[Q] first time to flash a rom, quick question - Samsung Infuse 4G

I'm going to give CM7 a whirl...
1. it says to start from a red CWM, mine is green (stock froyo with modded 3e recovery). Is that a problem?
2. Does the rom contain a compatible kernel and modem?
Thanks in advance.

Alright so it sounds like you've already installed the modified recovery? Did you use a file manager to delete the original and add the modified one?
If so, I think your next step would be to flash the community kernel v8, it can be found in the infuse development section, or just go to the stickied superthread and find it there.
You need to flash that kernel with sgs kernel flasher found in the market. (free)
That will give you red recovery.
As for if you need red cwm to flash, I do not know, I have only used red recovery to flash roms and I've never had a problem.

yes, I used root exlorer. sounds like I'm on the right track then, thanks!

3e Recovery Error

Ever since I flashed to the unofficial release of Froyo for the Captivate, I get an error when I try to apply an update.zip file in 3e recovery. It won't even let me into Clockwork recovery. I've tried a factory restore with ODIN (JF6), along with a Master Clear.
The exact error I get is this:
--Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:Signature verification failed
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Installation Aborted.
Any help or ideas to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated
It won't work.
You need 2e or CWM.
Ok. Excuse me, cause i'm new to all this, but how do I get 2e back. I had 2e on there before hand, and as soon as I flashed 2.2 from Samsung it turned to 3e. Everything was working fine, cause I acutally had your ROM running but decided to try the stock Froyo to see if I could fix some problems with one of my apps.
EDIT: Gosh I feel like an Idiot. Never even tried recovery on 2.1. Sometimes I just get a bit ahead of myself. Guess I am gonna have to make do with a different rom if I want Froyo.
flash a kernel with 2e recovery
Use ClockworkMod Recovery to install your "update.zip" files. 3e recovery requires files to be signed. 3e Recovery is also standard on Froyo, so simply "flashing a kernel with 2e" means you'll be running a rom on Eclair (2.1).
For your phone to get into Clockwork, the only file named update.zip on your phone, should be the one that was downloaded through ROM Manager. Any other compilation of files that you want to flash to your phone must be named something different.
Phone to DL mode, use Odin (attached) put the attached file (unzip first to get the .tar) into the PDA slot and hit GO that will put the 2e Kernel on your phone use CWM to put the update.zip on your SD reboot install package and there you go.

Ok, my bad.
Now that's a solution for JI6. There are quite a few ROMs on JK3. Is that JK3 compatible? Bottom line is that Froyo is native 3e recovery. I'd rather deal with 3e recovery & use CWM vs. patching 2e recovery.

JK3 is a i9000 rom. it hasnt been out long enough, but since its an i9000 rom, you would need a reoriented kernel in order for it to work with the captivate anyway....which means that a dev that has made the kernel would have added that feature in.

Hi there,
I'm a newbie to android. Just got my i9000 (international version of Galaxy S) for two weeks which I like it very much and flashed it to the official Froyo 2.2 (Build ZSJPD, which to my understanding is based on the European JPO) straight away. But only recently that I find out that it can neither boot into the recovery nor the download mode via the 3 button method, which makes flashing via the Odin impossible for me. I tried to download the Rom Manager to install the Clockwork Recovery Mod but I faced the same problem as the top message of this thread, i.e. it cannot get into the unsigned CWM recovery as it is running the stock 3e recovery.
Nonetheless, thanks to the "Quick Boot App", I was able to go into the stock recovery mode by clicking the dedicated button. So my question is:
Is there any way I could flash the stock kernel back to 2e recovery, given the above condition, so that I could run the CWM recovery?
Is there any apps, which would actual install a different kernel so that I could bypass the stock kernel?
Hope big guys out there could give me some hint and show me the way! Otherwise, I would miss a lot fun and can't even apply the Universal lagfix.

I thought the i9000 had a different button combo to get into download mode?

i think you would do better to post this question in the i9000 forums, or better yet, SEARCH the i9000 forums for the answer as you are currently in the CAPTIVATE forums. we have different hardware buttons.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, bout to go insane

Ok, so i have had a samsung captivate since last summer. I just did the official froyo update the other day and it was successful with kies mini. I then decided to root it using super1click which also worked successfully. I have superuser, titanium backup with busybox installed, and super manager and terminal emulator. I also successfully got clockworkmod flashed and working.
My problem is that ive got the new cognition rom on my internal sd card, but when i try to flash it with cwm, i get the 3e recovery failure message. Ive been reading various sites today on how to fix this problem, but every site seems to tell me something different. I ask this question here, because it seems to be the most knowledgeable site to go to.
How do i get my rooted captivate, with all the above installed and running, to allow me to flash a new rom and possible a new kernal down the road? Im about to go insane trying to decipher through all the info all the different sites have said. Sorry to write such a novel on a tired subject, but im going crazy. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

