[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchunkwii:
This is the path I followed. I have ZERO bugs or issues of any kind by following this method.

NOTE: I do not provide direct links to roms from here as it changes too quickly. For any file, go to the development section and search. Its always there.

First you need to get back to the latest OTA stock if not there. Refer to threads in Development for files. (Disable Voodoo as needed)

1. Download the latest stock MD5 file from developer forums to computer. (search dev forum... ED05 is current latest)

2. Flash on phone through Odin (see steps 6-10 below if you don't remember how to do this)

3. Once phone reboots, go to settings, about phone, updates and check for new. Allow all OTA updates to latest version. (may be none)

Now that we are all at the same level, follow steps below. Refer to developer threads for files.

(steps 1 and 2 may not be needed by everyone)

1. Download/Install Odin on computer (ALWAYS USE PDA when using Odin!!)

2. Download/Install Samsung Drivers on computer

3. Download latest clockwork recovery (cwr) to computer (search dev forum for correct cwr for your intended rom)

4. Download update.zip to the root or lowest level on the SD card. (i.e. not inside any folder and may not need to do this based on CWR install,

this may not be necessary

)

5. Download root tool/file (this may not be necessary based on your rom) and your rom of choice and its patch(es) to phone's SD card; the download directory is best.

6. Turn on Odin

7. Turn off phone and remove battery.

8. Hold down the volume down button and plug into computer's USB port using the USB cord that came with the phone. This should turn on "downloading mode", pretty obvious when its on. You should also see Odin's top-left box turn yellow.

9. Click PDA button in Odin and select the clockwork recovery file, click start and wait for same top-left box to turn green and say everything is good and phone will turn off.

10. Unplug phone and put battery back in.

THESE NEXT STEPS ARE IMPORTANT AND YOU MUST NOT ALLOW PHONE TO FULLY BOOT UP OTHERWISE YOU'LL HAVE TO REPEAT FROM STEP 6.

11. Hold both volume buttons AND the power button until you see the Samsung logo. This will put the phone into "recovery mode". If screen is blue, use the volume keys to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" and click the "home" softkey. This will put you into the cwr you just flashed in Odin. If the screen is red,orange,green,etc you are already in cwr.

12. Now that you are in cwr, use the volume keys to select "Wipe data/factory reset." Press the power button to select, and then navigate to yes, and press the power button again to select.

13. Scroll down to "Wipe cache partition," use power button to select, and then highlight and select "Yes."

14. Scroll down to "advanced" and then select "Wipe dalvik cache." Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.

15. Press the "Menu" softkey to return to the previous menu in CWM Recovery.

16. Navigate down to "Install zip from sdcard." Highlight it and press the power button to select.

17. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select.

18. Navigate to the rooted root tool/file that you downloaded earlier, and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select. (again, may not be needed based on rom. If not, then just choose rom file instead)

19. When you're advised of completion, press the "Menu" softkey to go back to the previous CWR screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now." NOTE: If the rom was flashed in step 18 above, then you can skip these next steps and just let phone boot as normal.

IMMEDIATELY HOLD BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS AND POWER BUTTON!

20. Release buttons when Samsung logo appears.

21. You should return to cwr, if not "apply sdcard:update.zip" again.

22. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select.

23. Navigate to the rom of your choice file that you downloaded earlier, and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.

24. When you're advised of completion, press the "Menu" softkey to go back to the previous CWR screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now."

IMMEDIATELY HOLD BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS AND POWER BUTTON!

Repeat steps 20 through 24 until all patches have been run. Once that is done you can let it boot like normal. Keep in mind the first boot may take several minutes. Once its up, have fun with your new fully rooted, debloated, debinged, custom rom with tons of other enhancements.

As always, I am not responsible if you destroy your phone. You did it.
