I need some assistance please

Hello XDA community. I recently got a new phone from verizon (Galaxy S Fascinate) because their recent update screwed up my other phone (which was rooted) and now I need help getting this phone rooted. Ive seen some videos and they have links to different files in each one. So I was wondering if you the community can help me out here. The drivers I need to get my phone into download mode arent responding. Ive gone to Samsung's support page and they give me the driver, but the laptop isnt recognizing the device. Im sure I have the right one, but in case I dont can someone here lead me to the correct one?
They install fine, but the phone wont connect so I can access files and run it through odin. Below is my phones info. Im on the latest EH03 Software.
Hardware version: I500.04
Model Number: SCH-I500
Firmware Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: S:i500.04 V.EH03

The reason why i will never flash a custom ROM on my SII

For some month's ago i had a Galaxy S Plus and i liked it, but i wanted to flash a custom ROM on it. So i updated it with Odin to the newest stock firmware, and i innstalled Clockworkmod so i could flash a custom ROM.
So i flashed the custom ROM (MoonRom) on it using AROMA innstaller and it went successfully. And i used the ROM for one day, and it was fast, and so on, and had a funny sound when u pressed on the dialer keypad, like a water drop sound
I liked the ROM, but i wanted it back to stock (warranty reasons) .So i put to phone into download mode and i used Odin + the pit file and flashed it back to stock firmware and wiped out and formatted everything on it using recovery mode.
And later i used the phone dialer, and the keypad sounds from the custom ROM was still there, after i reflashed it????
I was extremely confused i flashed a billion stock firmwares on there and that water drop sound when u tapped the dialer keypad was still there. I had formatted it and everything and it was still there after flashing back????
I know own a Galaxy S II, and i will never flash somethign custom on there i am afraid that if i do that and then reflash back. Something on the old rom will ble left.
After that i gave my mom the phone. And i was extremly confused...

Maybe the keypad sound is left on the sd card?

Strange, but I wouldn't give up Roms just because of a water drop sound. To each his own.

Agree with the guy above me. Stock, the phone has way too much bloatware.

So do you know any way to get the keypad sounds back??? And also the keyboard sounds are also left from the custom ROM.

If you flashed back using Odin then its impossible that the sounds remain.
I can make you a flash package that should enable the stock samsung sounds if you really want it? You just have to tell me what firmware you will be running i.e. Gingerbread or ICS?

Flashing roms, tinkering, working out issues and resolving them, making device better is what XDA is about and where the enjoyments is, If you dont like that or dont have the aptitude, patience to learn why are you even here or have a Android device?
My suggestion is to get a Nokia 3310 or an iPhone, Or at least do not come here and bore us with stories about why you dont want to flash your phone.

Ok so just got my nexus 7 and decided to unlock/root and install cwm after that got the goo app to install TWRP got the CM10 rom and the gapps wiped devlark and every thing but now im stuck at the little boot screen with cyanogenmod logo? I suffer from a brain dis-function and find it hard to understand so maybe im missing something please can some one help me been on this for near 3 days trying to fig it all out and now have come to a stop as iv messed it up some how

Do i need to factory reset and do system wipe aswell maybe thats the answer?

Well i did a factory reset along with the other wipes and has worked but now i can not get the keyboard to come up it just says it has crash

could it be that i may of installed the wrong gapps?

Well i came to the conclusion thats installing the gapps was where i was going wrong. I now have it working and keyboard works fine now trial and error prevailed prob risky but hey figured it out in the end. I now have CM10 4.1 running on it if there any known issues maybe someone out there (if there is anyone besides me lol) would b kind enough to tell me and maybe advise me on another ROM or a better ROM to try. I just want to get a really good look and feel to my already great nexus 7. Kind Regards Sirus2012

Probably not spam. Translation maybe?
If you try flashing CM10 and you can't accomplish anything because your keyboard is force closing, it's probably your gapps.
You need the 4.1 gapps, not 4.2. CM10 is not 4.2.
That is all.

yeah..check your version..
google helps

Cheers for that sorted it now was using 4.2 lol deeeerrrrr what's the best kernel for cm10 for performance and bat life? I can I install it through recovery mode?

This guy is intentionally trying to get you to break your phone!!

Pumpkin seeds and throwing at the wall?!! ha. Nice try
Everyone knows that the only way to get root is to bury the phone in soil, water it and wait (it may take longer than expected but DON'T WORRY, and DON'T REBOOT whilst waiting for root.)

You are a liar, if you performed even the most basic search for your question you would have easily found the answer. In fact you would have found the answer in the installation instructions for CyanogenMod as it states to make a backup. You could have then restored your backup.
