Here's how to upgrade to Froyo:
Recent revisions to this procedure: Updates to this procedure reflect changes to ClockworkMod Red. More details regarding CWM can be found at the bottom of this post under the heading "Advanced Users". The original procedure is here for reference.
Prerequisites: The absolute safest way to proceed is to start with a factory reseted device with no 3rd party apps installed or Voodoo Lag Fix. That is the state my phone was in as I was writing this procedure. Based on numerous posts, if you don't do this, there's a good chance you'll be heading on down to the force close section of post #5. I'm also reading issues people are having when restoring data from backup programs. I'm not telling you to not do this, but just be aware of this. Personally, I like to start out with a clean slate. If you have used ODIN in the past, and have experience using it, you will breeze through many of these steps. I'm pretty specific for those who are new to all of this. It's worth repeating: if you have Voodoo, I would remove it. If you don't know what Voodoo is, it's unlikely that you have it. You will also need to install the Samsung Drivers before continuing. This procedure is not Mac compatible. Last but not least, no question is a stupid question, regardless of your skill level. There are no shortage of helpful and experienced members in this thread, and there are certified Android Central junkies (those of us with badges next to our names) that are here to help. I know you'd do anything right now for me to stop talking, so here it is:
Please follow these steps explicitly:
1.) If your phone is not currently at version DL09, please proceed to post #4 before continuing.
2.) Download these 2 files & place them on your SD Card: update.zip & DL30.zip.
3.) Download this file to your PC: cwm_froyo.tar
4.) If you do not have ODIN (or if you don't know what that is), download the attached zipped ODIN file and extract ODIN file to your PC's desktop.
5.) If your phone is plugged into your computer, unplug it now.
6.) If your phone is not powered down, power it down now.
7.) Remove battery from phone.
8.) Launch ODIN on PC.
9.) Plug USB cable into phone.
10.) Press and hold the volume-down key.
11.) Plug your Fascinate into the PC via USB cable.
You should now see a gigantic yellow triangle and your phone will be in download mode. You can now release the volume key.
12.) Click on the PDA button in ODIN
Triple check that you pushed the PDA button. Do NOT click the Phone button prior to continuing to step 13. If you choose Phone, you will have bought your Fascinate a one-way ticket to hell.
13.) Choose the cwm_froyo.tar file you downloaded in step 3 above & click the Start button.
14.) Phone will power down when finished.
15.) Remove USB cable.
16.) Reinsert battery.
17.) Press & hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time. Do not let go. Now press and hold the power button. You will see the Samsung logo display, disappear, and then reappear. Now let go of all buttons.
18.) You will now see a blue menu.
For the following: volume buttons to select & home button to enter at the end of each step.
19.) Select apply "sdcard:update.zip"
20.) You should now see a red menu (CWM Red)
For the following: volume buttons to select and power button to enter at the end of each step.
20.) Select "install zip from sdcard"
21.) Select "zip from sdcard"
22.) Select "DL30-Leak.zip"
23.) Select "Yes Install DL30.zip"
24.) Once install is complete, hit the menu capacitive button to go back one screen.
25.) Choose reboot system now.
When finished -- the phone will reboot and you will have Froyo.
Users having Force Close Problems: If, after completing the upgrade, you are having force close issues, please see post #5.
Advanced users: If you did the above procedure the evening of 2/4/10 - or later - you will also have the latest and greatest ClockworkMod Red that jt1134 posted on XDA. In post #5 below, I provide instructions on how to boot into ClockworkMod in the future, and some of the things you can use it for. If you used a prior version of my procedure, you have an older version of ClockworkMod Red that has a broken mass storage function, broken data mounting function, and as a result will not be able to "wipe properly" (thanks for explaining this Adrynalyne). It's also my understanding there are problems doing a Nandroid backup with the old version. In post #5, I also provide details on how to update to the newest one.
