Yeah, I know I'm a Noob!!!! I rooted and put Jellybean on my Infuse 4g using Odin V3. It's causing call quality issues so I want to change ROM's. Do I need to use Odin each time I swap ROM's or can I use ROM manager. Also, ROM manager doesn't list the Infuse 4g. Can I use their setting for the Galaxy S i9000 as I've heard on other posts?

Anytime you get weird issues, it is good to go back to stock and start over. I use this with the root option and use sgs kernel flasher to install on of the custom kernels.

No one really likes rom manager. If you are leaving jb you need to go back to stock. Some ported roms you have to toggle the speaker on and off for the first call everytime you reboot.
To my knowledge, you can't flash jb with odin. Only with recovery, and must go from Gb to ICS, then JB.
Get rid of rom manager. It gives nothing but trouble.
And as for the call issues, check your imei on settings - about - status.

i just got the captivate i rooted it today im a newbie to all of this so im still unsure of everything im doing i dont care about bricking it. i was reading the "how to load a custom rom" and im at the step where is says (please flash the stock kernel through ODIN first then do our How To Root procedure then come back to this to continue) im unclear about flashing the stock kernal
and what custom rom you guys use and why you like it
Simple, Cognition.. It is all in one package and it is very simple to install but it just seems to work.
Only other ROM I will be going to is cyanogen if and when it is released.
Um and I might be wrong here but I thought Odin was only needed if you had to revert back to a stock ROM before flashing?
Bah damn swype putting words in my mouth again....

Yea I would go cognition. It is what I run.
Very snappy and with the voodoo lagfix it is extremely fast.
I also reccomend the hsupa kernal if you dont use a bluetooth headset.
And 2.1.5 has proved to give me a very decent battery life.
so if i want to try a different rom i have to flashback to the stock att rom then on to the new rom?

The HSUPA Kernel enables HSUPA data speeds on the Captivate, which AT&T has crippled on the phone. It's discussed at length in several posts in the developer section.
From what I have read, one of the bugs in installing it is that you lose Bluetooth, so it would be a non-starter for you.
First of all, I am a iphone convert (this week) and bought an Infuse. love the phone and android. I am a noob and have a noob question:
I would love to upgrade to gingerbread and don't want to root. I believe I can do that with the stock ROMs. My question is a stock ROM such as ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6] 100% stable with everything working?
I use my phone for business so I can't have calls not come thru or other problems on it.
Any insight is appreciated.

I've installed every single stock leak there is (I hate ugly modded roms). KK3 is NOT the way to go. KK4 was just released and currently it's not rooted and runs beautifully. Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, data and phone are all working great. 9 times out of 10 the rooted versions suck anyways because they use a buggy kernal that wasn't meant for it. There's usually some kind of trade off with rooted roms so if you don't care about rooting, grab KK4 and flash with ODIN.

this is exactly the type of info I was looking for! Thanks! Is absolutely everything working on the KK4? all the apps and everything?

I've been playing with it all day and I have yet to find any issues. All apps work, no shutdowns, no lagging, no dropped wifi, no data switching, no bluetooth problems...nothing. Definately one step closer to "official".
the custom kernel is usually packaged so people have cwm and dont get in a panic not being able to flash out of the rom the same way they flashed it. if i knew how to repack the initramfs id give a shot at making a more stock kernel with cwm. but unfortunately like the rom chefs here i dont have that knowledge. you can absolutely have kk4 rooted without a rogers based kernel, it just means flashing twice. maybe ill fill that gap since flashing the stock kernel back to the phone is too much for many people to figure out. the phone retains root if you flash the stock kernel. what is going on is there is a script in the custom kernel that copies the su file and simlinks it while the phone boots in an insecure state. once root is there it stays unless you flash the rom. after the phone is rooted the kernel has zero effect on root privledges.
Hello Folks,
I am stuck with Samsung-Infuse Here ...
Previously I was on CatyRom - 2.3.6 on infuse .. but seems it broke the phone capabilities .. I was not able to install most of the applications from the market... even the basic applications like "Facebook" / "Google Apps" wouldn't get installed..."device incompatible" or something like that it would pop in the "Market" itself...
so after a few tries... I have finally reverted back to the Stock ROM...Thanks a ton to gtg for this post.... ) atleast finally the things are working...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112555
But it's FROYO... ( I'm currently on UCKE3...
I tried getting the OTA version from AT&T ... through manual update .. and *#*#checkin#*#*.... but somehow that was not able to get me the update...
So currently I am trying to flash the ROMS mentioned in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
ROM I997UCKK3 [2.3.6]
ROM I997UCKK2 [2.3.6]
[CUSTOM ROM] Compiled CM 7 for Infuse 4G [2.3.7]
I've tried flashing through ODIN .. as well as through "sdcard/update.zip" but none seems to be working out for me...
even tried getting the firmware-update using the "Kies" & "Kies-Mini" especially launched for Infuse customers... but none seems to work ...
Can someone please help me out with this one... ?
Thanks,
/P
there is no official gb. only leaks.the last leak was uckl2.
once on uckl2 you might not be able to root it, you will have to swap Kernels around. might want to flash Zeus instead unless you really want cm7.
you need cwm to flash the roms, most roms don't have an update script that works in stock recovery. fastest way to cwm is to flash a voodoo kernel in sgs kernel flasher or Odin or heimdall. if you have root use kernel flasher.
or you can do it the slow way and replace recovery with a modded version, then use green cwm for the i9000 via update.zip.
I am looking for a snappy ROM which works fast .... not looking specifically for CM7...
I decided on CM7, from the reviews of other folks .. lot's of folks are returning back to CM7 after trying out "Infuse" / sensation .. and "Caty"... so was just wondering what would be the best option ..
I am looking for a stable version; as I do not flash often ... I would stick to a stable version for a little longer then flash all the new updates/leaks that keep coming..

