[TELUS T959D Fascinate]-Running ONECOSMIC'S ICS

[bucknetbucky]

So to install this ROM I would just have to install it as per totallydubbed's instructions? I don't want to flash miui if I don't have to to try this out.

I am sure that will work he always does a great job with tutorials. I did not do it that way as I was on mini already.

OK so here is what I did ...

Started from MIUI 1.11.18

1. Do a nandroid backup

2. download all the files to the SD card. This includes the ROM, Kernel and super user fix

Links:
Kernel:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip
ROM:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1-i9000.zip
Super User:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip

3. Boot to recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and davlik cache

4. Install the Kernel first and reboot now

5. Boot into recovery factory reset and wipe cache and Davlik and Install the ROM then reboot now

6 Boot back to recovery and install the Kernel again with out the wipe

7. If after reboot you do not have root then boot to recovery and flash super user fix

8. reboot and it should be working at least it was for me

It seems to me that you are missing the first flash of the kernel before the ROM. It sets up the file system from what I gather

Note: If needed flash the kernel and rom then kernel again with all the wipes as mentioned above.

I know there are allot of folks having issues getting it to run. Not too sure if it was the way I installed MIUI that might have made the difference.

My battery is charging now so I can calibrate it and see how it goes after that (it drained pretty quick today) lol.

I hope you can get it going cause it truly is awesome

Still not working:

Can not charge with the phone off
Google TTS stops working
Phone will not vibrate for SMS or email when in silent mode
BLN stays on for notifications until the phone is taken out of sleep (can be turned off)
Compass is why off (have not attempted to calibrate yet though)
11 MB left in the system partition (not much but I do not think there will be many changes there)
Video play back is choppy and some will not play

Got to give it a break for tonight. No go man, followed the steps to a tee (twice). Once in CWM from Miui, did a factory reset, and both caches. Installed the same FuguMod kernel you used, selected 'reboot into recovery' which I figured would boot me into the fugumod kernel's CWM but all it does is stay on the fugumod I9000 boot screen. Left it for 15 minutes just to make sure but no go. I'm probably going to try a few other combo installs tomorrow at some point.

Question, what kernel were you using when first booting into CWM to start the install process? I'm using the latest glitch kernel for telus, also coming from Miui 1.11.25.

I'm glad a few of you have it up and running on the T959D, gives me hope

Ill get it eventually.. Obviously missing something here.

regarding the black screen:
- had that too... I let it sit on the black screen for 2-3 minutes and then it went to the boot screen animation (a multi-coloured )...that for a few minutes...then finally booted.

How i got it working:
a) Started on MIUI...booted into clockwork
b) Backup
c) Wipe data / factory reset and cache and dalvik cache
d) Install rom and then kernel
e) Restart
f) Install rom and then kernel
g) Restart and wait very patiently for a little while
h) Once it all works, can reboot into clockwork and install superuser

Good luck! I really think the rom is nearly stable enough for daily use...

-------

Also have the no vibrate on silent... haven't tried the other stuff yet.
Oh and TTS hasn't crashed on this version yet for me...
Astrid glitches a little to a lot.

Thanks man, I've gotten it to a black screen more then a few times, longest I let it sit there was probably 10 - 15 minutes.

Pretty sure I've tried this combination all ready but I will give it another shot tomorrow.

I was running the glitch kernel as well. I wonder if it has to do with the version of mini? I was only on 1.11.18. Also I started from alpha 6 then went to 7 then bata 1. I wish you luck and I am sure you will get it.

went from the latest version of miui.us (forgot the version number) and the latest glitch kernel... the alphas prior to 7 didn't boot for me...but alpha7 and beta1 booted...

so bizarre that yours isn't flashing... using the regular fugu kernel and the I9000 rom (not the I9000B)...

Can any1 please provide info on how to procede from stock 2.3.4 on the telus 959D fascinate?

I onl ymanaged to root it, but seem unable to find a proper procedure to install CWM and THEN the ICS beta.

thanks in advance

 

[chubster7383]

I was able to install Beta1 last night following bucky's instructions and files linked in his post. Did the wipes, installed the kernel first then the rom, rebooted and was greeted with the boot animation. Did not need to install the kernel again or do anything further, root was enabled.

Started from MintBerry 1.11.25 with the Neo18 kernel.

