Gingerbread

It's amazing we were supposed to so called have our gingerbread like 2 months ago, has anyone heard anything? Because I am trying hard not to have to root my Infuse, and I don't really have a way to root it either but it is so aggravating being on 2.2 still especially with such a great device.

AT&T never said an exact date officially, unless you go by what some customer service rep said on twitter. They only said it would be this year.

Just root it and flash serendipity or infused, or dlev, or any other gingerbread rom.
It's very simple.

No way to root? Huh
E3D

+1 All you need to root is a comp,usb cable and your phone, rooting is quite literally one click (superoneclick)...unless you use HDMI religiously, the roms here are awesome gingerbread goodness even if unofficial.

I have a computer but its dead basically, I tried to do the oneclickroot on my moms laptop and it didn't work at all, tried on my cousin's computer and yet another fail so I basically gave up with the root and yes I have seen a lot of beautiful roms on this forum but I can not get this thing rooted to flash a recovery or rom
Random fyi I have rooted and flashed recovery/rom on only one android device (Motorola Backflip) and I haven't been able to root another device

dude, get the drivers from the samsung site, get heimdall 1.1, get visual c++ redistrobutable package and get the comunity kernel.
extract the kernel .zip and find the zimage
install the drivers
open heimdall
put the zimage in the kernel slot
put the phone in download mode and connect to usb
hit the flash button in heimdall
pretty easy

To make things easier on yourself, you should really find a comp, google "Superoneclick Infuse" and it should pop up step by step install instructions. (download link included)

Still, with the root/flash options, I too would like the official release from AT&T...the wait is getting too long.
Question -I assume I'll need to reload apps if I flash a ROM, correct?

I'll just leave this here...

Where did you get the firmware from? The ones posted in the dev forum do work with super one click. If I can get hands on this firmware I can try to root it too and tell you my results.

I got it from service. Its almost perfect. Fast, no bugs, no FC, but different from v 20. So oneclick 1.9.5. Is not working. Without root I cant backup and upload it.

What's the error you get using superoneclick?

I think that if you change the title more peoples will come and try to help. For example, new gingerbread version......etc.

It's hard to help beacuse we don't have this firmware.
Try super one click 2.1

Try zergrush

Sure, we will wait for the final release but if we got the chance to test the latest available version why not? It worth the try, at least for me. By the way, I am running the old leaked GB and I am very happy, no lag at all and some good new features.

Rastko any luck rooting? Which country was the service flash done.

Tried gingerbreak?

superoneclick 2.2
Ok, superoneclick 2.2 is not working. Is comes to step 7 and that's it.

DoomLord _v2 also not working. It goes all the way but can't root the thing. After reboot its still not rooted

Bought Phone from Craigslist- Is it Rooted?

I bought this phone from Craiglist, and I want to find out if the phone is rooted. Also if it is rooted, how do i unroot it? Another thing, whenever i try to take away a screen by pinching two fingers the phone turns black, and doesn't respond for about a minute for saying unfortunately thouchwhiz has stopped working. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot.

I did, when i first ran the app something called superuser was asking for permission and i didn't grant access. And i ran it again, and this time granted access, and this time it said congratulations this device has root access. I guess it means it's rooted. How do I unroot it.?

Unrooting would be super foolish. If you wanna unroot, get an apple device.

First find out if its ICS or gingerbread ROM. Than look around the blaze dev. Pg., and read-up on the great ROMs available. Follow instructions to the T when installing whatever you choose and make sure you create a backup in cwm FIRST. Happy flashing
Flashing another ROM will fix the touchwiz thing, you don't need it unless you really want it.

I uninstalled superuser app and now it shows that I don't have root access. I fixed the thouchwhiz problem by just using the go launcher app. Now the only problem is that I want some of my tmobile apps back like mobitv and Polaris office. Is the only way to get them back just by getting them from the play store?

Two choices: get it from the play store (if available) or follow the instructions chjema posted. It flashes the original build and will get everything back as if purchased new.

[Q] how to and what to do?

okay my aunt has an
AT&T LG Phoenix P-505 phone with Android 2.2 on it (Here is the phone)
i was thinking of putting JellyBean on it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811325
BUT i dont know what i need or what to do for this phone............... PLEASE help with step-by-step of how to........ i would like everything to be on the Micro SD-card (like the Nook color can be), if it can't be than thats fine!. like i said i am in need of a step-by-step how to
Please & Thanks

A step by step guide will be unlikely. Making a rom comes from experience and knowledge. It will take alot of work to get that done on your aunts phone. Honestly i don't think its worth it, there is so much involved in trying to develop a rom for a phone. I would just experiment with the phone, do some theming and become use to how the phone works and functions, remember...its all experience

i don't know how to or where to get the stuff to do it, i found a little guide(HERE) and where you download the CM10 rom from is here same for its "source" of the info on there..... but it nor here tells me or helps point me to where i can get ClockworkMod Recovery installed to be able to root it(dont know if thats needed or not)...... so thats why im looking for help
my aunts phone has a mind of its own.... removes photos, music, contact and so-on when ever it wants turned on & turned off, but if i was to root it with cm10 i know it would fix it all(the phone has been used by many ppl in her family that have messed it up)

Well

thanks for the info
what are the downfalls/cons of rooting this?(im the type of person who likes to know what the outcome can become)

Advantages
1)You can install a custom ROM
2) You can upgrade or downgrade your phone
3)You can link apps to SD or make a part of your SD card internal memory
4)Performance will be better than stock ROM
Disadvantages
1)You can Soft brick your phone
But you can also unbrick by some methods (This will happen if you don't follow instructions carefully )
2) You can hard brick your phone
(You will have to buy another phone or replace your motherboard)
3)You void your warranty by rooting.

Anyways, to add on to the advantages: with root this phone will become more awesome :thumbup:
