I'm gonna make this short and simple.
I've got a stock Infuse 4G on 2.3.6 and I have no idea how to root it.
To my knowledge, SOC does not work.
How do I go about rooting my phone?
This might have already been answered, but I can't find a thread concerning it. A link would be appreciated, if possible.
with a kernel switcheroo. you need a non secure kernel to root it, fortunately the Rogers 2.3.3 kernels do boot 2.3.6. flash an older custom kernel like the hellraiser kernel through heimdall, I suggest heimdall just because its easier to extract a kernel zimage from an update than to do that but then create a .tar.md5 archive of it. you can use the ever popular entropy DD kernel but if you go back to the 2.3.6 kernel then you will have to change the vold.fstab back to stock.
the kernel flash may root the phone depending on the kernel but its an older su binary and if you update it the kernel will overwrite it on next boot.
if you want to use a custom kernel permanently then use entropy DD because it has had the root script removed allowing updates to su. though it doesn't root it will allow root through adb so soc may work after you flash that kernel. then you can update the binary through superuser
if you are gonna use the stock 2.3.6 kernel then use an old build of entropy or an old hellraiser kernel. then boot up and flash the 2.3.6 kernel back to the phone through heimdall or sgs kernel flasher. (sgs Kernel flash has the ability to find the zimage inside of a .zip or. tar even in subfolders so you can actually put the leak .tar on the SD card and flash the kernel that way if you can't figure out heimdall)
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try it tomorrow since it looks like it may take a while...

andrew,
did you bought the phone with stock 2.3.6 installed? what version is it? uckl2?
did you flash it with one of the unofficial GB leaks?
thanks.
ohh almost forgot about voodoo. the custom kernels convert the files system and wont allow you to flash the stock kernel, you'll get bootloops. if you don't intend to keep the custom kernel disable lagfix before you start by creating a folder with the path /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix
the V in Voodoo is capital. all other letters are lower case.
read the Rogers root thread for more details. its the same process laid out for rogers since that thread was written before soc worked on anything above 2.3.2. actually that kernel will also work on 2.3.6 for att.

I haven't tried this yet, Dani. Would it be possible for him to use heimdall one click defuse kernel that adam made to obtain red recovery then flash the super user fix to install SU?

No you don't... If you're on stock you're on 2.2.x (AT&T) or 2.3.3 (Rogers).
AT&T hasn't released Gingerbread for the Infuse yet.

yes but if he is already on gingerbread he needs a backup gingerbread kernel, if he uses cwm for the gb kernel it must already be on the SD card.
so it would be
1. download cwm flashable gb kernel to the SD card
2. download heimdall defuse kernel oneclick to PC and install drivers, I haven't done this on windows in a while but the Samsung drivers should work but heimdall also has there own system to recognize the device. forgot what its called....
3 run heimdall from run in windows or terminal in other os and put phone in download mode and connect the data cable
4. flash defuse kernel
5. boot into recovery with 3button. phone wont boot gb on froyo kernel but recovery works.
6. flash root
7.flash gb kernel
8. reboot
9. win
I used to use the mismatched kernels on the captivate. if nothing else was working I'd go back to stock 2.1, flash a froyo kernel with cwm and then flash a froyo or gb rom. 3 easy steps.
Rooting 2.3.6
Simply use the Heimdall Defuse Kernel to flash red cwm then flash the rooted version of the ROM Or a custom rom. it pre-roots your phone for you just click flash

Thanks to GTG465x WE HAVE ROOT!!!
Hi
Straight up and simple: Can someone work a method for rooting the Rogers Infuse.
Thank you so very much.
I promise a small donation to the helper.
this will probably come in the form of either a kernel or full Odin package.
gtg has a Rogers custom kernel in the works, maybe tomorrow, if it has a script to root like the other voodoo kernels then you could flash it in Odin.
if i knew what gtg knows i could give a better answer. maybe he has a different way to push the root binaries now that he knows more about the firmware.
Yup. Most likely when Infusion V2 official comes out, it will be released as an Odin package. This will work for Rogers or AT&T Infuse users to obtain rooted gingerbread goodness.
Actually it has to be since V2 beta 1 doesn't have working clockworkmod - the only way to flash a kernel to it is odin/heimdall.

or sgs kernel flasher
i have already used it to flash a 2.2.1 kernel to get cwm back and restore my 2.2.1 backup to make a titanium backup ( i was kinda hasty in my upgrade, forgot all about backing up my apps) then i flashed v2b1 again and restored apps.
a kernel that roots in a .tar archive is all the canadians need to flash roms but it wouldnt be logical not to have a full odin package for the updated rom.
Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere. I just read this CNet article about the leaked GB release. I am thinking about downloading it. Is this the one that people are having issues rooting with? If so, can someone provide me step by step instructions for this fix without changing kernel?
I have flashed ROM before. I follow instructions well, but I don't always follow exactly what is being discussed in the threads unless there are clear instructions. Perhaps I missed some that already exist?