If you would have done a search here then you would have found that you need to do one of 2 things.
1. Flash back to 2.1
2. Replace the 3e recovery with one that doesnt check for the sig.
I dont know how to replace the 3e recovery. I think ill go with flashing back to 2.1. Once i dl Odin and flash back to 2.1, then i can flash a new rom or a new kernel? Will it undo everything i've done so far? Thanks for the help.

Here is a link to the replacement recovery.
Make sure you have the right odin and that your 3 button works right.
Yesh doing this will wipe out everything. Make sure to back up. Do not back up system data at all as when you restore it, it can lead to major issues. Once done with a custom rom it will be wiped clean. You will have to redo contacts, email, and all other settings
Thanks. Would it be okay to just flash a new kernel like speedmod kernal and just use the stock rom? Is that possible to do while im on rooted 2.2? I like the rom just fine, i just want it faster mainly. Thanks again.

To be honest I am not sure. I only had the stock on for a few hours as it was just not that great compared to the 2.2.1 rom that I have been used to running. I need BT voice dial and the added exchange options so 2.2 was not really for me. If you want a stock feel but faster then I would go with COG or one of the other roms based on the kb1 rom.
So I've come to the conclusion that I should just flash back to 2.1 and go from there. I have odin downloaded, but I'm not certain how to use it. Do you guys think I should flash a custom rom from stock, or just flash a kernel with lag fix and delete the bloatware? Thanks.
first flash 2.1 stock to get rid of the damn 3e. custom roms dont replace that always. also most custom roms dont flash with odin.
get a stock rom. read the instructions, flash

If you are getting .zip signature errors when trying to flash a rom (because you are using 3e recovery) you will not be able to flash a kernel.
Supercurio did make a KB1 kernel that is installable via Odin. If you install that, you will also get CWM recovery. Then you can flash anything you want.
Either way you will need an Odin program. Either Odin One Click to flash back to stock 2.1 or Odin v1.7 to flash the Supercurio KB1 Kernel .tar file.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I think the speedmod kernal is i9000 based which would cause a major headache/bootloop on the stock rom.

The problem is, the OP has no idea what he's doing. It sounds like he's wanting to flash to 2.1, then add a I9000 kernel. Since he's all over the place, it's hard to decipher what he's thinking.
To the OP. I'd HIGHLY suggest you look for the stickied "how to" video's by Connexxion. They will tell you what you need to do and show you EXACTLY how to do it. Invaluable info for the noobs.
Here is the link your looking for, download the installer zip file at the bottom of the first post. Extract to your fancy, use the install.bat file once extracted. Be sure to have the phone connect to the pc (DO NOT MOUNT) and have USB Debugging on.

ok no need to flash 2.1
get neldars kernel flashing app from the market
get a kernel for froyo without 3e recovery in the dev section. this one is great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=547852&d=1300708475
use neldars app (edit) "sgs kernel flasher" or something to that effect. to flash this kernel
then flash cognition
you can also use odin3 but not the oneclick downloader without the .pit file and flash the same kernel placed in the pda slot.
when you installed keis mini, it installed new WRONG drivers (for odin)
reinstall the original other drivers.
BUT. in your OP all you wanted was to be able to flash COG or something.
ALL you have to do is fix your 3e recovery, SEVERAL people including myself have told you how to fix it. then CWM will work! you dont need a computer to fix 3e if you have root explorer (google it $) .
if you are going to flash a custom rom anyway dont bother going back to 2.1.
if you are going to stay stock, 2.2 is better anyway. (aside from 3e but staying stock dont matter)
you can also use odin3 but not the oneclick downloader without the .pit file and the same kernel placed in the pda slot.

well that doesn't make my whole post irrelivent. if he is rooted and has busy box he can use neldars kernel flasher. sorry if i over looked something.
Ok, well i got the aio toolbox, and i flashed back to stock. Now im running 2.1-update1. How do i go about rooting now? I cant seem to find a root file. Thanks.

How to flash EC10 voodoo kernel?

