Installation:​If you're already on Gingerbread bootloaders (ex. a UCLB3-based ROM; Rogers bootloaders seem to to work as well), jt's installation instructions should work without incident.​
Heimdall
Backup everything! (perform a nandroid backup from CWM at least)
Copy over the CM9 ROM and gapps onto your sdcard
Run the Heimdall One-click package (you may have to setup the USB driver) and place your phone into Download Mode
Pull out the battery, put it back in, and hold the two volume keys while inserting the USB cable (don't press the power button)​
Make sure the Device Status says "Connected"
Reboot and enter the ICS CWM recovery by holding down power and the volume rockers from a powered off state
Ensure that it's the blue v5.5.0.4 recovery​
Wipe data/factory reset and format /system under mounts and storage
Install zip from sdcard and flash the CM9 ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot and enjoy the glorious CM9 boot animation
Odin
Backup everything! (perform a nandroid backup from CWM at least)
Copy over the CM9 ROM and gapps onto your sdcard
Install the Samsung USB drivers or the full Kies installation
Unzip Odin3-v1.85.zip and SGH-I997_I997UCLB3_UC_ATT.rar
Take note of the file I997UCLB3-Homebinary.tar.md5​
Run Odin3 v1.85.exe and place your phone into Download Mode
Pull out the battery, put it back in, and hold the two volume keys while inserting the USB cable (don't press the power button)​
Check that the message box in Odin says "Added!!"
If it doesn't, reinstall the USB drivers​
Select PDA and choose the I997UCLB3-Homebinary.tar.md5 file you unzipped a while ago
Hit start and wait for your device to reboot into the stock 3e recovery; let it finish the operations
Put your phone back into Download Mode; in Odin, select PDA and choose the ICS recovery file, infuseICSrecovery.tar, then hit start
Reboot and enter the ICS CWM recovery by holding down power and the volume rockers from a powered off state
Ensure that it's the blue v5.5.0.4 recovery​
Wipe data/factory reset and format /system under mounts and storage
Install zip from sdcard and flash the CM9 ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot and enjoy the glorious CM9 boot animation

If people can follow this they should not have rainbows at all. This is a very easy guide so there should not be any problems. I stay on lb3 based roms so this is what i would use if i needed to. Thanks for posting this for everyone. Hopefully there won't be to many with issues.

Heimdall would have been easier...you just downloadit, check flash boot loaders, click flash and wait till it finishes...
Still good guide

qkster's Heimdall one-click takes 4 hours for me to download (~15kB/s ); it was faster for me to do it through Odin. I'll add a method for Heimdall soon.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was about to make this
was getting a littler annoyed with the same Qs over and over again lol
but you should include Heimdall as an option since its just one click and it has
the bootloader option
include this video in the bigenning too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
lol but good guide nonetheless

1) You should make it clear that bootloaders should ONLY be flashed if the user experiences rainbows in recovery. Unnecessary bootloader flashes should be avoided.
2) You can flash just the bootloaders without flashing the whole damn UCLB3 release

Stuck in recovery boot loop. After flashing UCLB3 through odin it shows a few errors. Tried flashing twice so far with no luck.
Using entropy's file got me into cm9.

Heimdall one-click including UCLB3 bootloaders and jt1134's ICS recovery image:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zc1btl2cg4f5wg2
I flashed it on top of my current ICS configuration and it still works fine. Any feedback from GB or Froyo users would be appreciated. You still have to flash the ICS system ROM and gapps over it.

Whats wrong with rogers bootloaders? Ive never had to flash bootloaders and ive never had rainbow issues.

I found a very nice video on Heimdall. I've never had to use Odin or Heimdall so I was hesitant, this makes it look a lot easier.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TgyaUbjcm4

I did the ODIN one as per OP and it works like a charm. I now have CM9 on my Infuse!!!

