So I tried to search the forums for help on this and didn't see anything, but if I missed something I apologize.
I'm trying to find a thread for someo one new to flashing roms and kernals for the Samsung Facinate. I've already read how to root, load clockwork, and backup my current system. Now I would like to start to learn how to flash different roms. Is there a thread anywhere that has this? Also I see a lot of roms with DI101 or DJ05 or different ones. What does this mean? I see my build ends in DI01. Is that what it is? Can I load roms with other numbers? Can I upgrade mine? I hope this gives you an idea of where I am. Thanks!
Up at the top of this forum you'll see a sticky titled Fascinate Sticky Roll-Up Thread **Check this thread BEFORE posting**
Also, since you are not developing anything, you should not be posting new threads here. Post questions in fascinate general
if u click the sticky tab (that's if your using tapatalk) there r many informative links to how to root - how to apply roms - a very detailed link to a list of all roms. Check it out also at any developers forum don't post a question in development. Always post those under general discussion. Or tips and guides if there is 1 that is named that goodluck
Thanks for the info on where to post. I'll use that forum going forward.
So I've read through all of those posts already and I can't find the answer to my question. What are the Di01, or DJ05, etc? Do I need to be concerned with them when choosing a rom? I though they were kernals but when I goto phone info I don't see that info listed under kernal.
Those are the baseband revisions.
The phone initially shipped with DH12, then was updated to DI01. DJ05 and DL09 are both leaked maintenance updates that haven't been released.
When choosing a ROM you need to be sure have all matching components (ROM, kernel, modem). So if you want to flash a DJ05 ROM, you need the corresponding kernel and modem

Sorry to make another thread about this...but I looked and I couldn't find anything specific. I find general ones, but I get lost in the steps because some of them simply say " Do this" and I don't even know how to get to that.
My Fascinate is rooted, has a lagfix from another forum (don't remember which one) and nothing else.
I would like to flash that super clean rom by JT and also install that gingerbread theme that in the "Themes and Apps" section of the Fascinate Forum.
Is there anyone who could point/link/help me?
I see everyone say this flashed this or that and I have no clue how to do it.
First for reference purposes ll question threads should be located in the general section.
To flash things you need THIS working on your phone. And continue to keep reading and it will all make sence.
Tip: read the threads with the little push pin.
good day.
Thread moved to General.
Was wondering if we can get a ROM section with all ROMs in one place?
That would be sweet.
The dev section is more or less a rom section.
I don't think a separate section is needed, but what would help is a common format to identify threads which contain ROM's. For example, starting a ROM thread with "[ROM]". Iced Glacier is an example of a ROM thread that doesn't follow that format and therefore doesn't stand out as much as it could.
Maybe a sub section within the dev area....
Have you checked out the Wiki?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Glacier
Section 1.4 sounds like exactly what you are looking for.
Nice suggestion but no need to clutter the forums section as its already classified under Dev. Now I understand it maybe little hard for new users to get use to on what is what from thread title. But one must do research on howto and find it for themselves as if you brick it you are responsible for your own actions.
Best thing I can tell new user is they ask the folks in General or Q&A section to help them list stable roms and report their user feedback on pro/con about the rom this way you can get many input and ultimately flash it yourself and decide.

Oh nice.
Thanks

Realistically, seasoned users have no issues finding roms in the dev section, and new users shouldn't even be aloud to read thre dev section until they've been here for a while and have the chance to learn a little bit so they have a clue before they start trying to flash their phones.
I understand this would be better placed in the development thread, however due to my number of post I am not allowed to post there.
My question is does anyone know if the Eugene's GCR3 ROM includes swype? If not is there a way to get it while using that ROM?
I have read almost every post in the 52 page thread and I do not believe that question has been answered yet.
Thanks guys

No it is not, but you get it from here:

Follow the instructions.
If you're going to say, "thread closed. please post in the existing firmware thread", please be a bit more helpful and give a link to the existing firmware thread you're referring to.
eom
Hmm...what?
Edit: You are right. I don't see any existing lg6 thread.
Do you mean the existing firmware thread that all firmware posts are supposed to be put in .
The one called Stock Official Firmwares even the Guides and Roms official firmware makes it only a choice of two .
Message to mods should go via report thread if you want them to read it .

i didn't even bother to request the mod to not close that one because that happened to blfb thread when it was new then they reopened it since the official firmware thread is getting cluttered thus i thought they would do the same for this one.
since that didn't happen, i'd like to request to re-open that thread and rename it to XXBLG6 new features so as to save the other main thread from clutters and this one will be specific only to new xxblg6 ; it will be easier to search what's new.
tia.
Damn was just about to post in there too

Single thread, choice of two - it's all too confusing for simple me and my simple buddies ....
All I'm saying is what I said - it would have been *more* helpful to have put a link to the thread chrisd1a1 (which ever of the two you're on about, I dunno, I'm even more confused) in the "closing" post. Simples, no?
Re. second part, I'd rather open the issue up for discussion than keep it backroom, ta very muchly.
Closed, if you have a problem with a mod, feel free to PM them.
Also, take a look at the rules
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

There is two stock firmware thread, stickied in this subsection, just open them and read, one is more of a guide as well, the other just a list of download links, but you would know this if you had clicked on them.
Also there is a sticky that should help guide you to which forum subsection you need to be in to find stuff.
Also.. as mods we have multiple forums to look after, do you really want us, as well as moving misplaced threads around, keeping the peace, and everything else we do, to do your research for you? I think not.
If you have a problem with this post, or anything else, feel free to PM me.
I was having some trouble finding ROMs that I can flash on my S4 via safestrap. The trouble is I don't know how to tell which ones work, and which ones don't. I have an aversion to testing them myself as this is my 3rd phone in about a year, and I don't want to brick this one too. If anyone can help me out and tell me which ones are good to use and work on MF3 S4's and can be flashed via safestrap, I would be very appreciative.
Now having said that, I apologize if there are posts already like this. I used the search function to the best of my ability, but found no such thread that I am trying to create. Also, I apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I will put the names of the two ROMs I have tried below:
Graviton ROM v1.6 (liked the layout, but WiFi wouldn't work)
Intika (looked cool, but it was cluttered with GOlauncher and similar apps, which I personally don't like)
Compatible roms listed in th OP of the safestrap Q&A
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254
Question has been answered and link provided where to find the list. In the preemptive effort to stop this from becoming a free for all Best Rom thread I will be closing it. If the OP has any questions please feel free to PM me.

Have a great day!
