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.

just wondering about the themes,pulldown menu,circle battery gauge,the blue alien contact and dial mods here.will they work or be kept working on the infuse if i flash to the GB beta rom(or future GB roms)?
will everything go back to stock form and whatever the ROM developers push with their ROM package?
im on the infused 1.5.3 with stock kernel. also wondering what kernel right now is best to match with my ROM?
thank you.

Most all of the user customizations will work with the Infuse v2 Beta
just like with the Infuse 1.53 but like any other customizations you will need to re-apply themes, wallpapers and any other stuff you have customized.
If you flash any custom roms at all you will not get the OTA GB or any other updates from AT&T unless you go back and reflash the Froyo stock rom first.
Hope this helps
Good luck!

Are oyu sure about that? The Gingerbread framework has probably changed in such a manner that themes for Froyo will break on GB.

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.

If u get a loop..which happened to me hit three button recovery and factory reset...u should be good, then kj1 kernel from drhonk to root...if u wish.

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.
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 don't think you can anless you get back to stock with odin or CWM. But i maybe wrong.
Easiest and best way (if the rom you're on has an update file or "non-wipe") ................just flash it.
You'll be back to the way the rom originally is without any changes to data

huh? this doesn't make any sense. If u want custom roms but stock theme, I recommend u stick with romracer alien builds (both ics and gb), as well as anything by mhx (superlite 3.1 is gb, 5.1 is ics). They both tend to stay away from theming.
Seancreamz makes roms, and the whole point behind his are to have as close to aosp ics look as possible. if u want stock look, ur using the wrong rom
my bad, i read it wrong, i thought he meant reverting back to the roms stock look after flashing a theme
Hi
I've been searching the net for a custom ICS or JB rom for my Rogers Infuse but I couldn't find anything. All what I've found are roms installed using CWM not Odin and from what I've understood I can't install CWM. Is it possible to have your help guys to find this ROM?
Thanks.
Ics and jb roms also work with rogers infuse.
You should be able to install cwm on your phone, probably by flashing a custom kernel.
I'll see if I can find anything and also encourage you to search around about that.

Here are some instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20140197&postcount=3
That should give you cwm and allow you to flash ics or jb roms.

Now I have CWM, can I install any ICS or JB rom for Infuse or should I watch also if the kernel is the same?
Great!
Yes, you should be able to flash any rom now.
Be sure to follow the instructions. You can use my how to flash jb guide, linked in my sig.

the roms will include kernels, don't mix kernels. the aosp dev scene changes by the week (sometimes day) on the infuse as we try to catch up to the galaxy s' level(they had a lot of headway and a ton more highly experienced developers). so a kernel for a rom today might only partially work with a rom from two weeks ago..
only change the kernel if the rom developer has an alternative kernel such as oc/uv or something....
