Hello,
Just upgraded from a droid eris, and I really want to try one of the newer CyanogenMods or MIUI roms. My phone is completely stock non rooted.
Hardware version I500.04 Firmware Version 2.2.2 Baseband version S:i500.04V.ED05 Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 Build Number SCH-I500.ED05. Now on my eris it was super simple just boot to recovery and add any rom you like, no need to do anything else.
I had a really bad experience with a Droid X, where I bricked the phone while trying to change roms. So I want to see if anyone can direct me to good tutorial step by step since I'm really a newbie on this. Video tutorial would be great. I really don't want to brick my phone again, and sometimes you miss a step and your done fore. I don't know anything about kernels, but it looks like you have to change the kernel before you add any of these newer roms. So any help would be really appreciated.
thanks

Read all the stickies in the Dev section and the q and a, but I'll send you some links with good reading material...as long as you always use the PDA button in Odin and never the phone button, and always make sure anything you flash is for Verizon fascinate only not Telus or a different galaxy s model and you will never truly brick your phone!

These are a good starting point...read the OP of these links for reference..links to files and programs, and general good knowledge! Enjoy reading learning and seeing how awesome this phone is with the help of the devs and the community...donate to the devs if possible!
