[Q] [q] anyone try i9000 roms?

i know the kernel and param.ifs are not compatable but has anyone flased a galaxy s rom with an infuse kernel? even on 2.2.1?
im curious if a gs gb rom would run on the infuse if we used a rogers based kernel. it seems sinse the rogers rom on an american phone has broken mhl anyway, why not try it? you could get call recording and other features and endless themes if it works.

Give it a shot lol when you brick it, give gtg's ultimate unbrick a try. At least you still have the manufacturers warranty if its totally dead. Its been stated in several posts that this will not work.

Flashing a ROM that includes a kernel will clearly not work... But possibly removing all modem and kernel updates and JUST flashing /system... hmm... Not likely, but a system-only flash is the only thing likely to work.
But I'm sure someone would've tried CM7 userland-only already if that were the case.
Shouldn't need Ultimate Unbrick if you keep a CWM kernel.

Nope. Tried.
SGS II also.

[Q] Root NS4G 2.3.7 without clockworkmod?

is there any way to just obtain root access without having to install a custom recovery? I would like to just have root on stock

I think every time you reboot the phone your recovery will be set back to stock. You have to flash CWM every time you need to use it.

This is incorrect. Once you flash a custom recovery it is there to stay unless you remove it. Now on too the real point. Why would you want to root and not have a custom recovery? The point of having root access is to be able to gain access to things you can't unrooted and top flash custom firmware, hacks, mods, etc. which you cannot do with stock recovery. Secondly why would you want to stay on stock gingerbread when there are TONS of beautiful ICS roms to run. If you really want to be stock then root and flash a deodexed stock ROM. If not try MIUI or a tweaked out ICS ROM.

This is MIUI and it's beautiful.
Anyways...If your problem is with CWM in general then flash TWRP (great UI and all touch input) as far as rooting check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17300587 there are how to videos and what not. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9919944 for everything you need to get your phone connected to your computer (drivers, etc.) And here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21968928 for different recoveries.
Trust me, rooting and flashing custom firmware is the best thing you can do for your NS4G and is safe as long as you always follow instructions and keep a good stable nandroid backup just in case.

There is great support here in our forums. If you have troubles or questions with anything it's just a post away to ask. We're all pretty nice here. Lol. Mostly.

Its not that I am afraid to flash, I constantly flash roms but i am most comfortable with gingerbread and was wondering if i can just have it rooted without a custom recovery because I dont want to flash any other roms for the time being.

Only if you install a custom ROM. The stock ROM reflashes the stock recovery on every boot.
It can be disabled by removing or renaming /system/etc/install-recovery.sh though.

Firmware upgrade encountered
as issue. Please select
recovery mode in kies and try again.
I used odin to try and flash again, i used one click flash, and I reinstalled all my drivers, checked my usb connection and even tried a different computer. I cannot restore my phone. I was on stock ginger bread but not sure which one.
I go into download mode manually, i slect up, and i get back to the same screen as on top w no result.
Help plz. $20.00 donation to who can help me crack this...i really need it fixed, thx.

I also tried to use klies. it didnt work. computer does read the phone as the yellow shows on odin. But everytime i try to flash something it starts, then fails.

Can you still transfer stuff over Odin, or is your computer not picking it up at all?
Also, are you using Desktops or Laptops to Odin?

This thread is epic. I would've reported it if there was a report button :-(

I love threads like this(where the answer is actually in the OP's question) reported for clean up
P.S. I, too, run into problems when trying to run "klies"

Yeah....not a noob

[Q] Unbricked to newest 4.1.1 release, now unrooted on SCH-i535 Verizon

I unbricked my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
It gave me a choice of factory stock roms to install during the recovery:
Step 2: Download one of the Factory Stock roms below to your pc:
VRBLJ1 4.1.1- http://www.myandroidfiles.com/open1y..._WIPE).tar.md5 (This is a Verizon Leak, but damn its smooth!)

I opted for the 4.1.1 newly leaked version. This is now my "About Device" pic:

So, now my phone appears as if it came with JB out of the box. I have no root and it's running smooth as butter! Love, love, love it.
Can someone describe the current state of my phone? I know that sounds like a stupid question -- and it likely is -- but I can't understand how I have JB yet not rooted.
And two issues I need help resolving:
1) USB connection to my Mac. I used to have some issues on out-of-the-box ICS but Android File Transfer app solved those issues. Now that doesn't even pick up the connection.
2) Wifi Tethering. If there is a rooted solution for my setup, I need to if root guides are safe to follow with the current state of my phone.
-Obviously a newb... but lots of love and respect to the developers out here who make life so much easier for all of us normal folk.

I'm running 4.1.1 too and love it. I'm not rooted either or unlocked.
Android file transfer no longer works with the GS3. I have a Mac too and I'm not happy that I can't transfer files easily.
A lot of people on these forums will tell you about alternatives but honestly, they all suck. Android file transfer was amazing. Only thing we can hope for is a new version from Google...

i guess i can use bluetooth for the one off file transfers. But if down the road I need to get in there for more heavy lifting I'll need to fix that.
Most importantly though - no wifi tether on 4.1.1 for Verzon gs3's ?

I got the other issues fixed except google search is not returning a voice response.

Make sure to backup internal sd and ONLY use the full wipe versions in odin.

Hi! If u r using Odin for the 1st time, then it's obvious that there has been some mistakes. Flash froyo 2.2.1 (4package firmware)of ur country (Indonesia) coz it contains bootloader. If ur phone becomes fine then u can flash Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Indonesian).
Remember: Use Odin 4.38 & ops file should be named like: Beni_v1.0.ops & install Samsung mobile drivers. Disable kies,antivirus & firewall.
Good luck...!!:thumbup:

We are talking about the S5670 here, right?
How comes you have an encryption option - what rom are you using?
I use cm 10.1.4 and there is no such option.
