when I plug my phone into the computer it says my device is not recognized.

Did you download the Samsung Fascinate drivers first? I had the same problem until I installed the drivers manually.

EDIT: Yes, you will need 2 of those files, the 3rd file is actually used to recover your phone should anything go wrong. The .pit file. I'd get that one also.

The link to the Fascinate drivers is somewhere in this thread. I have actually flashed about 6 roms on my phone since yesterday so I am pretty good with the whole process now also lol.

no. what r u trying to do? Get a recovery so u can root? if so ill post a link for u.

BDogg718k · Apr 28, 2012

yes i downloaded driver manually when i did it. Did u download ODIN? As long as odin recognizes ur phone u can root it.

BDogg718k · Apr 28, 2012

u getting good with flashing huh bud?

BDogg718k · Apr 28, 2012

pretty easy when u know how to do it.:congrats:

JLawL · Apr 28, 2012

Hey BDog, I ended up using the DEVIOUS build after all xD

I ran into an issue where I lost my 3g due to the ST flash, I'm working on getting that back though.

Now I just need to figure out how to add in the custom screen when I reboot my phone. I saw one of an android crapping out an apple. I must have that rofl.

BDogg718k · Apr 28, 2012

dude that is easy stuff. I can teach u all sorts of cool stuff. u can have custom anything now that ur rooted.

BDogg718k · Apr 28, 2012

Well that is my first priority because I shut my phone off at work so I get a chance to see it daily haha.

Also, when you start the phone up it asks if you want to use trebuchet or nova launcher.

I'm assuming I should tell it to use Nova as default? I've tried both and other than the look of the start buttons they seem the same to me.

EDIT: I literally just installed DEVIOUS like 2 hours ago. So I probably have the new one assuming he updated the link lol.

BDogg718k · Apr 28, 2012

yeah it looks like he did finally. lol anyway yeah use nova as default and just just save so u dont always have to choose. it has way more features. u can start to look up custom folder patterns, icons, all sorts of stuff.

Yea. One thing I like a lot is the fact data usage is built in. Apparently if I go over 2 gb on ST they will instantly just kinda shut me off lol. I don't want that >.>

So where would I go to read how to install the boot screen? I want to show off my android eating the apple lol.

BDogg718k · Apr 28, 2012
