I have, when building some mods. However if you read the thread over on Rootz, you will see it's still in testing. So as logn as your good with ODIN back to stock.. well then it's up to you.

Look in General and such and you can see a thread on it.. Also in Dev thread. If you have not done it, you might want to rea dup on that, before attempting other things... after messing up/bricking a device is not the time to read.. LOL

Not unless you did a nand backup.
yeah just boot to recovery and do a Nandroid restore of the back up you made. Assuming you did this like every ROM thread warns you to.
yes i did the nandroid backup but if i restore the backup will i still have to rom??
You can start by reading the forums and learn what you're doing before you do it.

really man you should read up on this stuff, go to the DamageControl thread and read about it. do a search and see what other people have said about it. 99% of the roms YOU are going to be dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations.
yeah but how am i suppose to learn about it when i dont know what "dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations" even means. How does that help me??

Because you have your Contacts set as Google and not phone, and you back up your apps with Titanium Backup.
Before you ask how to do either of those things, read the little book that came with your phone. It will tell you how to backup your contacts to Google.
Search the Hero forums for what Titanium backup is, and how to use it.
ok thanks!!

there are very few people who will hold your hand and walk you through these very easy to follow steps. READING about what is included in a rom, which i will tell you is ALWAYS on the first page of said rom's thread will tell you everything about that rom that you need or want to know. There are places to look up all the answers to your questions. here is a good place to start...

aaand...im out. before the tridant falls on my head, again.
Ok I'm a noob Hero owner so I'll attempt an answer.
When you turned on your phone for the very first time, after you got over the shock of how cool and awesome it was, I assume you either signed in with or created a google account.
Now after you flash a new ROM especially one that requires a factory wipe of all data, you will have to do that again. Your contacts and email and calendar will all resync to your phone courtesy of the fine folks at google.
As for the apps. Titanium backup seems to be the way to go no muss no fuss.
Holy crap. I've been on these forums for quite a while. I've had three different phones that I've used these exact forums as a resource for modding, rooting, or what have you with all three of them. I've never needed to post a single thing. I will use this opportunity to make my first post, and say:
lol
[Q] What's the absolute best way to wipe everything & return to out of the box stock?
First, thanks for all of you offering up your time w/ these mods. You've turned the Fascinate into a monster and I'm very grateful.
I've read through and performed the steps in the odin restore and remove voodoo threads, but I'm still a little unclear. Well, that and I'm getting some funky hangups on the phone even after doing all that. So I'd really, really like to start completely fresh. Fresh like out of the box fresh. What is the best way to go about this?
Thanks!
PS. I've looked through a few pages, but if I missed a thread w/ the exact answer I'm looking for, please link or describe it and let this one fall away.
Odin with re-partition option checked.

Thanks, but I was hoping to hear the "reason" from egzthunder1.
Because this has nothing to do with developing on the Fascinate. Not trying to be rude or anything, but questions such as these ALWAYS belong in general. This is a place for the devs to post their work/collaborate.

Thanks, that makes sense. I probably would have picked up on that had it said something simple like, "Android development, a place to share your work."
Is it as easy as taking a Nandroid backup? Just curious as i am making a Rom tailored to my liking, nothing special as i am just putting together bits and pieces of others peoples work, and would like to share (and give credit where it is due of course!)
Thanks!
Good question. I would like to know also if there is some kind of tutorial out there but that is probably a stupid idea. I'd even be happy with learning how to create a flashable theme...
Such is life...
Good luck!

Heres a good place to start: http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/6037-general-rom-faq.html
I dont think there is anything written specifically for the vibrant yet, but there are lots of other guides floating around for other phones and while they wont be exactly right for our phones, they should at least give you an idea of whats necissary.

I feel kind of odd for asking this, but see, I am going on a long roadtrip Monday and the Boinix v 1.3 rom i was using the battery kept going dead so fast no matter how much i re-flashed it. So, I decided to use odin to get back to stalk and wiped all user data and cache and now I am stuck at stock 2.1 update 1.
How did you get Bionix on your phone in the first place?

All of this talking, and not many answers.
Mini kies is what you used to get stock froyo, officially.
since you have root, I would backup, wipe, flash a new rom (trigger), and recalibrate your battery. All of which is in my signature.

Ty, I think I will do that because Trigger seems to be one of the best out there as of now.
Non -productive...
Why is the insulting and no-productive comment tolerated here. Te users should not make the decision of if the is the right place for a Question, but rather help and move along. There is a reason that there are forum moderators. I just wish that people knew their place, rather than try to be the forum police.

Just went over to sprint the other day and got this version that ha 5.1.1 installed out of the box. Been searching around and have yet to find anything that even list this version/build but see many others listed.
Is there a root/Pre-root rom that will work on this variant?
I second this! I have been searching for any info on rooting this specific device without luck! I don't mind doing research on how to do it and finding out how my self, just can't find anything at all to do so thus far!
Root for SM-G530P
I third this someone please help...
Before you get into flashing anything on the device....please be sure to enable OEM Unlocking under developers option.
Also, there seems to be a twrp recovery, however, I have not tested it out myself yet...when I do so I will let you all know if it's success or not.
Another thing, I think it's highly possible that the phone will require a "permissive" kernel...not too sure yet. I will advise shortly...
Ok I got news. The phone has been semi-rooted, I was right...it requires a permissive kernel in order for the phone to boot up once more. The people that come in mind when it comes to permissive sprint kernels are Freeza & Djvoleur. They can probably cook something up if they have the source code for this phone already.... also, we need a working twrp or philz recovery.... the ones provided do not work... meaning that it would be redundant to have a permissive kernel...if we don't have a working custom recovery to flash it over with.... unless there's another way to flash the zip file or maybe just the boot.img? I will keep updating this if I find anything further...

EDIT: It works great, thanks for looking out and thanks for the work put into this to bring us root to our devices.
Now if I could just find a ROM for this thing that would make it a bit less bloated and run a bit smoother that will make it all worth while.

Nice walls phunkee, like the fractal ones, very retro! Only weird thing on my handset tho, is when i apply the theme using hdwalls, i have to switch off / switch on, to get the top and bottom curtains to change. If i simply do a soft reset, it puts standard grey top/bottom curtains up. Happens with all downloaded themes, ones ive made myself, everything. Odd!