One problem I found was there was no way to get rid of the haptic feedback. Unchecked all sound related options in settings->sound but it was still there when entering text. Writing an email, it would vibrate when I hit a letter. This drove me crazy.
Decided I like Miui better and will wait until a more stable release comes out. This is where the fun started as I did something stupid and messed up the bootloader and the phone was stuck at the Samsung logo. Luckily, I was able to still put it in download mode and flashed Darky's 10.2 RE via ODIN. It was the only rom I could find that wasn't located on a free download site which are all blocked at my work.

I'll run Darky's for a day or so just to try it out.

Well I got ICS running this morning but it's not the ROM from:
[DEV] ICS port for I9000/I9000B - BETA (ICS sources) - work in progress

i installed supposedly the future 'CM9' ROM created by developers from CyanogenMod:
[ROM][ICS][ITL41D] teamhacksung's ICS Port for Galaxy S (BUILD 3)

No issues installing it from MIUI 1.11.25 right from recovery, I was surprised. I must say that ICS is quite the piece of work!

As like usual with the CM7 (Gingerbread based) ROM, the stock kernel they use does not have a working 'Home' and 'Search' button. With CM7 though, all you have to do is flash the Telus Glitch kernel to fix that. Unfortunately there are no custom kernels yet for there CM9 ROM.

I have no problems with WIFI or 3G and it already comes rooted. The installation process is just flashing the one ZIP.
i did end up flashing a new Baseband (I9000UGJK3) and it works perfectly with ICS.

I'll have to play around a little more with this before I report back more info.

I'll be keeping a close eye on both versions of the ICS ROM.

 

[bucknetbucky]

Glad to hear you got one working. Definitely keep us posted.

Lost root

I got beta 1 of FuguMod ICS installed yesterday and the phone portion doesn't work. Baseband Version says Unknown so does Network, Number, IMEI etc.

So I thought I'd get into recovery mode and install a radio, but can't get into recovery. Downloaded ROM Manager, but it keeps getting denied by SuperUser. Updated SuperUser but still can't get Rom Manager to reboot into recovery.

Thought maybe I lost root so tried to root again using SuperOneClick and it looks like it rooted, but still can't get into recovery using Rom Manager.

Any ideas how I can get into recovery to install beta 2 and get the radio working on TELUS Fascinate T959D with ICS 4.0.1?

-thanks

Sounds like you might be starting from stock again if you can not get to recovery. Sorry

Reverted back to DarkyRom 10.2 using Odin. Did factory & wipes. Flashed ICS Kernel & ROM then Kernel & ROM again. But now can't get out of Recovery. Just keeps rebooting into recovery mode. Tried 5 times now and same results. Even tried going to CM7 a couple of times then ICS but can't get out of recovery loop. Any suggestions?

Got out of recovery loop somehow finally, but now stuck at boot animation. It won't get passed it and start the OS. Also can't get into recovery mode without flashing Odin and start from beginning again. Wish there was an easy way to boot recovery on the TELUS Fascinate, but can't find a way

 

[bucknetbucky]

Well just installed bata 2and all buttons are working and kind of digging the smaller icons!

Gonna get everything installed again and see if it gets any better.

For those wondering, I did factory reset, wipe cache and davlik then flashed the kernel. Boot to recovery do all the wipes again and flashed the ROM. Reboot to recovery and flash the kernel again (not sure if I needed to buy just in case.

I was getting a day out of the battery on the previous release so I hope I get that out of this one.

Hey Bucky - that sounds awesome, and have been enjoying your recaps.

Curious - with ICS and the introduction of softkeys - how problematic are the hard keys? Do they add any value or get in the way?

Have to watch totallydubbed's videos to see the screens - started that tonight - looks pretty sweet.

Also saw MIUI 4.0 is in dev now on the 4.0 ICS - but not seeing a lot of difference than maybe guts - will be interesting.

 

[havoksupertwit]

Using these files & everything works nearly perfectly. Bluetooth, external SD, camera (not video cam), 240 DPI, etc. So, quite happy

Just updated to the same ones lol. Going through it now. Need to find maps though.

OK gonna sound really dumb but not sure what you mean by soft keys. Only buttons I have are the ones on the phone. I do recall someone mentioning this swell but I believe they left them out due to the hardware.
