I'm not new to rooting, i used to have a rooted Evo. But all this DL09, EB01, stuff for the fascinate is getting confusing.
When i rooted my fascinate the first time i flashed a DL30 rom and my phone semi-bricked, it just hung at the samsung logo (i think the problem was i had the DL09 modem???). I had orange CWM but to get into it i had to go through stock blue recovery and apply update.zip every time. after i flashed the DL30 rom blue recovery wouldnt flash the update.zip, it said validation failed.
So i used odin to flash DJ01 stock, then the EB01 all in one root/recovery/SC 2.9, and then i flashed the red CWM-all. I no longer have blue recovery at all, which i think is good.
But now my problem is im afraid to flash a new rom. Since i no longer have to go through blue recovery to get to CWM i should be ok to flash anything right? If i mess it up so bad that it wont boot into the OS i should still be able to get into recovery and restore my backup regardless of what i flash through CWM right?
Also, on a related note. I have a theme for EB01 that i like (Im on SC 2.9 now). if i flash SC 2.9.2, then a new kernel, will my theme that worked on SC 2.9 still work on 2.9.2?
What I recommend is starting off getting an EB01 base.

After you Odin stock EB01/repartition, new recovery, radio, kernel of your choosing (make sure to enable voodoo lagfix if choosing a voodoo kernel)
For a rom I would download the debloated EC01 Rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035420
From there flash a theme of your choosing, make sure to wipe cache/Dalvik before installing a new theme.
Just make sure to reboot after everything flash.

Fyi, EC01 is the newest. Also you can also wait till Monday as its rumored that Froyo will finally be released. From my reading it could most likely happen next week.

That is not the question i asked. Im asking if its safe to flash any rom/kernel/theme now that i have red CWM. When i had orange CWM and had to go through blue recovery to get to it i hosed my system partition, couldnt get to CWM, and had to flash back to stock through odin.
So just to clarify. Is it safe to flash whatever i want now that i have red CWM?
Yes you should be ok. I flashed over twenty different themes thru CWM red. Just don't forget to wipe before.

I think your a bit rushing thru this. Cool down, a read a bit more, and show a bit more patience. Could you elaborate a little bit more? What theme are you installing, and is it specifically for the Fascinate?
Cooling down
Cooling down is always good advice..
Not sure what you want me to elaborate on...

Just a heads up Sonic. He also posted this question over in the themes section so he may be getting confused trying to switch back and forth and possibly getting different answers between the two threads. Just don't want you to waste your time of giving him the correct advice like you are doing, and have it go for naught.
Everyone may already know DroidXcon over at Android Central was the one who originally gave us Fascinate owners these ODIN packages. Unfortunately his phone became hard bricked when it fell off his desk while helping someone in the AC forums. I offered to help, and DroidXcon spent several hours walking me through the necessary steps to create the ODIN packages. So all credit for these ODIN packages goes to him, I am simply following his exact instructions and continuing his work.
Besides DroidXcon, I want to also give credit where credit is due. I am not claiming any part in creating the ROMs contained in these ODIN packages, this is just an easy all-in-one way to flash ROM, kernel, and modem. Adrynalyne, one of the great devs working on the Fascinate among other phones, took time out of his busy schedule to Debloat, Debing, and Deodex the ED01 official Froyo OTA release to give us that ROM. Adrynalyne again and the rest of TeamSbrissenMod - sbrissen, nisuj17, nemesis2all, gizmodroid, sunder74, gunnermike53, & js123, and anyone else who had any part in putting together or testing this collaborative effort known as Community ROM or Ultimate KangBang. Devs jt1134 and GizmoDroid collaborated and provided us with the current, functioning CWM linked to in this thread. imnuts for his kernel which seems to have been the key to get the Comm ROM packages to flash and load. So thank you so much to all of you for everything you have done and continue to do for the Fascinate and the Fascinate community......
XDA and I disclaim all liability for any harm that may befall your device, including, but not limited to: bricked phones, voided manufacturer warranties, exploding batteries, etc. We all flash things onto our phones at our own risk.

