Mac help w/ installing Super Clean ROM - Fascinate General

OK so I have read, read, and read some more until I think I have totally confused myself to the point of beating my head on a table. Heres my deal. I have done the z4root on my fascinate, downloaded titanium backup and ROM manager. I have used the wireless tether and all that so I know I am rooted, also get the superuser request before launching things. Now... I would like to install the Super Clean ROM on my phone. When I go into ROM manager, I did the clockwork backup and it asked which phone I had, Fascinate and everything went ok. Then I did a backup, and it rebooted. Now I downloaded the ROM and picked what I wanted from the menu. Then it rebooted and would not install. I have a MAC if that means anything, and havent downloaded anything to my MAC bc I didnt see where I needed to? My ? is WTF do I have to do to make this work? I guess I need like an elementary explanation. Im pissed enough to just get rid of it honestly, and Im sure its something basic Im missing. PLEASE HELP!!!

Sounds to me like you dont have the cwmrecovery kernel installed. Need to use the thread that is stickied for how to root and install cwm.. download cwmrecovery.tar and flash in odin. Then you can reboot into recovery and apply update.zip to get into cwm and flash from there.
So, basically, you need to check out the stickied thread about how to root and install cwm. Make sure drivers for fascinate are installed on your computer. You can download from one of the stickied threads that lists the links to download and install fascinate drivers. Then download Odin and the proper .tar files to use in odin. Flash the cwmrecovery kernel from odin. Then reboot and use rom manager to reboot into cwmrecovery. If you done everything correctly, you'll see cwm come up with it's options. Use "install .zip from sdcard," then navigate to your rom .zip file and choose to flash.

OK so that is like Latin to me... Im so pissed and frustrated!

Odin doesn't work on a MAC. Download the file indicated in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
If you haven't used redbend_ua to flash the clockwork recovery kernel, then clockwork isn't installed yet and you won't be able to install ROMs.

Kaos Fryo leak help

First off let me just say I wanted to post this in the thread but it said I haven't met some kind of requirement to post yet.
My question is I have read about rooting etc etc but being that this is my first time I didnt want to screw up so because Kaos's leak is pre rooted do I need to still root my phone or will this do it for me?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
No, the ROM is pre-rooted already so you don't need to root once installed.
However, the ROM is installed through Clockwork Recovery, so that means that you need to have ROM Manager and Clockwork Recover Mod installed, which, will require that your phone is rooted..
You can find the threads in this forum that show you how to install all that..
When using ODIN, be sure to use "PDA" and not "Phone".. if you use Phone, you will end up with a paper weight...
Good luck!
You need to root your phone first
will not be able to install
Thanks!!!

How do I root a fascinate when it's on 2.1 update 1?
I believe you can flash CWM via download mode w/ Odin, and then flash the 2.2 leak+kernel with that, so technically you don't need to be rooted to install this, provided you have access to the proper equipment.
SOrry this is a duplication. I asked in another thread but was stepped on by VooDoos and such.
I have a stock rom. It USED to show as DI01. I did figure out how to root it, and just now noticed that it is showing as DH12 (baseband version AND build number), no longer DI01.
So, I need to update it first, before I can install DL30, correct?
I have a DL09.tar.tar file.
I have ODIN3.exe.
I have the DL30-leak.zip.
I have no clue what a CWM is or how to use/install it.
Where can I find the steps to get me to DL30?
Thanks.

Waw. OK. If you are on a plain DH12 with no Clockwork Mod Recovery installed, then you need to do a lot of steps. I'm just going to give you a high level overview and not going into details. You find the details and make sure you understand.
1. Make sure you install USB drivers and that your computer can see your phone when plugged in.
2. Install ODIN in your computer
3. Use ODIN to flash the DL09.tar via PDA! (Very important!)
4. Once you are on DL09. Get the CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470 and flash with ODIN via PDA. (never on Phone)
5. Get also the update.zip from that thread and put it in the root of your SD card.
6. Then go to Market and get ROM Manager, then install Clockwork Recovery through ROM Manager.
7. Now to install DL30: (look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499)
a. Get the "New" CWM .zip file and put it in your SD card.
b. Put the DL30.zip in your SDCard.
c. Boot into CW Recovery mode from ROM Manager, you should see the Green Clockwork Recovery mode.
d. Apply the new CWM .zip via "choose .zip from SD card"
e. Apply the DL30.zip same way.
f. Wipe data, cache and Devilk cache (in the Advanced menu).
g. Reboot.. and voila !
Lean how to use CWM first (how to navigate, etc).. Good luck!

if you have d109 the one click root doesnt work.. ur going to have to use adb and force push the files to your phone..
okay, how do I do that? sorry, I am new to this, and can't find the actual android debug bridge app, nor can I find how to use it to push the files with it properly.
now I'm really confused, I downloaded the sdk tools, which supposedly have adb in it, but cannot find it after having it download everything checked by default, wtf!?

