Seriously, will you slob a knob?

Yup the official one is up. Looks like a fun install... I'd heard today it would be up by tomorrow, guess they got it up a bit sooner!
Yay for having source code now

Especially since I released the "Official" upgrade on the 17th. I just put it in a more convenient package for everyone and let them have it early. Plus made it faster to download. Convenience isn't all it's cracked up to be, though...

Question about the official upgrade
Forgive the noob question, but does anyone know if the official release will unroot your phone using the techniques and software provided by USC? I'm technically savvy but this is still somewhat new to me. I've used Odin to root my phone and upgrade to the unofficial leak. I've had a number of software crashes since. I also found out, since I didn't do proper research before jumping onto the bandwagon, after the fact, that rooting will void the warranty. I'd like to unroot it, but I just need to know if this will do it or if I need to unroot it before I upgrade. Thanks!

And within seconds, I answer my own question
Apparently, it's been reported that the official update will, indeed, unroot your phone as well. Sorry for the wasted space.

If you install the official upgrade with the Odin files it will also "unroot" your phone. I say that because it's just putting a fresh system image on your phone so of course it will be "unrooted". The better option would be to install the pre-rooted version that has the 2e recovery as well so you can install custom ROMs and such.

Forgive the noob question... but... is this official EC10 upgrade identical to the EC10 rom that leaked earlier, or are there differences? Would I be good to go just to keep the leaked EC10 rom?

Haha, man it flies stock.. They're getting close on the bootloader issue, good things come with time I guess. Got the HTC Inspire $99 when I switched, then sold the Showcase for $275 + CS Blackberry Curve 2. Sold Curve the next Day for $125. So made a Total of $400 off of the Showcase deal. Found this Atrix used for 3 days with an Otterbox Defender Case for $400. Saw his AT&T receipt for it. He didnt like it, and wanted to go back to an Iphone... Even though I jumped ship I still appreciate your, and all other Devs work.
Oh, and I'm still looking for the DJ20 Voodoo. It's on one of my Computers.. lol

Ok, now that I have the kernel downloaded, how do I flash it since CWM doesn't support the Showcase?
Every time I try to flash a kernel I keep getting the stupid Amend/Edify scripting error. Sucks when trying to update this blasted phone.

Are you trying to run CWM3? That's a no go there.

Yea, if you updated your CWM via rom manager then you'll need to go flash our custom CWM 2.5.x (see phidelt's kernel/recovery post (stickied in this forum) which links to a list in the fascinate forum that has the file you need.)
Rom manager was only used to update our CWM in 2.1, post 2.1 it's not supported so you might as well save yourself some trouble and uninstall it .

Next question. What will happen to my phone if I flash a different radio file? For instance the Odin file mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12573150&postcount=1

Yeah. You may want to double check but I'm pretty sure that's how you tell. I've seen some of the vets in here say that's how to check it.

Don't **** with the radio. None of those radios are for the Showcase

Guess it doesn't really matter now anyways. Clicked the wrong button when I was using Odin to load the CWM and put my phone into a boot loop. Now to get a stock CS ROM to reload my phone.
Actually, at this point I don't care if it's stock or not, just as long as I can get something loaded back on my Showcase and get it active with CS.

my current setup is
mesmerize
heinz57
OTB kernel 1.3
2.5 CWM
and its running like a dream. everything works and its fast!!! the new CWM3 recovery has some issues, 2.5 flawless so far xD. highly recommended

Any GB roms that support HDMI and or 30FPS?

