UTB or SRE?

im debating between the two tools to use when i get my captivate on thursday... i know compared with the two, there is some that has features than the other.... what would u recommend and what did u use?

Sre. It has OC and a better tether option. Even better would be to use the new hybrid Rom with unhelpfuls kernel. No need to lagfix

thanks! i was kinda leaning toward sre! is it really easy to install? i mean ive read the directions and all and looks and sounds easy... i have mac would that make it an issue? it says to use titanium backup before... sorry for the noob question but where can i get the titanium backup?
edit: so i need to root first then do the sre?

Once you get your Captivate get Ryan's One Click lag fix and use it only to root your phone. Then you will have Super user permissions, next step would be Titanium Backup available on the market which you need root to get. Next step get ROM Manager donated version off the market and use Clockwork mod recovery through ROM manager to always perform backups before flashing new ROMs or Kernals. Yes, SRE is easy to install. The only trouble you will run into is Odin one click is for windows systems not Mac so you will probably need to have acccess to a windows based pc if you ever eff your phone and need to flash back to stock.

You should root first so that you have ROM manager and Titanium to back up before flashing SRE. One Click lag fix on the market will do this for you, but only use it for rooting not the lagfix. Tatuyama's ext4 lagfix is better imo.
Unhelpful's Kernal is included in SRE, fyi.
The new hybrid ROM still has some bugs and SRE is as good, imo.

thank you for ur response! it was very helpful! what if i use parallels and run win 7 and use SRE? if not then i guess i have to use UTB??

Nope, just an update.zip check the developers section. Super easy and no more odin needed unless you need to revert to stock first

i'm running the non overclock version of sre and the tatayuma ext4 lag fix. so far has been very stable. i'm very happy with the combo.

so odin is basically a "factory restore?" and can odin be used only on windows based computers? so once i get my captivate i can go straight into SRE?

odin is a program that will apply factory firmwares to your phone. so whether you want to restore to stock or try some of the newer leaked firmwares available, odin is the tool to use. and as far as i know it is for pc only.

thank you for clarifying. so it is only windows based? parallel's might not work? well i hope when i do run SRE, i will be good! im not really into modifying the phone heavily. just wanna run SRE cuz it sounds very promising and helps make the device run smoother.

i am currently using the non OC version of sre along with the tatayuma ext4 lagfix and i am very happy with it. everything has been very stable thus far.

can u provide me to the right place for the tatayuma ext lag fix? so why aren't u using the OC version of sre? so u applyed the tatayuma then sre and ur good?
edit: nvm i found the tatayuma... just dont know what to use!!! theres quite a few to choose from!!! how did u all manage to choose the right one???

the tatayuma works very well with sre. the order i went in was flashed to stock rom->flashed sre->installed lagfix. i didnt want to go with the oc version because i think the phone is fast enough as it is and really what is another 200mhz going to do to this phone? as for the lagfix, i went with the ext4 as it has been proven to be more stable than the ext2. for me i am more concerned with reliability over power/speed. overclocking means more heat and more power being sucked out of the battery and we all know this battery is quick to die.

[How To] Root the Rogers Infuse 4G - NOT for AT&T Infuse owners

Instructions:
1) Create a folder on your internal SD card called Voodoo. Then create another folder inside of it called disable-lagfix.
2) Make sure the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Installing Kies is a good way to accomplish this. It shouldn't matter which version of Kies you install as they all contain the same USB driver.
3) Download and unzip Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip.
4) Right click on Odin3_v1.81.exe and run it as administrator.
5) Place your phone into download mode. Do this by powering it completely off and then holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable.
6) Make sure your phone shows up in Odin as COM##.
7) Click the PDA button and choose PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.tar.md5.
8) Press Start.
9) If the phone doesn't automatically reboot after it completes the flash, just pull the battery and then replace it and turn on the phone.
10) You should now be rooted and see the Superuser app installed on your phone.
Optional post root procedures:
-You may want to install BusyBox from the Market after rooting. It's required by some root applications.
-If you would like to revert to the stock kernel after rooting, follow the same procedure but instead use Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip. You will not lose root by reverting to the stock kernel. If you enabled Voodoo lagfix at some point, you must disable it before reverting to the stock kernel.
-If you would like to enable Voodoo lagfix, just delete the Voodoo folder you created on your internal SD card and reboot.
-You may access CWM recovery while using the kernel you flashed to get root. To access it, power off your phone and with the phone powered off hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release.
-You may install my Infused v2 ROM if you wish. Just enable Voodoo lagfix and then follow the instructions titled "Installation from stock or from Infused v1" in my thread. You will not experience the known bugs listed for the ROM like us AT&T owners.
--Downloads--
Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip
Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip
Here are the mirrors for the rogers kernels: (By threi_)
Minus folder for both (and other Rogers stuff will be added)

Yep. ## just means some number, any number.