3) download the fascinate drivers on your computer and install them. they can be
here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I500RKAVZW
4) place the update.zip on your sd card
5) take the battery out of your phone and plug into your computer with the usb
cable.
6) hold the volume down button until a yellow triangle appears
7) place the ODIN file into the PDA section. NOT THE PHONE
8) start and wait til its finished.
9) put your battery back in, unplug and turn your phone on.
10) download superuser from the market. Note: the market it currently down for
some.
You are now rooted

I'm on stock DL01 about to flash it to DL09 but I'm getting so confused on all the CMW. Could you post a link to the correct CWM for DL09 and then for DL30 please? Also, can you check over these steps.
1) Start: Stock DL01 (Rooted, No CWM)
2) Flash DL09.tar.md5
3) Install correct CWM for DL09 (Is this possible without rooting DL09 as you said?)
4) Flash DL30
5) Install correct CWM for DL30
6) Use CWM to delete data, cache, etc
7) Finish
roboliger see my post above (#5). the first one will give you CWM for DLO9. The second one will walk you through flashing DL30 (froyo). Make sure you clear data before and not after you flash DL30 and the new CWM.

It seems like your missing a bit, what happens with the update.zip that i put into the sd card?
I'm on vzw's dl09, I'll try those steps, thank you.
Ok so I Flashed DL09 Pda'd that clockwork thing then installed rom manager. Rom manager said i didnt root my phone yet and that it couldnt find superuser at /system/bin/su and i installed superuser.
I get all kinds of errors when trying to run clockworks rom manager. the one they noticed and it gives an error in flashing the old clockwork mod. not to mention I get: an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands! when I try to reboot into recovery mode.
Delete everything. Wipe your phone thru Settings/Privacy .. you will have to reactivate your phone.
Download this package: http://www.multiupload.com/C0HFVLSI22
Use ODIN to flash the package. THEN download Rom Manager from App Market and click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. This will install the OLD CWM which is the cleanest and should not need to add the "update.zip". Reboot into Recovery and go from there .. install from zip etc. etc.

You shouldn't need the dl09 to get to dl30. I was on dl01 and went straight to dl30.
With a nice clean phone on dl01 flash the .tar file I posted via ODIN (PDA).
How long does the wiping data... in clockwork mod generally take? Mine has been at it for about 10mins or so...
btw, I'm on step 3 of installing DL30.

Samsung Vibrant 2.2 dont get clockwork green

Hey, I just rooted my vibrant with Superoneclick and backed it up with Titanium. Then I downloaded ROM Manager and clicked flash clockwork mod recovery and then clicked reboot into recovery. But I get the blue text even after clicking reinstall packages two times. Could someone please help me I'm new at this.
I think 2.2 has a locked bootloader. Use ODIN to go back to stock 2.1 and then root and use CWM recovery. After that you can flash whatever you like.
Use this guide here and you will be alright.
Doesn't have a locked bootloader. Make sure update.zip got put on your sdcard in the root directory.
If not you can use the one I've linked.

You can just use Odin to flash a voodoo kernel. Did the same on my girlfriends phone this weekend and that solved.

[Q] I have a dilemma:

I'm trying to root my Continuum, but I'm having a ridiculous amount of trouble.
I'm new to the android scene, and this is my first smartphone.
I was researching how to root it, and I decided I want to flash CMW on it.
I was using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057072 for help, as well as http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-continuum/
I downloaded Odin, PDA'd the tar.md5 recovery, flashed it, and then put the update-i400.zip on my sdcard. I restarted my phone in recovery mode, and I was trying to install the update-i400.zip, and it won't let me. I've done both the tar.md5 and adryn's test4.tar, as well as renaming the .zip just 'update'
I'm lost, and need some help, please. I would've posted this in the development section, but being a noob, it won't let me. If anyone can help, that'd just be great.
Are you rooted? You have to have root access before you can do that stuff I believe, I could be wrong though.
No, i'm attempting to root, but I'm so dang lost.
Here you go sir

i hope this helps.
video is about how to use superoneclick
by the way i used superoneclick 1.7 just because it worked with me and its the only one i trust. but thats just me.
good luck
bye the way you can check if you are rooted using terminal emulator from the android market
yes super one click worked for me select universal mode then rage against the cage and then hit root it might hang for a minute but it should reboot then check to see if theres an app called super user. once you see that your rooted.

