Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere. I just read this CNet article about the leaked GB release. I am thinking about downloading it. Is this the one that people are having issues rooting with? If so, can someone provide me step by step instructions for this fix without changing kernel?
I have flashed ROM before. I follow instructions well, but I don't always follow exactly what is being discussed in the threads unless there are clear instructions. Perhaps I missed some that already exist?

Thanks.
To root you'd need to:
Flash that release
Flash one of the custom Gingerbread kernels - note that this will break wifi and HDMI temporarily
Root the system partition (actually most custom kernels will do this for you)
Flash back to the kernel from the leak
Ok, so I can just flash back to the original kernel when done? Sounds simple enough. I have flashed the rim before, but not the kernel. However I am sure I can find instructions for this. I assume the Infusion kernel would work just fine?
Thanks.

Does your kernel root the system partition?

In theory - it's a feature I have not tested as I've always used pre-rooted /system partitions - it's one of the features that came from gtg's initramfs work back when the Rogers Infuse first dropped. It should work as I believe gtg tested it.

Sorry for dumb question.. as I am really novice for installing custom rom..
I read similar contents from [BIONIX BIUI] but there is no Q&A of [BIONIX BIUI] here so allow me to post here...
I was in Darky Rom and switched to FusionXII direct through CWM qithout any problem and now hope to flash BINIX BIUI...
Do I have to flash UCKL2's stock bootloader first through ODIN then should flash KJ2 based custom rom or can flash direct through CWM ???
Anything should I be careful when switching from one rom to another ??
Thanks, guys...
Pls consider I am learning step by step...
Yes you still have bootloadets

You should avoid messing with bootloaders whenever possible.
The only reason EVER to flash a bootloader on Infuse is to transition from Froyo to Gingerbread - once you're on a Gingerbread bootloader, if you're staying with a Gingerbread ROM, keep the bootloader.

I had GB running. Last night I flashed Infused 1.6.0 (Froyo), and then came back to GB rom, with no issues. So I think once we are on GB, we can switch back and forth while being careful not to mess with CWM.
Or maybe I was lucky 'cos the the line in Infused 1.6.0 changelog:
"Removed recovery binary to prevent the phone from booting into green CWM"
stick with gingerbread bootloaders after you install them
I'd avoid Bionix for the time being. I've been doing this for a while and I it's taking some work to get back.. flash around with the others for a while and get some experience.. Doesn't mean you don't have good work nopco..
Ok, thanks guys...
Sorry again for novice question again..
I want to "Stick" to GB bootloarder... the problem is "HOW?"
I read through forum and found out there is no way to check whether I am in GB' bootloader or not...
Already flashed with UCKL2 Stock Rom once, so can I consider I have GB bootloader now ???
I flashed other rom such as MaxQ, FusionXII and re-flash to BIONIX without Rainbow problem so this is ok now ?
Thanks again for advice again, duds..

During switch between one rom to another, my device also booted in "Green Recovery" then I ODIN with community kernel to get Red CWM recovery to re-flash other rom.
Did I do something wrong ??

Everyone has their way of installing roms. What's weird is I have no idea how everyone is getting different color recovery screens other than red. The only recovery I've ever had has always been red in Cwm. Simple if your on Froyo if you flash the community kernel v8 reboot into recovery, you'll be in red Cwm and can flash any rom you want without issues. You don't need to worry about changing the kernel cause most roms come with a kernel and will erase the community kernel v8. Why is this all so difficult?

Yes, I also though as you explained...
I have flashed GB based rom as I believe... never flashed to Froyo Rom.
So there should be no worries about bootloader or kernel.
But when I flashed BOINIX which is based on stock Kernel, things messed up with shown Rainbow affect and this was caused because I was in Froyo Kernel as I read.
Ok, so now I want to make really sure I am in GB bootloader.
Question is,
If flashed successfully to GB based Rom, bootloader is not to be concerned ??
Is there anyway to flash ONLY GB BOOTLOADER with ODIN to make sure I am on GB bootloader ?
Sorry again for dumb question again...
I am really, really newbie not only for Infuse but for ANDROID totally so need help and advice.

