Phone Model

I got one question but not sure if this is the right one.
Phone is rooted and installed Rom Manager. Once I clicked Rom Manager, it asks me 'confirm phone model'. I don't see samsung infuse on the list but only
Galaxy S Fascinate , Vibrant, Captvate, Galaxy S4G, Si9000. Which one I should use?

Doesn't matter, only one dev ever released ROMs via ROM Manager, and he pulled those releases because ROM Manager caused too many problems:
1) Green CWM would mis-flash too often
2) Those who did successfully flash would come to the dev thread without reading the first post of the dev thread. Manual downloads force people to at least read part of the first post.

** FAQ and useful info ** Do NOT use "Rom Manager" with these devices

Unless and until it is listed as a supported device, ROM Manager will not work properly on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, 7.7, or any other device.
How many different "tab plus" models are there? At the time of typing this answer, the following models exist: GT-P6210 (wifi only), GT-P6200 (international, 3g), GT-P6200L (region specific 3d - not sure which region), GT-P6200N (region specific 3G - Germany), SGH-T869 (USA/TMobile 3G (no voice))
ICS? Samsung has promised it, but not given a precise timeframe. Here's a thread to discuss: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446601
Having issues writing to your SDCard? There's a workaround. See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20869996&postcount=7. If you are lazy, you might also consider this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458021

Need a factory image? Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367478
Want to root your device? Scan through the development subforum - there are several threads for different models that offer different approaches. The least invasive and one that seems to work for the most devices is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367249
CWM Recovery? Click your model: GT-P6210, GT-P6200 or SGH-T869
Wifi connections to Ad-Hoc networks? It doesn't currently work... Here's a thread discussing it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429026
How do I remove CWM Recovery from my device? You need a factory image. See the "factory image" question above.
How do "unroot" my device? It's extremely easy to mess things up when doing it, so I'll be somewhat vague hoping that only those with the ability to understand my directions will attempt it: You need to get rid of /system/bin/su (which requires su and remounts to do) and then to uninstall SuperUser. If you don't know how to do this, you will probably be better off restoring a factory image. See the "factory image" question above.
Are there any ROMs for this tablet? No; a "ROM" is a Read Only Memory and all the memory on this device can be written to. In addition, in order to change ROMs (if any existed on this device) you'd need to crack open the case, desolder at least one microchip, and solder in a replacement. As all the chips are surface mount, you'd need extremely expensive equipment (and some serious soldering skills) to do this.
Are there any custom firmware packages for this device? Ah, that's a much better question. At the time of me typing this question/answer, the selection is extremely limited, and mostly just de-odex'd and re-themed packages. Please check the development subforum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1429) and themes subforum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1430) for an up to date list. Be careful to only use firmware/themes made for your device model...
"Supercharger" script? I'd avoid anything that modifies kernel parameters. This script disables a function within the kernel that will attempt to recover your device if a bug is encountered. If this script is installed as posted as of this writing, and your kernel encounters such a bug, you'll get "sleep of death" type symptoms. The author of that script has been informed of this, and may take steps to resolve that issue.
I didn't bother to read instructions and flashed a kernel that doesn't match my firmware - now my ethernet doesn't work, I'm stuck in a boot loop, etc. Please help? No, I won't. I spend a considerable amount of time writing instructions, notices and this FAQ. I find it extremely insulting that some people ignore all that effort on my part and blindly install kernels that are CLEARLY marked to not work with firmware versions. Read the "factory image" question above, go back to stock and stay that way until you learn to read.
Take care

wrong thread.

OK, let's pretend for a second that I didn't see this thread before I already read through the Dev section....
Right now trying to boot into recovery doesn't work, but I still have root access. Should I just flash back to factory and start over?
Oh, Samsung p6210: Rooted, factory ROM.

what do you mean by booting into recovery doesnt work? have you comprimised your recovery parition? try just holding power and vol + ,let it try to boot twice, continue to hold, you should get in assuming you have a working recovery. If not download quick boot from market, free and works great.
What is your issue exactly? have you tried to use ROM Manager?
In the worst case you may have overwritten a parition with an incorrect one, in which case you would need a stock ROM with a .pit file.

