I'm a beginner with a rooted verizon fascinate gt-i9000. i tried to upgrade to darkys 9.3 rom from superclean via rom manager from the marketplace. my phone has been stuck on the boot screen with the samsung logo and gt-i900 on it. i have tried flashing to darkys 9.2 and the original i9000 rom with odin but it still goes back to the same screen. also i tried to flash cwm but it fails on odin. ive looked at many forums and tried to follow their instructions but nothing has worked. i can only get to the download mode. please help!!!
Hi,
I had a similar problem with my Samsung galaxy s i9000, flashed the wrong rom using Odin.....i tried stuff but made it worse as i am very much a learner with rooting & flashing.... as long as u can get it into download mode means it is fixable.... i ended up taking mine to a phone repair shop in.Derby & the bloke re flashed it for ¢30... i since bought a HTC desire & rooted it then downloaded rom manager which really is a safe way to flash roms. Rom manager can partition your SD card which is needed, then you download Roms directly in rom manager then it installs them.automatically....... be careful using Odin because u really can brick your phone if your not sure about how to use it........good luck

was the galaxy s phone you had to take in under verizon
What is Verizon? Is that a USA network?

There's no Verizon i9000.
i9000 = GSM, carriers outside North America
i500 = CDMA, Verizon (USA)
Darky's = i9000. Totally incompatible.

Yeah, you have this sorta backwards. Odin is what makes it damn near impossible to brick the phone (now that we have full restore sets). ROM Manager doesn't work properly on the Fascinate, and no matter what phone you're on, it won't prevent you from wrecking your phone by flashing A ROM FOR A DIFFERENT DEVICE (which is what the original poster did).
What he needs to do is get into download mode and apply one of the full-restore Odin packages (including pit file).

^^^winner, be sure you always use the right rom for your phone.. thats a quick way to ruin a very fun tool.. if ur new at this read read read read read.. u can never over read directions that will save you $700 of not trashing ur phone.. just remeber that the i9000 is not american, and is not a verizon fascinate, there is a forum right below the fascinate for the i9000.. just be careful.. and gl
Is anything from this sub-forum apply to verizon fascinate?
Just to make sure to use proper rom.
I heard canadian telus also sell fascinate. And some cdma networks over the world also can have fascinate. But this cdma networks works on different frequencies

like i said i am very new to this and saw no reference to the i9000 being different from the i500. my boot screen shows i9000 so i assumed my phone was an i9000. i've tried to find a verizon fascinate forum to fix my phone but nothing successful has risen yet. any ideas???

haha good analogy. thanks
Download odin and the files in this post. That will get you basic froyo. From there you have lots of options on what roms you can flash.

Did you repartition when you were installing cm7?

He should have... the guide I posted in the 2nd link clearly states to repartition. Usually if you add the pit file, repartition auto checks itself anyways.

There is no official 2.3 update yet... but there is a powerwashed gingerbread rom in dev section thats a official mezmerize build. Its basically a stock gb rom thats rooted/debloated/ bing free/ deodexed.

you need to odin this just like a stock package. use the going back to stock section of this guide below. Just replace the file in step 1 with powerwashed gb.

I agree PW GB is very good except when I try to play 3d games (Guerrilla Bob) the touch screen freezes and does not allow any movement.

Just use the guide I posted in the 2nd link. It will put his phone on powerwashed ed05 2.2.2 froyo. It's basically a stock rom thats already rooted, debinged, debloated, otb fusion 1.6 voodoo kernal...etc. No point in just rooting anymore with these enhanced stock roms that ccompos put together for us.
Thanks will do

I did this on my Fascinate. I went from Super Clean 2.8 back to stock, OTA updated to Verizon 2.2 and then Odin'd Powerwash Gingerbread 2.0 beta 3. No complaints here, PWGB is great!

