(update 21/07 5pm) JACHeroSKI FULL 32B Fully Working (Any dream ROM :))

Hi,
Sorry if I'm wrong,
But thanks to NK02 mentioning in a thread to make one small change to boot.img ramdisk I now have JACHero 2.7.3 fully working (WIFI Bluetooth & FAST!) on my Magic 32B.
I used the normal update.zip from the dream forum, and extracted and changed the boot.img and flashed it in fastboot.
Heres the boot.img to save you making the change as well
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R8OX15W1
I had also previously partitioned my sd card to have an ext2 and swap partition, all of which have been set up automatically so I know the boot.img is working as intended.
Very happy bunny now
UPDATE:
Seems to work for some. Having your SD card prepped with 3 partitions helps a lot.
Speed is going to be slower than say the NK02 Cyano ROM, but thats down to Rosie and the limited RAM, don't think we'll ever get that perfect.
At least now we know a way to use Dream Roms easily (sorry 32A owners, I think K4R1M will have something for you later)
UPDATE 5PM
i just used same method on cyanogens latest rom and works perfectly

Sounds real nice :> What about the gyro/compass ? Doesnt seem to work for me when using the original JACHero 2.7.3

Running well after 1 hour, widgets all stock not removed any and NO rosie reloads.
Little bit of lag, but nothing terrible (and for me to say that means it is hardly there!)
Anyone else tried it? I want to rule out me doing something silly
Compass working (at least in sky map)

Hi Again
Trying to set-up my sd card paritions, but parted command in adb shell is not working (not found error). Do I need a particular recovery image to be able to use parted ?
Thanks!

i dont think there is a magic recovery with the parted command. thats why i used a Gparted live usb boot (google unetbootin - will create a bootable usb stick for you) and a card reader in my netbook (yes I use a MSI wind with OSX )

well done dazcox.
can you please describe the process people need to take to load up boot.img?
eg. recovery screen, wipe, flash G1 ROM, reboot, let ROM load, reboot into fastboot, flash boot.img,.. and the required commands etc.
might be annoying, but it'll help to answer the flood of questions that your answer has brought
presumably as each new ROM produces changes we will need to edit the boot.img each time, as they may contain updates, yah?

Yes, I would assume each time new release we make the change.
My Process was this.
download the scripts from http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
(beware if on OSX google and download newer cpio utility and copy to /usr/bin)
Download JAChero 2.7.3 full from dream forum
rename downloaded file to update.zip and copy to sd
on computer open update.zip and extract boot.img
Use unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img to extract the kernel and ramdisk
in the ramdisk dir rename init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc
repack-bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel.gz boot.img-ramdisk boot1.img
On your phone reboot to recovery (I use amon ra recovery from this forum)
BACKUP (nandroid is your saviour)
wipe
apply update.zip
reboot, but go straight to fastboot (vol down + power)
in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot1.img
reboot
enjoy
*decide you want to try something else and start all over again*

For me who already have JACHero 2.7.3 installed with the cyanogen kernel, can I just flash the boot.img or do I need to make a complete wipe and include it into the update.zip?

I would rather use the full update.zip and then flash the boot.img to be sure.
Sorry - I'm learning as I go and don't know how to sign an update.zip yet

@ dazcox5181
can you make a working update.zip for us?

I might later, probably not though, as it's really easy to do.

I've followed the steps, and after flashing the boot1.img adn rebooting, the phone is really taking forever.
The screen is totally dark but i know the phone is on as i can enter through adb to it.
Any tips?
I had from before a class 6 card with 3 partitions, FAT, ext2 and swap (in that order).
Thanks

did you wipe/flash the normal (not ported) jachero rom first?
Then fastboot flash the boot.img?

Yes please +1

Signing and uploading update.zip now...
When I get my paypal sorted you all owe me a beer!
I'm flashing it myself to be sure, upload will be done in about 20min then i have to do some work.
My update_signed.zip failed, can't find update script error.
Anyone help? the only file I changed was the boot.img?

