I rooted with the superuser+busybox package. ODINed CWM 2.5.x and flashed the zip. Easy as store bought pie!
Ok two things... First, what the heck does "Tetris force closes" imply? The game? idk. And Next, when I use CWM to do a backup of my rom that im running now (KB), could i use the the advanced restore to just restore the data as a way to easy get all my apps back? Or would that totally cause my phone to melt and go into force close hell? Thanks everyone
This has been such a long time coming! You gotta see it! OMG I am getting antsy just thinking about it! yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I guess I oversimplified a tiny bit... If you have adb installed (plus the samsung drivers) which themselves are one-click operations, then the rooting with gingerbreak is the following command:
adb push c:\wherever\gingerbreak.apk /sdcard/gingerbreak.apk
Then go to the phone, enable "unknown apps", open up the file browser and click on gingerbreak to install it. Once that's done, run gingerbreak, and it will give you a button to "root". THEN it's a one-click kind of operation. Good luck ;-)
Oh, almost forgot. Note to all: be super careful when using ADB and mounted SDcard partitions. I did a simple write to the (pc-unmounted) sd card using an adb command, followed shortly by going to the phone and telling it to pc-mount the sdcard (so i could pull the file i just created) and it nuked my sdcard. Good thing I made a backup!
No more drugs for that man! Lol j/k
I never have been able to get ADB to install correctly but then again with all the rooting/flashing I have done I have never really needed it.

Someone posted over at XDA that the su 2.3.6.1 + busybox 1.19 zip file also works for rooting this GB EC09 ROM.
Any chance this gets us closer to Netflix streaming
what would happen if i flashed a 2.2 kernel on this. what is the worst case? i dont charge my phone i just uses 3rd party batteries and with the stock kernal the fasciante will not auto lock, resulting in poor battery life.
They use two different kernel builds, I wouldnt try it. Worst case it wont boot and u just have to re flash via odin.
How do you side load it?So long as you side load the app, Netflix now works on the Fascinate as of this leak. I was watching it this morning.
Did you get your .apk from over at xda? If so which one works with the fascinate? Really looking forward to trying this out, would make work a whole lot more enjoyable!So long as you side load the app, Netflix now works on the Fascinate as of this leak. I was watching it this morning.
