Good morning. Let me try to help you out... There are a ton of detailed instructions in the forum for your device. Below I am giving you the link to the General forum. Check out the thread titles to find the things you're looking for, and definitely read the stickies at the top of the forum. Nobody is going to retype everything that's already right there, but there are helpful people who will answer questions if you have them after reading the guides for yourself first. Check 'em out:

If you haven't rooted the device and it has Android on it then you are on the stock ROM right now. So, follow any of the guides written out for your device (link above), which will tell you how to first root the device, then to install something called Clockworkmod Recovery ("CWM" it will be called), and then to make a backup of your stock ROM ("nandroid" it will be called). From that point you can read more about custom ROMs and start to have fun. Read first though, trust me. It's worth the time to make sure you don't brick the thing by doing something you shouldn't have.
Enjoy.

thanks a lot friend i ll try it for sure

I don't know what a root file is, but if you go to that forum all the root guides and links are stickies. Thank you so much. I needed that. Lol. You literally just quoted the answer to your own question. Like, someone asked a question, I answered it (last summer lol), then you quoted my answer to ask the same question. Oh, this made my day. Thank you... lol.
In case that's unclear... my answer to your question is the answer you quoted. Ah, I love it. Cheers, mate. I don't mean this as rude, it's just hysterically awesome. :good:

you can find it on galaxy s2 subforum for custom rom, custom recovery and root tools
if you have installed the custom recovery and root, do a nandroid back up of your current ROM (system, boot, data) in case you want to go back to your old rom

*Yeah right...you cannot insult people and then saying 'no mean to insult'. Just letting you know smartypants... I dont say this to insult you...as you say
Thread given in link was far to complicated and needed TO MUCH search (my opinion). I found the file to another thread. By saying root file I mean the file I need to root my phone. I found a file called SU or smthng like that. Thank you though mate.

How to install custom rom

I am a new android user. I am learning little by little about this phone. Does anyone know how to install custom rom on infuse? I got my phone rooted already.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. First of all you have to be rooted. PM me if you need help with that. Which ROM do you want to flash? There are two that are working well, Infused and refuse. Refuse needs to use odin though, and infused usually doesnt. Just hit me up and I'll send you detailed instructions via PM. We dont need more clutter in these boards.

since the this thread is already started i do have a few noob questions if someone is willing to answer
you should ask.
Look at the thread that I made in the dev section and post questions there. They will be answered
Sent from my 4.5' Infuse 4g: Currently running Infused v1.3.1 w/ voodoo lagfix. Thank you gtg465x!
k will look there first and guess go from there. I have been hesitant to ask cuz always afraid they have been asked or wrong place to ask. Ive looked thru so many pages that i probably saw the answers to some of my questions but read them as a blur. I come from an iphone and with so many android phones seems so confusing at times.

If you look under the captivate android development section you will find a beginner's guide that will explain how to flash a custom rom. It would be very difficult to show you here as it involves numerous steps and is dependent on what your current set up is on your phone. If you have questions pm me

[Q] (Samsung Infuse) How do I install Roms that are RAR, Zip, etc.

Can anyone please post on this thread on how to install a Rom on a Samsung Infuse? I have downloaded the current ROM for it and do not know how to do it. I have found some directions on YouTube but to no avail. This would help others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160
And this belongs in the Questions section.
What ROMs are you referring to exactly? All custom ROMs are flashable through CWM recovery. The "official" gingerbread leaks from przekret are only flashable through Odin or Heimdall. Directions for both of these methods already exists in infuse general and infuse q&a sections. I would suggest a google search with something like this:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com samsung infuse how to install ROM via Odin
It'll tell google to ONLY search xda-developers.com for your search term. The xda search sucks (IMO).
yo have to root the phone and have CWM instaled then you can flash what you want....and this is not a development question...please post in right section
I know but seemed like I wasnt getting a good response so I decided to quickly ask here.
I am referring to SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT.RAR
I promise I will remove soon and put in the correct section to help others with similar question.
I do not have rooted phone so I downloaded the ROM that was non-rooted

