hello i have samsung fascinate 4g from telus canada
i try update my phone but something goes wront and get bricked i already
put in download mode but i dont know witch file i have to use on odin to get my phone back to stock 2.2.1 if any member can help me
Hey man, youre the wrong forum. you will not find the files you need here. check the fascinate forums for the files. honestly, i think if you try a file from here, you may hard brick your phone. but odin is definitely the way to go. if you do find out that a file from from here that works, i will gladly walk you through it, so send me a pm once you find out.

looking to root my LG GX2. It currently is running Gingerbread 2.3.3. Looking around the forum I see I need to install One-Click NvFlasher ClockworkMod. I am having trouble finding a link to download this. Are there alt. links?

Like he said, read and then read some more. Make sure you flash the correct roms, no O2x roms!

Thanks, I noticed that forum as well. However, the link for NvFlasher seems to be dead. Was hoping to find alt. link

Link there works.
Also, if you're looking to run the stock ROM, only then do you need to root (so to speak) otherwise all the custom ROMs out there are already rooted so if you want to run a custom ROM all you need to do is make a back up of your stock ROM via Clockwork Mod>factory rest (wipe data)>wipe dalvik>flash new ROM enjoy the awesomeness (or suck if you don't like the ROM)

If you are trying to download with your phone run over to the android market and get "Download all files". I had trouble downloading with the stock browser and this fixed my issue.
Welcome to XDA, I know ur new but it would be better if u searched more. Not trying to be an ass just trying to help u out so people don't get on ur back in the future. Welcome

I picked up a WIND Samsung Galaxy S 4G today. I looked in the Android Dev thread here and I don't see anything specifically for this phone.
The model number is T-959W so I don't want to try anything with hacks/roms etc meant for the T-Mobile version.
I'd be happy to supply a dump of my phone for any devs who want to play around and help us here in the great white north!
Thanks
System dump would be nice if you can provide it. I'd advice against installing any mods you found here. Good thing you're cautious
Great, thanks! I have never done a dump before so I'll have to look into how to do it. I will let you know when I do.
I see it has 8 gig internal, we only got 2 there's a tutorial somewhere for system dumps, let me find you the link.
You need to be rooted I believe.

Source files found
I found the following source files from opensource.samsung.com
SGH-T959W_NA_Opensource.zip
SGH-T959W_NA_GB_Opensource.zip
Will these help XDA with support for the Wind SGS4G?
Sure but idk if our devs are gonna build you guys stuff. Also, go to sampro.pl, it is a polish site so use Google chrome to translate it, then create an account for the site, go firmware downloads for your model if you see. If you do, then post a link to the latest version.

Imaging phone
I have heard that there may be an update in August. It may be prudent to wait for this update before capturing a ROM image, in case important fixes are made.
I guess a good question would be whether anyone has had any experience flashing T-Mobile SGH-959v ROMs on to this device.
Another avenue could be to ask someone inside Samsung whether they changed much between models.

Absolutely! I'm currently taking a little break (gotta find a job... like two weeks ago.), but when the dust settles, I'll take a little look at the source and see if we can help out.
What you could start with is a diff between the SGH-T959V-TMB_GB_Opensource.zip and the SGH-T959W_NA_GB_Opensource.zip drops.
I'd be willing to look into giving you guys something fun to work with.
I'll do a series of diffs tonight on the T959W stock kernel source and the T959V sources (stock and our CM kernel).
I have Telus S4G, which is T959P. However I've never had a problem using T959V roms,

Another potential problem
I have been hearing on the web (in these forums and on the SuperOneClick page) that the 959W is not being successfully rooted in the usual ways. Has anyone had luck with this?

You really shouldn't flash roms not made for your phone. If they contain bootloaders, you could brick your phone.
Hey T959W people. Looked at the source and things are looking pretty close. I'm not saying to run off and flash our stuff, but I need some info and someone with the big kahunas to try flashing some stuff.
Please be running linux. I can't help you with windows problems.
It would also be helpful if you have a usb download mode jig.
You can get one here:
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode-jig/
Ok Canadians! I've verified that the SGH-T959W should be exactly the same as the SGH-T959V.
There were some interesting differences between our T959V and T959W that may fix some bugs for us on T959V.
With that said, please... please... please, read all of the instructions for flashing ROMs and Kernels very carefully!
If the rom contains bootloaders, please DO NOT flash them until we can confirm there are no bootloader differences.
Like I said before, it is very common to soft brick your device. It is not the end, and do not worry if you do this. Make sure you get yourself a usb download mode jig here:

This will help you use heimdall or odin to flash stuff to your phone to make everything happy again.
You will only hard brick this device by writing the wrong bootloaders to the phone, which is why I am warning you to not flash bootloaders, for now!
With that, enjoy cm7, cm9, aokp, et alii!
I will also announce this in the android general forum!

