well , ( its true ) but I hereby present to you all with

Ultra solid , more buttery than JB ( i am not kidding ) ,

Teamhacksung's ICS Port for Fascinate (BUILD 15) [07/10/12]

I am impressed - Totally clean , mean looking cynogen mod 9 aka ICS port

PART 1 - If you are already on AOKP ics or any other MTD ROM

Here are the files needed [ STORE THEM ALL ON YOUR SD CARD ]

1.. BUILD 15 ROM - (MD5: 75d3b0bd145aff11653192ebd461126f)

2.. Latest GAPPS -

3.. ICS DATA Fix ( required to get the 3G data running , which gets disabled while flashing any ICS ROM on imported I500 mobiles )

4.. Exclusive Devil Kernel - Devil3_1.0.2b-ICS_fascinate_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120723

http://www.mediafire...e6hs3z3chsuoz2e

INSTALLATION :

1.. backup data , backup apps with whatever method you like

2.. Hit power button > select Reboot > Select Recovery > Make a nandroid

3.. Once your nandroid is completed > wipe DATA/factory reset > wipe cache partition > go to advanced > wipe dalvik cacahe

4.. Once done > Flash the ROM > if upon completion of ROM flash your phone itself restarts and goes back to recovery again > dont panic ;) > again wipe all three and flash the Rom again

5.. once Rom flash completes > flash the DEVIL kernel mentioned above > flash the gapps > once them are done> flash the data fix

PROFIT

PART 2 - If you are still in stone age ( ;) kiddin ) with Gingerbread, Froyo , Eclair , or CamaCola or Hamam ;P - then follow this procedure

INSTALLATION -

1 .. Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM ( better safe then sorry - just in case you messup anything )

If you dont know how to make a nandroid backup then ask around the option is there in all custom cwm recoveries

2 .. download all the files on your SD card mentioned in PART 1 of the totorial above

3.. turn off your phone > remove battery > attach the usb cable and put it in download mode ( press vol down and insert the usb cable which is already connected to your PC )

PROFIT again ;)

btw : You cant hold me or RIMWEB responsible, If upon following any of the above steps YOUR PHONE bricks and becomes an expensive paperweight, or ghosts start to haunt you or anything bad happening to you.

This method works in some Samsung models like Epic 4g, Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy Nexus and SIII >> http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1626638

Theoretically it should work on Fascinate too. Try.

Reinstall Samsung drivers on your PC first and see if it solves your issues first.

If not then Odin the eh19 again.

@grebel, I have the froyo stock rom ie ek10 which I personally use to go back to whenever something goes wrong. Please pm me your email address so that I can share it from my Google drive. This will restore your handset to stock Condition

@kkicdma

Hi kartik, I remember that you too had a reliance handset. how did you get the data working on Ics ? I've tried innumerable times to get it to work but have always failed to get data on any aosp aokp roms. I am able to flash only tw roms successfully (with data working)

I've tried all the data fix files from massaint and others too. I have tried apn backup restore too. I doesn't help on reliance handsets.
