can i install the infused rom on a unlocked samsung infuse?
I don't see why not. I mean your already rooted right?
As long as you are rooted you can install a rom, for the infused rom you also need modded 3e recovery. Unlocked does not have anything to do with roms, it only allows you to use non att similar cards.

My AT&T Captivate is alright using the Odin 2.2 for galaxy S update, but it has bugs because I'm pretty sure the one released was pre-release.
is there any way to flash the rogers 2.2 update on? Does anyone have it? I'm in Canada, and sim unlocked. I tried to use kies and it says unsupported device...

some info if you have installed 2.2 and now have e3 recovery and are having trouble installing clockwork recovery mod, where it fails verification check

Is there any one click flashes for cognition or firefly? I still haven't been able to get my clockwork working even though I rooted this JI6 os, or figure out how to use these zip files. I would prefer something that works with Odin or something like it if possible. (where is the link to the latest Odin? I did a seach for odin and got about 900 results and couldn't find it).
I just rooted my evo 4g last week but I have not done anything to it yet. I have installed a few apps like Rom Manager, wifi tether, and a few others.
I wanted to do some reading before I tried to do anything else to minimize the chances of breaking my new toy
I have been told to flash amonRA, that it is better than clockwork and it will give me the nand backup that clockwork doesn't.
I have also been told that you can just simply do this through rom manager, at the bottom, by flashing alternate recovery.
Do I need to know anything else before doing this?
does this get rid of clockwork or just ad another recovery to chose from?
After I flash a recovery image, and before I try flashing a new rom, probably mikfroyo 4.4 based on what I have read, is there anything that you would suggest?
Ok so I now own a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and like everyone else the internal memory is nearly full out of the box.
The solution.......... root your phone and install a custom ROM right!
Phone is rooted and ready, but now I have some questions in regards to installing the custom ROM.
1. How do I back everything up in case I need to roll my phone back to the original settings?
2. I have seen things that say ODIN does not work well for flashing at this point and time and may brick your phone, please confirm if this true.
3. I'm currently thinking about Darky's custom ROM, good distro or not? If its not please recommend a better one.
4. To anybody that has installed a custom ROM how much application space did you gain by this change?
Thanks in advance for the help
Backup the original ROM with ROM Manager.
I do not have a Galaxy 4G so i don't know how much memory it has, but i'm using MIUI on my Desire HD and i got some extra space after flashing it.
The original Sense ROM is about 260 MB, while MIUI is 65MB. So if you want extra space i recommend a CM7 based ROM. (MIUI is based on CM7 btw)
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
galaxy s 4g rooted
in regards to freeing more memory, when i ran out of memory i decided to root my phone and then got instructions on replacing fota files in the /data/data directory. Immediately I got about 300 meg extra memory on the phone, cause 2 fota files were 125 meg each. After that I was trying to install OCLF 2.2 but it would not work, period! And I can not find the older OCLF anywhere. Than again, I heard that older OCLF comes with root software and I am already rooted. So i froze all the bloatware using bloat freeze app, and unroot, factory reset and root it again. Now, for some reason I have 416 med available out of 514 total. Probably erased all bloatware that was frozen - really don't care about it tho. So if your phone is rooted, here is your answer! I read on XDA that the custom ROMs are on a way to the public but i don't think they are there yet. I am a noob but I would not flash my galaxy s 4g with vibrant ROM. To me it looks like sure brick, someone correct me if I am wrong
Searched but couldn't find answer to my exact question. I've rooted/unlocked my Nexus S but I haven't yet flashed a custom ROM. I've downloaded a few possibilities though
However, let's say I decide to stay on stock, the next update that comes out 2.3.5, can I just flash that like I used to before I flashed a new recovery (and renamed the original recovery file) or would I have to revert to the original recovery? If the latter, how would I do this?
---I'm finding fewer compelling reasons for custom ROMs on the great Nexus S, its stock after all! I have no reason to overclock and I'm not into custom themes. However, on my MT4G (Glacier) there were many compelling reasons to root and flash a custom ROM. I now have a close to stock experience, got rid of the bloatware, and I get 2 days of battery life with RoyalGinger 2.1.
Having said that, I'm still itching to flash a few different ROMs on the NS and compare. Why, because I can now.

You can flash signed updates without any issue with CWM or the stock recovery.
However, if you flash a new kernel / boot partition the incremental updates will fail the assert checks. The same goes for themes / modified system files. If the update does an assert on those files to patch them it will fail and not flash.
If you are running a fully stock rom, unlocked with su added on though you won't have any troubles.
I too am using a mytouch 4G and thinking about getting the nexus s just looking at the roms and themes I had royal ginger 2.1 and the battery is amazing easily go 16 hours with heavy usage is there any roms here similar to that. Also I do not see any sense 3.0 like roms maybe I missed it but when you install a custom rom does the Nfc chip still work with out any problems even though I have not seen many places in N.Y.C using it or just maybe haven't noticed. *****Edit: sorry wrong side meant to post of Tmobile nexus s******
Hello,
I've upgraded a Skyrocket to ICS via Kies the day it was released (Rogers 4.0.4), wife's phone. Went very well, nice and fast no issues.
So now she can finally use Apex launcher (bye Go Launcher!), but adding certain widgets and others functions via Apex require to be rooted (root helper).
The only way I found to root this stock ICS ROM so far is to install CWM Recovery, via this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722506.
I would like to root it without installing a custom recovery. I checked the methods listed here, but seems to be for GB only... I'll keep looking but if anyone knows... It's probably just too early, soon enough methods should pop up.
Thanks

no, u need to flash su, gb or ics its still the same process, maybe w/oneclick but i never tried that method
but whats the problem using cwm, its very safe todo and its y we can do so many things with our phones, and if need b u can always flash back to stock ics w/sammobile.com firmware files
afraid to say you'll have to have a cumstom recovery. SuperOneClick wont work. It actuallt will only work on GB 2.3.5. 2.3.6 wont. And I'm pretty certain ICS wont either.
Thanks guys, yeah I tried GB methods or rooting without CWM Recovery before posting, no go...should have rooted before upgrading her phone via Kies...
I just wanted to keep it as stock as possible for warranty reasons, in case something happens when I'm not around and the device has to be brought in to a Rogers store.
I've had mine running CWM recovery from day one, but I can restore it to stock without a problem, she's not technical at all... its her "Facebook" phone...
I guess CWM recovery will be going on there shortly...

You can flash back to 3e recovery without losing root. Unrooting is covered in post #10 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726445
