Update Verizon Fascinate i500 to Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean

Recommended Posts

Data fix is to fix the loss of data that happens when you flash any custom ICS build on fascinate.

For data to work your evdo must be activated from reliance back end and then your handset should be provisioned for evdo services.

Its just not that simple.

To all the users of samsung fascinate who bought the phone from Reliance and were stuck with stock setup because 1x/3g data didn't work on custom roms , I found a solution for you. I've been asking around many forums but could not get any answers. But djp952 from xda helped me out. Thanks to him, I'm now on the latest android version 4.2.1.

Pm me if anyone is interested . I'll be happy to help.

Sure I would. Am just waiting to login from a pc. I usually check out posts on rimweb on my phone itself.

Edit:

Hi Everyone!!

The following settings are applicable for All the people (if any) who have bought a Samsung Fascinate (SCH-I500) from Reliance and are currently stuck with stock rom setup (eclair or froyo). As you know, 1x/3g data did not work on Custom roms (either touchwiz or mtd based). DJP952 from XDA (geewiz Rom) has helped me out with the following procedure which will enable you to have the latest Rom of your choice.

Things you will need:

1) The Apns-conf.xml & cdma-carriers.xml file from your existing froyo or eclair rom

2) Yaffs explorer or similar app which allows you to edit your build.prop file

3) Custom Rom of your choice.

Procedure

1) Copy the apns-conf.xml file and cdma-carriers.xml file from the following path /system/etc using yaffs explorer app to your sd card

2) Follow the procedure given by the Rom developer to flash a new custom Rom (MTD or Touchwiz) and subsequently any gapps and other apps like yaffs explorer.

3) After you successfully boot your phone and make sure everything is working fine do the following to enable 1x/3g data on your phone

4) Switch to Airplane mode

5) Copy the apns-conf & cdma-carriers files to the same folder ie /system/etc of new rom. Make sure to set properties as rw-r--r-- for both files.

5) Next you will need to Modify the build.prop with these settings:


ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=40400 (original no will be something like 310012 etc)
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Reliance (is usually verizon)
net.cdma.pppd.user=user net ( is usually user[space]verizon)
net.cdma.pppd.password=password net

Remember that if you do not find any of these settings in build.prop file you can create new entry. Type just the settoings in BOLD . No extra spaces.

Thats it. Just reboot and your phone will now connect to 1x/3g network.

Cheers

Yupp indeed, have you installed the red Cwm recovery, coz without custom recovery you can't flash anything.

The link is there in this thread at first page, flash it via Odin and then proceed.

There's a forum dedicated to fassy on xda. You will find all details there. The latest is cm 11 ie kitkat. I'm running it since few days and is much better than any JB rom.
