There's a good tutorial here. It's written for KA6, but it should also apply for KB5.
Or go to the Noob guide in the general section by S15274n It has all the ways in there.........

If you are asking this question you better off unroot.
Try the lazy way, root your phone only when you have to.

Hi
I have read over and over again on how to root and still not understand it. I read wiki and for some reason I dont know if its my computer or my phone anyway I would really really appreciate any help you can give a noob. I have downloaded the froyo eco5. And it stinks and I would really like to learn how to install a custom rom. I used to be able to do it on my Samsung Omnia but that was easier. Im going to be on all afternoon so if someone has the time I would really appreciate it
Thanks
Jeff
Well if u want to root there's a 1 click root in the dev section I would say do the one with clockworkmod 3.0.0.6 it converts u to ext4 and most roms now require clockworkmod 3 anyways. Make sure u read good and have a rom ready to flash cuz if u do cwm3 when u first boot into recovery it will convert u to ext4 and u have to flash a rom right afther its done. DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE until u flash the rom that is very important. Good luck buddy

Watch these videos, if you still can't get it just give up
Don't turn off your phone unless nothing is happening for at least 10 minutes, make sure you have USB debugging on in Settings>Applications>development and do not hit "Connect USB" when using one click root.
Hey guys, I can't seem to find instructions to root my fascinate, running ed05... if someone can link me to those it would be greatly appreciated

Just google it. Takes you right to the site.

I would just flash the powerwashed rom...its already rooted. Read the guide I posted in the q/a section.
If you only want root then type " how to root froyo or gingerbread on fascinate" in google as previously mentioned.
+1 for the power washed rom
Droidstyle posted the "STEP BY STEP " guide, and works FLAWLESSLY , you cant go wrong. very easy to follow.

Yep, google must be broken again and atm I don't have any clean silverware to spoon feed you with. So, it looks like you're gonna have to learn like everyone else. And if worse comes to worse, just throw away your phone and get a bionic, development won't even be an issue with it. Good luck

Hi all. I have searched and searched the forum and been reading numerious posts over the last few weeks and have ended up more confused than ever.
I am fed up with the standard froyo on my uk vodafone defy and want something better. I read good things about cm7 and would like to give it a try, however I am not very technical when it comes to such things, I have found various guides all of which differ, the main cm7 thread on here does not seem to lead me to a download link.
Can anyone help?? idiots guide maybe......
what cm7 do I download and where and how to install.
I really have tried to understand some of the posts but will admit to some of it going straight over my head.
regards

Is your phone rooted already? If so, do you have Clockwork Mod recovery? If not, you have to have that done before flashing a new ROM. If you do a search for the Defy youll find info on how to perform these operations... Cheers

my friend if you cant understand the open discussions here. u can check out youtube. just search it, many good tutorials are available there showing the steps to install cm7.. tutorials by arjoma are really worth and very easy... but suggest you before u try anything on ur fone be equipped with all softwares needed and knowledge.. cuz its little risky .. so prepare and then go ahead .. good luck ..

Hi there! Please watch carefully this video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xSIEx7kiXU
As a suggestion, make sure you have your battery over 80% before starting the process and download all these and put them on your SD Card :
Download SuperOneClick to root here: http://goo.gl/xk0AH
Defy Sndinit apk: http://goo.gl/5P89P
Download the ROM itself: http://goo.gl/XyfLE
Download the Google Apps: http://goo.gl/KMFhq
Oh, and don't forget to install all defy drivers on your PC BEFORE! Good luck !
