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​

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?

[Q] Problems with ClockWork Samsung Infuse

I tried putting clockwork recovery onto my Samsung Infuse. I Installed it through a ROM Manager and now everytime i go into the ROM manager and select it to boot into recovery it boots into android system recovery. I cannot get to the Modified Recovery needed to install a cutom ROM.
What do i need to do to get CWM to work?

Option 1:
1.-Download Sgs Kernel installer
2.- Download a Kernel with modified cwm included ( here one choice: http://www.multiupload.com/1E3AWIQYAA <--If you are on Froyo;
http://www.multiupload.com/6ZVYU3F106<-- If you are on Gingerbread) The links ARE NOT mine are gtgx.
3.-Put the kernel in your sd card.
4.-Open sgs kernel flasher and select the kernel.
It will reboot and convert your data to ext4 and also give you modified red cmw ready to install custom roms. It will take about 5 minutes be patient.
Option 2:
1.- Download the Defuse 1.5 one click kernel from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 (link NOT mine)
2.- Put your phone into download mode
3.- Run the file you downloaded it will do the work for you.
Find Odin preset with 3e and root. Follow directions and run odin properly with phone in download mode (explained in odin post). After that you will be rooted with modded 3e recovery. Then you can download rom manager when the phone reboots and flash for galaxy i9000, reboot into recovery and reinstall packages. You should be able to reinstall packages now since odin set up your recovery. It sounds like you aren't able to put the modded recovery in the system/bin folder; same thing happened to me. I had root, but could not modify the recovery file in system/bin. Odin is a charm, if I had the money I would donate to the guy who made it, unfortunately I don't at the moment. Odin says phone should show as com## yet mine showed as com0 and still worked. Probably depends on which USB port you use. Odin takes about 10 minutes to flash your phone but it will be worth it when you are done. I was skeptical because of the steps but it is very easy, once you get your phone into download mode its a breeze. PLEASE HAVE A FULL CHARGE WHEN YOU DO ANY FLASHING. If your phone dies you can have serious problems during the flash.
thank you all, I am going to try these once I get my internet restored.... this is kinda agony since my t1 line died....

Just an update, Forced it to work with SGS kernel, it put up a huge fight tho... after CWM was installed i got GingerReal 2.3.5 on there. I iz happeh

Kies Failure

After painstaking deliberation, they had reached the decision to eat gingerbread. Cautious and deliberate by nature, they opted to install stock 2.3.6 using Kies, presumably the safest choice. KB5 had been having a hard time connecting to the pc via usb with debugging active - no choice was given how to connect to pc, and Kies was not recognizing the phone. Finally bypassing the usb hub allowed Kies to recognize the device, and after a long download, a usb error message flashed up and process failed. Removed phone battery and reboot, all is well but SCREW KIES
Odin from now on
Probably the most creative thing I've seen here all night. Kudos to you my friend!

Downloaded the stock ODIN version of GB 2.3.6 KJ6 .tar here to flash via ODIN but phone will not connect via usb at all now. I think I reverted it's firmware back to the paleolithic era somehow. Could someone share the link the newest ODIN? I have v1.85 and I think also 4.03?
Unless anyone has any ideas, looks like CWM may be my only chance. How can I upgrade firmware if the method used to update is inoperable? Whenever I go into download mode it will not connect with USB. Instead windows says
"USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached tho this compter has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. For help with this problem, click here."
Great bricked in a factory reset version of kb5 ugh. And this all happened because I tried to use stupid Kies!
Son of a ginger biscuit I figured out why it would not connect it was the 6 FOOT CORD I had hooked up for convenience it WILL NOT GO INTO ODIN OR KIES without the original 3' cord wow
Don't know if it was related to the Kies failure or not but now I am up and running though I cannot flash any .zip with cwm, says signature not verified, and I cannot find a toggle, I have 2.3.6 running now, rooted with super one click zerg, recovery 3e, is there a difference between "rom manager" and "cwm"?? How do I fix this I'd like to install the custom debloater .zip... upgraded from kb5

Definitely stay away from ROM Manager, from what I've read. You're getting that signature verification error probably because the phone now has standard recovery vs. CWM. That's an assumption on my part, though. You would have to ODIN one of Drhonk's modded kernels that comes with voodoo/cwm/root to get CWM installed. Within the standard recovery there is not a place to toggle the signature verification.
Considering you're on KJ6 now, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 and grab drhonk's KJ1 kernel. Put it into the PDA section of ODIN and flash it. Then you'll have CWM.