Nothing at all. That's why I said that people should only flash BLs if they have rainbows in recovery.
In fact you guys are lucky - I believe you have Gingerbread bootloaders without the infamous flash counter. It sucks that dumped bootloaders never seemed to want to flash.

@threi: I was working under the assumption that AT&T GB bootloaders were preferred, since jt used the AT&T kernel to develop the ROM. It might actually be a better solution to use an older GB bootloader because you don't have the Download Mode flash counter and the downgrade process isn't as tricky (from what I hear). Either way, I changed the OP, thanks for the heads up

stuck
i have an infuse sghi997 and im trying to get cm9 working, so far i have flashed cm9 threw cwm, cm9 booted fine, back to cwm flash gapps, boot into recovery every time, try wipe data/cache restore backup, no good, flash with odin to 2.3.6 deodexed with red cwm voodoo lagfix and can restore backup fine, ok maybe i was on 2.2 bootloaders, but the 2.3.6 rom would bump me to gb bootloaders, so i try cm9 once agian, boots fine, flash gapps and loop agian, have to odin back, am i missing something?

[ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root and CWM recovery option - Infuse 4g

[ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root and CWM recovery option - Infuse 4g
ABOUT
--------------
These Odin flashable tar.md5 packages contain the stock AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread release for the Samsung Infuse 4G with root added.
For those who are interested, there are also rooted options below that have busybox and are deodexed and zipaligned. An option is also provided below that includes CWM recovery and a few extras.
These rooted Odin packages do not contain bootloaders. Have rainbow distortion and want GB bootloaders to fix that? See question 1.) in the FAQ below for an explanation, warning, and link to a separate package that contains and flashes Gingerbread bootloaders.
The first two versions below use the stock UCLB3 kernel and have stock recovery. The third option below uses Entropy's Daily Driver (April 5th, 2012 test kernel with working MHL HDMI out), and includes red CWM recovery. For more information about Entropy512's kernel, go HERE.
INSTALL
--------------
1.) Download Odin from HERE and extract the program from the .zip file.
2.) Download the version you want. Use a program like 7zip to extract the Odin flashable tar.md5 from the .rar file.:
**** OPTION A ****

Want to try some different kernels, like Zen Arcade's Infusion-Z? Odin kernel packages are HERE.
3.) Install Samsung Kies to install the latest Samsung USB drivers. This can be found HERE.
Reboot PC. Then, attach phone via USB, and allow drivers to install.
4.) In recovery, wipe all user data and wipe all cache data, BEFORE flashing. If you don't do this, I can't guarantee that your phone won't loop at the AT&T boot animation, or that you won't have other issues.
Put phone in Recovery Mode (Turn phone off, disconnect USB cable, hold power button and both volume buttons, release power button when Samsung logo appears, continue to hold volume buttons until recovery screen appears.). In recovery, choose and follow prompts for options to wipe user data and to wipe cache data.
5.) Place phone in Download Mode (Remove battery, hold down both volume buttons, replace battery, attach USB cable, and then continue to hold volume buttons until the phone enters Download Mode.).
6.) With phone in Download Mode, open the Odin exe. In Odin, if the phone is recognized, the window under ID:COM will turn yellow.
7.) In Odin, click on "PDA" and browse to the tar.md5.
8.) Select the tar.md5. Make sure it shows up in the PDA window, and then click on Start. Do not power off or disconnect the phone while Odin flashes the package and reboots the phone.
9.) You're finished. You now have stock AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread (UCLB3) with root.
NOTES
----------------
a.) If you skipped step 4.) and your phone boot loops at the AT&T boot animation, hold down the power button and both volume buttons until you enter recovery. In recovery, wipe all user data and wipe all cache data. Reboot and the phone will boot into rooted 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
b.) If everything has been done correctly, the Setup Wizard will appear when you first boot Gingerbread. If the phone first boots into Gingerbread, and you don't get the Setup Wizard, go to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset and choose "Reset Phone".
FAQ
-----------------
1.) I have rainbow distortion in recovery or in the boot animation. How can I get Gingerbread bootloaders to fix this?:
You can download THIS .rar file, extract using 7zip, and flash the tar.md5 package in Odin (use the pda slot). Flashing Gingerbread bootloaders will correct rainbow distortion in recovery and in the boot animation. Only flash these if you are having issues with rainbow distortion, and only if you have had success flashing other, less dangerous items in Odin. If something happens to cause a flash of these bootloaders to fail, then you run the risk of bricking your phone. See THIS post and THIS post for more of an explanation of why bootloaders weren't included in the rooted UCLB3 Odin packages.
2.) Isn't there a way to root stock UCLB3 Gingerbread without flashing these Odin packages?:
Yes. See THIS how-to thread that I put together for an explanation of how to root stock UCLB3.
3.) How do I get CWM recovery if I flashed a version with the stock kernel?:
If you didn't flash Option C with CWM recovery already included, you can flash a custom kernel that includes CWM recovery by using SGS Kernel Flasher on the phone. Find and install SGS Kernel Flasher in Android Market / Google Play Store. Then, place the zImage of a compatible custom kernel that includes CWM recovery on your internal sdcard, and flash using SGS Kernel Flasher. Entropy's Daily Driver, includes red CWM recovery, and can be found HERE.
4.) My phone is displaying something that looks like this: Phone-!-PC. What is this, and can I use these Odin packages from here?
That is still download mode. If you reach that screen, a flash has been interrupted or has failed, and you are in a type of backup download mode. Reset Odin, and start over with your flash. These packages will flash in this mode, just as they will in regular download mode.

