Find my guide in the general section and look up section5
You do not need to root to install Miui.
There are reasons to root a stock rom, but there seems to be a general misconception on why you root, and when to root.

This!!! I missed the miui part....yea no need to root if your flashing a custom rom!!!
I think a lot of people are used to other phones like HTC and Motorola where you have to be rooted to flash roms. I thought it was weird too when I first got the fascinate coming from those other brands. I like that Samsung leaves the security essentially wide open on their devices.
Yeah I have a evo 3d running miui and my buddy wants it. What's the way you guys recommend

lol wow i had no idea that you did not have to be rooted, like the above guy said im a HTC guy and its just the way im used to doing things.
My buddy is jumping up and down right now like a little douche nozzle.
If he still wants to root, SuperOneClick is the easiest. Just make sure usb debugging is on.
Just Odin cwm4 fixed for cm7. Then flash miui in cwm. Su is preinstalled on miui.

Hi everyone, this its my first post in the XDA forums yey!!! And the question of the day from me is, is there a clean nice way to root the telus fascinate 4g??? I saw the other posts on it and some soft bricking was happening, not to nice. I tried super one click and it hung on the 6 th step. If anyone can help out or direct me in the right direction that would be great!!

Sorry, not at this moment.
There isn't a quick way to root 2.3.4 Gingerbread phones in general, and the T959P is more of a niche model.
I am in the exact same boat as you Greatcdn. I do not want to overclock my phone nothing like that I just want to be able to remove some files I cannot remove without having root on my phone.
Hey thanks for the reply! Hmm yeah this kinds sucks, I like
GB but it would be great rooted!!! Maybe a clean method will come or soon enough.

Is there anyway to downgrade the firmware???
I just got the 4G as a gift and I'd like to try to root it.
I'm guessing the rooting methods are different from the original fascinate?
Thanks,
newbie

I just gave up my EVO which I was a pro at rooting. I am totally lost with the GS2. Is there something similar to unrevoked.com ? Who are the more popular GS2 developers? I was a Fan of Virus Roms, MikG, and Energy Roms. Thanks in advance for your help.

Rooting the SGS2 is really easy, all you need todo is flash a kernel.
Recovery and the kernel are fused together, whenever you flash a kernel you are flashing recovery, so to get CWM you need a kernel with CWM.
No such thing as S-off (unlocked bootloaders woo!)
A good guide to everything, clickme
The modem is almost unbrickable (people have recovered form flashing a i9000 modem by just flashing a new modem)
You never need to put a .pit into odin or repartition.
The current ICS leaks are unstable and not really daily drivers.
Stock roms download links plus howto
Carrier branded firmware
Easiest way to root
As far as popular roms, poke around the original android section, pretty much all the roms in there are good.
My personal favs are in my sig
Thanks, a lot to take in. Ill read up.

So if I want to set up my phone like yours with the Hyperdroid...... is there an easy way to do it? I managed to root the phone, as I now have superuser on it. Not sure what I need, or dont need. I really would like the battery to display % like my evo did instead of the green battery.
Thanks again for helping a newbe out. Im sure I will love this phone..... Allready got 14MBPS download on 4g WOW
one more Thing, I have the Tmobile GS2. Will the hyperdroid work with this????
If I have a,rooted GS2, should I not upgrade software that Tmobile pushes to the phone?

T Mobile USA SGS2 or Tmobile UK or other country? From your sig it seems you have the USA one.
If its the USA version, you are in the wrong forum. You need to go here
As all the software in here will not run on it
I know the note is very new and I see there are 2 roms out there already! I'm new to att. Coming from sprint and evo..my question is how much dev support will this have? I've never heard of Odin will I have to use it instead of a custom recovery? Will I be able to just root and use cwm or twrp to flash roms themes etc..? I have 30 days to test phone. While I do love it I worry about dev support. Thinking if we will get aosp or miui love? Anyone have any inside news?

Off the cuff? I'd say a bit note than the average Samsung phone, seeing as how it's so awesome. Might take a bit though, Sammy isn't as nice as HTC when it comes to unlocking bootloaders.

Odin is always your fail-safe and safest was to flash...it's really not that hard...
BUT there already is a CWM Beta recovery that works great for the Note. So you will be able to flash everything the way you did on your evo

Actually Samsung doesn't lock their bootloaders. HTC or Verizon does. And yes you will be able to use CWM to flash. There is also been talk that AOKP group is building us a ROM.

You know zip about Samsung phones. Bootloader isn't locked.
This phone will have killer Dev support.

I'm going to go with as much dev support as the Skyrocket. And as much AOSP as the Skyrocket as well. At least for a while.

Let me get out my crystal ball.
I agree that there will be very good dev support. We already have two very excellent devs that have released ROMs and several others working on roots and other tools.
As stated, the CWM beta 3 recovery is getting great reviews.
I say keep the phone but it's your call.
Guyz i just bought this phone, and it is already updated to 2.3.5...im so depressed...is there any way or can u see anything in the near future that will unlock the 2.3.5 bootloader..! bought it online..dont know how to return it back..im stuck with stock rom...i want CM9... Is there any hope..?
No Worries Needed...
well,you can be sure that in closed future you'll be able to unlock your bootloader but till that promotion you can simply root your device,install rom manager,flash clockworkmod recovery.
Start rooting your device here:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.htm

That sux man, I got my mopho off cowboom last week and it came with 2.3.4. If its ang consolation I tried cm9 but it wasnt polished to my liking as of yet (no chrome or opera browser and multitouch games sucked)
Pretty much only thing an unlocked bootloader will allow you is custom kernels and I personally love the stock 2.3.5 kernel

you might want to look into using PROMS to get your modding fix until we find a way around the fuse issue. i believe proms are themed roms that run over stock.

This can only be done with root. But honestly rooting takes 5 minutes and can be reversed so there is no reason not to. Universal deblur, compliments of lokifish.

Okay will this root work with a stock 2.3.5. I've been reading around and more then a couple people reported that you cant root a 2.3.5. I hope this isnt true.
you can very well root a stock 2.3.5. Look for the thread all things root and you will be able to do it

Not possible, if you are on the latest OTA update. And you'd loose 4G if it was possible

He's right. That is an unlocked rom, and you can't unlock if you have taken the 2.3.5 update.
