Some have mentioned (rightfully so) in the thread in the General section now titled "ICS here: (more to come)" that it is getting quite full of various bug reports and doesn't really belong there. Since I know that jt1134 is building it and doesn't post much on xda (usually uses RootzWiki) I figured I would quickly start a Q&A thread for us to post in so we can leave the other one clean for his work.
This is not an official support thread and its quite possible that jt1134 won't come by here at all. This is simply for everyone to help each other and keep the main thread clean.
A few things that I seem to have gathered while reviewing the other thread:
The link to the post where jt1134 posted the first preview is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24665001&postcount=272
If you flash the recovery from Froyo bootloaders you will get what people refer to as the "rainbow" recovery, this is very colorful and hardly readable. From GingerBread bootloaders it should appear normal
Camera is known to not be working as of the time of this post
Many apps (including Facebook) launch correctly if you shut off GPS alltogether (this seems to be the solution if you find an app that just shuts the phone off upon launching)
External SD card should show up in the /mnt/emmc/ folder (might just be /emmc/)

Not a bug but a question. Has anyone unzipped the recovery file and flashed through heimdall? It is a zimage in there so I assume you would put it in the kernel slot. My PC and Odin aren't friends.
Thanks.
Just a suggestion, maybe someone making a bootloader package would be awesome. Also, trying to get tablet mode on, so everyone lnows no luck but hold tight.
I'm on CM7 and was wondering, flash away or do I need to flash the recovery provided on this thread?
Thanks for any help...

Froyo bootloaders will give an uninterpretable rainbow. Pull the battery then it will become remotely readable in the most extreme senses of the word.
Camera works if you compile it yourself.

If I remember correctly, CM7 uses hacked froyo bootloaders, but I might be wrong. Either way, put the rom and gapps on your sd, Odin the recovery first, then follow his instructions.

I had thought about that as well.
Reasoning it through, I don't think it will be an issue but haven't tried it yet.
It would be useful though, to have the Boot.bin, params.lfs, sbl.bin and the kernel zimage as a 1 straight shot.
That will give gb bl's and the recovery image kernel.

So after a bit of work I was able to decrypt the encrypted file from the fus.samsungmobile.com site. The result? The stock zip able to be flashed to your device to put it on UVKD1.
Mostly I did this because of people who may have problems with Kies Mini to update to UVKD1 (like I did, took forever to get drivers etc and kies to behave).
Again this is completely stock! Nothing done to it. I did use Kies Mini to apply this update automatically, but again it's the unencrypted zip that gets flashed to your phone.
As always, I'm not responsible for bricking your device etc. etc.
I imagine this can be used via ODIN to update your device, but again I haven't gone through this process.
As I have not tested this method personally, I cannot guarantee anything. Just wanted to provide the STOCK Zip without the encryption on it.
Anyone more knowledgeable about this please feel free to interject.

only thing I noticed was that the pattern lockscreen now has the emergency button at the bottom centered below the pattern. It's fairly smooth, seems like mostly bug fixes based on the release notes.
I'd really be curious to find out what the OTA url is for this, but not sure anyone here is going to get the OTA, cause we're probably all rooted or that and KC1 won't.
However, if anyone does wanna logcat and then get the OTA eventually that would be cool.

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.

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.

There appears to be no Q&A thread for CM9 currently. I know generally the person who made/ported the ROM would start it, but doesn't appear that that's high on Entropy's priority list. Anyway, there are a lot of CM9 threads wasting space on Infuse Q&A section, so here's this.
Ask any questions about CM9 for the Samsung Infuse 4g here.
It's my first real thread so don't get mad if something isn't right, tell me how to fix it.
Q: I get weird rainbows in recovery and when my device boots? What gives?
A: This is what happens when a Gingerbread or ICS kernel is booted on a device with Froyo bootloaders. You will need to either live with the rainbows (recovery is at least partially usable with the rainbows now) or flash Gingerbread bootloaders. Stay tuned for more info on bootloader flashing.
Unfortunately, the classic "rainbow fix" we used for Gingerbread is not compatible with how video acceleration is set up in ICS. The rainbowfix will just cause the device to crash immediately on boot. (I think this is why jt was not successful with LinuxBozo's CM7 source.)
Q: I'm getting rainbows, how do I flash Gingerbread bootloaders?
Flash the bootloaders from the file attached to this post using Heimdall as follows:
heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin
DO NOT do this unless you are experiencing rainbows, and DO NOT do this until you have confirmed you can flash less dangerous stuff (like kernels) with Heimdall. If the flash fails you will hardbrick!
Thanks to LinuxBozo for confirming, way back in the days of UCKJ2, that Heimdall can safely flash bootloaders from leaks. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18539754#post18539754 - Be warned, once you do this step there is no going back. For whatever reason the Infuse won't flash dumped bootloaders, so there is no known way to return to Froyo and Rogers Gingerbread bootloaders.

Everyone will have different experiences depending on where they are coming to CM9 from. The above link is the clean install method. I will say that I came from the CM7 unofficial ROM and blue CWM simply by wiping cache and installing the ROM. I didn't get hung at the samsung screen, but I got tons of exception errors and fc. I went back into recovery and did a clean wipe + wipe cache. Now she runs just about perfect. The OP mentions items that flat don't work and they are basically the same in CM7. Fine with me. LOVE LOVE LOVE ICS on the Infuse.

