Okay so for the past hour and a half I've been searching for the method to root a stock Froyo fascinate for my GF, I have an epic so I know how everything works, and always read before posting but for the life of me I can't find where the guide is to root Froyo. Thought I had it here using post #5:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...-please-read-post-1-before-posting-forum.html
But the dang SU +Busybox link he has posted doesn't work anymore.
I have the ROM, Theme and Kernel I'm going to install, I've got the CWM Odin tar to install after root, all I need is the freakin root method for rooting Froyo. Was a 1-click root method ever updated for froyo cause the link I posted said it wasn't..
Thanks guys.
EDIT: every guide I find for Froyo insists on downloading the SU +busybox package right after flashing cwm through ODIN but they all have the same link that doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have that file mirrored?
Also what if I just flash CommRom 2.1 right after odining cwm? Would that give me perm root or that wouldn't work either?

Now go into development section and click on the ed05 powerwashed thread. Imo thats the best "daily driver" rom out and it seems that the missed call issue is fixed. Oh and yes its debloated/debinged/deodexed/zip aligned/rooted... I recommend downloading just the rom then flash the pbj kernal instead of otb-fusion.

I put froyo on my vibrant using Odin. have JL5 (from samfirmware.com) and the 2.6.32.9 kernel now.
update.zip did not work to root, nor did that one click lage fix or other things work.
would like to use froyoblack and e.g. axura.
any ideas?
none of the "easy" known root options work due to 2.2 having a newer recovery.
To root 2.2 firmwares, search google for SuperOneClick. This will root your device. The only problem is, with recent firmwares, there is literally not enough space to install root and install busy box, so you'll need to delete a few apps.
but, it doesn't hurt to try though.

Not Sure If You Tried It, Or If It'll Work? But Z4Root Worked Well For Me & A Few Others I Know!! Also Unrevoked Works Well, But Once Again I Have HTC, Not Samsung, So Don't Know If Either Will Work??

If I were u I would just Odin back to stock then root from there. Then install rom manager and flash one of the custom ROMs from Team Whiskey or Eugene373.

you just said exactly what i was going to.
This is probably the best idea.
i have rom manager, built my rom, and downloaded it. where does rom manager put it and how do i install via cwm
You may want to do some more reading. With all due respect, if someone took the time to write up how to you might not get it. The how to's in the dev section break it down reallly simply. Im "new" to this stuff and have rooted and flashed multiple phones and roms by FOLLOWING the directions exactly. Never even used rom manager. I used oneclick root method, latest cwm not 3.0, and am enjoying jt's vanilla aosp w nextheme

Does any one have a link to the stock kernel for the eclair fascinate. Its my friends. He flashed the ec10 voodoo kernel. I have got voodoo disable but need a flashable stock eclair kernel to fix this.
Do yeah. I still need it. Ok looking through the forums now. I have found the package to Odin back to stock but would preffer to just flash the stock kernel. This fixed my mesmerize at one time. Don't know if it will work now. Any help would be appreciated
Edit. Gonna try the method in the sticky. See what that does.
The steps in the stickey fixed it. This was mostly my fault cause he asked me if the ec10 kernels was ok. Never crossed my mind he was still on eclair. Anyway got him on 2.2 using the Odin files. Love that program. Sorry for takin up a thread. I should have just done the Odin thing from the start. Lesson learned.

Im new to this rooting stuff and ive been trying to figure out how to do it by myself for weeks.
Can i root my fascinate if its version 2.3.5 and how??
Whats the purpose of rooting and what can i do after i do it?
The main reason why im attempting to root is to run a app called gameboid, is rooting the only way i can do it?
Thanks

skip that section and follow section 4...
I was able to follow everything perfectly. Thanks for the help
If your wanting to put 4.0.3 then don't root your 2.3.5 because that would be wasted steps...there is a better way to do it.
Use Odin to flash a clockwork mod recovery, then put the ics zip on your ad card, then boot into the recovery and install the zip. Once installed the ROM will already come pre rooted

already adressed that issue thanks
You don't need to be rooted to run emulators like gameboid.
However, since you're already looking into ICS, I'd recommend flashing it cause it's awesome.
Do we need a specific (blue) cwm or can i use red recovery for ics?

You need cwm4 fixed for cm7. That cwm you mentioned won't work. Check droidstyle's guide in general fascinate forum. It will have all the info you need.

You don't really need a good computer to flash back to stock, just a USB cable. The easiest way is to flash back to stock JFD 2.1 with Odin and then root your phone with update.zip B, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice then flash the ROM (twice also if going to JB 4.2). Here is a link for both flashing to stock and rooting with update.zip B http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 . If you decide to stay on 2.2 you will have to use the modified 3e recovery zip, I have never done this so can't really explain how to do it, here is the link though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423.

Try update.zip A from the first link I provided, it should root your phone. Then you can use the 3e method. I've never had to do this myself so sorry I don't have a straight answer for you.

Yes I rooted my phone with Update.zip B, it doesn't actually root but it gives you CWM and you can flash a custom ROM, they all come pre rooted. You should really flash back to stock if possible, it's very easy from stock 2.1. I'll do some research and see what I can come up with but stock 2.2 has a bunch of issues with rooting and installing CWM, this is why everyone recommends flashing to stock 2.1 (JFD)
Edit - it appears superoneclick 2.3.1 works for some people on stock Froyo (2.2). Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146645 If you get it rooted on stock 2.2 you will still have to do the 3e recovery step FYI

hey sorry for the late reply I just used samsungs skies to upgrade mine to froyo just put your phone in kies mode then plug it in run the updater and it should work fine and I got the root to work thanks for the help only problem I got now is making it boot into clockworks recovery so I can flash my room im still working on that ill post back when I can get it to work
Thanks for the reply. Sad news. I used Kies Mini to update and everything went fine until the reboot. well it didnt reboot, my phone is officially bricked. I bought a JIG to see if it would help wake it in Download but it does not. I have read that you can open the phone and do some soldering to get the phone back but it seems like too much for this phone. If you have any suggestions that would be fantastic.. Thanks again for your reply.