I used SOC and after phone rebooted no SU app so did again (as per instr. on xda) rebooted and SU installed. Also for CwM Ive had best luck using odin3 1.3, adryns test4 tar, cwm 2.5 update zip, but I still had to use menu softkey to apply zip. Right now I can use rom manager app to boot into cwm, it says 2.5.1 but it has red text?
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
You can flash the Odin ROM without root. That will root and install the proper kernel for you... then use CWM to flash whatever ROM you want to use.
Or you can flash the complete odin package for 2.2 thats on the Continuum Development section.
Which will also make your device rooted

You don't want to rename the rom zip. You have to use the Cyan CWM update.zip, which is here: http://www.4shared.com/file/cLdwKNsU/update.html
I don't know if the other links posted are for the same file, but that's the one that works with Froyo.
You must have the cwm update.zip on your flash card. When you start up in recovery, you'll need to select apply update.zip. Use the volume rocker to highlight update.zip, and tap the menu soft-key to select. Once in CWM, the power button is select, and the back soft-key is back. You'll want to select the menu option to install zip from sd card, select zip to install, and browse to where you saved the rom file.
If all else fails, I'll be uploading a super-clean debinged ROM in the next few days. Once it's up, just flash via Odin as you did with adrynalyn's cwm recovery image.

Rooting EI22 after OTA or Google update [11/10]

Video Provided by qbking77: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWOLEXqAeCc
Will update the process into a more east to read format as soon as I can.
This isnt a question anymore because the method I will explain below works perfectly. Thanks to Gjones77, Stilesja, marcasant, Mkasik, xBTx and chrisott9628 as well as the acs team for providing the tools needed to root the OTA.
first you need to install the OTA either through the OTA method or through the Google link method.
Next you need to go to the ACS forums and Download the ACS recovery 1.0.0.5.tar.md5 file, http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Epic%2FACSRecovery%2F
You will need this file as well http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
Edit: see the 2 options below first so that you can retain CWM on your phone after reboot as samsung put a script in their kernel that will flush it out after reboot.
You will also need to have the latest version of Odin, Odin3 v1.85.
1) confirm you have gingerbread EI22.
2) download the 2 files above (you can use CWM purple version as well if you dont want the acs Recovery.)
3) Put the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip file onto your sdcard and turn off the phone.
4) Boot into Download mode by holding the 1 key on the keyboard and the power key
5) open odin and connect the phone to the computer, one of the ID:com boxes will light up to confirm it is connected.
6) put the ACSrecovery.tar.md5 file into the PDA area of odin, make sure everything is uncheck except Auto-reboot and hit start.
7) if done correctly your phone should reboot directly into ACS recovery mode.
8) once in recovery flash the Su-***** .zip file then reboot the phone.
9) If CWM does not stick due to the added script Samsung embedded in the phone kernel you should see below. There are thus far, 2 possible options, Option 1 will give you the Keyboard fix with a relatively Stock experience and Option 2 will give you a Deodexed Rom, nubernal, the keyboard fix and the GPS fix.
Thought id add something to this first:

You can also make your CWM override the built in Samsung issue as well as add the nubernal. To do this, follow the steps up until you get into ACS recovery or CWM and flash the .zip in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339579 rather than the Su.zip file. This will completely fix your GPS and CWM problems as well as deodex the EI22 version you have.

I just noticed that metalblaster said "so just flash purple" after chrisott9628 said to use the ACS CWM. Does it matter which one you use?
i just assumed purple because it was odin that was being used to add it.

I can confirm that this doesnt not infact work for me at least. Ive tryed every odin version as well as renaming the file to a .Tar rather than .md5 as well as using the .md5 and the .zip files. Its no use.
Actually as soon as i posted this i tried the file posted above to try to get CWM and it worked like a charm. You need to place the .md5 file into the pda portion of odin3 v1.85 and check only auto reboot. If done correctly the phoen should boot into CWM directly and then you can flash the Su.zip file to gain root.
***NOOB ALERT***
I asked this in another thread, but its way more appropriate here:
Would Gingerbreak work on EI22? I used it last week to root EC05 and flash Toadlife's EH17 stability rom. It installs a slightly older version of CWM (I think), but it also installs Superuser.
Just wondering.

I tried it and when rebooting, it reboots into the phone (not into CWM). I reboot the phone with the 3 finger salute and it is still the stock recovery. Odin shows that the recovery flash was successful.
EDIT - Nevermind - was using a downlevel ODIN.