I just don't want to brick my phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
I have a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket (SGH-I727) on the AT&T network. I set my phone into download mode, opened Odin3 v.1.85 and selected the .tar file I downloaded off this forum to root the device. Well after about 30 mins of Odin being stuck with the "<ID:0/009> SetupConnection.." prompt I figured it froze up or something. Well I restarted everything and and now my phone just goes straight into Odin mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I'm trying to reload the .tar and it is still doing the same thing...
I'm a complete noob at this! Will someone please help me out with really simple detailed instructions on how I can get my phone working again? I will do anything in return!!!!

Just so you know, reflashing it will work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Just make sure repartition is not checked, only reboot. click pda and select the CWM tar. Just make sure the device is recognized in the com port before you push start.

Cool, thanks for helping!
Use odin and flash the sammobile image it will wipe everything but should fix the issue
CM9 Skyrocket
Sometimes its as simple as rebooting your computer, open Odin as admin, select your tar under PDA, connect your phone, make sure com is lit up and flash. My windows machine gets freaky like that sometimes and just fails or sits there doing nothing. Driver issue I assume even though they are there. I've encountered that error a few times trying to flash in Odin. No worries. These guys will get you back up. Good luck!

Got it! Working on downloading the .tar file from sammobile right now.
You mentioned different versions of the OS like ICS and 4.0... Which one do I want? LOL and where do I get it? I'm assuming its different than the firmware correct?

Thats a personal choice. Currently there are many different roms floating around but it depends on what you want.
Deciding on which to get is a matter of 2 simple questions for me: Do you want to be up to date, since ICS is the new hottest, thing (sexier UI IMO, some app issues, but overall feel wise. it makes the phone feel so much better, and fits the sleek profile, but lets not have me go on about aesthetics lol.
Or do you want functionatilty, extra options, overclocking (changing clock speeds) and things like that, currently we can only do that on 2.3.5/6 (Gingerbread, also known as GB)
I personally like ICS. Sometimes the Skyrocket just has to be sexy than the powerhouse e-beast that it is. That will happen whenever the Official ICS comes out

You don't need the sammobile tar unless you're returning to stock. If you wanna just be stock rooted, flash CWM in odin. Make a nandroid backup. Then put the superuser zip on the sd card and flash it in CWM.
If you wanna run a custom rom from our dev section, just flash CWM, make a backup and then flash the rom which will already be rooted

I just wanted to make sure that I got him back on the upgrade path to ics if he wants and the tar file saved me so I can verify it personally. Don't want to trip his counter.

Yeah I know the sammobile tar works, I found it a while ago and have been telling people to use it.
If your entire life is on it, I'd take the time to backup your important files, so you don't lose them!

If you have any problems or questions about this ROM please post them here so we can try and keep the other thread tidy. Also if you'd like to request something or some sort of feature being implemented into a future release ask away in here. I'll try and answer any and all questions ASAP. Hope you guys enjoy our port of this incredible ROM
Umm yes.... Im looking to flash this ROM... what does this do? .
But seriously... Nice... just noticed this... Good idea.
What all is not working on this Rom? I installed it yesterday and the only thing that bothers me is the fact that no MMS files will download when you receive one from anyone. What's the current outlook on the MMS? I think I saw that Bluetooth isn't working either? Also excellent job on the port/build! My favorite so far.

new issue...I just tried installing the extra kernel and now my phone will not boot normal or to recovery or download mode. Has anyone had this happen on theres?

Under developer settings, would using the options "allow GPU rendering" use more batter than if it wasn't in use? Speed seems to improve slightly but enough to be noticeable, is there a really big downside to this setting? Ohh and is there any way we could get some type of security lock built into the rom to have the option to password protect apps? Kinda like MIUI has it? Thanks in advance

Hmmm never had any MMS problems myself at all. You might try downloading the latest build posted in the dev section. It should hopefully fix your problem. And correct, bluetooth isn't working and won't until the kernel issues get fixed. But mainly everything works perfect.

Never used GPU rendering so I honestly can't say for sure. And as for the security lock....never looked into it so I don't really know what adding it would entail.

I have seen it suggested to set mms proxy to 66.209.11.32 in apn settings for some of the other ice roms.
I got the MMS working. Under apn setting "ATT LTE" where it says "PTA" I changed it to say "phone". Works perfect now.

When flashing this coming from GB (2.3.5) i got blue recovery with half the screen filled with "rainbows". I know this is a boot loader problem, and i followed the instructions with double flashing and also every time i boot it up, right after the Samsung logo i get the whole screen filled with "rainbows". Is there anyway to flash the proper ones?

You would need to flash the GB Bootloaders.. You can either use Odin or Heimdell.. I personally used Odin, so thats what i am going to suggest.. HERE IS THE LINK - The part you need is towards the bottom of the page when you go to that link. Here is the part you will need to follow
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.

So just to be clear, you wouldn't highly recommend flashing the proper one's? If you so happen to attempt to flash them and for whatever reason brick the device would you end up with a soft or hard brick, and would it be repairable?
This seems to be an ICS problem, or at least ICS ports for our phones; I have tried two other ICS ROMs, and none of them are playing .wma files, but as far as I have seen are playing .mp3 files just fine. Every time I open try to open up a .wma file it says, "This file could not be played," or "Invalid file extension." Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue of not being able to boot into recovery, either through the power menu or through the 3-button method. I flashed the ROM successfully and can boot into it but i have not flashed GAPPS yet. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to ODIN back to stock and try reflashing everything?
Stuck in Recovery
Ok I flashed Beta r3-beta2 and is stuck in recovery....didn't see any instructions so what or where are the directions to flash from gb? and what can I do to get it to boot?