The Debloated/Deodexed packages contain the ED01 Debloated/Deodexed/Debinged rooted ROM from Adrynalyne, the EC01 modem/radio, cwm froyo, and Adrynalyne's EC10 kernel. The Community ROM packages contain Comm ROM v1.3, the EC01 modem/radio or no modem/radio, cwm froyo, and imnuts' -50mv nonvoodoo kernel. There is no stand alone ED01 modem yet, so we have to make do with the EC01 modem for now. Just like DroidXcon's other packages, these are nonvoodoo only. I will make adjustments to the packages as things are released.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING A VOODOO SETUP, YOU WILL NEED TO DISABLE VOODOO LAG FIX PRIOR TO FLASHING ONE OF THESE ODIN PACKAGES JUST TO BE SAFE. After a clean install and full reboot you can boot to cwm, flash the voodoo kernel of your choice, enable lag fix and reboot.
I NOW INCLUDE IMNUTS' -50mv NONVOODOO KERNEL IN THE COMM ROM PACKAGES BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO WORK TO ALLOW THE ROM TO FLASH IN ODIN AND COMPLETELY LOAD. AFTER THE ROM COMPLETELY LOADS, YOU CAN STICK WITH THAT KERNEL TO SEE HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU OR YOU CAN SAFELY BOOT TO CWM AND FLASH THE VOODOO OR NONVOOODOO KERNEL OF YOUR CHOICE.
***Update 05/17***
- Switched from times_infinity's ComaVolt nonvoodoo kernel to imnuts' -50mv PBJ nonvoodoo kernel
- Data wipe Community ROM packages added.
- Community ROM packages contain Comm ROM v 1.3
***Update 06/12***
- Added Community ROM 2.0 packages
To install ODIN packages on your device
1.Download and install drivers on your computer HERE
2. Next you will need the ED01 Froyo tar file which will be placed in the PDA section of ODIN:
DEBLOATED/DEODEXED:
Use this version if you are coming from an Eclair build (EA28, DL09, DH12, DI01.)
This version will wipe your data, so make sure you back it up:

Use this version if you are already on a Froyo Build (DL30, EB01, EC01, or stock ED01.)
This version will not wipe your data:
ED01DB_DOx_SHARK.tar
COMMUNITY ROM:
CR 1.3
These versions will not wipe your data
This version contains the EC01 modem/radio and imnuts' -50mv PBJ nonvoodoo kernel:

After downloading these files you will need to extract the .tar.md5 file from the .rar file. For visual aid instructions on "how to extract the file" and "how to use ODIN", see post #'s 3 and 4 of DroidXcon's original ODIN thread .
3.) You will need to download the ODIN application tool found here ODIN or ODIN MIRROR
4.) You will also need the latest recovery, CWM 3.x HERE
5.) If your phone is plugged into your computer, unplug it now.
6.) If your phone is not powered down, power it down now.
7.) Remove battery from phone.
8.) Launch ODIN on PC.
9.) Plug USB cable into phone.
10.) Plug your Fascinate into the PC via the USB cable that came with your phone.
11.) Press and hold the volume down key until (approx 3 secs) you see a gigantic yellow triangle on your phone, and your phone will be in download mode. The first thin rectangle in the upper left of the ODIN applicate should also turn yellow and identify a com port. You can now release the volume key.
12.) Click on the PDA button in ODIN
Triple check that you pushed the PDA button. Do NOT click the Phone button prior to continuing to step 13. If you choose Phone, you will have bought your Fascinate a one-way ticket to hell.
13.) Find and double click on the ED01.tar.md5 file you downloaded in step 2 above & click the Start button. (This should take approx 3 to 6mins)
14.) Phone will power down when finished.
15.) Close ODIN, remove USB cable from phone, reinsert battery, power on phone and let ROM fully load.
16.) Power down phone, remove battery.
17.) Open ODIN.
18.) Reconnect phone to USB cable as described above in step 11.
19.) Click on the PDA button in ODIN. (Don't forget the warning about making sure you clicked the PDA button)
20.) Find and double click the CWM 3.x file you downloaded in step 4 above & once again click the Start button. (This should only take 7 seconds)
21.) Phone will power down again.
22.) Close ODIN
23.) Reinsert battery.
24.) Power phone and wait to boot. (Should take approx. 4 mins)
Thanks for continuing this work. This is a real service to the community.

