Clockwork Mod Recovery
I am confused?? I follwed the instruction and d/l Rom Manager and flashed recovery. I am able to enter into clockwork mod recovery just fine, I have made several Nandroids using this. ??? Am I misreading this post??

No, you are not. The issue is that Clockwork can't read (and therefore wipe or backup) the ext4 partition that voodoo puts our data in. It might not be able to read RFS as well, I am not sure.

I doubt that is the case, but I as well do not fully understand what Jesus here is trying to say, I will leave it up to him for further explanation.
As a side note, I would be thrilled if they released Cyanogen for the Fascinate, that would be fantastic.
The issue is that Cyanogen is based off 2.2 (Froyo) and the Fascinate does not have a 2.2 kernel yet.
I was on their wiki last night and almost made the same mistake until I read that part. I was all excited and was thinking, "How did no one see this"
then I punched myself in the face
Whoa -
As near as I can count, you guys are talking about three different things:
1) Clockwork Recovery is definitely available for the Fascinate, and has been for a while.
2) Clockwork Recovery and Cyanogenmod are different things.
3) The issue with Clockwork Recovery not reading Nandroid backups ONLY applies if Voodoo is installed and enabled. Supplysidejesus covered this correctly.
Martian21 got it right in that Cyanogenmod 6.* is based on Android 2.2, so we won't be seeing it until Samsung pushes a 2.2 update.
The good news is that Koush has expressed a willingness to work on the CM port when there is some Froyo source to work from.
Good things will come in time!

I don't think I would get too excited on that one..
Being a former Droid Inc user, I would personally rather get another CM guy on it.
Koush does SO MUCH for the community that I think he's spread too thin to give this device the full attention that it will need. I am not knocking him, he's awesome and done a ton. With his new company he works for and all the rom manager items and things for clockwork recoveries, I just don't see him working on this one.
what would be great is if a team of devs worked on the CM part when the time comes instead of a one man show.

Recovery doesn't require 2.2.
I don't know anything about developing but I just read on wesgarner's twitter that the source for the galaxy s CM6 is now available, does that mean anything to us fascinate users?

Not sure how else to explain it, but I will try.
By default, Samsung places the /data/ partition of the phone in a file system called RFS. It is slow and inefficient, so the guys over at the Voodoo project created the lagfix which converts the partition to ext4, which is a MUCH faster file system, and makes accessing and using our apps much more efficient.
The only problem with this and Clockwork Recovery is that Clockwork does not have the capability to READ the ext4 partition that the Voodoo lagfix creates. So, when you do a nandroid with Clockwork, it will backup everything it is supposed to backup EXCEPT the ext4 data partition. That is the issue we have with Clockwork. Until Koush adds support for ext4, we are kind of dead in the water for a complete nandroid backup.
That's all I was saying.
Like I said, I'm also not sure if Clockwork can read the default RFS partition - someone would have to confirm or dis-confirm that for me.
Wish I was knew more. I have a lot of the infrastructure info down, I think, just no good with code and programming.
Bleh.
Clockwork can backup the /data partition on a stock Galaxy S. That is why you have to diable Voodoo in order to do a full Nandroid then you can re-enable it.
As was stated earlier Koush has said that he will port CM6+ to the Fasinate once 2.2 source is availalble. to try to work from 2.1, while possible, would be a wasted effort with 2.2 so close. All Koush needs to do is lay the foundation for CM6, there are dozens of other talented devs who can take that work and build on it. Don't fear - CM6 will come and will be actively suported by many devs. I'd be willing to bet that once Voodoo is officially released for the Fascinate Koush will add support in ClockworkMod recovery.

I never odin back and have never had issues. You can just flash over it. If there are a lot of bugs you can flash or odin back to stock and then flash the new Rom. Just be sure to disable voodoo if you go back to stock. Also, make sure any time you flash a new Rom to let it sit for 10 min then reboot to eliminate bugs and smooth it out. Hope this helps.