With the new update all predone all that needs doing is the partitioning of the sd card to be fat32 + ext2 then update rom in normal way, correct?

I decided to try just flash the boot image before redoing it all to see what would happen, and it is actually working Wifi and gyro didnt work before but is now.
The only thing is that Bluetooth A2D2 mode (playing music) doesn't seem to work. It says "playing media through bluetooth headset" but I get no sound. Can anyone confirm that this is working for you? If so maybe I will need to wipe and reinstall anyway.

[GUIDE] Newbie's Step-by-Step: From Stock Cellular South Showcase 2 Kernel/ROM +

After bdemartino wrote his AWESOME thread for the Mesmerize it seemed only fitting that the Showcase get their very own... And since his Thread was Flawless, with his permission I'm mostly copy/pasting word for word.
THIS GUIDE IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SHOWCASE
If you're Looking For FROYO Skip down to the bottom of this post to the Section Labled FROYO!!!!!
Keep in mind there are many variations to each step, this is what worked for me the easiest.
And last but not least. There is always the disclaimer that attempting any of this can and will make your phone dysfunctional and or possibly bricked beyond repair (but most likely just dysfunctional which is a pain in the arse to deal with) if you do not follow steps completely (and of a trustworthy source such as xda - ehm and in the appropriate forum ).
So make sure you're in a comfortable environment (not a good idea to be trying to accomplish this while slamming beers at the bar), take your time, read each step that these people have taken the time to carefully write up (then follow it), and you'll be just fine. Be patient as things don't always move fast and you never want to freak out as you may screw things up bad, when it's actually just taking longer than you would expect. Always give it at least 5 minutes before you determine it's looping or crashing or whatevering, there is alot going on behind the scenes, trust me!
Steps to Customize Your Stock Showcase (For Eclair 2.1)
1) Root your phone. - Basically all this means is gaining the ability to give programs/apps and yourself SuperUser access (equivalent of being admin in windows) and also the ability to flash roms via recovery, detailed below.
The easiest way to root is through the z4root.apk. (an application that will run right on your phone)
Download Here
After download, put z4root.apk on your SD card root directory
Then make sure in Settings->Applications that the "Unknown sources" box is checked.
If you don't have a file manager, download a free one from the market, using the file manager navigate to the z4root.apk and select to install it. Note: If you need help at this step, no offense I would suggest getting someone with more experience to help you continue on. I'm serious here
Reboot your phone
After it boots, open the z4root app and press root. At this point it is going to hang, give it 2 minutes and pull the battery. Count to 10, put it back in and turn it on. - This is normal
After your phone boots open z4root again and click root, this time it will run no problems and phone will reboot.
NOTE**IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH z4root: "give Super One Click a try. It's a package you have to download to your computer, but you get to see more of what's actually going on so you know where it's at in the process. I have only used up to version 1.5.5, and I know that version is very capable for the Showcase on 2.1. It is located here."-This Information provided by phidelt82**
Once you are rooted (you will see the superuser icon in your apps, it will show apps you've given that permission to... eventually) you will need to make sure you have a file manager that can request root permissions (read/write) before you will be able to complete the next step. Search the market for "root file manager" and pick one to download and install.
I use Root Explorer
It's a few bucks, but there's hardly a day that goes by when I don't use it.. (Well worth the money)
Also at this step I would download and install RomManager and TerminalEmulator as you will need these later.
2) Install RomManager and the ClockworkMod Recovery. These will basically just give you the ability to boot into recovery where you can more easily flash kernel's/rom's and anything else you wish to push to your phone. (Recovery is basically a bios like interface - but it's different than the stock version)
I was able to install the Clockwork Mod Recovery very easily just by simply using the root file manager app I had downloaded, along with following with the instructions.
(In your file manager, MAKE SURE YOU ARE Read/Write not Read/Only, for RootExplorer there is a toggle at the top, other ones you may have to enable this through settings, others may just be R/W by default, you will just have to determine this or google the app)
Download the two Files you need from the bottom of this post
Place both files on your SD card root if you were using a computer to download them or you could always download them through your phone's browser
Using the root file explorer app, move the Redbend_ua file from the SD card to /system/xbin/
