noob question - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys ive had the fascinate since first week its launched and im just now finally gonna root it and so thats why im here i know how to root the phone but im so totally confused on how to put like superclean and other roms on it ive read for hours about kernels and radios and roms but its all confusing ive rooted my dads og befor ota froyo was out and flashed that on his phone for him but that was so long ago so i was wondering after i root my fascinate what i need to do next to get superclean or another rom on there and whats the deal with kernels and radios.

Flash the radio via odin, the rom, kernels, and themes are flashed via cwr.

[Q] Back to Stock and UNROOT Vibrant

Hi guys I wanted to get my Vibrant from custom rom n rooted to stock rom and unrooted
i read bunch of thread including the [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)
but i can't figure out which is the right method i need to use...
i didn't use Odin, i used OneclickRoot and Rom manager to install clockwork recovery and the custom rom (nerov3)
so can anyone give me a step by step process to how to proceed w/ the back to stock
i would really appreciate it
thanks
Just read up on the ODIN.. when you go back to stock, you'll be unrooted automatically
Here the link with tutorial.

I just want to say Thank you for the link you provided. Most posts replying to questions are the usual "just do a little searching ..." and no one ever provides a starting point.
I've spent a lot of time "searching" and running into conflicting information or information pertaining to a completely different issue.
So again, Thank you for the link. It made this post simple.
[EDIT] I almost forgot to ask jimprime, why are you wanting to go back to stock and unrooted ?
I have not yet rooted, but have noticed a lot of people are looking at going back to stock and I am curious. Why root in the first place?
well first its not really my phone second i just wanted to try out froyo on the vibrant didn't c much difference and i didn't really find it that much faster than the stock and i switch back to stock
yea this helps out alot

Help me flash Axura?

Hi guys! First off, i'm somewhat new to all this flashing, android phones at least. I'm sort of a noob when it comes to this. Ok, so before the mods send me to a how-to thread, here's the scenario. I got a replacement Samsung Vibrant from T-Mobile because my first one fried up. So I get this second one and it's got Froyo 2.2. When I had my old Vibrant I had flashed Bionix R1 and it was incredibly fast. Now I want to flash Axura 2.3.x.x but I can't because I have Recovery a3. So please, could someone show me the light and point me In the right direction. I'm lost on what to do.
From Stock Samsung 2.2 Froyo to Axura 2.3.x.x is all I need

you have 2 options, you can either odin to stock eclair and flash like normal with 2e recovery or you can do a search for modded 3e recovery which will allow you to flash as if you had 2e recovery. Sorry but i dont have the links handy as this is not an issue i deal with on a daily basis.
What Shreddintyres said is correct here is the 3e fix link

This is what i followed but they say EC01 or ED01 is basically same.
only thing i did different was i updated to CWM 3.X but you can do that at later time.
I gave you link if you want to update cwm

New to Vibrant need some help.

Hi Guys
I have been on xda for a while, earlier I was using HD2 and learn quite alot from this community. Now I have got Vibrant as well reading about it on xda forums is a little confusing for me. Vibrant is not as easily flash able as HD2. So need your help guys. Let me tell you about device-
1.Its rooted and CWR is installed.
2.I installed the CyanogenMod 7 and it was working fine, Then I read about voodoo sound, to get it I flashed supported kernel -CM7_Vibrant_kernel_kang_20110504_r10_update.zip this one, but after installing it phone is not getting any signals and camera stopped working.
3.Well later on I thought to install bionix-v-1.3.1.zip but CWR is not installing saying not supported and operation abort.
Questions-
1.How do I go back to Froyo from gingrebread?
2.How to enable vooodoo sound?
Last but not the least I am already tired of flashing ROMs on my HD2 and I need little break. So please suggest best and stable ROM with vooodoo sound. So that I can use it for a while without facing any issue. Froyo or gingerbread any will do.
And please link me to some guide of vibrant where I can read and understand it. I found some guides but they dont seem complete.
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you download the AIO Toolbox. It has everything you will ever need. I believe its the very first post on the vibrant android development forum.
You need to ODIN back to stock to get to FROYO. (use the toolbox, it has ODIN)
as for a stable froyo ROM, i suggest Project V, lots of themes + the sweet edt tweaks app.
Hope that helps
I moved away from eclair the moment i got my phone (wait for it) but whenever i move from froyo to ginger or voce versa, i always odin first and look for instructions in OP...
Alright, kang doesnt seem to be stable, similar thhing happened to me.. flash glitch or kernel du jour for CM7.. WAY BETTER and both have voodoo color and sound... once you have em, download voodoo control from market, altho they should be active by default.
Idk too much about froyo roms; i rememver using bionix 1.3.1 and loving it.

Oh and if you dont mind missing gps, flash miui.. i used it for a while and it was surprisingly good.

The 2 best guides ur gonna find are stickied in Q&A and Vibrant Android Development forums respectively.
Q&A is the "noob guide" by @s15274n the Vibrant Android Development one is "The Official Vibrant Bible" by @FATEOWNZYOU. Both should provide you with all your answers. Good luck!
You can always look through all the Roms and Etc. With my Vibrant Bible... Link im Sig.. little out of date cuz iv been on vacation.. but anything older then 2 weeks is on there for ya =)

Thanks to all for replying for a new user, this is what I like about xda whenever you are in trouble someone will come to rescue you
I have been reading guides and post from all our members and getting hang of vibrant now. Now I know almost all necessary things, will keep reading to get more knowledge.
@FATEOWNZYOU
Your guide is great thanks man for your efforts. Keep up the good work
Actually gps is working now on MIUI not perfect but it works, try ReVaMpEd its awesome!

Looking for a point in the right direction

First of all thank you for being such and amazing community. So I had my note 2 for a month and I loved it I had bought it out right at best buy. A friend of mine had one too and he was switching to att so he convinced me to return mine and buy his, it was a good deal, his was already unlocked and rooted.
This might sound strange but I have really gone to love stock, which is really weird since I;m coming from a nexus and flashed like twice a day, I have been trying to a find a flashable zip thats pure stock. I dont want any tweaks, just stock plus root, thats it. im running mean bean which is very close but I lost the stock quick toggles, I have read that I cant do an ODIN flash because im unlocked, I just need to know where a fully stock rom is, hopefully 4.1.2 also, thanks so much
Try scotts deodexed stock rom, thats what I've been running for the past month.

You can Odin. There is a guide stickied in development section. In that guide the are also 2 options on the file to use, a stock with locked boot loader and an unlocked version.
I believe you'll lose root with both but from that same guide get the exynos exploit app and root it again. Then download voodoo root keeper and take the ota.
Or finally in the development section again there is a stock rooted and deodexed flashable. Or like the other guy said try clean ROM.
