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.

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.

I used to run custom ROM serendipity 5.11. Decided to give the official stock froyo a try. So, I flashed it to JF6 and installed I897UCKB1 on my captivate. Now, I miss the root privileges and also the stock ROM is still not smooth. There is a big improvement from 2.1 but not there if I compare with serendipity. So, is there any way I can root and install lagfix on my stock I897UCKB1 2.2 captivate? Please help

There are many many threads going on here that covers this. Either get a custom ROM from Cog4 or Torch 1.5. If not then use SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760 for lagfix

The assistance was in the post right above your own.
The reason the old update.zip method does not work is because Froyo uses 3e recovery, which requires the update.zip files to be signed. The SuperOneClick root bypasses that and directly gives you root. After this you can install CWM, and flash the supercurio voodoo kernel, which gets you the lagfix, and rids you of 3e recovery, all at the same time.

You can install the voodoo kernel via odin, but that can't be done straight from the phone. It is also packaged as a CWM flashable update.zip, so you could do it that way, but you still need a computer to root it first. Without root, you can't get into a non 3e recovery, and without that, you can't flash the package straight from the phone.

Prior to the current stock 2.2, i used serendipity custom rom on my phone. i used AIO toolbox for captivate to flash serendipity custom rom. can i use the same tool to root my 2.2 phone? i am very new to this whole stuff. i see that this particular voodoo kernel provided significant performance improvement on the stock I897UCKB1 captivate. If you can provide step by step guidance that would be great. thanks
I'm rooted and have the 3e problem....i go into recovery with CWM but update fails...tried the 3e patch that accepts unsigned but sbin recovery is read only won't let me delete/overwrite....tried an emu to chmod but says permission denied lol....i must be missing something....

Try Cognition 4, it's about as close to current stock with Voodoo injected. If you really miss any of the apps taken out, Designgears was kind enough to put them in a repository for you.
Hey all, just wondering if flashing stock, then putting a CWM update.zip on my SD card, and then going into CWM> Advanced SpeedMod> Root/Install Superuser would fully root my phone?
I always keep the cwm update.zip on my internel sd card. What I do is flash the clockwork recovery over the regular one then flash a custom rom but idk about rooting.

ive done it too. it works awesome.
or you use odin to flash a kernel with CWM built in, then root using CWM. (yeah still works when built into kernel! installs superuser n everything!)
and remember if you have a kernel with CWM dont use rom manager!
Thanks people. Nice to know I can easily root like that without SuperOneClick or anything. And I've only used ROM Manager once, for my very first flash. Soon as I figured out it was unnecessary, I ditched it.

Hey. So I rooted my T-Mobile SGS 4G (stock 2.2 firmware) with SuperOneClick. That was super easy, I tested it out with a few utilities and I definitely have root.
So I went into rom manager and pushed the button to flash clockwork mod. It asked me for superuser status, said it was successful, but then it boots into the stock samsung recovery. I've tried this several times and I always have the same result. I'm sorry if there's an answer on this already but I'll be damned if I could figure out how to search for it without coming up with a bunch of unrelated problems.
Thanks!
Try going into clockwork and choosing boot to recovery then after that if it goes into stock recovery choose reinstall packages sometimes you have to choose reinstall twice. That's how I got mine into cwm first time

You need to download krylons modified recovery.bin file and use a file explorer app to push the file to system/bin. You need to also have the file update.zip on the root of your SD card. Then you boot into stock recovery and choose reinstall packages. This will boot you into cwm.

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.

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.

Ok just got this phone and have decided to go with Phoenix Blood rom, but how do i start? I have to be on froyo to root? Im coming from samsung epic on sprint that i flashed so im not completely retarded. Thanks for any help
Use superoneclick to root on froyo.
If your on 2.3.3 gb there's a flashable. Zip in development section to root.
Also you will want to use tgagunnmans nvflash method to install clockworkmod recovery in dev section.
Phoenix blood is a great choice btw, enjoy!

You're still on Froyo? To my understanding it's a good idea to flash the OTA GB first so that you'll get the up to date baseband. Once that's done just go ahead and flash PB.
no im on gb jsut thought i had to go back to froyo to root, so i just flash clockwork mod then pb and thats it?

Yes, but make sure you're using NVFlash to get CWM. Don't use Rom Manager.
Easiest way is using the tool unlockroot. It supports gb on the G2X. Or you can use nvflash, whichever you prefer.

From that thread:
Flashing the custom recovery using NvFlash is the only way to ensure that in the case your phone will not boot up, you will be able to get into recovery to fix the issue / flash a ROM / restore from nandroid backup. That is what this app will do for you.
If you flashed the ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager it does not flash the recovery to your phone, it fake flashed it. The only way you can gain access to ClockworkMod recovery is through ROM Manager at that point. Using this method is the only way to flash recovery so it is persistent and accessible booting to recovery.
If you have already flashed through ROM Manager you can still proceed with this method. Flash Away!
(You can use both ROM Manager CWM and have the nvflashed version working together. You just access either or one at a time, having the nvflashed one means you can boot to CWM. Welcome to Tegra2)

Follow the link. This is a must for tegra 2 based phones. It is always better to be safe than sorry and it also allows you to do a ton of other things, such as making backups and flashing roms. Let us know if you need help. The phone is pretty much unbrickable after you do this. It gives you the ability to recover from any major mistake.
Its in the dev thread, it low level flashes clockworkmod recovery to our phones internal memory partition. You need to install apx drivers first in order for the g2x to be nvflashed.

thanks for the help guys got it all set up
Just to add in, nvflash allows u to boot into cwm recovery whenever u want and u don't need to be next to a computer. I think that is how it worked for Samsung phones and Odin, where u needed a computer, but haven't used a Samsung phone so I could be wrong. Remember always make a back up of everything and play around with the different roms, not every rom works for everyone
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Actually Odin is just like nvflash. It is used to put cwm on you phone and to put the stock recovery back on.
Once you have cwm you can flash what ever rom or kernel without the need for root. Just back up your stock unrooted stock rom before flashing anything else.
If you do that you will have your own stock backup with no need of finding it in the forums if you need to go back to stock.