Long press on the Redbend_ua file and click permissions, there should be one check missing, check that so that all are marked. Save and exit.
Now open TerminalEmulator
NOTE:The spaces below are actual spaces and in bml8 there is a lowercase "L" not a "1" there is also a space after cd, after redbend_ua, after restore, and after recovery.bin
TYPE THIS ALL EXACTLY AS SHOWN BETWEEN THE QUOTES
at the command line ($) type "su" (then hit enter)
Type "cd /system/xbin" (then hit enter, which changes directory)
Type "redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8" (then hit enter, It will now scroll a bunch of text and reboot.)
After phone boots, open RomManager
Click on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
Select the Samsung Fascinate your phone will still be the Showcase. This is just what works with our model.
At this point you're all stock and ready for new kernel/rom. (but now you are able to do so very easily)
Accessing Recovery!!!!!
NOTE: There are a few ways of getting into recovery mode. The easiest is to download QuickBoot.
Once installed you can install the widget to any homescreen or just use the app from the app drawer. Once you open the app, click Recovery and it automatically reboots the Phone into Recovery..
You may have to click the install update.zip (while you're on the stock kernel after Voodoo you won't have to anymore)
The other method, which you will need incase you EVER Bootloop! Is the 3 finger method (Hold down the volume up and down keys and the power button all at the same time when you're turning your phone on) Once you see the Samsung splash screen you can remove your finger from the power button, but keep holding down both volume keys!!!
Incase of Bootloop, remove the battery and do this while Rebooting...
AGAIN WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A STOCK KERNEL, YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO *apply sdcard:update.zip* after you enter the FIRST RECOVERY...
The next Screen will be Clock Work Mod, this is where you will want to do your First Nandroid Backup!!!!
3) KERNEL: Install Voodoo lagfix kernel and new 5.0 sound
Now onto Installing a Voodoo Kernel
If you want speed and good battery life (and high standard marks) +unlocking the headphone amp and eq controls (it makes even the samsung headset sound killer) go here and follow those steps for using your now functional recovery mode to flash the new Voodoo 5.0 kernel.
Now you can install Voodoo Control and get new life out of those earbuds!!!
Note: Just an FYI, after installing custom kernel's you will always have an issue on start up of seeing a flashing black box in the middle of the samsung logo. This can be corrected by installing a custom boot screen (only requires root access) and you can find out how here.
4) Custom ROM : Download and install the ROM of your choice.
Right now we really only have 1 that I recommend..
It's Phidelt82's PicknPack Rom
This is a deodexed Rom which allows you to use MODS and themes. This ROM is 100% Stable, I've been running it for a WHILE with ZERO issues...
MODS/Themes/Customization
NoClock in the Status Bar
Midnight Theme
HoneyComb Digital Clock
Shutdown Animations or Images
Bootanimations with new Boot Sounds
Of course there is WAY more than these listed, but this should fill up your afternoon playing around with your new and IMPROVED Showcase!!!
FROYO FOR THE SHOWCASE = YUMMY!!!!
Yes, for those of you that didn't already know, thanks to Phidelt82 we now have Froyo!!!! I've been running it for about a week and it's Delicious!!!
I'm not going to Write as much as I did for the 2.1 b/c the directions are in the threads already.. Just follow the Directions, if you have any problems after that read through the threads and see if anyone's already figured them out...
And this will work with a Factory Showcase!!!!!
First of all you need to go to:
[Froyo-Odin] Showcase EB11 - Cellular South Update (be sure to Thank Phidelt82)
After this you will have 2.2, now you can use:
SuperOneClick to root your new Froyo Showcase (if you want)!!!
And if you plan on doing Mods/Themes/etc.. You should go ahead and Flash the EB11 Showcase Pick-n-Pack, again be sure to thank Phidelt82 for this!!!
If you flash the PicknPack Rom made by Phidelt82, then there's no need to root... It comes PREROOTED.. You only need to ROOT if you're staying on the Stock 2.2!!!
If you're flashing the picknpack do a Nandroid backup after you're done.... If you're going to stay on the Factory 2.2, do you a Nandroid backup after that...
Thanks to lmartin92, JT1134, Phidelt82, we now have a voodoo kernel with lagfix for 2.2 which can be found HERE...
If you're new to using voodoo lagfix kerenls.. Remember to always disable lagfix before doing Nandroid Backups/Restores/Flashing mods/Themes for YOUR SAFETY
I'm working on a few themes... sbrissen has already Made us the NoClock and NoAmPm mod (you have to be on the picknpack for these)
For a list of the Mods/Themes/Roms for the showcase look HERE
Always check the Mesmerize forums for new Android Development, Mods, Themes, etc...
And for help Don't be afraid to ask (after you've read this legnthy post) or drop by the #samsung-mesmerize channel at http://webchat.freenode.net/
Thanks to Phidelt82 for all of his dev support for our phone!!! If you want to donate to him click HERE