Good warning to NOT use the phone button. Fyi, there have been several users who recovered from this. In the event that a user stupidly presses the phone button, this can be recovered. I believe it just involved the same method that Adynalyne gave us for recovering after he caused many soft-bricks. (odin the stock files back on, along with PIT file and modem).

Welcome. Yes, I remember gunnermike actually flashing something in the phone section on purpose just to see what would happen, and he recovered from it. And I believe that is the correct recovery from it also. The stock EB01 with the atlas 2.2 in the pit section with repartitioning checked has saved countless people. And I use it to clean things up for a fresh start after I've gone on a flashing binge.

You're welcome. After the Easter holiday I'm going to look at adding other ED01 ROMs. I should get better at this as I do it more. Plus I'm learning from DroidXcon the master, so between the two of us hopefully we can continue on this.

2 questions...
1. coming from froyo using the no data wipe tar.. should we disable voodoo? i know odining will normally put rfs back on however without data wipe wondering if it ok?
2. similar to the "reset wipe" that is recommened with the ec10 and some of the other ed01 installs - would it be a good idea to put the atlas 2.2 pit file in pit section and repartition with the odin flash?
thanks and rock on...

My bad, I thought I mentioned some of that in the OP, will update.
1. Yes these packages are nonvoodoo, so if you are running voodoo, you will need to disable lag fix prior to flashing to be safe. Then after clean install and full reboot, you can boot to cwr, flash your voodoo kernel of choice, and enable lag fix.
2. No, these packages are not designed to work with the atlas pit file. They will wipe the cache partition for you. The wipe version wipes cache and data, so if you want a fresh start even coming from a Froyo build you can do that. I tested the wipe version coming from stock EB01 and SC 2.9.2 nonvoodoo and had no issues. I had a few testers use the no wipe package from various set ups and they had no issues. So no need to use the atlas 2.2 pit file, use these ODIN packages as is.
I just rooted my wife's fascinate, after flashing Odin and the update zip, it booted to red clockwork did a reboot and now I can't get back to clockwork.
Is this the issue of booting the phone back on the stock kernel? It reverts to stock recovery?
If this is the case, once in clockwork initially should I create a backup and then flash a kernel?

I believe if you look here at XDA in the development fourm, jt1134, times_infinity and imnuts all have custom nonvoodoo kernel options which will work with this ED01 debloated/deodexed ROM. If you choose an imnuts kernel, being new to the Fascinate you may want to start out with the standard voltage (sv) kernel until you can do some reading on setting the voltage. Any of the devs here are putting out some amazing kernels, but these are the only nonvoodoo custom kernel options of which I am aware.
@landshark68
Thanks for the awesome release! Could you also make a package without the radio? This way, if people are on ED01 radio, they can flash and have the best of both worlds, since ED01 radio is the only thing that's not available now.
Kernal overlap problem...
I currently have two verizon fascinate phones. one is for my wife and one is for my self. My wife's fascinate had absolutely no problem after odin froyo ed01 ROM but my fascinate had previously installed [ROM][4.27.2011][ED01]Community Rom V1.2 rom by flashing the .zip files. And when it's booting up, the verizon startup animation and "android" letter animation gets overlayed. Is this because of a kernal overlap? if it is, could anyone suggest a solution for this? thanks.
i'm assuming this is pre-rooted?
Can I tether free using a third party sw other than Verizon hotspot with this rom?

community rom 1.3 is gonna be out very soon, might wanna hold off a bit
Bad news..Tried to run this and while in odin/d/l mode my phone went just went to an orange screen...and that was it. When I try to power up it only shows a phone with some dots going to a computer..
ANNNY clue wtf happened? Or how to fix it?
EDIT: Just had to heimdall this bad boy, back to complete stock. NO clue what happened there.
I tried to go from superclean 2.9.2 to the community forum, but odin locked up and I had to recover to stock with Heimdall. Currently I have stock 2.2.1 with EB01. I have tried to Odin DL09 multiple times, with Odin 1.3 and 1.7 with no luck. How can i update from eb01 to ed01 so that I can flash the community rom....On another note how can I get CWM3 if I cant use Odin?
You can heimdal dl09, that's what is did and go from there. Or you can flash cwm and flash the ec01 radio. Lots of people are having luck with that one. Then flash comm rom after.

