I have an Infuse 4g at&t with the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and I want to root it and get CWM for installing Custom Roms...i see many threads which links ODIN methods with 4 types of firmware and bootloader issues...m just confused which i would select for flashing....Help me out
If you are looking to get a custom ROM, then just go straight to installing a recovery CWM. Then Flash the ROM of your choice, no need to worry about rooting unless you are planning to stay on stock.
I have used this thread multiple times but post #2 is what you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081 I am a Heimdall One-clicker type of user. And you can't go wrong with anything from qkster. But please read and read again follow the steps and attention to details for this and any ROM you are flashing.

I'm a noob when it comes to rooting/flashing because I just bought an infuse 4G. Sorry if this is a useless thread but i've looked through guides and tutorials and I'm still not sure and I don't want to mess up the new device.
I have an infuse 4G with stock 2.3.6, if i wanted to install a custom ROM would I have to be rooted? If so, how do i root on 2.3.6?
How are you confirming that you have 2.3.6? Just checking because, until the very recent AT&T release of 2.3.6, these came with 2.2 Froyo.
To install a custom rom, you'll need to be rooted.

There are quite a few radios floating around now, at the moment. Really, they're different for everyone depending on where you are. A good spot to take a look at would be here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573218.

Install CWM > root > install ics rom of your choice
I own a ROGERS s2 LTE sgh-i727r it has ics and i want to root it so I can use titanium and or cwm to perhaps install cyanogen
Why can I not find simple dam instructions on how to do it for my exact device? I had it rooted prior to the ics update but now the simple 1 click root programs don't work.
I hate all this and just want to find a simple exe to help me root so i can go forward. I know about comps (I am a university comp science student) and the truth is I just want simplicity for this.
Can someone link me or direct me to USEFUL info plz. Hell I can't even find rogers devices on this site. Only a at&t skyrocket similar mdoel

It seems like the AT&T Skyrocket and the Rogers shg-i727r are interchangeable. Follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268

Is the Windmobile of the S-4G available to be flashed to ICS? I've flashed a few phones, just having a hard time figuring out what variant the Windmobile version is and if it's upgradable with cyanogen to a later version, debating about upgrading tomorrow to one.

Try looking at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552119
Bhundven was able to confirm that the phones are [almost] identical with a few small differences and that flashing ROMs for the 959V should be safe. Again, read the thread for more detailed information.
Pay close attention to this warning though: "If the rom contains bootloaders, please DO NOT flash them until we can confirm there are no bootloader differences."
As FBis251 said later, "TLDR: Don't flash bootloaders if the ROM contains bootloaders. No CWM roms contain bootloaders, a lot of heimdall/odin roms contain bootloaders."

If the phone come with gingerbread installed yes. You just have to be very careful. The bootloaders we have are for the T-mobile version. So if you foul up and need to flash back to stock with bootloaders you are boned. However if you just want to flash a flavor of ics this can be done with the purple link in my signature. That will get you rooted with clockworkmod recovery then just flash one of the flavors of ics.
With all that said search is your friend, this information is posted in this subforum AND the general android forums. Our dev bhundven has a couple threads on how to do this.

I've asked people if they have the stock leaked rom for t959w to PM me, and no one has.
Someone also offered to try flashing t959v bootloaders, but never got back to me. My guess is that either it worked great and he is quietly rockin some rom in the dev forum, or it bricked his device and he didn't know what to do with it.
If someone has a t959w they are replacing, I'd like to try my hand at applying AdamOutler's unbrickable mod and experimenting with bootloaders on that device.
There is also the t959p, which is the telus galaxy s 4g.
This phone is different then the t959v or t959w. It has cg2900 gps, where as we have a-gps and there are a few other differences.
The same goes there. If someone has a t959p, I'd like to try the same.
Thanks everyone. I normally search, I was just in a rush as I was getting a new phone this morn and it was between the S 4G or the Q with the slide out keyboard, but it seems no one decided to do anything on the Q, so I went for the S 4G. I'll do lots of reading before I decide to flash or not, I just like having the option.
Hi,
I have the Japanese S2 LTE, for which there appear to be no custom ROMs. So I'll have to (urgh, this is not why I bought an Android phone) use the carrier's ROM. BUT when I try to do an OTA update, it boots into CWM. I assume this is because the OTA update is setup to work with the stock recovery. So does anyone know where I can get the stock recovery from? I assume I'll need to use Odin?
edit: more info:
Model: SC-03D
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband: SC03SOMLB9
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-SC03DOMLB9-CL980106
[email protected] #2
Build number: gingerbread.OMLB9
Also, I'm pretty sure the recovery will be the same as the Skyrocket. Almost everything about the phones is the same, save for the buttons and LTE chip.
TIA
Not sure of your model number, but a quick Google search came up with this...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, SC-03D. It's the Japanese LTE model on Docomo. The LTE radio is different, and it only has one hard button with two touch buttons (like the original Galaxy S).
That thread is titled just Galaxy S 2 - will that work on an LTE?

For any future reference - I found a complete stock Docomo ROM on SamMobile and flashed it in Odin. My phone is now being treated (by Kies/OTA update) as a fully up to date, unmodified phone. Not that that really helps, Docomo still haven't released ICS. In October 2012. Still on Gingerbread. Yep.
