I feel like this is a pretty big deal for us, or perhaps I am reading this wrong? It looks like last nights big 6.1 update for the Cyanogen mod now supports the Samsung Fascinate! Anyone tried it yet?

If you read a little further down:
Flashing CyanogenMod
NOTE: As of right now CyanogenMod is not available for the Samsung Fascinate. Please check the wiki or the Samsung Galaxy S sub-forum for updates.
So far, only root instructions seem to be there.
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.

That would be great. It sucks that there are so many people out there eager to help, but no way to *quickly* get the skills it takes to help? I wish it was as easy as watching a youtube video on what to do - I know there are some, but it seems like something's missing?

It also say's "NOTE: ClockworkMod Recovery is currently not available for the Samsung Fascinate. Please check the wiki or follow clockwordmod on Twitter for updates.", but i am running 2.5.1.0 via rom manager as we speak? Very intersting...
...
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.

Is there a way to currently root your sgs2 all from your phone? (Without a PC)
For example; Rooting +CWM>install kernel+ new rom/baseband
phone for starting base kk6/2.3.6
Just wondering. I wanted to make a powerpoint about how to root android phones, but I think each phone is so specific that a general method may not be applicable?
Also that most phones need to be flashed via PC for starters? (yes/no?)
I figured generally speaking:
1: Look for your phones model number, android version and baseband,
2: download and flash correct rom (renaming the file if necesary)
3: with phone rooted install ??? (rom/kernel/new bb/cwm or whatever)
I don't know if I can do this as a "general" powerpoint for android, but I can do it specifically for SGS2; however, not everyone has an SGS2
ideas?

Please read the OP. How is rom manager working with ICS relevant to this if he's starting from KK6 GB?
Maybe mobile Odin can work but idk if you can use that without root already on the phone. I had to root mind from download mode using a pc with Odin.
Seems like a cool idea to explore.

When I use rom manager to nandroid it has always frozen upon turning off. Many other serious fails too. I only use it to rename my backups done from recovery mode. Otherwise it's just wasting space on my phone

Mobile Odin requires root.
AFAIK there's no current way to root an SGS2 without a PC. I found SuperOneClick to work just fine, doesn't require you to flash using Odin, but it does take some patience and a few tries, and a PC of course.
I could be wrong of course, please correct me if I am.
I read you can run android sdk/adb from usb stick. Just need the "final" folders installed. Any tips?
There's a method to root + install new kernel from adb cmds

I never do backups unless fresh power off then booting recovery , no rom manager ..
i just was suggesting possibly with it installed cwm can install without a pc.
the only caveat was if root access required to install it as I don't remember and can't think of any way rooting is possible without a pc EXCEPT installing a pre-rooted rom
*which is not possible on sgs2 with standard sammy recovery correct

uhhhh....
COMPLETELY different phones, COMPLETELY different hardware. NO....you cannot use rom manager for the i777 unless you are working solely with AOSP builds....in which case you would ALREADY have a CWM kernel
this has been the case on all samsung galaxy s line except the skyrocket/t989. there is no doubt that it simply DOESNT work from stock. its not speculation, its fact.
things are different over here dude. the i777 is pretty much nothing like the i727 aside from sharing a name and touchwiz....

Hello -
I have browsed through countless threads and obviously overlooking something for a successful root.
I was able to root using option #3 in the following thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894. All went without issue and I see the SuperUser application on the phone.
However, I cannot get into Clockwork. Holding the power buttons and power button only takes me in the typical Android reset menu.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
You don't have rom manager installed hopefully. If not, you simply power your phone off , hold down volume up down and power until it reboots KEEP holding it it may flash the boot logo more than once then it should take you into clock work mod recovery. Also keep in mind you need a custom kernel to have clockwork mod recovery installed, as our kernels have recovery built in.

Thanks for the assistance. No --- I do not have ROM Manager installed. The button sequence only takes me into the typical Android menu that has four options. Going from memory: Reboot, apply update.zip, factory reset, clear cache. It's not the Clockwork menu...I'm familiar with it.
I guess that means that the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894 only roots the phone and I need to apply a custom kernel. If so, do I have to find a custom kernel and apply through ODIN since I cannot flash through Clockwork? If so, can you give me a link on how to do this?
Thanks.

You just installed the stock kernel with stock 3e recovery. You now need to install a custom kernel. Go to this thread, which is the full directions for rooting and installing a ClockworkMod Recovery enabled kernel.
Also since you're rooted, you can flash kernels with mobile Odin if ya want, it's on the Android market. Is free to flash roms gotta pay for it to flash kernels and stuff but it's well worth it in my opinion.

You can't emulate your device inside a computer as far as I know. Best thing to do would be just to read add much as you can and familiarize yourself with the process. What phone do you have ?

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.
