[Q] Flashing a ROM

[Shakes The AssClown]

Hey Guys,

I have the Samsung Fascinate (verizon). I rooted the phone using the SuperOneClick method and it worked fine. I have Superuser in my apps area. I went into Market and downloaded ROM Manager and then did the Flash Recovery and chose Fascinate. Here is where I get a little confused. I see ROMs on here like Super Clean DL09. I have DL09 already and I just want to flash the ROM but then I see things that you need to flash the radio and kernel with ODIN. I have gone through the stickies but I am a little leary at this point. Any detailed step by step on how to do the radio and kernel and then ROM...or can I just flash the ROM and be fine? Any clarification would be great.

You need to flash ClockworkMod through Odin, and then install Clockworkmod through Rom Manager. After all of that, then you can flash Roms through Rom Manager or you manually boot into Clockworkmod recovery and install that way. You don't flash kernels or roms through odin. You flash through clockworkmod. You don't need to worry about the radio as you already have the correct one unless you are planning on trying Dj05 roms/kernels in which case you would need to flash a Dj05 modem.

Keep reading through threads. There's plenty of directions redgarding flashing CWM. Before you start flashing away, make sure you also read up on what to do if you mess up your phone. It would be wise of you to both make a nandroid backup through CWM and to download a complete stock image of dl09 so you can restore in the event you screw up your phone. Just do some more reading so you are prepared.

SOTK,

Here is a link for the The Unlockr. This is where I got the information from and so far it seems to be correct. You said i have to flash clockwork through Odin...they don't mention it there. Not undermining...just trying to make sense of everything. I am going to do a backup (thanks for the reminder). I was just unsure about the radio and kernel stuff. Let me know what you think about this info here at the link

You can try and do a back up all you want but until you flash clock work mod via odin you will not have any success. As he stated (or she), you do not need to flash the radio as long as you stay on dl09 roms only. Adrynalyne has provided many kernels for us dl09 users in the development section of our phone.

EDIT: follow this link to a TEE and you'll be fine

Interesting site. I prefer xda and android central. The site you gave me didn't seem to be fascinate specific which makes me uncomfortable. There is much better information here and at android central.

Yes, they didn't mention flashing CWM through odin which is wrong. You must do that before you can start flashing roms (unless there is some super new procedure I know nothing about which is unlikely or would have read about it here).

Powell730 and SOTK,

I flashed Clockwork using ODIN...everything went great. Afterwards I did a cold start and held the vol buttons while hitting the power...came right up for me. I performed a backup right away. Just wanted to thank you all again for the clarifications and help. One thing I noticed....since I did this now my soft keys no longer do haptic feedback on them. I checked the settings and it's enabled but still don't feel anything when I hit them.

Awesome! Glad you got it figured out. Have fun flashing Roms. It's addicting!

Once you flash a DL09 kernel your haptic will come back.

What he said.. When you flashed cwm it installed a di01 kernel on your phone, you'll need to flash a dl09 kernel and you'll get your haptic feedback back.
