I recently have a problem with my Rogers infuse. I searched the internet, and even ask this via PM from another person who have the same problem, but no solution. Here is my problem:
During one of my recovery attempts, I flashed a ATT ROM using Odin which also includes the infuse.pit file. After that, the initial logo of ROGERS which was shown in the beginning is gone. I later installed ROGERS rom, but the logo is still not there.
I had full nandoird backups before that, but restoring none of them solved the problem. Is it possible for one of the people who have a ROGERS infuse to create a full back (using heimdall) and share the .pit file and the different partitions (mainly non system and non data partitions)?
I could not find any complete ROGERS rom. Although there are some complete ATT roms (such as SGH_I997-UCKE3-Stock-Noboot-One-Click ), there is no one for ROGERS.

I believe you can use any of the ATT STOCK Firmware but under the APN, just put in Roger's network for connection.
Roger's natively start at 2.3.3 GB.
Some of the Roger's users may have a stock version around in cyberspace

Thanks for your reply. However, as I said, my problem is not the ROM. I installed a ATT Full recovery ROM that includes the .pit file, and I think a series of partitions other than system and data. So although I reinstall a Rogers ROM, I still have no initial ROGERS logo in boot up, and instead, it shows a random series of lines. I have no other problem in the functionalities of the phone.

that's because you flashed an att param.ifs. you must have used a froyo unbrick package. i dont know if there is a rogers dump with param.ifs but there are captivate threads (old ones) that have tools to change that splash screen and i have heard it works on the infuse but the mod never became popular around here. if i were you i'd flash an att rom and modem with a custom kernel,(better camera performance, and better battery life) change the apn and then change the splash and boot animation to something cool! unless of coarse you are worried about the warranty. if you are worried about insurance just report the thing missing...

I tried to flash att roms, but they never boot after flash. That was why I return to Rogers rom, and now I am using ICS. Could you provide more detail about those splash screen changing tools? And also, is there anyone here with an Rogers Infuse that can send me the param.ifs file from his phone?
Mine's a Rogers Infuse and I'm sure at one point I used an unbrick package that changed my splash screen from Rogers to At&t.
If I remember correctly, I used Odin and a "return to stock" which brought back my Rogers splash screen.
I'll try and track down the package I used...

Thanks for the link. I had tested this one. It did not solve my problem. I think that my phone's param.lfs partition is overwritten by something else. I am mainly searching for for a heimdall stock. Is it possible for you to create a backup using heimdall, and send it to me?

Hey, pd0gg.
We can try to put together a heimdall for Rogers' users.
If you have odin'ed to rogers stock, flash an insecure gb kernel (bedwa, zen, entropy..doesn't matter which one) and run adb or terminal to get access to system files.
this shows you how to dump the partition:

#Mount The /system folder as RW so we can read and write to it

Use the lines above. The other parts doesn't apply.
Pull the pit file from the unbrick or any of the 1 click package.
Make up the 1click from the op.
The other option would be to pull the data from the odin tar and put them into a 1 click
As Dani897 has stated though, I think it's really pointless as the Roger's Firmware is inferior. No hdmi or Hd video etc...using the att firmware, change out the boot screen and add roger's apn is a better idea.

The one-click has been generated; however, I have not had a chance to test it. It's been a busy day and I simply ran out of time.
As an aside, I had never even looked at Heimdall until I responded to this thread. I can see now why folks use it and recommend it

Dani897 has already made a discussion of this, but I'm moving this information over as an official post in the Infuse 4G section as well.
This is from existz/untermensch's thread. I take no credit. See here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
Making this modification will allow you to flash un-signed .zip files due to signature verification being turned off. (3e requires root)
* Download and extract the .zip
* Use a terminal emulator or ADB Shell and mount system as read/write.
* For backup purposes, use adb or root explorer to rename the current recovery file in /system/bin to recovery.orig
* Use a file manager (Root Explorer) and copy the new recovery file to /system/bin
* Reboot and your 3e (Froyo stock) recovery will no longer require signature checking.
You can now use this recovery or use the CWM from Captivate (posted in another thread here).
I am not responsible if this bricks your phone. This is easy cheese...just follow these steps.

