Ok, here's official clockworkmod and ROM Manager support
For a full/better How To, click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
This thread is a quick rundown, as well as a primer on how to create a proper clockwork compatible kernel.
First, use odin or redbend_ua to flash this kernel:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/fascinate/zImage (you will need to package it accordingly for odin, I am lazy and did not do so, see the other thread)
Then, open up ROM Manager and flash recovery (choose Fascinate!).
All done!
Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.
How this works for those that want to develop on this further and create kernels that are ALSO clockworkmod compatible:
I extracted a initramfs from a stock recovery. I modified recovery.rc and fota.rc to allow adbd (and other small fixups). I modified default.prop to enable adbd and root shell. I replaced /res/keys with a test signed version to allow applying update.zip files.
Here is my fascinate initramfs:
http://github.com/koush/fascinate_initramfs
One can build clockwork directly into the kernel if they so choose. Simply take the update.zip on your SD card and pack those files into the initramfs as well. I chose not to do this because I am lazy.
i know this is irrelevant but i hope you can help
i flashed the CMWrecovery file --- i followed the steps to the dot .. and now my phone can't get signal and is rebooting insanely ... help!!!
i did not uninstall the ext2 lag fix - i did not see that in the steps --
i even booted into standard recovery and completed a master reset -- same issue ---

i have this up and running with root and cw the only problems im having is my market wont load and it only gives me the "top free" tab and the "just in" tabs on the market...i can not see the top paid tab. i did a odin full restore (everything back to stock) then i rooted and flashed this anyone give me a had to why my market is funny? or how i have bad serves now?thanks to everyone for getting us cw!!

So you're saying you downloaded this specific zImage2 file, then tar'd it, then flashed it over your kernel and it worked? Did you use odin, or redbend?
Or did you just post for help on the bottom of this thread?

Yes, there's a difference. When I posted asking if anyone had gotten this to work, I meant the kernel Koush specifically provided above, in this post. I know in general CWM recovery works.
I would try posting in the thread where you obtained your files for help. That way there are people who are using the same kernel that might help.

turee that sorry. im noticing more and more problems like i dont have maps and missing apps here and there. thisis my fist time using odin and samsung...should i just odin back to stock everything and then try this recovery?
Alright...so I am confused now and I am not an Android noob....I see all the threads with how to flash the recovery and then this one....but I think we should have ONE thread that walks thru Rooting, flashing recovery etc....AND, in the first post, the instructions tell people how to pack files and etc., but a lot of people have no clue what that means...therefore, we need to have a "packed-ready" files for noobs. There are just a few too many botched phones.
As a noob myself, I think that sounds like a great plan.
Look closer my friend.

Can someone post a link on how to backup the original stock kernel via ODIN (or some other application) before I go ahead with this? I'd like to just be able to go back to the unmodified kernel if I want to. After a five minute search I couldn't even find a tutorial on ODIN.
when i go into my settings and try to change sounds and display >Vibrantion intesity, it force closes and says process com.android.settings has stopped....and so on. any fix? i have the mobileap on here is rooted market 2.2 and JI6

If you believe its the problem with the Mobile AP app, then you can download the new copy of the Mobile AP for JI6 rom.
As for FC issues with settings. If you have Rom Manager installed, try the Fix permissions and reboot the phone.

I think i have the JI6 copy....and the rom manager didnt fix it?
It almost definitely the wrong version of Mobile AP. You have to make sure you install the JI6 version. You can find it in the development forum.
how do i uninstall mobileap, or should i just reinstall over the one i have on the phone already?
EDIT: okay to answer my ? i just had to reinstall no uninstall and yes i had the old version thanks for your help.

Odin this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/file/06al8prkgj29gps/cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar and then flash this from recovery:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7223192/RootSF/su-2.3.6.1+busybox1.19.zip But make sure after you odin the recovery to boot directly into recovery before the phone boots up normally.
If you are going to stay stock you need to edit a few files to keep custom recovery if you want it. Right now I am on ed03 debinged, all those junk apps removed and a few other tweaks. I started with the ota update, rooted with one click v1.8 then I used root explorer, not free but worth it. I had to edit the file names of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, then /system/bin/recovery, and last /system/recovery-from-boot.p. The fix was actually easy all I did was rename file and add .no at the end of each if those files so I don't have to try and remember what they were called. So now rooted customized with times_infinity's blue CWR sorta stock fascinate. My first attempt with this I bricked it and had to Odin again so if you do this be careful what you edit and delete. Then boot to cwr and fix permissions first, then wipe dalcic and cache. That is how I had to did it to get first boot after finishing. Usual disclaimer I am not responsible for anything you choose to do to your phone, you did it not me. I an only sharing my successful process with others.

