[Q] Samsung Infuse CWM Without USB?

Hi XDA Developers!
I am a noobie at all of this developing stuff. Although I need some help with an old Samsung Infuse 4G. The Micro USB port is broken and I am stuck with the stock recovery for some reason. I have SuperSU installed and it works properly. The stock recovery keeps on saying "signature verification failed" when I try to download a custom ROM. I would like to flash Beanstock 4.4.2 KitKat on the device. I understand all risks of messing with CWM with a broken Micro USB port. Is there any way I can get the CWM Recovery on my device without a Micro USB port? I am very thankful for all your responses.
Thank You All In Advance,
Infuse Dude

If you have a broken usb port or one that doesn't work properly, use the stock rom that comes with it.
you will have a functional phone with a bad usb port.
If you try to install custom recovery and custom rom, you will end up with a useless piece of hardware.
fix the port or abandon your kk dream.

Oh, I knew that, but still doesnt work

I would even be really happy for ICS. As long as it is an update from this garbage Gingerbread I am fine. Well, I might as well just get the Nexus 5 for KK. But I am willing to take risks... Do you know a way to get CWM without a computer that will actually work on the Infuse 4G?

Just go Google it man. Honestly of your having trouble just getting a recovery from an app..Then you probably are not going to have a smooth time trying to flash a rom.good luck

Recommend against flashing 2.7. I would wait for a couple revisions before flashing 2.7.

Thank you sir. Didn't even Kno that app existed

Try Flashify
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349847
koeASOP 4.4.2 w/ Franco kernel + F2FS

v2.7 flashed with Flashify and everything seems to work. (backup, wipe, settings, & flash)
This update is especially faster.

What's the easiest way to update? Worth updating ?

Great app but this isn't an official one.
The XDA thread has been closed and there's no update on Google Play for 2 months.
I don't know if jmz still has other projects... Flashify is also a great app to directly flash the img files without a PC.

I heard that
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
works pretty well...

No need to use Fastboot if you already have a recovery to flash with.

It doesn't hurt to know all the options and procedures. Actually OP would have already known this if he hadn't used a toolkit to root in the first place
-1 for toolkits
But yes, options are:
Fastboot flash img
recovery install zip
Flashify flash img

Thanks to all for the help suggestions , but yeah I used a tool kit which means I don't know how to do it manually that's why I asked for the easiest way to update .

It would be good to learn how to do it manually. It's really pretty easy. And you'll know your phone better and know how to do things yourself.

Urgent help!! Somehow unrooted?

Please I need your help. I booted into CWM and then rebooted from there. It then said fix permission so root will not be lost? I clicked yes and now when I booted I have no root. But my Google animation is unlocked. Please help, what have I done!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

That prompt always screws things up, sometimes either if you press yes or no. Should stop using cwm really. Use Philz or TWRP.

Download the SuperSU .zip from here.
Reboot to recovery.
Flash .zip.
Reboot system.
Root restored.
EDIT:
Damn, @rootSU @Hammer_Of_The_Gods and I were on that.

You panic to fast which can make you make misstakes, read the first 4-5 threads in the General section well so you`ll know whats happening and for how to deal with and fix issues

Thanks so much!!! Can I install Xloud mod or beats audio thru the same method? Do I have to clear cache ?

Yes, zips go in recovery or with flashify and img files in fastboot or also flashify, no you don`t have to clear the cache.

OK one last thing! Can I install these mods with stock ROM?

I don't know from experience, but you're probably best off reading through the mod's thread and looking for compatibility issues. Most devs will write in the OP if there's a known issue, but you can't necessarily count on it. Best bet is always reading and/or searching.

Read the OP`s of the sound mod`s if they`re compatible with odexed stock, i think they are but better check it.

OK thanks. Instead of a zip would this work fine without bricking/bootloops

Update your version of cwm. It's a bug in cwm.

Are you using 6.0.4.5. I don't use cwm, I use twrp and I know it was fixed in that. It had the same problem for awhile.

Its not a bug. Its a lack of development
No recoveries on any snapdragon 800 device could get the correct time until we understood how the Qualcomm time daemon worked. Once we knew, it was implemented in Philz and TWRP. CWM doesn't bother implementing anything modern. Its a dead recovery.
