[Q] Will Heimdall now work? - Fascinate General

Hi all,
I am using a mac and haven't been able to ODIN new radios and the like to my phone. I'm wondering if the proper framework is in place with our froyo update to support Heimdall now. I would love to flash the DL09 radio and be completely up to date (I'm on DJ05 right now.)
Thanks!

I went from dj05 and had zero problems...save for a slight decrease in speed when running heavy.

You're saying you used Heimdall to flash the DL09 radio?

Is there a flashable J16 rom around?

I've looked around and I can only find ODIN roms for J16. Anything that can be flashed with Clockwork? It's probably right in front of me knowing me. Am I missing something?
No, ODIN is not an option.
I just installed bionix fusion, which is based on JI6 but with the JI2 modem. However there is a clockwork-flashable JI6 modem that I used.
This took about 10 seconds to locate:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808830
I saw that, but I also saw that it had some wifi bugs while reading the topic. I'll try it but I need a clean and bugless flashable image of J16.
I hate bumping topics, but I have to. Are there any stock J16 clockwork flashable images available that do not have Wifi issues?
If not, do you think when Froyo stock is released they will have one? I really want Touchwiz froyo when it comes out (Soon! The i9000 is getting updates as we speak). Whether it's having stock J16 and upgrading through the carrier or flashing a stock froyo rom through clockwork, I just want to make sure I have TW froyo.
If you just need the ji6 modem then can't you just go to team whiskey website they have the ji2 n ji6 modems.. If thats not what your looking for then sorry.

It doesn't appear that there are solid flashable JFD/JI6 ROMs. Some will argue about TouchWiz, Bionix has integrated a portion of TW in Fusion but you want stock. So....
Option 1) Buckle down, sell the Apple, get a PC, use Odin, install JI6.
Option 2) If you've got a newer Apple, buckle down, install parallels/bootcamp, install XP/Win7, use Odin, install JI6.
Option 3) Use a friends PC, use Odin, install JI6.

ODIN isn't an option because you are using a Mac? I don't think I read that. Please inform us otherwise why you can't use ODIN.
wait, if all this is just because of froyo, just freaking flash eugene r6 when it comes out or just wait for one of the developers to get the OTA froyo and make a flashable version.
Flash bionix and enjoy it in the meatime...

99.7% of the time that's the predominant answer as to why someone can't use Odin. So I'm assuming that's why s/he can't...
I'd like an answer too, I hate following the SWAG principle.

I should have mentioned why I can't use ODIN. Haha. Well, there ARE only Mac's around me but my issue is that my computer that I have with me where I'm at currently is my netbook. ODIN is too big for the resolution on my little 10.1 inch screen. Haha. I guess I can try dual booting an old copy of XP on my brothers Macbook.
EDIT: I might have been the only one in the world to not like Bionix. The standby battery life was meh on my device. I'm using AOSPish by Anderdroid and I love it. My quest for stock TW was in case I ever needed to send the device back to T-Mo.

[Q] DJ05 - No Vibration

Relatively new to the Android world. These Forums are awesome, its how I've managed to do everything i have. So first off, Nice Job!!! My Fascinate is my first Android phone. Had it for about a month so far. Already Bricked one, Even pushed stock files with Odin to no avail. But that's neither here nor there. Any who, pushed DJ05 Modem with Odin, Installed JT1134's SuperClean V. 0.7 (DJ05), and using JT1134's Voodoo 5 Kernel. In "About Phone" it says Baseband is "S:i500.04 V.DJ05" and Build is "SCH-I500.DJ05" and from what i understand Voodoo 5 is a DJ05 Kernel. So just wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to why i have no Haptic Feedback or any vibration functions at all for that matter. Aside from that i love it. GPS syncs much faster, Super smooth and fluid. Love the set up, just wish i had vibration. Any ideas?
what kernel did you install, as in the filename? Just to make sure it is in fact a voodoo5 kernel. Also, it'd probably be best to ask this in the same place you found DJ05.
Search...
You need a DJ05 kernel, there are some stupidfast kernels that are DJ05, and the newest voodoo's should be.

dang i hate this new thanks key...didnt mean to hit that
Yeah it's Voodoo 5. Downloaded it through Rom Manager. Said "Voodoo 5, 12/3, Stable"
Good idea, i'll definately check out IRC.
Any1 figure out the issue. I have the same problem running stupidfast 1.54 kernal and super dark 1.1
Install the voodoo in the dev section. Make sure its voodoo5 by jt

Considering 1.54 is a DJ05 kernel.
And Superdark 1.1 is a DI01 rom
I would see where your issues come into play.
Superdark DJ05 v1 HERE.
And it would make me question if you flashed the DJ05 modem in odin. For things to work right you need all 3 pieces of the puzzle. DJ05 modem, DJ05 rom, and DJ05 kernel.
good day.
I too am not getting haptic feedback. I did all 3 steps and have sense tried a different kernel. I guess when I get up in the morning I am going to start everything over from scratch if no one has any ideas. we will see how that works.

