I am selling my phone and need to go back to GB,, im on a ICS rom currently
Ive gotten this far to find:
I897UCKK1 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread
With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2
Without Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2
Stock Kernel - Link 1
Kernel with CWM - Not released yet!
Do i get one with boot loaders or not boot loaders? Which out of the 3 do i download?
Go here... Stock i897ucKK4 Gingerbread 2.3.5
That is the latest official gb release. If u already have the gb bootloaders installed, then use the odin or heimdall without.

Couldn't you get more money with a custom, quick GB, ICS or even JB ROM installed?

So I recently made the move from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 and was working great no problems. I want to move to 4.1.1, so I checked my cwm version which is 6.0.1.0. That's all I did in cwm and then clicked reboot now. I got the Samsung logo then cm9 but directly after it bought me back to the home screen of cwm. What should I do??
Cwm is not distorted in anyway... just can't reboot. I'm a heavy texter/caller and would like his to be fixed ASAP!
Thanks

Have you tried taking out the battery, placing it back and powering it on?

Are you clicking on "reboot system" or "reboot recovery"?

Try to do the 3 button combo to enter recovery, then reboot.
If not, flash the ics kernel with heimdall or odin, or back to stock would be your last resort.

Follow above step and you will be fine...
I'm running cyanogen mod 9 (the zip file reads "cm-9-20120317-UNOFFICAL-infuse4g.zip") the cwm is v 6.0.1.0 I'm running ICS... the exact build from that video I shared with you just the other day... I have tried rebooting from cwm after it return s there.... and tried a battery pull and normally starting. Still brings me to cwm screen. (This was just a copy of a message)
That's a little more detail of exactly what I've tried. I did do clear everything again and try reinstall. No good.
I'm not sure how to go back to stock exactly.. since I'm now on 4.0.4, would stock be ICS now? If a link could be provided that would truly help!
Thanks

Or a post on how to flash the kernel with Odin/ heimdall.
Thanks

Stock would be only froyo or GB since those are the only official versions by at&t.
The heimdall one-click ICS kernel is linked in scott's cm10 OP and also in the guide I have on my signature.
Edit: Here is my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878458

I used this direct link for ICS
http://d-h.st/Pfr
Would this be the kernel to flash through Odin?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The file you linked is a cm9 build.
Use the heimdall one-click ics recovery, linked in the 3rd post of the guide.
Or if you prefer Odin, there is also one for that there.

Is it possible to flash from jellybean back to ice cream sandwich?
Say if I flash from a jellybean miui to cwm10 then cwm9 then miui ICS does anyone know if it will take or are the system structure too different?
Or just flash to ICS miui, just format system, caches and remount then flash, ICS miui
Or the only answer is to Odin to gingerbread and work my way up, again?

You have to go to stock...there is no bml (old file system format) conversion script at the moment

More specifically you have to use an external program like heimdall or Odin to repartition your device.
There is a link in the OP of cm10 for a Odin method with PIT (partition file)

Yes, I have done this. ( not with odin, only used CWM )
What I have found is from ICS you have to flash a GB rom, as in a new, fresh flash. Then if you have a backup of that rom you can successfully restore it thru CWM.

I soft bricked my phone on accident, So I decided to un soft brick it. So, I returned it to it's stock form. But, I installed the Rogers stock form. When I was suppose to install the AT&T stock form. Is there a way for me to change from Android Version 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD.RUXKJ7 to a 4.0.3 ICS ?
You can use Odin with the correct ics stock rom to get it back to where you want. See vicom's stickies.(in development section) They have what you need.

