Can you tell us exactly what steps you're using when you use Odin? I noticed the guide you linked to in the OP was a really old sticky. Droidstyle's Guide is the only one that is currently up to date. It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong with Odin, I just want to make sure you have the...

Latest GAPPS I keep coming across the 7/26 Gapps package via Google searches. Is it really the most recent? If not, can anyone link me to the most recent. Thanks.

Am I missing anything? I plan to help my friend root his AT&T Note soon. I've been rooting my Fascinate for quite a while now, but that thing is a tank, almost completely unbrickable. I've been doing a lot of reading (a big thanks to gregsarg and his super everything thread), and I'd just...

I installed this yesterday, and I'm loving it. It looks beautiful. I love all the customization options. I'm 36 hours in, and I'm still at 44% battery. Everything is working perfectly, including MMS both on and off WiFi. I've been on the stock kernel, and everything is so smooth that I...

Does anyone else use MIT (formerly Google's) App Inventor? I've been developing an app for my family business, working on it on and off over the past year. Ever since making the jump from GB to ICS & JB, I haven't been able to get my app to work properly on my phone. I was on AOKP m6 for a...

Well, your phone can't bootloop with the battery out, so I suggest you Odin back to stock using the instructions in Droidstyle's guide. From there, you can do any number of things. Good luck.

I wish I had an immediate answer for you. Just so all the bases are covered, have you exhausted all efforts to establish a connection to your pc? Other users have reported success with the following: Different cable (this is huge) Different USB port on computer Cleaning micro-USB port on...

Odining back to stock takes you back to the standard Verizon Android 2.3 EH03, which was the last official update Verizon released. You could go back further, depending on which files you have handy, but that's the usual choice. If you are on AOKP jelly bean, for example, and you do a data...

Bumped with some long overdue updates and references to Jelly Bean. Added dirty flash, hybrid, and HellyBean.

Wouldn't you just be undoing the work of jt1134? He's put all the critical stuff on the faster chip. Originally Posted by jt1134 "System and data partitions have been SWAPPED. The I500 has 2 internal memory chips. The OneNAND (that Samsung ships for system and other storage) and the eMMC...

Yeah, the guide also covers the correct way to flash custom ROMs, recoveries, and kernels. You'd have to read way back in the forums, but you'd find that the ROM Manager discussion was conclusive. It simply doesn't work for the SCH-1500. The good news is that flashing via CWM and Odin, as...

ROM Manager is a complete waste of time with this phone. It won't work. Droidstyle's Guide is the only way to to go.

Have you read over Droidstyle's Guide yet? It's the noob bible for for Fascinate users. He'll describe how to get into download mode with the battery out. If that fails, you could try a jig. From there, just follow the guide until you're where you want to be.

You could Odin back to stock and start over. If you closely follow Droidstyle's Guide, you shouldn't have any problems. Good luck.

xlory, Thanks for all your hard work. I'm really excited about these. BboyTM got me hooked on inverted apps a few months ago, and now I can hardly stand to look at the original versions. Would it be ok with you if I posted a link to this over in the Fascinate forums? Thanks.

This particular apk will only work with Touchwiz. ColorNote from Google Play is a reasonable substitute. There are several other alternatives, as well.

I've had good battery life ever since first rooting my phone, so I'll share again what I always do. On stock, my battery was good for 10 to 12 hours of light to moderate use. I now regularly go 2 days between charges. You can see my ROM history in my signature, and it has been true across the...

No problem, but all thanks go to Droidstyle. He's the man.

So true. You can read some funny threads about it if you dig a bit. Neh4pres, I think, once had a $100 reward out for anyone who could get it to work. Then, of course, there were the Enyo jokes.

Your problem probably stems from your choice of CWM. Check out Droidstyle's guide in the General section to get you straightened out. With, CWM, the latest isn't always best.

When I first rooted, I was freezing left and right with Titanium. If I didn't recognize something, or if quick Google searches didn't insist on its importance, it got frozen. I'm pretty sure I froze those two, and I never ran into any problems. The other thing to consider is that you could...

See if this works. http://www.mediafire.com/?6xe6m1q1duh1oa4

While all the respect in the world goes to the developers, I'm also impressed by the non-devs with high 'thanks' counts. As a total noob, I couldn't understand 9 out of 10 discussions I read in the development forums, and I rarely understood general discussion topics. It was the mid-level...

