It looks like that was the wrong file. He accidentally uploaded his EB ROM. So, it isn't in the dev section.

ROM and Kernel

Hello First time poster , but ive been reading for a while now. Im a complete noob, but i successfully rooted my phone through the guides here, so ive done some extensive searching through the forum.
I really like my rooted infuse, but i totally envy my gf's gs2 . I wont be able to renew my contract until next year, so for now, i want to use my phone to its full potential. Opinions are welcomed,
I basically have a rooted stock phone running froyo 2.2.1. Read through a bunch of comments how froyo operated better than GB on the infuse, what are your thought on that?
Reason i ask is because i would like to run a custom rom, i really like MIUI, CM7, and ZEUS. I went through endless pages but im tied between them.
Which would you recommend. Im looking for performance, style and stability. I know its a matter of opinion, but im open to what many have to say.
Bit a confusion too, since i have a rooted 2.2.1 froyo will doing a custom rom automatically, upgrade me to gb or even maybe ics.
I also have seen in some threads where many mention that some of the roms come with a custom kernel already. Which ROMs would those be?
Im a noobie, but i did search the forum. You can lead me into the right direction that'd be great
Please and thank you

First off, welcome to the forum. When it becomes to roms it all depends on ur liking. We have a lot non official custtom GB roms. This is the beaty about android, flash until u find the one you like and that goes for modems and kernels. I would suggest to start flashing and keep reading. GL and I hope you the one for you.

I'd say go with Zeus! Miui and cm7 don't have the best battery life. I'm switching from miui to Zeus tomorrow! That's should give me awesome battey life!

Hey thanks for the welcomes and not bashing the noobie.
ima flash today, hopefully everything goes good.
so far after some more research came up with a little summary of steps,
Im running rooted infuse 4g, froyo 2.2.1
so far what i got from it is,
-install 3e recovery
-clockword mod
-nandroid back up
-insert preferred rom to sd
-boot into recovery via clockword
-clear data/cache w.e
-install zip
-reboot
and done, did i forget a step? enlighten me please.
Another thing Zeus requires me to have a GB Bootloader, how would i go about doing that?
please and thank you

You're on the right track.
Get the roms and files downloaded to your pc and your phone.
might want to make a folder on your phone (ex:roms or flashhappy)
put all those files in there.
good to have entropy's latest kernel, superuser signed pak in doctorz roms too)
if you want, it may be simple also just to use sgskernel flasher from market, flash gtg infused kernel if you're on froyo and boot into cwm and go from there.

i have a fail safe method that i use. learn to use heimdall and install a driver on one port on your pc - and save that one port for only heimdall.
use adam's uckj4 heimdall package. flash it once, flash again with boot loader checked (this will give you gb bl) then flash defuse kernel in second post and then flash your rom

Thank you very much, greatly appreciate it.

You need one of these:

HTC Desire Z (Vision)
HTC Desire S (Saga)
HTC Incredible S (Vivo)
HTC Incredible 2 (Vivow)
T-Mobile G2 (Vision)
T-Mobile myTouch 4G (Glacier)
If you have an Infuse, try one of Dman's ROM...

[Q] How to Downgrade 2.3.6

Hi am a total noob here so i deicided to update my galaxy S 4G to 2.3.6 but i don't like how it looks or what it changed to the phone and i basically want to go back to stock firmware or 2.3.4.
I know you can use Odin to complete this task but am not so sure which version or how to perfrom this task...so i need a brief tutorial on how to bring it back to normal (download links would be helpful) Thank You

Did u update your phone OTA?
Also 2.3.4 is GB which is basically the same as 2.3.6.
I think whar you want is to go back to froyo which is 2.2.
Just ssearch for the KD1 file to flash your phone with Odin back to Froyo.

Prior to the 2.3.6 update in Kies Mini the stock firmware was Froyo-based (2.2.1 which was KD1). If you're wating to go back, check the Dev section. There's a sticky for the Bible that can point you to some other ROMs. Search the Dev section, too, if you're looking for a specific ROM/version.

That first link will get you onto KF1, which was a leaked GB ROM. The second is KD1 (Froyo) but has root and those things. I don't know of any non-rooted Froyo based ROMs on here, though someone may be able to correct me on that.
I looked in the file and that particular ROM does not have the boot loaders. Give me a few minutes & I'll try to find you a link.

We don't have true stock kd1. Someone is supposedly working on it. You can get close or....call t mobile and tell them you don't like the upgrade.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Try this one. It's KC1 and flashable via ODIN. Once you have this, then use the KD1 you found in the Bible to get to KD1.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kc1c...k.zip/download
+1 to what Bassmanjames said regarding no stock KD1. You're kinda stuck until one is developed.

Its okay thank you guys for trying and helping.
Who knows maybe Samsung just might release 2.3.7 (highly doubt it thought)

Definitely doubtful but I don't think you'd see much of a user interface (UI) change. That would probably come from getting Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) which, again, doubtful but we keep hoping
Let me know if you need help getting that to flash via ODIN.

I highly recommend Valhalla Final, which is a custom ROM, but is stock solid and stable and is 2.3.6.
I believe it will be the best we could get out of this phone.
Samsung will not give us ICS.
Besides, according to Google changelogs the only difference between 2.3.6 & 2.3.7 is the Google wallet service.

[Q] updating g2x

Hi, this is a really noobish question but i'm a bit curious. I have a g2x that is rooted, 2.2.2 froyo and i want to update it to the newest android version. Does that mean i must unroot my phone and then update it? Or is there a way to do it without unrooting?? Thanks!!

Search for how to flash clockworkmod recovery on the g2x. Follow those steps and then you can use it to flash any rom you want that is compatible with the g2x. Unrooting beforehand isn't necessary. If you flash a custom rom with an updated android version, it will already have root access. So no need to even reroot. Look around in the forums on your own for a while, there is plenty of information here.

Most of you're questions can easily be answered, by doing alot of reading, and searching through the forums,
(however)
There is a 'sea' of information in the forums.
So much so that it can be overwhelming To someone who has never flashed or modded their phones.
"So yes do alot of reading and research"
( but remember)
We are here to help each other,
So before you just go off and do it Willy-nilly, if you have any questions, ask and we can help you through the process.
And if your a visual person you can find alot of info on YouTube and such.

Help , pls android install

Neeed help pls, cant install stock android 2.1 whit odin, my captivate its only accept from android 2.2 and further.

Just out of curiousity, is there some specific reason you need 2.1? If you're just wanting to go back to it for nostalgic reasons, I think that the one-clicks in Development section are the only way to go right now.
If you're just trying to go back to stock for warranty purposes, I believe that AT&T officially pushed out the Gingerbread update, so you could flash that one and take it in.

Just follow the Guide. Read the 1st sentence of that Guide. Then read the 2nd sentence. :thumbup: It will work from Any Stock.

If you're only going to be going to a Jellybean rom, you could also just download a Gingerbread-based stock one-click from the development section (with bootloaders) and flash that. It would get rid of the 3e error, and give you the bootloaders you'll need to flash anything else as well.
As always, be careful when flashing bootloaders, though. Make sure you have a good connection to you computer.