I tried installing the Stock files listed there multiple time, I keep getting errors.
Sammobile.com has the official files. You'll need to extract the tar.md5 file out of the zip using 7-zip and flash that with Odin.
You should also try a different usb port first as they seem to be touchy.
If Odin recovers your device you're still ok

Hi. I thank you in advance for pointers and direction. I have searched around, but want to make sure I am doing the right thing.
I have an Infuse and it is unlocked. It is running with a T-Mobile SIM card.
I downloaded Odin 3 v1.7. I successfully flashed from 2.2.1 (Froyo) to 2.3.6 Gingerbread by using this ROM/Root that I found on another thread here:
************ OPTION C *************
I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.rar
Features in this version
- Entropy's Daily Driver kernel
- Red CWM recovery
- Rooted
- Deodexed
- Zipaligned
- Busybox
- AT&T and other bloatware removed
- Scrolling wallpaper fix
- CRT off animation
- 8 lock screens
- Extended power menu
- Accurate battery mod
The phone is working properly on the new firmware.
I would like to jump up one more firmware to Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean. Every method I can find seems to include root, and I am already rooted. That happened when I ran "option C" from above.
What is my next step? Can I simply flash a Gingerbread ROM through Odin (after, of course, putting the Infuse in "download" mode)?
You need to flash a (ics) rom from the CWM RECOVERY of the phone not using odin and then you can flash a jellybean 4.xx rom.

Cool. Thank you! I am not sure how to do either of those things. At least now I have some research to do.

My wife finally allowed me to upgrade her phone.. So I've recently just tried out these steps it's amazing to me that jelly bean 4.2.2 cm10.1 runs better than stock gingerbread. Only down side is no mhl.

Ok, I did a little research and I am more clear on the process - (download rom, put it on sd card, flash it using Clockword Mod while in recovery mode). I do have a question. Does it matter what version of CWM that is on my phone?

When I flashed cwm it was red recovery, which is what you stated you had in the first post by choosing option c
You'll have to flash ICS before flashing jelly Bean when you flash ICS it'll change the cwm to a more current one.

one last check ...
Let me check one last time before I do something stupid:
I have a rooted and unlocked (T-mobile service) Infuse. I had stock Froyo 2.2.1. I used Option C from a thread here that rooted it and gave me RED recovery. I used Odin and flashed the "extras" package.
I currently have build #: Gingerbread.UCLB3, kernal version: 2.6.25.7-I997ruxkg3-cl366622, firmware 2.3.6.
I would like to experiment with flashing up to ICS, maybe Jelly Bean.
My understanding is that I can simply drop a ICS rom onto my SD card and flash it from red recovery. Then I do do the same process to move to Jelly Bean.
Am I correct? Am I missing anything? Thank you ALL soooo much for guidance. I am learning and will pass it on!

Its really hard to screw things with this phone specialy.....
Yeah.....its typed on Note 3.
Ok, I followed the directions provided and flashed Infinitum ICS. All works well with the rom. Recovery is distorted. I see directions which include Heimdall to correct the recovery.
Does that process just correct the recovery or does it revert me back to something other than Infinitum Rom? if so, can I repeat the process to get the rom back?
My next step will them be to move to jelly bean and be happily ever after.

When you update your phone you don't flash the gingerbread bootloaders right, you only need to flash the gingerbread bootloaders and that will fix the problem.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok, I blew it. Flashed back to Gingerbread.UCLB3, firmware 2.3.6 with Heimdall. Recovery is still totally distorted/unreadable.
Next move? I assume I should flash a Gingerbread bootloader. Where would I find the right one? I don't want to screw this up. Then I can move to ICS and then JB with no issues, right?
I 100% appreciate your help and I SWEAR I will pass along what I am learning to a newbie as soon as I get a chance!

Hey! It looks like I corrected the issue before you messaged back. I ran Heimdall again. Thought I had blown it. Screen went all speckled red yellow and blue on me. It was kinda pretty. I booted in download mode and it was speckled, too. I followed the steps to download mode even thought I could not see the screen. I flashed through Heimdall again, it ran properly, and then booted into download mode and ran with "bootloaders" checked. It seems all is well. Recovery mode is working (no distortion) and is blue (Android system recovery 3e).
Can I follow the steps I took to go to ICS and then JB (if I decide to go to JB) now with no other issues?
Dude, I really appreciate your guidance.

Ok but remember if you now have the (android system recovery 3e) you need to obtain the (CWM recovery) again to be able to flash custom roms on your device, flash the UCLB3 gingerbread 2.3.6 rooted with CWM.
