I have issues with some apps now that I'm rooted. Can I use the un-rooted instructions on page 1 without it affecting 2.2?
In other words, I've followed all the instructions on page 1 to get to 2.2 and now wonder if I can simply un-root and everything else will stay the same or do I need a PC and Odin because it's necessary to go back to 2.1 once un-rooted?
Using

and I don't have root access, but I DO have the su icon.
This is what I get when I try to plug my Fascinate into my mac and run the root program..

So, I re-downloaded set cpu and tried to see if it would work and it said that it can't get root access..
I'm going to try rebooting and see if I get it then.

Root Access Not Detected
-----------------------------
Set CPU could not obtain root access. Did you allow Set CPU through Superuser Permissions? If you checked Superuser Permissions and SetCPU still cannot get root, there may be an issue with your ROM. Operating in read-only mode.
The main question is.. How do I get my mac to recognize my phone???
I have the stock OTA EA28 update. It keeps saying Error device not found, so I'm guessing it can't see my phone. I know there's a quick fix to this, but what is it? I just can't seem to find this quick fix...
Ok i have tried this but keep getting error: device not found when i try to put in the kernal what do i do now
I think I might be having the same problem. Did you flash clockworkmod recovery from ROM manager after 1-click-root? I didn't, that is where I think I went wrong. I don't have access to my Mac right now.
The 1-click-unroot may or may not work on 2.2. My question is why do you want to unroot?
I've having issues with Mixzing and PowerAmp. In the PowerAmp forum the developer said the issue is a problem with rooted phones. That's the ONLY reason I want to un-root but I don't want to loose 2.2 so that's why I was wondering if I could have my cake and eat it too![]()
Thanks, I apreciate it.
Also, seems like I read somewhere that there is a Gingerbread rom for the Galaxy S- is it possible to use all your instructions and flash with this rom?
My 3 attempt to re-root my phone...
[*] adb connection will be reset. restart adb server on desktop and re-login.

I thought the Fascinate was a Verizon branded Galaxy S?
Hi everyone-
First post here. I've been looking over a number of threads on this forum about the rooting/upgrading process for the Fascinate, but I want to be perfectly clear on things before taking the plunge myself.
I'm on a Mac running 10.6, but I do have boot camp (just hardly use it) if I need to be on Windows for part of this. My Fascinate has the latest Verizon OTA update, I don't know what number that is. My questions:
1) can any of the builds for 2.2 (maybe the ones with the Verizon software stripped out) mount to a Mac normally, like how the phone used to work before this feature was removed? This is the single most frustrating thing about the Fascinate for me, it's the one issue that's driving me to consider rooting/hacking.
2) Does the rooting/upgrade process described here: [Guide] Tools and Information for Mac OSX Users work for getting the phone to the latest build of 2.2 without installing Odin? Also, does the software in that thread include any way to back things up first, or is that something that should be downloaded separately, after root but before upgrading? How do I back up my phone so I can restore it?
3) Is the battery life under 2.2 significantly worse than it is now?
Thanks to everyone for all the info here!
Hey I'm sorry if this has been answered I've been trying to read around but there's just so much new information to go through it's kinda hard. But when I flashed a kernel I lost CWM is there anyway to get it back on the mac and not having to odin the updated SC2.9.2 on? I really would like to feed my flashing addiction again asap haha.
Have you tried applying update.zip in the stock recovery?
