What's ZW Fascinate stock kernel?

Hi, I'm not new to rooting/flashing. My sister-in-law wants her Fascinate to be faster and lag free. So I'm here to help her but got questions. Is EB01 the stock kernel? I'm looking a stock kernel + voodoo. She's gonna wait for offical release of 2.2 on her phone so I'm looking for 2.1 stock + voodoo. But if I have too, I can flash a 2.2 ROM and tell her that VZW can screw.
Please and thanks in advance.

EB01 is the version of the latest leak of 2.2, not the version of a kernel.
Search the Development forum for Voodoo. There are quite a few Voodoo kernels out there for 2.1. The ones from jt1134 are pretty popular. Also, adrynalyne has some test kernels available. I was using his Test 5 (non-voodoo) for quite a while and it was pretty stable. There are other developers with Voodoo kernels as well, so look through the search results and figure out what you like best.
The one thing to keep in mind is that some of the newer 2.1 kernels are only compatible with the latest officially released firmware (DL09). You might need to upgrade her phone (OTA) before proceeding with adding these newer 2.1 kernels.
There is a Voodoo kernel available for 2.2 currently, but you would have to upgrade everything to 2.2 (i.e. EB01). There is a thread for it by jt1134, and it's a stock 2.2 kernel with Voodoo and custom boot animation support.

[Q] Basic NEWBIE QUESTIONS

This is my second time playing with my phone and i hope this time i didnt brick it. I've just flashing my Xperia X10i from 2.1 eclair to Gingerbread 2.3.3. Flashing it using the Generic 3.xx download from this forum. And im glad i finally done it. Who cares... To the question.
1> What is ROM? Everybody talking about changing Rom, Stock Rom, this Rom, that Rom.. what is the meaning of ROM for android? Flashing Rom and Flashing Firmware is the same thing??
2> What is BASEBAND??
3> What is Generic Number?? Build number?? i've change flash my build number from 2.1.A.435 to 3.0.1.G.0.75 and my baseband version,kernel and Android version change along with it.

1. A ROM is the firmware, or Operating Sytem, of your phone. It's a package that contains the OS, drivers, programs and other odds and clods that make your phone work!
2. A baseband is a special package (kind of like a ROM) that controls the radios in your phone (cellular radio [phone part], bluetooth, WiFi etc.)
3. A build number is the version of the Operating System you are installing. Every manufacturer uses different naming systems for their builds, but usually the higher the letters/numbers, the newer the build. A new build will often contain a new baseband, and a new kernel. If you're lucky, you can sometimes even get a new OS version (as you did)!
Hope this helps!

pudding no root?
ok guys/girls I have been looking on here for a week and a half now but I flashed pudding and im unlocked as well but no root access obviously something i am not doing right. I thought pudding would give root but maybe not? I also have tried booting in recov. but then I can't find anything in there that says root or whatever.
I have the superuser app. dosent work as well as tita. says not rooted? It also says that a newer version is released and that it was put on my sd card but can't find it?
Any help is welcome or just point me to the right thread.
No dummie responses as they are a waste of your intellectual ability when you could have just used that energy to respond with help.

I had this problem a lot when I first got the phone. I tried a lot of different things before I finally just accepted it as network issues. But at the same time, recently I have not been dropping as many calls or seemingly missing calls, so it's possible it has to do with the setup I'm currently running which is as following:
ROM - Virtuous Unity v1.29
Kernel - Unity v3
Radio - 12.56.60.25x_26.10.04.03_M
RIL - 2.2.0153HM

Thank you for the reply.
I would like to get a similar setup on my inspire. I am pretty new to this scence. So do you have links on how I can get these loads on my phone. Will fashing Virtuous Unity give me the radio and RIL or are there different individual methods for it? Also, do you still have htc sense 3.0 with this config?

yes unity is sense 3. yes a new rom will change your ril. no it will not change your radio. visit the hack kit thread to get u started. and mudknot has a good forum for beginners it's stickied in the general section. good luck

All threads have very good instructions on what needs to be done to install these things. Yes Virtuous Unity is a Sense 3.0 ROM.
If you haven't already, you'll need to start here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352) and Root/Unlock/S-Off the phone, then flash the ROM, then flash the Kernel, then flash the Radio, then flash the RIL (order of last 3 doesn't really matter).

Thank you for the links. Will try this today and let you know how it went. Also can I backup these stock rom and radio/RIL etc before I do this. I know you can backup the existing rom when i am on a custom rom, but is it possible with the stock rom? Same for the radio?
Thanks
John

No way that I'm aware of. However this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507) is a tool that's developed/being developed to return you to bone stock, unrooted (ROM, Radio, RIL, S-On. don't know if it reverses SIM unlock and SuperCID). This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224) is the stock RUU - it will leave you S-off but flash stock, unrooted ROM, Radio, and RIL

New to rooting with this phone

I have rooted 3 phones prior to this one. I have it all set up and running Refuse 1.7. I have seen that there are a good load of roms available for the infuse 4g. Many of them say 2.3.5, etc. Is that the android version needed by the phone before installing the rom? I am on 2.2.1 and am worried about installing any other rom, than one which has froyo in the name leaving me with only 3 choices. Any help would be appreciated I want to try a miui rom or something else from here but am worried that since I have 2.2.1 when I install one that has 2.3 in its name I will brick.

No bro, the " 2.3.5" or "2.3.6" its that ROMs Android version, not the one needed to install it, still you do need a modified recovery to easily install a custom rom. I would personally recomend this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
as a good guide for new guys trying to install custom roms since the instructions are very detailed and hardly would give you trouble. After installing that rom you would have gathered the necessary knowledge to choose your next rom like MIUI or CM7 or another samsung Infuse rom or Samsung port to Infuse.

[POLL] Kernel Knowledge

I am experienced with rooting and flashing Roms, but I have never flashed a Kernel. I know how to and I know why I would need/want to. I am just wondering what I need to do if I decide to flash a different Rom or even return to stock Rom. Example: If I flash a Kernel while running The Executioner 3 Rom for my rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, would I need to restore that Rom's original Kernel before flashing a different custom or stock Rom?

Re: [Q] Kernel Knowledge
Depends on the kernel.
Check kernel thread.
But I doubt you will have any problems

So pretty much I would just be able to wipe data and cache and flash new rom as usual?

Nah when you flash a new rom, it flashes its own packaged kernel as well. If you flash a newer version of that rom, say Executioner 3.5 was released, it would also flash its own kernel so you would need to reflash your other custom kernel if you wanted that back. If you're moving between different roms, you wipe and clear away all of the previous mods/kernels/etc that you flashed from your prior rom.

Questions and help go in Q&A
I changed the title to reflect a POLL rather than question
FNM

what i do is set up rom to my liking, make a nandroid, then flash kernel, if i dont like the kernel i go back back to my nandroid.

Thank you all for the great answers.