Everyone in the Infuse 4g XDA forum
Hope this helps someone out. Please use this thread for any questions or comments about using the Odin packages. It's okay to ask UCLB3 related questions here also, but remember, I didn't create the firmware. That one is on Samsung / AT&T, and these are just packages provided to make it easier to get root and /or CWM recovery with that firmware.

Good Job, bro.

Very nice. Thanks

Using this for a day. And I like it very much. All functionas that I need is working perfectly for now. With root I can customize stock as I want. Thanks. As for me this is best ROM out here!

Is there any interest in a deodexed version also in this format?

Yes there is. The deodexed version has a lot less lag. I ran the leak for about a month when it was released and then i flashed the deodexed version and you can tell a big difference.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

Yeah, when I was using UCLB3 (on CM9 now), I had it deodexed and preferred it that way.
When I get home from work, I'll make and upload a deodexed version in this format.

Cant tell about this for sure. I've used only UCLB3 stock and [UCBL3] [Dev]astation [2.3.6]. First is good and have many usefull functions and they are working fine (fast GPS, Car Holder, correct bluetoth and many other). Second one is a lot faster but not all functions are working, GPS is realy slow also stability is not so great for me. Right now current your ROM is good for me becouse it has thing that I needed being on UCLB3 - ROOT. If deodexed version will add speed and will not make this ROM less stable, than people will love it. Me for sure =)

This will just optimize system apps and framework stuff that depends on .odex files, and will make it easier to mod system and framework files. Nothing major; everything will still work like stock. I'll keep the stock version available also.

Correct. This package uses the stock kernel. That being said is there any interest also in another version w/ Entropy's Daily Driver
and CWM recovery in this format? I'll have to get Entropy's permission, but can do that also.

