Simplest way:
Odin PWGB 2. 0. 1b
Restart phone and let it fully boot
Odin cwm 2. 5. X by jt 1134
Download tsm resurrection 1. 0 and 1. 2 patch and put them on the root of the SD
Reboot recovery, do the three wipes and install tsm res 1. 0. Let it fully load
Reboot recovery again and flash 1. 2 patch. Let it fully load
Flash the kernel of your choice if you want
Profit
tsm res1.2, TKSGB 11-14, lag fix
ok, probably know how to do all this, but what kernels do I use, and what is prophet? And is there an instruction section on how to use Odin. I used it once before when I originally rooted my phone, but I had a step by step instructions on what to do.... My phone is voodoo right now, is that going to cause any problems?

How do I know if I am voodoo'd? I have the voodoo folder on my SD card but I do not know if I am actually voodoo'd as I didn't do anything to make myself that way.

I will answer these in reverse order as.... well.... it will be easier
Any of them, the colors mean nothing (dont quote me on that) and if you choose the PBJ version of Kangbang (community rom) you will get a yellow one! They all work the same but leading to the first question.....
....When you have the latest CWM3.X there is a voodoo option menu. If you click it you will be showen a list of voodoo check points (what I call them) that will tell you if and where the lagfix (voodoo) is enabled. If you flash a voodoo kernel you will automatically be converted to voodoo. **you will hear a nice robot lady voice tell you upon first start up**
If you just want a simple way of telling right now if you have voodoo. Pop over to the market and type in voodoo. Download the voodoo control app and open it. There is a menu that will tell you if it is enabled or not!
If I was going to do it I would grab the purple version (personal preference) and flash Imnuts's PBJ -50 kernel or the Kangbang (comm ROM) package that the kernel and ROM come in together. That way you will have voodoo, yellow updated CWM3.X, and the famed Kangbang (comm ROM)!
You can check right in CWM (under Voodoo), or via the Voodoo Control app.

any update.zip will work as far as I know and you can still use the 'voodoo' red CWM 3.x even if you don't want voodoo. I was using it for a while to flash the ComRom package with no kernel. As for checking if you have voodoo enabled, you can do what the others said or run the Quadrant app from the market. If voodoo your score should be 1500+, normally its around a 1000. Of course the scores mean nothing, its just a quick way to tell.

If this is the route you want to take (I highly recommend it as well), I would check out this thread or even this thread (although it is on Android Central, so you will need to make an account to see all the links if you don't already have one). They are pretty similar (the latter is a bit overboard on detail, but that can be a good thing if you are new to the process) and should at least get you started on learning what it is you need to learn to ultimately wind up at ComRom 2.1. I hope this helps!
Hello. I finally found out what a ROM was and how to use ODIN. I had my Uncle to ROOT my Fascinate when he was down this weekend. Last night, my phone got bricked or stuck in blue recovery and I had to flash it. Or restore it using ODIN. Anyhow, can you tell me the steps to get it rooted again with Odin & Evil Fascination? ClackWorkRecovery caused thus because I couldn't get it to work to install Com rom.

Evil Fascination and Community Rom are two different roms and both will root your phone when flashed... this is how mine's set up for ComRom and it works flawlessly:
1) download odin, samsung mobile phone drivers, debloated/debinged/deodexed EB01 all in one package, CWR3-Voodoo, and ComRom 2.0 package of your choice and the 2.1 patch... place ComRom and its patch onto your sd card
2) use odin to install EB01
3) boot up phone once to let it format itself
4) power off phone and use odin to then install CWR3-Voodoo
5) boot straight into CWR, wipe data/cache/dalvik 3 times each and assuming you don't want to backup/restore data (I usually just use Titanium Backup app from the market) proceed to install .zip of ComRom 2.0
6) select reboot phone and let it boot up, it may take a while the first time
7) congrats, you're rooted and running ComRom 2.0
8) to install the patch simply hold the power button down until the menu pops up, select recovery
9) this will boot you into CWR again, no data/cache wipe necessary simply install .zip ComRom 2.1 patch then reboot phone again
10) congrats now you're rooted, voodoo'd, and running the latest ComRom
hope this helps, that's about as simple and short as I can make it

yeah if you're rooted and running the baseband you want (ED01 or whatever) the boot into CWR and flash the rom you want... you're going to need to do a data/cache/dalvik wipe before flashing the initial ComRom 2.0 package so make any backups you want.. once its done installing reboot phone to make sure everything works right, then boot back into recovery and flash the patch (no wiping or anything needed) any questions or problems be sure to post them