Dani, i completely agree. If you notice, I made mention of your testing at the top of the article.
Now that there is a dedicated thread, its much more likely to be realized that this works FINE. I think once I get a tester for the Odin package I slapped together to get us back to stock in case we brick, and get it successfully setup, i'll put a thread out and we can REALLY get to work on some ROMs.
So far, this phone's software is nearly identical to the Captivate, meaning we will just need to port from the Captivate and we will have a mass of ROMs in no time!

as soon as we get some kernel dev on this thing i agree. porting will be easy. thanks for the write ups too. are you planning to get a second phone? i would test if i had two of them. my captivate will go to my brother, if it weren't for that id have probably bricked it and begged some people to try making new odin packages for me to fix it.
i understand that after a brick the user hates not having the phone and may be very tempted to return it but it is helpful to everyone to try all you can to recover it. if mine bricks im using the insureance plan and saying it was stolen, then i will have a dedicated test phone.
I have an Atrix as well, but would prefer someone who may have already bricked to try this package that i wrote up this morning.
I dont mind someone wanting to swap.their phone...but i literally need about an hour or two of time with the brick's user and its very likely that we will have working Odin....and then you and i...as well as others... can do kernel and rom deving nearly immediately. We have source already, so we only need to test this safety net . PM me if you find someone who is bricked or is willing to test!!

I have a bricked Infuse im not sure what caused the crash. I was running stock rooted by the super one click method and was uninstalling an app when it went all black except the bottom keys. Doesnt do much of anything else now. I attempted an odin fix someone suggested to no avail. I can get into download mode still but nothing else. Id be willing to try anything to unbrick it .
it's working for me, I unzipped, put the file in my dropbox, downloaded the file on phone from dropbox, used root explorer to mount, (I'm already rooted) copied the file, went to system/bin, renamed the original, then pasted the new file, rebooted, flashed CWM to captivate, and rebooted into recovery, and it works. I still have my HTC Inspire, i'm on a 30 day run here to see if i like the infuse. So far it's the best GPS i've had, and i've had a lot of phones. I hate to think I spent 600 bucks on a another captivate. I had that phone as well, but so far i really like it.

dont do that. you dont want the captivate param.ifs on here. you may loose download mode if the boot parameters get messed up. especially dont flash anything with bootloaders, that means no one click nad no 3-button fix roms. this may be similar to the galaxy s but there are atleast a few differences in hardware layout that would make that a bad idea. for instance this can run gps and camera during phone calls. the sgs cant so the way things comunicate on the board may be differet, it may also just be differences in the kernel or framework but we cant be sure.

Sweet! So the dump was good then it sounds like. So just to sum it all up, odin the pda tar and it restores and wipes EVERYTHING!
Woops! AND DEODEXED!!?!?
I'm pretty new to all of this, but here is how I did it. Make sure you have busybox installed!
Extract the "recovery" file to your phone's internal SD card.
On your phone, go into your terminal emulator.
Type in "su" and press enter.
Type in "cd /sdcard" and press enter.
Type in "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system"
Type in "cp -f recovery /system/bin" and press enter.
Reboot your phone.
Maybe this will help someone. Maybe it's not even the right way to do this, and my phone will soon explode. I'm a pretty big noob with this, so someone let me know.
PS: If you brick your phone, it isn't my fault.
Hi I came from iPhone 4 and like 2days owning this infuse, I am trying to follow gtg465x to install his ROM, I am done with the rooting and his next step is to "install 3e recovery" now that I am here I am totally lost, I downloaded the file here my Questions are:
1.where do I extract the zip I donwloaded from here? From the SD card root?
2. What thing will I use Terminal emulator or ADB SHELL to make it read/write is that 2 an Android apps I'm lost here. I am trying to be careful, I searched and found too much post and way different doing this. So now I am confuse.
Can anybody tell me how it install 3e recovery the easy and idiot proof way, like I said I am new to android I really have no idea about everything, and most of them too are initial I don't even know what the initials means. Anyone? Thanks

I came from an iphone as well, about 2 weeks ago. I used the method posted in my previous reply. It worked for me, and has been doing fine so far. One thing you must do is make sure busybox is installed before you try it though. If you dont have busybox installed, none of the commands will work. Then just download "Terminal Emulator" from the market, and use that to give commands.