Thanks.
To root you'd need to:
Flash that release
Flash one of the custom Gingerbread kernels - note that this will break wifi and HDMI temporarily
Root the system partition (actually most custom kernels will do this for you)
Flash back to the kernel from the leak
Ok, so I can just flash back to the original kernel when done? Sounds simple enough. I have flashed the rim before, but not the kernel. However I am sure I can find instructions for this. I assume the Infusion kernel would work just fine?
Thanks.

In theory - it's a feature I have not tested as I've always used pre-rooted /system partitions - it's one of the features that came from gtg's initramfs work back when the Rogers Infuse first dropped. It should work as I believe gtg tested it.

1. for restoring stock : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

3. Install clockwork recovery and rom manager
4. Install custom roms.

Pretty sure it came with 2.2 but not sure.
Then I wouldn't do that 2.1 Odin one click.... Look for a stock 2.2 Odin or Heimdall, make sure to read thoroughly too.

Note: as b-eock pointed out, make sure what was your stock version before restoring it!
I've always just flashed newer than my stock to avoid that problem and it always works well for me, after bricking or when i want to flash a new rom i flash to cappy gingerbread and flash boog kernal to get CWM(clockworkmod). CWM is essential is you plan on flashing to other roms. If you plan on flashing to another rom anyways it doesn't matter which version of stock you load as long as it work so I'd just flash 2.2 or newer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
- this has all the odin 1-click flashable packages for captivate
To do everything you want to do...
flash back to stock, use 2.2 or one of the 2.3 versions. If you plan on flashing to a gingerbread rom (2.3) you'll most likely need the gingerbread bootloaders, if you don't originally flash a odin package with the gingerbread bootloaders you might be asked to install them later depending on what rom you use
incase you don't know odin is the computer program used to flash one click packages, you can find it by searching XDA, one click packages won't require it.
odin has to be open before you plug the usb into the phone putting it into download mode.
to flash to other roms you need CWM (ClockWorkMod-a customized recovery mode for the phone) the thread in this post has links to odin flashable kernals with CWM for each software build. To get CWM flash the respective kernal for the version you use. You'll need odin to flash the new kernal, its essentially stock apart from CWM. In odin select PDA and browse to the kernal zip to flash it.
you can search around XDA for oneclickroots, they will typically be odin or CWM flashable it's quite straight forward. New roms will typically already be rooted so you shouldn't have to root again.
good luck!
Does anyone know which exact ODIN i need to flash to get back to 2.2 from download mode.
You can use adamoutler's uckb2 heimdall one click. That's stock 2.2.
But whitch ODIN do i use.
Gez, HTC is so much easier then this samsung!

Unfortunately, there is currently no Odin one-click of stock Froyo (at least that I'm aware of). If you want stock Froyo, you'll need to either piece it together with full Odin, or use the Heimdall One-Click.

Take a look in this post. That should get you the right 3E recovery.
Once you have that, you can either use ROM Manager to install CWM recovery, or see if you can find a kernel with it already baked in and use ODIN to flash the kernel (look for the speedmod kernel).
Or you could flash stock GB, but that updates bootloaders and is a whole different can of worms.

Normally, the answer would be yes. However, as part of the Froyo update, AT&T managed to mess up the recovery menu, meaning that it won't flash unsigned packages. This makes getting CWM basically impossible without doing the steps in that post or flashing a different kernel.
You can root if you want to, but doing the steps in that post first will save you some headache.

I already rooted =/ , should i still try this?
If you have full ODIN, go here, and download the kernel labeled "speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar" at the end of the first post. Open Odin, and in the "PDA" slot, navigate to the .tar file and flash it. That will get you the speedmod kernel, which has CWM, which you need to be able to flash.
Once it's flashed, just hold V+/V-/Power until it reboots, and then you'll be in CWM and can flash MIUI.
I'm assuming you've backed up all your apps with Titanium Backup, right? If you haven't, do that before you do anything else so you don't lose them.