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
Hasnt done me wrong yet...no fc...no boot loops just flash a holic goodness!

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.

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.

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!

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!!
Hi, I'm currently on simply honey3.91 gingerbread...I flashed this rom specifically just to be able to use netflix but now it appears that the newest version works on froyo now.. how do I downgrade back to froyo? Froyo had working gps for me which I could never get to work consistently on gb...to have GPS and netflix working on my phone would be great!

Odin back to eclair, root, install rom manager, format sd-card (remove the external sd-card to avoid loosing important data) and flash froyo.

I have gingerbread bootloaders...would that be a problem?
It's not going to be a problem. You may only be annoying by the I1900 when you boot your phone. Regarding formatting your sd-card, to cleanup the left over software components like voodoo folder and data. Re-installing the os on your phone is juts like re-installing os on your pc. Cleanup the left over junk may help saving space and other unforeseen complicated issues.

I have flashed bootloaders both ways. Nothing to worry about as long as you follow the steps. Works like a charm.

I'm thinking of doing this as I cannot seem to get a full workday with relatively light use out of GB right now.
Anyway... where can I find the bootloaders for Froyo and is there a guide to make sure I do this in the right order. I haven't had any issues with all the various flashes and odins that I have done so far, but with CM7 on board I know that it's quite a bit different now.
I tried using the XDA search for bootloaders and basically got this an other similar threads.
I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990 which looks like I already had stock bootloader, but I wasn't sure if that is correct.
Yeah, that's the right place. Just click on the "Froyo Bootloader Revert to Vibrant" link to download the original bootloaders. It should be a .tar file. Flash through Odin with the same steps, but just use the Froyo BL .tar instead of the GB one and BOOM!
In like tube socks!
Oh yeah... don't forget that the button combo for the GB bootloaders is different. It's just volume up + power.
Hey, everyone. I've been having this problem a lot... when I was on CM7, about once a month everything would force close. First an app (xScope, Twicca, anything), then GApps, then my keyboard... the phone starts FCing everything within about an hour of being turned on. In the past, I've just fully wiped the phone... I'm on Pool Party now (the version before the newest one right now), and everything is FCing again. Is there a solution that isn't just "wipe everything?"
Did you make any drastic changes before it started force closing everything or has it been that way since you flashed the new ROM? Or was your ROM working fine in the past and it mystically started happening
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
This just mystically started today. It's been about a month and a half since the last time this happened, on CM7.
My phone got all screwed up one time when I installed either a bad gapps zip or the wrong one and I ended up having to wipe everything and start over to get out of that mess, although it's weird it randomly is happening to you.
I highly recommend the new ics roms

@OP... I installed TSM Pool Party, flashed gapps for CM7, [big mistake???] and then today everything FC. Couldn't load my browser, only ADWlauncher and perhaps a few other apps I tried worked.
I tried flashing the correct gapps, not sure if it fixed it, rebooting now. if not I will have to reflash tsm pool party.
@above poster, where is this new ICS fascinate rom? Is it stable?
GApps is GApps, man. Wondering if it's a sync issue...

Yeah the ics ROM is very stable, I love it. Go to Google and type in "rootzwiki fascinate ics build 6" and you should find it on the rootzwiki website. Let me know if you end up using it and if you like it or even if you need help...I have encountered most problems people have had so I experienced them first hand lol

Gonna boot my phone up for the first time in 24 hours, maybe it's calmed down. I'd love to switch to ICS, but this isn't solving my "I don't want to wipe everything AGAIN" ordeal.

