After seeing multiple threads about CWM, I decided to put this up in hopes that we don't clutter the development area with the same topic.
As of right now CWM is not working for our device. We have to wait for the developer to update CWM to be compatible with our device. Yes you can still install it and boot into recovery, however, not all the options will work. And some users have reported that it screwed up their phone somehow. You can try it but you might be risking damage to your phone. Everyone just be patient CWM will be on our devices soon. Team Whiskey has already stated that they have some ROMS up and ready for our device to be installed once we get CWM.
If anyone wants to try to port Clockwork to the 4G Koush has put up a tutoriol here

hmmm...
Otherwise, continue on the to the guide!
This guide will assume you have some familiarity with doing an Android Build.
This guide will work for phones that use a standard Android boot image format. This guide will not work for Samsung phones which use an initramfs.

It won't work. Not all the options within the recovery will work right.

ill send him my phone if i can contact him, i have 3 vibrants and a venue pro to play with while my phone is with him
However my 4g is one of the ones with the busted CWM install that needs the factory tar to get it back to original recovery so ill have to check if he can work with my phone or not, shouldnt hurt as the phone still functions fine but we shall see.

that would be awesome, hopefully he can get it working. coming from a vibrant and a mt4g i'm getting really anxious to start flashing roms for this baby.
Ok, i contacted koush and im going to try to send him my phone today VIA USPS Priority so i can help you guys get CWM installed. lots of <3 for the dev community. I'm new to XDA but i was one of the first guys that got a custom firmware for the Verizon RAZR going but haven't done much modding since.
Big thanks to koush and krylon for all the hard work.

If any of the senior members think that this will affect CWM dev let me know. i have insurance on the phone but i dont really want to run it over with my car to get a relacement lol. ive had the phone about a week so i guess i could still exchange it, but i cant really think of a good reason to tell the folks at T-mobile why i need an exchange. hook me up this way i can just send koush an unopened/unmolested 4g if needed.
Ok guys, just got the email back from koush, unfortunately, this is it. Hit me up with a thanks for the effort if your feeling gracious

Hi, please do not send me the phone. I don't have the time to work on a recovery at the moment. It would take me weeks to get to it.

sounds good.. again you can PM me when you have an alpha to test. Also I will be in SLC in a little over a week for 7 days to visit fam. if you needed a loaner device maybe we could work something out.
I am a new android user. I am learning little by little about this phone. Does anyone know how to install custom rom on infuse? I got my phone rooted already.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. First of all you have to be rooted. PM me if you need help with that. Which ROM do you want to flash? There are two that are working well, Infused and refuse. Refuse needs to use odin though, and infused usually doesnt. Just hit me up and I'll send you detailed instructions via PM. We dont need more clutter in these boards.

since the this thread is already started i do have a few noob questions if someone is willing to answer
you should ask.
Look at the thread that I made in the dev section and post questions there. They will be answered
Sent from my 4.5' Infuse 4g: Currently running Infused v1.3.1 w/ voodoo lagfix. Thank you gtg465x!
k will look there first and guess go from there. I have been hesitant to ask cuz always afraid they have been asked or wrong place to ask. Ive looked thru so many pages that i probably saw the answers to some of my questions but read them as a blur. I come from an iphone and with so many android phones seems so confusing at times.

HTC inspire has pretty good development going on. I have that phone besidesthe ATRIX 2. Im a flashaholic too and I flash like crazy on that phone waiting and hoping development picks up for this phone! Kinda upset I got rid of my of ATRIX. Cause now a lot of development is goin on for that too.
The Inspire is old, though.

Im pretty sure the phones with the BEST development and going to be kinda old...
My vote would be either the international SGSII or one of its variants (I have i777 and things always seem to be booming over there).
Go get a Samsung phone, whichever is the latest one that AT&T has. They always have a TON of developers.
You know on the other hand you could just put in some time and learn and get some great ROMs in the process, lfaber06, cogery, and myself could really use the help, and it really is not all that hard, if you know anything about phones and flashing, and some about computers.
There is a thread in the development section on the tools needed to do this.

I would love to learn more about development, but at 52 it's all a bit overwhelming at times. I may have to find something in the 250.00 dollar range and try though.

I replied to your PM with everything you need to do...
i had a stock rom...rooted it, then went to install one of the roms from the website here and the custom kernel...now i keep getting this lame message...detected unauthorized software please take your phone to a verizon store. what am i doing wrong here??
Are you trying to use odin or have you flashed a custom recovery, cm or twrp?
sent from my s-off rezound
I'm guessing you didn't use the right recovery to flash a kernel. What recovery did you use.
Sent from my Synergized vzw SGS3
This really should be in the general discussions not in development. At the leased it should be in a post in the development for the ROM you were trying.
Probably just didn't use Kexec
You didn't read the OP of whatever it was you were doing.
Time to download stock images to odin

Way too many d-bags on XDA. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum, now he knows and I'm sure a mod will move it. Saying it over and over again and being a d-bag while doing it, doesn't help anyone.
OP, as others have stated, you are probably best off going back to a stock rom from Odin and ensuring you have a proper recovery flashed. Then start over with whatever it was you were trying to do.

really, what a DB (probably doesn't know the answer anyway).
I hate it when posters can't just help someone out.
wow!!!
lol wow guys, i didnt check this for a few days and honestly i will probably never post here again. i downloaded ez-recovery as i was told to do in many posts. i installed a kexec recovery...cwm 6.0.1.0. i followed the instructions in the synergy rom page and installed it through cwm. i then downloaded the Imoseyons Lean Kernel and installed it in cwm, rebooted and received the error message.
i have flashed several roms and recoveries over the years with the droid inc, droid inc2. and now the samsung. sorry to start a flame war. i will not post here again. i was simply trying to help report issues to developers.
good day.

It is international more that you think
I told him to do so, so he could go to completely another forum (not XDA) and ask this noob question there, where nobody knows him.
Now you get it?
It would be very funny experience for him to find out what other people on other frums know about SGS4 or phone flashing at all.
I would probably get people telling me off and not wanting to teach me... Happens a lot on these forums, luckily the constant S4 questions have kind of died down here and people like myst tend to point them in the right direction instead of just making a fuss about it.
Why not just report it and move on?
Anyhow, congrats on new device, go forth & make it great like you did for sgs4g..
