Have you tried connecting your phone to the computer and running adb? If you just type adb devices, if your phone is connected it should show up.
Also, don't enable debugging when the sun cable is connected to your phone. Not saying you did, just thought it worth mentioning.

Oh yes sorry I'm currently on gb 2.3.6 infuse 4g AT&T
And no i havent im not sure what Adb is ha.
To root your phone from GB you need to install the Samsung provided drivers for the Infuse on your PC. You then need a Heimdall or Odin kernel package with cwm which you flash to your phone after booting it in download mode. You then flash a rooted ROM or root package from cwm recovery mode, after copying the package to your internal sd card. You can then flash whatever kernel you want.
The specific details behind this general process can be found in threads linked in the infuse super everything thread... See link in my sig below. Read up and do your research before attempting. Make a full backup of your phone too.

Ok thank you I did install a rooted rom with odin. Very much appreciated just two more question when installing a custom rom where do I put the rom file? And when I installed rom manager then I clicked a download rom it asked me to download something first I clicked install and then it asked me to verify my device it only had 3 options. Samsung nexus I think and some other ones I know my phone was not that model the only one that was close to mine was i900 I think or i9000 and mines an i977 I have a Samsung infuse for AT&T 2.3.6 gb should there be any problems or what do you suggest?
Custom ROM should be copied to your internal sdcard, then installed from cwm recovery. Make sure to backup your apps prior to this.. Titanium backup pro is a good choice. Do the necessary wipes before flashing. Read the OP (first post) of the rom for instructions.
Stay away from rom manager.

Hello,
I've got a Skyrocket i727 and am stuck on the psneuter part when trying to root. I'm sorry for posting here since I'm sure the answers lie somewhere, but I've been researching since yesterday and haven't found it. I'm on a satellite internet connection that is pretttty slow.
Anyways, so I have the drivers installed, and then run SuperOneClick as Admin on windows 7. I click root and it runs until psneuter then appears to be stuck. It freezes there. When I close the black command screen that has opened it suggests I turn off debugging mode. When I try to close debugging mode it just stays at Waiting for Device...
So, what am I missing?
Thanks so much in advance.
SuperOneClick didn't work on mine because it had updated to 2.3.6 from 2.3.5...Which one do you have?
You need to use this method if your on android 2.3.6

So, I've done some reading about CWM and am still not quite sure what it is. Does it replace my current setup? Do I lose my stuff?
Edit: for anyone else following this topic I found this info about cwm:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
Is it possible to do this without having an external sd card?
Must have external SD. CWM is an aftermarket recovery that replaces your stock recovery. It allows you to flash roms, make nandroid backups restore nandroid backups ect.....

I had this issue over the weekend. Go out to samsungs site and find the kids drivers. In the superclick in the "exploit" switch to zergrush, click root. It should say do you want to install drivers, click yes and it shouldn't take more then 10 minutes.
I have rooted and unlocked phone but when it reboots into recovery its not listing all the options that will allow me to flash cm 7 nor cm9. Any help to get past this hurdle would be great thanks

What does it say the recovery version is ?
The first would be recovery 3e no Sig and then I've tried the advice from an earlier post for the galaxy is9000 I do believe. I just dropped 3e and going to try again with simply the is9000

OK- you are not rooted- you can go to post 2 here and get root and red cwm recovery - thanks to qkster and Entropy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
i thought that i might have been rooted since i can run diff rom managers, i do have super user access, titanium back up and a few others must have root apps. But i will try and thank you very much sir
If Titanium Backup asked for Superuser permission and you granted and TB did not say you are not rooted then you are correct, you are rooted. My answer still holds to go to post 2 to get the proper recovery.
Edit: + 10 on not using ROM Manager. (from Andros11 below)
Do not use Rom Manager. You can either flash Entropy's DD kernel to get red cwm recovery or look in the iset thread for gtg's guide for installing cwm, and use method 1 which requires you have the 3e modded recovery.

ok ok for sure thank you very much i was wondering what i was doing wrong so i will take it all back to stock and start from scratch on this one here. But one more question i feel like there is an instability in the os so this what really prompted me to root this phone. The usb works at times, it turns on when it wants, it turns off and locks freezes completely when it wants, to turn it on i have to remove the battery put it back in then when the battery shows i have to plug in to the usb port for the computer to get it to start. Overall i do not know what my friend did to his phone but it's a night mare. have you heard of this occuring with anybody else sir?
But i have managed to unlock and get free wifi hotspot out of it smh
I like your approach, however it sounds like the problems may be related more to:
a : power button may be sticking
b: may have issues with usb connection, either on phone or on computer or both.
Before you go any further, make a backup of the current rom on the phone if possible.
Understood, i will flash the new CWM, back up then progress forward on that note. As for the usb i've used several and the one i am using right now is not registering where it did yesterday, and it is like a females emotions very fickle in nature. I will play with it a lil bit more to see if i can download via usb if not i'll use the sd-ms card to pick up the files and move forward at that point. Thank you very much sir you have been a big !!
I'm having a hardware problem with my phone and do not have USB function. it doesn't have anything to do with DRIVERS, CABLES OR COMPUTERS. this we have all ready determined. it is NOT rooted and does NOT have a custom recovery already installed. its a stock Rogers Samsung s2 lte stock ICS (sim unlocked) using bell as a provider. I would like to get JB installed as it is no longer avaible OTA at the moment.
Hmm... I know you can do it without root with Odin, but at requires USB. I would try posting this on your device's forum.

