Verizon Samsung Fascinate - Beauty With The Brains

Recommended Posts

Ok, flashed CM7.1 on my Fascinate.

Thanks Rajan ji for reminding that CM7.1 is here else I had just downloaded this and forgotten it.

A few minutes experiience, very fast and awesome on Anndroid 2.3.7.

Just like earlier versions of CM Roms, Data will not work on this for Non-Verizon users.

Wait wait wait............. don't get disappointed.

Where there is no way, there is XDA.

After flashing this CM7.1 on my Fascinate I just reminded that some member on XDA had posted solution for using data on CM based ROMs for Non-Verizon Networks.

I had earlier used this patch while using MIUI Rom. I just flashed that patch and thats it, Data started on my Fascinate.

XDA Data Patch for Non Verizon Users

Enjoy.

Just now flashed with CM7 & as mentioned by Tarunbhai, tried flashing with this new_patch_miui_cm7_omfgb_signed.zip for enabling data but could not do the same. After talking to Tarunbhai, understood my mistake. I was entering into recovery mode by pressing VOL UP + VOL DN + Power button. But, as he guided, we have to enter into recovery by pressing power button & select reboot. Then it will ask for normal reboot or recovery. Select recovery & then flash the ZIP to enable data. Data working now...

Thanks Tarunbhai...

No there is nothing more to do.

Just flash CM7.1 and let the device boot once.

Press and hold power button, select reboot recovery.

Flash the Patch, you can use the second patch.

Ok, you will have to back to Stock ROM and first get Data working on that.

GPS locking or accuracy is by and large ROM dependent ( also the safest )

update or upgrade your ROM

Hi everyone!

I currently have a samsung sch-i500 (same as verizon fascinate) which I bought from RELIANCE. It's currently running the stock OS ie android 2.1 eclair. Now I want to update my phone to android 2.2 or 2.3. I have a few queries:

1) can a handset bought from reliance be upgraded to froyo or gingerbread without losing evdo and calls?

2) I've gone through this thread and find almost everyone here has a verizon fascinate.

Can someone help me out with the same by either giving a step by step procedure (currently very confused between all these different roms and different procedures.

Else, if someone could personally help me out...

3) how do i find my min no?

My phone details are as follows Hardware version i 500.04 Firmware version 2.1 update Baseband version s: i500.04 v.dl10 Kernel: 2.6.29 Build no SCH-I500.DL14

Thanks in advance

hi swapnil,

I think you can update by selecting these options...

goto settings > about phone > status. there you can write down your min no.

goto settings > about phone > system updates.

try here .

I tried the same and i dint find any in the status tab and neither is the system update tab visible on reliance handset. I know that the verizon version does have these in its menu. Sadly not present in the reliance version (they dont want to give you updates).

Also, as per the details i have posted above, can u tell me the exact version as baseband says DL10 and build no says DL14

Is MIN no and MEID no same?

Here's the reply i got from XDAforum ....

"" I'm glad you're reading so closely. I've never actually done this exact process myself, so perhaps others will comment, but I believe that you won't even need to install the Superuser zip to accomplish what you want to do in this first step, which is to do a backup of your phone.

With Odin, you can install CWM Recovery, which should allow you do a nandroid backup to your phone's sd card. Once you have that backup and the added confidence it brings, you should then be able to use Odin to flash the EH03 stock ROM.

I'm thinking you may not even require the basics of what droidstyle's guide offers (root access, custom ROMs etc.) It sounds like you'd be happy on an unrooted gingerbread that works. I really wish you'd been able to find other Reliance users doing the same thing. That's my only hangup on this. Having said that, these are the basic steps I'm recommending:

Use Odin to flash the CWM recovery file you downloaded.

Boot the phone into recovery mode, just as droidstyle explains (three fingers).

Navigate to the option to make a backup, and let it finish.

Use options in CWM to wipe data, cache, and dalvik (this will wipe all apps/contacts/text messages from your phone, but it won't affect your sd card).

Power down the phone (you may have to reboot before you can do this).

Go back into download mode and use Odin to flash the stock EH03 ROM.

Reinstall whichever apps you want.

There are others in these forums far more knowledgeable, so perhaps they'll comment or confirm if we're lucky.

I've done a complete return to stock several times, even using the atlas repartioning file, and I've never lost my phone activation or mobile data. I don't have any reason to think you'll need to do anything else to keep your phone working.""

Hi All,

I am not sure what wrong I have done.

My samsung fascinate was frequently getting hanged, was awfully slow of-late and even a game like temple run (1st version) was unplayable. So I decided to factory reset it. I did it from the setting menu on phone. I have previously installed custom rom's but I had settled on GB (stock Gingerbread) which I personally liked.

After the factory reset, Its taking me to the 'Select Language' and then 'Please Send to activate your phone screen'. When I attempt to activate, the IVR tells me that my phone is already activated and that I should be able to use it once I restart the phone.

But after I restart the phone, it again takes me to activation screen,. tried it numerous times.

Please help.

Note: Phone is registered with reliance.

Install Battery Calibration from Play store. It is only work in rooted devices.

Procedure:

Wait for fully discharge your Fascinate. Plugin the charger, when it charged 100% plug out Power off then again plugged in. After 100% plug out restart the phone and again plugged in. When it says 100% don't plug out start the apk Battery Calibration and Hit Calibration button ;)
