I just got my new phone and i am ready to install custom roms. I am coming from a Captivate. I've been read and searching about how to install roms. After reading and search i have a few questions.
I am currently at stock UCKH1 2.2.1 FROYO. I would like to update to Gingerbread. it seems as there is some Gingerbread ROMS, but no Gingerbread bootloaders? Do i need Gingerbread bootloaders to intall the custom roms in the Samsung Infuse Dev section?
I've read that some Gingerbread roms are not root able, but then read that they are? After looking at some of the ROMS some state that they are rooted.
I've read that i will lose CWM after flashing Gingerbread as well, how would i get CWM back after installing MitRa Rom?
Maybe i am totally confused i do have a simple mind, but if some one has a little time can you explain these issues to me please.
Thanks,
TA

I just came from a captivate. The infuse is a lot easier to flash roms. If you are on stock Froyo, download any gingerbread leak and flash it using odin. Download entropys kernel and flash it with odin. Entropys kernel has cwm. Its a little different from the captivate but it really don't take long to get used to.

The only kernel i found that's entropys kernel is this one.

I got sgs4g rooted and installed trigger rom on it and upgraded to bali kernel. I would like to upgrade to gingerbread rom stock that samsung released 2.3.5 and also try a custom gb rom after. Ive been reading a lot and my only question is all posts here say from froyo use one of the two gb roms with bootloaders, to flash gingerbread, then flash back to kc1 or kd1 so I can run cwm and flash gingerbread again. then im set. The samsung release does not state from froyo to do anything else.but flash gingerbread from odin and yer done. So would just odining the gb rom from samfirmware.com just be it? Or would I need to flash ones with boot loaders firat and back to kd1? Or is back to kd1 just for flashing gb rom from cwm which I currently have on cwm. I just want to know if.i should do the bootloader flashing of kc1/kd1 from trigger froyo rooted cwm to get to gingerbread stock or gb rom like octaine or audiophile. Please anyone ? Ive read everything and know the procedure just wondering about if flashong bootloaders... How ppl with straight stock w/o rooy would know to do extra steps or not. Thanks

You're confusing yourself and me. Go the the development section & look for The GB Starter guide by fbis251. Sure, painless, fast way to get on gingerbread.

I will do the kj1 kernel. I did update through keis. Phone calls have no sound unless I press speaker twice, anyone ?

I getting confused by your post. But from what I'm getting, I think you want to know how to downgrade so you can upgrade to KJ6 on Kies. Odin or CWN down to KB5 or KD1 then connect to Kies. Downgrading to KD1 didn't work for me, but downgrading to KB5 did.
Then use SOC 2.2 to root your phone, will hang and fail the first time but will root the second time. As for CWN, you can use dr. hong KJ1 custom kernel but that will downgrade your kernel down to KJ1 from KJ6. If you want KJ6 kernel with CWN, wait for dr. honk.
Hello Folks,
I am stuck with Samsung-Infuse Here ...
Previously I was on CatyRom - 2.3.6 on infuse .. but seems it broke the phone capabilities .. I was not able to install most of the applications from the market... even the basic applications like "Facebook" / "Google Apps" wouldn't get installed..."device incompatible" or something like that it would pop in the "Market" itself...
so after a few tries... I have finally reverted back to the Stock ROM...Thanks a ton to gtg for this post.... ) atleast finally the things are working...

