For me the easiest way is to Odin a stock rom on the phone cuz they already come rooted. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this thread belongs in general

go to the general section of this forum. There, you will be find a thread titled, "fascinate beginner's guide/ FAQ." click on that and go with the odin method.

Odin is a must if you plan on rooting a fascinate, read, read and read so more. By the way make sure when using odin you flash in pda not Phone or you will have a $500 paper weight. And this definitely should have been posted in general.
ok ill look and read deeper i would hate to make a $500 paper weight for a co worker..
im ok with effin up my fone not some one elses :eek:

I feel like giving a tutorial, again correct me if I'm wrong...
Download Odin
Download system kernel and eb01 radio
Take out battery of phone and sdcard (I take out the sd just to be safe)
hold down the bottom volume button while plugging in to computer(should show yellow android digging something I think and say downloading)
open Odin on computer
Click PDA
Click the modem file
Click start
Click the system file
Click start
Click the kernel
Click start
Reboot and you're good to go