Yeah I understand you on that...makes you sick to your stomach when you lose everything. Did you not have any backups of when your phone was in its working state? Backups are one of the most important things in my opinion. I learned the hard way

I haven't done a proper backup in a while. I should really start doing that, sigh.

boot into cwm and wipe cacnhe and dalvik. I normally do this once a week. Also if you have alot of apps downloaded to the internal memory this can happen. Check rootzwiki out for a thread about fixing the datadata force close issues.

Ah nice. I was hoping to see a stable ICS. So, it says there's no video hardware acceleration.. does that mean future updates will bring hardware acceleration for the fasciante? like h264 mkv's, or h264 mp4's, or even mpeg4 avi's? tsm/jt's rom doesn't have good video hardware support, MX video has to use SW almost all the time.
So I think I would like to check it out, but I wish I knew about it before I went through all the trouble last night to reflash and reinstall all my apps.. [was up till 3am working on it] lol
any major troubles with it? Also what CWM do I use? Perhaps the one on the CM7 fascinate wiki? [cwm4-bml-i500.tar] or the cwm 5.0.2.7 in vanilla gb?
Also do I need to odin it to anything? or can I go from what I've got now [tsm pool party]?
I've had no major troubles with the past 2 builds and definitely build 6 is the best. Not exactly sure what is meant by the hardware acceleration but everything about this ROM runs smooth. As for cwm version, just install any cwm and the ics ROM has its own that it will install. Once it installs it's own, it is recommended to not flash a new kernel once it does it's own because the one it puts on has stuff built in to make all the features work.
As for Odin, hmm....too be safe I would go back to stock and then throw a cwm kernel on. Then do a wipe data + cache and install build 5. Make sure it is running good then just clear cache and install build 6
Do a backup before you start all this just to be safe!!

I'm not sure if you have to or not, probably don't actually I'm not sure why I said that lol...I guess in my situation I had troubles along the way so I started at build 3 and worked my way up.
just go straight to build 6 and in that case wipe data and cache. And I still would go to stock first because I read somewhere that it best to go from the bml based versions to mtd.
I would then update your radio to EH03 if it isn't already

awesome... yes I was planning on Odin'ing again, because I've found it gives the rom you flash after it better chance of survival.
It is a inconvenience though because I have to boot up W7 [Dual boot Linux] every time I wanna Odin.. haha, same thing back when I used my ipod touch for iTunes.
So what radio does the ics build 6 have? can they not use the eh03 radio [I'm assuming is superior to whatever it has]? And I assume heimdall can flash the "modem.bin" radio that I untar from the "CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5" like so:
heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
right?
The ics builds don't have a specific radio, it doesnt mess with the radio you currently have, so whatever radio you have now is what you will have after the rom. I just didn't know what radio you had now, and the reason i recommend the EH03 is because it is the newest stock radio from verizon - meaning it is definitely reliable.
I'm not sure what you mean by untaring the .tar file. Odin uses the .tar file, so do not untar the file, just leave it the way it is. Unless you mean you can specifically take the radio.tar file out from the other tar file. I have the EH03_radio.tar file so if you wanted it i could upload it somewhere and give you the link. Odin back to any stock firmware, then load a cwm recovery as well as the EH03 radio.

sorry... what I meant is, I know how to extract the EH03 modem.bin file out of the ".tar.md5" file for the stock Verizon eh03 firmware.
I know how to flash CWM with heimdall, but I guess I do not need to flash the radio [ right? ] because I just came from a fresh eh03, completely wiped, cache, dalvik, and..... urmm, it is showing the same animation I had back on "Eclipse ROM" for Droid X2... ew... For some reason I do not like that particular animation. I guess you can change the boot animation though?

Use the program "odin" to flash all your .tar.md5 files. You don't extract those files, you leave them in the .tar format. I gave you the link to download specifically the eh03 radio, but if you have it already on your phone you dont need to worry about it. As for the boot animation, the ics rom will install its own boot animation so no worries there.
You know about odin right? It is definitely the easiest way to flash kernels, radios, and stock firmware.