+1 except for the never Odin back part. Not that DCrozier28 is wrong but I always do it. The developers will usually tell you if it's necessary or not. For the most part dev to dev is pretty safe but for instance V5 was written purely based on KA5 so it might have some bugs flashing over V3 which was designed before KA5 was released.
To some Odin is an unnecessary step to me it's more peace of mind and an extra 5 minutes.
I have also found I have WAY more success to on the letting the ROM sit after 1st boot then reboot. Some roms and phones don't immediately load and situate everything, a good 10-15 minutes then reboot ensures everything is where it needs to be before you start loading stuff back up.
I had this same question, glad I found this post.
Also whats the best way to backup sms? I am just assuming use titanium and then restore once the new rom is there?
One thing I missed about my Touch Pro 2 was microsoft my phone. It was a easy backup and sync. I am still fairly new to android but there has got to be something similar.

Like post above it could be Rom specific. Some debate may say to odin to stock but they will probably list it. I have flashed different roms over another with out ever odin to stock and never had an issue. Or at least issues that really bothered. Seems like its all about personal experience and opinion/preference.

It's been stated it's a matter of personal preference and opinion unless the developer states otherwise. I personally don't mind taking 5 extra minutes to do the to make sure everything is wiped. The above was just one of hundreds of reasons, I can pick another. I have also PERSONALLY flashed ROM over ROM and had issues. If you have not then you are the almighty among us and I worship thee and will build a golden shrine in your honor.
Every single ROM posted has a disclaimer about it messing up your phone. So in allll due respect to the truly talented developers; these ROM are consistently not perfect ports of official releases and cannot be confirmed as a perfect flash overs once they hit the masses.
My SUGGESTION to a nooby(no disrespect just a fact) person that wold even ask this question is to YES Odin back and start fresh. "Why?" because it will keep the forum cleaner since there will be less room for error and extra, "I flashed V5 over V3 and now I am in a boot loop" or "is my phone screwed???" threads...

every rom has a disclaimer so if you mess up your phone you realize it's not their fault (i.e. you probably did something wrong). it's not because they think their roms are going to break people's phones. the exception being oc kernels that explicitly say (and is obviously typically ignored) not all phones can handle the oc.
you can enjoy wasting your time using odin, but just because you probably messed something up flashing between roms, doesn't mean everyone should follow your silly odin ritual. as you have pretty much summed up, you have no real reason or evidence why someone should odin between roms.
again, all vibrant roms wipe, so odin 'back to stock' will do nothing for you. if someone can't be bothered to read the instructions on flashing a rom (i.e. disable all lagfixes), then they either shouldn't be flashing their phone, or may actually learn from their mistake.

Theres nothing wrong with going odin to stock re-root then flash a rom. It may be a comfort level with some people. TO EACH HIS OWN! Don't be butthurt because someone doesnt do it YOUR way.
Thanks to Adrynalyn and his mystery source, we now have a new Froyo drop: EC01. No more bastardized hybrids, this is a pure EC01 rom, Deodexed, Debinged, and given the Blackhole overhaul.
Features:
Includes the latest EC01 mods by Sbrissen (No Full Batt popup, Reboot options, Clock Options, Acc Batt., 6 Lockscreens, Music controls, AOSP Phone answer)
Lockscreen is now changed through the "LockScreen Settings" application.
Standalone version includes Gallery, Music Player, Video Player, Browser, Calendar, Calculator, etc.
At this point I don't believe there will be any more Rom Manager releases, but I will be working on the ACS release as soon as I can find some time.
This is a Clockworkmod 2.x (green or red) flash, if you have Clockworkmod 3.x installed (orange) check out this link for an odin file to restore Red Cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=556634&d=1301538947
Still having some problems with the neverending bootloop if you wipe /data so DON'T! If you're coming from stock or Superclean, or an older Blackhole rom there is no need. If you're coming from AOSP you should be fine too. If you're coming from Kaosinate or MIUI then you'll probably need to flash or odin back to stock before flashing this, but I haven't tested. After this rom is flashed do not wipe /data.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Now that all that's out of the way, enjoy the release of Blackhole 4.4!

I think getting Froyo was a big step because it was sooooo much different than 2.1. Difference between 2.2 and higher arent as huge, and 2.2+ is based on 2.2, so chances are we'll get there someday, with or without the "official" label.

