Root Needing Serious help w/Rooting issues!?!?

[emjo1986]

Please, I know this is long. . . But I really need somebodys help. I have a Samsung Fascinate. Been having problems w/it for several months now. I have been back and forth with Verizon and have done several Factory Data Resets and have recieved 3 "Certified Like New Replacements". I still continued to have problems so a friend of mine said he knew how to fix my problem and rooted my phone w/o me knowing or even telling me there was a risk of voiding my warranty on my phone. He swore up and down that it would fix all of the problems and it hasnt. I called Verizon and they said they will replace my phone for free w/ a different one since I am continuing to have problems w/it. They said my warranty will be voided if there is any physical or water damage,or any signs of rooting. I just recieved the replacement today (which is not new like they said it would be, its another "Certified like new replacement"). I have to send the fascinate back w/in 5 days and I am wondering if there is anyway to UNROOT my phone so my warranty doesnt get voided. Also my friend told me that a simple FDR should solve my problem. Which with my past experience w/ his so called "Expertise", I am not too sure about anything he says now. I really need some help and advice. If I had known what he was doing w/my phone would void my warranty, I wouldnt have ever let him do it. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! Oh and by the way, I am not genius, I need information that is going to be simple and easy to follow. Thank you.

I looked at all of that stuff and I am so unbelieveably confused. I have no clue what I am supposed to do still. I hope you can forgive me for my technical ignorance. If you have the time I need step by step help because I dont know what I am supposed to do with those links and how to really do any of those things or even what any of this stuff means.

5. when it says Download with a big yellow triangle you are ready
6. Click on PDA on Odin *(ONLY ONLY ONLY USE PDA)*
7. Select the Di01 .tar file you downloaded up there

If you are that confused about the information, you should NOT do anything to your phone. Un-doing some of these things to your phone are difficult.
Return the phone to verizon until they give you a phone that works correctly.

With all do respect I am a very fast learner and just needed somebody to tell me EXACTLY what I needed to do. . . and my problem was I couldnt take my phone back to Verizon w/o voiding my warranty. . . But all is good and taken care of now thanks to tgulch22.
