if you have d109 the one click root doesnt work.. ur going to have to use adb and force push the files to your phone..
okay, how do I do that? sorry, I am new to this, and can't find the actual android debug bridge app, nor can I find how to use it to push the files with it properly.
now I'm really confused, I downloaded the sdk tools, which supposedly have adb in it, but cannot find it after having it download everything checked by default, wtf!?
This will get you root:

Trying to help
what radio are you currently running? if DL09 dont worry about root. Let me know were you are at.
I'll walk you through it.
To root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470
1) Download and open ODIN
2) On your phone go to setting/applications/development and check usb debuging.
3) download the fascinate drivers on your computer and install them. they can be
here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I500RKAVZW
4) place the update.zip on your sd card
5) take the battery out of your phone and plug into your computer with the usb
cable.
6) hold the volume down button until a yellow triangle appears
7) place the ODIN file into the PDA section. NOT THE PHONE
8) start and wait til its finished.
9) put your battery back in, unplug and turn your phone on.
10) download superuser from the market. Note: the market it currently down for
some.
You are now rooted
2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499
1) download the NEW CWM RECOVERY and DL30 rom and kernal and place them
on your sd card
2) turn off your phone
3) old down both volume buttons then the power button. Let go of the power
button and then the volume. This is take you to a blue or green. If it goes to
blue go to apply update.zip. this will take you to the green screen.
4) now just follow the steps 2-5 at the URL above

I'm on stock DL01 about to flash it to DL09 but I'm getting so confused on all the CMW. Could you post a link to the correct CWM for DL09 and then for DL30 please? Also, can you check over these steps.
1) Start: Stock DL01 (Rooted, No CWM)
2) Flash DL09.tar.md5
3) Install correct CWM for DL09 (Is this possible without rooting DL09 as you said?)
4) Flash DL30
5) Install correct CWM for DL30
6) Use CWM to delete data, cache, etc
7) Finish
roboliger see my post above (#5). the first one will give you CWM for DLO9. The second one will walk you through flashing DL30 (froyo). Make sure you clear data before and not after you flash DL30 and the new CWM.

I'm on vzw's dl09, I'll try those steps, thank you.
Ok so I Flashed DL09 Pda'd that clockwork thing then installed rom manager. Rom manager said i didnt root my phone yet and that it couldnt find superuser at /system/bin/su and i installed superuser.
I get all kinds of errors when trying to run clockworks rom manager. the one they noticed and it gives an error in flashing the old clockwork mod. not to mention I get: an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands! when I try to reboot into recovery mode.
Delete everything. Wipe your phone thru Settings/Privacy .. you will have to reactivate your phone.
Download this package: http://www.multiupload.com/C0HFVLSI22
Use ODIN to flash the package. THEN download Rom Manager from App Market and click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. This will install the OLD CWM which is the cleanest and should not need to add the "update.zip". Reboot into Recovery and go from there .. install from zip etc. etc.

You shouldn't need the dl09 to get to dl30. I was on dl01 and went straight to dl30.
With a nice clean phone on dl01 flash the .tar file I posted via ODIN (PDA).
How long does the wiping data... in clockwork mod generally take? Mine has been at it for about 10mins or so...
btw, I'm on step 3 of installing DL30.

So, over in the i9000 forum z4ziggy has been working on z4mod, it is similar to Voodoo, it completely replaces the file system with ext*.
Check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797672
Currently our kernel only supports ext2, which is sad, but here is the patched kernel, apply it with odin in the PDA slot.
Download kernel (Froyo 2.2):
http://www.multiupload.com/N1OUL0ZYYN
Download Odin:
http://www.multiupload.com/KK1GOK9SYT
Next you will need to run this zip from rom manager, the patched kernel has a borked version of 2e recovery that doesnt let you select anything, so if it fails, you will need to reboot and try again with rom manager.
Download EXT2 zip:
http://www.sgscompilebox.dreamhosters.com/files/z4mod.ext2.update.zip
If you want to revert back for whatever reason, just use this.