Sorry for dumb question.. as I am really novice for installing custom rom..
I read similar contents from [BIONIX BIUI] but there is no Q&A of [BIONIX BIUI] here so allow me to post here...
I was in Darky Rom and switched to FusionXII direct through CWM qithout any problem and now hope to flash BINIX BIUI...
Do I have to flash UCKL2's stock bootloader first through ODIN then should flash KJ2 based custom rom or can flash direct through CWM ???
Anything should I be careful when switching from one rom to another ??

You should avoid messing with bootloaders whenever possible.
The only reason EVER to flash a bootloader on Infuse is to transition from Froyo to Gingerbread - once you're on a Gingerbread bootloader, if you're staying with a Gingerbread ROM, keep the bootloader.

I had GB running. Last night I flashed Infused 1.6.0 (Froyo), and then came back to GB rom, with no issues. So I think once we are on GB, we can switch back and forth while being careful not to mess with CWM.
Or maybe I was lucky 'cos the the line in Infused 1.6.0 changelog:
"Removed recovery binary to prevent the phone from booting into green CWM"
stick with gingerbread bootloaders after you install them
I'd avoid Bionix for the time being. I've been doing this for a while and I it's taking some work to get back.. flash around with the others for a while and get some experience.. Doesn't mean you don't have good work nopco..
Ok, thanks guys...
Sorry again for novice question again..
I want to "Stick" to GB bootloarder... the problem is "HOW?"
I read through forum and found out there is no way to check whether I am in GB' bootloader or not...
Already flashed with UCKL2 Stock Rom once, so can I consider I have GB bootloader now ???
I flashed other rom such as MaxQ, FusionXII and re-flash to BIONIX without Rainbow problem so this is ok now ?
Thanks again for advice again, duds..

Everyone has their way of installing roms. What's weird is I have no idea how everyone is getting different color recovery screens other than red. The only recovery I've ever had has always been red in Cwm. Simple if your on Froyo if you flash the community kernel v8 reboot into recovery, you'll be in red Cwm and can flash any rom you want without issues. You don't need to worry about changing the kernel cause most roms come with a kernel and will erase the community kernel v8. Why is this all so difficult?

Yes, I also though as you explained...
I have flashed GB based rom as I believe... never flashed to Froyo Rom.
So there should be no worries about bootloader or kernel.
But when I flashed BOINIX which is based on stock Kernel, things messed up with shown Rainbow affect and this was caused because I was in Froyo Kernel as I read.
Ok, so now I want to make really sure I am in GB bootloader.
Question is,
If flashed successfully to GB based Rom, bootloader is not to be concerned ??
Is there anyway to flash ONLY GB BOOTLOADER with ODIN to make sure I am on GB bootloader ?
Sorry again for dumb question again...

The bootloader are found within the kernel itself. So if you flashed a gb rom using a gb based kernel you are on gb bootloader and not froyo. Froyo stock based kernels may cause rainbow screens cause it won't work with gb roms this is why you are getting them.

Edit: community kernel v8 works for both froyo and gb. I flash it using sgs kernel flasher from the market and then I'm able to flash gb roms without getting bootloops and other issues. You can't flash a gb kernel over Froyo cause it will cause bootloops and it won't load and you'll have to gtg to stock again.

@Axiomkid,
Thanks for kind advice, now I know clearly,
1) Bootloader is in the kernel so unnecessary to flash separately.
2) Community kernel V8 works both for Gb and Froyo so it will be ok to flash Community kernel v8 to get Red CWM to re-flash other GB Rom from existing GB Rom.
Another question is,
If I want to flash Froyo Rom from existing GB Rom, what is the right way to do and if flash to Froyo Rom, I am on Froyo Bootloader, right ??
Thanks again & Merry Christmas !
If you wanna go back to Froyo use Odin and flash GTG ultimate unbrick to reformat the phone back to original Froyo.

It is very important if you install a rom and you don't like the kernel, sometimes it can be flashed with a different kernel but chances are it will screw your phone up. I tried using a different kernel on someone's rom and I had a tint of yellow on my screen. The Devs give us a kernel that works specifically for their rom and should not be replaced with another kernel unless told otherwise. People get errors cause of this and fill up a lot of forum space asking why their phone is screwed up. You just need to read before installing a rom. Each rom includes each own set of directions.
Most kernels allow overclocking and under volting your phone, and to be honest I don't mess with the settings so I don't end up with a burnt CPU

WRONG. DEAD WRONG.
The bootloader is a COMPLETELY different entity than the kernel.
Custom Gingerbread kernels (such as Infusion-GB and Daily Driver) have a workaround that allows operation with Froyo bootloaders.
However, working video acceleration in the latest leaks can only be obtained with a stock kernel from one of those leaks. If you flash a kernel and system image from a leak (such as UCKL2) and you get rainbows, you need to flash new bootloaders. If you don't get rainbows - you don't need new bootloaders and should avoid flashing them if at all possible.
(Basically, don't flash anything with boot.bin or sbl.bin using Heimdall or Odin once you're on GB bootloaders.)

