Sorry for your woes. Hope u get things worked out. If you do get things worked out wait until one of the devs fixes this issue. I'm sure well see a deodexed version soon, I hope.

I love it, downloading right now. Lets see how our phone files
This is huge. Has anyone rooted this yet? That's the question. Superoneclick doesn't seem to do the trick.

You can odin a ROM that's gotten rooted so you can use quickreboot or adb to get into recovery mode, then you can use CWM from there if you had it installed already. I just had to flash an old rooted ROM to be able to get to recover my CWM backup.

Thanks will update original post
Ah man I just got my phone to my liking lol.
I think I'll wait a bit though as this is almost like a KC1 for froyo. Leaked build, so there will probably be a final build avail via OTA and Kies.
nothing better to do might as well flash and play lol worse comes to worse can always odin back and recover with clockwork
super!
flashing rite now. let you guys know how it goes later.
Just curious ....Anyone else not able to get into download mode or stock recovery via ANY METHOD ?

That would be no bueno. Definitely interested to hear if you can get into Download mode, recovery not as much. DL at least you have ODIN.
^^uh oh

I think on the galaxy s phones they couldn't get into recovery or dl mode unless they flashed the gingerbread boot loader
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Just flashed with no problem. Everything seems to work fine. I dont see much changes just some of the menu settings. Phone seems to run smooth. Gonna use it for a bit and let you guys know.
Thanksssssssssssssssss!!!
To going to download mode first you must open ODIN. Assume your phone is off. Then press and hold the volume + and - then plug the USB to your PC. You should see a BIG yellow triangle on the phone said Download mode. Hope this helps.
Keymapping is changed in GB. Not familiar with your phone nut on the original Vibrant GB bootloaders now require one volume key instead of two.
OK I'm in front of the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my Android life. Turns out I got my Infuse 4G and turn it back to stock AT&T Gingerbread 2.3.6 using Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3, and in the middle of process it seems my USB port disconnected my phone and I though I would see a brick, but thank God it was not that bad (I thought). I change the USB port and put my Infuse in download mode again, passed the tool again and everything went like heaven (again: I thought). I got my stock AT&T Gingerbread 2.3.6, but I never seen CWM anymore, I just can't because the weirdest screen I've ever seen (you'll see).
I thought my phone was unrooted, so I maded my way straight to SuperOneClick v2.3.3 and begin the simplest process. Well... it was unable to root my phone and believe me, it's not ADB problems, I know it because I can install apps through Android Commander without any problem... so that's the first weird thing I have here.
Until that moment I thought my phone was bad-flashed or something, so I tried with another tool, the mythic Odin with h8rift's [UCKD5] Odin - Stock (Root+3e) and with my device in download mode it never shown itself as COM## on Odin (required to start the process), however I clicked on PDA button, selected the .tar.md5 file and start the process that never started (logically).
So right now I have no idea what to do or where to go.
I'm apologize if I explain every little detail, the thing is that most of the time one get answers starting with "You did this?" "Have you tried that?" I all I want is to avoid that. For example, I have USB debugging, ok? Another thing someone could ask.
Please help me guys. I madded a video so you can see what happens when I try to enter CWM. Even when my phone starts, during AT&T logo screen flashes with a strange distortion. I madded this video and post it to YouTube so you can see what is hard for me to explain.
Please HELP!
I need anything that from scratch clean everything and put my phone shiny.
Best regards.
You have "rainbows" because you don't have Gingerbread bootloaders.
You need to use odin a GB leak or Heimdall a GB leak to correct the problem.
Your initial failed flash on heimdall was due to a bad connection -usb data cord or computer usb port.

There are some links on my signature line, including the superthread.
If reading right, you are on uclb3 now. Soc can't root that. I don't think anything can. You have to load another kernel. Like qkster said see his sig. I used both uclb3 packages two night ago. Both work.
(thanks qk)

Well that is really a super thread... right now I have no idea what to do, where to go. Please can anyone tell me which option take in order to disappear this "rainbows", root my Infuse and finally can install whatever ROM I want?
Best regards.
EDIT: OK I've installed (again) Heimdall UCLB3 2.3.6 but with the Flash Bootloader box checked and everything goes like heaven, NO MORE RAINBOWS However I can't root it with SuperOneClick v2.3.3, why is that? How can I root it?
Best regards.
I see you have not read either the original post

there clearly says that the only way to root in 2.3.6 is by flashing DD Entropy512's kernel.

