Hi all
I'm new to this stuff and want to upgrade my Infuse from Gingerbread (which I installed via Kies when the update was finally made available) to Jellybean. However, from what I've gathered, I can't use the Super One Click program to root my phone with 2.3.6, and since I'm new to this, I don't want to brick the phone. What would you suggest I use to first root the phone? I have found plenty of stuff here, but I am unclear whether I can use the stuff posted since I've already upgraded to Gingerbread (vs. the 2.2 stock). After that, am I correct in understanding that I then just back up my info via something like Titanium Backup and then pick a custom ROM I like and flash it? Thanks, and sorry in advance for what I am sure are really stupid questions.
Look in this thread i know u find what ur looking for"

thanks! so just to confirm (sorry, i am still unclear about all this stuff): i download odin and whatever option (you suggest c), along w/ the kies drivers. i install the kies drivers on the phone, then reboot in download mode and run odin. and this will take my version of gingerbread and make it rooted? does it wipe the data off my phone? if so...is there any step along the process in which i can back things up? if it doesn't wipe the phone, after its rooted, i can use one of the programs (like titanium backup) to back up my data, and then install whatever ROM i want, right?
thanks again for the help!

Well with the option C u will get gingerbread 2.3.6 with the red CWM recovery and root at the same time so u can istall a custom rom and yes this procedure will wipe your contacts, messages, apps etc. To use titanium backup u must be rooted there is a way to back up your data i gonna look for the link and share with u.

Here is a Flashable zip of the stock UCLE2 leak for your device. Not a system dump, but the pure files from the zip taken from the Odin package.
Will not break root, but you need to flash superuser.
Also, this does not destroy cwm.
Use it to your heart's content.

I didn't even try to boot into CWM. My understanding is that the ZIP file contained the files extracted from the oneclick. The oneclick installed a new bootloader which would have wiped out recovery, so I just installed CWM with odin based on the assumption it wasn't there.

hi guys i was using my phone with cm7 rom and cm7 050 stable kernel i just wanted to change my kernel. I tried to install harsh kernel from the CWM ( i got cwm by rom manager) and i installled harsh kernel but it said SD CARD DAMAGED so i couldnt use camera etc. I got cwm by same method after that i installed my old cm7 050 stable kernel. But phone has not been starting since i installed my old cm7 050stable it always goes to cwm. I tried a lot of combinations (kernel+rom, rom+kernel,just rom, just kernel.) I started to use NVFlash since my phone always gets cwm. After all i did stock recovery.(NO ROOT after that step BECAUSE I DID STOCK RECOVERY) My phone was not going to cwm anymore it was going to somewhere i think back up screen and stock there. i again installed stock rom and kernel. My phone goes to cwm always.
what do i need to do.
thank you..:crying:

ok. i will let you know what happens.
After that if u need cwm just install rom manager from the market and flash cwm recovery from it.
I could tell u a more direct approach to all that but I m telling u the linear way so whenever u mess up the device and want quick solution u know u can flash this gb v21e rom.
After u r in control of rooting , cwm flashing, n nvflashing ... just search for anything u want in this g2x forum and play with it... as long as u r not frying the device using extreme overclocking ..( which I can tell u this device is capable of sustaining but NOT RECOMMENDED) u r safe

Your first line was terrible advice just saying^.^
To the OP, never use ROM Manager to flash CWM because your probably gonna end up with the same situation again where something goes wrong, always use Nvflash to flash CWM, its always much much safer and its recommended by pretty everyone in these forums, so if you wana go around hacking and stuff on your phone never use ROM Manager
Hope this helped

Lol actually u forgot the fact the Guy did use nvflash earlier and messed up the device .... its all about how u want the people to learn. As I mentioned ealier its not a direct method but Cwm through rom manager always works if u r reading it right. I.e when u don't have cwm flashed before and choosing the right model.... I didn't wanted him to accidently flash a imcompatible cwm or stock one as he did ealier only to get Bck where he started .... dun think everyone is a pro .... the guy needs learning space .... let him play with what he has. He will get into groove by himself .

The only thing rom manager is good for on the p999 is downloads roms. Don't use it for cwm please it doesn't work u need a computer and nvflash only way it works. If you are using rom manager it will eventually brick

Like most people said. Use NVFLASH to backup and to load/flash ROMs ONLY.
BTW I recommend you to use the Hellfire Phoenix ROM. It is based on the CM7.2 and it works without changing our Windmobile baseband.

I have successfully flashed Touch Wiz based ROMs but every time I try to flash anything else the GAPPs file does't flash right or the ROM in general soft boots. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am currently running CleanRom 5.0....runs perfectly. But I can't get any CyanogenMod or AOKP roms to flash properly. I use clockworkmod recovery 6.1 (something like that).I am on the lastest radio and modem. I have never flashed a kernel.

Gapps are only got the Aokp and Aosp roms. No need to flash then with TW roms. That may be your problem.

You should just use the ex recovery to install the recovery, I use cwm, then boot into recovery wipe everything, flash ROM, flash gapps reboot and enjoy. Make sure you used ez unlock version 1.2 from rootzwiki and you should be good. Like I said what is the file name of your gapps seen people use old ones that caused problem.

The GAPPS I flashed was the one that the instructions for installing the ROM told me to flash. Hard to remember the number because different ROMs had different GAPPs. EZ Unlocker 1.4? You may be on to something. Not sure which one I used because I hadn't loaded it back on after the last flash. But it is possible I used the current version instead of 1.4. Should I install the correct version....do a lock and then an unlock? And try again?

You need 1.2 from rootzwiki. version 1.4 causes problems.

Sorry I meant 1.2.....I will try that. Thnks
Ive just rooted my phone and am keen to try a new ROM.
I am using TWRP 2.3.3.0 and Rom manager
Im just wondering about a couple of things and need a bit of help please.
First off i know i need to back up my stock ROM but every time i try i get a failed message "E:unable to locate sd-ext partition" do i need to partition my sd card to create backup?
After installing a new ROM will any of my existing data, apps etc be left on the phone or will i have to restore all that? I have it all backed up with TB anyway so its not a problem if i have to but i cant find any info on the process regarding the One s.
Can anyone recommend a good custom ROM to start off with?
Thanks
Viper2-0.0 it's your best bet and I'm not sure of you can back yup stock Rom .

Thanks for your advice. All the guides I can find do say you can back up stock Rom but don't say anything about having to partition the sd card. Not sure what to do now, really don't want to brick my phone.
