yesterday iwasaperson was extremely helpful to me. Thanks. I took my fascinate back to stock 2.1 and allowed it to update to 2.2. I then rooted my phone by flashing CWM recovery using ODIN. (red version) I had installed two files to root of drive one update.zip and the other for rooting the phone Su-----.zip. I ran them using the red version and restarted the phone. The phone is now rooted but I can't get back to CWM recovery.
I tried the following: I have ROM manager and flashed CWM but it wom't take. If I try to go into recovery I get the stock Samsung blue menu. I am thinking I need a different (CWM recovery comptabile) kernel or mod to get this to work.
Can someone help?
Reflash cwm, boot directly into recovery mode, and flash your custom kernel. The stock kernel tends to block access to cwm.

So i rooted my phone manually (ran rage.bin, pushed su, busybox, and Superuser) and then used odin to flash the CWM_recovery_DL09.tar. to get to CWM recovery i had to go through blue recovery every time (apply update.zip). Once i got into CWM i flashed a DL30 rom and my phone wouldnt boot. not only wouldnt it boot but blue recovery wouldnt apply the update.zip. i had to odin back to DJ01 stock.
Now i flashed the EB01 root/recovery/superclean and then flashed the red CWM-all.
I have two questions. Did my phone originally brick because i was supposed to flash a DL09 rom instead of DL30 rom? And now that i can get into red recovery directly, am i safe to flash whatever i want?
I assume that since i dont have to go through blue recovery, and i can go directly to red CWM, i should always be able to get into CWM and restore a backup if i hose my system right?
unbelievable
Did the dl30 rom have a kernel? If not you were trying to run froyo with the stock eclair kernel. Can't imagine that works to well. And yes now that cmw is properly flashed, barring a major snafu, you should always new able to enter cmw using the 3 key method.

Ok, so long story short - I went through a lot of steps to restore my fascinate to stock, and then rooted it through recovery. It worked fine until I installed Rom Manager and now my phone won't boot into recovery again. My question is - did I do something wrong?
I restored my phone to stock using Heimdall
Updated it to the latest version
Rooted it using odin and flashing recovery
then installed Rom Manager
Thank you for all your help guys!!!

download odin (onto pc), a non stock kernel and the recovery.zip that you want to use.(both recovery.zip and non stock kernel on your sd card)
Put your phone in dl mode and flash recovery via odin...when odin is done, immediately three finger boot into recovery and flash non stock kernel, and reboot.
Unless your on cm7 rom manager is useless and will bring more hurt then help, and your recovery is being overwritten by the stock kernel every time you boot which is why you need the non stock kernel...I personally would recommend a rom that contains a kernel...you can find a list of all roms, kernels, and recoveries in the dev section stickies.
Do you know how to properly flash roms, and kernels? I ask because I don't want to get you stuck even worse...if you need step by step instructions I'll reply later when I'm at a pc

You can give me a few tips and hints. That would be appreciated. Also, I thought the easiest way was through Rom Manager.
On a side note - what would be the most stable ROM to flash to the fascinate?
EDIT: Ok, so I installed PowerWashed 1.2 ROM and can handle this on my own a little bit. I'm still a little unsure on which roms are most stable/trustworthy, but I might stick with this one for a while.
So, my phone was rooted, I flashed Bionix onto with Overstock Kernel, I tried to install Destroyer of Worlds Kernel but my phone wouldn't boot up. So I flashed Odin to revert to the original TouchWiz ROM. I re-rooted the phone but now it won't let me flash Clockwork Recovery. I used ROM Manager to flash it, I re-installed the packages several times using the stock recovery, I also manually went into stock recovery and that wouldn't work. I tried everything but nothing works. Someone help me! D:
So its to my understanding that you don't need ROM manager after you root the SF with clockworkmod installed during the root process. I ran rom manager after root, installed the latest clockworkmod from ROM manager, and then rebooted. Whenever I would flash anything it would go to the rom managers cwmr. But if i hard rebooted it with the volume keys it would go to Voodoo, which i assume takes the place of the stock Android Recovery. However, I tried to manipulate a nandroid back up in the VooDoo cwm, and it immediately sent me phone into a boot loop followed by a total brick of my phone. What do we need to use? I'm coming from a rooted Droid X before my fascinate.
Thanks!

Don't waste your time with ROM Manager if you're not running CM7. It doesn't work with the Fascinate otherwise. Stick with the CWM you put on there with ODIN. If I were you, I would get the tar file for CWM 3 and reODIN it.
I've since restored my phone back to stock, rerooted and gotten miui back the way I had it. Now unfortunately I didn't read your post early enough and mistakenly added rom manager again and installed their version of clockwork. Should I just boot recovery and wipe/reset. That'll get rid of the secondary clockwork I installed right?

I'm using a Rogers Infuse 4g. was running miui rom but then flashed a stock rom
how do i get into a cwm recovery??? when i try the 3 button salute to get into recovery i get sent into the original recovery
i want to flash cm9 but i can't seem to get into a red recovery
can someone help?
How did you flash the stock ROM? It may have completely reverted all software to stock, including the recovery. If that's the case (test if you have root), you'd just have to start over, as if it's a new phone.
You'll have to flash CWM recovery from fastboot.