Boy, I wish I read this yesterday.
I had struggled with this yesterday trying to install Bionix using heimdall.
Managd to boot loop in 3e blue recovery several times until I flashed bootloaders in heimdall to get back to a working stock.
Paxunion, if I may suggest, if you are on froyo,
I think it'll be easier for you to use Adam outler's heimdall uckj4 return to stock.
Put your phone in the download mode. Flash it once then flash it again with the bootloader checked.
Go to his second post and flash the kernel to get recovery and then you will have gb bootloader and be able to flash the ROM of your choice.
If you did want Bionix, very nice, use the heimdall package that Dani included in the bionix thread. You won't have to flash the kernel step if you use Dani's heimdall package.
Do not check the repartition or partition box with the bionix flash.

I found it was easiest to flash adam's uckj4. Then heimdall fronend your package.
Two steps. Simple. If i have some time, i might do a faq step guide thread in the q a
Hello!
I just got a pretty good deal on a stock Froyo Infuse 4G, so I bought it.
A little help please! I would love to have the stock ATT rom with the ability to overclock the processor. This is was I have done so far.. plrease don't be so hard on me since this is my first non-HTC device lol.
So the first thing I did was install a "leaked" Gingerbread ATT stock rom using a program called Odin. Then, I root it using that Superoneclick software... I actually clicked a million times instead trying to get it working because I had GingerBread instead of Froyo ... but somehow managed to do it, it is properly rooted and well tested. So! now with my rooted device, I downloaded Rom Manager from the market, flashed it succesfully (at least that's what the screen said)... and when trying to boot into CWM Recovery I got the following errors:
verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted.
I tried to flash it via RomManager several times, also did it via SD-Card renaming it to Update.zip and flashing it with the stock recovery.. same error. I searched for more information, someone in the forum said the reason could be an incompatible Kernel, so I flashed the Community V8 Kernel... and my device didn't boot past the Samsung screen... but somehow if I tried manaully to get into CWM recovery, it worked! (just the recovery). Flashed a custom rom that I didn't like... then suddenly I lost the CWM Recovery and cannot then bricked it and was unable to flash it again..
I managed to restore the phone to ATT factory condition using a guide here on Xda (this time the phone kept the leaked GB rom)... then rooted it again and haven't done anything else. Mu question is:
How can I keep this stock rom with the ability to overclock the processor? (flashing different kernels just makes it freeze on boot at Samsung logo).
Thanks for your help!::
here a good start by me:

Thanks, it is a useful link but I still don't find the answer to my question (or maybe I just don't undertand it).
I am beyond frustration... could anyone please tell me what to do to step by step to flash an overclockable Kernel keeping my GingerBread stock ATT rom? like if you were explaining it to a retarded person?
many thanks...

1. You need to restore you phone back to stock using gtg's unbrick or heimdall 1 click. (See my post)
2. ATT's GB latest is not rootable thru SOC. You can use odin to flash an insecure kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212485) but you will also need to update superuser binaries and busybox as well. Running the insecure kernel for OC, you will lose the video recorder and video player.
It doesn't sound like you can understand enough yet to do this.
3. If you want a stock att and rooted, go to the dev section:
check out zeus stock 5.2, vagabond or victory. These are GB stock base roms with root already done. There is also dman's deodexed, rooted gb uclb3 already with oc kernel...no video

Thanks for the info!
The first step has been done, restored the phone using Heimdall one click after bricking it, the phone was restored with a UCKJ4 2.36 GingerBread stock ATT rom (Kernel 2.6.35.7-I997uckj4-cl694350) and I am also rooted using SuperOneClick.
I don't fully understand step two, will try it once I get some more knowledge.
Question about the third step... does HDMI work in any of those custom stock roms? I use HDMI a lot.

My Vagabond ROM runs the stock kernel if you follow directions.
HDMI will work. Battery is excellent. Feel free to check it out
