ok that worked to get the sd card accessible. searching for a rom/kernel to download atm.
ok this may be another dumb question(just got the fascinate yesterday) what roms will i want to use with baseband version S:i500.04 V.EA28 build number SCH-I500.EA28 firmware version 2.1-update1?
any idea how to regain root on the other fascinate? the one click i used on mine is not working on hers for some reason, same build and all.
didn't see the adb way. link? i'm looking around the site.
i'll give it a go once her screen decides to act right. from what i understand i need to re-root in order to remove the superuser.apk from the app drawer... need to return the phone for a replacement.
Ok, so I'm pretty new to Android and I apologize if this question has been answered or if it's obvious in the forum and I'm just not getting it.
I want to update my ROM/Kernel and / or go to 2.2 but I'm a little sketchy when it comes to Odin and fully understanding what I need to do. I've read through this thread and the "[How to] Flash Full package DL09 and Stock DI01 via Odin", but for some reason some things just haven't 'clicked' with me.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly the first thing I need to do is to put "Update.zip" onto the root of my SD Card? My first question is what exactly is on "update.zip".
Secondly, I would flash CWM onto my Fascinate via Odin? And once that is done then I can perform a full backup of my phone as it currently stands by using CWM? Would I need to D/L "Rom Manager" too at some point?
If I have these steps correct, the next question would be has all of my data (contacts, calander, apps, etc) been wiped? If so, how would I go about restoring? I'm assuming I would use the backups I've made thus far with Titanium Backup? And prior to going Odin-crazy and flashing new ROMs/Kernels, should I move all my apps to my SD card, or just reinstall them from the market/appBrain or TB?
I think that is about it for questions (for now). Again, i apologize for the crayon-and-construction paper explanations I'm looking for. These forums are very well written and the topics are covered in great detail, but for some reason I'm feeling a little lost on this one.
As always, I appreciate the help, patience, and knowledge you all provide!
ok i am going to give you a link to put froyo root and clockwork all on your phone with one odin flash,, but to answer some questions first
update.zip is the file that opens up clockwork recovery, without it you are stuck in stock recovery.......
yes you flash clockwork with odin and you can use a backup of your roms current state,,but if you are moving up to froyo, you wont be able to use it anyway since it wont be compatible with froyo kernel.
titanium backup actually already moved all your apps to your sdcard in compressed form in the titanium backup folder...so if you did the back up you wont need to move any apps
contacts /calander should be backed up using your google account or backup assistant
you can choose to use rom manager but i dont its kind of useless
ok so here use this thread to get froyo, root, and clockwork all in one flash
make sure you backup your contacts and you already have titanium back up

Awesome! Thank you for the detailed response and Froyo link! I very much appreciate everything!
Just one last question. I have 2.1 DI01 right now, can I go straight into EB01 or do i need to move up from DI01 to DL09 (not sure if i read this somewhere or am confused with something else).
Thanks!![]()
Hello Everyone.
I am not a stranger to rooting and flashing my Vibrant but when it comes to the fascinate, im not so confident about what .tar files or update.zip files to use.
My friend asked me to root his fascinate and flash a rom on it since to him im the "go-to-guy". Im at work and dont have the fascinate with me to confirm but a previous poster posted his baseband and such and im pretty sure its the following (baseband version S:i500.04 V.EA28 build number SCH-I500.EA28 firmware version 2.1-update1)
I already rooted the device per a thread over on XDA.
The Goal is to flash Super Clean v2.9.2 (I believe thats the latest version). But of course I need Clockwork first. Based on the devices "About Phone" info above, What update.zip file and .tar file do i need to afterwards flash Super Clean? DL09 of post#2, section2?
Any and all help is greatly appretiated and I thank you in advance.
since you are rooted just do a titanium backup. then use my odin package for 2.9 then turn the phone on all the way. shut down again and flash my 2.9.2 package....all the downloads and directions you will need are here
