[Q] Root Infuse 2.3.5 - Samsung Infuse 4G

I recently updated my Infuse to 2.3.5 using Samfirmware
I've tried using SuperOneClick to root my phone
It did not work.
The program became unresponsive.
Has anyone been able to root their phone under the Gingerbread firmware?

Ugh not this question again. Since 2.3.3 google has locked up the rage against the cage exploit. It was being used to push malware to Android devices.
Root must be pre installed in the ROM or it must be pushed on boot by the kernel with initramfs mods. Any custom kernel on the forum will root your phone but breaks wifi. Since you can use Odin get a custom kernel in .tar form and flash it to your phone or use heimdall to flash a kernel zimage (extract the .zip or.tar) the proper kernel can then be flashed back after you pull it out of the Odin package. Once you get rooted get sgs kernel flasher so you can switch back and fourth between backups if you want the additional advantages of a custom kernel.

Can't root 2.3.5 that way. I reccomend you checkout the development forum and use JordanElliots PRE-Rooted 2.3.5 uckj1.

I just flashed a rooted kernel using odin and that worked for me

which rk did you used? thanks ...

Specific Superoneclick to use...
To root the Infuse with Samfirmware's 2.3.5, the only version that works is:
Superoneclick 2.2 - it's the zergRush exploit that makes this possible. Worked flawlessly for me..
Now on to the HDMI not working issue!

fwiw I used the soc v 2.2 and it didnt work with my infuse.
i ended up using DooMLoRD's toolkit that has zergRush in it, For whatever reason having it run in a command prompt made it work

For all new people.

Guys flashing roms is a big responsibility. Read the guides. The latest version is Kh2. This is a 2.3.4 Rom. If you want old 2.2, which is easier to flash, then you should use kd1.

Hi I flashed "[ROM-Leak][ODIN] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4" rom to my phone and when I went to the local t-mobile store they told me that my headphone jack isnt working and needs to be sent in for warranty replacement.... what do I need to do to set this up to stock and the current rom so tmobile doesnt void my warranty.... or to flash using ODIN?
follow the noobs guide to odin in the bible
I know how to use ODIN..... the question is do I need to do anything to the phone to downgrade it to 2.2.1 Stock.... or just flash it and done?
Just flash a 2.2.1 stock rom on your phone, and you are done. if it already has root, you can un-root with superoneclick

[Q] How to install CWM?

i have a samsung galaxy s 4g (SGH-T959V) and its running 2.3.6 or K6J or whatever you call it. but i have rooted it with superoneclick 2.3.1 and now i'm lost on how to get clockwork recovery so i can flash roms and an overclocked kernal....well thanks for time
Are you familiar with Odin? If not Google it then use Odin to flash a modded kernel. You will then have cwm. Be sure to use a gingerbread kernel. They are in the dev section.
Yup. Make any backups you need first, then Odin flash one of these here:

[Q]SGH_I997 UCKL2(Rooted, Deodexed, and Busybox)(CRT off)

I flashed this rom recently and everything was working fine, but I got stuck at bootloop after flashing the kernel using sgs flasher. So I flashed the non rooted version of this leak using odin. Now I can't root my phone using SOC. How can I root it? Would flashing the zImage from this rom using odin work? Any help would be appreciated.
There is no way to root the stock kernel...that's why I made a rooted version...to flash the stock kernel you have to disable voodoo lagfix in recovery....I posted that in op

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Weird thing, I read that part but couldn't find voodoo on my CWM. Anyway I guess I'm gonna stock back to UCKD5 or something and then root/3e/CWM on top of it and later flash your rom.
Thanks a lot for the rom! Love UCKL2 so far!!!

To be able to root the official (non rooted) leaked GB roms, you just flash a custom kernel like Entropy's daily driver using Heimdall or Odin. Then, you have to install su and Superuser either manually with adb or with a CWM flashable zip. It's really not too hard to do. Once it's rooted, you just flash the stock kernel again for working video, etc. That's how I do it anyway.

[Q] Stupid question maybe?

My brother just bought a used galaxy s 4g from craigslist and it appears to be rooted because of the super user app. He wants to flash a rom to get rid of CIQ but when he tries to reboot into recovery it doesnt appear to boot into clockwork mod.
Two questions
1. Can we just delete the CIQ file using root explorer and be done with it?
2. He is still running 2.2.1 froyo. vuvkd1 and if the phone is rooted can i just completely reroot via odin all over from start to finish or must I unroot his phone back to stock first.
I suggest you use odin to flash ravers kj6 rom from dev section. Then with odin too flash kj1 kernel from dr honk then search for ravers kj6 no ciq edition and flash that via cwm.

It may not have had ClockWorkMod (CWM) installed on it. I assume it's probably booting into standard, 3E recovery. I *think* you can just delete the CIQ executable in /system/xbin but I don't know what ramifications that might have.
There are a few "No CIQ" ROMs in the Development section but I *think* they're all Gingerbread based.
There's really no sense in re-rooting if it's already rooted. If you do ODIN a new ROM onto it that does not have root, you can use SuperOneClick to root it or use a kernel that has root access.

Flash the SMS KJ6 file from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
That'll get you on Gingerbread, then you can install Valhalla Black Edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G_ROMs#Valhalla_Black_Edition
Valhalla Black doesn't contain CIQ files.
Thanks everyone ill pass this on to him.
Removing the CIQ is a very detailed process... You need to be familiar with baksmali/smali and decompile/recompile apk's... Otherwise you will never truly remove it...

[Q] Rooting Stock Leak 2.3.6 UCLB3

Anyone know how to Root the new Gingerbread 2.3.6 stock leak that was posted? I am talking about UCLB3. I went to "Settings"- "Privacy" - "Factory data reset and was prepared to start over at Froyo. When the phone finished booting up my factory setting is now 2.3.6 UCLB3. I am not a noob but not real experienced either. I spent hours last night trying to root the phone. I want to put the rooted version from Dman on - I couldn't even use ODIN and Heimdall or GTG's unbrick versions to take me backwards. I am on 2.3.6 no matter what I do. Anyone care to help?
is ODIN not recognizing the phone or whats the situation ? Heimdall is for flashing stock 2.3.6 or cwm for froyo.
There is no way to root the new leak... you can flash a rooted kernel, then flash the stock kernel back and you'll retain root

Thanks for your comment. I saw something about that in the UCKK3 stock rom post, I think. That`s an effective way to root the 2.3.6 leak/stock?
Is that the way to do it? odin>flash pda only with auto-reboot and f.reset time>flash again the stock kernel (pda only). Is this right?
Any way to install CWM kernel in between? I'll be very pleased with a right answer, thanks!!!
Rooting stock 2.3.6
Thanks to you guys who helped with my issue. I got the phone to recognize download mode and flashed a CWM Kernel and then the stock one and kept root. (Thanks DMan) Since I was busy I didn't get this done until Friday and then the Collective comes out with Revelation which after reading the posts I immediately flashed. Prior to Revelation my favorite ROM had been Caty 3.0 but I think Dman and the Collective have put out my new favorite now.