I was curious, mostly.
2 wks ago, I had put together a method to root the UCLB3 when we saw a spike in how to root this thing in the Q/A everyday. It consisted of a cwm-flashable that installed busybox and superuser, then deleted most ATT bloats. And then installed google talk video from the G-Nex.
To get to cwm, I had a Heimdall-1-click of Entropy's DD kernel. I suppose any GB insecure kernel would work too. Entropy's latest would be nice because it would also have HDMI and CWM recovery.
After the kernel flash, you can boot into recovery and flash the cwm package.
And then UCLB3 would be "rooted", busybox and SuperUser.apk. Plus some bonuses (Gtalk, Gvoice, Terminal Emulator and minus ATT bloats. It was painful but I left Facebook and a few others in place)
Once you started with the Tar for Odin, I made a Heimdall-1-click for this rooted ROM as well. What was odd was that I had corrected the vold.fstab for the external sdcard access, before copying over the factory.rfs.
After the package was put together, the vold.fstab reverted back to mm2 instead of mm1 for the stock kernel.
Odd...
I didn't know if that happened to you or not.
Anyway, imo, I don't think you need to worry about another version with Entropy'd DD, I think most users should be able to use SGS-Kernel flasher to get to cwm.
About the deodex aspect, dman already made up a deodex version...I thought it was odd that others didn't use it. It may also be redundant too, but that's just my opinion.
I think the Odex apk do not make dalvik caches. Thereby, have a fast boot time and less chance of cache corruption. I've been using the odex rooted version with the stock kernel, and have noted an initial lag, but after leaving the phone alone for 20 minutes, it is pretty responsive and snappy.
This stock rom is missing Lidroid's, Battery mod, and a few other things..but then, after you add those, lol..we are running vagabond, spartan, pharmnerd midagu's etc...
If anyone wants a heimdall 1 click...

Odin ftw .

Yeah, I get that great options have already been presented to do all of this. Didn't mean to step on any toes.
Some posters were asking for an Odin option, so I made one. I personally prefer Heimdall myself, but maybe Odin is easier for some.
This is mainly just another tool to get rooted stock UCLB3. Hopefully it helps some.
When I get home, I'll still do a deodexed version, but agree that it's easy enough to use SGS Kernel Flasher to get CWM recovery.

qkster, that didn't happen to me when I made this package. But, that is probably because of the process I used to get the factoryfs.rfs. I got everything exactly how I wanted on the phone, including setting up vold.fstab after switching kernels back and forth during the root process, and then I did a system dump using dd on the phone after doing a factory reset.

INSTALL
------------------------
1.) Download and extract the desired kernel package from the section above.
2.) If needed, download the Odin exe HERE.
3.) If needed, install the latest Samsung USB drivers. You can get these by installing Samsung Kies, which can be found HERE.
4.) Place phone in download mode.
5.) Open the Odin exe; if your phone is recognized, the window under ID:COM will turn yellow.
6.) In Odin, click on "PDA" and browse to the tar.md5.
7.) Select the tar.md5. Make sure it shows up in the PDA window, and then click on Start. Do not power off or disconnect the phone while Odin flashes the package and reboots the phone.
8.) You're finished. If the progress window in Odin is green and reads "PASS!", then you have successfully flashed the kernel / recovery package.
FAQ
------------------------
1.) I flashed the stock UCLB3 kernel and now I can't access my external sd card. How can I fix this?
In UCLB3 based roms, if you flash the stock UCLB3 kernel after using a custom kernel, you will most likely have trouble seeing your external sdcard. To fix this, use Root Explorer (or a similar app) to edit /system/etc/vold.fstab. In Root Explorer, browse to /system/etc and choose "Mount R/W" to gain write permission to the directory. Open vold.fstab in the built in text editor. Change the mmc2 in the last line to mmc1. Save and exit. Reboot, and you will regain use of your external sd card.

We're all set!
Thanks, Jesse.
Note to any user:
If you are on a GB ROM and lost recovery or in a boot loop, one attempt would be to flash just the GB kernel to get back into CWM recovery. You may not need to flash the entire ROM.
Likewise, if you are on a ICS CM9 ROM and lost recovery or in boot loop, you can also try to flash just the ICS kernel to get back to CWM recovery.
If you can't use Odin, use the Heimdall's. If you can't use the Heimdalls, use the Odin.
edit: (after thoughts for new users)
Also: If you are on any stock GB build and flash one of the GB kernels, you don't need to perform any superoneclick, modded 3e etc. You can proceed directly into CWM recovery and flash with you want. If you want only root, check out jscott's root thread or my root thread.

check my sig. Kernel thread has Xda direct download of the cwm flash, from which the kernel can be extracted and flashed with sgs kernel flasher.
You can do this once you have a non stock kernel in place.

