the short answer is NO the long answer is not in a hundred years!
Good luck, sell it on eBay you can get between $100-$200 for it if the fone is good shape all in one piece!!!

connexion has a riffbox, this is how the firmware is installed at the factory. he wants this so he can provide a service for us. so the answer is 100% yes. don't speak so fast. Samsung also may have a way to repair bootloaders throught the USB, Adam outlet has been researching ways to do this and might be close.
connexion I'm on my phone so it is tedious to search and provide a link, but there was a untested bootloader dump in lost1's Odin package, the pit doesn't work with that one.
also gtg and other are trying to get Rogers bootloaders but without your service it is getting hard to get a tester, not sure if they got a good dump yet. thank you for your interest. i hope you are successful in finding what You need.

Sorry about that, I was under the impression that he is trying to fix his bootloader, perhaps I did not read his post properly

he will fix bootloaders soon, the riffbox means opening up the phone and flashing directly to the board. and that means the ability to test gb bootloader dumps in confidence! hopefully we will have a tested working gb bootloader dump before then but if not connexion will be a good person to be involved.
but i understand that you may have thought he was flashing with Odin. still bootloaders are needed to use the pit file if used with heimdall, little known fact but i didn't think the bootloader request would be weird no matter who it is. i try to assume the poster has the knowledge unless it is otherwise apparent that they don't.
connexion - try to catch up with gtg465x or LinuxBozo on IRC, #infuse4g on freenode. They can hook you up.
BTW, due to troll problems webchat users are currently banned, you need to use a real client.
Thanks guys ill give one of hem a shot. Currently I can do the Captivate, Vibrant, i9000, TAB 7", Nexus S and Epic aand many many more. The Infuse has very similar hardware. If I can map the pinouts I may be able to connect and re-write a Captivate bootloader which COULD allow download mode and allow me to flash the correct ones. If that won't work but I can still connect via JTAG I can still just back up a working Infuse to create my own bootloaders. This is worlds first stuff we are talking about and I'm trying to get you guys in on a solution for a hard brick...

BTW, do you know of anyone who has done work with using OpenOCD and FT2232-based JTAG dongles instead of the RIFF box?
If I can find a candidate "guinea pig" device (even a non-Infuse similar to ours) cheaply enough I may try getting the OpenOCD + FT2232 combo going with a Bus Blaster v2.
Which reminds me - What's the target Vref voltage for Samsung's JTAG port? Bus Blaster v2 can go down to 1.2 volts.
I've never tried using any other JTAG solution. I write to i897 with a JTAG Target Voltage of 2.8V...
Has anyone tested those bootloaders and actually flashed them? They appear to be legit after looking at them with a hex editor. If they are legit then Infuse bootloaders are NOT compatible with i897, T959 or i9000 bootloaders as both sets of those bootloaders for Rogers and ATT hard bricked my test Vibrant. Still does not mean I'm out of options. If I can connect to an Infuse via JTAG, I can write a script and inject my own bootloaders that way most likely.
Here's the real sticking point. We've tried heimdall and odin to flash bootloaders, and they either error out on flash, or just don't take at all. We're guessing there is some sort of signature checking, or the infuse has some other way of flashing bootloaders correctly. No one really has had time to sit down and figure it out completely.
Android 2.3 Software Number EH17 From USCC... Its posted on their site
uscellular.com/androidupgrades
Not working for some reason.....
I have tried to update...but Kies mini is telling me I have the latest version lol
You can take it to a store tech center and have them reflash your phone with it if mini kies isn't working.
Mini kies has been a flaming hot mess more often than not with these updates, so a full reflash at the store is probably not a bad idea anyway.
Strange....Its been taken down!

i am not sure whats going on guys but the Mez is dead on XDA,

i dont like it, i much prefer XDA but there was already this morning a rooted stock EH09 plus the full stock EH09
both for odin.
already flashed the stock unrooted and and booting into the stock rooted now.
sorry guys but rootzwiki has got a huge jump on this.
not even our own dev section here has anything new about EH09, and hasnt had any firmware/rom updates in weeks...

Bottom line: Our developers and users have moved to Rootzwiki. Its still the same users and developers that were once here; same usernames and everything. Everyone's there. Just a new location (and new management).
Whats done is done; the mass exodus has occurred and it can't be changed. So lets quit talking about it. Get on the Rootzwiki boat or stay in ghost town. Your choice.

Just upgraded without kies.
No kies on my Samsung N150 Plus netbook, just installed USCC_I500_EH09_SimpleDL from the US Cellular android upgrade section. Followed instructions (except for battery life, performed this with 81%) phone rebooted, all apps intact including acircuitboard live wallpaper, root apps, contacts, calender, etc...., EXCEPT ROOT ACCESS! Super User gone baby, verified with root check app. guess I'll give GingerBreak a try this weekend, heck I may even try SuperOneClick again to see what happens. Here's a trick for you warranty voider freaker outers, if you brick it, just tell your provider you lost the phone and pay the $50 or whatever dollar insurance claim and get a new GXS.
Obviously no root access, it's a stock official rom.

