I've seen a lot of threads about Odin and recently rooted my friend's Droid Charge. I had flawless results and another friend who wants his Samsung Fascinate rooted and a custom ROM installed.
I greatly enjoyed using the Odin software and I am wondering if I follow the instructions on this thread (switching out for a Fascinate compatible Odin rom of course) I will get the same result on the Fascinate as I did on the Charge?
Otherwise if that one won't work, I am specifically interested in a root using Odin thread for the Fascinate (I did search but haven't had much luck with it.). Thought I would ask the experts

I completely new to the whole flashing and custom rom thing. I've never tried anything like it and don't know much about it. The closest I've come to hacking or rooting my Vibrant phone is with the OCLF app. Now, I too have been patiently waiting for Froyo to come out and for some reason when it did come out I was hesitant to get it. I wanted to see what people were saying about it before I downloaded and installed it. So far from what I'm seeing, its not all its cracked up to be and it seems like Froyo for the Vibrant is "meh" for most. This is a bummer to me but I kept hearing about using a custom and its advantages. Thankfully I bumped into a very useful thread posted by xriderx66 on his reviews on some of the roms out now. Based on what he said, I'm looking to flashing my phone to the Bionix-V Rom by Team Whiskey. Problem is I have no idea how to get started. What do I need to do to flash my phone? Any program I need to download first? How do I backup my files? I'm such a noob at this its funny but I'm willing to take the risk and experience this phone the way it should be experienced. If someone can post a link showing a step by step on how to do the whole thing I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance
Go to the development thread and browse through the stickies. Reading and more reading should be the first two things you do. Pay attention to anything relating to odin.

Your welcome. Let me know if you run into any issues.

That thread he posted for you is the best information I have been able to find for someone that is just getting started. I too am just kinda dancing around flashing bionix v. I have rooted and downloaded rom manager and clockwork though...just about ready to flash as soon as I gather up the courage. But everything I have done up to this point was learned in the Noob Guide he linked. Its like vibrant flashing for dummies.

Will do jbat! Once again thanks. @ goodvibrant, I hear you. Tomorrow when I have the time I will flash this phone to the Bionix thanks to this noob guide. I took a look at the guide and it seems pretty easy to follow. I look forward to it!

You will be lucky if you don't get flamed for such a question.. I will tell you there is a one click root you can use on your computer. I will also let you know you can search for it on these forums and with google.. And lastly, YOU NEED to research a little before you can just do these things to your phone..you can FUBAR it. Flashing 2.2 is a pretty wild goal for having a question like this.. Read the sticky in this forum called beginners.. And check the included links..when your a little more familiar with things and have some better questions I will be more than glad to help.. Good luck

I have to agree with neh4pres above. There are sticky threads and a thread clearly saying walkthrough for EB01 in the development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
This will provide you with everything you need. Remember to READ carefully, read again, and then read again. Too many people dont read the instructions and end up with problems on their phone.

Hello and welcoming myself to this new community of SGS 2 users. Coming from the HTC Desire section, I am quite confounded (entirely my own fault, of course) by the sheer confusion between the "Original Development" and the, uh, "Derivative Development" sections. More on that later, but...
Now what's REALLY confusing me is the complete lack of a start to finish rooting guide, or even a CWM guide for the SGS2 in the forum. Does anyone around have good link, and also where should I go to for my first ROM? Any ideas?
Go for the big well-known roms to start. VillainROM, Cognition or Lightning Rom. They all have tutorials to flash the specific roms when coming from stock.
I came from the Desire too, the weird thing about the SGS2 is that you flash roms that have the root installed in there. So you flash a rom with a rooted kernel inside of it, your phone is rooted. Change the kernel only to a stock one, root is gone.
So check the rom threads.

also here is a good collection of shipped roms and another rooting guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
i used the latter to root my phone yesterday, a first for me, since this is my first android phone, and it worked at once and it took less than 10 minutes till i was up and running again.
Why don’t we all take a breather and don't mistreat the newbie..I mean the new user.
Don't make me get on my high horse....it won't be pretty
Cheers,
As MTM said, take a couple of breaths and learn how to be nice to your fellow forum members. Next person to be disrespectful will earn a temporary ban. You have been warned.
It took me a while to get up to speed with the way things are here too.
The usual steps would be:
- download a stock rom
- flash cf-root
- choose your custom rom
From here onwards, its an ocean of info.

Yeah... getting up to speed here is a little difficult. I came from the HTC Desire, so I was pampered, of sorts, by the fullness of guides there.

There are no pretty guides because , its so extremely easy to root SGS2 , all you do is flash "cf kernel with CWM" via ODIN = done you rooted
Then you have CWM recovery and you can flash any SGS2 ROM. No need for any hacks or exploits.

I was confounded by the mere mention of ODIN. Apparently, everybody knew where to download/get it and how to use it but nobody provided a link. I sorted that out anyway.
I had to appreciate the relative openness of Samsung vs. HTC at this point

Welcome to the sgsii forums! I hope more and more people jump on the international bandwagon. I came from the samsung captivate forums so this wasn't that big of a difference. I think over time this forum will get better and more organized, as it's still relatively new.

Hey guys i updated to 2.3.3
i thot my root was still good cause i can still install apps from sd..
so recently i downloaded root toolbox..
when i opened it it says please root device before use...
so googled 2.3.3 fascinate root..
i tried super one click no success..
so i found a tutorial that uses odin..
so it seemed to have worked but the phone did not stop rebooting?
so flash it back with factory ROM found on the same page of tutorial..all good..
tried to re install superuser..still the same?
is this version rootable or what??
Fascinate from telus 2.3.3 kernel 2.6.35.7-t959tlkg2
This can be answered with research.
Please refrain from posting questions in the General section. Use Q&A.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
2.3 is rootable but the easiest method is just to flash an already rooted rom (such as pwgb) to your phone.
and yes, please take a minute to familiarize yourslf with the forum rules. Thank you.

The new phones should already come with MF9. At the least MDL. If they don't do the update at best buy you can do it yourself. It is very easy. And rooting is a sinch..just use Auto root and there is a video tutorial by QBKing77 that is stickiedm follow directions and you can root within 5 mins.