Frustrated
Somebody please help me. I put my wife's infuse back to stock (UCLB3) First I couldn't root it. Then I flashed the stock rooted with Odin. I proceded to install CWM with the 3e file, and ROM Manager. That didn't work. I also tried to flash this kernel (UCLB3) to see if it would give me CWM... Nothing! I am close to loosing my mind. I could do this **** all day long on my Epic 4G but for some reason this phone is kicking my ass.
One thing I'd like to point out is when i power down my phone and try to go into recovery the option to "reinstall packages" does not show. That is the only thing different i've noticed than all the videos and tuturials I found on the thread. Somebody please help me.

Okay, where you lose me is "the 3e file and ROM Manager." Sounds like you're not following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27283140&postcount=1
Make sure, first of all, that you're flashing this one, especially if you're flashing back from CM10. Flash in Odin following jscott30's instructions to the letter. To add CWM, download one of those kernels. Open up the zip file and pull out the zimage and put it on your sdcard (the internal one). Download SGS Kernel Flasher. In SGS Kernel Flasher, choose to flash the zimage you just put on your phone. It will ask to reboot. Reboot and Bob's you're uncle! You have CWM.
Finally, I feel bad for posting here because the dev forums are being overrun with Q&A questions like these. So, apologies to everyone else. However, I've been there and wanted to help you out. In future, please use the Q&A forum if you have a help question.

Wow whizz, thank u very much for the help. I know some moderators would get mad at what u dis. But man I was literarily loosing my mind. I evwn rhrough the phone at my wife cause I was so iritated. I folowed what u said. Extracted zimage and flashed with the kernel app off the market. All I gotta say is thank u very much. Now wheres that thank u button?

1. Not going to happen with JB or ICS roms.
2. GB (and Froyo) roms - make sure to disable voodoo lagfix from CWM recovery, reboot and allow conversion process to complete. Then flash a stock kernel using Odin, Heimdall, or SGS kernel flasher. You will lose CWM recovery and some ADB capabilities.
Good luck...

[GUIDE] How to Flash JellyBean

Lately JellyBean has intrigued many users, but seems to frequently give them a hard time due to the many steps it requires, specially for GB users. Thus this guide is born in hopes it pacifies everyone's journey to JB.
Are you on stock and have no idea where to start? Jump to 2nd post
Backup EFS (In case you lose your IMEI when converting to MTD)
qkster Scripts
Infuse Toolkit
EFS Pro
If you are still on froyo bootloaders and do not want rainbows on your recovery once on ICS, you must flash GB Bootloaders. Have in mind a bad bootloader flash will brick your phone, so do this at your own risk and with extreme caution.
Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3
Flash once, leave the program open, enter download mode and flash once again, but with "Flash Bootloaders" ticked on.
Bootloaders only -- Use PDA slot.
*Only flash this if you are confident about your Odin/Heimdall connection*
INSTALLATION
Download all Roms and gapps you will be flashing and place them on your internal SD.
If you are already on ICS, skip over to II).
I) GB to ICS
*There are 2 ways of reaching ICS (blue recovery) to then flash JB. Follow the method you feel more comfortable with*
Method A:
1. Boot to Red CWM Recovery
2. Make a nandroid backup (Optional)
3. Wipe Data, Cache & Dalvik Cache
4. Format System
5. Flash ICS Rom
6. Reboot system (not recovery)
7. Phone will hang; hold vol+, vol- & power, and release power when you see the samsung logo to enter recovery.
8. Wipe Data, Cache & Dalvik Cache
9. Flash ICS Rom
10. Reboot
Method B:
1. Run this One-Click ICS Recovery
2. Boot into Download Mode, and Flash
3. Phone will hang; hold vol+, vol- & power, and release power when you see the samsung logo to enter recovery.
Once it boots into ICS, turn off and remove your external sdcard before you move on to flashing JB .
(The MTD conversion tends to go wrong if it is attempted while an ext-sd is inserted)
II) Flashing JB
1. Boot into Recovery
2. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik
3. Format System
4. Flash JB Rom
*The 1st time you flash JB, your phone should reboot twice since it is now converting your phone to MTD file system.*
*continue once the recovery main screen appears.*
5. Flash JB Gapps
6. Reboot
First boot should take a few minutes, so wait patiently and don't freak out.
____________________________
You should now be enjoying JB! ​If something went wrong and you got caught in a bootloop, go back to stock with one of these:
Heimdall One-Click UCLB3