If that is the leak from prezkret thread, you'll need to extract the rar and there should be a tar.md5 in there (if memory serves). You will need to use Odin to flash this on your device so being rooted is not necessary. Put your phone into download mode, connect it to your pc, fire up odin and put the tar.md5 that is within this rar into the pda slot. That's all you'll need to do.
there is a tar.md5 this really helps. thankyou

So, because you were impatient, you felt a need to break the rules of this forum and post in a section you are explicitly not suppost to post new threads in unless the thread is for something YOU have created?
What makes you think you are so special and are allowed to break the rules?
Also, I just looked through your posting history - you didn't even TRY to post in Q&A.
The bible will give you everything you will ever possibly need...

Root, recovery, ROM, radio/modem, tweaks, mods, themes, ect...
Please remember to use the thanks button to anyone who has helped you.
I think since you posted this question here and by some of the things you have said, you should wait on doing anything to your phone. I'm not trying to be mean but you really don't seem like you know what you are doing and that you need to do some research first. If not you'll have another post asking how to unbrick your phone. Do some reading.

That I'd what I did. I read all of the instructions from every rom thread and then hung out on IRC before I even attempted to flash a ROM
I still bricked it a few times, even partially broke download mode
Plenty of information on this forum to help you. All you need to do is search.

Got to love it

So I post a thread about asking a question in this forum . And instead of getting help , I get opinions and a closed thread . Must feel like a big man closing threads on people who ask questions or ask for something that's not on here yet .
Awesome help . Thanks again .

Excuse me? Not to be "a big man" but what is your issue? I am not aware of the question you asked or where you asked it, but there is probably a good reason it was closed. Do us all a favor and stop before you say something you'll regret.

Not sure what happen in that post.
What you can do is flash cwm recovery, use the cwm backup of the 1.84.
Once done you can flash back TWRP recovery again and make a backup of your phone using TWRP recovery.
A little long process but should work since there's not a TWRP backup of 1.84.

Well, as I do agree that his "question" should have been answered, I still believe that was completely uncalled for and inappropriate to post this thread.

This post certainly is inappropriate... but I do agree with OP
He asked a legit question in the right forum? What was the big deal???
Sorry I don't have a clean backup for u. Hopefully u find what u r looking for. Or, u can just flash ruu in bootloader as was suggested.

Okay I agree making a thread for getting no help or even an answer was pretty lame , your right . BUT it is the only way for people to see what is going on . I did ask a legit question in the right forum and I still get flamed by senior members in an absolutely inappropriate way . And thread closed before I can answer back . Now I call that freaking lame .

I saw your post and didn't think it out of line, just had no nandroid
baseballfanz suggestion was way to go
flash cwr, install stock nandroid, flash twrp, back up--done in 10-15 minutes

Dont forget to fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the firmware pack available somewhere around here...updated radio, wifi, kernel and dsp images that won't flash with CWR.
cwr 5.8.3.1 is now available thru Rom Mgr if you don't have fastboot
nandroid will restore all but radio if you want a different radio then you have--that is true for cwr or twrp
so barring radio--which is a whole different set of procedures--it still should take only 15 minutes
less time than all these posts took--

First off, You did NOT post in the right section, you posted in General and you should have posted in Q&A.
Secondly this thread is useless and as such will be closed, however.....
Lastly, I don't know why exactly it was closed, but I will reopen the original thread and contact the mod that closed it to see what his reason was.

Question

Hi to you All.
I just have a Question and i really have no experience with this forum ( new to it ).
I don't know where to post my question, I posted it in a reply in some Threads but i didn't get any answer, so i posted it here and if there is anything wrong feel free to tell me in-order to learn .
I have a new international Samsung GT-N7100, and i wanna root it and put fine Rom in it.
How can i know that is a good Rom for me? What makes a Rom better than the others? Does Rooting legal or illegal?
Note: please send me a message with the comments and answers so that i can see it, because for my 1st time sure i will be lost .
Thanks in advance
This should belong to Q&A section....