Like chrisexv6 says, Official Gingerbread from Samsung? I doubt it. That being said if there ever is a Gingerbread Rom, official or not, based on the Touchwiz Framework I'll update Blackhole to it, However I have no plans to make a CM7 version, or an AOSP version, simply because I'm starting to have trouble finding time to work on things, and I don't want the current project to suffer like it did when I spent all my time trying to get a vibrant version working. I'm sticking with stock Rom Modification for the Fascinate.
However, Gingerbread Roms based on AOSP or CM will be available and stable because of the work of great devs like Kaos, JT, Adrynalyn, and others.

I am noticing that my signal strength is still as low as it would be with t-mobile as my service provider. Anyone know why these roms have worse antenna than the stock eb01 when we are using the same radio? I am a driver and my phone is dropping a lot of calls where it used to have full signal (like in my house). If anyone can help me fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Note:do not tell me to dial *228, I am not a noob.

If you have the red voodoo recovery as well as the rom manager 3.0 (orange) then you can download the addons for this from rom manager then press cancel when it prompts you for the install. Manually reboot into the red recovery and select install .zip from sd card/choose .zip/clockworkmod/androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/fascinate/ then find the corresponding downloaded file such as boot animation or app or theme and manually flash each, one at a time.
note: you do not need to reboot and start over after flashing each individual file. Flash all the files you want then reboot.

There seems to be a bit of confusion on what recovery we should be using. Most threads indicate CWM 3.x
This post is often referenced as the most current recovery for our needs:

It can be seen being referenced here:

Then there is this:

I have not seen many references to CWM 4.x recovery. Is this for gingerbread roms?
Please understand I am not trying to "shake the bees nest" or anything. I just want to make sure we are doing things correctly. I have been doing some research since the above post was made and have come up with conflicting resulsts, looking for clarification. Thanks.

when I downloaded this, it was recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.8-fascinate, so what is 4.x about it? My recovery is the yellow 3.2.0.0 - any available upgrade?
i dunno, it said "CWM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v4.0.0.1 " in the description. Mine is yellow also, works for all the roms I've tried.

So I guess we can assume that 4.x is fully backwards compatible with older roms?
I just don't understand how we could be snipped at for not using CMR 4.x when it is not even on his own recovery page (or widely referenced anywhere else).
Don't half tell us something then not back up your claims. It seems this stupid GB leak did nothing but make people crabby! (from day one)
I'm on CM7 with CWM4. I would think CWM3 is fine with TW roms if it still flashes everything and last I know it did. If CWM4 was something you should have there would probably be posts for it in the dev section.

Ummm... that's my point. Did you follow the links in the OP? especially the last one. That is where the confusion came from.

I guess I'd have to look into it but I didn't know of any major differences such as those between CWM2 and 3. So I don't know why it would be a huge deal to use CWM3 if I figure anything out I'll post.
CWM 3.0 may be responsible (but probably isn't) for the sd cards being borked by some of those who've flashed the EC09 GB leak or the early ROMs based on it. That might be why times_infinity made his dinosaur post. That said, it's more likely that the SD card issue is strictly an EC09 issue having nothing to do with which recovery you use. I suggest going on IRC to find your answers (I think either #samsungfascinate or #teamsbrissenmod or maybe #tsm).

The idiot needs help (that's me). Does anything need to be done to the files after download? I assume you can't just flash the .zip, it couldn't be that simple.
ok so here is my problem. i have been flashing roms on this phone for well over a year and this whoe cm7 thing makes no sense and not to mention everything is very vague.. i need clarification on a few things.
when i click the cm7 official thread and read the dl instructions it jsut says odin to stock and flash basically. Well last night i did that and and emmc doesnt mount or something... i dont know exactly except that i couldnt download all the google apps for failure of memory????/ and if i click music and pictures it doesnt show up but shows up fine when i go into files and play directly from emmc files.
so whats going on with that and did i mess somethign up?
second the cm7 direcrions for install or drastically different tahn than the wiki cm7 full update guide which tells me to be on uvkb5 firmware and instill overstock kernal and then do a bunch of stuff to get cm7 where as the official link here jsut says flash it ?
next if i have to full update guide using uvkb5... well i have got it rooted but its still 3e recovery... and i have yet to find a solid answer on how to get around that...
jsut basically i need clarification... THERE IS WAY TO MUCH UP IN THE AIR WITH THIS CM7...... is it really that damn complex to put on my phone?
u know what actualyl ill jsut update to miui since there is actually a freaking simpicated guide a few posts down
** this needs to be done with cm 7