[Q] DL09 Quick Questions

Hey everyone! I hate to take up another thread but i like to be as sure as possible when it comes to messing with ODIN, since from what i understand that is where most people have likely bricked their phone.
Currently im running sonofskywalkers 2.3 rom i believe with DI01. I want to update to the newest one, which from what i understand means i need to upgrade to DL09.
My question is they say not to flash 01 stuff to over 09, so do i need to completely revert back to stock to push the new stuff since the rom i am running currently is for 01. Or am i safe to go ahead and update the radio and stuff, and boot up and get into rom manager to download the newest rom?
Thanks for your patience community and quick and helpful responses.
You are fine flashing over what you have, the issues mainly come up when you don't flash all the parts together (ROM, kernel, modem).
As far as Odin goes, as long as you use the PDA function, and not the PHONE function, you will be fine.
Edit: BTW, are you running a voodoo kernel? If so, that needs to be disabled before proceeding
For one, make sure voodoo is disabled if its on your kernal. If thats okay, then I would just odin this and then try to find a root method that would work. Or instead of rooting your stock, just flash a rooted rom onto your phone after the full odin.
BTW if you do want to keep stock, know that it can be a pain to get root to work. For some people it can be annoyingly hard, while others are able to use something simple such as the one click root. I was able to get one click to work, but it varies. If something goes wrong, you can always just re-odin the full package again.
I thought i might add here that you mentioned reading not to flash di01 stuff over dl09.
What that means is after you odin the dl09 upgrade you should no longer flash roms, kernels, themes and such that are not dl09. Flashing a di01 kernel would not work once you upgrade to dl09.
Hope this helps.
Have fun

[Q] When they say 'Radio' and 'Kernel'

Ever the noob, but always willing to learn I have another question. I've been rooted for about a week and I'm wondering what people mean when they say DJ05 radio or DL09 radio. I get Dj05 and Dl09 are the different updates for the phone, but what is the 'radio' and why is it required for say, DL30 to work (I haven't had an issue with this but I'm wondering what it means anyways)
Also, when people talk about voodoo Kernels and the like, what does this mean, and how is it different then simply flashing a rom?
EDIT: Reading the first post is good for learning about Kernels, still don't understand the radio part though.
Thanks and cheers
Gabe

For each update to the OS (system and kernel), there's an associated update to the baseband/modem/radio (all the same thing). Think of this as just the firmware for the actual cellular radio. It's tweaked to work with a specific update to the OS, so when Verizon/Samsung releases an update, they release 3 main parts - the kernel, the ROM and the baseband. Typically, they should all be used together - DJ05 versions of each, or DL09 versions of each.
Sometimes, not much changes in one part and you can use it with different revisions of the other(s). Like now, where the DJ05 and DL09 versions of the baseband are still compatible with the DL30 rom and kernel.
Other times, they're not compatible, for example DI01 basebands weren't compatible with DJ05 or DL09, and things like SMS would stop working if these parts were mis-matched.

[australia] android-v2.3.3 (optus)

anyone with an australian handset had much luck installing android v2.3.3 on their device without the help of a 3rd party rom like darkys or ultibread?
ive managed to install (original-xxjvk) functioning on samsung galaxy s with only a custom kernel if anyone is interested in a howto. ive only had my galaxy for a few weeks and have only managed to get it running myself without forced closes etc.
i dunno if anyone is having the same amount of trouble as i am trying to hook into android v2.3.3 but i think ive mastered it for aussies lookin to use the latest android on australian networks no hassles. i just didn't want to post a howto for something everyone has already worked out lookin like a fool. heh.
any replies appreciated.
I've been running stock JVK for about a month now, and Stock JVB since Saturday, Virginmobile (phone from Optus). No issues here.
Stock jvk with fugu mod, rooted and voodoo 7 sound with camera mods. I turned Hspda off today and since 7am till now 5pm still have 78%(and I use it fairly heavy). Runs well only thing I want next is android lockscreen and I'm happy.
On Virgin.

It took me a good 7 hours, haha all night trying to get GB on mah phone... had all sorts of problems as well.
Eventually, I installed I9000XWJVH, and it seems to be going good.
^^^
Just in time to flash 2.3.4 this evening
Downloading it right now.
Just worried about me having a non-stock kernel... using CWM (I think) with CWM Recovery... (CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS)
Are you flashing with Odin?
It wouldn't be a bad idea to flash the stock firmware first to get the updated bootloaders.
Yeah, I am using Odin.
flash stock jvh again?
Nope...
If you have your filesystem converted to ext4, just convert back to rfs.
If you really want to be sure of a clean flash, flash a 3 file firmware with a 512 pit and re-partition.
ok, well, I have no idea if I have ext4 or not... I don't remember ever seeing or doing anything with that, so, I am assuming I am still on rfs.
I have 3 files and a pit for the JVP. Do I just use those and flash with odin + repartition and that's it?
Don't need to do anything before?
I had stock JVK running for quite a while with no problems but with all the tasty looking ROMs out there I gave up and went for Simply Honey. First was using Darkys which was nice but SH wins me over with its lush blue-look =)
Now running JVO with no issues. Can get 6-8hrs heavy usage out of my phone =)
I know this sounds really blonde, but...
I'm trying to find a way to upgrade my Android OS to 2.3 (from 2.1) - however my phone is locked to Telstra and I'm finding it difficult (with my limited knowledge of Android) to upgrade.
Can someone please help me out? I'd be so grateful!
I found the best Guide to be: [GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000: Detailed guide for n00bs
It isn't too difficult but do read, re-read & go through the steps a few times before committing any changes.
Be prepared though... This flashing thing can get quite addictive as there seems like there is always another ROM that does just a little more than your current ROM & often just a little faster.
Good luck.
Oh - To keep all the grumpy forum members happy, do a quick search before asking a question such as this. You are not the first to ask this and there are many threads that have covered possible answers.
Just Updated to 2.3.3 Unbranded from Darky's Rom.
Had to Downgrade to 2.2 then to 2.3.3 as Odin just kept Failing.
