Aaaaand I'm back to rooted. Lots of work, but it's done. I tried a few things to restore app backups (Titanium restore from ADB backup, Titanium restore from nandroid backup, Helium, Holo Backup) but nothing worked. In the end I had to set everything up again. It's a good reminder to do regular...

I'm happy that it worked for you! :D Me, not so much. Tried TWRP 3.2.3 with no luck. Did you install Magisk from a fastboot boot of TWRP, or did you permanently install TWRP to recovery and then install Magisk from that?

Re-flashed both slots with flash-all, ensuring that I rebooted after setting the slot.... no dice. Backed up, tried flash-all with -w, was really hoping it wouldn't work.... but it did. Looks like I'll be restoring my TWRP backup, backing up apps with Titanium, flash-all with -w, then restoring...

Here's what I did to get both slots: fastboot --set-active=_a flash-all fastboot reboot-bootloader fastboot --set-active=_b flash-all fastboot reboot adb reboot bootloader fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-blueline.img Note the TWRP image is the latest - 3.3.0. I've also tried flashing the...

I'm not sure if it's related to slots or not, actually. I was thinking that it was, but I've now done a flash-all on both slots (one after the other), then tried my TWRP flash of the Magisk installer again. Results? Bootloop. I've also tried flashing Magisk Manager's patched_boot.img to both...

Done. Followed that up with a TWRP flash of Magisk 19.2. Then... bootloop! Arg.

I had a similar thought, but no dice. Tried installing Magisk 19.2, which boot looped just like the latest 19.3. I even went back to 16.7, and though that one didn't boot loop it also didn't show up in the system. Magisk Manager didn't recognize it, anyway. Though I'm loathe to do a full...

Tried that. No success.

Having a similar issue here. I was rooted till the latest OTA happened a few days ago. Trying to re-root in several different ways, but all result in boot loop. Methods I've tried: Extracted boot.img from factory image, patched with Magisk Manager, flashed with fastboot Fastboot boot...

Thanks for this. Anyone know of a way to get it to work with the screen off? It works with the always-on display, but not if that's disabled and the screen is off. Also, I'll warn everyone else not to do what I did on my first attempt. I used Total Commander to copy generic.kl to a non-root...

Look at my last comment in this thread. TL;DR: use a 950U firmware.

I can't say. I only just got the phone so I don't have a battery performance benchmark to compare. All I can say is that scripting with Tasker retains my set value for batt_capacity_max after reboot, and that it still only charges to an indicated 80%.

I put this in a Tasker shell command triggered by a boot profile. Seems to work well.

For those asking about (aboot) the Canadian SM-G950W, I have your maple syrup right here. I've been trying a bunch of different stuff all day but I think I've finally found success. If you use a system.img.ext4 from a Canadian carrier's firmware, you'll end up with repeated and constant...

I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere (excuse me if it has been)... but Dealextreme is now selling USB unbrick jigs for $1.60 shipped. Reviews seem good. I've been running a stock rom since Gingerbread, but I still might grab one of these just because it's so damn cheap. Expect to wait a while...

I'm not sure what the code is, but if you download SGS toolbox from the market it has a shortcut to the GPS menu.

Get Market Enabler from the market, spoof a US provider, and just download Google Music from the market. Works for me.

I'm looking for a flashable gingerbread, not just the kernel.

I tried flashing it from rom manager but the stock recovery wouldn't take the unsigned update.zip.

Can you try it from a different computer?

Thanks for this! By the way, how did you get the kernel? Do you also have the stock rom to flash with odin? Might be useful.

Nope. Don't try it. I got adventurous, and now I have to flash back to stock 2.2 again! :(

Well, look at me not knowing what I'm talking about! Seems you were referencing this: [Telus Only][How-To] Root your Fascinate Gingerbread 2.3.3 T959TLKG2 ...which works! Seems to use the method that I alluded to earlier - using an I9000 kernel to root, then flashing back to a Telus Kernel...

To force download mode, regardless of bootloader, kernel, or rom: remove battery attach USB cable to phone and computer hold VOLUP + VOLDN insert battery Voila! Download mode. I'm pretty sure this works the same way as the jig.

What method is that? Supercurio's Voodoo/stock kernel is a 2.2 Kernel - it shouldn't work with 2.3. Are you sure you're still rooted after applying the 2.3 update? As for a speedmod, voodoo works by changing the filesystem from RFS to EXT4, a faster system. Gingerbread is already running EXT4...

Boot into clockwork recovery (VOLUP+VOLDOWN held while powering on) and there will be a menu for Voodoo with an option to disable. It's probably a good idea to disable it, as everything I've read seems to indicate that new roms with voodoo enable may create problems. As for root - I can't see...

The CF-root kernel link I posted earlier should theoretically work, as long as it's bootable. The kernel applies root, which remains even if another kernel is flashed. If it's bootable with wonky buttons then we could then flash another kernel to fix the button mappings. The problem, of course...

I'm tempted to try CF-root for the i9000s, but given my recent bricking(s) I'm a bit tired of flashing back to 2.2. Anyone else care to try? Though it wouldn't necessarily help with root - do you suppose zacharias.maladroit's Neo kernel would work with stock Gingerbread? Supposedly for CM7, but...

Also, superoneclick can't root this one. Other options? UPDATE: Root instructions here - [Telus Only][How-To] Root your Fascinate Gingerbread 2.3.3 T959TLKG2

Really odd timing for this one, for me personally anyway. I finally gave up waiting yesterday and tried to install CM7 and bricked my phone. Panicked for a while, then finally figured out forcing download mode with VOLUP+VOLDOWN, connected to USB, while inserting the battery! Anyway... it's now...

Thanks for the backup! I'd nearly given up on this thread... The Kernel works fine with Froyo.

Anyone? I'm concerned I'll lose the Voodoo control in Clockwork if I install a different version from Rom manager. I guess I could always just flash it again with Odin if I needed to, but the less flashing the better. Also, does anyone have the stock Kernel backed up to share? I neglected to...

Thank you! After installing this kernel, rom manager doesn't seem to believe that Clockwork is installed. Any problems with doing the clockwork install in rom manager after flashing this kernel?
