Follow Steps at own Risk

MIUI or CM7 Installation:

1.) Depending on what you want to install, download either the I9000 Miui 1.11.11 Rom or the CM 7.1 Stable Rom.

2.) Download the Glitch-V13-DEV-TelusFascinate+ kernel. I chose the Medium Leakage Kernel.

3.) Move both ZIP (ROM and Kernel) files over to the Root of your Internal SD Card (USB, Bluetooth, etc)

4.) Make sure you DISABLE all Lagfixs if you have it enabled.

IMPORTANT:

Froyo 2.2.x (Not Tested):

We need to be able to boot into CWM. Easiest way to do this if you are on Froyo is to Flash the SpeedMod kernel or the Voodoo Kernel. I suggest following all steps which includes installing Darky 9.2 just to be sure. I haven't tried flashing Miui or CM7 from right from the SpeedMod CWM.

Gingerbread 2.3.x (Tested):

If you running a custom ROM that is based off Gingerbread you will be required to flash the Darky Resurrection Edition 9.2 (Froyo) via Odin. This is to insure that the proper boot loaders updated before installing MIUI or CM7. Download the Darky 9.2 package from the above URL, the ONLY files that we need from here are: Odin3 v1.3.exe, darky_odin.tar.md5 & s1_odin_20100512.pit​

Follow Ficeto's Instructions below to flash Darky 9.2 and remember to backup all your stuff before starting.

-------------------------------------

5.) Next step is to get your phone into Download Mode. If you are unsure please search the forums here. :)

6.) Now, open ODIN and connect the phone to the computer. ODIN will say 'Added'.

7.) Tick the 'Repartition' option, and then select the following files in ODIN (from the folder you extracted the base package in):

[*]PDA: darky_odin.tar.md5

[*]PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit

8.) Press the Start button and wait for it to finish. Once it finishes, disconnect the phone from the computer after the phone reboots.

9.) After ODIN completes procedure and the phone reboots, a screen will come on the phone with 'Android system recovery <2e>' written at the top, and the following text will be written at the bottom:

"E:Invalid command argument

--Install from package--

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

#MANUAL MODE#

-- Appling Muti CSC...

Installing Muti CSC"

Don't worry about this.

10.) From here the next step is to reboot your phone, your POWER / SELECT button will not work so you will have to pull the battery out. Once you put the battery back in and start up the phone, it should automatically boot into CWM Recovery.

-------------------------------------

11.) Next we want to do a COMPLETE WIPE (Factory), also deleting Partition Cache and the Delvik Cache.

12.) Once the phone has been cleansed, you want to make your way to the option "Select ZIP from SD Card" and select the ROM zip file located on the SD Card. Start the Installation. :)

NOTE: Once you start the installation, your phone will reboot part way through, then will continue the rest of the installation. The total time for this installation could take up to 10 minutes, so please be patient and do not touch the phone!

13.) DONE!! You have now successfully Flashed either Miui or CM7 on your Fascinate!.

14.) Actually, one more Step which I have ONLY tested with Miui 1.11.11:

Once you have checked a few things out, we are going to want to Flash the Glitch-V13-DEV-TelusFascinate+ kernel. So boot back into CWM Recovery and Flash it the same way you flashed the ROM.

Optional:

BASEBAND UPDATE:

I would also suggest Flashing the I9000UGJK3 Baseband or another of your liking because I had crappy cell signal with the Stock Miui Baseband. Just download it as you normally would, move the ZIP to the internal SD Card, boot into CMW recovery and flash it. Click on the Link Here and find the modem that you would like to flash.

4WAYREBOOT MOD:

I think this Mod is a MUST for anyone running Miui, it completes it!! It basically adds the additional reboot options like Recovery, Hotboot, etc. to the 'reboot' list when going to reboot the phone. Install the ZIP the same way as usual, through CWM recovery. Download the 4-Way Reboot Mod Here.

ENJOY!!!!

:)

I will add to this post with some additional and helpful information.

Other helpful information:

- With Miui or CM7, you will want to install the ROM Manager Application. It contains a bunch of additional downloads and is a must when using Miui or CM7.

- Please do NOT USE 'ROM manager' Backup option to create a nandroid. To create a backup, boot into CWM recovery normally via ROM manager or if you have the 4-Way Reboot mod installed. Just don't use the 'Backup option' in ROM Manager

- I haven't tried Launcher Pro yet, I've actually stuck with the Stock Launcher that Miui comes with, Launcher2.apk