Download recovery.
Reboot into recovery.
If it doesn't go into Clockwork (green screen) automatically, just in regular recovery, select reinstall packages. Should reboot into Clockwork.
Thanks, i think my problem was that i had never gone into clockwork mod recovery before. With the modified kernel it is impossible to reinstall packages. I flashed to cog 2.2 kernel then reinstalled packages. Then flashed back to modified kernel. Now it should work.
EDIT: Worked
I need some help. I have been looking to update my epic to 2.2 and I am interested in either installing the leaked 2.2 update or a custom rom. I want to be able to revert back to stock in case a legit update is released. I currently only have access to an Apple but will have access to a PC in the not so distant future. I have looked at some threads but they arent very clear cut for people without experience.
Thanks!!
To get to the leaked DK28, just download the leaked update.zip (LINK with instructions) and flash it through your phones recovery menu. Boot into recovery with PWR+Camera+Vol Down buttons and hold the keys til you get to the recovery menu, and if your phone is already booted, additionally hold Volume Up to initiate a reboot. This will remove any root that you have installed, so might as well do this first if your gonna upgrade to 2.2.
If you want to root and install CWM, there is a oneclick for OSX, but it uses an older joey-krim root method, but if your gonna flash a custom rom anyway, it wont matter. Here is the LINK to the OSX one click root and CWM.
Lastly, if everything goes pear shaped, be prepared to use Odin to restore your phone back to stock, but that WILL require a Windows PC.
Thanks,
I rooted and then tried to load the dk28 from the update.zip. I keep getting an error when I try and run the update.zip from the recovery mode. I am wondering if it is due to the root. Is there a way I can uninstall the root via osx?
If you can get to a computer I would use Odin to update to dk28. That way if the ota comes and youwant o go back to stock you can just Odin back to stock to get the ota

First, did you rename it to update.zip? is it in the root folder of your sdcard? and are you trying to flash the update.zip through CWM or the stock recovery? CWM has green text, and you need to use the camera button to make selections, and the stock recovery has blue text, and you need to use the home button to make selections. If flashing through CWM, try flashing through stock recovery (goto advanced, and choose 'reboot recovery', it should take you to stock, I think ). If that still doesn't work, try downloading the zip file once again to make sure everything is complete.
Alternately, try the modem and rom from THIS post, as this will enable you to update your DI18 modem to DK28 through CWM (note, this is usually not the case, and only possible when an update.zip is released including the delta file for that modem, i.e specifically for changing from DI18 to DK28 only) and also allow you to load a prerooted DK28 stock rom without using Odin.

yes, yes, both (while clockwork was installed), i tried downloading the update multiple times. I unrooted and saw the same issues. I am not sure how to get rid of the clockworkmod but I am not sure if this would affect it.
In that case, read the second paragraph in my previous post to update through CWM

I read the thread and I am not quite sure how to go about the process. Can you enlighten me. Thanks!!
Flash the two zips (rom and modem) through CWM... I would flash the modem first (the second link) then flash the DK28 rom...
So, download the zip files and copy them to your sdcard (no need to rename or anything), boot into CWM, choose 'install zip from sdcard', choose the zip file containing the modem (http://firon.net/xda/stock.dk28.modem.update.signed.zip)... this will update the modem on the phone to the newest version... then do the same thing for the DK28 rom (http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/noobnl.MODS+STOCK.DK28.update[HOTFIX].zip). When all done, back out to the main menu and choose 'reboot system now', and when your phone boots up, you should have DK28 Froyo 2.2.1.
If you run into any force close issues, I would suggest going back into CWM and doing a 'wipe data/factory reset', and also 'wipe cache partition', then reflash the rom again. If you dont have anything important on the phone (like if your contacts are all saved with your google account instead of just on the phone), then I would suggest doing it right off the bat. This will erase any programs you have downloaded, text messages, etc.