Ok so I was in the process of trying to install CM7 from Superclean 2.9.2 and tried installing CM7 through CWM (red). Didn't work...so I tried installing the fixes for the recoveries in case it didn't work via Odin...
My phone stayed in the boot animation screen the whole way rebooting into the same animation...
So i flashed dl01 all in one to get it to stock...tried reading up and saw that I was supposed to re-partition with atlas v2.2.pit through odin in conjunction with a full stock app...
everytime I flash something with atlas 2.2 ...it always ends up booting into blue recovery with no way to boot into phone. I've tried the Stock DL09 and I've tried it with the dl01 all in one package...no cigar...
At one point I thought it worked and I saw the boot animation with the cyanogenmod logo...but it errored and kept booting into error in which I could only catch a glimpse of the words...some include "mount"
How can I fix this and be able to install Cyanogenmod 7? Please include step by step...I am aware that it is noob to ask such things, but I've tried searching and came up with solutions that didn't work for me.
Thank You
Did you have "re-partition" checked in Odin when using Atlas? Also, double check the MD5 on the .pit in case the download was corrupted.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Reflash that .pit file with a froyo odin file. EB01 or ED01 will work. Then boot up fully. Then flash the dl09 odin file by itself, no .pit then boot OTA and profit.........
Just a heads up. Dont flash a froyo .pit file with an eclair .tar file. Youll boot into recovery evertime.
Just do what I said and youll be good.
check the repartition box and odin the atlas file first(wait for "pass"message)
reset odin
put phone in download mode again
odin dlo9 or eb01 package (no repartition)
Quick caveat on going OTA from DL09: VZW's updates now skip ED01 entirely and go direct to ED04. Keep this in mind if you prefer ED01

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
no ec09 radio for me anymore. I was running cm7 and decided to install ec09. Stuff started disappearing from my sd card (I mean like entire huge folders). I'm sticking with the EDs
Just re-read OP and noticed you asked for step-by-step. There are a few guides out there, but this one by kidserious is the most up-to-date one I've found and it has yet to give me a single issue: Hope this helps!
EDIT: When using the aforementioned guide, I have always used the DL09 .tar and cannot speak for the EB01 .tar. YMMV
I have been messing with my phone alot lately and have had a bunch of issues(not booting, boot loop, different colore recoveries). So I put together a little folder for myself that gets me back to ED01 TW Debloated and OTB 1.6 kernel. If you would like me to post it or send you the folder with everything you need I can. at work now so it wouldnt be till later tonight
So I've tried starting off with kidserious's way of returning to stock...and it seemed to have worked for me because I was able to see the logo with no problem booting into recovery (red).
But when I tried installing CM7 Test Build 10 via CWM, and it didn't work...it went into repeat boot (blue) and before it started doing that after I saw "Installation aborted"
I'm actually now at a stump of how to install CM7 now...
If your using the DI01 file in ODIN you dont need to have the .pit file. Its a full stock ODIN it already has it. If you flash that to eclair your fine.

I apologize, but I'm confused by this. It's my understanding that the .pit is necessary if you're coming from a Voodoo setup. Are you saying that the DL01 .tar reverts the file system to stock on its own? Not challenging you, per se, just making sure I understand properly.

