If you had gone into the general section and read the titles you wouldn't noticed it's exactly what you want
Yea. That link you gave me is for fresh out the box t959v. After reading it a couple times. It doesnt have anything for rooted phones. I want to know how to upgrade with a already rooted phone with froyo to gingerbread.

You need the KJ6 Heimdall One-Click. The guide for it is in the second post in that same thread. Look again.
Or click the second link in my signature.

It doesn't really matter whether your phone is rooted or not, that's the beauty of these phones. Just follow lumin's instructions and you'll be set.
He can't use Kies mini because he is rooted. I think he only saw the guide in the first post and that is why he thought it wouldn't work.
Which one would i use? Bootloader or non bootloader? Again.... thanks for all the information. It is highly appreciated.

You need the one with the bootloader becuz the froyo bootloader doesnt work so well with the gingerbread rom.

I am a new android user. I am learning little by little about this phone. Does anyone know how to install custom rom on infuse? I got my phone rooted already.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. First of all you have to be rooted. PM me if you need help with that. Which ROM do you want to flash? There are two that are working well, Infused and refuse. Refuse needs to use odin though, and infused usually doesnt. Just hit me up and I'll send you detailed instructions via PM. We dont need more clutter in these boards.

since the this thread is already started i do have a few noob questions if someone is willing to answer
you should ask.
Look at the thread that I made in the dev section and post questions there. They will be answered
Sent from my 4.5' Infuse 4g: Currently running Infused v1.3.1 w/ voodoo lagfix. Thank you gtg465x!
k will look there first and guess go from there. I have been hesitant to ask cuz always afraid they have been asked or wrong place to ask. Ive looked thru so many pages that i probably saw the answers to some of my questions but read them as a blur. I come from an iphone and with so many android phones seems so confusing at times.

Just rooted with one click root and I'm trying to install a custom recovery so i can flash roms and such... I see something telling me to use ODIN but I have no clue what that is.
I tried to flash the .zip from the sticky in the development section but the stock recovery obviously wouldn't work. This phone is much more complicated to work with when compared to my evo lol

I read them 10 times or more, it says flash them.... I can't flash with the stock recovery.
Maybe you should read them before you answer with nonsense
I just wanna get a recovery on this phone and everything starts with ODIN, no clue what that is. I googled it and downloaded something but it doesn't appear to be what I need.
Something a little more clear would be helpful..
Nevermind, got it
Actually, the link is in a sticky . . . just not in the General section, lol. It's in the Development section, Files to get your Mesmerize back to stock 2.1 and 2.2.1.

Can anyone please post on this thread on how to install a Rom on a Samsung Infuse? I have downloaded the current ROM for it and do not know how to do it. I have found some directions on YouTube but to no avail. This would help others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160
And this belongs in the Questions section.
What ROMs are you referring to exactly? All custom ROMs are flashable through CWM recovery. The "official" gingerbread leaks from przekret are only flashable through Odin or Heimdall. Directions for both of these methods already exists in infuse general and infuse q&a sections. I would suggest a google search with something like this:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com samsung infuse how to install ROM via Odin
It'll tell google to ONLY search xda-developers.com for your search term. The xda search sucks (IMO).
yo have to root the phone and have CWM instaled then you can flash what you want....and this is not a development question...please post in right section
I know but seemed like I wasnt getting a good response so I decided to quickly ask here.
I am referring to SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT.RAR
I promise I will remove soon and put in the correct section to help others with similar question.
I do not have rooted phone so I downloaded the ROM that was non-rooted

If that is the leak from prezkret thread, you'll need to extract the rar and there should be a tar.md5 in there (if memory serves). You will need to use Odin to flash this on your device so being rooted is not necessary. Put your phone into download mode, connect it to your pc, fire up odin and put the tar.md5 that is within this rar into the pda slot. That's all you'll need to do.
there is a tar.md5 this really helps. thankyou

So, because you were impatient, you felt a need to break the rules of this forum and post in a section you are explicitly not suppost to post new threads in unless the thread is for something YOU have created?
What makes you think you are so special and are allowed to break the rules?
Also, I just looked through your posting history - you didn't even TRY to post in Q&A.
The bible will give you everything you will ever possibly need...

I think since you posted this question here and by some of the things you have said, you should wait on doing anything to your phone. I'm not trying to be mean but you really don't seem like you know what you are doing and that you need to do some research first. If not you'll have another post asking how to unbrick your phone. Do some reading.

That I'd what I did. I read all of the instructions from every rom thread and then hung out on IRC before I even attempted to flash a ROM
I still bricked it a few times, even partially broke download mode
Plenty of information on this forum to help you. All you need to do is search.

@OP - Did you get it figured out?
I have the Skyrocket (of course) and recently downloaded ICS OTA, or some sort of update. The phone rebooted as normal, but gave me the Clock Work Mod screen. I rebooted the phone from there and got a nice error message on my home screen saying the update was interrupted. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First!
Read around. Answers are everywhere!
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe im wrong but to do an update like that dont you have to be on stock recovery not cwm. I know some of the experts will chime in. FYI make sure you put things like this in Q&A for future ref.
I'm not sure if it was ICS or not. But I simply clicked on "Check for updates" under device management and I have one. The phone downloads the update but when it restarts I get the CWM Recovery screen. I'm new to Clock Work, but I went ahead and restored my phone to a previous setting through Rom Manager and tried again. Same thing. Do I need to disable CWM?
This is why I made this thread

@Madmax, how do I get on a stock recovery. I apologize for being a total noob at this. I couldn't find anything in any other forums.

First thing you need to specify, are you with rogers? Which phone do you have exactly?
flash the recovery file from sammobile through odin. Which also has ICS tar for the Rogers equivalent. Download the file, flash through odin. There is an All in one guide for noobs near the top of the general forum with layed out instructions, just find the post you need on the front page and follow those instructions. It should be listed under returning to stock or unrooting.
i would download the ICS tar from sammobile and use the method in the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
That will show you how to get back to stock. that is the first sticky in the dev section.
Edit: oh beat me to it i type too slow lol.
As this is a question it belongs in Q&A. To OP your questions should should have answers in the stickies and the many Upgrade related thread elsewhere. But since the community pitched in I will just placce in Q&A.
Cheers

Hey guys whats up,
I have a friend that wants to update his phone from GB 2.3.6 to the latest ICS 4.0...I have tried samsung kies and is says connecting for like 5 minutes.is not working for me.i have installed the drivers...is there anyway to download the update from somewhere else & installed the update without using Kies?
Thanks
Read the stickies dude
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Completely uninstall Kies, reboot, then reinstall it if you want to use Kies. It might work, I'm not sure. More info here.
Otherwise you can probably flash the official firmware files using Odin. I can't remember where to get them, but I know there's a link somewhere in this forum to the official files.
Im getting an error now.says No SIM card inserted.Unable to continue communication.Phone is running on a Tmobile SIM card

That's some solid advice. Maybe if we all say it he(or she) will get it.