If you are just looking to go to 2.2, Odin is easiest IMO.
Here are the stock files:

Here are the step by step instructions to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138
For custom roms, it gets more cloudy because some (only a few) require CWM 3 and some (most I think) work on CWM 2.5 or earlier but not CWM 3. Just read through the requirements of the rom before attempting to install. I found Randy Shear's vids on youtube to be very helpful when reading through these threads only got me so far.
I agree, Odin probably is the easiest method, but the OP states that he only has access to a Mac at the moment, and not a PC.
First off let me just say I wanted to post this in the thread but it said I haven't met some kind of requirement to post yet.
My question is I have read about rooting etc etc but being that this is my first time I didnt want to screw up so because Kaos's leak is pre rooted do I need to still root my phone or will this do it for me?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
No, the ROM is pre-rooted already so you don't need to root once installed.
However, the ROM is installed through Clockwork Recovery, so that means that you need to have ROM Manager and Clockwork Recover Mod installed, which, will require that your phone is rooted..
You can find the threads in this forum that show you how to install all that..
When using ODIN, be sure to use "PDA" and not "Phone".. if you use Phone, you will end up with a paper weight...
Good luck!
You need to root your phone first
will not be able to install

How do I root a fascinate when it's on 2.1 update 1?
I believe you can flash CWM via download mode w/ Odin, and then flash the 2.2 leak+kernel with that, so technically you don't need to be rooted to install this, provided you have access to the proper equipment.
SOrry this is a duplication. I asked in another thread but was stepped on by VooDoos and such.
I have a stock rom. It USED to show as DI01. I did figure out how to root it, and just now noticed that it is showing as DH12 (baseband version AND build number), no longer DI01.
So, I need to update it first, before I can install DL30, correct?
I have a DL09.tar.tar file.
I have ODIN3.exe.
I have the DL30-leak.zip.
I have no clue what a CWM is or how to use/install it.
Where can I find the steps to get me to DL30?
Thanks.

Waw. OK. If you are on a plain DH12 with no Clockwork Mod Recovery installed, then you need to do a lot of steps. I'm just going to give you a high level overview and not going into details. You find the details and make sure you understand.
1. Make sure you install USB drivers and that your computer can see your phone when plugged in.
2. Install ODIN in your computer
3. Use ODIN to flash the DL09.tar via PDA! (Very important!)
4. Once you are on DL09. Get the CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470 and flash with ODIN via PDA. (never on Phone)
5. Get also the update.zip from that thread and put it in the root of your SD card.
6. Then go to Market and get ROM Manager, then install Clockwork Recovery through ROM Manager.
7. Now to install DL30: (look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499)
a. Get the "New" CWM .zip file and put it in your SD card.
b. Put the DL30.zip in your SDCard.
c. Boot into CW Recovery mode from ROM Manager, you should see the Green Clockwork Recovery mode.
d. Apply the new CWM .zip via "choose .zip from SD card"
e. Apply the DL30.zip same way.
f. Wipe data, cache and Devilk cache (in the Advanced menu).
g. Reboot.. and voila !
Lean how to use CWM first (how to navigate, etc).. Good luck!

You can flash the Odin ROM without root. That will root and install the proper kernel for you... then use CWM to flash whatever ROM you want to use.
Or you can flash the complete odin package for 2.2 thats on the Continuum Development section.
Which will also make your device rooted

