I have been recently finding that their is a lot more noobs coming here to flash SC 2.6. I also have noticed in order to flash 2.6 they have to go on a scavenger hunt to do so. I think if no one makes a guide on how to flash everything from modem to clockwork then I will.

Hey guys,
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Vibrant for a few days now with no success. I rooted the phone using superoneclick, then I clicked on Axura's link on android development section to get Axura 2.3.1.2. I followed the video posted by the dev to install the new Rom. It stated to use OCLF, then use Rom manager to install the app.
Well I went into Rom manager installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.2 I believe it was. Then I click on install Rom and it asked if I wanted to backup current rom and wipe cache. I checked both and hit okay, the list came up where I had Axura installed on my Sd I clicked that......it said phone will reboot into clockworkmod recovery to load, after that is when the problem starts. It automatically goes into Samsung recovery i select reinstall packaged and get error e: signature not verified.
I have tried to get into recovery manually by holding vol -+ and power but still loads into samsung recovery not clockwork. Has anyone ran into this problem before?? I've searched all over the forum and google and could not find any info to help me with this. I really would like to install some custom Roms to try them out.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help. I tried to be as specific as I can with the problem but if you guys need more info I can give more. Thank you
Have you updated to 2.2 already? The official 2.2 comes with a new recovery version, that causes problems with CWR.
If you had upgraded, odin back to 2.1, then root and flash a custom firmware from there. I recommend Bionix V 1.3.1, it is pretty beast.

I upgraded to 2.2 Froyo with Kies Mini couple of weeks ago. I was tired of waiting for it and thought it was going to be a big improvement over Eclair but didnt notice anything except losing my MMS messaging!
Is there any way to do it with Froyo before I Odin back to Eclair?
Thank you

?? I'm sorry I'm a noob to all this so I may not be understanding the quick terminology. Thank you for your response.
Therr is a thread im the dev section on how to modify the recovery but tbh its easier to odin and start the process over...it's not like you weren't going to habe to wipe the phone when you flashed custom firmwares.

I am using comrom 2.1, and i cant seem to find a guide to help me flash the new cm7. If anyone cant point me to a thread, or list in detail here what to do, we can try to make a sticky, cause im sure there are a ton of people just as confused as me . Thanks!

This is one of the first threads you'll (currently) see in the dev section as well as the 3rd result in a general search for "CM7, fascinate." Are you SURE you looked before posting? Anyways, follow those instructions and you should be golden. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, but yes ive been through those threads already, and it does not seem clear to me. Im looking for more of a guide to help me through, almost like whats happening with the telnus fascinate, many guides are popping up to help people with flashing.

I approve of this simple guide.
I did it myself and worked perfectly...of course you should download the 7/18 update and flash that instead of 7/4 rom referenced on the guide.
You might also want to look further down the CM7 Thread. There have been a bunch of ROM/kernel updates from what i've read. Some fixing issues you might have from 7/18 build.

No disrespect intended here, but I recommend actively researching anything you find confusing in there; same applies for CM7 in general. Believe me, I understand where you're coming from and it took a couple months of lurking around the dev section before I was comfortable enough to even make my first post!
Having said that, I went to CM7 from UKB2.1 and may be able to assist. Which details have you confused / nervous?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I also understand where you are at, people just asking questions and not looking. I just had confusion with the whole process. But i have it installed now! but one problem, i have no recovery :/ . I guess installing it removed it?
Are you using the 3-button method? It's an adjustment, but that method is absent from CM7. You can only get there via adb or (much more simply) by selecting Reboot from the power button menu. You will then be given the choice to reboot into recovery.
EDIT: To clarify, this also means that you can no longer do a cold boot into recovery; if for some reason the Rom won't boot, your only real options are adb (only if you know EXACTLY what you're doing) or using Odin to return to stock and starting over from scratch.

Its absent from holding the power button aswell. I found out that i have to go to Rom manager and then boot into recovery that way. Thanks for the help everyone!
YMMV, but my understanding is that Rom Manager still doesn't play nice with the Fascinate. Personally, it's given me nothing but trouble regardless of setup.
Don't get me wrong, Koush has done a lot for Android development in general and I'm not knocking his work. However, the majority of feedback on Rom Manager I've seen from Fascinate users has been overwhelmingly negative.
EDIT: Make sure that Power Prompt is enabled. You will find it in Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Interface