Hey guys, I have a Mesmerize and I don't know a whole lot about how the complicated stuff that is done frequently on XDA works.
However, I really wanted Froyo for my Mesmerize so I could use flash. When the EA11 Froyo kernel leaked, I flashed it. I was able to do so because the instructions were very simple, I just downloaded Odin, ran the adb program and entered a command that put the phone in download mode, and then flashed. It all just worked.
Since I don't know about the more complicated stuff, I didn't go with any pick and pack or modified ROM with different recovery and such, just the stock EA11 ROM with stock recovery. It all worked great and was very easy.
Then EB16 leaked and I did the same procedure, just using the totally stock ROM. Then did the same with EC10. I also have Titanium backup and had to use it for EA11 because that ROM wiped all the installed apps, unlike the next two.
Currently, I am on EC10 with stock recovery and I am rooted with SuperOneClick.
I really want to flash the EC10 voodoo kernel for the speed and sound improvements and save battery life because it is undervolted. Is this the latest EC10 voodoo kernel? If so, can it be flashed with Odin? If so, how? Will it wipe out any of my apps or settings? Do I need to worry about recovery or cwm (what do those even mean)?
I always see people mention the voodoo lagfix as well. If I understand correctly, that is built into the kernel right?
I know I have a lot of questions, many thanks to whoever wants to help me out

You won't be able to flash any custom kernel's or ROM's via ODIN, these are all packaged in flash-able .zip files that are installed through Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM) it is a bios like interface that loads prior to booting of the OS which allows you access to the system files, and also allows flashing (installing) of custom rom's. Basically you'd just need to go back and odin the EC10 rom with CWM recovery located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997359. Once you have flashed that in ODIN, you will be able to boot into the red clockwork recovery using the three button method or using the Quick Boot application from the market. From there, you can "install .zip from sd card" to flash the voodoo kernel of your choice (the one you linked is correct, download and place on the root of your SD card.) And no, flashing a kernel typically does not require any sort of wipe, nor does it affect your current applications/data when flashed. Lagfix is built in but must be enabled through the voodoo option within CWM.
and FYI - this needs to be posted in the general forum as that is reserved for Q & A, the development forum is for releases only. Hopefully a MOD will move this for you.

[Q] How do you flash a new modem file?

OK, I see lots of threads on the new modem available. I've downloaded it and now I have no idea what to do next. Searches don't turn up any instructions since the word 'flash' is used a billion times in this forum.
Anybody got some instructions?
Download the community kernel from the development section and the modem of your choice, put them on your internal SD card. Download sgs kernel flasher from the market. Using sgs kernel flasher flash the community kernel which includes the red clockwork mod recovery. Once that is done, reboot into recovery and flash the modem of your choice. This is how I did it and I'm on infused 1.6.0.

This is not correct. That is a kernel flasher, not a modem flasher. To flash a modem, go into clockworkmod if you have a version that is compatible with it, then install from sdcard then select from sd card then go find the file. You may want to know where it is in the first place beforehand, usually in the download folder. Then from there just flash it. The words I said may not be exact, but they are something like it. Good luck!
Where can we get a flashable zip at? For the newest modem?
E3D
I presume that means I have to be rooted to do it? That's a disappointment. I'm staying unrooted until the official Gingerbread release. I'm frustrated because I'm still on the original modem version and checking for updates tells me I'm on the latest, which is of course a blatant lie.
First of all, go look for the thread in the devsection on modems. It will be there and thats where you get it to flash. Yea you do have to be rooted, but you may just want to. If you have ot gotten any updates, then you may never. I never did, so i rooted and installed a custom gingerbread rom. Anway if you even do this, you will be able to flash the new gingerbread rom.

pay no attention to this, you don't have to be rooted.
in the [MODEMS] development thread, notice how there are CWM flashable zips, as well as odin files for each modem.

[ODIN][KERNEL] Odin Kernel and Recovery Repository - Infuse 4G

ABOUT
------------------------
This is a collection of popular kernel and recovery combinations for the Infuse 4G in Odin tar.md5 format. Extract these rar packages in a program like 7zip, and flash the tar.md5 in Odin.
Please be sure that the kernel / recovery image that you flash is intended for the rom that you plan to use. For more information and support for each kernel, please visit the appropriate thread for that kernel. Please don't ask questions about the kernels or report kernel related bugs in this thread.
If there is another kernel that you'd like to see in this thread, let me know!

GINGERBREAD KERNELS
Stock UCLB3 Kernel / Stock UCLB3 Recovery
ODIN-UCLB3-GB-stock-zImage.rar
Note: Ensure that Voodoo lagfix is disabled before flashing the stock UCLB3 kernel. Also, this kernel should most likely only be used with UCLB3 based roms. If you have issues seeing your external SD card after using this kernel, see the answer to question 1.) in the FAQ below.