what device are we talking about? if you dont have usb option,you are screwed
I'm not sure it thats a 100% true fallen, if I could root with out usb I could use moblie odin.
its a SGH-i727R fallen, even if I could load Clockworkmod Recovery via stock Recovery menu as a temp then load the official JB rom thats all ready been rooted I'm golden. the only thing I can think of that I got going for me is the facted I don't need root to load a rom.
It is now available as an OTA update again but I have updated to JB still no USB cause the usb port on the S2 Skyrocket is a piece of junk thanks for everyons help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (SGH-I727 / AT&T) that I cannot get to connect to a PC after weeks of trying. I have tried to read through hundreds of threads regarding this issue and it seems others have had similar issues but nothing quite like this.
When I connect my phone to a PC, it does charge but Windows XP or Windows 7 will not recognize the phone. Anytime it is connected an error pops up stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
So to clarify, I have tried the following suggestions from others to troubleshoot and try to narrow down the issue:
1.) I have tried 4 separate USB cables, including the original OEM Samsung brand data cable that came with the phone.
2.) I have tried 3 separate PC's (2 with Windows 7, 1 with Windows XP).
3.) I have installed Samsung Kies on all 3 PCs, uninstalled and reinstalled the program as well as the Samsung Drivers on multiple occasions.
4.) I have done a factory/data reset on the phone twice to see if this was an issue caused by other apps I've downloaded in the past.
5.) I have tried to use USB Debugging/Developer option and then connect the phone to no avail.
6.) I have tried USB Mass Storage option before connecting the phone.
7.) I have tried to connect the phone to a PC in Samsung's default recovery mode and still showed it was not a recognizable device.
8.) I have tried a friend's galaxy S3 on all cables and PC's mentioned above and Kies immediately recognizes her phone.
9.) I have attempted to clean the physical microusb port with a small brush to make sure the contacts were clean and not being blocked by something.
10.)I have done a battery pull and about 20+ phone resets for all above mentioned attempts.
Based on all of these attempts without any success, it seems to me that this being a PHONE hardware issue is highly probable. I've ruled out just about every other scenario and I'm wondering at this point if my phone's Micro USB port is fried somehow.
Has anyone heard of this or is this a reasonable possibility?
I have tried just about everything I can so far, if anyone has any other suggestions or has any information that may confirm my suspicion, please let me know.
This all came about in the past week due to Jelly Bean being finally released by AT&T / Samsung for the Skyrocket and unfortunately, this update only seems to be available via Kies and a direct data cable to a PC. I have tried to go to Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check for Updates (while connected to Wifi with a full battery) and the phone has told me 3 times over the past 3 days that my current Ice Cream Sandwich v4.0.4 Android is the most current software up to date. I'm guessing they're not planning on releasing Jelly Bean to the Skyrocket via OTA air updates....so now I'm stuck.

You should also try a different computer if you can. It works on my laptop but not my pc. I have no idea why and have tried everything I can think of. Also, use the usb ports on the back of the computer, not the front

Well after getting into the details on the post, it looks like this is created for a phone that already has a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP installed. Since I do not have a USB port to use on this phone as of right now, is there any way to install a custom recovery on my phone without using USB?
I did download the stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean firmware directly on the phone's default directory already and it's sitting there in a zip format. If I'm not able to root and/or install a custom recovery without using a USB cable, would it be possible to install the stock firmware using the default samsung recovery mode?

It wouldn't work. Nothing will install in Android System Recovery <3e>. Everything I tried still came back with Signature Verification Failed.
I also tried lifting the "tongue" inside the usb port on the phone several times previously and that didn't work either. I must assume at this point the usb daughterboard or something inside is messed up.
Since stock recovery can't install any type of files and I can't connect the phone to a PC in any way and my phone is 100% stock without root or any custom recovery, I can only imagine I'm stuck in this situation. I have yet to see any solutions for getting root or installing CWM without having a USB connection that works. Unless I can do either of those things, it looks like I'm SOL for updating from ICS to JB.
If they had only made Jelly Bean an Over the Air update, none of this would be a problem really.

Too dangerous the ota bricks tons of people when they do it I can only assume at&t is tired of it and opts for kies only. Also you could buy a daughter board and replace it. It's a relatively easy fix.

So .... lesson learned here is that you CANNOT root a phone or install any custom recoveries such as CWM or TWRP without having a working USB connection. As a result, you CANNOT install any updates, stock firmwares and especially custom roms without the above.
Only option at this point is to order the replacement part for the USB port on the phone or to purchase a new phone (if it's outside of the warranty period).

No you need USB to root that's it technically. If you have root you can install a recovery IMG without a computer using a terminal emulator and dd commands.

Hello everyone and sorry to bother everyone but im in a pickle. Im new to rooting and I was following this on YouTube by qbking77 called "How to Install Clockworkmod Recovery on the Samsung Infuse 4G " video.
So what my problem is that when i placed the modified 3e recovery file in the bin folder and tried to restart my Samsung infuse 4g through the clockworkmod recovery restart it will now only boot to the Samsung screen. I believe I may have somehow placed the wrong or a corrupted 3e recovery file into the directory.
I have searched many other forums to no avail if anyone could help i would be eternally grateful.
Check the super everything thread for either a heimdall or Odin return to stock package. Download and run them with the phone in download mode. You can even get packages with CWM preinstalled.

Thank you very much for the advice! I'm trying heimdall right now but the zadiag is not recognizing my infuse. I have connected and in download mode but when going under list all device there is no Samsung.

I had no luck with Odin either. Check your windows device manager and see what shows up when you plug the phone in. It doesn't always show as Samsung, but something should come up that you can use to install drivers. Best of luck getting things back to running