Yup was thinking that it would be a good idea for us to keep the versions in the event we may find issues with the new deltas.
Based on the PIT info on the stl device these were what we need for being able to flash future radios as well. Ie controlled updates.

Also, after looking at imnut's instructions on making a backup there's a conflct in the stl numbers you gave. stl11 appears to be /dbdata, not the cpmodem.
I posted the EE4 pit and dd -h of the phone in the other thread if you want to check them out.
We were never able to dump the radio files from the phone on the Fascinate. I wouldn't be suprised if the same applies here. What we need is a source, preferably one who can provide a full Odin package for any one of the official builds.

There was a fellow in the i9000 forums who was pumping out leaked ROMs from Samsung like a madman. I always suspected he was a Samsung employee. I wonder if he might be able to help us out. I'll see if he's still around and ask him.
Alright, after taking a look at the vibrant forums, i noticed that they have CWM3 flashable modems, so it must be possible.
I extracted the tar file of an EC05 Modem and of course, all that's inside is the .bin file. I extracted a modem from the vibrant's 'old' cwm3 flashable files. I also found a batch operation that makes update zip files flashable via cwm3. with some guesswork and a little luck, I created two EC05 Modems, the first is my attempt, and the second is with a few extra files that i think are responsible for modems installing via cwm exclusively. Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted on my success. (hopefully not brick) If all goes well, I want to create CWM Flashables of all of our modems. wish me luck.
Edit: No dice with the ones I made.. Still looking for a way.
This would make it a lot easier to switch modems. Hopefully you can figure it out and not brick your phone! Thanks.
Greater men have tried, flashing modems us usually done with bmlwrite or redbend_ua. But they don't work for us...modem is always corrupted or something. But, if you get this working, I shall eat my words lol

Yeah, they all seem to be using redbend_ua... I'm looking around and some say there are working and 'non-working' versions of redbend_ua..
Aha,
I've found a different method for flashing modems & i believe to be a working one, but i need to gtalk with an experienced dev or tester, as suggested in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290485
What is your method? I've tried it all...if you can pm me cwm flashables are easy
sent from my miui-ified epic
The thoughts were to actually flash a modem you needed source. When EC05 first came out some ROMs would update your modem from DK28 or EB13. This why all the leaked ROMs had to be Odin'd. It would be awesome if you found a method that worked on the Epic for those who can't get their phone to connect on the computer.
I just want to say Good Luck, and we're all counting on you!

I found a cwm deodexed eg22 zip on my desktop. Its setup slightly different from Deca's deodex cwm or other cwm roms I've seen. Its very blunt and straightforward with eg22 modem bin in it. I thought if there was a way to eliminate factoryfs with the flash still going through, it'd be around 30mb cwm flash, however I do not kno what is dispensable in the files. I'm thinking dummy files or somehow omitting most of the flash except the modem?
You should be able to delete all but the modem and the flash script right? Did not know there was any ROM that successfully flashed a GB modem.

I'm talking about the CWM flashable EG22 Deodexed I had found weeks back ago, ever since I cwm flashed that, I've been on EG22 baseband.. surprisingy I don't see a script anywhere...
Just an update, I'm halting any work until my BB cables come in.. I can't risk it with Samsung's Stock Cable.. computers don't recognize it anymore, much less odin. Lol they should be in Oct 11 the soonest, Oct 14 the latest.
i tried this a long time... i went many routes... the modem is protected and not flashable unless in download mode, bc its in nvram.. the flashable ones are just deltas, they load the differences then apply them on reboot..

