I have researched this and am getting more confused by the minute. I have installed Bionix Final stock and I am considering going back to ji6. I have read that I must flash the ji6 kernel even though I dont believe that bionix changed the kernel. When and how must this be done? After flashing to ji6? I would most appreciate it if someone could tell me the steps taken to flash just the kernel or if that is even necessary and also if I can just flash through Clockwork to go back to stock ji7 when Froyo is sent OTA. Would it be safer or easier to just use Odin? Any and all replies are most appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the reply but I read this thread and still am confused. Sorry I am not as informed or astute as you are. Let me mention I am a complete nubie and am looking for simple steps or instructions or answers. I am continuing to search the threads for more information. Its becoming evident to me that I should never have flashed Bionix Final as it appears that there is not a lot of support or help for nubies who have questions and do not understand some of the procedures or terms.
Bionix fusion is based on ji6. It does not actually use the ji6 kernel. It is using a modified jfd kernel so I would not recommend flashing ji6 kernel over the top of it. If you would like to go back to the stock ji6 I recomend odin back to it. But if you wanted you could use jacs kernel or kings kernel if your not happy. Fusion also came in three flavors stock, jacs, kings.

Thanks so much for the helpful reply. Does Bionix final have the same kernel as the fusion does? I am on Bionix Final. I will use Odin to flash back to ji6. Would I use just the tar and pit or do I have to repartition as well? It seems the swype keyboard I am so fond of will not go into landscape mode nor will any of the other keyboards. I have checked the settings and can find nothing that would affect this situation. That is one of the reasons I am contemplating going back to ji6. thanks again for the help and kindness. any info on my other questions is greatly appreciated.
All the bionix roms are using the modified jfd kernel. Im using bionix final r1 and im not having any problems with swipe. I find it to be the best touchwiz rom out there. If you do want to go back to stock use the 512 pit amd the ji6 tar and you don't have to check the repartition box. But if your like me and flash lots of roms I would check the box to get all the ghosts out of the closets (fix force closer issues).

Thanks again. I will put your information to good use. I may stay on bionix final for a while longer. I am overjoyed that I now have the correct procedures to flash back when the time comes. Many thanks and Blessings.
Does any one have a link to the stock kernel for the eclair fascinate. Its my friends. He flashed the ec10 voodoo kernel. I have got voodoo disable but need a flashable stock eclair kernel to fix this.
Do yeah. I still need it. Ok looking through the forums now. I have found the package to Odin back to stock but would preffer to just flash the stock kernel. This fixed my mesmerize at one time. Don't know if it will work now. Any help would be appreciated
Edit. Gonna try the method in the sticky. See what that does.
The steps in the stickey fixed it. This was mostly my fault cause he asked me if the ec10 kernels was ok. Never crossed my mind he was still on eclair. Anyway got him on 2.2 using the Odin files. Love that program. Sorry for takin up a thread. I should have just done the Odin thing from the start. Lesson learned.

Ed05 is newer and it says it has the missed call issues fixed and a few other things...eb01 that you are on now is not an official update (I don't think) so you will have to odin the full dl09 package to get back to stock rom/kernel/recovery and then update ota from there, ed05 is now an official release so I would think there would be your best bet.
As far as the international sim card stuff I have no idea but I hope this helps!

Thx for the reply.If i'm just using odin and not ota,can u give me the link to download the firmware?because I can't download the OTA from verizon cause I'm not in US,so everything must be done with Odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178544
Thats the link for ed05 but it looks a little more tricky than just downloading and flashing in odin, you may want to go to Ed04 for now until they get an odin
.tar file that doesn't need to be unzipped

download this link: http://www.multiupload.com/9I7ZBQJF0R
unzip with 7zip or winrar
open odin and flash(PDA ONLY)CI500_VZW_ED05_FROYO_REL.tar.md5 in 4th folder down(should say ed05)

Thx.So,in summary:
1. I have to odin-ed my fascinate to DL09.
2.After that,I have to odin-ed my fascinate again to ED05 from your link?
3.When it's done,I can odin CWM and root my fascinate?
And,by the way.Should I inject my number again?or my number will still be in the phone?cause I don't subscribe to verizon (I don't live in US) and I'm using my country's simcard
no need to go back to dl09, just flash the ed05 tar via odin. Ed05 is the new stock replacement package for dl09.... you only need the atlas pit file and check repartition only if your coming from cm7 or miui... if your planning on stayin stock ed05 flash cwm2.5.1.x, but if your planning on flashing another rom, flash cwm3. I'm not sure about your number srry.

Now,just need to know about my sim card condition and status and I can odin-ed my fascinate to ED05.
Done it,and turns out.It doesn't effect my phone number.Thx for droidstyle n efan450 that helps
Now,I'm trying to think what is gingerbread leak that is the best n stable
My girlfriend has a fascinate running 2.1 update1. She wants to update to froyo or gingerbread. So after figuring out rom manager does not appear in the market I looked up how to push update to froyo with Odin. Seems simple but while trying to download the rom+ root+clockwork mod all the links are bad. Some fbi jpg pops up saying the Site is facing some Charges. (Megaupload) where can I get the files? Or is there another easy way to install clockworkmod and roms?

Check out droidsyle's guide in the general forum. He put a lot of hard work into it and keeps the links updated so be sure to thank him.
