Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

every roms which are working on AT&T infuse will work on Rogers infuse (I'm using a rogers one as well)
for GB I recommend Rogers stock 2.3.3 or MIUI galnet
for ICS I strongly recommend Paranoid !

Okay excellent, thank you
if my infuse came stock with GB, will and ICS rom work on it?

Yes, it will. The advantage of us having the Rogers version of the Infuse is that we have Gingerbread bootloaders. This means that if we ever want to flash ICS, we are not bound to get "rainbow" recoveries.
As for flashing ICS, please read a lot before you flash. It is best to know every single thing to avoid problems.
If you need any help, you can PM me.
Good luck!

Yes, any ics ROM would work just fine on the Rogers' phone (I am another Rogers user on custom ROM - Remics 1.3). Make sure you have a good backup and a working recovery firmware (Get CWM ROM Manager from Play store and flash ClockworkMod Recovery) before flashing. Recovery firmware is key for flashing - both for successful flashing as well as recovering from a failed one.
Good luck!

I never trust Rom manager...its been known to cause bricks for some...
You can also get recovery from the second post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
If you plan on flashing ics you will have to double flash though...

+1. ...and sometimes restoring a backup that was made using rom manager does not work. The only thing I use rom manager for now is to rename my backup (give it a "name" versus a "date")

Ah okay, I got the clockwork mod recovery with Odin so am I good if I wanna flash an ics? And what's meant by double flash?

Okay. Here follow these instructions very well.
- Go to CWM recovery
- Go to backups and restore
- Backup current ROM (should take around 5 minutes)
- Download ICS ROM of your liking
- Put it on your phone (internal SD NOT external)
- Go back to CWM
- Wipe data
- Wipe cache
- Go to advanced, and then wipe dalvik cache there
- Flash the ROM
- Reboot
- It will be stuck at Samsung Logo with Cyanogenmod logo as well... I advise you to wait 30 seconds and THEN pull-out battery
- Put battery back on
- Reboot phone
- Go to Mounts and Storage
- Wipe system, data, and cache
- Flash the exact same ROM you flashed earlier
- Reboot
- SUCCESS!
Now, you might encounter APN Settings (data not working) problems.. I advise you to find the APN settings here on XDA (I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada so I cannot provide these.)
ALSO, if you run into problems with Google apps (I assumed you downloaded a ROM that already has them), download the "gapps" file. Link should be found on the OP of the ROM post you downloaded.
Have fun!

Stuck in endless boot animation every time I try to flash a rom

I rooted and flashed cm10.1 on my galaxy tab 2 7.0 and I messed it up so I restored from a backup and everything works fine again. But I hate stock touchwiz so I tried flashing cm10.1 again and just got an endless boot animation so I had to restore again, then I tried paranoid android and I got the endless boot animation, then I tried slim bean and I got the same thing again. Why is my tablet doing this? I really want to get a custom ROM and I can't, can someone please explain how to fix this, even if it involves a full factory reset etc. I am willing to do anything to get this to work.

Reboot Issue

Okay so I bought a Blaze a few days ago and I was messing around with it and I rooted it. When I rooted it I flashed a ROM and when the ROM booted up and got to the welcome screen it instantly turned rebooted itself, so I let it boot up again but it constantly reboots. Then I went back to a backup of the stock ROM and it still does the same thing. So I followed a guide that updated me to the ICS update in hopes of it fixing it but it still does the same thing! Now I don't know what to do with it. I was hoping maybe someone can help or if this has happened to anyone? Thanks in advance

Yes I did all of that like a billion times and still nothing

I see you only have ten post so my first question is are you just new to xda and have knowledge and experience with root and recovery and custom roms or is this all new to you?

Yes, the miui we have has a link to racing's blue lightning. I would try miui or another ROM again, but make sure to format /system along with wiping data, cache, and davlik. Or use black hole wipe. If you don't have anything important on the internal SD (or back it up) it might be worth it to format the emmc also.

[Q] How to install custom recovery after root?

first things first. I'm a noob. HAHA. but i'm willing to learn.
I recently rooted my phone by using chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT and it has stock recovery on it. Now, I want to install a custom recovery, specifically cwm recovery. How will be able to do this? Do I have to unroot then root again? a step by step info will be appreciated. thanks

First of all find a cwm file for ur device specific to the model u have on google. Flash it with Odin n u will have the recovery.

done finding cwm file that's compatible with my tab
Flashing? not really that well with android terms yet. after clicking "pda" then selecting the cwm file, should I click start? is that what you meant by flashing?
I appreciate your help.

Yeah first go to download mode holding power and volume down button and select the file in the PDA section n just click on start. And wait till pass. appears on the Odin screen. That's it.

I also would like to install cm 10.2. is it stable? I tried searching and I found pac rom and if i'm not mistaken 3 custom roms are installed into 1 rom.
I also would like to ask if it is really necessary to wipe all data before installing a new rom? and if so, would apps like titanium backup pro would be able to backup every single app or information that is in my tab/

Yeah u have to wipe cache and dalvik cache. 10.2 nighties r stable. No issues with me.

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

[Q] its not possible flash any custom roms

Hi everybody, i got seriously problem. I tried all possible solution to flash my i9003 but without any results. Anytime when i try install any zip file with Custom Rom my phone just write message Can't open /sdcard/RemICS.....zip (bad)
Instalation aborted....
What is wrong with it???? Its Galaxy i9003, reflashed with Odin to Gingerbread DDLF2, with root and Custom Recovery. Iam wanna throw it tru window Any ideas please??? I could not find anything when i google it. thanks for any advice.

Try another rom like resurection Remix or cm10.1 alpha9.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

don't format system after flashing ddlf2.
directly install 10.2 or any custom rom over it.
procedure =
1) flash ddlf2
2) root it
3) go to recovery and directly install 10.2 or any rom you like.
4) wipe data/reset. (optional)
(don't format anything or else it will give you
that error)
hope this helps you.

thanks
very thanks people, i did it exactly as you recomended, but still i got the same error its my first phone what i can not flash...very sad But thanks for your advice.

Are the Roms that you're trying to flash based on 4.3?
If yes in CWM recovery go to "mounts and storage" and mount all that is unmounted.
Than flash the Rom.
It worked for me.
You can even try to redownload the Rom file, it can be corrupted.
Cheers

Lol, people still use this phone?

I had this phone like 4 years ago, my first smartphone ever. Loved it, eventually traded it with my brother for a laptop.
