Odin is a must if you plan on rooting a fascinate, read, read and read so more. By the way make sure when using odin you flash in pda not Phone or you will have a $500 paper weight. And this definitely should have been posted in general.

Download Odin
Download system kernel and eb01 radio
Take out battery of phone and sdcard (I take out the sd just to be safe)
hold down the bottom volume button while plugging in to computer(should show yellow android digging something I think and say downloading)
open Odin on computer
Click PDA
Click the modem file
Click start
Click the system file
Click start
Click the kernel
Click start
Reboot and you're good to go

Hey guys, I need some quick help on flashing a new rom/kernel onto my buddies Bell Vibrant GT-I9000M. I am guessing this is the right section since it is called a vibrant lol as I was confused to maybe post in the I9000 Section.
I own a Captivate so I don't know much about the vibrant on how to go about things, figured it would be similar.
I been searching but been having a hard time, and he needs his phone back quick. Was wondering if you guys could help me on how to just get his phone working again. His phone can only go into download mode, recovery 3e, and stays on a constant boot screen. Makes things hard to do. I wanted to do a oneclick odin to stock fix like that captivate has but I don't see one anywhere here. If there is then this whole thing would be much easier.
If not, any one mind giving me some steps on how to use odin 1.7? I figured I'd go with the darky rom and suggested kernel.
Thanks in advance

Looks like your'e in the wrong section, there are lots of threads in the Q&A section about this which is probably where this needs to be posted anyway.
you know how to get in to download mode but you dont know how to odin hmmmm. check the i9000 forum on the right way to get back to stock or whatever then flash away it should be a sticky or thread there explaining how to odin back.
It's different... ur friend vibrant looks more like I 9000then u. S version vibrant.
And don't post it in development section or u will get flamed.. by troll..

Hey, everyone needs a good laugh. don't be a sour noob.
First of all do you have Odin? Did you read Intratech's Odin thread? Did you even go to his thread? If not, read up here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&highlight=stock+firmware
If links don't work for ROMs (I suggest downloading LA4 if you want Gingerbread, best Gingerbread ROM out there) then google the firmware name and look for a mirror. Ever since the whole download site crackdown, it's been hard to keep good mirrors, which is why you have so many dead links.
BATMAN-- OUT!
I have odin and i have looked at Intratech's thread and have read it multiple times trying to figure it out but not helping..the more i read, the more confusing it gets...sorry for being a sour noob...just frustrated
I flashed the phone using odin the gingerbread rom and then when i was following Intratech's guide on rooting the phone, the program he has listed both freeze and stop responding

i'm sorry I didnt know that. you dont have to be a ****.
I suggest you do what's necessary to flash to UCKH7 GB and start over. (Search the forums or Google with "xda" following your search)
If you want ICS follow the instructions in the stickies!

I have an at&t s2 I777.....it is rooted one i guess (it was gifted)..
I want the ICS on it...and believe me i know nothing about how to get it....
i googled and found many people explaining the process for a windows PC version.
I have a mac and if some one would please care to explain (step-by-step is much appreciated)..i attach the present status of the I777...
Thanks....
Senior members will probably scream SEARCH at you 'til blue in the face, so I'll throw you a bone since I've been stalking for far too long.
This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686) is a guide to Heimdall (basically Odin for Mac) find a kernal to flash (I started with Siyah http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19650906&postcount=1) and follow the Heimdall guide to flash to your GS2. Next you can download any ICS Rom (I've been using ShoStock2 since version 1.1) to your phone and flash the zip using CWM (there are a plethora of guides on this should you need it, so search.)
Check out my thread, no need for a computer to flash the update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722064
I would suggest you follow the guide linked in my signature. It has instructions for using heimdall with the mac.
Do *not* install Siyah 3.4 on your phone if you are running Gingerbread stock or modified firmware. You can not use an ICS kernel with a Gingerbread system.
If you have any questions or problems as you work through the guide, feel free to post your questions in that thread.
Edit: if you already have ClockworkMod Recovery on the phone, then you can just download the firmware distribution you want and flash it in recovery.

Yes, it is based on the last AT&T release. You will need CWM to install the ROM.

Honestly, I keep all of my fingers crossed for OP action.
Ok a friend S3 started acting up I didn't back up so I lost anything
When I tried to put back the original firmware on the phone using Odin for no reason at all will it be installed. It will just stick on Nand writing in the bottom part of the screen and nothing on tp part of the screen that would usually show FIL, PASS etc.
Next thing with some other firmwares the blue loading bar on the phone will go to basically 100% but nothing will happen on the phone
I did get on 2 firmwares, one just kept booting to the Samsung logo then go in a revolving boot sequence with the animation coming up, the other firmware I got on seems like it belonged to some other phone company and after their boot screen comes up and the Samsung's logo come on the screen it will just stay there.
In both cases the phone was left after installation on both screens for hours with no success.
All I want to do is put back on the 4.12 JB T mobile version enter unlock code and give back to my friend
Can I get some assistance please thanks

Take out the battery and post the model number here.
Factory reset to get past the forever spinning Samsung logo. The Odin fails are probably due to incorrect firmware.
