Just installed sc2.8 and I am officially now a happy fascinate owner. I felt like a kid in a candy store as soon as the boot loader popped up. It's extremely fast and is just a joy to use. Special thanks to adrynalyne and DXC for the ROM and packaging. Thanks to everyone who has included helpful information on this forum. There are way too many to list, but after reading nearly all 270 pages, I felt prepared enough to take the plunge. Kudos, guys!
[Odin] Froyo leaked packaged custom ROMs w/root and clockwork **UPDATED**3/25

Somewhat irrelevant question but I was curious. The general consensus is that kernels react differently and it varies phone to phone..does the same apply for stock kernels as well?

Just flashed to 2.6. Immediate first reaction... that is the coolest f'ing boot animation I have ever seen. Very snappy, account setup went as well as can be expected. Installing apps soon via App Brain. Hopefully this resolved some issues that were occurring with my original Froyo flash.
Uneasy newbie needs clarification
I've had my fascinate for about 6 months. Like most, I've grown tired of waiting for froyo OTA. I have rooted, downloaded Odin, and the Superclean 2.8 that does the wipe. I've backed everything up with Titanium Backup. Here's where I get uneasy. So all I have to do to get Froyo is to flash the Superclean 2.8 through Odin and I'm good to go? Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm still new to all this, so I figured its better to ask questions first. I flashed Superclean 2.8 but I wanted to make a backup of my phone, but from what I've read you make backups with ROM Manager and with Superclean we aren't suppose to install ROM Manager right?
My personal suggestion it to root your phone and use Titanium Backup. There are some other applications that do similar functions, but I cannot attest to them. I purchased Ti Backup, and it's fantastic.
When you run it the first time, it will ask you for root rights. Approve the rights if you've rooted, otherwise it won't work.
There will be a Batch function for you to run in Titanium (there is a free and paid version) where you can backup all of your applications and system data. I would personally just backup the applications.
Then pull the trigger. Follow the instructions DXC has laid out on the first post, and when you get the phone booted back to the desktop, it will already be rooted. Download Titanium from the market and then use the Restore applications function, and then sit back and watch your apps get restored.
The only problem with the unpaid version is that you have to tap and approve all of your apps. With the paid version, you tap once to start the process and then come back when done... and everything is automatically approved.
I read all 200+ pages before I opted to pull the trigger, so don't feel bad if you're feeling cagey about pulling the trigger. I also read all of the posts from Adrynalyne's thread that was just recently closed and started over. So you're looking at some 400 pages, just between two threads.
DXC really does have it laid out pretty straight forward. The short version of what to do:
- download update.zip and place it on the the SD card (not in a folder)
- download and install the drivers
- download Odin
- download your choice of ROM packages (personally EB16SC28_DXC.tar is my choice if you want all of the Verizon stuff removed and the cleanest phone)
then follow steps 4 - 16 on that first post to get your phone flashed.
If you have issues with flashing, there are several people around here to help get you through the issue.
Like Gunnermike said above me, read carefully, and that's all there is to it.
I was in your shoes a couple of months ago, I was nervous about doing anything after I rooted my phone, now I check every day for something new to flash. With the support that this site offers all of us, there is no need to be nervous.
standupdad: Thank you for your post and I appreciate, but I guess I was unclear by what I meant. I'm currently running Superclean 2.8 already, but I want to make an image of my phone's current state, just in case something where to happen. My problem is I don't really know how to use CWM or ROM Manager to do that.
Its funny you should mention reading all 200+ pages, I did the same thing and even spent an hour deciding if I should buy the full version of Titanium!

Gotcha.
Firstly, I can't help you with the making of an image based on the phone's current state other than applications through Titanium. I'm not a CWM or ROM Manager type of person, so others will have to chime in and assist you there, but with that said...
Consider that if you had a problem with your phone that you may be re-introducing something to your phone after you run your restore. That's why it is exponentially better to add things back to the phone incrementally. I know that's annoying and time consuming, and is why I like the non-wipe versions of the packages that DXC creates, as I refuse to do that incremental thing.
... and is ultimately why there are so many versions of these packages. Choices are a wonderful thing.
Here is what I do using Titanium and CWM for backing up.
I get the phone to a clean state (optional)
I flash my desired ROM / Kernel
Install my apps setup my user settings etc (app settings such as login)
Once phone is where I want it I use Titanium backup just in case and backup apps + system data.
Once this is done I shut down to CWM RED Recovery
At first menu I choose Backup / Restore
Second menu Backup (this is a nandroid backup)
After this I reboot make sure everything is working still.
From here if I want a theme I download it to my SD Card and flash it using CQM Recovery.
When I want to replace that theme I restore my nandroid backup which puts my phone back the way it was before theme was installed. (new apps installed while theme was in place are still there with this method)
Then I either stay where I am at or flash another theme.
*edit*
Also if I have a problem such as I am having now with FC or Market not working with steel blue theme I restore my nanadroid and I am back in business until I or somebody here helps me figure it out.

Hey guys,
I just tried this and it fails every time. I tried on 2 computers and it fails. I was on DJ05 before. I tried a couple different versions. suggestions?

What did you try that fails? Odin? The driver install? Did you remember to unrar the package?
Try to provide some additional data as to what you've done, what is failing, and at what step. Also, what package are you trying to install?
I am trying to use Odin to push the tar.md5 file to the phone. I made sure it was under the PDa option. EB16SC28_DXC.tar.md5. It start to run then says FAIL. it says complete (write) operation failed.
I did extract the file using winrar.
I did extract the file using winrar.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Anti Virus and Anti Malware disabled?
What OS are you running, XP, Vista or 7? 32 or 64 bit?
Would still like answers to the questions above please. Mainly because the image doesn't help me a lot, though it is helpful in understanding where the failure happened.
I tried 2 different machines one a laptop with win7 and the other is desktop with XP both 32 bit. I tried on different ports on both machines and disabled my AV.
