I am going to root and flash a Tom on friends fascinate. Its at stock the new update. I know how to rootbut once that's done can I just flash any Tom or do I need a different modem?

If it's on DL09 you can flash DJ05 or DL09 roms. Those should work just fine.

Thanks I am not a complete noob, I have worked with the vibrant, epic, captivate, mytouch 4g and hd2, so things are somewhat similar. Are there any solid froyo roms? From what I saw any thread that mentioned froyo are alpha or beta.

Also is this the correct process just to be 100% clear:

root
get rom manager and flash clockwork recovery through rom manager
flash rom

Yes. But you missed two steps.

1. Installing clockwork recovery is more involved on this pda. You need to download a patch for clockwork recovery and flash it using odin. (hitting the flash button in RM copies an update.zip to your sd card, which is important too but not the only step)
Use this guide or equivalent:

2. Also, before you install your first ROM, always perform a backup through Rom Manager or recovery first! You should always know a route back to stock.

Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

Thanks. I can not believe that fascinate users only have alpha froyo builds! I got rid of my vibrant because I had enough with froyo.

You can thank Samsung for the delays, since they released almost useless source code for the radio interface layer (RIL) for the Fascinate. It took combined efforts of jt1134 and punk.kaos to reverse engineer a working RIL to get as far as they have. Now that there's been a leak of an official Froyo update, including a new kernel, I imagine we'll be seeing beta releases sometime in the near future. Oh, and don't forget that GB is being worked on as well.

Thanks!
If we do not backup we are asking for trouble and hours lost in a day/night.
