[Q]: Rogers Infuse, Won't install CMW, no recovery file in /system/bin - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hey, I'm a total noob but I have been diggin around. Rooted my first phone after bricking it a few times before installing this, which finally unbricked my phone leaving it rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927
but my problem now is, when I try to install modded 3e recovery by replacing the old recovery file(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091465) in /system/bin I find it that there is nothing there, instead the recovery file shows up in the root folder... which is pretty messed up.

I have tried replacing the recovery file in the root folder and placing it into the /system/bin folder, nothing seems to work... It could have to do with the cracked version of Root Explorer I have... but that seems unlikely as the recovery file is simply not where it's spposed to be. And as expected, it still checks signature rendering me unable to install CMW (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881)
I have resorted to other methods such as the one described by this user:

5. Now, your phone will have ClockWork Mod (CWM) for install custom rom.
6. Choose custom rom and follow method.
Enjoy.

But my phone gets stuck at the samsung screen and starts speaking in a robotic voice saying something about not enough room in system partition...
I have also tried to flash this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
which comes with the modded 3e recovery... same issue, except I was able to get into the recovery mode once, and it was indeed CMW, but after factoy resetting and clearing the cache it still gets stuck at samsung screen and a robotic voice comes on saying the same thing.
If anyone has any idea or could point me in the right direction, it would be much apprecieated.
Thanks

The easiest thing to do is put your phone in download mode while connected to Odin and flash the community kernel from the superthread....this will give you red cwm ....the voice you are hearing is voodoo lagfix activating...wipe data, cache,and dalvik cache....format system and data...fix permissions and then flash your desired rom....

every time I do it my phone seems to brick.
...EDIT: nvm fixed it, forgot to disable lagfix

Nice. Glad i found this. you disable lagfix by putting the Voodoo file on ur internal sd right? the one with disable-lagfix? or should these b deleted ? ugghhh

I can't remember offhand but if you Google disable voodoo lagfix or search in the QA thread, you should get some hits. It wasn't hard from what i remembered...empty folder or somthing like that...also can be disabled in cwm...there's a voodoo lag disable.
Important to keep straight rfs files system from voodoo. You'll boot loop...i found that out the hard way.

Disable lag fix before flashing community kernel. Or be bootlooped.

Then I also tried deleting the Voodoo file, reboot... still no recovery in system/bin... its on my root as first posted by jakjak

sorry people don't seem to read the title. don't use community kernel that's froyo. use the kernel in the Rogers root thread, infusion gb a2, hellrsiser, or entropy dd. if you have already rooted then sgs kernel flasher creates less confusion because you don't have to worry about what form the package is in. it can flash .tar.md5, .zip and other package types with or without internal folders.
since its having trouble with the lagfix create /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix
the V in Voodoo is capital and all others are lower case. disable-lagfix can be either a text file name or an empty folder. it just look for the path, not anything in it.
then you will have red cwm and be free to flash whatever.

So how do I go about putting this on? Flash the .zip with clockwork or flash the image via fastboot?

as i see you are s-off so you can't use fake flash method,download the img file (the second one) so u just have to burn the recovery with unrevoked flasher tool, or the android flasher tool both are good and working.
soz i don't have time to search links, i think if u go a little down by pages u will find the android flasher.
Go to your "old" ClockworkRecovery and apply Update.zip
Worked fine for me!

I get this too. When I'm actually in recovery the version number is 2.5.1.2, but ROM Manager reports the version number as 2.5.0.7. ROM Manager also says the latest version is still 2.5.0.7. I guess it's ROM Manager that's wrong, rather than the actual recovery.

i did a backup using nandroid on this new recovery and now im in a bootloop...need assistance...
Why did you alter the source before you built it? You added your own name to the recovery screen, while I don't see that you changed or added any functionality of the recovery. Your changelog is identical to the github logs.