You don't want to rename the rom zip. You have to use the Cyan CWM update.zip, which is here: http://www.4shared.com/file/cLdwKNsU/update.html
I don't know if the other links posted are for the same file, but that's the one that works with Froyo.
You must have the cwm update.zip on your flash card. When you start up in recovery, you'll need to select apply update.zip. Use the volume rocker to highlight update.zip, and tap the menu soft-key to select. Once in CWM, the power button is select, and the back soft-key is back. You'll want to select the menu option to install zip from sd card, select zip to install, and browse to where you saved the rom file.
If all else fails, I'll be uploading a super-clean debinged ROM in the next few days. Once it's up, just flash via Odin as you did with adrynalyn's cwm recovery image.
Video Provided by qbking77: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWOLEXqAeCc
Will update the process into a more east to read format as soon as I can.
This isnt a question anymore because the method I will explain below works perfectly. Thanks to Gjones77, Stilesja, marcasant, Mkasik, xBTx and chrisott9628 as well as the acs team for providing the tools needed to root the OTA.
first you need to install the OTA either through the OTA method or through the Google link method.
Next you need to go to the ACS forums and Download the ACS recovery 1.0.0.5.tar.md5 file, http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Epic%2FACSRecovery%2F
You will need this file as well http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
Edit: see the 2 options below first so that you can retain CWM on your phone after reboot as samsung put a script in their kernel that will flush it out after reboot.
You will also need to have the latest version of Odin, Odin3 v1.85.
1) confirm you have gingerbread EI22.
2) download the 2 files above (you can use CWM purple version as well if you dont want the acs Recovery.)
3) Put the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip file onto your sdcard and turn off the phone.
4) Boot into Download mode by holding the 1 key on the keyboard and the power key
5) open odin and connect the phone to the computer, one of the ID:com boxes will light up to confirm it is connected.
6) put the ACSrecovery.tar.md5 file into the PDA area of odin, make sure everything is uncheck except Auto-reboot and hit start.
7) if done correctly your phone should reboot directly into ACS recovery mode.
8) once in recovery flash the Su-***** .zip file then reboot the phone.
9) If CWM does not stick due to the added script Samsung embedded in the phone kernel you should see below. There are thus far, 2 possible options, Option 1 will give you the Keyboard fix with a relatively Stock experience and Option 2 will give you a Deodexed Rom, nubernal, the keyboard fix and the GPS fix.
Thought id add something to this first:

***UPDATE***
Apparently Samsung included a script that reflashes the stock recovery upon boot, so if you install a custom recovery (ACS or CWM) it will overwrite it upon boot.

You can also make your CWM override the built in Samsung issue as well as add the nubernal. To do this, follow the steps up until you get into ACS recovery or CWM and flash the .zip in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339579 rather than the Su.zip file. This will completely fix your GPS and CWM problems as well as deodex the EI22 version you have.
***UPDATE***
Apparently Samsung included a script that reflashes the stock recovery upon boot, so if you install a custom recovery (ACS or CWM) it will overwrite it upon boot.
Pretty freaking sneaky I gotta say...

I used ACS CWM4 and it worked without issue.
so just flash purple over ota and you can then flash SU.zip? Cool thanks.
Does the ACS CWM go in PDA or Phone in Oden?

I used PDA.
I updated Superuser in the market and lost root capabilities. Uninstalled the update and it has worked fine.
I just noticed that metalblaster said "so just flash purple" after chrisott9628 said to use the ACS CWM. Does it matter which one you use?
i just assumed purple because it was odin that was being used to add it.
I tried to download the .zip of the ACS recovery, but got file not found. Anyone have a working copy/link/mirror?

I can confirm that this doesnt not infact work for me at least. Ive tryed every odin version as well as renaming the file to a .Tar rather than .md5 as well as using the .md5 and the .zip files. Its no use.
Actually as soon as i posted this i tried the file posted above to try to get CWM and it worked like a charm. You need to place the .md5 file into the pda portion of odin3 v1.85 and check only auto reboot. If done correctly the phoen should boot into CWM directly and then you can flash the Su.zip file to gain root.
***NOOB ALERT***
I asked this in another thread, but its way more appropriate here:
Would Gingerbreak work on EI22? I used it last week to root EC05 and flash Toadlife's EH17 stability rom. It installs a slightly older version of CWM (I think), but it also installs Superuser.
Just wondering.

No, Gingerbreak hasn't worked since v2.3.3 I think/
Both cwm purple and acs recovery should work without any issues.

Dang, too bad. It was super easy to use. I am new to rooting, and it made it a lot less scary.

If i'm understanding this right, put thw cwm/acs recovery on the sdcard, reboot into stock recovery and update? Do I need to rename the zips?

I tried it and when rebooting, it reboots into the phone (not into CWM). I reboot the phone with the 3 finger salute and it is still the stock recovery. Odin shows that the recovery flash was successful.
EDIT - Nevermind - was using a downlevel ODIN.