INSTALL
------------------------
1.) Download and extract the desired kernel package from the section above.
2.) If needed, download the Odin exe HERE.
3.) If needed, install the latest Samsung USB drivers. You can get these by installing Samsung Kies, which can be found HERE.
4.) Place phone in download mode.
5.) Open the Odin exe; if your phone is recognized, the window under ID:COM will turn yellow.
6.) In Odin, click on "PDA" and browse to the tar.md5.
7.) Select the tar.md5. Make sure it shows up in the PDA window, and then click on Start. Do not power off or disconnect the phone while Odin flashes the package and reboots the phone.
8.) You're finished. If the progress window in Odin is green and reads "PASS!", then you have successfully flashed the kernel / recovery package.
FAQ
------------------------
1.) I flashed the stock UCLB3 kernel and now I can't access my external sd card. How can I fix this?
In UCLB3 based roms, if you flash the stock UCLB3 kernel after using a custom kernel, you will most likely have trouble seeing your external sdcard. To fix this, use Root Explorer (or a similar app) to edit /system/etc/vold.fstab. In Root Explorer, browse to /system/etc and choose "Mount R/W" to gain write permission to the directory. Open vold.fstab in the built in text editor. Change the mmc2 in the last line to mmc1. Save and exit. Reboot, and you will regain use of your external sd card.

If you are on a GB ROM and lost recovery or in a boot loop, one attempt would be to flash just the GB kernel to get back into CWM recovery. You may not need to flash the entire ROM.
Likewise, if you are on a ICS CM9 ROM and lost recovery or in boot loop, you can also try to flash just the ICS kernel to get back to CWM recovery.
If you can't use Odin, use the Heimdall's. If you can't use the Heimdalls, use the Odin.
edit: (after thoughts for new users)
Also: If you are on any stock GB build and flash one of the GB kernels, you don't need to perform any superoneclick, modded 3e etc. You can proceed directly into CWM recovery and flash with you want. If you want only root, check out jscott's root thread or my root thread.

Thanks man, and thanks qkster for pointing out how these kernel / recovery combos can be put to good use. What's this I see: we're limited to 8 thanks per day? Guess my thanks button will have to wait until the morning.

check my sig. Kernel thread has Xda direct download of the cwm flash, from which the kernel can be extracted and flashed with sgs kernel flasher.
You can do this once you have a non stock kernel in place.
All this assumes gb, btw.

Frustrated
Somebody please help me. I put my wife's infuse back to stock (UCLB3) First I couldn't root it. Then I flashed the stock rooted with Odin. I proceded to install CWM with the 3e file, and ROM Manager. That didn't work. I also tried to flash this kernel (UCLB3) to see if it would give me CWM... Nothing! I am close to loosing my mind. I could do this **** all day long on my Epic 4G but for some reason this phone is kicking my ass.
One thing I'd like to point out is when i power down my phone and try to go into recovery the option to "reinstall packages" does not show. That is the only thing different i've noticed than all the videos and tuturials I found on the thread. Somebody please help me.

Okay, where you lose me is "the 3e file and ROM Manager." Sounds like you're not following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27283140&postcount=1
Make sure, first of all, that you're flashing this one, especially if you're flashing back from CM10. Flash in Odin following jscott30's instructions to the letter. To add CWM, download one of those kernels. Open up the zip file and pull out the zimage and put it on your sdcard (the internal one). Download SGS Kernel Flasher. In SGS Kernel Flasher, choose to flash the zimage you just put on your phone. It will ask to reboot. Reboot and Bob's you're uncle! You have CWM.
Finally, I feel bad for posting here because the dev forums are being overrun with Q&A questions like these. So, apologies to everyone else. However, I've been there and wanted to help you out. In future, please use the Q&A forum if you have a help question.
Wow whizz, thank u very much for the help. I know some moderators would get mad at what u dis. But man I was literarily loosing my mind. I evwn rhrough the phone at my wife cause I was so iritated. I folowed what u said. Extracted zimage and flashed with the kernel app off the market. All I gotta say is thank u very much. Now wheres that thank u button?

How to get stock kernel with any rom?

1. Not going to happen with JB or ICS roms.
2. GB (and Froyo) roms - make sure to disable voodoo lagfix from CWM recovery, reboot and allow conversion process to complete. Then flash a stock kernel using Odin, Heimdall, or SGS kernel flasher. You will lose CWM recovery and some ADB capabilities.
Good luck...