I had the same issue when I first started. ROM Manager is an app used to download & install custom ROMs, make backups, etc., but it does not work correctly on our phones. "CWM" (as used in the context of the SGS4G) is the custom recovery menu we install to do basically the same things. Anyway, follow stephen_w's instructions to install a custom kernel and that will solve your issues.
Awesome response stephen_w. A link! So much info out there I'm compiling a small database but when I need something it's usually back to search!
I was up and running KJ6, trying to install .zip files from root of sd card using cwm. Did not work - error was E:\ signature verification failed
So, decide to ODIN back to KB5, and try to load cwm, upgrade via cwm, and see if there was a glitch there. Did not work. Upon ODINING back to KB5, download screen has different look, and phone bootloops at Galaxy S logo. I'm about to ODIN flash 2.3.6 again and hope that it works....
This all started because Kies failed (presumably due to length of cord) the KJ6 from Raver that I ODIN'd in I THOUGHT was all stock actually came with CWM and super user preloaded. CWM did not recognize su.apk in the root and was therefore less functional. I fixed permissions and the error went away, but many icons were still greyed out. I wanted to bring back my apps/data from rom manager backup, but my recovery would not work. It would not open the .zip files, and there was no toggle to enable/disable signature verify. This may have been because I did not buy the pay version of CWM, or I don't know how to use it properly. Do you have to somehow flash the recovery to enable CWM? Is there a particular recovery designed for KJ6 SGS4G??
Also, what is the "bootloader update" option for in ODIN?

Weird; I've not had the signature verification error with CWM, only with the standard recovery.
When you went back to KB5 you went from a Gingerbread (GB) ROM to a Froyo ROM. Froyo & GB require different boot loaders so if the ROM you flashed did not have both boot loaders, then you get stuck in a boot loop. Going back to KJ6 will probably get you going again.
This all started because Kies failed (presumably due to length of cord) the KJ6 from Raver that I ODIN'd in I THOUGHT was all stock actually came with CWM and super user preloaded.

I thought Raver's ODIN version of KJ6 was pure stock. I didn't think it had CWM or Superuser.
I wanted to bring back my apps/data from rom manager backup, but my recovery would not work.

You might have problems recovering to GB ROMs. This is due to an error in CWM for GB. The problem prevents the /system partition from unmounting. From what I've been told, you have to flash back to a Froyo ROM, like Bali, to do the recovery then flash back to the GB ROM afterward. Not sure if that's your problem here, though, as I've never used ROM Manager.
It would not open the .zip files, and there was no toggle to enable/disable signature verify. This may have been because I did not buy the pay version of CWM, or I don't know how to use it properly.

I've never paid for a version of CWM. I've always used one of drhonk's modded kernels to get CWM. Installing the KJ1 kernel I mentioned earlier should do that for you.
Also, what is the "bootloader update" option for in ODIN?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My best ODIN advice: Let ODIN decide what needs to be checked and what should not. I've not used the "Phone Bootloader Update" feature. Don't go anywhere near the "Phone EFS Clear", either. I've a feeling that would wipe out your IMEI and other things.
See if you can get Raver's ODIN Stock KJ6 to install, then install drhonk's KJ1 kernel. Once done, reboot into recovery mode and see if it is CWM Red recovery, which is should be. Note the version number at the top and report it back here.
If all of that works well and the right version of CWM is there, then maybe we need to examine what ZIP you're trying to flash. Maybe it's a corrupt file.
Thank you very much, succesfully flashed GB 2.3.6 KJ6, succesfully flashed Drhonks KJ1, had a hard time entering recovery boot mode

Disabled voodoo and I'm about to load up busy box, (CWM i.e. rom manager???) per the instructions......
UPDATE 20:02 ownloaded "rom manager", re-enabled VOODOO, rebooting. I think I get what's going on here. The file system is being reformatted / partitioned every time voodoo is enabled/disabled. I'm assuming the enabled mode is ext4 partitioning. However, cwm must be installed during fat32 mode, thus the reasoning for enable/disable voodoo. Can't wait to try this out, is it really faster than stock KJ6?? Love the look and feel of the rom already!

