I am looking for some updated information on the Samsung Fascinate 4G. I received it as a gift, it is unlocked from Telus and running on Rogers, but it doesn't have root. I have checked it with root checker. I have read every post in the forum regarding this phone, and I know it can be done, but the posts are all well over a year old, some of the links don't work, and some of the posts are contradictory. Does Superoneclick root this phone running Gingerbread 2.3.4, Baseband: T959PTLKH2, Kernel: 2.6.35.7-T959PTLKH2-CL455087? Some say yes, others have had problems. I am leery on trying it because I am not 100% sure I can get someone to help me get it back up and running because it is a bit of a lone wolf. I was all set to try Odin, but again I don't want to be stuck with a phone that isn't working and not sure how to get it running again. Can somebody help me figure out how to root this baby. I would love to see the potential. Thanks for your time.

Hi there,
I recently used the "eugene" froyo update on my new unlocked samsung vibrant from t-mobile. it still lags sometimes and i was kinda hoping to find a way to make it faster.
I don't know if the eugene froyo update rooted my phone or not. under firmware version it says 2.2 and build number says FROYO.UVJK2. I don't know what the build number means either.
I wanted to downgrade from this 2.2 version back to 2.1 cuz i wanted to wait for the original release of 2.2, but i couldnt find a way to downgrade. I want to make the phone faster if possible, that is why i am posting this.
If anyone could help or give me a solution, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
[EDIT] - Now following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098586
My phone congratulated me this morning, saying that there was an update available from T-Mobile.
I checked out the forums and searched Google News and could find no information on the update or what it was going to do. Was a little paranoid it would help T-Mobile throttle my DL speeds or have some other negative effect. My phone is not rooted.
Got antsy at work and installed it.
Disappointingly, it is not Gingerbread. It says my firmware version is 2.2.1 my kernel version is 2.6.32.9 build FROYO.VUVKD1
Anybody have any idea what this is?

kd1 is supposed to fix the sms fail error, and the reboot issue, and is faster. Weve had KD1 for a while now, unofficially

could have manually loaded it weeks ago. it was official from samsung and tmo. they didnt want to push it over the air all at once and cripple their network.
it's been good for me.
kd1 has also been out officially via kies u can find it in the tmobile sgs4g forum.... but i guess u chose to wait for the OTA.... and success100 said its also been out unofficially...

Hi, been reading here for ages, but n00b videos and such have stopped me joining, but now I feel confident enough to move up to a custom ROM with instructions I'm able to follow.
I have a Galaxy S currently running JVQ Europe, although I'm in Australia.
I'd like to use MilkyS MOD but have a question or two first.
Will this go on JVQ?
Lagfix: Am I right in assuming that if I haven't added this, it's not there?
You talk of two versions, Odin and CWN, would one be easier for me than the other?
Please be patient with an old man. I did manage to root this phone when I upgraded 2.2 with 2.3.4 JVP, then JVQ, and I managed to get them on OK, I also changed the region code to Europe ..... but that's the extent of my "knowledge".
As far as I know, although I rooted JVP, I haven't rooted JVQ, so my phone isn't rooted, does this mod root, or need rooting first?
Thanks, Billy
if you post in the galaxy s forum, im sure you will get an answer
Hi, I've had the Infuse for some time now and I've been patiently waiting for the next official 2.3 update after it got pulled. I assume this wont happen and my contract will probably be over by then. lol. Anyways I'm kind of new to this and would like some help on upgrading it to gingerbread myself. I dont know if it's possible but can I put gingerbread without rooting? If so, that would be great. If not, can someone post all the instructions needed to do this myself and how to revert back to stock if I want to.
Thank you, really appreciate it.
Check out the Infuse 4G super thread to get you started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
that should have everything you need to root, flash, return to stock, etc. With detailed instructions on how to do it all, and what u need to do if u "f" up!
I just updated my daughter's Infuse with Kies Mini to the official 2.3.6 Gingerbread version today, April 24, 2012. We were having trouble with the phone messing up, so my wife called AT&T. They told her to update the phone with Gingerbread. I hooked the phone up to the pc and updated the phone. Working fine.
I would first like to start by saying i have searched everywhere on the forums for several hours trying to find my answer with no luck. so if the answer is indeed out there please point me in its direction.
I currently have a clean ESN on my non-active SPH-D710 Sprint Galaxy S2, rooted, and romed with build number "RUJELUS22 The Blu Kuban GB27 2.0.0.5" Software version"GB27" Android Version 4.1.2, Kernal version 3.0.74+
I am currently using my active SPH-M820-BST, Android Version 2.3.6, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7, GINGERBREAD.FF19 Build number. Hardware Ver.M820.07. through Boost Mobile. (Samsung Prevail)
A friend of mine romed, and rooted the GS2 for me, but is no longer around to help, or teach me how to finish the project, i am very new at this, but know my way around the PC, Ive tried the very first step (or so i assume) to retrieve the GS2 MSL through Terminal Emulator // Connect Bot with "getprop ril.MSL", the command runs, but doesnt show the needed info. ive been trying to find a way to Flash this Boost over to this Sprint phone for weeks. I'm asking as well as apologizing if this has already been solved. I desperately need help with this. Please, and Thank You for your time.
Cool, thanks everyone, now i know why i dont use this website
You still need help