They wrote the software that applies the delta, as well as the software that generates the delta... It's their proprietary format, do they have all of the specs because they created them...
Edit: to be accurate, I can't say they wrote every piece of the delta system (I don't know everything, trying not to come across like I think I do, lol). But they have components we don't, that they haven't shown an interest in releasing

DISCLAIMER:
The whole point of putting out Heimdall packages is to make flashing safer, faster and easier but please use some common sense and read before you wildly click on stuff. No one listed in this OP nor myself, God, Satan or any other being (Supreme deity or not) is responsible for what you do with these files. If you brick something, you did it, so man up and own your mistakes (and hopefully learn from them).
Epic Heimdall Packages:
The title should be self explanatory. Use these with Heimdall to flash your Epic back to stock or to flash CWM recovery. Do NOT re-partition unless you have an absolute good reason to (Like coming back from MTD and you know EXACTLY what you are doing). 99% of the time you will NOT need to re-partition.
Thanks to:
Nubecoder for putting these packages together
Drockstar and Rodderik for putting the purple CWM 3.1.0.1 together
Rodderik for hosting the devphone.org (Primary site and file mirror)
All I did was xfer some files and host the unlimited download server (files.devphone.org).

Big thanks to insanity213 for hosting the files for me (would cause too much BW on my server).
Now everyone can stop using Odin!!!
NOTE:: The EI22 package does not include the ei22 modem.
Also, there are no bootloaders in these packages, so I do not think you should ever re-partition with these.

I never could get heimdal to recognize the epic when plugged into my imac although I haven't tried with lion. Supposedly this there was a secondary boot loader bug that got fixed on most galaxy s variants with froyo but we epic owners never got it. Works great on my PC though.

So I'm running the deodexed "mostly stock" rom, and need to bring phone in for repair. Sorry, but I can't find a ton of info on Heimdall, and I just want to get stock rom and bootloader back on there before I get it fixed and get a new phone next month. So if I get into download mode, load up the SPH-D700_ripped_stock_EI22.tar file, and hit Flash > Start, then I'm good to go? Thanks to anyone who can help!

The bootloaders are not contained in these packages.
I doubt your bootloaders have been changed though, to my understanding they haven't changed in a while (or ever).
The only other thing would be the modem...
I need to add the EC05 modem to the EI22 package, so it is a nice and easy to flash the delta update zip in cwm to get updated.

I meant recovery, not bootloader. This should replace CWM with stock I'd imagine. I already have EI22 modem, wouldn't I want to keep that?

Yes it includes the stock recovery.
And yes you would want to keep the EI22 modem (since you already have it).

Thank you for this. I finally got around to un-rooting / returning my wife's phone to stock. Now I can take it into the Sprint store. This should be the default method to return rooted phone to stock in the wiki, as it is quite easy if you follow the Heimdall instructions.
Can this be used to go back to BML from MTD instead of Odin? I'm guessing not since we can't repartition but wanted to make sure.
Hey All,
Just read that the Note got a 4.03 leak http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/04/04/android-4-0-3-rom-leaks-for-samsung-galaxy-note/
The article says that "call quality is better and LTE signal is stronger" as reported by " some users"...
Am I correct that the note has enough similarities that DEVs here can cherry pick the good stuff (probably including their modem)?

I'll give it a shot after work (if I can get an ICS ROM successfully installed), but what's the install method if not CWM?
Can't look at the page to see if it's an Odin right now 'cause "Network Storage" is blocked here at the office.

It's just a zip of the two modems files from the I717 ICS ODIN tars. Easiest way to flash would be to push them to /sdcard and then use an adb shell to write them:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/amss.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=/sdcard/mdm.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
reboot
Make sure to backup your current modems or have the ICS one-click handy if you need to go back to the stock modems.
Got an ICS booted. Now I'll try the Note modem
OK I got Silver ICS working (sort of). A newer CWM (touch) made the difference and I was able to break out of the boot loop and wipe the caches and up came ICS.
As soon as I get it to settle down (couple reboots and maybe a kernel flash I'm guessing) from buzzing and force closes every time I do anything I'll try the UCLA5 modem from the Note.
Jamie
These att?
Please God let them work. I can't handle our ics leak radio any longer!
Well it doesn't look like I'm going to get to try the UCLA5 modem... I just can't get this ICS ROM to stop giving me "acore" FCs... every buttion I touch sets off another. I assume acore is Andriod Core? Whatever it is I need a more stable flavour of ICS before testing a modem or any test would be meaningless.
Going to restore my stock GB and call it a night because I don't want to be stuck without my phone all day tomorrow. Maybe I'll take a stab at it again on the weekend if I find a ROM that seems more solid on my phone.