[ROOT] [KERNEL] [RECOVERY] - Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery

Hi all
Whipped this up for a friend. Thought we'd be nice and share
These packages will work on any current sw version for the Charge.
Please find below kernel and recovery packages hacked for the following:
permanent adb root
installs Superuser and su binary automatically on boot
includes Voodoo ext4 lagfix - CREDIT TO SUPERCURIO! http://project-voodoo.org/lagfix
lowmemorykiller tweaks
sdcard readahead cache speed tweak
If you are using Odin to flash, simply flash the below package. If you are using Heimdall, remove the zImage file from the below package and flash it.
After flashing the first time, you will hear a voice from the phone telling you what is occurring. The conversion to ext4 will take a few minutes. BE PATIENT. Once it boots, Superuser should be installed, and your phone's filesystem will be converted from rfs to ext4. To disable Voodoo lagfix and convert back to rfs, simply create a file on your sdcard inside the Voodoo folder, named "disable-lagfix". Then reboot your phone and listen for the voices again. This will also take a few minutes.
Please familiarize yourself with using Odin or Heimdall and have backup images on-hand if you are going to use this kernel. If you screw up, you will need them
I DO NOT have a Charge, these files have been tested by other users. As always I assume absolutely NO liability for anything that happens if you use this kernel. Phone blows up? It's on you to fix it
If you find this software helpful please click the "Thanks" or the "Donate" button. Either is fine by me. If you would like to investigate the changes that were made, please feel free to find them here, and here.
Enjoy.
EDIT
Uploaded 2nd version
EDIT
Uploaded 3rd version
changed the install scripts around
should copy files more efficiently
fix file ownership and permissions
UNTESTED!
EDIT
Uploaded 4th version
Confirmed root from independent user!
rewrote install process to preserve file path and permissions
will look into the bootanimation graphics issue
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14764513/VoodooChargeKernel4.tar.md5
EDIT
Uploaded additional recovery file
Flashes custom version of ClockworkMod recovery 3.x
Recovery includes Voodoo specific options for enabling/disabling Voodoo lagfix
Flash with Odin or Heimdall just like the kernel files
HAS BEEN LIGHTLY TESTED! USE CAUTION AND HAVE A BACKUP!
if you do not have root:
* check adb shell and see if you get a '#' prompt. If so, you *have* root on adb, and you may install whatever you want in /system
* check to see if Superuser app is installed
* check to see if /system/xbin/su exists on your phone.
If you have problems, please post the results of those checks. Thanks.
LLGW. Headed to bed now but first thing in the morning, I wondering what I'm doing
Thanks jt!!!! Can't wait to flash this once my charge comes in the mail.

What verison of odin should I use? I just flashed this and it failed.
using odin3 v1.3 and failed too..
phone wont boot, had to reflash ed1
The kernel flash was successful, and the filesystem conversion took about 8 minutes to run. However, I was not rooted when the phone booted back up. Here is what I did, let me know if I missed a step:
Start on rooted ED1
Accept ED2 OTA
Lose Root
Flash new kernel using ODIN
After ~10 minutes, phone boots successfully, but I do not have root.

Keep trying. I finally got it to flash with 1.30. Seems to be booting. On boot it did not change the file system, it just booted normally.
Edit:I just put in my spare battery and it is now converting the file system. The other battery was probably too low.
Where's my wifi? Anyone else facing an error when attempting to start wifi?
Yeah it looks like it killed wifi. I also am not rooted.
So if I flash back to rooted ED1 will it wipe my data?

[Q] "Install Updates" not appearing in recovery menu

First off, I tried to add the 3e recovery by replacing the Recovery file in /system/bin.
I couldn't find a recovery file in there..which I found to be pretty odd.. but I placed the 3e recovery file in there anyway.
I rebooted into recovery and it brought me to the blue recovery menu and it doesn't have the "Install updates" option.
Help!

Did you remember to change the permissions for the recovery file?
What was done to your phone prior to your attempt to install 3e? And try selecting "reinstall packages" (first option in blue CWM) to boot into green CWM...what are you trying to do exactly? B/c I don't recall an install updates option in CWM.
oops - I meant to say it didn't have the "reinstall packages" option in the menu. Hm.. I think I should use Root Explorer. Currently I'm using Super Manager but it has no option to change permissions, that I could find.

Than that must be your problem, the permissions have to be set, Root Explorer is WELL worth the money. Once you get it the permissions should all be good just uncheck the group/write box, then try booting into recovery and reinstalling packs
Hm.. so I bought Root Explorer, changed the permissions but it's still doing the same thing. Am I doing something wrong?
Btw I found a recovery file, but it's not in /bin. It has a different date on it, and it says rwxr-xr-x on it.