Com port number doesn't matter; hence the ## designation. Your computer will assign whatever I/O port is currently available. May not always be 05. just as long as you wait 'til one is assigned.

ahhh awesome thanks guys! I just wanted to double check =) I'll let you know how it goes !!

Flashing a kernel doesn't erase any data at all. The kernel is what makes the system boot and work, but it isn't tied to your apps at all.
An analogy I can think of is when you change an engine in a car(change a kernel in a phone), none of the CDs in your radio/songs on your mp3 player(apps/data on your phone) are effected at all.

kernel are backend, drivers and such. they are independent of the rom And data. roms can also be flashed without clearing data even in Odin but many devs write scripts that wipe because left over data can cause many issues, especially if there are roms for different carriers and different OS versions available.

Ahhh i see! both very helpful responses thanks guys makes a ton more sense now !!

Nice to see some other Canadian Infuse Owners!
You guys(and gals!) rooted?

Yupp i agree ! I was wondering where we all were lol. I am. Are you on stock chewy?
sent from my bad ass infuse

yeah am still on stock, waiting for GB to 'mature a bit'. Also looking forward to some OC action with the kernels.
Edit: I was rooted with GTG465x's rooting kernel for a few days , then had a couple days with lagfix on, it was much faster! Back on stock one now mostly because I REALLY missed the accelerometer sensor.
Is a fix for the sensor issue in this kernel possible? Any other known bugs?
Am I right In thinking that its best to stay out of clockwork kernels, and to flash back to e3 for daily driver duty on the phone.
Would it be feasible to get a Rogers Kernel with Voodoo and Lagfix on e3?
Thanks for any help!

I hope this isn't a silly question, but...
If I just wanted to root, and stick with the stock Roger's kernel from the get-go, can I just run Odin3_v1.81.exe and select the PDA_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.tar.md5 ? OR do I absolutely need to have Infused pushed first.

You need to flash the Infused kernel first and then flash back to the stock kernel. The Infused kernel is what does the rooting.

@gtg465x
So this kernel is based on stock Rogers but with root and voodoo lagfix...please correct me....thanks

No the ROOTER kernel is not stock(I believe GTG465x is source, and I flashed it before Rogers dumps were made), but its the way to root for Rogers Infuses. The phone worked fine here on that kernel, sensor issue was only one I encountered, Voodoo lagfix WAS quicker too. Be sure to follow Voodoo removal instructions before flashing back to stock kernel. The stock kernel retains root and restores perfect accelerator sensor function.
I am a USER, not a DEV ,so please correct me if I'm wrong, I have a thirst for knowledge.

[Q] No root after flashing PBJT novodoo 0807

I flashed the latest PBJT 0807 novodoo kernel on a fresh EE4 phone using CWM 0730.
When the phone boots I hear the droid boot noise, but the screen is black with no logo.
In about this phone the kernel shows as:
2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
However when trying to run applications that need root or trying SU in the terminal I says I do not have root. Wifi tether says "Not root"
I have tried wiping the cache from CWM and rebooting and still have the same problem. Can anyone help or let me know if I need to provide more information?

Reflash with a full Odin of a custom rom. Don't stay stock. Eclipse, GummyCharged, or Humble.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1

I would really like to stay stock with a novoodoo kernel. Should the 0807 kernel be giving me root access, I thought it should?
Here is the dump of root checker, I've tried installing the super user app from the marketplace but still no go.
Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - is NOT installed!
The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the Android Market
The adb binary is set to default shell user access as root
Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/bin/su:
/system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/xbin/su:
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Alternate su binary location: ls -l /sbin/su:
/sbin/su: No such file or directory
SU binary not found or not operating properly

Have you tried reflashing with Odin? Trust me, once you flash a custom rom you wont ever go back to stock.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1

When you say have you tried reflashing with odin do you mean with a custom rom or do you mean to reflash cwm and try to update the kernel again? I've run custom roms before but would prefer to run stock.
Am I mistaken in my thinking that the pbjt kernel alone should have given me root?

He means a full odin package which would give you cwm/kernel/ROM all in one. I love Eclipse but I understand if you just want a stock phone with root so just try reflashing CWM in Odin and reflashing your kernel in CWM, that should do it. If not, redownload your kernel and CWM then try again, you might have got a bad download. Also, when you're flashing make sure you use the stock cable that came with the Charge.

Thanks blarrick I'll give that a shot. Does the lack of a logo screen indicate that something went wrong? Also does flashing the new kernel place the su binary in the system bin?

I had problems with trying to go back to stock using voodoo kernels (the disable didn't work properly). I've gotten stuck with a soft bricked phone even after following instructions with the .pit and full image.
I felt that I would have less chance of doing that again if I didn't use a voodoo kernel and didn't have to worry about the fs conversion.