We're here... For the most part i'm waiting on a stable 2.2 or 2.3 based rom. Running pick-n-pack for now with Voodoo5.

Whenever I got to the terminal emulator and do the "redbend_ua restore /sdcard/recovery.bin /dev/block/bml8" it comes back with a permission denied and then reboots the phone...I've check my spelling/case numerous times. Following the instructions on the original post/thread where the zip file came from goes ok, but the recovery rom doesnt allow me to install the VooDoo in the next step. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

you more than likely are going to need to install Root Explorer onto your phone.. And use it to move the files (that's what I and many others had to do)

Are you typing su first to grant root permissions? You should see a # instead of a $ at the prompt.
Sent from my voodoo froyo Mesmerize

I have root manager installed and used it to move the files from the /sdcard directory to /system/xbin and I am typing su at the terminal to change from $ to #
One more question:
Do I need to follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860250

Long press on the Redbend_ua file and click permissions, there should be one check missing, check that so that all are marked. Save and exit.
will Root Manager allow you to do this? If not Rootexplorer will.
if you do this:
I'm not sure if you can do this through terminal or not... I did mine from my pc... you may have to leave off adb shell and just start at su when using terminal...
This is making the file executable
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /sdcard/redbend_ua
while it's still on the sdcard (Before moving it then you don't need to worry about it)
Ok, it seems that the Mes instructions were infact different on this method... I've updated the first post... If you'll read now you'll see what you should be typing in..
sorry about that, and thanx for pointing it out

I'm sorry, I am using Root Explorer...and yes, I have all 777 permissions to the redbend_ua file under /system/xbin, the only thing that I can think of is by looking in the /sdcard directory, there is no recovery.bin file that the last terminal command is referring to...is there suppose to be, if so, it comes from the voodoo mesmerize post...am I suppose to download that?

did you also get the zImage file? it was included in the test_no_voodoo.zip
If you did that step then you need to download ClockworkMod from the market and install the fascinate version of recovery.

Yep, ive done all of that stuff also...and whenever I take the entire zip file, rename it to update.zip and reboot into recovery it tells me that the sdcard is busy

