Sorry for the stupid noob post.<br><br>My computer was redone (new WIndows 7 install) and I lost al my links and information.&nbsp; I had read there was a leak of the 2.3 Gingerbread for the Facinate, that included all the usually bloatware.<br><br>This was quite a while ago.&nbsp; Since its now obvious that Verizon will not be updating our phones with 2.3 <img class="inlineimg" title="Icon Evil" border="0" alt="" src="http://cdn.droidblog.net/forum/images/smilies/smile2/icon_evil.gif" smilieid="44">&nbsp;I was wanting to root my phone.&nbsp; Does anyone have a link to the files for the Gingerbread OS? and how to install it?&nbsp; <br><br>I use to have a link to the Android forum, but I cant even find the forum on the web site anymore. <img class="inlineimg" title="Icon Eek" border="0" alt="" src="http://cdn.droidblog.net/forum/images/smilies/smile2/icon_eek.gif" smilieid="43"><br><br>Also...Does a phone have to be rooted to have the Gingerbread OS?

Interested in your root path... I'm a Droid flashaholic with an unrooted fascinate. However when I bought it.I did a data reset and sadly took the update
Usually I sell these but like the elements on this one. So I will probably put cm7 on it..
Thanks for any help..
I DID see a thread on cyanogen but seeing if I can find another way first. PEACE!
You may have seen me around the d2 forums..

So what do you need exactly? I can link you with some instructions for my rom if you'd like. But they are for a rooted fascinate, you'll need to root first.

I'm not sure, just check the treads for info on how you should flash. If you're still choosing a rom OMGB v1.2.3 is pretty awesome. I just flashed it and I haven't found any problems. Its basically stock 2.3.7 no mods. Just vanilla android. Even more vannila than JT's vannila build of 2.3.5. I'd try it.

I'm going for it! It would seem I could just dl the Rom and then just put it in PDA and flash it...but I'm not sure about if the modem and kernel have to be added or if its included...lol just new to Odin3

Well ever since I upgraded to JT's gb rom I haven't used Odin for roms. Gb roms seem to all be flashed via clockwork mod recovery. But u have to follow a set of instructions to get to the point where you can put a gb rom on and then its easy to switch, not before. I'm going to try to find those instructions to go from anything to jts vanilla gb rom for you, I figure you can follow them and then once everything's set up you can download OMGB and flash it in the recovery. But it may be a long process, but it is worth it.