You've got it right, thats the whole reason for using the atlas and repartition checked, it's to format everything back to rfs(non voodoo) from ext4.( voodoo) or in this case mtd
This it's especially important when coming from an mtd build..ie. Cm7 and going back to an old rfs or ext4 rom. I'm no dev, just a flash a holic but I think of it like this, voodoo is just a lag fix modification of our original rfs(non voodoo) format, while mtd is a completely different format so we no longer have the luxury of a recovery that supports this ability to enable and disable our lag fix (voodoo)...which your new mtd format doesn't support. I don't even think it is possible to make a recovery that will repartition your system in preparation to flash any rom format you want
Again I am no dev and this is how I think of it to make sure I take the appropriate steps...it's just my way of remembering what to do when flashing
This is why every time you want to go back from an mtd build you must repartition with the atlas 2.2 to re format your previous mtd format back to the original rfs
Everyone I've helped with issues going from mtd to rfs/ext4 or vice versa I always suggest
rfs (non voodoo)--->mtd
Odin the 3-30 fix all recovery...immediately boot to cwr
wipe everything and flash newest cm7...(I used the 7/4 build but I see it's no longer available but the newest one works too) and reboot
power button menu to recovery...flash gapps/mtd kernels/misc.zip files you may also have with out wiping and reboot.
odin desired radio...reboot.. done.
Mtd---> rfs/ext4
Odin vzw eb01 with atlas 2.2pit and repartition checked
Fully reboot...then pull batt.
Odin desired recovery..(I still use 3-30 fix all cwr).....immediately three finger boot to cwr wipe everything and flash new rom/kernel (voodoo our non voodoo)...reboot

go to this thread, read about the files you need, flash back to stock. here
Then root, install CWR, follow part of odin heimdall guide on how to keep root on ed builds, then get jt's Cyanogen MTD, supposed to have install issues fixed. here
Hope this gets you what you are looking for.

At one point I thought it worked and I saw the boot animation with the cyanogenmod logo...but it errored and kept booting into error in which I could only catch a glimpse of the words...some include "mount"

That happened to me. The download was corrupted. I odined EB01 then odined jt's new recovery, redownloaded cm7, and reflashed.

Reflash that .pit file with a froyo odin file. EB01 or ED01 will work. Then boot up fully. Then flash the dl09 odin file by itself, no .pit then boot OTA and profit.........
Just a heads up. Dont flash a froyo .pit file with an eclair .tar file. Youll boot into recovery evertime.
Just do what I said and youll be good.

Please help! I have tried this numerous times, and my phone just keeps booting into stock recovery. It won't let me get past it.
I originally tried the .pit file with dl09 (mistake - I know), and it started the recovery mess. Then I downloaded the "stock" rooted eb01 file (EB01_DXC.tar.md5), and flashed it with the .pit file (atlas v2.2) and re-partition checked.
I have no other clue what's going on. I was just trying to wipe completely fresh to be able to load the CM7 Espresso on my phone. I've been running old CM7's for a while with the glitch kernels.
Help, please - I've been without a phone for the past 2 days. A huge thanks to anyone that can help me out!
I only use the DL01 or the ED05 stock packages. I think you should try those. I restored my phone when I was running SuperClean w/Voodoo with the DL01 package, no pit file.
Here is a link to ED05

I'm scared that I've already messed something up by using the pit file, because I actually had the full dl01 file, and nothing. Not really sure what would be different about the ed05 file. I mean, I'm gonna try it, but does any one else have a suggestion? Thanks.

a pit file is a pit file, they are no different for eclair or froyo from my understanding. I have no problems odin dl09 w/ pit...I actually got that tip from the stickies on the galaxy s forums.
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/fascinate-rs-guides/2911-how-upgrade-cyanogenmod7.html
as you can see by reading the link alot, there are alot of different guides out there with different methods and I have tried them all... Thats why I created my own guide with pieces from all the other guides that I felt worked the best. My best advice to you is spend alot of time doing research and form your own opinion on what works best. DO NOT take one posters advice as it being the correct way because there is alot of misinformation on teh internet!!
Tried to get cm7. Phone wouldnt install so I had go to dl09 then I went to rooted eb01. Question now is how do I get back to comm rom. I did try installing comm but the screen would stay black. Any help appreciated
Might want to look at the stickies, that's what they are there for....

If you're on ED01 or EB01 it shouldn't matter...boot into recovery and wipe everything and flash comm rom ...done
Edit if you don't have a recovery...make sure you odin recovery I would use the 3-30 fix all and immediately three finger salute into recovery and flash whatever you want..i thought you were trying to go to com rom?

Com rom 2.0 comes with a recovery and a kernel so I would odin recovery...if you want to use nemesis' recovery that should be fine...odin recovery...immediately three finger salute to recovery...wipe everything...flash com rom and reboot...then back into recovery to flash 2.1 patch and/or kernel and/or modem if desired.