Here are the exact steps I did today.
Flashed Completely back to stock
reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178544
Note: I just downloaded the file he included.
1. Odined the MD5 file from the aforementioned file
note: LET YOUR PHONE COMPLETELY BOOT UP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE
your phone will boot as stock/unrooted/****cake
2. Odined Fixed CWM4 recovery *.tar file
You can download this recovery from jt's original post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116424
3. Boot to recovery using 3-button method (volume up&down + power [holding until recovery shows up])
4. Flashed 7/26 CM7 (updated by imnuts)
reference: http://imnuts.net/quXv55
5. Flashed GApps found in jt's post (link from step2)
6. Flashed DockandUSBAudio fix found in jt's post (link from step2)
7. Chose reboot system
8. $$
FYI: the Dock and audio usb fix contains the kernel by jt. I found the 7/26 build to be a bit more buggy (signal animation is messed up). at least call speaker now works. But ultimately i re-flashed the 7/24 build from imnuts and flashed the dockusbaudio fix to snag jt's kernel. (sum it up: im running the 7/24 build with dockusbaudio fix)
I state the following not as an insult, but as honest advice:
If you don't feel comfortable following the guide in jt's CM7 thread, you need to do more research on roms and kernels first. There shouldn't be any guesswork to it as long as one has an understanding of the steps involved, what each step does, and why it's necessary.
Yes, it is possible to "get by" with only a functional understanding of of how to flash things, for example, but that's why people end up with bricks after, say, flashing an Amend script in an Edify-only recovery.

Thanks for putting together this extra guide. I have been reading through the threads and know how easy it is to get lost on what information applies and what doesn't as things evolve.
Hey guys i updated to 2.3.3
i thot my root was still good cause i can still install apps from sd..
so recently i downloaded root toolbox..
when i opened it it says please root device before use...
so googled 2.3.3 fascinate root..
i tried super one click no success..
so i found a tutorial that uses odin..
so it seemed to have worked but the phone did not stop rebooting?
so flash it back with factory ROM found on the same page of tutorial..all good..
tried to re install superuser..still the same?
is this version rootable or what??
Fascinate from telus 2.3.3 kernel 2.6.35.7-t959tlkg2
This can be answered with research.
Please refrain from posting questions in the General section. Use Q&A.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
2.3 is rootable but the easiest method is just to flash an already rooted rom (such as pwgb) to your phone.
and yes, please take a minute to familiarize yourslf with the forum rules. Thank you.
I'm updating my wife's rooted Epic from 2.2.1 to the latest EL30 Gingerbread release and am not seeing a thread that fully addresses the process here. I've been in HTC land for the past year and the whole odin/pit thing is completely greek to me, so I'm really concerned with making sure I don't brick her phone and get yelled at for spending 3 hours trying to fix what I just did
Are these steps correct?
1. Odin/Pit/Tar official EL30
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
2. Update CWM to 5.0.2.7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
3. Flash new ROM (Looking at SleeperROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465628&highlight=sleeper
I'm assuming that the new CWM has a one-click root method like before, but I cannot find the details in the thread. If not, do the instructions in the "Rooting EI22 after OTA or Google update [11/10]" still apply where I have to download the ACS recovery, or is there an easier method that I haven't found?
I apologize for the noobish post and I'm sure this info is in here somewhere, unfortunately after an hour of searching around I haven't found an updated root/upgrade method that makes this brainless.
Thanks

Thanks. Found the video for upgrading to EL30 and it's much easier than going back to stock. All I need to do after is flash the radio, and there's plenty of info there.

Your steps are correct.
Basically ODIN the official EL30 tar.
Then ODIN the tar version of CWM5.
This will automatically root your phone and install CWM5.
After that you can flash custom roms of your liking.
I would suggest CM9 beta as it is stable if you use your phone for basic stuff like calling/internet surfing, GPS and other minor tasks.

Thanks. I'll probably go this route just to ensure that the radio (etc) flashes correctly. However I'll definitely skip CM9 beta until it's at least RC; wife's phone means no fun...she just don't care
***Quick question, to ODIN the tar version of CWM5 are there any special configurations in ODIN to be aware of?
For those that may follow:
First, getting to stock EL30:

Then ROM Manager (First Download HERE):
Then the next answer to ***
Correct. Make sure the md5's match. So everything will go smooth. You will wanna go to the link in qbking77 video for how to flash cwm 5.0.2.7. I believe is the right one. So you will use odin. Flash the tar. Make sure only reboot is checked. If you are coming from 2.2. And or a bml. Rom. Which. As you was saying it sounds like you are. I don't remeber which slot you put the cwm tar. In. But the video will guide you. . His videos. Comes in handy. If you need any more help. A lot of people will be more then happy to help. Further.
