Ok here is where my confusion starts. I was looking into rooting ad rom-ing my fascinate (no problem right) which is currently ED05 from an OTA and not rooted, and most stickies in the forums i was researching use odin. Last time i rooted, which was a while ago, i used ADB methods. This time i want to root and get some gingerbread action seen on this phone.
i) Well my main goal was to root my ED05 froyo and get a backup made with clockwork, then flash a gingerbread rom from clockwork recovery. How is odin getting me there? I mean at what stage would it enter in the process?
ii) So are there two main methods to rom, use odin or use CWM (which i assume is clockwork recovery)?
iii) With Odin do i first need root before i attempt to install a new rom? Or do i simply use Odin to move from my stock froyo to a rom- like vanilla GB or powerwash GB?
iv) omit 4 i think i understand for now
v) Instead do i first root with other methods as stickied in these forums, then use Odin to flash the clockwork red, and install roms from there? Are there other methods to get the appropriate clockwork?
vi) Once in a gingerbread rom could i flash back to a rooted froyo, if i had a recovery image made from the clockwork recovery? Of is this such a task left to Odin and i use it to move from rom to stock if needed?
I know i am all over the place.:-\
:-$ i have read too much all day and gotten no where to my goal.
Please, anyone who can answer any one of my questions much appreciated, because i don't expect any one person to answer all that would be too awesome.
