[tut] how to manually flash kernels - Samsung Infuse 4G

here is a youtube video i made on how to manually flash a kernel on your device, please note: if there is no boot.img file in your roms zip file then you will need to modify the updater script which is NOT included in this tutorial
also note: if anything goes wrong, i nor the any devs on this forum are responsible for any damage or any misshap that this may cause FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
Here is the video

Awesome! Although I myself know how to do this I know it will be highly useful for other infusers!

yeah, i thought so too, it just kinda came up when scott released his oc jb kernel no one knew what to do cuz he released it as a boot.img so i made this is hopes that someone can gain from it

with this work for the EVO LTE?

newb: SG Kernel Flasher?
The types of things discussed in this thread are outside my knowledge.
I have used SGS Kernel Flasher for swapping kernels in Froyo and GB.
I'm just curious to understand: is there something shown in the tutorial that can't be done with SGS Kernel Flasher?

it should be the proper method but i cant tell you with 100% certainty due to the fact that i dont own that device, but your free to try

sgs flasher does not do the same thing, it actually takes the kernel file and flashes it on its own, where as the method shown is installing it within a rom, now please note this tut was made for when you had to flash a kernel for jb (which jb one our devices doesnt work with sgs flasher)

[Q] MIUI , what if ...

Hi guys
I would appreciate if someone [dev] can give me some answers on this ...
Now that we have full CWM , thanks to the devs [@gtg465x]
How about following instructions to flash lastest MIUI for Galaxy S I9000 , using the actual installation guide > http://j.mp/iZSjlh , and try this ROM on the Infuse
Is the Galaxy S I9000 the closest phone [specs] we can have to try this ?
Some step(s) in that guide to be replaced or skipped ?
Worth to try it?
Would it work ?
Would I brick the phone?
I if brick it , would I still be able to un-brick using ODIN [back to factory]
TIA

Would be very interested in this as well, but not enough to try bricking my phone .
I wouldn't try it.
Just because the partition layout of the original Galaxy S is the same as our device, it does not mean the kernel is compatible.
The current roms are all based on the stock kernel and do not change any of the core of how the device works. We still have TouchWiz built in and won't be changing that until we have custom kernel built and working on this device.
On the other hand, we can flash back to stock with Odin, so you won't completely fubar your phone if you try.

Your right about kernel compatibility , so 1st step not using speedmod kernel [used @ guide]
But I would like to know if the native MIUI kernel used @ the galaxy S is like a "modded kernel" they used to port that rom .. or if its a kind of "universal kernel" ?? . I dont know if Im making myself clear

If the partition layout changes, cannot promise Odin will fix it. Pit, boot.bin and sbl.bin pulled from a phone to flash will most likely cause a hard brick. We need a leaked one-click, or some very crazy testers willing to brick phones left and right to test that. I don't recommend it.

Not a problem. When a new phone comes out....here's what happens:
1. Root
2. SBF/ODIN
3. CWM recovery
4. Psuedo ROMs based on stock.
5. Source Code drops.
6. Custom kernels (w/CWM built in)
7. Ports for MIUI/CM7/Sense/etc.
In 3 weeks, the community as a whole has completely done steps 1-5. (Usually takes a couple of months).
Next big focus has to be custom kernels. I helped out with some of the initial stuff for CM7 on Captivate before I bought an Atrix, then the Infuse. I'm going to be doing alot of reading and trying to learn alot more about git. Then I will be able to look into kernels. Team Whiskey had some guys working on a kernel with CWM + VooDoo lagfix written up...but I havent heard anything in a few days. So....be patient, its coming! .

Very interesting info , thanks for sharing , didn't know the order of these steps to follow ..
We are closer then ! cool , cant wait to run MIUI @ Infuse
Like others said, we will need a custom kernel for MIUI. However, the Infuse is very similar to the original Galaxy S. I bet it would be really easy to port 2.2.1 Galaxy S ROMs. They would probably boot right up and work fine if you just remove the kernel from them and swap out a few files (ril, camera libs, key layouts).

Hey I have one theme in mind, can you give me the details of these files?
(Wait do themes even mess with these files?)
Key layouts I got...
Camera libs? where are those located?
ril? what is that and where?
Thanks much appreciated.

