Search for modded 3e recovery, there's a video in the devolpment section how to implement it. Then download rom manger, flash recovery, choose i900 then reboot into recovery. If its still the stock recovery select reinstall packages and ban its there.
Or use this odin and 3e will be there, then do the rom manager part. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

Are you rooted?
Personally id just do it with thw odin link I gave you. Back your apps up with titanium backup and your contacts via gmail. Then after you flash it with odin restore apps and install rom manager. Flash clockwork mod, select i9000, then reboot into recovery. Then if its still the stock recovery select reinstall packages then bam its done.

Hey, not to hi-jack, but im having some issues as well... I went with the rom manager method and after downloading the Infused ROM and trying to get into CWM, i hit reinstall packages and still get the blue text... Not sure what to do and am worried about messing something up.
The error i get is:
E: Can't open mnt/internal_sd/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Please help! feel free to PM me as to not hi-jack the thread although it is related

Thtats what im getting

Same error as well? What ROM are you trying to install?

just put a cwm (red) Voodoo kernel in the pda slot in odin and flash in download mode, this is a shorter way than the 3e mod
also if you are already rooted then just flash with sgs kernel flasher. really easy!

i just posted a shortcut to get cwm, but if you already have 3e modded and rom manager you need to go into rom manager and "flash cwm recovery" choose i9000 but not the mtd version. this will put the update.zip on the sd card. then reboot and reinstall packages twice. it wont load cwm the first time, also

I do have 3e and ROM manager. So i'll try this out and see how it goes! thanks for the help Dani and vthonda as well! Going to have to give this a shot in the morning though... wont be able to sleep if something goes wrong...lol.

[Q] Thought I Rooted My Infuse...

Just received my Infuse 4G and I think I rooted it, but I can't bring up the regular recovery menu (install zip from SD card, etc.). I have Superuser and ROM Manager, but when I reboot into recovery, the standard menu does not show up but another one with totally different choices. By the way, when I installed CWM it didn't have the Infuse as a choice for devices. Did I skip a step in the rooting process?

Choose i9000 in Clockwork.

That did not work.

It makes an update zip.... You take it and put it in the sd root after you rename it update.zip. Then you have to have a modded 3e recovery file that you replace the original with in system/bin/. Then go into recovery, reinstall packages. Bam, clockwork.

Are you stock rooted? or custom ROM?

If you are rooted use SGS kernal flasher and flash a custom kernal that will give you recovery easiest way i think

Or Odin/Heimdall a custom kernel in download mode - don't even need root for that.
And don't use ROM Manager - it just causes problems on our devices since it insists on using a crippled recovery that isn't compatible with Voodoo Lagfix.

It's stock rooted.

Nothing is working.

I cant get my sidekick to flash anything. First off, I have rooted it using 2 different methods and Android Commander wont say it has root access so I cant push the Recovery binary file.
I have a few different roms ive been dying to try but everytime I flash them I get soft bricked at the samsung screen. I cleared the data and made sure it matched everything posted but still no luck because of the binary.
I have Odin'd back to stock KD1 2.2.1. Please point me in the right direction, I cant even ADB push it because its saying no root access but I clearly have SU on my phone, and I also tried downloading both busyboxes and rom manager.

You have this posed in the wrong part and what cwm do you have red or orange

Please search next time.
also, please note that this is a FAKE FLASH, which means that when you reboot into recovery, it will look like a stock recovery until you press the "reinstall packages" button.

I am having the same issues as you cwm doesn't even work have the time only rom that I can get half way working is clean fusion v3 other roms I have tried
Gingerclone v2 and 1(got soft bricked)
Smooth maximus x (got soft bricked)
Clean fusion v3 (working szo far)
Also in cwm I can't even do a reset without it hanging at formatting android.secure nor can I do an nandroid backup with out it faling on backing up boot image
Any help at all?

Im not too sure about all this yet, but one I downloaded the recovery binary file I extracted that, put that on my sd card then moved it to the /system/bin folder using Root Explorer and that fixed any problems I had.
As for clockwork, just install it from the 2nd link here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453)
put that in your SD card, hold power up vol and down until you get to recovery then install packages then go from there, just make sure you unmount the sd card from CWM.

[Q] NOOB: How to flash ZEUS to my Infuse?

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong:
a) ATT Infuse Phone is rooted using SuperOneClick;
b) downloaded ES File Explorer and ROM Manager;
c) ZEUS Build 3 zip file is in root folder of my sd card;
d) backed up everything with Titanium Backup;
e) placed the 3e recovery no sig check recovery file into my system/bin folder;
When I try to reboot into CWM recovery, it goes into the "blue" 3e Android recovery. When I install packages, I get an error message.
Then when trying to flash ROM through ROM Manager, I cause a Samsung bootloop, and have needed to flash back to Odin to unbrick my phone.
Is my problem related to the fact I'm flashing from stock froyo? Do I need to change the kernel (not sure what this means) prior to flashing the Rom? Why can't I get the CWM bootloader instead of the "stock" blue Android screen?
thanks in advance - sorry, am a newbie and this isn't my thing.

Is it normal when I flash GTG's community kernel, that my phone starts talking to me and saying something about 10 minutes?? It just scared the #$# out of me, and has been sitting in the Samsung boot screen for a few minutes.
Holy #@$$, that voice is scary. It looks like the kernel worked...

Freaked me out the first time too lol

You need to install the community kernel, then download sgs kernel from the market and install. I had this same problem and this was the answer! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220090
Follow these instructions and make sure you download this http://www.multiupload.com/1E3AWIQYAA if your coming FROM froyo.
Move the file to your internal sd card, then use sgs kernel to install. The sgs was a little tricky, but you'll see the file in there to flash.

Hey thanks for asking DroidNooby! I was searching the forums for "bootloaders" because the Zeus thread said "MUST BE ON GB BOOTLOADERS." All I found was a bunch of people sounding as confused as I was asking "how do i install?"
I was beginning to think it was an inside joke of the Infuse forums lol.

Odin one of the gb leaks (that'll give you boot loaders). Then odin a gb kernel with a recovery. Uncheck reboot before flashing kernel. Then boot up into recovery and flash.

Cant make a nandroid in recovery

Yesterday I rooted my 8013 note with UEALGB software and tried to make a nandroid in high on android cwm. It would reboot recovery everytime i started the backup process. So i flashed TWRP through goo manager app then tried to make a nandroid and the same thing would happen. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: I just tried to flash the stock recovery and it seems like I am stuck with cwm or twrp. I flashed stock recovery through Odin and it said it was successful but when I reboot into recovery I still have custom recovery.
Edit: Seems to only happen when I try to backup the system partition.

Zeodmaxs root without recovery first then I went back and flashed high on android cwm through Odin later in the night because I wanted to start playing around with stuff.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

The root injected image causes problems. I think you're gonna have to ODIN the original image back on it to fix it. Search around, it's here somewhere.
Go for method #2 next time. Roots without an issue.

Did you flash the the Superuser.zip file after flashing Zedomaxs cwm.tar fie in odin? This is needed to get true root priveleges.
Not sure why you can't reflash a stock rom though, that's how I've always gotten rid of root access to revert back to stock...

I didn't flash the superuser.zip. I have root while in android though. I will try to flash it and see if that helps.