ROM LG Optimus Net LG L45C Only

READ ME FIRST!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I and/or XDA are not responsible if this bricks your phone!!! If this transforms your phone into a decepticon and shoots your eye out...
OK....what a few months its been...sorry guys been out of commission...car wreck...
Had to start over...so here we go..
First...You must be rooted...if not google it..
install your favorite root file explorer
install your favorite term emulator
ok got that...now the good stuff..
download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/L45C_CWM_Recovery-v6.0.1.2.zip
or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/L45C_CWM_Recovery-v5.0.28.zip
this is the cwm recovery 6.0.1.2 compiled from source by me...it is only for the L45C...Cant stress that enough...had to make changes to graphics from source to get it to work...
also the v5.0.28 recovery because as of now v6.0.1.2 has no sdcard partioning support because it is new.
you can choose which you like best...
put on root of your sdcard ...
make sure the file name is recovery.img
now download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/flash_image.zip
this is the flash_image file to to flash the recovery..
unzip it should have the name flash_image
use root explorer to copy the file to /system/bin
open term emulator get su rights and cd to /system/bin and type chmod 0755 flash_image
now cd back to /
still with su rights type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
if no output... wahoo.... if you get error start over
dont reboot yet...
go to playstore and download a app called Quick Boot its free and handy you want have to hold buttons to reboot into recovery..
ok...now the moment of truth run quick boot and choose recovery...you should get a su ask from superuser grant it....phone should reboot into cwm recovery...if it did... wahoo... you now have cwm
keymap is fixed and is like this.... search button to select.....return button to return..home button to scroll..
way better than before,,,to me any way...

Hey ICE.....Is it suitable for Optimus Net P690 in India.....?????

Does this support custom themes?

p690f can't get qtadb to link phone/PC
Hi
I am stumped, as a complete novice to smart phone/linux.
At present my status is:
1. Phone is rooted, so I was able to get this done from my PC.
2. Now I have copied the recovery.img & flash.img to SD card.
3. I have Terminal emulator on phone &/or Sd card.
4. When in USB storage is activated & connected to PC, I can see all the files but on terminal emulator.
5. I have Qtabd on my PC but it will not 'see' my phone either in USB storage activated or not activated or in debug mode.
6. When debug mode activated, USB storage is deactivated. Seems both not able to be on.
7. In one of the XDA threads there was mention of 'demounting' the sd card so have also tried that in same combinations of SD/ debug.
I have been trying to sort this out on another forum but seems there is more info available on here.
I am having a huge problem tying to get Recovery working direct on the phone, mainly due to my inexperience on these devices, I am very happy to learn if pointed in right direction. Of course my concern also is not to brick the phone!!
Any assistance or links to suitable areas appreciated.
Whoops seems I posted on wrong thread, thought it was the similar one for P690, applogies.

WaHooo
I managed to finally get recovery activated using the terminal emulator on the SMALL screen of my phone!!
However I would still very much appreciate sorting out Qtadb connection as I am sure sometime in the future I will need to do some additions/deletions to my p690.
So, any info etc will be appreciated.
For any other Newbies who may see this,
1. To copy from a browser text long touch at start/end of text, then drag to high light.
2. To copy, touch highlighted area, you should get a message 'copied to clipboard'. To cancel, if you make a mistake like I made MANY touch some where else on screen.
3. With Terminal emulator started, (P690), after entering 'su' tap touch screen to bring up keyboard and select 'return/enter key'. This gives you Super User.
Long touch screen brings up menu withe 'paste',select.
4. To toggle back to browser, to same screen you were working on, hold down second key on bottom. This will bring up all the recent icons for what you were working on, select 'browser'. Continue copy line by line.
5. To toggle back to emulator, long press 2nd from left key & select emulator.
Hope this assists someone.

The p690 and this phone are not the same. This phone is from Net 10, idk about the p690, but this phone is. This one is also cdma. I think the p690 is gsm. They are NOT cross compatible. I'd brick my phone if I used a p690 rom.

sorry guys been working on code....

Update please
Hi there. Been crack flashing my phone for a while and finally got my wife's phone rooted today.
Just wondering if anyone has had any luck flashing a custom recovery yet (eg CWM or Amon Ra)? If so, please post a guide. As I have been unable to find anything using my Google-fu.
Also, all your links were removed. So other than hinting at a solution. This thread is zero help.
Thanks in Advance!
My Phone: HTC Evo 4G (flashed to Cricket)
Wife's Phone: LG Optimus (LGL45C)

I have a question regarding etc..... Does your rom include a tun.ko file and if not do you know of anyone or anyway to run openvpn/droidvpn or just changeing kernels would be nice...