I think those permissions are what the original recovery is set to (and what the 3e recovery needs to be set to) what size is the file? If that is the original, rename it to something like recovery.orig
It is 404.77K in size. Should I move this to bin?
DLXII said:

No, I'm pretty sure that's the original cuz the 3e recovery file I extracted from the zip when I did 3e is 306.64k and right outta the zip the 3e recovery permissions should be --xrwxr-x which you need to change to match the original.
So here's what I would do, rename the file in question to recovery.orig.
Next I would start over, find the 3e recovery zip and extract it.
Go to extracted and find the recovery file(306.64k, --xrwxr-x) from that zip and copy it.
Scroll up to the parent folder (..) press till it goes away basically.
Find System/Bin and scroll down to a recovery file if any is in there. (you can either delete it or rename)
Make sure you hit the mount button at the top.
Hit paste, and change the permissions of that recovery file to the correct format and see if that works for you.

I followed everything you did, but I still bumped into this. Maybe the 3e recovery file I downloaded could be corrupted?
Ok, it's not applying the 3e it looks like, one more thing, you said the original recovery was not in system/bin(didn't catch that on your last post),you should probably put the recovery.orig file in the system/bin location with the new 3e recovery file, not sure if it will help. It's just weird that reinstall packages is not showing up.
I went ahead and did that, but for some reason the original recovery (renamed recovery.orig) isn't renamed, like as if it never saved any changes that I did.
Anyways, I renamed it and added it to system/bin along with the 3e recovery file and set the permissions correctly. Both have the same permissions, actually.
I booted into clockwork and it's still the same screen.
Ya they should have the same permissions, well damn, I've troubleshot every way I knew how...
Here is a LINK for an ODIN back to stock that will put you back to stock but give you root and modded 3e, since apparently your phone is being uber difficult. Just follow the instructions including the samsung kies drivers (download Kies here)
This is what I use whenever I have problems and it works for me every time
Thank you a lot for your patience and your help! I really appreciate it. I'll try the link out. Hopefully it'll work on a rogers phone..

No problem, I've been in your shoes, trust me, and I wasn't aware you were on a rogers infuse, so you rooted using THIS method? I'm not sure if 3e is the same for ATT and Rogers, but I know rooting is different along with many other things. The link I gave you might not work on rogers infuses, I wouldn't want you to brick your phone.
Yea i used that method. Hm.. I guess I'll just lay low with rooting until I find a solution. Thanks!
Well it's late here, but maybe tomorrow someone with more Rogers Infuse expertise will chime in, sorry, I know the ATT infuse pretty well just not Rogers
If I run across anything useful, I'll post it here
THIS link should solve your issues, specifically for Rogers.

[Q] Root or restore after Flash?

I did the wrong thing and assumed my phone was still rooted after using t-mobile's upgrade from froyo to gingerbread.
I flashed my phone and now I am stuck on the manual mode screen. I assume (oh boy) I cannot place a custom rom since my phone wasn't rooted and therefore doesn't have permission to write to the phone. (I can't flash bootloaders)
At this point my data on phone is trashed I am sure, but I do have the contents of my sd card intact. I didn't backup before I started - hijole! I know.
I am not sure if I can use Super one click to root and continue to install a custom rom, or I should go back to base line and restore to original. Problem is I don't know how to goto the original at this point, and I don't know if super one click will work with my phone at its current state.... Argh! Will post pic of screen when I go to lunch today... Thought i had it with me on my iPhone. I assume to much!
Can you be more specific on the manual mode screen and what it looks like? Just to clarify, when you flashed from Froyo to GB (using Kies Mini, I assume) you did lose root. However, that does not prevent you from flashing a custom ROM. You can use ODIN or Heimdall to flash a ROM, then use one of those again to flash a kernel with root, with CWM, with voodoo lagfix, all of the above, or use SuperOneClick (the latest) to root it.
I'm guessing you might be able to get into download mode which means you could ODIN RaverX3X's 2.3.6 Stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176) which is the Kies Mini official update just repackaged for ODIN. That will get you onto stock 2.3.6. From there you have options
I am supplying a pic of the "Manual Mode" I was referring to, and yes I did originally use Kies to upgrade from Froyo to GB. Again thanks for the info:

Sweet, so you have it working?
I think he says is stuck on that screen.
Do a battery pull on your device to turn it off, then put it back in. To put it into download mode for odin, hold volume up+down while plugging your phone into your pc. Then use odin to flash.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
The problem he initially had is the rainbow screen and, although he can get into download mode, he's been unable to get his computer to see the phone. Thus he couldn't use ODIN to re-flash a good ROM.
djlalorocks, can you verify the state of the phone now? The screenshot you gave, by the way, is the CWM recovery screen. If we can get a good CWM-based ROM onto your SD card then you could flash from there.
Do you have an SD card reader for your computer you can use? I know the phone's not working in mass storage so that option is out.
Edit: My apologies; I went back and re-read what you wrote. When I saw that you found the upload feature I thought you meant you got a ROM to upload to the phone. I didn't realize you meant the picture of the screen. I'm slow sometimes
Haven't had a chance to work on it... I am on a mac, and yes I can place files onto a sd. My windows computer is having usb driver issues.

Heimdall (open source alternative to ODIN) works on the MAC, I believe. Regardless, if you can download Raver's Kj6-Rom-CWM-Offical-GB-2.3.6, put it on the SD card, go into the recovery screen (the one where you made the screen shot), use the volume down key to scroll to "install zip from sdcard", press the power button to select it, then select "choose zip from sdcard", scroll to where you put the file mentioned above, select it with the power button, then scroll to "Yes - Install sgs4g-OfficialGB2.3.6.zip" and select it.

Cannot install stable CM10.2

My capasitive back, home and recent apps buttons has stopped working so I would like to have the on screen buttons as I do on my Nexus 10.
I tried to root the device to be able to modify the /system/build.props file. I used the superboot method but that din't work as I have S-ON. I then continued trying to install CM 10.2, and in the process, when installing CWM recovery, that asked If I wanted to root and I did. I then booted back in to the stock ROM now with root but after changing the build.props file it just reverted after reboot. I then continued to flash the CM10.2 and gapps for 4.3, but the device fails to boot... Now I have reverted to backup and use the button savior, but I don't like it...
I suspect that trying to flash this superboot messed up something... ? On one of the start up screens I have a disclaimer in red about HTC development software which came up after I tried to flash that...

Can anybody help me?
Having root does not grant you automatically rights to modify system files. For altering build.prop you should have mount /system partition in R/W mode before trying to edit the file. Even if you have root, /system is read only so you cannot save changes. You could mount system as R/W either by ADB commands issuing the following from command prompt:
su
adb shell mount -o rw, remount /system
Or by mounting system R/W from the root file Explorer you're using
Sent from nowhere over the air...
I used root explorer to alter the file, and before edit i clicked the mount r+w button. I read somewhere that on-screen buttons does not work on HTC sense anyways, so I may have to install CM or an other rom... I tried to flash just the CM10.2 an not the gapps now, but it fails to boot. The HTC splash screen comes up, the screen goes black, the splash comes, goes black, and so it goes...
I forgot to flash the boot.img... inside the zip

Although this is for another HTC model, the basic idea should get you started again.

I Guess that when i tried the superboot, that did something to my kernel. Inside the .bat file it actually flashes the boot (isn't that the kernel?)
Cyanogenmod also has a note in the install procedure which I initialy didn't do:
Note:
This device, if unlocked with HTCDev Unlock, must have its kernel flashed via fastboot. Extract boot.img from the CyanogenMod .zip package and flash it from the bootloader with: fastboot flash boot boot.img

So I flashed the boot.img inside the Cyanogenmod .zip first, than I wiped and installed the Cyanogenmod .zip from the CWM recovery. I ended up using the M7 snapshot of CM11, and that worked! I then flashed gapps for Android 4.4.
After everything was up and running I edited the /system/build.props using root explorer (I mounted /system as r+w inside root explorer) adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, rebooted and got the softkeys!
So what happens if you flash TWRP as the link says?

I din't use TWRP. I used CWM Touch 6.0.4.8.
I probably could just flashed the boot.img after the device didn't boot, but I reverted to backup, and started over and started with the boot flash...

Can you get to the boot loader menu?
You can still flash TWRP on there and follow the instructions. If you really want CWM afterwards, simply flash CWM back on. I would try the link since it is talking about stopping your boot loop.

As I said: I'm OK! Flashing the boot.img from inside the zip did the trick. Everything is working like a charm now.