I managed to get my Wind SGH-T959W rooted and up and running with a unofficial CM9 build, but it took a bit of work.
Firstly, I tried just about every one-click solution out there, to no avail. It's possible SOC 1.7 with rattlethecage works, but I didn't have the patience to find out whether I simply had to wait a bit longer.
I followed this guide(whilst clenching every clenchable muscle I could consciously control):
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/o...mission-t-mobile-galaxy-s-4g-gingerbread.html
The gist is, Odin 1.7, stock+voodoo for T959V, plus some update that I'm not qualified to describe. That should get you rooted and if that's all you're looking for, you'll have to suffer through a little T-Mobile branding on startup.
Once you got it all rooted, you'd think it'd be a good idea to toss sgs-ics on there, right? Well, no. After installing the 4G variant, it promptly set off into a boot loop which I'm again, unqualified to diagnose. The obvious solution was to try another team's version of ICS, which I indeed found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
Barring some missing features, it sounds like a good alternative to sgs-ics. Though I had to go through one additional step, which I really, honestly assure you I was under-qualified to execute. When I tried to load Team Acid's CM9 r3 it gave me an assert on the updater-script, since the hardware didn't match up. Easy. Unzip the package, open up META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, remove the first check. You know it's the same hardware, you don't need some stinkin' script to tell you it won't work.
So all said and done, I now have a Wind Mobile SGH-T959W running ICS 4.0.4 courtesy of bhundven, the Odin folks, Team Acid, and likely a slew of other contributors.
Thanks folks, and enjoy!
PS, if you want that tarball bhundven, send me a PM with some brief instructions, and hopefully you can help my fellow Winders.

Duh, and rightfully so. You should not flash anything that was not made for your phone.
As I said before. The SGH-T959V and the SGH-T959W are the same phone, just packaged differently for t-mobile vs. wind.

We can fix that by adding your OTA Assert to our build. Then this won't happen. Let me fix that.
Thanks for someone finally reporting something useful!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Alright what I want to do is make a copy, clone, or back-up of my stock rom and if its at all possible to unroot the phone. Why? because if anything happened to my phone example I droped it and something like the 4g stoped working I would still like the use my insurance to replace it.
Now I've looked all over the forums not just on this site but others to see if this was a possibility. I was able to find a Recovery thread on the wiki but it says FROYO ONLY! Let me give you a little info about my phone it might help you, help me. Firmware 2.3.6, Kernel 2.6.35.7, Build Gingerbread, model SGH-T959V and I rooted it with the newest superoneclick. I'am really good with computer junk and with tutorials a simple link to lead me in the right direction should be all I need.
Another thing I was looking at was Valhalla Final T959V I seen a tutorial somewhere on that but lost it. A link to that would be really sweet.
Sorry if I'am being a pain in the butt but I do really appreciate your help. Thanks
Download sgs kernel flasher from the play store and antonx kernel from xda and flash that which will give you cwm then download your rom follow the instructions and flash away
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498 has a good way to flash AntonX's kernel to your phone. That will get you CWM and let you flash other ROMs.
That thread also has a "back-to-stock" flasher in case you need to return or service your phone.
You two are gentlemen and a scalars. I'll give them a shot when I get out of work. Thanks!
Right now I am stuck with a soft brick because I cannot restore to stock using the two older firmwares available here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/obake/list.php so until the 12.15.15, OTA is on here I cannot restore back to stock :-/
I know I have another thread similar so if mods would like to take the other one down as I see this one maybe being more useful that would be fine
BUT PLEASE, can someone upload the 12.15.15!? It is only a matter of time before other users begin to have this same issue and I figure before the forums get flooded with "help me please" threads this would be the start and end of them...

the people who maintain this site here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ said there is no ETA for the file we are looking for, I do not believe they create them but more so wait for them to be released from other source I am unaware of, so for now it is a waiting game which is unfortunate for me cause i am soft bricked until it is released
This is scary. I guess I'll be very careful until it's released. Hope it gets released soon for you guys
This is nothing unusual for locked moto devices. I know it sucks but just be patient and it should be out soon

I'm wondering if maybe the file won't get released until Kit Kat comes along, perhaps it is going to be out soon so the files are being held back. Not by Scrilax_CZ of course, but whomever his source is.