Do you just rename or remove the Bing apks with root explorer to get Bing off the device? I have a Fascinate on the way and I too would like to de-bing ED03 as opposed to installing the ED01 de-binged ROM.
thanks.
Hi all.
I need some help and advice.
Being new to phone tinkering i dont want to do it wrong first time round.
My SE X10i is currently running gingerbread 2.3.3 but its rooted.
I would like help putting my phone on something better as the internets slow and lags a lot.
Im happy to try anything to make this phone as it could be or should be.
I dont know what rom to use or kernel as this is my first time doing anything to any phone.
AS you can guess im asking as i dont want to brick my phone on the first attempt.
If this is in the wrong place i applogise now.
Thanks if you can help.
I hate being a noob at something.
I can give more info if needed.
Thx wraith36
The internet will be always laggy. Very smooth browser is opera mobile. However the stock ROM itself is very laggy. I would recommend you to install some custom ROM. If you already have rooted phone it will be very easy to change the ROM. Just install xrecovery via flashtool (when the phone is turned on) and download ROM you want. Every ROM thread will have an exact installation guide. P. S. If you want to change kernel you have to unlock bootloader.
I could send you some necessary files to do that and guide you through unlocking the bootloader and the ROM change.
Just choose the ROM you want to have
Use this tool forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415600
Thanks for the help jakuburban
I will have a look into the ROM's and see what's what.
Do you recommend any.
I used FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec to root my phone, is that right?
I did the loader part with this and the kernel part also with FlashTool.
Well I hope I have.
You can send me what you think might help.
Beggars cant be choosers as they say.
And I need all the help I can be given or find.
And thx for you help with this.

Root the Device Install Xrecovery and CWM from the tool
and then u can decide on what Roms to Update...
Oh, You've done already almost everything. Now You just have to install xRecovery and choose which kind of ROM would You like> MIUI or a stock based ROM.
MIUI is a little bit slower but it has more options like themes etc
Stock based ROM looks almost like the stock ROM but this is the fastest one
MIUI I am using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377633
Stock based ROM I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399040
After You downloaded flashable ROM You have to enter the xRecovery and flash it.
INFO: When changing to MIUI erase the data
OK I got all the info you have posted.
How do I add xRecovery
Do I download that to and install it or is that in my phone already?
I'm a noob at this.
Sorry if im slow at this.

First method
Have Your phone turned on (USB debbuging also) and connect it to flashtool.
Then the "xRecovery" button should enable. Hit this button and You're done.

Second method
Download this file and using root explorer copy the files from bin/ > system/bin/ and from xbin/ > /system/xbin/ and reboot

To enter xRecovery keep pressing back button (press>release>press...) while the phone is booting ("sony sericsson" text, or while loading some other kernel)
OK jakuburban.
I downloaded what you said.
I've tryed to see if xRecovery will highlite itself but it never.
So now i need to try the other method.
OK jakuburban xRecovery installed now.
When I choose a ROM do I need to choose one that suite's we I am, IE in the UK?
Or can I choose any as long as it's in english?
Up to now things are going OK seeing I've not done this kind of thing before.
Thx for understanding.
wraith36 said:

Is this a command I need to type in or a direction for me to follow?
copy the files from bin/ > system/bin/ and from xbin/ > /system/xbin/
Sorry were do I copy them to? Do they need to go in a specific place in my phone?
If I start to stress you any just say and we can leave it till tomorrow.
I'm OK with it and don't want to get your back up any.

No You don't have to use any commands. (but You can If You want to have it more difficult )
the file I've sent You contains folder named system.
in system are folders called bin and xbin.
Get into bin folder and copy the files (with root explorer) to Your /system/bin/*here the files
That's what I meant with bin/ > system/bin/
After that do the same with the xbin folder
Sorry I updated my last post to say I have xRecovery installed now.
My fault for the confusion

So when I change ROM do I also change the KERNEL or is that not necessarie.

Most of the ROM's should work with the stock kernel, but I would suggest You to stick to the KERNEL the developers are suggesting. For me the best ROM is Doomkernel, because it works with MIUI and a stock ROM and also has overclocking
So the link you gave at the start for MIUI will that have the KERNEL with it or separate?
Sorry to bug you with all this.
I apologise for it now.

No, it won't. Most of the times if You will be able to boot into xRecovery, however if You delete to much it could just stuck. But then You can use SEUS, it worked always for me, or flashtool.
jakuburban which do I install first the kernel or the rom.
Do I use the flash tool I used at the start to root the phone.
Once I know that I guess I can start.

Hi firstly I would like to apologize for the posibility of sounding dumb. I have recently tried to install HX camera mod on my sIII, which resulted in my camera not working. I then tried to revert back to the original camera to correct the issue. Subsequently my camera icon and function has disappeared and having formatted the phone has not resolved the issue. The phone is rooted and I am new to this. Thanks for any help or advice in resolving this problem!
trying going recovery and wrong cache/dalvik....if that doesn't work reflash stock Rom
Pull the samsungcamera.apk from the original rom you have on your phone.(dl.rom from sammobile.)
And puss it to system/app
Set permission to rw-r--r--
Restart the phone and your fine..