thats because the version of cwm you are running supports ext4 only, not rfs that powerwashed gingerbread is built on. Make sure you have cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. There is no need to go all the way back to eb01. the stock ed05 package is fine.
Hello XDA community,
Lend me your ear..eyes.
I have relentlessley been trying to find a way to flash my phones rom to a ICS port but scouering the internet, hard it has been (Yoda Voice).
I am hoping that someone who has been able to sucessfully flash ICS on a Bell Vibrant [i9000m] can point me in the right direction. I see alot of i9000 guides but we all know how those end up when you try to follow them on a phone with just slight differences and I really dont want to have a *epic fail* moment and be forced to have to dust off the old Motorolla Milestone.
Whoever can help me will get will get the feeling of accomplishment and be labeled as just a nice guy, or girl.
So please XDAers show me how to use the force. The force of ODIN if necessary
-Additional Info-
The phone was sucessfully rooted using SuperOneClick v2.3.3
Model Number: GT-i9000M
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: i9000UGKG3
Build number: GINGERBREAD.GK3
Let me know if you need anything else. I am quick to respond.

Flashing Onecosmics I9000 should be fine, but this is not development so it was not supposed to be flashed here, worst case is if you flash onecosmics you will just have to flash a button mapping fix and thats it

I should have been more specific but thank you for the response. I need to actually be able to get into CWM before I can flash the ICS build. The problem here is that I have CWM on my phone but when I attempt to boot to the recovery I get an error stating 'E: Failed to verify whole-file signature' & 'E:signature verification failed' 'installation aborted'.
This leads me to believe that the current ADSR I have flashed to this phone wont let me load CWM . This is where things get a little bit tricky, the net is all over the place with explanations on how to get a recovery that might allow me to get into CWM. To be honest though I could be looking at this completely the wrong way.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks for your help ahead of time
Anyone on here have a Bell i9000M that have been sucessfull with this?

You might actually have better luck posting this in the i9000 section. I believe the t959 and the i9000m are more dissimilar than the i9000 and the i9000m. Since t959 roms don't work on the i9000m, I would think not many i9000m owners would check this section. Best of luck in finding your answer.

Honest mistake. No need to be a jerk about it.
My step moms old phone is bricked from OTA gingerbread. My friend is in need of a temporary phone and i want to loan her this droid 2. I've SBFed my phone (same DROID 2 bought same day) using Linux on a virtual machine and TBH Triple Threat FULL SBF for 2.3.20 . I cant seem to find the old SBF file (probably because it went away when i deleted the virtual machine) and i want/need it back! Id rather flash to FroYo than GB, and i cant find a SINGLE link that works! Can someone please point me to a working link or email me the sbf a [email protected]? Please!! I have dropbox too if you want to share a folder.
NOTE: Ive also tried using a .iso that an individual wrote. They took linux and wrote it to just flash an sbf on ones phone. So i burned the .iso to a CD (and DVD, both single writes :/ ) and cant get my 2005 Sana Rosa (sp?) Mac to boot from the freaking disk i made..

Okay, long story short, I've been having a nightmare with my phone. So I did this, and then installed gingerbread, and the excellent CM7.2 mod.
BUT, because of the AT&T froyo backup file I installed using Roadkil disk image, my phone is now locked to AT&T.
If I can't unlock the phone, or find a different (unlocked) froyo backup file, I can't get in touch with this awesome girl I've got a date with tomorrow.
Please help me get my phone working again, so that I can go on this date!

Try installing official GB(if you have the u8800pro) and then any custom ROM you want(looks like you have the pro and used the -51 method). And for Christ's sake please post questions to Q&A forum -.-'
@diestarbucks request to move these 2 threads to Q&A
I answered to you on your other thread.
Only a user of -51 can help you.
But as i read, you have AT&T and i really don't know how to fix your problem.

You can unlock the phone with the u8800-51 upgrade to gb tutorial.

So, the phone is fixed (kinda). I used the official gingerbread and that unlocked it. It's still got an AT&T logo when it boots, and it's definitely a U8800 pro. But, it works fine with cm7.2, so it's all good.
And the date went extremely well, so thanks for that.
