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 ?

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.
Just what everyone wants.... another thread about a bricked phone.
I have no idea what happened to my phone.... I have been running Valhalla Final for a week now with no issues to speak of and lost all my ringer tones after a failed attempt to put sound on a boot-loader using Absolute System. I rebooted into recovery and tried to restore my nandroid which failed when it said unable to unmount system. when I rebooted it had fc in android.core multiple times so I rebooted again and after it loaded had no control. did a battery pull and then would not go past the power up screen. downloaded heimdall one click file T959V-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar and put it into download mode. flashed and it went fine until factoryfs failed. now still in download but img is pic of phone to computer. last 2 attempt was
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar and it failed first at loading the modem and then at loading recovery.
I am lost. seems like everything I try makes it little worse. Have not tried ODIN yet.
Is there any hope or am I out a phone?
Give Odin a try. Last time I used Odin it froze so I pulled the plug, and when I put my phone back in download it showed that same screen, yet Odin still went through.
So no, that screen doesn't mean you're out a phone.

Grab chadster's KG4 here. I believe it has ODIN 1.85 included in the file. Don't mess with any of the check boxes in ODIN; let ODIN decide what to check.
After that, you should be able to get back to KJ6 via a one-click.
Shady grab Ravers stock GB and honks GB odin kernel. Flash Ravers, If you can, then honks. That will give you stock plus cwm. You know where to go from there. Funny thing is just yesterday FB had a post about leaving BOOTLOADERS alone w/o unbrickable mod. Good luck.

shady
Are you going with the chadsters leak or ravers stock?
I don't know why you guys keep recommending old (leaked) ROMs to debrick with.
@Shady if you see anything posted by myself, dsexton, bhundven or raverx3x you can bet that we've tested it extensively and that it'll work on your phone.
On that note I recommend you read the whole page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Download from the SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders link. This will get you a one click flash solution that you can go back to when you have problems. This, unlike the KG4 file others have been recommending, is the latest version of gingerbread (KJ6 is 2.3.6) and you'll have a custom kernel + root to boot so you can get flashing other gingerbread ROMs. I hope you don't have trouble flashing, and if you do, read the OP to what I linked you to. All the instructions are there.
I know this file has been failing for you but you can try restarting your computer and flashing it from safe mode. When your computer is booting up, keep pressing F8 until you get a menu. Pick "Safe mode with networking" from the menu using your arrow keys and press enter.

Only because he was failing with one-clicks and wanted to use ODIN. That one (KG4) has always worked for me, so I was basing it off of experience. Never claimed it was optimal

Hello, I am a long-time viewer of xda but a new member, this is my first post.
(and yes, i looked for a similar theard. i could not find one.)
So, onto the problem.
I flashed Infinitum 1.1.1 to my Infuse using cwm recovery. I noticed problems right off the bat when after i had installed the zip, i rebooted into recovery then it got stuck on the samsung logo and i had to pull the battery (a normal event when flashing this rom) So when i pulled the battery and booted into recovery to try again, the cwm recovery was terribly screwed up. The top half of the screen was pixelated, and the navigation menu was off center. I was still able to use cwm to flash the rom successfully, But cwm remains srewed up.
So i tried to reflash cwm recovery using rom manager. but when i rebooted i was stuck in a recovery boot-loop that i had to get out of using odin.
I then flashed the rom again using the same procedure suggested by its developer, and it worked, but cwm is still acting as it was before. (the pixelated top half of the screen and the off center navigation menu. )
So can i get some help? i thought about removing cwm the using some other recovery. I also heard that cwm wont work on ics, but im unsure what it is.
Thanks in advance.
You don't have Gingerbread bootloaders. That's why recovery looks the way it does.
You need to Odin or Heimdall back to Gingerbread stock (I find Heimdall much easier for this) and then flash Entropy's DD kernel to get back into red recovery to flash Infinitum.

Yeah, ICS recovery doesn't play nice with Froyo bootloaders.
AFAIK, there is no way to get Gingerbread bootloaders without reverting to stock. With Heimdall it's an incredibly simple, and quick process. I just had to do it myself a couple nights ago

Yup, it'll work just fine
Just follow all the instructions for Heimdall to a T (there aren't many) and everything will be fine
Yeah...heimdal is the best way to get bootloaders...odin doesnt always do it and no custom rom includes them that i am aware of...
I had written detailed instructions for another person...ill try and find them and paste it here...
Also-dont use rom manager, that thing is known to cause bricks/bootloops so using it is asking for bad ju-ju lol

Have you tried flashing boot loaders?
Here is how to do it...
1) Download uclb3 heimdal by qckster
2) open the program
3) put phone in download mode
4) click flash (leave program open when finished DO NOT CLOSE)
5) after it finishes and your phone reboots, put the phone back in download mode and reconnect to PC
6) click flash bootloader on the heimdal program you left running
7) flash, let reboot and your problems should be gone
Download mode instructions
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up + down
4) connect phone to PC with USB cable *don't let go of volume*
Just because you were on gingerbread previously does nit mean you have ginger bread boot loaders...I had ginger bread since the first leaks and did not have boot loaders until a month or two ago when I flashed them using those steps above...
Good luck!

Thank you for posting the guide. I literally just got done flashing GB bootloaders to my Infuse because of the rainbow Recovery when I'm on ICS. I used Odin though and used GB loader that a member posted in the AOKP Uniporn thread. I was scared but there really isn't anything to be afraid of. I tried using Heimdall but dang that was nerve racking because I was trying to use it on Mac and it wouldn't let me do the flash.

