[Q] ROOT Cellular South Fascinate

[jwhite2005]

I just got the Fascinate with Cellular South. I would really like to get root access. I rooted my HTC Hero so im not completely new to the rooting process. I have a working ADB. If someone can point me to the right location.

Here is some info on the phone:

Hardware version: i500.04
Model:SCH-I500
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: S:i500.04 K.DJ20
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: SCH-I500.DJ20

rooted my fascinate on saturday, web page isn't letting me post the link but google: xda root fascinate. i used the super one click root about three links down the page. its was the simplest root i found to supposedly work well.

I don't know why z4root wouldn't work. Search the market. It weighed on my buddies OG Droid yesterday and he's a big chicken. The thing was bone stock until then. Hooray for peer pressure!!

who is your service provider? Cellular South got the Fascinate Monday, so you must have a diff carrier if you rooted saturday.

I wanna make sure it will work before I brick it or make it buggy. The phone works great, I just want root so i can install setcpu app and a few other apps.

I said the hell with it and I did the one click root. So far so good...

 

[Jaden5012]

Nice. Just don't do what I did and forget to install cwm by odin. And not by market or rom manager took a few day to figure that one out haha

Yes. The one-click method works on the Cellular South version.

Rooting was no problem, however after flashing CWM via Rom Manager my phone bit the dirt. Got the internal memory 0.00 error.Tried every method I could find, nothing will fix it.

Is CWM a Facinate ROM? From my understanding, the file structures are different between the Showcase (Cellular South) and the Facsinate... also, there is no custom recovery (that I know of) written for the Showcase, so no way to Nandroid backup.

Do you have any lagfixes installed? I got the internal memory error after flashing CWM with Voodoo applied. You'll have to remove the lagfix, possibly return to stock using Odin, then flash CWM via Odin. You should be golden from there on.

If you are using a lagfix, ditch it for jt's StupidFast kernel (11/11 stable) and one his most recent CleanROM or any other of your choice. Just my 2 cents.

EDIT: jbreak may have a point. I was referring to the VZW Fascinate. The stock and CWM Odin files may not be available for the Cell South version.

That could be the case. From what I could find out, the Fascinate and Showcase seemed nearly identical. The Showcase actually comes from Cellular South with Verizon files still in the system folders. However, if the file structures are different that would very much so explain the issue. I tried all the above; removing lagfix, odin, etc. nothing solved it. But I got a new one

The Showcase does have a recovery. Clockwork worked fine, just the internal memory error ****** everything up.

So does anyone have a Cellular South Showcase specific Recovery image?? Odin recovery??? And NO I haven't bricked my phone... just seeing what resources are floating around..

 

[BubbaKush]

i have soft bricked my phone, a showcase specific recovery image is exactly what i need.

sorry for reviving a dead thread

 

[Flip260z]

search for showcase in fascinate dev thread. I have a post there that has the clockwork mod instructions and kernel.