I can't root.
I have an L45C with 2.3.4 on it and it just won't root. I have tried: Gingerbreak, z4root, and unlock root, none of them worked. I tried gingerbreak a few times at day, and all night as I slept, but my phone just isn't rooting!
If any of you have gotten root please do tell me how.

no updates yet?

Can someone please post a link to this ROM? I had it but can't find ir and I need it bad, phone is semi-bricked and I have a corrupt backup. PLEASE!!
Regards,
rast4man

READ ME FIRST!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I and/or XDA are not responsible if this bricks your phone!!! If this transforms your phone into a decepticon and shoots your eye out...
OK....what a few months its been...sorry guys been out of commission...car wreck...
Had to start over...so here we go..
First...You must be rooted...if not google it..
install your favorite root file explorer
install your favorite term emulator
ok got that...now the good stuff..
download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/L45C_CWM_Recovery-v6.0.1.2.zip
or http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/L45C_CWM_Recovery-v5.0.28.zip
this is the cwm recovery 6.0.1.2 compiled from source by me...it is only for the L45C...Cant stress that enough...had to make changes to graphics from source to get it to work...
also the v5.0.28 recovery because as of now v6.0.1.2 has no sdcard partioning support because it is new.
you can choose which you like best...
put on root of your sdcard ...
make sure the file name is recovery.img
now download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/flash_image.zip
this is the flash_image file to to flash the recovery..
unzip it should have the name flash_image
use root explorer to copy the file to /system/bin
open term emulator get su rights and cd to /system/bin and type chmod 0755 flash_image
now cd back to /
still with su rights type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
if no output... wahoo.... if you get error start over
dont reboot yet...
go to playstore and download a app called Quick Boot its free and handy you want have to hold buttons to reboot into recovery..
ok...now the moment of truth run quick boot and choose recovery...you should get a su ask from superuser grant it....phone should reboot into cwm recovery...if it did... wahoo... you now have cwm
keymap is fixed and is like this.... search button to select.....return button to return..home button to scroll..
way better than before,,,to me any way...
still will get error about bad boot message but i will fix later it don't affect anything..
Here is the stock rom , rooted , busybox , http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/Stock_L45C_Rom.zip
Here is the stock recovery also http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56403887/L45C_Stock_Recovery.zip
i am at present working on kernel...for cm7...
Give thanks to Koushik for CWM...And to TWO.BIT.CODER for all the help...Thank You...

ROM/Recovery LGL45C
What are the results of flashing this recovery? Was it successful to flash as I have a backup for the phone that I have made thankfully.

results are great. For what little ROM development, this is the best we have. Its just a ClockworkMod recovery image and then a rooted ROM. I'm still using it to this day and with all the apps and tweaks I've added, this phone rocks!!
My only complaint is I'm running out of internal space so I need to figure something out with that. Maybe I will try to re-partition my card to ext4 and try to increase internal memory by like 100mb. Apps2SD only goes so far sadly. I'm also going to try to put Team Win recovery on after I make sufficient backups. Let me know if I can help.

I was able to install the CWM Recovery to the phone just fine. Realized what I was doing incorrectly. Now to test the only ROM's that I know of that are available for the Q from Area51. Are there anymore ROM's being developed. The L45C is not a bad phone, just needs more lightweight ROM's to work with it.

[Q] Rooted with SOC without unmounting SD

I performed root of my stock Froyo Infuse using Superoneclick.
I did NOT remove or unmount the SD card prior to doing this (it was not mentioned in the instructions I followed on another site).
The phone was successfully rooted. I see no problems evident in behavior of the phone.
I am contemplating flashing a ROM at some time in the future (after more studying of the qkster's "how-to").
Will this previous error cause me any problems?
Is there anything I should do to fix it before I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

You appear to have done everything correctly so you are safe to continue. When it says not having the sdcard connected it refers to your internal sd card, which cannot be mounted to the pc when running SOC.
What ROM you plan on flashing sir? That way I may be able to make the process simpler for you.

Thanks. AEON is my objective.