I'm used to HTC devices so I can't tell you the exact names of the ril and camera libs on a Samsung device without looking, but they will be in /system/lib. You may also have to swap a few files in /system/etc. Just takes research and then trial and error. I suggest grabbing a GS 2.2.1 ROM, removing the kernal (and modem if that's included) (will have to remove corresponding parts of updater-script as well), and then flashing. Adb logcat will help you to debug and fix issues from there.
Hell id donate an InFuSe to a miui dev that would make it happen!
I run miui on my Desire HD and wont use anything else, ever...
Sent from my SAMSUNG InFuSe using XDA Premium App
Once we get kernel source and a working CM7 build for it, my team is able to port MIUI to it
Well... once we get a device that is
We have been looking for a new device to port MIUI to. If there is enough demand for the Infuse 4G we'll pick one up.
If you guys manage to get it ported we'll create a device forum for you and host your roms, etc. If you need porting help/advice, or just want to talk about MIUI, join our IRC channel #miui-us on Freenode (details in my signature) and look for someone with a + in front of their name (those are the developers).
Anyway, hope to see you guys running MIUI soon!
Now this is what im talking about. If you guys have stuff to test ill snag it up and try it. Cant write but I can install it and test for ya. Not really scared to brick it. Plus its insured. Anyway good luck cant wait for it!!!

Are there any good guides/articles to learning how to create custom roms and whatnot?
I'm a software developer and while I've never done anything related to kernals/operating systems normally I'm able to pick up stuff quick and I think learning about stuff like this for Android phones would be awesome. I just really have no idea where to start at.

Would you or one of the other devs be willing to post an intro guide or something in order to help get more developers here?
I know you guys are probably busy working on your roms as well as work/school/doing other things, but it probably wouldn't take too long to make a short intro to help us get started. That way we could hopefully get some more devs around here.
I've been reading others guides and posts about it and I could probably do at least a little work from the start based on what they say is involved in making a rom, but the biggest problem for me is not knowing how to get going. It seems like you need an android kitchen to do a lot of the work but all of the kitchens look like they are phone specific so I don't want to try using one if those on the infuse. Maybe they aren't, but info like that to help us get our feet wet would be extremely helpful.

ROM Manager 4.7.0.5 Support for Samsung Galaxy S4G (T959V)

Hi All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4G(T959V) phone and planning to install a Cyanogenmod 7.1 . I have installed the ROM Manager 4.7.0.5 from market and trying to install the CWM Flash Recovery. When i click on CWM Flash Recovery it is prompting me to enter my Mobile model and i get the following Options - Google Nexus S, Google Nexus S 4G, Samsung GalaxyS i9000, Samsung GalaxyS i9000 (MTD). I am not seeing the T959V model here. I would like to know whether Cyanogenmod 7.1 is supported on Galaxy S 4G. Please let me know.

You'll probably boot loop if you flash a ROM like that. Try reading the Bible in-depth before you end up causing a hard brick.

It's okay man. There's plenty more to live for! LOL!
Seriously, under the stickies thread, under the 10 commandments, the second item states not to use ROM manager from the market. You need to flash a kernel with CWM. A 2 second search in this forum will tell you what you need to do. Try FB's guide to gingerbread or just the noobs guide to flashing. Follow the instructions exactly and you will be fine.

on topic no rom manager doesnt work with this phone id uninstall it fast please use kryons cwm final if you need to get out of froyo... and into another rom at least tell u flash a gb rom or froyo rom ( your choice really) and get a kernel that has cwm built inside it
as far as cm7 goes without source to the kernel were dead in the water or tell we work around it which ever comes first if you have any questions feel free to ask also remember to check out the sgs4g bible and any of the how to threads and just read and get informed on what your doing to your device ... Good luck and happy flashing...
Well, I have to say, I'm absolutely appalled at some of the responses in this thread.
The OP is obviously a fairly new member, so how about being helpful instead of being a bunch of assholes.
Time to start handing out infractions and possibly a ban. There's simply NO NEED for the smart ass offensive posts.

I agree.
The reason to not use CwM from Rom Manager is that the device tree for the galaxys4g is not complete. It doesn't have voodoo-lagfix, or the mods it takes to run a stock or modded rom:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_galaxys4g
If you want CwM, please follow the instructions here or here.
Also, from what I understand, a majority of the devs working on SGS4G dislike using CyanogenMod. So I wouldn't expect that stuff to work anytime soon.

