I just have a quick question. Im on rogers and I was wondering which radio would I flash(uxfl3 im assuming)? And the add-ons, would i flash them through odin like i would a recovery tar? And would that radio work on all roms? I aslo flashed a recovery file to return to stock GB but it was by this guy k0nan or something but i heard it trips a flash counter or something. What does that do and there is this thing called flashcounter reset.zip or something and would i flash that like an add on or something?

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.

Sorry if I'm being harsh here, but judging by your post count, you've been posting around on XDA for a while. Do you not know how to search? There's plenty of threads out there.

If you used Odin and flashed a kernel that has cwm then yes you can flash from that cwm recovery.
Check the development section for drhonks kernels thread and odin KJ1 with Voodoo and CWM. Its rooted, and will have CWM for you.
As for which ROM is best...
No.
Its pretty much impossible to answer that question. We have a few really good ROMs and its all personal preference. I would personally suggest trying out SimplySimple, INCINB, Octane or Valhalla.
Its a toss up, theyre all great.

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.

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 feel bad posting this, because it's such a noob question. I've done quite a bit of searching, but everything I've found assumes you already know how to do it.
How, exactly, do I update my radio? I don't even know what that means, let alone how to do it. I just know that I need to update my radio to l272ULCE (that was from memory, forgive any mistakes) to use cyanogenmod 9. I don't know where I would find an update, and if I did I wouldn't know how to install it.
Thanks for reading this. Sorry I can't find it myself.

A radio can be flashed (updated) in recovery just like any other flashable zip. Radios, unlike kernels, are not packaged in with a rom zip so if you're flashing between roms that require different radios, you'll have to manually flash the radio as well. Here's the link to the ucle2 radio from the dev section:

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!

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.

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