Very well, then you just only need to install cwm so you can flash the rom.
follow method 1 of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14376440
Be sure to first install the 3e modded recovery using an root explorer such as solid explorer or es file explorer, both free.

Or...since he's rooted download aeon, then download one of entropys DD kernels (any one...its only for cwm and the kernel will be replaced by aeon)
Then go to the playstore and search "sgs kernel flasher"
Flash entropys kernel that you downloaded
After reboot (may boot loop don't worry) boot into recovery by holding both volume keys and power simutaniously until your phone reboots and you see Samsung logo...when you see the Samsung logo release the buttons
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvic cache (under advanced)
Install zip from sdcard
Choose aeon
Choose yes
Wait
When done reboot

I want to follow roughly mg2195’s path suggested above.
I did download SGS.
As a side-trip, I used SGS to install some Froyo-compatible custom Kernels (Infusion 2.0, Infusion 1.8, Defused 1.4).
I now have Defused 1.4 Kernal along with my stock Froyo ROM
I used Root explorer to put the modified recovery file in.
I rebooted several times and used the three-finger press, and now I reach the RED screen:
ClockwordModRecovery v2.5.1.3. But I didn't do anything at that screen yet other than exit.
I have two questions before I proceed;
QUESTION 1 – Can I skip entropy’s DD kernal since I already have CWM red?
QUESTION 2 – I want to verify the modified recovery file that I used is correct:
I use the one suggested in this Infuse video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y09p-J_g_Rg
the video links to file
http://llamalord.com/youtube/downloads/3e_recovery_no_sig_check.zip
When I googled that file name 3e_recovery_no_sig_check.zip to double-check, it lead me to this thread for CAPTIVATE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
GTG has a different thread “100% working ClockworkMod Recovery for Infuse 4G” which has a zip file with a different name (recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-infuse.zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881
That 2.5.1.2 is not quite the same version number that I see on my red screen (my red screen says 2.5.1.3) . And on top of that, GTG made some comments on page 1 and 2 of that thread which I didn’t fully understand but lead me to believe Captivate is not a match (so he used i90000 instead). All of this makes me wonder if I have the right CWM red in there.
QUESTION 2 SUMMARY: Do you think my CWM red is good, or do I need to start all over again with GTG’s file?
Additional info found later;
I did find the same file 3e_recovery_no_sig_check.zip that I installed here on xda forums in an Infuse thread by h8rift: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091465 . I downloaded it and verified the zip filename and size is identical to the one I used. That makes me feel a little better about question 2.

Although I've been studying these things, I'm still confused about the next step (trying to figure Q1 answer myself). Maybe if I can understand better, then I can answer myself. The following questions are an attempt to improve my understanding:
Q3 - Does getting the red CWM menu mean my CWM is successfully installed the way it needs to be ready to flash a rom ? (I’d think it does, but not sure).
Q4 - I see the GTG thread was same one linked by andros11. I am totally confused about that thread. Method 1, Step 1 you take a zip (which zip... your ROM or the one linked on the message?) and you rename it update.zip and put it on your sd card (where on your sd card... surely it makes a difference?). And this accomplishes something different than putting the modified file named recovery file into root/system/bin/recovery using root explorer?
Q5 – the only purpose of mg2195’s recommendation to download entropy’s kernal was to get the modified CWM, right?
Thanks for your patience.
========================
I think I will go ahead and flash Entropy's daily driver, should make all my questions irrelevant.
I'll post results, fingers crossed that it'll be a proclamation of victory.
In the meantime, I'm still curious about above, especially question #4.
==================
Edited again - actually I am going to sleep on it for a few days and make sure this is what I want to do.

Since you already managed to get Cwm red, you have no need of using the 3e modded recovery. That would only allow you to flash the zip linked in the OP of the gtg thread, which should be placed on the root of your /sdcard.
Entropy's dd mg2195 suggested would replace your kernel with a Gingerbread one that included cwm.
I would say to go ahead and flash Aeon since you already have CWM.

[Q] CWM recovery flashing (stuck) - What's your fav SK4G set up?

