OFFICIAL Gingerbread update For Verizon Fascinate i500

http://www.rimweb.in...03/#entry248682

--------------------------------------------------------------------

hey folks !!!

greetings again

well just wanted to update all the fassy users that a OFFICIAL ( leak as of now ) Gingerbread update has come out which has actually been leaked for field testing by verizon itself !!

The release code is EH03

now you would ask there have been other GB releases, well for the fascinate like EC09 ( yeah right the card killa ) EH09 , EI20 - the difference is none of them were originally meant for fascinate, they were all ports made by the good developers at XDA - god bless em !!!

IMPORTANT : PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE note down IMSI / MIN number of your handset before flashing any of these, so that you wont blame me or RIMWEB for any messup out of your own wrong doing.

right back to the topic :

SECTION 1 : Verizon's EH03 in its FULL BLOATED GLORY and all bloody Binged up !!!

here is the full ODIN TAR file of EH03 , it will have to be flashed via ODIN in the PDA section ( dont touch anything else if you are already on any other touchwiz rom )

This file is around 450MB or so : contains all verizon crap BING integration and all the bloat that vzn stuffs in the factory settings ( despite that this ROM runs super smooth )

ODIN TAR FILE : http://www.multiupload.com/4LC6JFCSFD

MD5 : 89045064cf45ccd85f8ad746911b6e28

If you are one of those intune with VZN or samsung about your fassy ( lol who ll take like another year to update to latest android OS,) you can simply flash this RADIO of EH03 which will definitely increase your data speeds appreciably

EH03 RADION only TAR ( use in ODIN )

DOWNLOAD : http://www.mediafire...42rwjk3eal6zpoa

MD5 : 6cf6959d0316f7089fa956d50a387902

The benefits are great as far as the full ROM flash is concerned

1.. this GB release is very snappy to use , no lag like froyo

2.. the maps freezing and often FCs are gone

3.. the signal strength has increased immensely for reliance

4.. the data speeds are awesome now

5.. darn!! its gingerbread : so there are far too many enhancements over froyo

If you have any questions then shoooottttt , i ll try to answer them as much as i can whenever i am free.

SECTION 2 : Tweaked EH03 ROM - THE SUPERCLEAN ( all credits to TSM i have done nothing apart from making this post and copying their release notes and even their own links )

there have been two tweaked and enhanced versions out for the EH03 i know these are quick releases, one is deodexed which is more or less close to stock with full bloat so not worth here and the othger one is SUPERCLEAN 3

we ll be discussing just the superclean

SUPERCLEAN3 - 0.1 version by TSM

features :

*rooted with latest SU and binary (chainsdd)

*deodexed

*zipaligned

*busybox

*reboot options (reboot, download, recovery)

*enhanced touchwiz launcher (gtg4x) with semi transparent background, dock, and option for alpha order of apps in app drawer (fixed default settings for our phone)

*lousy vzw/sammy old touchwiz theme replaced (framework at least) with ei20/eh09 ish theme

*heavily debloated 50mb or so (left my verizon in, and visual voicemail so vm button doesnt acore fc when pressed)

*appwidget picker to group similar widgets (bombuler)

*download crutch added to increase supported file formats for browser downloads

*bing search removed

*browser bing settings removed, home page switched to google, bookmarks removed

*talk2 w/ video replacing stock google talk (havent tested, should work)

*CRT screen off animation enabled

*market apps moved to /data/app and updated or added (if missing from leak) google voice, google maps, youtube

*titanium backup added

*quickoffice replaced with google docs

*setupwizard disabled at boot

*screenshot app removed as i constantly take accidental screenshots and cant stand it

*wifi scan interval moved to 90 seconds

*misc prop edits

*market updated

*launcher *should* be locked into memory, but those edits are always unreliable

*changed secondary text to white from awful aqua

*puzzle/glass lockscreens still left in as many prefer it, will add patch for aosp lockscreen

How to flash the EH03 and subsequently The SUPERCLEAN3 0.1 :

backup your contacts , sms , calllogs settings apps etc using mybackup ROOT ( i hope you all are rooted )

1.. ODIN EH03 tar ( nothing else , just tar file ) -

This is the .tar file here .

http://www.multiupload.com/4LC6JFCSFD

flash with ODIN in PDA section - make sure to just click PDA section only PDA PDA PDA PDA

Before flashing pl confirm that the MD5 is same as : MD5 : 89045064cf45ccd85f8ad746911b6e28

( this will wipe your data , contacts and everything , but i guess you folks know this )

The process will take anywher between 5 to 8 minutes and you might notice the scoller to be frozen : dont touch anything it will finish .