Why is it that you can go from froyo stock rooted with cwm recovery straight to flashing zeus for example? What step added the gingerbread bootloaders? Just trying to learn myself!

from froyo with recovery, you can flash any rom. bypassing the bootloader.
a lot of people do this w/o prob until they run into recovery issue.
i'm not sure re: the exact architecture why this occurs.
the kernel gurus can tell you more.
if you use odin, and install one the gb leaks, you will have that BL, until you do a repartition with gtg's ultimate unbrick which brings you back to froyo. I think you will lose the bl's.
In good practice, I use the 1click heimdall w/ repartition - these are packaged with "official" GB leaks. imho, i believe they are better suited for a base to get to your custom GB rom.
if you're running infused 1.6, there is no needed 'cause it's froyo.
no rainbows there
edit: to each his/her own i guess. the reason why gtg's "unbrick" seems like a life saver is due to repartition with PIT files image.
the heimdall 1 click does the same thing but takes the guess work out from the inexperience user.
I tried going back to gingerbread using Heimdall 1 click and it gives me a kernel error and failed. Now phone won't boot past the rogers logo. Any suggestions? No samsung screen. No green battery indicator when plugged in. Heimdall does detect the phone, and I've tried all USB ports and cords at my disposal. I use a mac so no access to odin. This is the first brick I haven't been able to get myself out of. Any help you would be appreciated
I am a gt i9000 owner, but can you get into download mode?

If you can get download mode, then flash a gingerbread stock rom, even if it means you will lose root still do it, then flash a new rom of your choice, if you can get into download mode then you haven't got a brick

I can get into download mode.heimdall detects my phone. I tried both qksters and adam outlers 1 click. neither would take. If I upgrade heimdall version (as it tells me its out of date) it wont get through the initial connection to the phone. if I use with out upgrade it continues to fail on kernel download.
This is my second brick (first one was when trying to root it on my mac) First brick was fixed through odin at my work. Unfortunately I don't want to wait till monday to have a functioning phone

Hummmm..ok
Let's step back here does out prompt you for drivers?
....you might have to make a stop at your office..
Try different USB ports, I used heimdall yesterday to go back to gingerbread (so I could get the boot loaders) and I had the same problem as you, I finally got it to work with a different USB port and even then it kept failing...but I just kept trying and eventually it went through
(Pull battery, place battery back in, hold volume up and down, plug USB in-should put you in download mode...even if you can't see anything on your screen you can still enter download mode)

DOesnt prompt me for drivers. It detects my phone and says ready to flash. I see the download mode screen. so its not completey screwed. Just can't get past the rogers logo.. I only have two USB on my macbook.. tried both quite a few times guess i'll mess with it some more. see if I can get it going. Thanks for the tips. ANy others ideas would also be appreciated
Alright, here it is:
I encountered the same problems yesterday, heimdall doesn't work when flashing back to stock from ics, from what I've found, you must use gtg's ultimate unbrick, the pit repartitions everything and also resets your binary counter (cha-ching! ). Once completed, your phone will reboot and be stuck at "...installing default apk files..." for a few minutes, don't panic, let it run its course. From there on, you can do the usual root/flash cwm deal. .

Agreed. On my desktop (quad core 6 gb ram, watercooled blablablabl) can't run heimdal nor Odin to save its life.
My netbook (single core atom) took me back from CM9 with Odin like it was nothing.
My 7 year old laptop (running Ubuntu) works great using Heimdal (just run the .jar file as an executable)

I've flashed lots of roms and never had any issues. Also looked through the forum and know the basics about getting back to stock. I'm no expert, but I have a decent idea what I'm doing. I do appreciate a forum you can ask questions though and have people help out when your stumped. I did what i could from the tools I have at my disposal here, and ran into some problems. I'm not yelling SOS, just asking for some tips as what I have tried hasn't worked. All the same I do appreciate everyones opinions and help they provide. THat's what makes this forum great.
why would you need to heimdall if you are on a rogers infuse? Isn't that for AT&T phones only?

And you're sure you're in Download mode, and Heimdall shows the device as connected?
The picture shows it in download mode and some progress on the screen..
I've had a few issues like that. I've always used Odin to jump back to froyo with the older GTG files..
Once back to Froyo, I've used SOC to quick root, copied over the modified recovery file and went from there..

I rooted and put a octane 2.x rom on her phone 9 months ago. Today she said everything started acting up. Radio quit, would not connect. All the apps force closed. She kept getting an error saying GoLauncher needs to be re-installed so she went back to the ics launcher that comes with the room. No apps would work at all.
I came home and booted into recovery (Clockwork) and tried to do a restore. Now it's stuck at the boot up screen. I've done a battery pull and it still does it. This is not my phone and I'm not well versed with it. It took me 11 hours root/rom it last June.
I do not know adb shell. I tried, but I just don't think I have a strong enough computer background. I've rooted my old Thunderbolt, my Transformer Prime and her phone.
If I could get to recover I'd do a wipe and re-install the rom. I still have Heimdall, but I do not remember how to use it. I bricked it when I rooted it the first time, that's why it took so long.
I will be searching while this thread is up. She needs her phone ASAP b/c she interviewed for a job today and she's expecting/hoping for a call.

Is there an option to NOT go back to factory un rooted? It took me so much time to root it, I don't want it to all be a waste. Stock rooted would be fine.
There is a heimdall version that will get you rooted and factory. Flash that version. That version was by eollie, in the second post, second link. Or you can flash the Heimdall stock rom and later flash with Heimdall AntonX kernel to get it rooted. All in the link above, so read it all the way down.
