Several stickies and guides point to this post related to rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779238
The thread is now dated and it seems once you try it the phone will disable USB debugging. It has been this way since a January 2011 maintenance update (source)
The workarounds listed in that link also no longer work. I have found a couple other methods to root that are also dated and I know of no current working root method. I cannot post to the dev forum to ask to have the "Fascinate Sticky Roll-Up Thread **Check this thread BEFORE posting**" sticky and others updated but I am posting here in case someone can help clean up some of the dated info.