The bootloader are found within the kernel itself. So if you flashed a gb rom using a gb based kernel you are on gb bootloader and not froyo. Froyo stock based kernels may cause rainbow screens cause it won't work with gb roms this is why you are getting them.

Edit: community kernel v8 works for both froyo and gb. I flash it using sgs kernel flasher from the market and then I'm able to flash gb roms without getting bootloops and other issues. You can't flash a gb kernel over Froyo cause it will cause bootloops and it won't load and you'll have to gtg to stock again.

@Axiomkid,
Thanks for kind advice, now I know clearly,
1) Bootloader is in the kernel so unnecessary to flash separately.
2) Community kernel V8 works both for Gb and Froyo so it will be ok to flash Community kernel v8 to get Red CWM to re-flash other GB Rom from existing GB Rom.
Another question is,
If I want to flash Froyo Rom from existing GB Rom, what is the right way to do and if flash to Froyo Rom, I am on Froyo Bootloader, right ??
Thanks again & Merry Christmas !
If you wanna go back to Froyo use Odin and flash GTG ultimate unbrick to reformat the phone back to original Froyo.

It is very important if you install a rom and you don't like the kernel, sometimes it can be flashed with a different kernel but chances are it will screw your phone up. I tried using a different kernel on someone's rom and I had a tint of yellow on my screen. The Devs give us a kernel that works specifically for their rom and should not be replaced with another kernel unless told otherwise. People get errors cause of this and fill up a lot of forum space asking why their phone is screwed up. You just need to read before installing a rom. Each rom includes each own set of directions.
Most kernels allow overclocking and under volting your phone, and to be honest I don't mess with the settings so I don't end up with a burnt CPU

WRONG. DEAD WRONG.
The bootloader is a COMPLETELY different entity than the kernel.
Custom Gingerbread kernels (such as Infusion-GB and Daily Driver) have a workaround that allows operation with Froyo bootloaders.
However, working video acceleration in the latest leaks can only be obtained with a stock kernel from one of those leaks. If you flash a kernel and system image from a leak (such as UCKL2) and you get rainbows, you need to flash new bootloaders. If you don't get rainbows - you don't need new bootloaders and should avoid flashing them if at all possible.
(Basically, don't flash anything with boot.bin or sbl.bin using Heimdall or Odin once you're on GB bootloaders.)

Boy, I wish I read this yesterday.
I had struggled with this yesterday trying to install Bionix using heimdall.
Managd to boot loop in 3e blue recovery several times until I flashed bootloaders in heimdall to get back to a working stock.
Paxunion, if I may suggest, if you are on froyo,
I think it'll be easier for you to use Adam outler's heimdall uckj4 return to stock.
Put your phone in the download mode. Flash it once then flash it again with the bootloader checked.
Go to his second post and flash the kernel to get recovery and then you will have gb bootloader and be able to flash the ROM of your choice.
If you did want Bionix, very nice, use the heimdall package that Dani included in the bionix thread. You won't have to flash the kernel step if you use Dani's heimdall package.
Do not check the repartition or partition box with the bionix flash.

I ran into some problem due to checking of the repartition box and screwed up everything. Had to reflashed bootloader to get the phone working again.
I found it was easiest to flash adam's uckj4. Then heimdall fronend your package.
Two steps. Simple. If i have some time, i might do a faq step guide thread in the q a
I'm gonna make this short and simple.
I've got a stock Infuse 4G on 2.3.6 and I have no idea how to root it.
To my knowledge, SOC does not work.
How do I go about rooting my phone?
This might have already been answered, but I can't find a thread concerning it. A link would be appreciated, if possible.
with a kernel switcheroo. you need a non secure kernel to root it, fortunately the Rogers 2.3.3 kernels do boot 2.3.6. flash an older custom kernel like the hellraiser kernel through heimdall, I suggest heimdall just because its easier to extract a kernel zimage from an update than to do that but then create a .tar.md5 archive of it. you can use the ever popular entropy DD kernel but if you go back to the 2.3.6 kernel then you will have to change the vold.fstab back to stock.
the kernel flash may root the phone depending on the kernel but its an older su binary and if you update it the kernel will overwrite it on next boot.
if you want to use a custom kernel permanently then use entropy DD because it has had the root script removed allowing updates to su. though it doesn't root it will allow root through adb so soc may work after you flash that kernel. then you can update the binary through superuser
if you are gonna use the stock 2.3.6 kernel then use an old build of entropy or an old hellraiser kernel. then boot up and flash the 2.3.6 kernel back to the phone through heimdall or sgs kernel flasher. (sgs Kernel flash has the ability to find the zimage inside of a .zip or. tar even in subfolders so you can actually put the leak .tar on the SD card and flash the kernel that way if you can't figure out heimdall)
Thanks for the quick response. I'll try it tomorrow since it looks like it may take a while...