Yeah, since being on GB I've been unable to get into recovery unless I use an app like Quick Boot or using ADB from the Android SDK.
Rom Manager and CWM, to my knowledge, are different animals. Good luck getting it going; it sounds like your 95% of the way there.
Heck yea workin good now to restore those apps I lost and debloat and play with boot animations!!!
UPDATE: Just also flashed via CWM .zip the debloater file, SWEET
Bloatware remover flashed with cwm works awesome, just browse to find the .zip doesn't even need to be in root dir
So far no noticeable deficiencies and without even installing app killer I have 165 used and 343 megs of ram free!!
I'm about to try to backup progs using rom manager, but when I click "backup/restore" it tells me I have to flash clockwork mod, which I'm pretty sure is already flashed??

When in doubt take the battery out! (to dinner)
UPDATE: I want to make a total phone backup (of all my current settings) using rom manager. When I go to "backup current ROM" it says cwm needs to be installed and gives me options for several phones, including the i9000. Should I do this even though cwm red is already installed on my phone? Need a workaround here...

ROM manager doesn't work on the SGS4G. Your best bet right now is titanium backup, or flashing the bali kernel for 2.2 if you want to make a full backup using cwm recovery.

rooting with odin?

I have a HTC Thunderbolt and im familar with rooting. Im getting a Samsung Droid Charge in a couple of weeks. I downloaded odin and the usb drivers for the phone. Do i just wipe the phone, put the phone in download mode, load any EE4 based rom and wipe after reboot? I can't find the altered beast rom because the feds jacked the megaupload servers.
thanks
If you just want root, all you need to do is flash CWM from odin, then boot right into cwm and flash the SU Binary.
You really don't want EE4. EE4 is Froyo based. ED4 is the latest release. Right now there are 3 roms based on it: Tweakstock, Infinity, and Eclipse. You are going to be way, way happier with any of them than you will be with anything EE4 based.
I am running tweak myself, but I believe if you look around you will find a rooted stock version of gb to use and yeah you just flash it in Odin and boot right into cwm

Copy the Eclipse file to your SD card first, and if you want to run a kernel (I recommend PBJ), copy it to the SD card as well. Use Odin to flash CWM (any version works, as long as it's one of the Charge Odin files). After that, pull your battery back out and put it back in, then boot directly into CWM by holding Home+VolUp+Power. If you let it boot normally, it will overwrite CWM with stock recovery. Using your volume buttons as arrow keys and your power button as select, wipe data/factory reset, then install from zip and select the rom file, and then, if you chose to flash a kernel, do the same for the kernel. Reboot and you should come up in your new rom. It will probably take a few minutes to boot the first time while it rebuilds the caches.

I can't seem to find the CWM odin package and the PBJ.zip to flash in CWM. Do you know where i can get these files?

I still recommend the old 0817 yellow CWM if people intend to nandroid backup/restore. That functionality seems to be hit or miss with the newest release.

