it failed with this file iI used on 2.1
Don't know why. it works great just can't get it rooted. adb method what is that?
Hey Droidxcon Just wanted to thank you I flashed to 2.5 on my two fascinates and it works great. I am glad they are still people like yourself out there to make things better for all of us. Again thank you for your time and Knowledge
I just traded a droid 2 for a fascinate because i missed the vibrant screen my omnia 2 had. I got it and was disappointed at all the crap that was on it, but in less than 24 hours i am running the 2.5 rom and am loving this phone more than any phone i have ever touched. thank you so much for making this soo simple and easy for me. this is the way we should be getting the phones from verizon, then they wouldnt be able to even sell iphones lol. once again thank you.
Question/Problem
I get into red just fine..... Do I need to extract the zip file before loading onto my sd card? Am I missing a step somewhere? Do I need to place the .zip into a certain folder on sd?
I'm completely new to this type of stuff so don't mind my noob question. What would I use to back up my phone before I do one of these complete processes?
Thanks.
Also do I have to extract any files before using them? If so, where?
No it does not get extracted,,, and it does not go in any folders it goes directly onto the sd card,,, if you need to rename the file so that you can recognize it easier on the sdcard you can do that
I have been using this method:
"Go into recovery by either holding down the power button and choosing recovery from that menu, or by holding down the volume down, volume up, and power buttons until you see samsung flash for the second time, then let go of all three buttons. You should be in stock blue recovery, hit the volume down button once to highlight apply sdcard:update.zip and hit the home soft key. This will take you to red cwm....."
Question/Problem
I went from stock--> sc2.4(odin) --> sc2.5(odin again)....
Now I will be going to sc2.6, but I just want to flash it through CWM..
I have been trying to apply themes for the past 2 days with no success
because Red recovery won't pick up the .zip that put on the sd...
but when I look at the files on sd,I can clearly see it there..

Other than that,everything is running GREAT! You guys are doing/have done
a heck of a job bringing all of this to us... Thank you!
EDIT:
Oh , and I have been reading through threads and posts for hours trying to find the answer to this problem..
but to no avail.... So, Thanks again for the help..
Thank you for the quick response!
I will try renaming the file.....
I created a folder (themes) on sd earlier and put the .zip in it but
that too wouldn't come up... so I will try to just rename the file itself
and go from there ... Thanx! Now,get some sleep!
Thanks for the 2.6 bundle... So far,it's running like a champ!
Finally made the jump from stock and I'm glad I did. This thread has been very helpful to say the least! Just wondering, is this the method to flash from now on?:
...like when I upgrade to 2.6 or beyond, or want to flash a theme, or install that browser file to stop the force close problem? Thanks a ton!
so is there much of a difference between 2.6 and 2.5? im running superclean 2.5 and am wondering if i should upgrade to 2.6?
if so can i just download the link for the non data wipe 2.6, extract it, run it through odin and bam thats it? since i already have update.zip on my sd card from 2.5. or do i need to put another update.zip on my sd card cause its another upgrade?
thank you