I am finaly getting some time to sit down and work see what I want to do with my Infuse. I have been doing a lot of reading and searching. I would love to go back go back to a GB rom. I loved them on my Captivate.
Saw how to get back to stock. Always want to know how to do that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
In searching it seems like of I go to a GB rom that I see have the issue with video only shooting at 15fps and the HDMI does not work. I do not think I am finding any that do not have this issue. Am I correct on these finding?
Is this the only major under line problem that is with GB roms? I know every rom is going to have some issues. I really want to make sure I am good with working BT since I live near Chicago and if you talk on the phone you have to have BT or you will get your butt pulled over.
I am happy with the performance of my phone. I am not in great need to OC it. Though I am seeing people getting up to 1.6g.
I am just trying to figure out where to start. I saw a post today about a leaked GB rom for the Infuse but it was closed and the orginal post was removed. I am guessing that it was fake or something was up with it.
The HDMI out is not a huge issue for me. I would like to keep the 30fps. I do not use video that often. But there are time when all of a sudden I need to shoot video and I do not have my normal camera on me. That is where I love my phone.

In short, as of today, on this forum, the answer is no. Gotta wait until AT&T rolls out GB.

OK thanks. Think I might hold off on going to GB for now then. Hope I can hold out. LOL

Actually, there is a deodexed rom in the developement section which is of the new beta gingerbread for AT&T. The kernel that came with the leak supports HDMI out and 30fps. Although, some users report unreliable cell connections or loss of signal.
Search around, you'll find it.

Other than the new UCKI3 leak - nope.

Thank you.
Think I will give it a try.

for hdmi that would work or you can flash the full odex rom in odin that is posted in the general section.
an easy way to flash the ucki3 kernel without odin if you want to do it that way is to flash the deodexed rom then download sgs kernel flasher from the market. download the full odin package to your phone and open kernel flasher. choose the odin package as the kernel. the app is smart. it will find the zimage in there and flsah it.
remember to backup entropy's kernel first. if you need recovery you will need kernel flasher or odin to restore a kernel kernel with working recovery.
i hope we see something with bootloaders soon because without source code im not sure there will be a rainbow fix.
or if you wait an a few ill post the hdmi kernel as a cwm file. i still recommend to have kernel flasher either way. (it flashes cwm packaged kernels as well, even if they are packaged with a rom)

For me I flashed a lot of ROM's with my Captivate. I learned a lot. Number on this was if you are only 90% sure on something ask. Saw way to many people mess up their phone because they did not ask. So I got in this habbit.
I am not worried about doing it. I want to make sure I am doing it right. Once I get the first few flashes down in this phone I will be happy. It is just that the Infuse it a little different then the Captivate with flashing.

Good news in this particular case - It's next to impossible to accidentally clobber our bootloaders. (Heck, we haven't even successfully flashed Rogers bootloaders onto an AT&T Infuse) Only one Infuse has ever had its bootloaders clobbered, and that was part of a highly dangerous experiment for which the device owner volunteered.
Pretty much for the time being (UCKH1 could change things once someone figures out how that update flashed a bootloader), it's basically impossible to fully brick a device with Odin/Heimdall - or CWM either.

[Q] Help with Gingerbread installation...

Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.

Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

That's legit Dman, it seems you learn a new trick on a daily basis; ports, roms and now kernels. I'm loving how the infuse development is still kickin!
So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!

Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.

Hacks for WIND Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G?

I picked up a WIND Samsung Galaxy S 4G today. I looked in the Android Dev thread here and I don't see anything specifically for this phone.
The model number is T-959W so I don't want to try anything with hacks/roms etc meant for the T-Mobile version.
I'd be happy to supply a dump of my phone for any devs who want to play around and help us here in the great white north!
Thanks

System dump would be nice if you can provide it. I'd advice against installing any mods you found here. Good thing you're cautious

Great, thanks! I have never done a dump before so I'll have to look into how to do it. I will let you know when I do.

I see it has 8 gig internal, we only got 2 there's a tutorial somewhere for system dumps, let me find you the link.
You need to be rooted I believe.

Sure but idk if our devs are gonna build you guys stuff. Also, go to sampro.pl, it is a polish site so use Google chrome to translate it, then create an account for the site, go firmware downloads for your model if you see. If you do, then post a link to the latest version.