Welllll.... coming from the straight up vibrant, when the bootloader wasn't correct, you'd get rainbows. Idk if this is the actual term or what not, but how can i get the gingerbread bootloaders for this phone? i tried using hemidall and almost perma-bricked my phone.

Look in the Bible in the Dev section for Chadster's KG4 leak which is flashed with ODIN. It was the first leak with the correct bootloaders. Once you have that & if you want stock, you can ODIN Raver's KJ6 Official release.
I'm sure there are other ROMs out there with the right bootloaders and there are quite a few threads about them but this is what always worked for me.
Best of luck.
Here's also a nice video guide to follow:

It depends, are you using 2.2.1 or 2.3.6? Best bet to get started is the hemidall kj6. Find it in our development section.

It's important to make sure that if you want to go to gingerbread from froyo, that you have the correct bootloaders installed. Don't use Rom Manager. Period. Don't Install CWM from Rom Manager. There is a sticky about it, but everyone seems to ignore it.
This is the thread I have used a few times, and it will get you to Gingerbread with CWM which will allow you to install other gingerbread roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
After that you can flash the lagfix 2.3.6 KJ6 Kernel (which is great):

Each Rom has special instructions- Ravers require specific mounts for example, which can be found under Mounts and Storage in CWM. Good Luck
Thank you so much i am familiar with odin so thats the program ill stick with.

Yes, you can. However, you have to be careful. If you're going from Froyo to GB (and I think vice-versa) you have to insure the ROM you're flashing has the right boot loaders. Else you could end up with the infamous "rainbow screen" or stuck in a boot loop.
But thats fixable correct?.....
What im getting at .....is im guessin this phone is near unbrickable like the vibrant.....correct?
You can break any phone. Some errors may delete your CWM, which means that you will have to re-flash from Odin, or a similar program. However, if you are careful, and read every instruction properly, then you should be fine. It seems ridiculous at first, especially coming from a Nexus One, but it honestly is a really simple process.
Ok cool i was just checkin to make sure my suspicions were correct
Ok now one more question.....is there no odin flashable rooted 2.3.6? or am i just not finding it?
Cuz now im on 2.3.6 stock unrooted....and id like to sell it rooted as an added bonus to whoever buys it.
Im thinking i want to go back to the vibrant 3g....
2 months and im due to upgrade

Ok...
All I wanted to do was flash a custom rom on my Rogers I727R so I could get on my laptops adhoc network.
FoxHound_Otacon_V1_LP4_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS.zip Seemed to be the right choice.
Rooted phone fine, but couldn't seem to get into cwg with the button combonation.
Heard of Rom Manager so ran that, it began flashing the new rom...
The linux text was in italian for some reason, and then I read errors regarding permissions?
Rebooted phone. MF Bricked.
Bought a usb jig, took about two weeks to arrive, followed the jig instructions, still cant get the phone to turn on.
Used a multimeter to check battery voltage, it's reading 3.665v, should be enough?
Any ideas? Besides having Rogers send it back to Samsung and wait 3 weeks, do I have any other options? Cheers.... ...
Nope but where did you get that rom is is a 727 or 989 rom

What'll happen if Samsung gets ahold of it? Will they just send it back and say sol?
Sgs2 skyrocket very different then sgs2
rogers dont send your phone to samsung and make you wait 3 weeks, they send you a refurbished GS2 and a return box to put your broken phone and return it back to them. I've do this many times over the past 5 years ive been with them and they never made me wait for any repair
Man, I feel sorry for you. . However, it is not like it is "fried" or anything. A "repair" service is needed to reload the firmware etc.
EDIT: Yeah, try what polish_pat says. TELL THEM YOU TRIED AN OTA SOFTWARE UPDATE, and then the phone just died.
BUT, where the heck did you get the ROM from. Seriously, how could you even THINK of flashing something you had no clue about.
With all respect man, this is a thread all newbies should read. Even when I myself flash ANYTHING I am so tense, even after reading till I get a headache.
Contact adam outler on the forums here. Search for user "Adam Outler". PM him. He will ask you t mail your phone. He is a king in repairs. He has all kinds of hardware tools, and he won't gyp you with exorbitant prices.
Good luck !!
I thought I727r and I9100 were the same thing...argh..
I'll try rogers then on Tuesday and update.
If someone can someone point me to a good rom for I727r so I can get adhoc going when I get my phone back I'd really appreciate it, I really need wifi and adhoc is my only option where I'm located.
Got the rom from galaxys2root.com, didn't realize it wssnt for I727R.

Actually what I read here was:
"NOTE: Rogers users double check to make sure each thread you are reading is compatible with your S2 LTE (I727R) before taking action! As a general tip, the ICS leak Odin TAR files are incompatible with the Rogers S2 LTE."
Not the same thing as Odin not working on Rogers' phones.