andrew,
did you bought the phone with stock 2.3.6 installed? what version is it? uckl2?
did you flash it with one of the unofficial GB leaks?
thanks.
ohh almost forgot about voodoo. the custom kernels convert the files system and wont allow you to flash the stock kernel, you'll get bootloops. if you don't intend to keep the custom kernel disable lagfix before you start by creating a folder with the path /sdcard/Voodoo/disable-lagfix
the V in Voodoo is capital. all other letters are lower case.
read the Rogers root thread for more details. its the same process laid out for rogers since that thread was written before soc worked on anything above 2.3.2. actually that kernel will also work on 2.3.6 for att.

yes but if he is already on gingerbread he needs a backup gingerbread kernel, if he uses cwm for the gb kernel it must already be on the SD card.
so it would be
1. download cwm flashable gb kernel to the SD card
2. download heimdall defuse kernel oneclick to PC and install drivers, I haven't done this on windows in a while but the Samsung drivers should work but heimdall also has there own system to recognize the device. forgot what its called....
3 run heimdall from run in windows or terminal in other os and put phone in download mode and connect the data cable
4. flash defuse kernel
5. boot into recovery with 3button. phone wont boot gb on froyo kernel but recovery works.
6. flash root
7.flash gb kernel
8. reboot
9. win
I used to use the mismatched kernels on the captivate. if nothing else was working I'd go back to stock 2.1, flash a froyo kernel with cwm and then flash a froyo or gb rom. 3 easy steps.
Rooting 2.3.6
Simply use the Heimdall Defuse Kernel to flash red cwm then flash the rooted version of the ROM Or a custom rom. it pre-roots your phone for you just click flash

Ah, Ok. If you're rooted, get SGS Kernel Flasher from the play store, it's free. Then, use it to flash AntonX's 1.1.3 kernel, from the dev section. After you do that, flash to CM7, THEN flash AOKP.
Or, you can wait till FB releases the next update, which is supposed to fix the BML>MTD conversion. But, I don't know when that will be.
Edit: Make sure you read the instructions for both the ROMs carefully, before you flash them! It can save your device a lot of trouble!

You can't update to cm9 and stay on 5.0.
Unlike most samsung phones, we do not have a functional recovery partition.
Even though we do have a recovery partition, and you can flash the recovery.img there, the bootloader will not even notice it.
It will just boot the kernel with the kernel command line argument: bootmode=2
In this mode, a stage1 init has to check if we are booting to: recovery, low power mode (charging), or normal boot (possibly with ota upgrade).
So in a nut shell, you upgrade to cm9, you get whatever recovery comes with cm9.
If you want to flash another cm9/ics based rom after that, just flash it (factory reset/wipe data, of course!). No need to go back to 5.0 recovery.
If however, your IMEI is screwed up or you have a specific reason to go back to gingerbread, use the oneclick that eollie mentioned. Flash it twice to get bootloaders. And then you can go back to cm9 by just 'factory reset/wipe data' and flash cm9 or whatever ics rom you wish.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please read some more and understand what one clicking means. You could have cwm 3.x.x.x and if you flash the heimdall one clicks it will change to the current cwm for bml.
ive tried everything and i guess i have bad luck cuz i get boot loops or stuck on boot screen