Starting from scratch:
Currently on stock Froyo:
1) Use Heimdall or Odin to flash stock UCLB3 (GB)
*Suggestion: Also flash GB bootloaders. See first post for links and warnings.*
2) Flash Entropy's DD kernel to obtain root and red CWM recovery.

Sometimes, one of the painful thing of helping others is messing up your phone or your setup in the process.
Another suggestion I have is if you're still enthusiastic about it, you can also make a YouTube video of the process. Some people can't read.
Ex: show your phone running fine. Odin to stock or Heimdall with BL flash. Heimdall-1click Gb kernel or Jscott tar for cwm. Then CM9. Then JB/CNA/Paranoid etc.

You could put this link in op.

I have a question. I have a Samsung Infuse phone that is currently on Stock Samsung OEM GingerBread that was released via AT&T. Do I just need to root it and then upgrade to ICS? Or do I need to do something different with it being the stock GB?

[Q] Complete Newbie - Need help to start flashing

Dear all,
I own a rooted Samsung Galaxy S 4G, but in terms of flashing I'm a total newbie. I've been reading around for a while but, paradoxically, there are so many informations it's hard to keep up with them. I'm wondering if someone could help me out with setting up the process.
My device is 2 years old, it is legally unlocked but coming from T-Mobile, and it was fairly loaded with bloatware. I've removed some of the stuff with titanium, but the system is pretty slow, and it reboots way too often. Through Kies I upgraded to Gingerbread, then unfortunately upgrades were discontinued.
What should be the first steps if I want to flash a different rom? I know there's a step to step guide here, but I'm scared to damage things if I simply follow directions without fully understanding I'm doing things right.
For example, first question: backup. I know I need to backup. What's the most efficient way to do it, so that I can recover the whole thing should the flashing go south?
Thank you for your patience.

This app would help you backup your entire phone. You will need to get onto a custom recovery to restore, but that comes with every ROM.

Excellent advice, thank you. Unfortunately though, leads to a bad start. I installed the app, but it seems unable to perform a backup. I've tre three times, with no luck. It ends the process saying the use cancelled it, but I didn't. In the logger it report /boot not found and /recovery not found, it then move on til the end of the backing up until the verification, and then doesn't conclude the backup.
Tips?

Okay, if you have Titanium Backup running, you must be rooted. At this point, your best next step is doing a full backup and then using a one-click to get to a custom recovery. OBackup is probably failing because you're still on stock recovery, not CWM or TWRP. Not that you REALLY need the second backup, but... hey.
After your one-click (no need to double-flash because you already have the GB bootloaders from your Kies upgrade), you should be able to flash... whatever you like. Note that if you're going to try a JB version, you should flash ICS first to set up the MTD partition.
Basic steps, stop at whichever even number you want:
1) One-click to rooted GB with custom recovery.
2) Check to make sure the phone boots and has a working IMEI.
3) Flash CM9 (or other ICS version, such as UltraGen 1.01) to set up proper MTD partition.
4) Check to make sure the phone boots and has a working IMEI.
5) Flash SlimBean (or other JB version, such as PACman or CM10) to try out JB.
6) Check to make sure the phone boots and has a working IMEI. Note that JB 4.2 versions still require workarounds for wifi (JB 4.1 has fully-working wifi) and no JB has working GPS yet, so those not working are expected.

