ROM: i9003XXKPH (Gingerbread 2.3.4)
CSC: SER
PIT: latona_20110114
Date: 2011 August 9
Thanks to Aaditya for the resumable dl link, mjbri0613 & Sine for the mirrors.
This is the flash procedure I followed and everything is fit & fine (you might flash another way and it could work as many have tried, this is just how I did it):
Flash procedure:
- Flashed clean XXKPE. Factory reset and flashed KPH as PDA.
- Flashed the Battery_Fix KPE CWM and rooted using SOC 1.9.1. That version seems to work flawlessly everytime. (Its advisable to flash a XXKPH CWM and root without all the PDA hopping.)
- Flashed the normalboot.img from KPH.
- Deodexed using xUltimate 2.8
- Restored user apps with TB.
- Flashed amit's XXKPE CWM (No longer available. Use Skin's "CWM only" for XXKPH from his thread.)
Please leave feedback on the specifics after you're updated. If you have questions on how to update etc, go to the respective threads.
I request everyone not to crowd this thread with posts not directly related to this ROM or its feedback.
Enjoy!

Initial feedback:

2> From Me.
3> From chipwizz
MODS:
1> 5Lockscreens + CRT + Glow + AOSP UI for i9003XXKPH - HERE

How so? It just says i9003 ROM, no mention of custom anywhere. Its just the standard "syntax" on XDA.

LOL. I saw it was there but neither had samfirmware picked it up nor had anyone of us started a thread. So, I thought "why not?" and notified samfirmware and started a feedback thread.
You know I never do threads otherwise.
This should be one of the final releases (there will be more region-wise). It came up on KIES, so has to be a final release.
And congrats on the new job mate!

No, what I meant was - as it was released on KIES, it has to the final official update. You can flash however you like. Anyway, ODIN is the only option. You cannot flash/update through KIES if its not specifically showing you the update when you have your device connected.

I think if we want to update it via kies we need to flashback to froyo.. So ODIN is the very best way!!
I cant donload the firmware yet^^

ok guys, lets roll

Finished my download, waiting for ppl's feedback please plunging into flashing .

[Q] (Samsung Infuse) How do I install Roms that are RAR, Zip, etc.

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.

The bible will give you everything you will ever possibly need...

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.

Yea. That link you gave me is for fresh out the box t959v. After reading it a couple times. It doesnt have anything for rooted phones. I want to know how to upgrade with a already rooted phone with froyo to gingerbread.

You need the KJ6 Heimdall One-Click. The guide for it is in the second post in that same thread. Look again.
Or click the second link in my signature.

It doesn't really matter whether your phone is rooted or not, that's the beauty of these phones. Just follow lumin's instructions and you'll be set.

He can't use Kies mini because he is rooted. I think he only saw the guide in the first post and that is why he thought it wouldn't work.

Which one would i use? Bootloader or non bootloader? Again.... thanks for all the information. It is highly appreciated.

You need the one with the bootloader becuz the froyo bootloader doesnt work so well with the gingerbread rom.

Link to Stock, non rooted image?

All the links in the stickied topic are dead links, and every google search yields nothing but the root 66 stock ROOTED image sadly. Does anyone happen to have a link handy for the stock, non rooted image of the VZW S3?
Thank you!

Not sure how linking to another forum that is a lot smaller then the one he is in will help. But anyways here is the kernel. http://d-h.st/oyU

I understand. I remember pulling the modem from RootzWiki per another thread on here, but could not find that thread. Plus the one you sent is blocked here at work....like a lot of things.
