[Q] Tried to flash Cyanogenmod on Fascinate, now no google or apps!

Warning: I am a noob!

Managed to root my Samsung Fascinate (yay!). Then I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 7 on it but it didn't end up taking it and now I'm back to, what appears to be, stock and I can't log in to Google (it says I need to set up a Google account and when I click yes it just goes back to home screen). I did a Titanium back up and everything but I can't get Titanium back on my phone as all the apps I have downloaded aren't on my phone and I can't get them without the Android market (and cant' get Android market without signing in to Google).

I tried several times to re-flash Cyanogenmod and the google apps zip file but it just doesn't take them. I followed all the steps on the Cyanogenmod wiki using the manual boot into recovery method (3 finger-home, volume up and down to boot into recovery).

Also, my soft key home and search buttons do not work anymore.

Any ideas!?!?

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I have been reading (and reading and reading). I've looked at every post I can find to try and figure it out and haven't been able to. Like I said, I'm a "noob" and all this stuff confuses the hell out of me. I followed all the steps (several times) and it didn't work. That's why I'm reaching out to you guys to see if I can get some advice. Thanks again

which version of clockworkmod recovery do you have? you need to make sure that it is at least CWM 3.XX or above. i know when i had problems with flashing roms a big problem was that the recovery that i was using was really old and it wasnt compatable with newer roms.

I tried the latest (stable) version of CM7.1

Odin the Clockwork Recovery posted here: CWM4: http://goo.gl/7DmxF and use this version to flash CM7.1 If you're still stuck, check out BrwnSuperman's guide in the Development section (I got the CWM4 link from his guide).

Has anyone seen John Connor?