Correct, I am rooted and have titanium backup running.
When you say having a full backup you mean with Titanium? And by full you mean app by app?
Also, what do you mean by saying "using a one-click to get to a custom recovery?"
Sorry to be such a pain, but I'm truly a newbie, and part/most of what you say sounds like arabic to me... (and no, I don't speak arabic
Thanks a lot though! The more I read, the more I learn I guess.

First post is to get to gingerbread second post is about one-clicks.
If you're already rooted you need to just check which version of recovery you're on (power button+both volume buttons, let go of power when second splash screen comes on)
If you're on 5.x.x then you can go download any ics or jb rom and follow their instructions to flash it.
If you're on 3.x.x you need to flash blastoff kernel or basic with a twist to get the proper recovery. Both of which are packaged in one-clicks or flashable zips. Somewhere in the dev section.

If you're already rooted and have cwm recovery when you boot into recovery at the top of that screen it will either say clockwork mod version 5.x.x or 3.x.x.
If not then you'll see the stock recovery which ...I don't remember what it looks like. Sorry. I assume it won't say clockwork anywhere though.
If you have cwm 3.x.x then you can just grab this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828171
And flash in recovery. That will give you the right version of cwm so you can then move on to ics or jb.
Used to be a rule about flashing cm9 first and then moving on to whatever rom you were after. Probably better safe than sorry there. It's been a while for me so I dunno if it's still best practice.
---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------
As far as gremlin remover, if you're not rooted that would be where to start. It will give you a rooted kernel with cwm recovery.

I am rooted, but I assume I don't have CWM Recovery, as it doesn't mention it when I boot into recovery mod.
What should be my next step?

Gremlin remover or Eollie's heimdall one-click. The reason I lean towards gremlin remover is because you should already be set up with kies drivers and it should go smoothly. I use heimdall though..so.. maybe someone with odin experience should jump in if I missed some important stuff.

I'd go with Gremlin remover I think, but I have two questions:
1) Should I use the remover before flashing the kernel, or should I first flash the kernel?
2) In the link about the gremlin remover it says:
"4 Odin will do it's magic and your phone will reboot
7 Reboot into recovery mode
8 Perform a factory/data reset and flash ROM of choice per the OP of the ROM"
If I do factory reset won't I go back to be unrooted and to the OS before gingerbread?

Gremlin remover comes with it's own kernel that's already got custom recovery. I'm not sure which version of clockwork comes with it. If it has the older version then you'll have to flash blastoff afterward. Factory resetting won't mess up your root, it'll just wipe out all your data and apps so whatever you flash next won't bootloop.
So... In order:
1. Run gremlin remover
2. Reboot recovery
3. If you end up with cwm 3.x.x, flash blastoff kernel. Otherwise skip this step.
4. Reboot recovery, wipe caches and data.
5. Flash whatever rom you want. Maybe cm9 first.

Thanks for the help so far.

Correct. unless I did something wrong, since I rebooted it in download mode through adb (Maybe didn't pull the usb cable quickly enough? is that possible?)

Gremlin remover is supposed to be used as a cleanup if your phone starts acting lame, but it also flashes a custom recovery so you can start flashing your stuff. For basic flashing and stuff you're not gonna need adb. Not to say you shouldn't learn to use it.. just saying.

Oh yeah and if you boot to download mode via adb for some reason it confuses your pc and it won't see the phone. Easier to just power off, hold volume buttons and plug in to pc.