Do you happen to be talking about my guide (which is a few posts down currently)? If so I'll be glad to help you with any steps on my guide, using the rom, or customizing MIUI to best suit your needs.
Furthermore, MIUI is a great rom and has brought life back into my Vibrant! MIUI is easily customizable, much more then CM7. And there are hundreds of themes for the custom firmware popping up everyday so I'm sure you'll be satisfied.
MIUI IS cm7.
Lol flashing cm7 is easy, just follow the xda thread guide... if your emmc is acting wierd, its probably because you have gb bootloaders whivh are not completely compatible with cm7.. if im right, youll have the same problem with miui... thats the best i can do

Hey guys and gals (although I suspect mostly guys =|)
I have become a noob. A few years ago I was fully into this with flashing and modding scene with the Huawei ideos 8150 phones, done as a service on a local auction website, mostly as many found they were too slow.
After doing this for about 6 months I dropped it as I went into study, my pc has been formatted numerous times since and I can't for the life of me remember what the Android software is called that directly interacts with the linux subsystem on the phone/device.
Why? I now have a T-mobile Galaxy S Vibrant (SGH-T959) and i've been trying to get CyanogenMod 10.0 onto it.
I have rooted the phone thru SuperOneClick via pc (as Z4root would crash).
I have installed OCLF v2
Android system is curently Froyo 2.2 (krnl 2.6.32.9)
I am able to successfully flash the clockwork mod recovery but please see attachment View attachment 1636948
The phone automatically re-installs the default recovery apk's when the recovery menu is launched. Why?
I have taken a look at alternatives like heimdall and odin to flash the ROM but i'm not at all confident because I've never had a ROM fail to flash, so I'm in-experienced at recovery
I'd really appreciate your help on this - I've done research into why this might be happening, but those cases seemed to be unique down to other factors..
I am not familiar with OCLF v2???
Here is a guide with files etc. The issue you are having is because of froyo more specifically android recovery 3(e). The easiest thing to do IMO is Odin back to stock, that takes care of recovery issue, root again then use the update.zip from this guide.

Hey
OneClickLagFix v2 makes an external ext3 directory for swapfiles and prog access or somehting, it's pretty amazing and it sped up I/O via Quadrant by 1600 points making ythe phone so fast it can't complete the boot animation because it's already loaded
Thanks for that guide too, Imma work thru that one shortly
1) You mean the kernel?
2) Recovery doesn't use apks. It's a binary program that runs without the OS. Apks are used within the Android OS, for example being either apps or components like the status bar.
Visit the CyanogenMod wiki for a full update guide for the Vibrant (there's a link in the nightly thread under "from Samsung stock")

Oh wow, a reply form the mod-god himself . I am honored!
I ended up following a poorly written guide to mod my Vibrant from Android 2.3 to JFD using ODIN. Flashed update.zip which seemed to give me a temporary CWM recovery, next reboot it was back on stock. Tried again and the CWM recovery stuck.
Phone is currently running CyangogenMod 10.1 with gapps-jb-20121212-signed as is running amazingly well.
I realize that I've flashed a nightly build of 10.1 and using it as a daily driver was not recommended, but so far it's flawless with the expcetion that I haven't yet tested GPS and I haven't found how to get Google's own navigation software back. I'm a computer tech who often visits customers homes, so fairly important that it works

Most of the CM work comes from the Galaxy S-line work done by pawitp, and the work done by others in the CyanogenMod team and Gerrit.
You can get Maps from the Play Store.

Is there anything this forum doesn't have now ??
Few years ago when I was a frequent, there certainly wasn't this much info in one place - Will let you know how I get on - Althought I am in New Zealand so i'm wondering if this will even work.