Made some updates, modifications, and additions. ---buh bump

I believe the SGS2 was the first from Samsung with MHL compatibility. You can get the large screen experience on the Fascinate, though. You just have to hold it really close to your face.

Well, I look forward to some of your future work, whatever that might be. I don't think I can ever go back to bright, glaring screens after enjoying the DEVIOUS builds for so long.

Nicely done.

The suspense here is killing me. I don't even have this phone. This is just a great story unfolding before my eyes.

My battery life took a hit at first, but I went through my usual regimen of wiping battery stats, totally discharging, and then overcharging while off (charge to full, unplug, plug back in). I did that a couple of times, and I'm back to where I was with Milestone 5....about 2 days of light to...

Just to make sure the bases are covered, have you tried: Different USB slot on laptop? Different cable? Download mode w/battery out? Using a different computer? Determined repeated attempts at rebooting computer, re-downloading and re-installing drivers, reattaching phone, etc., etc. until...

Last time I checked, Droidstyle's Guide had all the files you'd need, including Gapps. Perhaps give it another read.

I don't know how to do exactly what you're asking. There may be a way. As an alternative, though, you could consider getting a micro-sd adaptor. They're quite cheap on Amazon, or you might ask around and find a friend that has one.

And I thought my morning was ruined upon learning the Diablo 3 servers were down again. :-) Thanks for lifting my spirits. This works like a charm.

Reading this thread has made me a bit nostalgic. I've become quite accustomed to the little family of Fascinate owners here, small but dedicated. It now seems very real that the sgsIIIs are packed up and ready to ship. Even our threads are leaving us. I don't post a great deal, but I follow...

Yet again, an absolutely beautiful piece of work. You've lured my out of my DEVIOUS m5 comfort zone. Thanks again. Before anyone asks: Yes, you can flash the Devil kernel over this build if you so desire (I used build .90 without problems).

Added cache, Dalvik, Devil, init.d, Jelly Bean, Linaro

Bump...with minor edits.

If none of the traditional methods will work as noted in Droidstyle's Guide, you could always use a jig. You can pick one up for a few bucks on Amazon.

Basics first: just let us know if you've done all this stuff. Simple reboot. Reboot through recovery with wipe of cache and dalvik. Clear cache and data of any app with which you are using GPS (e.g. Google Maps).

Feel free to hit thanks on the actual glossary as well :D. I'm glad it was of use to you.

Are you referring to Tiny Flashlight + LED? That one works for everyone. If it's not working for you, I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the app. You can put the widget right on the home screen, where it shall stay until the great efpophis works his magic one day.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliments. Having only ever rooted this one phone, though, I really have no idea what HTC/Motorola/Sony/etc. people are doing these days. I do know that if you google "rooting glossary" this will show up, so if it helps non-Fascinate people, all the merrier.

Bump.....with updates and edits.

What you're describing sounds exactly like a sleep if death (SOD). I believe that's what craw was getting at when asking you about OC/UV. Some apps have been associated with SOD, with 'youmail' being the most notorious. You may want to Google some of the apps you're using to see if they're known...

That actually sounds like fun. Please take photos and let us know how it goes. I'm just thinking out loud here, but I bet that guy electricbill might be able to help you out if you get stuck. Good luck.

Not to knock ICS, because I love AOKP, but you could also consider working your way there over time. I had a lot of fun playing with different Touchwiz ROMs like SC3 and TSM Res. You may even find one along the way that you want to stick with for a while. At the very least, you'll learn to...

Yes, the Glitch kernel is already incorporated into the ROM. While I'm here, may I suggest the DEVIOUS build of milestone 5 just a few posts down in the development forum. It is absolutely flawless, and I love the dark google apps. It is glitched AOKP, and it is beautiful. The installation...

Yes, it shouldn't be a problem to skip GB entirely. Like our fearless leader said, any of the OPs will have installation instructions. If you need more detailed instructions, droidstyle's guide is the only way to go for Fascinate users. It has working links to any file you could need.

My phone now seems to do everything I ask of it pretty much instantly. Maybe I'm not using complex enough apps. I can only think of two things that would cause me to upgrade any time soon: -broken screen/other hardware -boredom from lack of new ROMs to flash I did get a bit sad when I read...

If you can get into CWM, you can try doing a cache and dalvik wipe. Did you possibly install a rogue app? If so, depending how your phone is behaving you may be able to uninstall it. If not, you can always Odin back to stock as described in droidstyle's guide. That generally fixes everything.
