Remove any lagfixes first!
Check my sig for Lagfix and it will show how to uninstall

Power off your phone
Hold Volume Down while plugging it into USB to your computer

Open odin
Select PDA
Browser for Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5
Hit Start

Will doing this require you to somehow "activate" your phone again or is everything based on Verizon's end?

I have only done this on a device I bricked, the phone was never programmed to begin with but if you do need to activate it it should bring you to the activation screen right away then just hit activate and option 1 or if your at the homescreen type *22899 and no options

No I have 2 devices so the one I bricked I kinda figured I would have done it. I used the method I posted on here to bring it back. I knew prior to bricking the device that I would have the method posted on here to bring me back if needed.

So, this is required when FROYO comes out then? In order to get the update?

If I brick my Fascinate can I recover it? I should get mine tomorrow and will follow the instructions i have found here. Thanks for the help.

It shouldn't be but it is possible that certain modifications will prevent OTA updates. This should only be necessary in worst case situations (ie. Dirrk's brick)

Might be getting off topic, but after the new update, will all this rooting and fixing be necessary still?

Reason I ask, is if the update is on the horizon, I'm wondering if I should just wait to root and do the lag fix (already 80% done with the google fix, still need to rename) until after the update, to avoid any fiascos I may create for myself...lol
