I am trying to root my Fascinate sch-1500 but when I download the cwm 4.0 it shows up as a .bin file and Odin is looking for a .tar file. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? Thanks.
Are you using Droidstyle's guide to find the links?

Yes, I actually tried it from another location as well with the same results.

I think I have a copy of it hosted somewhere. It may be in a thread under the general forum. There's a guide on how to install Gummy ICS and I think I hosted my own copy of CWM 4 there. If not, look for some other guides under the General forum

Thanks. I will look around but it just seems odd that a .tar would download as a .bin. I am new at this so I may just need to stay with what I have because I don't want to screw up my phone.
Edit: No luck finding a solution to my problem. No matter what I do the cwm file downloads in the .rar format and when I extract it goes to recovery.bin. I can't figure it out so at this point I am stuck and no one else seems to have ever had this problem. I keep thinking I am doing something wrong but I download files all of the time and I cannot imagine what I am doing to mess this up.

This is where i got the steps to root my note with ICS. Worked for me.

If you're on ICS all you have to do is download the superuser.zip from their site and flash through CWM.

Help yourself and learn how to search and read threads. All of the information you need is laid out very simply if you look for it more than 2 seconds. Seriously, why should people help you do something when it would take them more time to explain it than for you to search and learn it very simply yourself?
Asking for help is for when you run into problems that occur outside of following the simple instructions outlined in the various threads related to rooting and ROMing.

Just a quick question about the method that is described above:
Whose work does it come from? Does anyone know whose CWM fix are we flashing through ODIN?

Download this file: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Use this CWM: http://thinkleet.de/cwm/cwm-touch-i717-120409.tar.md5
That is an Odin tar you flash as pda.

the superuser file download link is busted, my friend.
Thanks for posting those, but my REAL question was whether these are the same ones that are hosted on the rootgalaxynote.com website at this link:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
Does anyone know where his files came from? How come there are no citation credits?
Here is the mirror for the super user zip:

It depends on which method you want to run. You can use the rootzwiki leak which is a tar file used in Odin. Or you can use dagr8's CWM flashable zip.
Let me know which one you want to use and I'll give you further directions. (Odin method would be easier for newbs)

If you know how to use CWM I'd recommend using that one. I believe if you flash the rootzwiki one you will lose root and CWM.

I have done a nandroid and when you say flash i guess you mean load the exe through odin, if so it comes back as failed all the time, do i have to try a diff com or something.

I would suggest maybe starting with the collective First flight ics it just has fewer steps at this point. What you want to do is download the rom to your sd card and follow the instructions on wiping.
If you need more help feel free to pm me.

1. Back Up your Stuff.
2. Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
4. Flash .zip in recovery
5. Allow full first boot, reboot
6. Sign in to Market to add account.

Hi again coffinfeeder could you let me know what is using all my ram , is there something im not suppose to running.
So, I am like many of the other noobs in here who tried to install TWRP through goomanager. I realize that this is not possible, and am paying for my actions. I have read on many threads like this one that by flashing the stock ME7 recovery onto the phone through odin I can get my phone up and running again. Only issue is that I cannot manage to find the stock recovery for ME7 to save my own life (or the life of my phone coincidentally). Could anyone help me by posting a link to the download? I certainly don't mind being marked an idiot if it helps me out or other people who do the same exact thing.
Thanks in advance guys.
Wait, are you on mdk or me7?

I am on ME7
Edit: I have looked up and down XDA for an ME7 stock recovery but I still can't find it. I have found multiple threads alluding to such a thing on the dev forum, however I still can't find it

There is a download link.
Flash using Odin.

Thank you very much. Once again, to flash it, just open odin, click PDA (after connecting the device), select the downloaded file, then click start?

Hi, I think this is the right forum for this, but anyway I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a download for the sdm.apk. I deleted it a while ago in a panic that my phone would update without my say. It was stupid but I would like to update and I can't find the apk anywhere

Flash in ODIN the exact same firmware you have with no-Wipe firmware.
I don't have the link, search is your friend.
