts of installing/using it, and how to properly remove it before you decide to use it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidneedzsence:
Thanks for the info and the walkthrough. Gotta love expediant info. Ill be playing with it after I get off work. I have been using the micro usb from my Dinc so ill swap it out and see if it works.

all i get from that is samsung recovery utils. lookin over the net and tried the whole emulator trick. this phone is aggravating I know its probably just me. So im going to run some tests to find out if i can get into the download mode via an cmd prompt or some such program.

In other news I FOUND MY Dinc! after a weekend of being in the snow a co-worker spoted a lighter and went to get it, at which point he found the phone under it. great news is that my case and screen protector saved it. no water damage, not even a red seal!

Edit:

The program is called terminal emulator not cmd prompt. sorry for the platform crossover.

In emulator

type in #su

agree to superuser

type in #reboot download

and done. i knew that computer class would pay off. lol next step is getting phone recognized by odin. more fun awaits...

abondon ship. htc thunderbolt is out in the next 3 weeks and im gonna be all over it. as my name infers deoid needs sense and samsung... well it has none and oit of the 5 phones ive rooted and romed this is by far the most anoying. ota updates that make a phone unrecognizable via pc and the need to run multiple programs just to get a phone to except root. no froyo in sight and... bing... they ruined a great phone by pretty much leaving it up to our devs to make it worth something. i shall miss my superamoled but not enough to birn an upgrade. thanks for the help, you guys are great, hope to see ya in the htc scene soon.

In my opinion ROM Manager blows goats your better off downloading from xda and flashing in the orange clockwork
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarfman4:
Most of the ROMs for the Fascinate won't work with orange clockworks. You will need the red version.

[XPERIA X10 General] Diesel984:
I ended up with a LOVELY refurbished POS as a replacement for my origional X10a through AT&T (trust me, I'm THRILLED about a refurbished piece of crap, haven't had good luck with these things) And I've got it flashed over to 2.1 update 1 with the baseband of 2.1.54, Kernel Version 2.6.29, and xRecovery will not install. IT loads just fine, gets SU access, and then the three little hourglasses come up with the No Smoking sign LOL! So, what's the issue?? Is xRecovery not compatable with the baseband?

Any ideas...?
[XPERIA X10 General] JDwan:
What version of Busybox are you running? What method did you use to root your phone?

I know that some root methods (like SuperOneClick) install Busybox during the root process and the version they install is not compatible with xRecovery. You have to use the version from the Market for xRecovery to install.

By the way, this has been discussed many times already before in the xRecovery thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] Diesel984:
Its The Most current Busybox installed through Titanium Backup - and I'm sure it has been discussed...Lack of finding the specific issue lead to this post ;)

Its Rooted with the super one click, But I believe that the busybox from Titanium is the most current...
[XPERIA X10 General] darkgoth678:
Try installing busybox from the busybox app from the market.

[XPERIA X10 General] subhankar.ds:
Try to install xrecovery manually.....copy past by Rootexplorer....

see the offical thread how to install manually...
[XPERIA X10 General] JDwan:
It says in the first post of the thread it HAS to be the version from the Market. It says nothing about it needing to be the most recent version.

A similar issue was brought up on one of the last pages in that thread (it even had a picture of the 'no smoking' signs, as you put it, on the three files) and it came down to the version of Busybox the person had installed.

Though as subhankar suggested, you could try the manual installation route and see how that works for you too.

Anyway, I hope you get this resolved.
[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
View the xrecovery apk in root explorer then copy the 3 files in Res/raw to the system/bin on your phone. The auto install from the app has never worked for me.

So I was about to watch a movie and thought about connecting my phone to the console to see if it would recognize it like my usb stick (besides, I needed to charge it). Well, apparently each time I hook it up, the orange LED lights up, but the phone just freezes! I thought it was my phone, but it still connects to my computer on Windows xp or Ubuntu. Anyone else having this strange issue?

Mine does the same thing..the second time I tryed it caused my phone to reboot over and over again from the HTC screen until I unplugged it
[HTC Inspire 4G] est1984:
same problem

I had the same problem. I even exchanged the phone thinking it was isolated but of course it is not. The only thing I find strange is when I bought the first phone I hooked it up via usb to my ps3 and it worked fine about two or three times and I copied some movies and music to the SD (which I have since deleted while attempting to make it work) I did soft and hard resets nothing will work I get an Orange light on the phone, a freeze, a power down and a continuous reboot WTF. Even more weird people in my family have both the evo and evo shift and both of them work fine every time on multiple ps3's I have also tried on multiple ps3 to no avail. I'm seriously pissed at HTC if the usb is not compatible then why did work the first few times I tried it and why will it work fine for evo and evo shift both through sprint?????

Riddle me that HTC??? **** heads
[HTC Inspire 4G] malevolentbratchny:
Try turning on media servers/media sharing (can't remember exactly what the option is, not at home) on the ps3. DLNA is a protocol used by media sharing programs.

I'm afraid I have the same problem, but coming from a DHD user. It started happening after I flashed mike's 3.2 rom, but can't report it because of the post limit

I have the same problem, but mine won't boot at all now. I connected it to my directv dvr after my ps3 to just charge it and not it's just stuck on the htc screen.

yeah im not gna try that lol. i tried using dlna a couple days ago but it just didnt show up. maybe i was doing it wrong, i went into teh connected media app and tried to play a video on the ps3. even when the phone is on the network, i dont see it on the ps3

symptom : u install launcher pro, try to save setting, the launcher pro ask you to restart launcher pro , but after restart, all setting goes back to default.

solution -->> install titanium backup (remember, u have to rooted ur device 1st)

tap on backup/restore tab

find launcher pro

wipe data!

OR

also , u can wipe/factory reset your device

OR

and also, install another ROM with wipe option.

So I've been reading about flashing the radio for custom rom's in order to get better battery life. So I started thinking about flashing the radio using the stock 2.2 just to see what happens. If nothing else, I could flash back to stock 07.28. So on Friday I decided to flash the radio to 11.19. on 2.2 Froyo. Today I noticed that over 8 hours of "regular" use (email, Facebook, Twitter, phone calls, taking about 20 pictures), I'm at 79% battery. Before I would be around 40-50% battery.

Just wanted to share.

To be precise, the bootloader decodes that and supports dates from the letter F (2006) to P (2016), Revision 1-9, A-W (case unsesitive) meaning 1-32. There's still one more letter that is parsed case unsesitive A-Z with meaning 1-26 and space, tabulation or null meaning 100, but I haven't looked close enough to know what that is.