When I boot into recovery from Clockwork it (of course) gives me an android icon with a yellow triangle/exclamation. When I try to manually go into recovery, it says something about "installing unknown software is bad for you" and I have the option of installing (which starts "downloading" but does nothing), or restarting the tablet. Since I can't get into manual recovery I can't install the CWM file from the Dev thread...
I'm thinking the only option I have now is to do a "restore to factory."

that is download mode you are going into, maybe you have vol+ and vol - confused. vol + is the closest to the power button. If this is the button you held then it sounds like you may have overwritten your recovery mode with another download mode??
ANyways I would try flashing Garyd9's CWM recovery.zip in the development thread, and use quick boot or terminal and type reboot recovery. Let us know how you make out.

Works perfectly on gp6210
Did the CWM/root and the SD card patch this morning after reading the forum posts. Worked great, no surprises. Thanks greatly. You've done a nice job, Gary, looking forward to your latest projects.

Just as an update, I got everything sorted. I reflashed recovery from the SD card and uninstalled ROM manager, seems to be working just fine now!

seems as Riff Box can resurrect dead GT-P6200's. Keep in mind, I dont think most users would ever need this.

it got him back into download mode, but couldnt boot after Odin, Im guessing its becuase he needs to factory reset.

I have same phone. When i check its android version by "about phone" it shows "android 4.0.4" but when i check it on "factory mode" it shows "android 2.3.6". Anyway, i was trying to root it. I tried many things to do that but i couldnt. Until i found a video about that. There was a program and boot img for to root it. I tried and root was successful. Until i realised that some features are doesnt work. Like GSensor, MSensor, Gps.. I was looking for hdc i9300 rom/boot img. I hope your file will work and those features will come back..:fingers-crossed:

For those who are having some problem with g-sensor or auto rotation is not working. Just do this
1.just download this file.
chinacellulars.com/s3-firmware.zip
2.then open it with winrar and extract only the boot.img
3.take the boot.img and replace it with the one in the flash tool directory
4.then flash it using flash tool( just like you did with colonel zap instructions)
5.Switch on and off your auto rotation on display settings.( sometimes needed)
6.Cheers...
Here's the trick to get rooted and solved the problem with g-sensor
1. Root your phone using colonel zap instruction using downloaded files from his site
colonelzap.blogspot.de/2012/08/hdc-galaxy-s3-i9300-rooting-and-play.html
2.Follow the instruction above to solve g-sensor problem.
Hope this will work on you....

Any help will be appreciated, thanx.:good:

[Q] Fearful of "Confirm Phone Model"

Hey guys , names Carocrazy132 I'm native to a host of other forums so feel free to flame if I make noob mistakes, I deserve it :highfive:
Anyways, yesterday I got my new Galaxy S Blaze 4G (on 2.3.6) via T-Mobile contract and some $ and I love it. Today, I rooted it and installed CWM via Odin 3 v1.85, however, I didn't use CWM on my last phone (Motorola Droid X2) so I don't really understand how ROM Manager (v5.0.2.1) works and I'm scared away from clicking like i normally would by the following message: "Confirm Phone Model". It lists the Galaxy S i9000 and T-Mobile Galaxy S2, but certainly no Galaxy S Blaze 4G. I followed several links to the CWM ROM Manager section (which I can't post the link to) where I still found no Galaxy S Blaze 4G.
Are most features of ROM Manager not working, is there another phone compatible with it, does it not matter, or is there another way?

ROM manager does NOT support our phone. DON'T click anything. UNINSTALL ROM MANAGER!! Manually get to CWM, although, ROM Manager can take you there.

Yea if you are using Rom manager to boot into recovery/download mode I suggest using Quick Boot. It works on GB and ICS roms and is very simple.

[Completed] Where to find correct instructions for installing custom ROM - Samsung GT-I9100p

I would like to find accurate instructions on how to install a custom recovery and custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100p.
I have examined many conflicting pages of instructions over the past few weeks across many threads in various forums, and I think it is time that I ask for help, please.
I am concerned that most of the custom recoveries and custom roms are for the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 model, and not for my model which is the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100p. At this point, I don't mind losing the NFC functionality. I just don't want anything to go wrong that can't be fixed if I install the wrong thing.
I have copied to my removable SD card "recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip" and from the "Android system recovery <3e>" I selected "apply update from external storage", and then selected "recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip". This allows me to access "ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.5", but after I reboot from here and re-enter the recovery (holding power, home and vol up), it goes back to "Android system recovery <3e>" each time. I understand that this may be because this model of Samsung phone cannot accept a permanent installation of a custom recovery. I have read that it requires flashing a kernal with the custom recovery included into it.
I am not sure if what I have read so far is accurate. Please could you advise me where to look from here.
Thank you.