THe reason rom manger does not support the sgs4g is not that its not complete is the fact the device structure is diffrent then all the other samsung devices diffrent mount pont system stl110 blocks vs mmc blocking that the other roms use. the swapped parttion info. no interal sd card mapping so on so forth..
THe device does have voodoo lag fix... NOt sure where you are getting this info from but 99.99 percent of the roms have lag fix aka ext 4 support in the kernel once again wrong please post correct info..
as far as cwm goes the lack of gingerbread sourcecode is whats holding it up not the devs... Once samsung releases gb and the sourcecode you will see cm7 and more asop roms as we will be able to actually run custom kernels....

The bml/stl devices come from the XSR/FSR driver.
If we had GB source, or if we go back to FY source, we could remove this driver and configure mtd block devices. But I don't think you want to move to yaffs2, or god forbid, jffs2.
The mount points are different, because the sgs4g, unlike the other sgs devices does not have internal sd.

The recovery has voodoo-lagfix(ext4), not the device.
If we moved to mtd instead of XSR/FSR, we wouldn't need voodoo-lagfix, but we would have to worry about the performance drop of moving to yaffs2.

Yup. I am a kernel dev. Not for android, but for embedded linux. I'm still learning android, but I understand how MTD block devices work, I just need some help when it comes to XSR/FSR.

[Q] Help with Gingerbread installation...

Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.
Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

So, you have a custom kernel with CWM and everything working with UCKK4 in catyrom?
I figured we would have to wait until AT&T / Samsung released their Gingerbread source to compile a completely working kernel. Can you point me in the direction of a custom kernel w/ CWM that has video and everything working in stock rooted UCKK4?
Yes..that was then this is now...lol...with some mods to some jars and framework it will work...learned that myself...

That's legit Dman, it seems you learn a new trick on a daily basis; ports, roms and now kernels. I'm loving how the infuse development is still kickin!
So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!
Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.
You can find that here.: http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/

Couldn't help seriously laughing out loud to this comment. I consider myself to be pretty computer literate but still have to step away from the electronics everyonce in awhile for fear of judo chopping my own. My best advice to all noobs is... take your time and read. Its all right there in front of you. That is all.

Found some cool mods on Sensation forum

i found these mods on the sensation forum but im not sure if i should try them yet. they look like they could benefit us if they work. the undervoltage installer says it should work on any phone but im not sure what frequency to undervolt. the second sounds cool also could open up both cores for max performance. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge on these subjects could help me.

No, I don't flash mods built for another phone so no issues arise. The other phones updater-script "could" wipe things we don't want wiped.
I don't know much about voltages other then that if you are not sure what your doing it can cause stability issues

is there a way to test if it worked? i just downloaded systum tuner pro thinking that it might tell me but im not sure.......
careful in cross flashing devices guys each device has a different partition number. Other devices /system partition could be our hboot, recovery, modem or any critical hardware drivers so you might end up having a permanent brick when doing it.
If any of you want to try out some mods which you can flash you can PM me a link for that mod and I'll make it flashable for mt4gs

Yeah I'm aware of the partition thing, also that the update-binary could be wrong. I've thrown multiple zips together for flashing

I was under the impression that the sensation was basically the same as the Mt4gs. I have flashed a number of mods for sensation with few consequences.

[Q] I need help running T-Mobile GS2 roms on my Skyrocket.

OK so I came across a thread that said you would be able to run T-Mobile gs2 roms on skyrockets and I wanted to test it because I love the roms on the T-Mobile gs2. I grabbed the conversation file that the thread provided and I got the T-Mobile gs2 I wanted and began the process. I backed up my current rom and then wiped every thing. I flashed the rom and then the conversion file like it said. I rebooted the phone and it just sat at the Samsung boot screen. I thought it was normal so I left it there for a while and came back and it was still stuck there. Can the skyrocket really run T-Mobile gs2 roms? Did I do anything wrong in my process? I was able to restore to my previous rom so I'm not freaking out, but I really want to run the rom I found. Is there anyone that can help me? Please and thanks in advance.
Yeah they work fine.You did something wrong.

Simple answer, you are flashing a TW based conversion kit to an AOKp based rom. Just use an AOSP, CM10 and alike kernel to that rom and you should be good.