I have heard that there may be an update in August. It may be prudent to wait for this update before capturing a ROM image, in case important fixes are made.
I guess a good question would be whether anyone has had any experience flashing T-Mobile SGH-959v ROMs on to this device.
Another avenue could be to ask someone inside Samsung whether they changed much between models.

Absolutely! I'm currently taking a little break (gotta find a job... like two weeks ago.), but when the dust settles, I'll take a little look at the source and see if we can help out.
What you could start with is a diff between the SGH-T959V-TMB_GB_Opensource.zip and the SGH-T959W_NA_GB_Opensource.zip drops.

I'd be willing to look into giving you guys something fun to work with.
I'll do a series of diffs tonight on the T959W stock kernel source and the T959V sources (stock and our CM kernel).

You really shouldn't flash roms not made for your phone. If they contain bootloaders, you could brick your phone.

Hey T959W people. Looked at the source and things are looking pretty close. I'm not saying to run off and flash our stuff, but I need some info and someone with the big kahunas to try flashing some stuff.
Please be running linux. I can't help you with windows problems.
It would also be helpful if you have a usb download mode jig.
You can get one here:

Ok Canadians! I've verified that the SGH-T959W should be exactly the same as the SGH-T959V.
There were some interesting differences between our T959V and T959W that may fix some bugs for us on T959V.
With that said, please... please... please, read all of the instructions for flashing ROMs and Kernels very carefully!
If the rom contains bootloaders, please DO NOT flash them until we can confirm there are no bootloader differences.
Like I said before, it is very common to soft brick your device. It is not the end, and do not worry if you do this. Make sure you get yourself a usb download mode jig here:

This will help you use heimdall or odin to flash stuff to your phone to make everything happy again.
You will only hard brick this device by writing the wrong bootloaders to the phone, which is why I am warning you to not flash bootloaders, for now!
With that, enjoy cm7, cm9, aokp, et alii!
I will also announce this in the android general forum!

I managed to get my Wind SGH-T959W rooted and up and running with a unofficial CM9 build, but it took a bit of work.
Firstly, I tried just about every one-click solution out there, to no avail. It's possible SOC 1.7 with rattlethecage works, but I didn't have the patience to find out whether I simply had to wait a bit longer.
I followed this guide(whilst clenching every clenchable muscle I could consciously control):
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/o...mission-t-mobile-galaxy-s-4g-gingerbread.html
The gist is, Odin 1.7, stock+voodoo for T959V, plus some update that I'm not qualified to describe. That should get you rooted and if that's all you're looking for, you'll have to suffer through a little T-Mobile branding on startup.
Once you got it all rooted, you'd think it'd be a good idea to toss sgs-ics on there, right? Well, no. After installing the 4G variant, it promptly set off into a boot loop which I'm again, unqualified to diagnose. The obvious solution was to try another team's version of ICS, which I indeed found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
Barring some missing features, it sounds like a good alternative to sgs-ics. Though I had to go through one additional step, which I really, honestly assure you I was under-qualified to execute. When I tried to load Team Acid's CM9 r3 it gave me an assert on the updater-script, since the hardware didn't match up. Easy. Unzip the package, open up META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, remove the first check. You know it's the same hardware, you don't need some stinkin' script to tell you it won't work.
So all said and done, I now have a Wind Mobile SGH-T959W running ICS 4.0.4 courtesy of bhundven, the Odin folks, Team Acid, and likely a slew of other contributors.
Thanks folks, and enjoy!
PS, if you want that tarball bhundven, send me a PM with some brief instructions, and hopefully you can help my fellow Winders.

Would have been easy, had you just followed my directions.

Duh, and rightfully so. You should not flash anything that was not made for your phone.
As I said before. The SGH-T959V and the SGH-T959W are the same phone, just packaged differently for t-mobile vs. wind.

We can fix that by adding your OTA Assert to our build. Then this won't happen. Let me fix that.
Thanks for someone finally reporting something useful!
