[q] sgh-t959p roms

I'm sure this is a question which a lot of lurkers wants to know.
There are a lot of custom roms/mods out now in the development section, but will they work with the SGH-T959P?
I've done searches on this forum and there are no posts that has a solution or answer.

He has the Fascinate 4G that is on Telus from Canada. It's different from the first Fascinate. Which there is no section on xda yet. I think the U.S. version is SCH-1500 and the Telus Fascinate is SGH-T959D. Both are different from what he has.
Please don't try to flash anything in the regular Fascinate section of XDA. You may brick your phone.

Yes, to reaffirm that I have the galaxy s2 from Telus in Canada.
So there isn't much support for this phone right now correct? And do you think support is coming soon?

So then you have a SGH-I9100? Cuz the model number you gave earlier is for the Fascinate 4G.

if you guys can get me the STOCK build number I can see if I can get you what you need.
ours looks like UVKD1
I need something that looks like that. or just send me the build.prop from a working phone.

That sounds promising. Obviously I don't have a working phone... but I do have a set of clockwordmod backups (.android_secure.img, cache.img, data.img, system.img) Would that work somehow?

Hi, I have SGH-T959P phone, where I can upload/send you build.prop?

Thanks for offering to help! I sent you a PM.

day number 6 without my android.

I have the Fascinate 4G from telus too and hope that someone can work on some roms hope this helps
Baseband version: T959PTLKD2
Build number: FROYO.PTLKD2

Solved my problem btw... Read my little story here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171818
Now I wait for the kindness of others who may build some faster better roms for our phones. I can send the factory dumps to anyone who might be interested.

[Q] samsung galaxy sII virgin mobile wrong kernal! heI i

so i recently read a thread on howardforums on now to root virgin mobile's samsung galaxy sII. i just got one for christmas and wanted to try it out. apparently i used the wrong kernal when flashing it over to my phone using odin as they specified. so when it was done i attempted to turn the phone on and all i got was the samsung galaxy sII logo and a yellow triangle. i have tried every way i know possible to get this off of my phone. i even went as far as to research repairing this problem using the siyah kernal. i can longer start my phone i can however get into download mode and recovery mode. i have tried to do a factory reset over ten times but it doesnt work. the only other thing i can think of is to flash the original stock firmware over to the phone and hope for the best. does anyone A: know where i could get the original firmware for the phone or B: have any better suggestions on how to fix this issue. i would greatly appreciate is as it was a gift from my mom and i dont have insurance on the line and even if i did. they wouldnt take it back because they would find out that i rooted it. and i cannot afford to go out and buy a new one any time soon. once again any help is much appreciated please get back to me ASAP!! i've learned my lesson and if i can get back to factory settings i am not going to root this phone ever again!!!

Yes, wiping and flashing the stock ROM is what you need to do.
To find it, try going to your device's forum (and/or searching) - and make sure it's for the correct carrier.
Mistakes happen, it's okay. If you'd still like root access, just go slowly and re-read everything a couple of times before putting it to practice.
Edit : Also, take a look into how to make back-ups of your phone - that way you can try things and not have to worry about losing everything and having to start over.

Double check your model number. It will be printed on the label underneath the battery. I believe the Virgin Mobile Galaxy SII is the SPH-D710 (aka the Epic 4g Touch), NOT the GT-i9100. This is the forum for the i9100. If your model number reads as SPH-D710, then you're looking in the wrong forum. The i9100 doesn't even work on the same network as the Epic 4g Touch. Firmwares and kernels for the i9100 won't work on the Epic 4g Touch.

You're right mine is the SPH-D710. thank you. i went to samsung mobile and put the sprint firmware for the SPH-D710 on my phone. but now my issue is that when i turn the phone on it loads up the sprint logo instead of the virgin one and it now has all the stock sprint apps instead of virgin ones. andddd. the most annoyhign of them all. i cannot get MMS messages to download no matter what i do. i've tried searching online for what to do i have found this Menu>settings>wireless and networks>more...>mobile networks> press menu> press ADD apn...etc etc. the issue for me is i get to mobile networks and hit menu and it does absolutely nothing at all. i have downloaded numerous apps like chomp sms. go sms pro. hancent sms. nothing helps. though this sprint firmware is fine for now. i'd love to know where to get the stock virgin firmware Samsung Mobile doesnt seem to have it. if anyone knows where to get it i'd appreciate the help i know i am posting in the wrong forum. i'm pretty much a noob at this. and now that its got sprint firmware on it i dont know if i can take it to a sprint store to have them fix it especially since my phone does say that it has been rooted in the past when i go into download mode. but however it does say i am running stock at the current moment....someone please help!!

Dude. Why don't you ask in the Epic 4g Touch forum? Users of that device would be more likely to know where to find what you're looking for.

i did that already bro

Blaze 4.0.4 rooting?

Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
Current firmware: 4.0.4 (ICS I believe)-OTA updated accidently
The phone came pre-loaded with 4.0.3...I don't know why
Current baseband: T769UVMB1

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

[Q] Noob question about flashing?

Hey guys, I'm currently running a ROM and I want to switch, I'm finding a lot I like on here, but they're just in the general S3 section. If I flash a rom, does it have to be in the Verizon section? How do I know what roms can work for my Verizon S3?

I'll be nice but others might not be. These forums are divided up for a reason so if you like your phone, stick to the ROMS for your specific device. If you have a S3 I535 for Verizon, then stick to the Verizon forums. Any ROM SHOULD flash to your phone as long as you stick to the instructions in the op. I mean this, read the OP thoroughly before you flash a new ROM and follow the instructions exactly as the dev says. And welcome to XDA> Also, Google is your best friend when in doubt or if you screw up. Just because this is Q&A, doesn't mean you will always get an answer.
Good luck and happy flashing.

These types of threads usually get little or no attention. Both of your questions are common sense questions since you're supposed to flash only carrier specific roms in the first place to avoid hardware bricks and you suppose to flash them yourself to see how the roms work on your phone plus to see if you like the rom. All the roms work but you can still encounter random problems.

[Q] Just Got My SGS3

Okay i just got a galaxy s3 because i have practically been on the fascinate my whole life, Flashed the life out of it and to this day its 100%. I want to root, and flash roms to my s3, but i have came across many threads and such and i really cant afford to ruin this phone, its like 3 days old lol.

Read through imei backing up, casual root method, and how to root your galaxy s3 and more for generalized flashing methods. If you have any questions after reading through those feel free to ask.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

Your best way to root and unlock the bootloader is the Casual method. It roots, unlocks and even installs a recovery like CWM or TWRP. However read up a bit. It's always good to get somewhat knowledgeable before barreling into something.

Make sure to read and understand the "Comprehensive IMEI/EFS Backup" section (on the link that BadUsername provided). I've never had an issue with this but I read sob storied all the time about people who didn't back up and had issues.