This package includes:
Repartitioning: Repartition to stock UCLB3
Reloading: IBL/PBL, PARAM, SBL, SBL2, Kernel, Recovery, FactoryFS and modem
formatting:Cache and DBdata
This package does not wipe:
EFS(Where your serial number and carrier information is stored)
Data(where your market apps are stored)
SDCard (where your pictures are stored)
How can you use this package?
1. To cleanly install the latest ATT Infuse UCLB3 Gingerbread leak. No hassle One-Click. Then enjoy the lastest leak of Infuse GB.
2. To Restore your phone to factory state.
3. To Restore your phone from boot loops, Samsung Logo, Soft Brick - non-hardware related failures from bad flashes, borked partitions or mismatch voodoo partitions. (I suspect many users will use it for this purpose)
4. To Get GingerBread Boot Loaders and get rid the the rainbow color recoveries when you try to flash ICS/CM9/CM10/JB
Scenario #1: Oh, gosh! I would love to have the latest GB leak from AT&T! How to I do that? What in the world is Odin? Ain't it some mythological Norse deity?
Heimdall 1 click - done!
Scenario #2: I think I did something to my phone. It's not working right. My wifi is dropping like a leaky faucet. My Market is not working. I hate my phone! I wish it was like factory.
Heimdall 1 click - done!
Scenario #3: Oh crap! I just #@#% in my pants! I bricked my phone. OMG!!! I'm stuck on SAMSUNG logo! I'm boot looping! I lost recovery! Help me!!!
Heimdall 1 click - done.
How to INSTALL:
Update to the latest java: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Run as admin.
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and (8.21.2012:edit for clarification), try flashing it again. Use a different USB port, use a different usb data cord.
7 Try flashing again until it is successful. Once it goes through correctly, flash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.

Recovery Kernel
RECOVERY:
(6/4/2012 - READ POST #3 ALSO)
After you have flashed the UCLB3, some of you may want to have Red ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery to flash another ROM.
Put your phone back into DOWNLOAD mode after your phone has booted up.
Flash this package. It is Entropy512's DD kernel. It will boot your phone completely.
Once the phone has booted into stock ROM, use the three fingers technique to get into recovery.
When in CWM:
I recommend the following to get the cleanest flash that has not failed me.
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Advance: wipe dalvik cache.
4 Go back and into Mount and Storage: format system, format data, format cache.
5. Go back to main and flash your ROM.
Recovery Mode: Power off, hold both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. Samsung logo should come on. Let go only the power button, Keep holding the volumes buttons for 12-15 seconds and let go.
ENTROPY512's 4.4.2012 kernel.

Optional recovery
Zen's Kernels for RECOVERY
This post contains links to Zen's Kernel Packed in Heimdall-1-click.
These can be installed in DOWNLOAD MODE.
They can be flashed just like Entropy's DD.
How are these different? Here is Zen Arcade's Thread:
In essence, there are 2 cores. A16 and B14.
The A16 can be overclocked to 1600mhz.
The B14 can be overclocked to 1400mhz.
Both are custom kernels design to run Gingerbread on your Infuse. They have clockworkmod, cifs, MHL HDMI output and many other features.
Check out Zen Arcade's original thread.
How are these used?
1. If you have a stock GB UCLB3 and you want to root it, flash this in download mode. Nothing else is needed. After that, you can flash my root pack, HERE.
2. If you want to flash a custom ROM. After you have odin or heimdall a GB stock package with bootloaders, and you need CWM recovery, you can flash any one of these kernels and then boot into recovery and then flash your ROM. You don't need to root anything or 3e anything. Just flash the kernel, boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
**To eliminate any voodoo or no lagfix file system problem, I recommend that you locate on your SDCARD the /Voodoo folder or files and delete them. Then the kernel will auto convert your system to EXT4 VOODOO LAGFIX ON.**
I suspect many SOD's are caused by lagfix mismatch.
3. If you want to OC or UV your CPU/GPU, you can also use these kernels on whatever GB ROM you are running.

Nice to have. This is plain stock and not rooted/deodexed version...correct?
Hay the heimdall also i recall had a one click Root and clock work installer as well. Any chance we can make that for this UCLB3 as well ?
BTW im adding this to the infuse thread

STOCK ATT UCLB3. Factory with RE-partition.
Consider it as a soft unbrick heimdall substitute to Adam's UCKJ4.
Also as an easy installation for complete stock official ATT's ROM
Once people learn how to use Heimdall, they will appreciate the simplicity of the one click by Adam Outler.

it should boot into uclb3.
then use entropy kernel to get cwm. follow instructions in post #2. the flash what you what.

[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 ****
I997UCLB3-root.rar
Features in this version
- Stock kernel
- Stock recovery
- Rooted
******* OPTION B *******
I997UCLB3-root-deodex.rar

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!

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.

Yeah, when I was using UCLB3 (on CM9 now), I had it deodexed and preferred it that way.

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.

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.

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.

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.