Good deal, glad you got it sorted out. And to clear up some confusion that is in this thread: you don't have to flash an entire Gingerbread rom to get the bootloaders. We all have our preferred ways of doing it, but you CAN flash just the bootloaders.
Here is both a Heimdall and an Odin way to get JUST the bootloaders. That's all that is necessary for someone who has rainbow distortion issues on an ICS or Gingerbread rom.:
See the third post (HERE) in Entropy512's Unofficial CM9 thread for instructions on how to flash just the bootloaders using the Heimdall command line. Or, see the answer to question 1.) in the FAQ of the rooted UCLB3 Odin thread which is HERE.

Click to expand...

Heimdall is one way to get the bootloaders, and here's how I did it.:
heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin
The second part of your statement isn't true. Odin doesn't do it only when the user can't figure out how to use Odin.
thank you everyone.
Being a creature of habit i ended up flashing to rom and bootloaders using odin. that did indeed fix CWM right up.

If you had read the OP, you can't go directly to JB, you have to be on ICS, then flash JB.
Which option did you use from that page? I've used "I997UCLB3-root.rar" many times. But sometimes it gets stuck and I have to pull the usb cable and start over.
So, use I997UCLB3-root.rar, to go back to stock GB. Then flash an ICS rom, reboot. Then flash a JB rom.

Flashing JB is a big leap. Some reading, specially when you are new, could have saved you the trouble. But well, now is time to learn the hard way.
Download any uclb3 back to stock pack, either Odin or heimdall. Put your phone in download mode:
1) take out battery and place it back.
2) while holding vol + & - , connect your phone with a usb cable already inserted into the Pc.
Once in download mode, see if your phone is detected by odin or heimdall. If not you may need to install the drivers.
When all is ready, hit start.
*you probably don't have GB bootloaders. That will cause rainbows in your recovery when flashing ics and jb. If you feel you cant live with them, you will need to flash them.*
To flash jellybean, 1st flash any ics rom following directions coming from GB in the OP. Once you have blue recovery, flash JB with the directions in the rom OP.

As others mentioned, you first need to install an ICS ROM, like CM9 or Uniporn. The first time you flash you will prob get stuck in a boot loop and will need to use the three finger method to get back to recovery. In case you don't know what that means, you hold the volume keys and power button to turn phone on and then release only the power button when the Samsung logo shows. When u get back to recovery, flash the same ROM a second time and then it will boot.
You will now have blue recovery so you can flash the jb ROM of choice by following the method in the OP for that ROM. Remember to pull out the external sdcard if you have one.
Also, as others have mentioned, you may not have GB bootloaders. To get them, go to the "ISET infuse everything thread" which is stickied in the dev section. You will find Odin and Heimdall packages which have the bootloaders there. Be very careful when installing bootloaders (test usb with a kernel or something less dangerous first) bc if it fails while trying to flash the bootloaders, it can hard brick your phone. And then thank bigjoe for putting together the ISET thread so all infuse users can find everything we need in one place.

I would like to upgrade to the latest Jellybean version. I tried to read all tutorials but cant make heads or tails. I was hoping someone could walk me through it all step by step. maybe by messenger or email?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay, first you need to get yourself a cwm recovery.
To do that, flash Entropy's dd kernel.
Qkster has a heimdall one-click which you can use to flash it in download mode.
You will probably also need the GB bootloaders. Qkster also has one for that.
Now you just flash ICS, then a JB rom and you should be done.
There's a guide on my signature which explains all this step by step, with links and everything. I suggest you take a look at it.

OK, after following the "[GUIDE] How to flash JB " on andros11 signature, on the install I) GB to ICS, I used method B. After step 2 in method B, when do I do step 3? It is sitting at title screen that shows, "Galaxy S cyanogen(mod). I did the step 3 then and selected boot recovery, and it just stays on the "Galaxy S cyanogen(mod)" screen. Is it frozen? What did I do wrong?
PLEASE HELP
Yea, it is supposed to hang at that screen.
Take out the battery and boot into recovery with the 3 finger combo (hold both volume buttons and the power button, and let go of power once the samsung logo pops up

So how long is it suppose to hang like that? Minutes, hour?
Also when in recovery it say on bottom of screen(log I guess) cache couldn't mount?
It hangs because you now have an ICS kernel with a GB system, so it won't boot.
If you do the 3-finger combo correctly it should boot to the recovery. Now you just need to flash a JB Rom and the corresponding gapps
Hi all,
I had a rooted GB 2.3.6 done with the Odin method here and I just upgraded to ICS and CM9 via the Entropy and everything worked ok, including making phone calls.
Then I went ahead and installed SlimBean 3.0/SlimGapps and I seem to be unable to make phone calls because it says Broadband version: Unknown. I'm now on JB 4.2.2 on SGH-1997
I am on Samsung Infuse 4G with ATT and I am not sure how to restore my mobile radio network. Can someone help me how to restore my phone calling feature and HSPA+ data network? Do I need to flash something?
Thanks,
Fanirama, try flashing cm10. That usually restores the IMEI.
Then flash back to slim and hopefully you'll be good

Great! That did the trick... I flashed CM10.1 and IMEI is back along with everything else.
Maybe I'll stick with CM10 for sometime and see how it goes. I kinda preferred Slimrom from what I saw of it - it was very zippy, very polished with very few bugs from limited testing I did on main features.
Sadly in all this fiasco, I lost all my contacts which is a major bummer. Hopefully Titanium Backup which I did kept my contacts.
Thank you very much for your help. I was planning on flashing Carbon next but I think CM was a better suggestion.
Can I upgrade my wifes Samsung i897(captivate) with the same stuff as I did with Infuse. Is it upgradable to JB?
Nope.. You'll want to visit the captivate forums to see what is available. Many good devs over there.