I have a problem I reverted back to the original eclair android 2.1 firmware because my wifi wouldn't work. Heres the thing I go to samsungs website but it says to upgrade you need kies mini to do it. I have windows 7 and can never get to recognize my phone I tried installing drivers it just never worked. I do have a desktop that still has good old windows xp so when I wanna add anything to my phone I do it through that means. My main question is first whats the best firmware version that can be run on samsung captivate. I understand you need to install them in order eclair>froyo>gingerbread. My other question is if I install kies mini on my windows xp machine which doesn't currently have internet to it can I do the upgrade that way without any problems? I was also wondering whats a good stable rom to use?I tried to do att update but i forgot to unfreeze the att apps with titanium backup now I have to wait 24 hours lol but I need an app from the playstore my friend released I'm stuck with market and can get half the apps I had Thanks for any help I really appreciate it. oh and yes my phone is rooted.
I went from Froyo to Jelly Bean on my captivate. Check out Helly Bean or Slim Bean ROMs, both have working version for captivate. I would recommend Slim Bean as its considerably smoother given the limited (outdated) specs of cappy.

I just found this site which has a kies version specifically to my phone.
samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SEG-I897ZKAATT
I also figured out why my samsung would never be recognized for my pc running windows 7. It has something to do with my usb port because when I connect through a usb hub it works fine.
OMG it works Kies Mini works. I also had to unroot my phone first and then remove external sd card.
Im fully updated to Gingerbread now 2.3
Here is my specs I used odin and installed Kernal KK4

I was I got stuck on the step where it says to flash to speed mod kernel.
When I do that my phone gets stuck at a loading screen saying
"Samsung i897" in white letters with samsung logo at bottom of screen with black background. When I changed my kernel back to KK4 it worked fine again and loaded back.
The speedmod kernel is just so u can have cwm recovery to flash ur Rom of choice. It is not meant to boot ur phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
So if I install a jelly bean slim I lose gingerbread? Which would make some of my apps incompatible from play store? I was also wondering whats with bootloaders and how can I ensure I have it. Judging form my specs is there anything else I need to do before loading a rom or literally just put the rom in a zip folder on one of my sd cards internal or external boot into recovery mode and choose the rom of my choice and from there it will load that rom and thats it?
If u were running kk4 with no probs, then u have the i897 gb bootloaders. And yep, if u flash a jellybean rom u will loose gb. And in order to go back to gb base u will have to use Odin or Heimdall.
As far as flashin a Dev Rom goes...if u have cwm recovery then u r good to go.

I flashed corn kernel 7.06.It gives u cement recovery and ability to root thru recovery.From there u just follow thread for Tom u want.

I have had good success with AOKP open Kang you can flash from recovery. They have page on rootwiki that walks through the process. Current version is build 5 once that's installed I change kernels to semaphore 2.4.5c semaphore provides over clocking I'm set at 110% and the phone screams. Also semaphore has a Google play app to manage the kernel. Both developer groups are top notch with solid links for download and change log.

Slim Beans 2.8 is also based on semaphore kernel and yes it runs quite smoothly on old cappy as mentioned above.
Slim bean is pretty nice

I've upgraded my Rogers Infuse with CM10 Jellybean and have had many issues with it freezing and not letting me answer incoming calls, etc. and camera app jittering while recording video.
I was told that the android 2.3 is the most stable version for this phone. But when I have had issues getting stock ROM for Rogers Infuse. In this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248 the download links direct to lnx.lu and tries to get me to install iLividSetup.exe which is a virus. The links are basically dead.
I've tried installing other roms just to get back to stock with lots of problems but eventually got ZEUS rom installed. They say that its stable but this rom is either very buggy or I didnt install it properly. The built-in apps have are there but their icons have been erased and have been renamed to com.android. and when I try to launch any of them it says that the app is not installed on the phone. Im talking about necessary apps like play store, etc. So I cant use the phone like this.
I need help with getting my Rogers Infuse back to stock or a very stable install. Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this.
I would suggest odin back to stock or heimball one click explained in many threads in the dev section. I use Aeon rom wich works better then stock for me. But i dont think u will find the 2.3.3 rogers rom anywere . Pm me if u do i want it lol . U will have to go with an att 2.3.6 wich will still be considered stock rom and will work on rogers. I was using att rom with Bell canada