Hey all! Glad to be apart of the sidekick 4g xda community. i just recently got a SK4G from ebay for 45.99. Works flawlessly. (after a return of a 70$ one that wi-fi didn't work - which ima use groove ip lite to call for free w/my GV number, text with GV app)
So I'm trying to flash CWM recovery to flash custom roms. Here is where I am stuck at:
I'm on the Kv1 stock firmware
I am also rooted
I moved the recovery file to system/bin
i am in a pickle trying to figure out how to install the recovery.zip within the 400mb-ish all-in-one pack i got from an awesome member who compiled it and uploaded it through dropbox
do i flash with odin? does mobile odin work for this device?
i'm trying to navigate it /internal_sd/ the root file so that when i reboot to the system recovery it will flash the voodoo CWM.
but i cant find /internal_sd/ with root explorer. should try es strongs? or just regular odin?
tl;dr - this is exactly where i am stuck
whats the best recovery without having to deal with the mounts?
kinda annoying but after i find a rom i like i dont plan to flash a lot, but would like to try a few roms to find my liking.
what is your fav set up? as in
-whats your fav rom?
-whats your fav kernel?
-whats your fav modem?
any extra advice and everything will be appeciated

Welcome. I personally use the red CWM recovery and the Glorious Overdose series of ROMs. I had been using TLS' G.O. v3.2 Bulky until I recently decided to go back to G.O. v1 and flash a few newer things onto it. So, my phone is a franken-phone right now, but it works well.

awesome thanks! currently i am having trouble getting into CWM recovery - orange text. i mount system, backed up recovery, overwrote recovery, placed update.zip at the root of microSD, then used quick reboot to go into recover and i get a csc error thing. something about e signature verification failed. i am rooted, usb debugging, and using a 32microHCSD. heard that i might have to use a non - HDSD? i have a normal 2gb one to try. any ideas on what i may be doing wrong?

How are you going about overwriting the recovery file? One thing that took me a while to do on mine was that I had to mount the internal storage as read/write in order for the recovery file to be really overwritten. You'll need a file explorer such as ghost commander (free on Google Play) that can do that. The other thing is maybe the recovery file you have is bad. I don't think so, but you never know. You could also try holding down the volume buttons and the power key when the phone is off to get into recovery.

i'll try uploading a video of me trying. then at each minute section or second section you could help me. i;ll try the ghost commander app. how do you make a seperate sdcard directory for internal memory? so basically get the recovery file to stick, then restart into recovery and itll work if it sticks?
def gonna hit up gloriousoverdose after

I could not for the life of me get Ghost Commander to overwrite the recovery file, although it otherwise looks like a solid, clean app. I tried Root Browser and it worked perfectly. Most likely it was user error, whatever the issue with GC was but in case it does that to you there's another app that might do the job.

Please remember this phone has issues with rooting (may be a problem with flashing new roms
The locations
/system/bin
/sdcard/
I stick with ric's nexus jb rom for many reasons it runs smoother then glorious overdose v5 an v4 (v5 is great an v4 is great as well but not for me personally)
Cwm red voodoo is stock with most roms but you need yellow to flash
Kj2 newer is ussually better
(Gb kills keyboard right now so if you want gb you give up keyboard for awhile)
If you have issues you should go stright into them (I don't like reading >.< ill try to help like I have been an I'm sure any user will be glad to help (we need the community strength)
P.s. root browser works flawlessly
Most explores need you to be rooted ill post another file explorer in a bit
If you need the file ill upload each one with a readme txt file (if that's allowed) doubt its not c:
if I can't upload the files you can go into android development an go to sticks or you can go to the ref of mine on buttom of the page

If you get error the best thing to do is odin to kg2 or kd1 (recommend kg2 as its simple [r] to use )
Then re root an it should fix issues overwrite the recovery in system bin .. then you can pull battery put back in hold volume an power for 4-5 secounds should boot into recover (download mode pull batter hold track pad an power for 4-5 sec)
