Make a cup of coffee and read all the stickies. Get your software version and follow the procedures for your software version after reading and understanding the procedure. It is always assumed you have a working knowledge of adb, fastboot and the search feature. If it seems too overwhelming to read and understand please dont root. The fact that you have to ask for a link leads me to believe this is above you.

I had a similar issue. All I did was install rom manager from the market and flash clockwork recovery. Choose your phone type whether its the s or the s 4g and you should be good to go.

its in /etc, you have to rename install.recovery.sh to something else. add .bak to the end of the file name. then flashing cw via fastboot will stick.
Yea I tryed installing cwm from the market and I get am error message when trying to flash a recovery

Okay, it sounds like you have no idea what you're doing because you didn't read the guide. Rooting this phone is so extremely easy.
boot into boot loader
fastboot oem unlock
then download recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then you can boot into recovery and flash custom roms
and also since you are posting here i'm sure you didn't read the rooting guide
Ummm... did you read my first post? I'm new to samsungs and the nexus I just came from the evo read before you speak

Cool story brah, that's why there's a Q and A section, for questions and answers. I see you used the search bar too...

Here's how to fix your problem.
I ran into the same problem yesterday, it looks like you flashed the 2.3.5 ROM called Full Android. It seemed to have overwritten my recovery and is not a rooted ROM. Just reflash clockwork via the sdk and pick a rooted ROM, Pete Alfonso has a great stock rooted GRJ90 ROM fyi.
Follow the one click root way. Its easy did mine in 2 minutes yesterday. Its posted in the same forum,and also theres a video.

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.
Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

Hi!
I'm selling my Infuse and somebody ask me if the phone is unlocked. How do I know if the phone is unlocked? I know that is rooted with CM9, because I install it.
Thank you for the help.
Put a t mobile sim in it & see if it works (go to a t mobile store).
Or visit the ROM xda thread you flashed & read the op weather it unlocks it. My understanding was cm unlocks phone also

CM does not unlock your phone. There are instructions linked from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610374 that explains how to do it. This is what I did, it worked fine. I've used my phone with three carriers on two continents without any problems.

Of course you won't as long as your bootloader is unlocked. Make sure that you are running an stock rom or you will get stuck.
OK thats where my confusion sets in. R u saying just be on stock? Bc I can't flash any roms anyways. But the RUU. Does that affect me? I'm confused about it.
Is there a good step by step tutorial on what I need to do to get the phone so I can flash roms from the stage I'm at now?
Thank you

Ok, Let me be precise about your issue, I don't know what someone told you, you shouldn't care that much either...all you need to do is to follow instructions in the Hack Kit site and effen manual. Do not do what other people tell you to do...you will get stuck that way.
If your phone was already downgraded, then you can just run the Hack Kit to hack your device directly without the need to do it again. Paste the Hack Kit session in here or in pastebin.com and I will help you, but do not deviate from the instructions or try something different.
Have you locked your bootloader again?
Thank you soooo much. No I was having serious issues getting the computer to recognize adb drivers so I haven't locked thebootloader back yet. I'm trying again to get them installed. I will then run the hack kit again.. But at that point I don't think I should run it bc ill still have root access or does that matter? I will paste the script once I get it. Thank u again

There is one method in the android development section it has been there for months and it's the first post. There are to others that have been updated since it was posted last year also in the android development section. Lastly all the methods work you just have to CAREFULLY follow directions.
Yes its hard yo find all the tight files I have Odin 307 I think do you know if that will work with the files?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will work.
Is it beanstwon method that you are referring to?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it doesn't require Odin. It is just a one click method.
Oh OK I read a lot of the comments and they are positive feedback but as I watched on this guy on YouTube his comment section are loaded with this "messed up my phone" or "don't do this this doesn't work" very little comments that said this worked for me. If this doesn't work on the first try I understand using another USB port on the computer is an option and using a different cord other than the one Samsung gives you is also an option. Is there anything to know about before doing this? This phone s my daily driver and I really don't want to have to use a prepaid phone.
And Should I also download the stock ROM not rooted before doing in case it does like some kind of soft brick?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well I have never tried the one click method as I use Odin to root my phone. So get the stock roms as backup in case you run into problems with casual.
OK thank you so much for the advice and I'll shall let you know what happens.

If you hard brick your phone you send it to jtag and pay them to get it fixed because nothing else works.
If you are feeling squeamish about the whole thing then it is probably a better idea not to do it.

No you will need jtag services to fix hardware bricks.

Just thought you might like to know that I just used CASUAL this morning to root my galaxy s3 on Verizon build VRBMF1 with no problem. CASUAL unlocks the bootloader and installs TWRP which I like so far. Just make sure you grab the right download and if it doesn't work the first time try again with a different mirror. There's a version of it floating around out there that for some reason wouldn't work with my drivers.
Hope this helps ease your mind a little. Oh btw I probably read 1000 posts about rooting and the best method and someone claims to have bricked their with every single one of them. It's a risk we take.
