just to give you guys some more confidence i ran trusselo's super easy batch scritp on my dad's windows 7 box to hack 3e recovery.
you can look at my 3e thread in captivate general but do not attempt the kernel swap methods!
use trusselo's script on windows
if it fails or you are on a mac/linux machine then use the manual 3e fix after you root the device.
after i got 3e modded for self signed update.zip zip flashing like the old 2e recovery on 2.1 sgs phones i installed rom manager and chose the captivate cwm recovery. rebooted into recovery, reinstaled packages. phone rebooted, reistaled packages again and i was sucessfully in cwm. from there i was able to backup the stock rom and installed a .zip file that just changed my build.prop (taking baby steps) i could have spoofed the build.prop in many ways but it was for the sake of testing. the flash was successful. i booted up checked for the change and confirmed it was written to /system properly.
then i rebooted and restored the backup. there were some graphical errors including a broken progress bar and a splash screen that covers the menu when the restore is done so it is difficult to navigate, but it is something. success! the restored rom booted and the old build.prop was in place proving it was a successful restore.
tomorrow i will try a replaced vending.apk (market) and the build.prop as a market fix and post it in a thread if it works. if gtg465x doesnt mind i will try to build a rom off his deodexed rom if someone doesnt beat me to it.
i think we need a bounty to buy a dev phone for someone more knowledgable than me. i dont want to go all cowboy and brick this thing, the captivate had much more as far as backup plans so im being more cautious with this one. and even if i had a dev phone i wouldnt be of as much help as others around xda.

Very nice. I am gonna try as well. As long as CM is working I am comfortable pushing my luck a little.
Awesome! Can you post the files or the link to the thread with the files?

just look in the captivate general stickies. i would post a link but there is stuff in there that doesnt apply because we dont have any kernels to flash, i dont want to confuse anybody and cause bricks because someone flashes a sgs kernel. i might make new write up.

I was going to run the PC batch script but the download link actually downloaded a CWM zip.
That's no PC script....no batch file to be found.
EDIT: I am an idiot. Disregard.

it does but there seems to be a problem. not sure why, i had no issues flashing small mods for testing but people are having trouble flashing roms. besides that the restore process seems to give me some graphical bugs but works. as far as i can tell it works like it should but i wont discredit others claiming issues mounting the sd card.

you can use titanium backup to remove stuff. also there is odin/heimdall to flash "refuse" from h8rift. they work and are also the safety net unique to samsung phones.

Hey anyone find a way to install cwm install packages using this update.zip?
It says it can't mount the sdcard when I try to install the .zip.
Anyone?
Dani897 has already made a discussion of this, but I'm moving this information over as an official post in the Infuse 4G section as well.
This is from existz/untermensch's thread. I take no credit. See here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
Making this modification will allow you to flash un-signed .zip files due to signature verification being turned off. (3e requires root)
* Download and extract the .zip
* Use a terminal emulator or ADB Shell and mount system as read/write.
* For backup purposes, use adb or root explorer to rename the current recovery file in /system/bin to recovery.orig
* Use a file manager (Root Explorer) and copy the new recovery file to /system/bin
* Reboot and your 3e (Froyo stock) recovery will no longer require signature checking.
You can now use this recovery or use the CWM from Captivate (posted in another thread here).
I am not responsible if this bricks your phone. This is easy cheese...just follow these steps.

Yes. it is working on mine right now.

still there is disbelief. yes people it works! im not sure what trouble people are having flahsing roms but cwm and 3e can flash .zip files just fine. i expected to see some flashable mods and themes by now. i have successfully flashed files for testing purposes and im not too advanced of a user. i planed to post some things like a market fix and such but i have been disrtacted.

Dani, i completely agree. If you notice, I made mention of your testing at the top of the article.
Now that there is a dedicated thread, its much more likely to be realized that this works FINE. I think once I get a tester for the Odin package I slapped together to get us back to stock in case we brick, and get it successfully setup, i'll put a thread out and we can REALLY get to work on some ROMs.
So far, this phone's software is nearly identical to the Captivate, meaning we will just need to port from the Captivate and we will have a mass of ROMs in no time!

as soon as we get some kernel dev on this thing i agree. porting will be easy. thanks for the write ups too. are you planning to get a second phone? i would test if i had two of them. my captivate will go to my brother, if it weren't for that id have probably bricked it and begged some people to try making new odin packages for me to fix it.
i understand that after a brick the user hates not having the phone and may be very tempted to return it but it is helpful to everyone to try all you can to recover it. if mine bricks im using the insureance plan and saying it was stolen, then i will have a dedicated test phone.
I have an Atrix as well, but would prefer someone who may have already bricked to try this package that i wrote up this morning.
I dont mind someone wanting to swap.their phone...but i literally need about an hour or two of time with the brick's user and its very likely that we will have working Odin....and then you and i...as well as others... can do kernel and rom deving nearly immediately. We have source already, so we only need to test this safety net . PM me if you find someone who is bricked or is willing to test!!

