Ics 4.0.1 alpha (aosp)

[Dirrk]

This was done by jt1134 over on rootzwiki
I have worked with jt and he does great work and this build is no different. I installed this on my brothers and my girlfriends fascinate and they have no problems with day to day use. I just wanted to provide an easy method for those of you who aren't completely tech savy and want something to do until you get your Nexus

Original Post

Step 1.
Install Samsung Drivers
Windows 64

Windows x86

Download

Odin
PIT
jts ics
Stock EH03
CWR

Step 2.
Turn your phone to download mode

Take out the battery then put the battery back in
Hold Volume Down and then Plug in the USB into the phone

Open Odin:
Click PIT: and browse to the PIT file you downloaded earlier
Click PDA: and browse to the Stock EH03 file you downloaded earlier
Click Re partition on the left side of the screen

Click Start!

After its done it will restart and you will now have a completely stock phone.

Let it boot up and then put it into usb mode and drag the jts ics onto the sdcard

Step 3.
Put it back into download mode
Open Odin:
Unclick Re partition if it stayed for some reason.
Unclick Auto Reboot
Click PDA: and browse to the CWR file

Click Start!

This is installing clockwork mod recovery by koush

Step 4:
Unplug the phone and hold both volume buttons and the power button to boot into recovery.
Once in recovery select Install zip from sd card
Browse to this file: teamhacksung_fascinatemtd-ota-eng.jt1134-1128.zip
hit the power button to select the file and then scroll down to accept

This should install on the first time but I noticed if your sd card is kinda ty like my brothers it will not work the first time. I had to insert a new sd card with the file on it

After it boots up you will have to login to google like normal and thats about it
Good luck have fun and remember to donate to devs like jt who help make this old phone great.

ps I wrote this from memory it may or may not be 100% accurate please hit me up on G+ or on here if you run into a problem or if you see a mistake.

ya i have the latest build, i still cant use my 32gb cause it constantly unmounts and now i cant use my stock 16gb card, back to the dinky 8gb.

Note: this build does not eat SD cards it just wont recognize them. they work just fine in any phone or computer

Been using it for 1 week. So far everything I have tried works. Only annoying thing is a new Google App permissions thing.. very much like Vista / 7 UAC. I don't completely mind it, its just hard to access sometimes after you install an app and it wants to sign into your google account. Note i've only had this happen when trying to install Google apps [maps, g+, etc...]. Another issue I have had with this is initial LOUD volume on phone calls [i've had this with all MTD roms so far]. Also after about 70hrs of use, the phone just completely shut off on me in the middle of the night... so missed my morning alarm. Had to 3 finger solute to get it booted up again. But for such a quick release/build from source, I am really impressed with this rom. Love ICS and can't wait for a few more polishing updates.

Just thought I would add in I have been running the v3 release. Started on stock EH03, then super clean for about a day, then flashed ICS v3.

Doing it now.

So what do you think? I've been on it a week, reverted to Froyo ED05 stock & straight to ICS v3 11/28. Did you go from EH09 and if so any luck with MMS? No go for mine with stock Messaging or GO SMS Pro. Seems taboo to mention on Rootzki

From JT's OP there "What works:
Radio (Calls / 3G / SMS/MMS)
WiFi"

Maybe that was v1? I'd start over with EH09 to v3 if you say it might work.

I've had a few SOD's too but volume^ + power gets reboot, no battery pull required. Other than that and no MMS it's very good here on my year old Fassy. No SD card probs either. And no more toggling WiFi / AP mode after reboots.

Installed this morning, so far so good. I've noticed that the swype keyboard is gone though. Is there a way to get it back?

ive been on it 2 weeks and it is awesome. Only downside is MMS doesnt send out and my computer doesnt recognize my phone(only on win XP, on win7 works fine) I have winXP so bothers me.

I burned the stock EH03 first and then ICS as suggested. However, I can't install anything in Market. The app is functional in terms of browsing around and searching, so it does have internet connectivity. But when I try to install any app, I get "App xxxx for Andorid could not be downloaded due to an error". I uninstalled the version that came with ICS and installed ver3.1.3, but that has the same exact problem. Any clues on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

[un1ocked]

what is the md5 sum for the stock EH03?

 

[awskier08]

Did you flash over another rom than the one listed?

I did that at first and my market didn't work. I believe ICS works better with a fresh flash.

Try jts ninja post page on page 88 of his thread. Fixes quite a few things. Mass srorage, etc. Patch gives u toggles in status bar.

I have had no real probs with ics other than once and a while i will open an app it will fc then i reopen and all is fine. I run this as my dd. Effn sick

If you flash the that rom the su binary is there u just need to dl su app from market... justa heads up

This update is awesome but breaks voice recognition with the keyboards. So if you use that feature a lot you may want to stay away.

I am running the 1209-merge Rom and it also broke the wifi tether. When I was on V3 I could use Barnicle without any problems, but it seems to be broken now. I also tried to install the CMsettings.apk, but can't figure out how to change the permissons. Does anyone know how to do this?
