Not sure what happen in that post.
What you can do is flash cwm recovery, use the cwm backup of the 1.84.
Once done you can flash back TWRP recovery again and make a backup of your phone using TWRP recovery.
A little long process but should work since there's not a TWRP backup of 1.84.

Dont forget to fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the firmware pack available somewhere around here...updated radio, wifi, kernel and dsp images that won't flash with CWR.
cwr 5.8.3.1 is now available thru Rom Mgr if you don't have fastboot
nandroid will restore all but radio if you want a different radio then you have--that is true for cwr or twrp
so barring radio--which is a whole different set of procedures--it still should take only 15 minutes
less time than all these posts took--

First off, You did NOT post in the right section, you posted in General and you should have posted in Q&A.
Secondly this thread is useless and as such will be closed, however.....
Lastly, I don't know why exactly it was closed, but I will reopen the original thread and contact the mod that closed it to see what his reason was.

Hi all.
Perhaps this is a newbie query but here you go.
I've been flashing stock rooted OTA's from the beginning, and always chose Odexed over Deodexed I suppose because of file size. Now, I'm looking to diversify and have the ability to theme etc.
Can I flash a deodexed over an odexed rooted 4.53.651.1 OTA with out data loss?
I assume I can just wipe dalvik, and cache then apply yes?
The specific thread I'm referring to is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17642327&postcount=1
As I'd like to incorporate this with out flashing an entirely new rom. I'm cool with stock rooted goodness.
Thanks!!
This is not a question board
This is not a question board. Might want to post that HERE
I don't think you can flash a deodexed over odexed...reason being the deodexed ROM will just overwrite the current files without removing the .odex files from the system...
But you could probably get away with it it you wiped System, Dalvik and Cache (keeping Data) before flashing the Deodexed ROM. I have always wiped System before flashing a ROM just as a precaution but I believe flashing a ROM already does that.

Excuse bigdee. Some people just get frustrated with the fact that people post questions in the development section when there is a questions and answers section the same place one will find development. Others assume people read the forum rules and investigate the forum structure before posting. I wouldn't say he was moderating, more so informing you of where to post questions so threads like these don't end up where they are not supposed to.
Hope you understand

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.

Good morning. Let me try to help you out... There are a ton of detailed instructions in the forum for your device. Below I am giving you the link to the General forum. Check out the thread titles to find the things you're looking for, and definitely read the stickies at the top of the forum. Nobody is going to retype everything that's already right there, but there are helpful people who will answer questions if you have them after reading the guides for yourself first. Check 'em out:

If you haven't rooted the device and it has Android on it then you are on the stock ROM right now. So, follow any of the guides written out for your device (link above), which will tell you how to first root the device, then to install something called Clockworkmod Recovery ("CWM" it will be called), and then to make a backup of your stock ROM ("nandroid" it will be called). From that point you can read more about custom ROMs and start to have fun. Read first though, trust me. It's worth the time to make sure you don't brick the thing by doing something you shouldn't have.
Enjoy.
thanks a lot friend i ll try it for sure

you can find it on galaxy s2 subforum for custom rom, custom recovery and root tools
if you have installed the custom recovery and root, do a nandroid back up of your current ROM (system, boot, data) in case you want to go back to your old rom

*Yeah right...you cannot insult people and then saying 'no mean to insult'. Just letting you know smartypants... I dont say this to insult you...as you say
Thread given in link was far to complicated and needed TO MUCH search (my opinion). I found the file to another thread. By saying root file I mean the file I need to root my phone. I found a file called SU or smthng like that. Thank you though mate.
I figured that I might post this to help some people as I see this posted a lot.
Are you one of the ones that tried to install a custom recovery on the MF3 update? Are you facing a never ending boot sequence or device just freezing at boot screen?
Try this to help you get a normal boot so your phone is at least usable. (Note that your factory recovery will no longer work!)
First off, do a battery pull.
After you put the battery back in (make sure it's not plugged up) go into download mode.
Click Cancel instead of continuing into download mode. Chances are your device will boot up normal. I've tried this with a device I own and also tried it on a few others (through PM and chat online).
If this works for you please let me know!
Lol I figured this out in 2 mins of owning the phone.

If you're stuck in download mode and cannot get to your OS, I think that counts as a brick! Yes, btw, post 11 in the first thread I linked shows the solution which I have been telling others to do...which you did us the favor of making a post about as well. I agree that it's good to make this post, though I think your thread title could be more useful if you edited it.
Also, should this method not work for some people, an alternative method is a good thing to have.

Your current thread title makes it sound like you tried to flash a custom recovery on MF3 and it didn't work. There's no way anyone would read that title and think there's a "How To" guide in it.