I have a bricked Infuse im not sure what caused the crash. I was running stock rooted by the super one click method and was uninstalling an app when it went all black except the bottom keys. Doesnt do much of anything else now. I attempted an odin fix someone suggested to no avail. I can get into download mode still but nothing else. Id be willing to try anything to unbrick it .
it's working for me, I unzipped, put the file in my dropbox, downloaded the file on phone from dropbox, used root explorer to mount, (I'm already rooted) copied the file, went to system/bin, renamed the original, then pasted the new file, rebooted, flashed CWM to captivate, and rebooted into recovery, and it works. I still have my HTC Inspire, i'm on a 30 day run here to see if i like the infuse. So far it's the best GPS i've had, and i've had a lot of phones. I hate to think I spent 600 bucks on a another captivate. I had that phone as well, but so far i really like it.

if you can get into download mode I personally would try running the captivate odin and see what happens, buts that's just me lol. I'm a risk taker lol.
What commands do you use in ADB to mount system as read/write?

dont do that. you dont want the captivate param.ifs on here. you may loose download mode if the boot parameters get messed up. especially dont flash anything with bootloaders, that means no one click nad no 3-button fix roms. this may be similar to the galaxy s but there are atleast a few differences in hardware layout that would make that a bad idea. for instance this can run gps and camera during phone calls. the sgs cant so the way things comunicate on the board may be differet, it may also just be differences in the kernel or framework but we cant be sure.

Sweet! So the dump was good then it sounds like. So just to sum it all up, odin the pda tar and it restores and wipes EVERYTHING!
Woops! AND DEODEXED!!?!?
I'm pretty new to all of this, but here is how I did it. Make sure you have busybox installed!
Extract the "recovery" file to your phone's internal SD card.
On your phone, go into your terminal emulator.
Type in "su" and press enter.
Type in "cd /sdcard" and press enter.
Type in "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system"
Type in "cp -f recovery /system/bin" and press enter.
Reboot your phone.
Maybe this will help someone. Maybe it's not even the right way to do this, and my phone will soon explode. I'm a pretty big noob with this, so someone let me know.
PS: If you brick your phone, it isn't my fault.
Hi I came from iPhone 4 and like 2days owning this infuse, I am trying to follow gtg465x to install his ROM, I am done with the rooting and his next step is to "install 3e recovery" now that I am here I am totally lost, I downloaded the file here my Questions are:
1.where do I extract the zip I donwloaded from here? From the SD card root?
2. What thing will I use Terminal emulator or ADB SHELL to make it read/write is that 2 an Android apps I'm lost here. I am trying to be careful, I searched and found too much post and way different doing this. So now I am confuse.
Can anybody tell me how it install 3e recovery the easy and idiot proof way, like I said I am new to android I really have no idea about everything, and most of them too are initial I don't even know what the initials means. Anyone? Thanks

I came from an iphone as well, about 2 weeks ago. I used the method posted in my previous reply. It worked for me, and has been doing fine so far. One thing you must do is make sure busybox is installed before you try it though. If you dont have busybox installed, none of the commands will work. Then just download "Terminal Emulator" from the market, and use that to give commands.

I was trying to update my mom's Infuse to ICS, then all of a sudden this (attached) happened. Heimdall had just given me the libusb.dll error (I needed to update the bootloader cause I kept getting rainbows in CWM), so I was unplugging the phone so I could get the right drivers.
I have a horrible feeling I did something very wrong. I can't imagine why what I was doing would have caused this though, since the cmd had gone back to a default state after giving the error.
Is there any way to fix this?? Thanks a ton in advance!

can you get it into download mode...?
if so run the one click again and you might have to check the box for bootloaders, on the second run...meaning I would run it twice...
It does that immediately on power up. Doesn't even get to the Samsung screen. Odin will recognize the phone, but when I try to flash a return to stock package (which I used earlier perfectly fine), it says the md5 is invalid.
Like I said, I never even got to the point of installing the bootloader since I forgot about the drivers. Are you saying I should install the drivers and try to flash the bootloader again?
Thanks so much for the help! I've never had this much trouble with a phone before
EDIT: I'm a dumbass. since I couldn't see the screen, I forgot to press up again after entering download mode. Odin is now in the process of installing the aforementioned return to stock package. And I think it worked!
You have no idea how grateful I am of you for pointing that out! I feel kind of dumb for not trying it, but when the screen looked like that I could only assume there was no functionality!
THANKS AGAIN! Times a million!