2.. boot up completely

3.. download and store on your SD card The superclean rom the link that i have given above

4..shutdown the phone

5.. odin this recovery ( the same way you odined the EH03 stock )

RED RECOVERY 2.5.1.x : http://www.mediafire.com/?dyww88yhbhj3cgd

md5 : 00E90E790A70E2D66B6CBA6A152DE504

6.. dont boot , press vol up + vol down + power button and you ll go straight to red recovery ( if the phone boots into the android system then you may have to flash the recovery again )

7.. format data > cache > and dalvik ( may be you were still stock on EH03 but wiping will help )

thenfrom the options choose install zip from sd card and give it the path to the SUPERCLEAN 3 0.1

flash it / install it or whatever you call that.

The roms is alreday rooted and added with latest su package and binary

8.. once done exit recovery and restart the phone

9.. the phone will take like 3 to 5 min to boot

after that you can flash the above mentioned add ons to your superclean rom by shutting down and going into recovery

have fun !!

dear joshm

currentluy i have cm7.1 (2.3.7) with cwm/rooted fascinate & having low battery life since upgrading

i have read the topic and i will just list the steps i am planning just correct me if required (the risk is entirely mine)

1st flash the tar file (with full battery) and chk for a day or two for perforamance and battery life issue

get my 1x data working again if possible (will require help here)

if everything is stable for few days go ahead and flash superclean 3.0.3

jasmin

well as CM7 uses a diff file system you need to change the file system with atlas pit

all you have to do is flash EH03 odin tar along with atlas pit together in one go

this will change your files ystem as well as flash the Eh03 GB .

and pl as soon as you are done flashing Eh03 boot the phone

and after that shut it down and flash the recovery that i have mentioned

DONT USE THE CURRENT recovery that you have atm with CM7 ( its specific to CM7 system only )

this is what you have to do

ATLAS PIT 2.2 :

its pretty easy

1.. download ODIN on ur PC

2.. attach data cable with PC

3.. backup all ur data and apps from your current ROM with the help of any app ( if you arte already rooted then use mybackup root from market ) its very easy just install and run and select BACKUP and backup all your apps first and then your data

4..note down your MIN no just in case

5.. switch off phone

6.. remove battery

7.. hold vol down button and insert data cable

8.. a big yellow DOWNLOAD triangle will show on phone screen

9.. double click ODIN and run

10.. you ll see a yellow COM port number flashing in one of the top empty boxes , that means your phone is connected to PC correctly and with ODIN as well

11. now dont touch any other option on ODIN screen just hit PDA button mind it just the PDA button and give path to the EH03 odin TAR file stored on your PC

12.. hit start and leave the PC and phone alone and dont touch anything

the process will take 5 to 10 min , you might feel its stalled somewhere but dont touch anything let it finish

13.. once finished the screen will go blank on the screen and in ODIN you ll see a message of SUCCESS

14.. put battery back and boot ( booting for the first time will take longer )

have fun !!!

[sliver1 102]

[joshm 818]

voice and data will work perfetctly fine after flashing it

dont worry i do this flashing , oding like ten times a day

[rajanmehta 4,056]

Thanks a lot mate....uve made it feel very easy for me now.

You should give joshm some reputation point for such a nice step by step guide he gave you.

It takes time, efforts and most of all willingness to help.

Clicking is the least that should be done in appreciation.

Anyway i have done it on your behalf.

I was wondering when you are gonna drop in mate !!!

I guess the reason may be that you have already moved on from fascinate to some higher config

Thanks a lot for the kindness my mate !!!

god bless
