so you have a stock Vibrant...you wanna overclock?
Are you rooted? Im pretty sure that too run a different kernel you need a diffrent rom other than the stock JFD.
You might get more answers if you posted in the right section.
Its the ji6 I think

dont bother giving him crap just help the guy. mods can clean it up and move it later.
ok well 1st off - know that what your about to do can potentially brick or damage your device and that myself,xda,jesus, mary and the hly ghost, the hobo behind the walmart and your aunt frank have nothing to do with this so you can only blame yourself
i would get to know ODIN real well first off. make sure you are able to get into download mode. via the hardware method OR ADB
use the Vibrant bible to find info on that.
I apologize guys I'm assuming this belongs in q&a

Not trying to be a wiseguy but:
Read the "Vibrant directory ( Bible ) and search this forum. Look for the subjects you're interested in. All questions are answered you just need to study before you start.
Learn how to use odin - if you follow the links you will have everything you need to get back to stock in an emergency.
Read about and learn how to use one click root.
Read about and learn how to use Rom Manager to flash roms
Use Titanium backup to backup your apps
Good luck and have fun!
Ok real quick I have odin I have the stock vibrant rom from xda I am pretty good with this stuff just new to this phone I also have a few roms but kinda wanna wait for 2.2 but would like a new kernel I have rom manager and a back up of my rom but I am having a problem getting adb to work just been using the terminal apk but I need help.with this and thank you for your time

im currently rolling TeamWhiskeys Obsidian V2
its a 2.2 Froyo based off the tmobile leak
everything works as it should and its fast and very stable.
OP you need to spend a couple hours reading and understanding several things. Most if not all you need is in the vibrant bible thread. If you can't get adb to work its almost always the driver. Must understand odin just in case something goes wrong. Its hard to truely brick this phone but not impossible.

Echo,echo...read the Bible. And also the Tips and Tricks thread. Basically all the ones that are Stickies. I came from a stock blackberry with no knowledge and I've successfuly flashed at several Roms and kernels and soft bricked a few times. The stickies saved me.

No, that only saves your data and apps. You need to save it or you can use the ones located in the vibrant library. You can always revert back to stock using odin but do so AT YOUR OWN RISK... Good luck

The Bible is the greatest thing EVER.
Just seriously use how to use Odin. If you can learn how to get into download mode consistently and connect to odin successfully you will be fine. Then learn how to use recocery, which is very easy on the vibrant. you just install ROM manager from the market and flash clockwork mod recovery. learn how to backup and restore and you can flash things through recovery. Zips are for recovery, and Tar files are for Odin. If you want to OC i recommend "Corev2" by team whiskey (since JAC has dissapeared) which works with most ROMs and should work well with stock rooted. There is Odin files and zip files for stock kernels, jfd and ji6, which you could just flash over if you dont like it. Nandroid backups dont backup kernels, so make sure you have the right kernel on when you restore something. You can find everything in the BIBLE like everyone has told you to try. One word of the wise, if you load a Froyo 2.2 on your phone and then revert back to 2.1, make sure you flash a 2.1 kernel first before you restore. So many people think they brick after they do that.
And usually if you are waiting for official firmware, it appears here on XDA ready to flash (i flashed official ji6 before it was availible OTA) at some point. I would recommend you use a rooted ji6 ROM with Corev2 (and possibly the ji2 modem to save battery life but i like the ji6 modem) this will let you OC and UV without setcpu. this is kind of a scattered response but im just trying to help. I am running AOSP jk2 1.1 by Anderdroid and i LOVE IT.
It looks like you have everything ready on your phone.
Just learn Odin, you don't really need ADB. Make sure your phone can go into the download mode via the vol up and vol down key and connect USB cable for download mode. Its a Triangle Icon with android robot with shovel.
There you should load the Pit file and Tar file to flash back to Stock in case you brick you phone. As far as flashing ROM goes, remember this!!
If you flash a 2.1 Kernel + ROM like Fusion 1.2, and create a Nandroid backup through ClockWork. Then decided to go to a Froyo 2.2 kernel + ROM like Obsidian or MacnutR11 to try out. Do not restore Nandroid backup to 2.1, it will brick your phone requring u to ODin back to stock.
Bottom line 2.1 ROM will not work with 2.2 kernel and 2.1 kernel will not work with 2.2 ROM. Don't mix them up.
Basically if you are running a 2.1 kernel + rom, then switch to 2.2 kernel and rom. For some reason you don't like it, make sure you flash back to 2.1 kernel + rom instead of doing a nandroid restore.
Okay, I have my galaxy rooted and CWM installed for recovery, how do I install the rom? When I just install the ROM it reboots into recovery after I rebot it, and after 2 reboot it just hangs at the samsung logo. Is there something else I need to do other than just intsall the rom, my goal is to install this theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985689
Are you running on 2.1 android or 2.2?
If you are trying to flash EC01debloated, it is not a full rom. You need a touchwiz rom before flashing it.
I would suggest to install Adrynalines EC01 rom and radio first and follow all his directions(very important), then flash EC01 debloated

i predict you will now be flamed repeatedly for posting a question in the wrong section.
fyi, questions go in the q and a section.
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?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA
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.
I flashed CM7 using ODIN and everything went perfectly. I have had a few issues with my new rom but it is still much better than stock. Now That im thinking about upgrading to cm9, i need to make a nandroid back up. Do I flash CWM in rom manager and make a nandroid that way? secondly, can i install cm9 over cm7 or do i need to revert back to stock then flash cm9?

I want to install this ROM to my phone:

and this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252871
I recently had gotten my phone stuck at the SAMSUNG logo because of a voodoo issue, but have since resolved it.
What I did was:
1. Flash over a stock DI01 image over ODIN which put me on 2.1
2. Using the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki, flash CWM over Heimdall
3. Wiped Data and Cache and then attempted to flash the ROM through CWM
But a little bit in the phone reboots and gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo again so I had to restore to stock, again.
So now I am at stock 2.1 I haven't been in the android scene for a long time and I forget a lot about flashing ROM's. Could someone please point out the proper way to do this?

Thanks, i'll give that a try.
In case you were wondering, what you were doing wrong was that you tried to go directly from Gingerbread to ICS without flashing THS build 1 first. Also, that kernel is for GB, not ICS.