What EXACTLY gave you the idea to put your mother's phone on a ROM that half works and has many bugs? Just trying to understand... I could have done this to my friend's mom's atrix, but I didn't because the stock ROM will always have the least bugs for unpopular devices like ours.

the op has the options to put what he wants, and actually if you have been tracking the ICS/CM9/AOKP threads they have made leaps in the smashing of bugs....actually very stable and good to go now, seeing how just months ago we didn't even have any ver of ICS, and yes it takes homework to install..
and you kept stock on your friends Mommy phone well that was between you and him and Mommy...

First of all, every once in a while, she asks me if there are any updates yet.
Second, there's only a short list of insignificant bugs mentioned in the ICS topics.
I flashed GB on it a while back, and I figured since CWM and everything was set up already I wouldn't have a problem; flash, reboot, flash again, done. Unfortunately, it wasn't flashing the second time for whatever reason, and I figured it had something to do with the now half-functional CWM.
Anyway, to those of you who weren't unreasonably judging me, and rather decided to help: Thank you, the phone is now back up and running!

Ok guys, so Ive rooted using the 1.85 method and unlocked my bootloader using the spoof cid and htcdev.com method. TWRP 2.2 installed, and thats about it.. downloaded CleanROM4.5, on PC moved to phone and rebooted into recovery, went to install and just comes up " Failed".. Tried twice and nothing. Got freaked out and even went and accpeted the OTA 2.2 att update, once I hit install it just reboots into TWRP and Thats it, from there i can reboot and what not and the phone functions fine a well, it just wont flash anything.. I guess maybe Im missing something..? Im not a complete noob, you could say i am a flashaholic with my HTC Inspire 4g so i dunno whats going on here. any help is appreciated..
recap
phone is currently rooted stock 1.85
Bootloader unlocked
S-on
wont let me flash, i dont get it...
If you downloaded from chrome that could be your problem, it messes up the ROMs. Happened to me as well..lol Try firefox, it works perfect
sinco54 did you :
Copy ROM to storage
Reboot to Recovery
Recommend wiping data / Factory Reset in Recovery!
Install ROM and Aroma installer will start.
Choose Standard or Lite Edition
Let install complete
Reboot to System
Profit!
I copied that from the first post of : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011
Before I wiped anything I made a backup of my 1.85 setup.
Not trying to incite you but I'm on my first android phone and it worked perfectly for me last week.
I used chromium on my pc to download the zip then transfer it to the phone, are you and SkookDroid talking about downloading the zip directly to the 1X? That would be weird if that was why it didn't work.
I tried the CM10 8/9 alpha today and had to change back to cleanrom 4.5 because the call quality was messed up. First I wiped cache and davlik cache with TWRP then restored my 1.85 backup. It said everything was ok but on restart it hung on the white 1X screen until 5min later I restarted and the restore finally took.
Good Luck with it.

I tried the CM10 8/9 alpha today and had to change back to cleanrom 4.5 because the call quality was messed up. First I wiped cache and davlik cache with TWRP then restored my 1.85 backup. It said everything was ok but on restart it hung on the white 1X screen until 5min later I restarted and the restore finally took.
Good Luck with it.

The install instantly fails due to a bad download, thats why I said to use a different browser to download the ROM from the pc then move it to the phone and flash it lol
yuup, back up done, wiped dalvik and cache, fatory reset blahblahblahblah.. instantly fails.. Im downloading via mozilla right now but, gonna give that a while once that finishes up and see what happens.. and thats why im confused, it should work JUST FINE cause ive done this 8 million times but ive gotta be missing something obviously cause it should work.. the funy part is that the phone wont even let the OTA 2.2 from att install, it just goes directly to twrp and thats it.. thats where i get lost, i cant flash from twrp and the OTA will just boot directly into twrp so its like ive missed something somewhere.. Ill update here in a few minutes once i try again with a new download via mozilla.. thanks guys and sit tight..

Does anyone check md5 sums before flashing something anymore?

