Can anyone please post on this thread on how to install a Rom on a Samsung Infuse? I have downloaded the current ROM for it and do not know how to do it. I have found some directions on YouTube but to no avail. This would help others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160
And this belongs in the Questions section.
What ROMs are you referring to exactly? All custom ROMs are flashable through CWM recovery. The "official" gingerbread leaks from przekret are only flashable through Odin or Heimdall. Directions for both of these methods already exists in infuse general and infuse q&a sections. I would suggest a google search with something like this:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com samsung infuse how to install ROM via Odin
It'll tell google to ONLY search xda-developers.com for your search term. The xda search sucks (IMO).
yo have to root the phone and have CWM instaled then you can flash what you want....and this is not a development question...please post in right section
I know but seemed like I wasnt getting a good response so I decided to quickly ask here.
I am referring to SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT.RAR
I promise I will remove soon and put in the correct section to help others with similar question.
I do not have rooted phone so I downloaded the ROM that was non-rooted

If that is the leak from prezkret thread, you'll need to extract the rar and there should be a tar.md5 in there (if memory serves). You will need to use Odin to flash this on your device so being rooted is not necessary. Put your phone into download mode, connect it to your pc, fire up odin and put the tar.md5 that is within this rar into the pda slot. That's all you'll need to do.
there is a tar.md5 this really helps. thankyou

So, because you were impatient, you felt a need to break the rules of this forum and post in a section you are explicitly not suppost to post new threads in unless the thread is for something YOU have created?
What makes you think you are so special and are allowed to break the rules?
Also, I just looked through your posting history - you didn't even TRY to post in Q&A.
The bible will give you everything you will ever possibly need...

I think since you posted this question here and by some of the things you have said, you should wait on doing anything to your phone. I'm not trying to be mean but you really don't seem like you know what you are doing and that you need to do some research first. If not you'll have another post asking how to unbrick your phone. Do some reading.

That I'd what I did. I read all of the instructions from every rom thread and then hung out on IRC before I even attempted to flash a ROM
I still bricked it a few times, even partially broke download mode
Plenty of information on this forum to help you. All you need to do is search.

Very organized and helpful, thank you.
I updated the ROM section. I included a description of each ROM, put the most recent update date, updated the version numbers, and put them in order of newest to oldest.
I also put a backup section and included a how to on backing up your phone using Clockwork. It may need some further explanation but I provided the basics. I also updated the WiMax portion since it can now be done using Clockwork.

To make your life easier looking for the SGS4G Bible. It's generally on the first page of the dev forum anyway, but there you have it. It is full of amazing things you can do!
Flashing a custom ROM would be the traditional thing to do. I'm assuming you've never flashed a custom ROM before, much less on a Samsung phone.
So things to look out for would be learning Odin and ClockWork Mod.

In he bible i see a list of things to do but im so new to this i dont know the order of it all what do u recommend i do first??
The first thing I did after rooting was use this thread to learn how to flash my first ROM. From there you should be able to figure out where to go with your SGS4G fairly easily!
Im confusedddddd !!! jjajaja ill get it .... thanks so much !!
do i make the changes with the phone plugged in via usb or on the phone directly?? sorry its just im not fully understandig here
after you read that guide. download odin from the bible under the "useful files" section. then follow the noobs guide to odin (also in the bible) to odin "bali 3.3uv". i think it was posted by fbis in the dev section. this will give you the latest clockwork mod for the phone. with this...you are ready to flash. go to the dev section and choose your rom. when you figure it out. let me know and i will walk you through it.

i personally download everything with my computer and move whatever has to be moved to my phone. i like to archive everything and have it for future reference.
how can i accesses the sd card??
i appreciate all of your help ,,,,, but how do you transfer from pc to phone?
when you plug in the phone, it should ask you. if not, make sure you go into settings applications usb settings and choose mass storage
can you please suggest one to me im to new at this .... i looked around but didnt really understand,,, thanks
Search around the forum and see what sounds good. Make sure you read carefully too, before there's another "OMG, I BRICKED" thread. Even in the event that happens, be sure to search around the forums for immediate answers too.
We can't really tell you what ROMs to flash, as everybody has their own personal preference. However, if you just want something simple to flash, I think nothing gets more simple than Bionix Frost by Team Whiskey. As long as you read carefully, there will be no problems.
Good luck.
First you're gonna need CWM, which comes with the Bali kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195860
Next you need a ROM, lots of people were using this rom (icbinb):http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593
If you're not willing to read and follow instructions then please don't try to mod your phone, you might brick it.
As many will mention to you and have mentioned, the bible thread is your friend:

that sounds good to me ... mmmm im scarded im ging to ruin my phone but i want to do it
So I've been looking around for a couple of days in hopes that someone would post a stock rom to flash back to but I haven't been able to locate one. I've searched the forum but wasn't able to find one (if you guys find one please let me know!).
It'd be nice if someone could give us any word as to whether or not the original STOCK rom is attainable to flash back to. I recently flashed a ROM but decided to go back to stock as it performed better, in my biased opinion of course.
If anyone knows of this please help! If your'e in the same boat as I am, please bump!
Thanks

I have the Skyrocket (of course) and recently downloaded ICS OTA, or some sort of update. The phone rebooted as normal, but gave me the Clock Work Mod screen. I rebooted the phone from there and got a nice error message on my home screen saying the update was interrupted. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First!
Read around. Answers are everywhere!

Maybe im wrong but to do an update like that dont you have to be on stock recovery not cwm. I know some of the experts will chime in. FYI make sure you put things like this in Q&A for future ref.
I'm not sure if it was ICS or not. But I simply clicked on "Check for updates" under device management and I have one. The phone downloads the update but when it restarts I get the CWM Recovery screen. I'm new to Clock Work, but I went ahead and restored my phone to a previous setting through Rom Manager and tried again. Same thing. Do I need to disable CWM?
This is why I made this thread

First thing you need to specify, are you with rogers? Which phone do you have exactly?
flash the recovery file from sammobile through odin. Which also has ICS tar for the Rogers equivalent. Download the file, flash through odin. There is an All in one guide for noobs near the top of the general forum with layed out instructions, just find the post you need on the front page and follow those instructions. It should be listed under returning to stock or unrooting.
i would download the ICS tar from sammobile and use the method in the guide.

That will show you how to get back to stock. that is the first sticky in the dev section.
Edit: oh beat me to it i type too slow lol.
As this is a question it belongs in Q&A. To OP your questions should should have answers in the stickies and the many Upgrade related thread elsewhere. But since the community pitched in I will just placce in Q&A.

Good morning. Let me try to help you out... There are a ton of detailed instructions in the forum for your device. Below I am giving you the link to the General forum. Check out the thread titles to find the things you're looking for, and definitely read the stickies at the top of the forum. Nobody is going to retype everything that's already right there, but there are helpful people who will answer questions if you have them after reading the guides for yourself first. Check 'em out:

If you haven't rooted the device and it has Android on it then you are on the stock ROM right now. So, follow any of the guides written out for your device (link above), which will tell you how to first root the device, then to install something called Clockworkmod Recovery ("CWM" it will be called), and then to make a backup of your stock ROM ("nandroid" it will be called). From that point you can read more about custom ROMs and start to have fun. Read first though, trust me. It's worth the time to make sure you don't brick the thing by doing something you shouldn't have.
Enjoy.
thanks a lot friend i ll try it for sure

you can find it on galaxy s2 subforum for custom rom, custom recovery and root tools
if you have installed the custom recovery and root, do a nandroid back up of your current ROM (system, boot, data) in case you want to go back to your old rom