But it's FROYO... ( I'm currently on UCKE3...
I tried getting the OTA version from AT&T ... through manual update .. and *#*#checkin#*#*.... but somehow that was not able to get me the update...
So currently I am trying to flash the ROMS mentioned in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6]
ROM I997UCKK2 [2.3.6]
[CUSTOM ROM] Compiled CM 7 for Infuse 4G [2.3.7]
I've tried flashing through ODIN .. as well as through "sdcard/update.zip" but none seems to be working out for me...
even tried getting the firmware-update using the "Kies" & "Kies-Mini" especially launched for Infuse customers... but none seems to work ...
Can someone please help me out with this one... ?
Thanks,
/P
there is no official gb. only leaks.the last leak was uckl2.
once on uckl2 you might not be able to root it, you will have to swap Kernels around. might want to flash Zeus instead unless you really want cm7.
you need cwm to flash the roms, most roms don't have an update script that works in stock recovery. fastest way to cwm is to flash a voodoo kernel in sgs kernel flasher or Odin or heimdall. if you have root use kernel flasher.
or you can do it the slow way and replace recovery with a modded version, then use green cwm for the i9000 via update.zip.
I am looking for a snappy ROM which works fast .... not looking specifically for CM7...
I decided on CM7, from the reviews of other folks .. lot's of folks are returning back to CM7 after trying out "Infuse" / sensation .. and "Caty"... so was just wondering what would be the best option ..
I am looking for a stable version; as I do not flash often ... I would stick to a stable version for a little longer then flash all the new updates/leaks that keep coming..

Newb question here. I flashed my captivate down to stock rom (2.1 eclair)..can I reflash to the latest ICS flash rom using odin or do I have to update in build order (eclair - froyo - gingerbread - then ICS). I'd like to stick with odin if possible. Thanks again for all the help.
You can jump to any ROM you like. No need to go in any order.

This is true only if you have gingerbread bootloaders. If you dont, you need to flash the gingerbread bootloaders before you flash a gingerbread or ICS ROM.

Good morning..
Couldn't find an exact thread, but long story short:
I'm failing at trying to root my 2.3.6 gingerbread infuse,
and from what I've read, it's just so much easier doing it on froyo.
How can I downgrade to froyo?
Thanks in advance-
here you go

You can Odin to froyo...or you could Odin to a pre rooted gingerbread
Check out the super thread and just choose one of the pre rooted odins or hemidals
A pre rooted Odin/hemidal pretty much flashes/installes stock system but its already rooted for you
I suggest qksters uclb3 hemidal-thats the latest gingerbread leak

New to the infuse forums (so hoping I don't get beat up too much) basically Im trying to Downgrade my brothers infuse from the att ota gb update uclb3 back to froyo or upgrade to a custom gb rom, he is super pissed at me because his phone is super laggy and im the one that updated his phone. Tried to read through stuff but got a lil confused as the title states (I think I got spoiled from the i777 forums) any how if someone can point me to a good guide to follow from rooting to installing a rom or just reverting to stock froyo and a nice stable rom suggestion that would be nice. odin method preferred as i have no experience with heimdall. again appreciate the help and sorry if this is a redundant post (puts on flame retardant suit :angel

I myself suggest using Qksters Heimdall One Click to get the phone back to stock Gingerbread UCBL3, Using SuperOneClick to root the phone, then as far as custom ROMs, Might I suggest AEON v1.4?
AEON can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545239
Heimdall One Click can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Also when going with Heimdall one click theres another package provided by qkster for CWM recovery, its the Kernel one click package which can be found in the same link above.

Thanks got a little overwhelmed sooo many guides lol. So since he is on the borked att gb already (came with froyo out of the box) guess I'll move on to rooting and installing a custom rom. Thinking of sticking with gb based roms. Taking the kiss approach since my brother is not that tech savvy and my goal is to find the most stable rom for him (his answer to bugs is bro fix this now!!!) Lol he did want ics cause he saw mine but idk how stable the ics roms for the infuse is yet so I got reading to do. Guess he'll just have to put up with att crap a day or two longer.

If you can use heimdall, the simplest way is to put the phone into download mode and flash my uclb3 stock package or adam outler's stock package.
The second post in each op contains the insecure kernel. These kernels are also flashed in download mode. Once these custom kernels are flashed, you can boot into CWM and then flash the custom firmware you want.
If you are familiar with Odin, check out some of jscott30's thread. He has several Odin premade rooted firmware package that are also very nice.
Once you have the firmware you want, Zen has cooked up a few kernels that can overclock at 1400 or 1600. These will provide quite a bit of speed over stock kernels.