No. Instead, people blame browsers for not completing downloads. It takes 15 seconds at the most to check MD5 sum and it can save hours of headache.

I was giving my opinion because chrome has given me problems before. Sorry we cant all be super devs like you, oh wait...
I wasn't trying to be sarcastic It's just that coming from the aria forum it was almost like written in stone (attn1) always check md5 before flashing anything. It's just a really easy way to make sure your not about to flash something that could potentially Bork your phone.

And your opinion is wrong. Browser has nothing to do incomplete downloads.

Depends on the devs. Some forums make things very noob friendly (like the HOX). Very convenient and nice of the devs, but when people don't even know what fastboot and ADB is, it causes a lot of grief for the devs. Just look at what happened with the scandal that almost deterred Scott from producing HOX roms. It's fine being new to the scene, but there are too many people who don't even care enough to read instructions.
Even some of the ROM developers themselves said the same thing about chrome, but since your the smartest guy around and no ones opinion matters but yours they're wrong too right? I've been here for a month, youve been here for two years. Im new to the scene and still learning, its people like you that deter newcomers from asking questions and participating in this site. Im not here to argue with you, im here to try to help out fellow users(WHICH I DID) so have a good day, sir.
yeah my bad entirely, i had assumed that because i was downloading from scott directly and not like media share or some mirror download that the md5 needed to be checked. but that still doesnt explain why 2 downloads via chrome were not good and 1 download via firefox is ok.. i dont know, but its interesting to me.. I didnt claim to be mr know it all, nor do i think i am at this stuff but your shamless sarcastic stab wether to be taken like that or not sounds like it..
I do understand this site has grown exponentially and many of the original guys are just disgusted with newbs like myself but ill tell you i do appreciate all the help ive been able to search for over the last 3-4 years as a lurker and finally registered a few months back.. I hate internet forums for this exact reason.. wether skookie was correct or incorrect he helped me and he deserves an 8 ball of the finest coke and 2 hookers for it. cheers!!
I want you to know that I try to help everyone I can and even have taken **** from some other members for not letting some members with redundant questions figure somethings on there own. As far as the downloads go I'm nit going to take sides because I've seen people report the same thing that one browser works while another doesn't. But my point still is what ever your using to download or where its being downloaded from there is always a chance that it can get corrupted or be incomplete so a quick md5 check just ensures a safe flash.

please help! I do NOT care about my root, I do NOT care about my data I just really want this to be fixed, I'm almost crying, I have no idea what to do, all i wanted was a custom battery so i downloaded one, loaded it into some app called metamorph and it said it was all good but when i restarted my phone the notification bar was gone. I cannot pull it down and this is my first android device, I have had it for 3 days and it cost me a lot of money! please help I will do anything whatsoever, I'm so worried, I'm only 16. I tried restoring my phone to factory settings, wiping my memory card as if that would do anything. please help it's all I ask!
Hi there, I have had this problem before. I am no dev so I can't explain the technical issue, but this usually happens when you flash a mod that's not compatible with your ROM... if its compatible and your ROM has updated, the mod sometimes needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest version of your ROM.
Reflashing your ROM will completely fix the issue. I hate to say it, but ALWAYS do backups before flashing anything through recovery!!!

He's not rooted it seems. You first need to calm down. Then, go to settings -> About phone and see what build you have. If it's 2.20 then go here. If it's 1.73 or 1.82 go here. If it's 1.85 then go here. Once rooted, if you have anything but 2.20 you won't need to flash the boot.img seperately. In order to flash the boot.img go here.

i am rooted on software 1.85 please help me get this stupid notification bar back, it happened when I used Metamorph to change my battery
Is there possibly a way to revert to the original through "metamorph"? Most tweaks or apps like this only work on certain devices, so check the reviews or description more thoroughly if it doesn't say your device.

That happened to me on my old LG G2X. I tried to do something similar with a different program. It was messing with SystemUI.apk. I had created a backup before it did its work so I just replaced it, rebooted and it was fine. Might not be the same problem just because the symptoms are similar. If you had an unmodified SystemUI.apk file you could probably just overwrite it. Worst case, just flash a new ROM.
But yeah, in the future always take backups before you do anything like that. I learned that the hard way a few times.

In that case just back everything up and reinstall the rom.
Thanks

thanks for everyone's help, i figured out that I did not have bootloader installed so I got that (it was a ***** because I had to fake the CID which took forever) and I installed a new ROM, thanks for the help guys, really means a lot to me