He probably just wants a stock Droid Charge that can use root apps like wireless tether and stuff.
Odd that it's still not working, you might have to do a full factory reset but don't try it yet, keep looking for answers i just think it's weird that you aren't getting a bootup animation.

Yeah the whole no boot animation is the concerning thing, it's also weird that it shows the expected imnuts kernel. If flashing the no voodoo doesn't work properly (no boot animation) I'm concerned trying something else entirely might conflate the problem.

I think that going to the 0710 novoodoo may be where you need to go if you don't want to go to voodoo. I used it when I first rooted and had no root issues. The 0730 novoodoo had root issues from my experience and what some others have reported.
If you use supercurio's Voodoo Control app, you can reliably disable Voodoo to prep for flashing a ROM.

[HOW-TO]EXT4 on GummyCharged1.9RC1 (EP1Q)

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3163
this thread is now null and void lol. for anyone that wants it, kejar released his own updated Cwm version of gummycharged. follow the link above for his ext4 lagfix instructions.

Does this work? Anyone try?

works, nice write up too
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G

awesome thanx for figuring it before i had to try a thousand combonations...

This is awesome!

How long should it stay at Samsung after doing all of the steps? I did all of the steps. Samsung flashed several times. Now its just staying at Samsung. Been this way for a couple of minutes.

sdcard issues
ok, first of all I did this and everything worked fine.
Upon first reboot, I think it went 4 or 5 times through the samsung bootloop and then loaded the rom (i wasn't watching it fastidiously).
Upon loading the rom and loading my apps from titanium backup, I finally hit the issue of not being able to move apps to the sd card; it just comes up with "failed to move application". I've rebooted just to make sure things weren't off from first boot. It's still not letting me move any apps to sd (even if allowed in the os).
Any ideas on what to try next?

I'm still at Samsung logo. Don't think its going to load the Rom. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Following the steps. This is the second time I've tried this.

NM, figured it all out.
Going to give it a shot shortly.

This failed to work 3 times. Going back to RFS Gummy.

did anyone else lose ROOT access after booting up?
I used Imnuts' EP1Q hacked kernel flashable via CWM.
I went to TB and it said I didn't have root access. Flashed superuser.zip and still no go.

From what I have read over at Rootzwiki, that seems to be a problem exclusive to Imnuts' hacked kernel (possibly, he posted that he is looking into it as some users used his kernel and didn't have this problem). This process uses another kernel.
I was waiting for more users to give reports back, but I might just give this one a go.

[Q] Stock kernel & voodoo lagfix

I recently flashed dman's UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned] ROM.
I went back to the stock kernel to get video back, because it is an important feature to me. I read through the entire thread to find all the post-flash fixes.
However it is unclear to me whether I can/should re-enable voodoo lagfix. I am guessing the answer is the kernel will only work with an RFS file system.
The Infuse did seem a bit faster before I disabled lagfix.

I actually read through much of the Zeus thread, but wanted to try something a bit less intimidating first.
I don't care about HDMI. It is a pain to use with the Infuse anyway. Video playback a must for me though. I put the ROM's kernel back on the phone last night to do a nandroid backup. I'm going to flash Zeus tonight and try it out.

Thanks for this. I had the same question. After a considerable amount of effort, I managed to get Dman's rooted etc. stock UCLB3 ROM going (using a combination of methods!). Voodoo Lagfix was amazing. Not only did the system seem smoother, but my wifi was amazingly fast. I'd love to switch back to Voodoo Lagfix, but if I can't film or watch vids, I can't (I don't need HDMI though). Would you recommend flashing a different kernal to get similar performance results but with video? I've noticed that you mention Entropy quite a lot. As interesting as the custom ROMs look, each one is missing a feature that I need!

If you want to run dmans rooted stock, IMO, the best way to run it is with entropy DD kernel. The latest is not yet available yet, but the 3.4.2012 is available without hdmi.
Flash the ROM. Download the kernel. It's in cwm flashable format. Flash the kernel in cwm.
Boot into recovery. Go to voodoo menu. Check the lagfix status. If it's already enabled, you're done. If it's disabled, you need to toggle enable next boot and system file conversion on.
Reboot and voodoo conv will take place.
If you cannot access the extra micros, you'll need to edit the vold.fstab file

Thanks! I'll give it a try. This info may be up somewhere else (and if so, I'll find it): can entropy DD be flashed from SGS Kernal Flasher? Also, Voodoo is currently disabled (following the instructions from Dman). Would it make a difference if I enable it before flashing entropy DD?
One other question: would it be bad to use your entropy one-click package on the rooted stock?

Yes. sgs kernel flasher is fine. Make sure the kernel is in zip format.
Don't enable voodoo until you are on DD.

Done! Thanks for your help.
Edit: Just stopping by to say that this combo (DD+rooted stock) has been working brilliantly! I'm a big fan now of VooDoo and entropy's DD. I'll be dropping some coins their way.

I have latest dd kernel in revolution
