If you searched and read, you'd have ur answer already.

rooting
i did search and read. that's how i arrived a the point that i did. if you can't help me, why bother to respond at all. just to lord your knowledge over me? how rude and pompous!

You can't root 2.3.6 UCLB3 with SOC. In fact, it can't be rooted very easily. What I did, because I'm a noob and was afraid of going back to Froyo to get to a rooted UCLB3, was this:
I flashed back to stock UCKK1 (no data loss experienced doing this)
Rooted with unlockroot (which, strangely, no longer lists this build as rootable. Don't know why, but it worked on the second attempt for me.)
Installed CWM and did nandroid backup
Flashed the rooted UCLB3 from Dman
(I later flashed the entropy kernel 'cuz it's great! You'll see why when you boot up in the rooted UCLB3.)
That's what I did, but you ought to read through Qkster's posts on this. I used some of his Heimdalls for this - he knows what he's doing. Most people on here say that your mileage may vary - with my advice, I'd say your mileage may greatly vary!

Here is a how-to. UCLB3 can be rooted on your phone, no need to install another rom to do it. Read and re-read, this thread wasn‘t too far down from the one you made.:

Great guide jscott30. Yours along with qkster's noob guide and qbking77's videos on youtube walked this noob here through flashing my way to total Infuse Emancipation. Pretty much hassle-free, no problems or bootloops of any kind...although I did update to 2.3.6 through Kies first...what can I say...noob here Odin easily took care of that though taking me back to stock Froyo.
From there it was easy following all the instructions and tips posted on these boards. My advice to all 1st timers is read and do your research. Don't blow up your phone on a whim simply to have one that looks "cool" or does something different.
If you do run into problems the search button here and on google are quite helpful.
Peace

I am also a noob an had my son talk me through the process on the phone. I also had a rooting issue after getting 2.3.6 through Kies. I used the Odin process to gain root and then loaded CWM to be able to flash the phone easily. I am on CM7 now but am having an issue with my Bluetooth not working no. Does anyone have an answer for this problem? All I get in the BT now is static.
Thanks for the help,
Gary

Bluetooth audio is known not to work in CM7 on the Infuse. Probably want to stick with an Infuse based rom if you need BT audio.

BT Issue response to response
My son has his working on CM7 and he says the BT works for his phone headset use at least. Mine is not. Is there a better ROM other than a stock build that I should use? Since I am not a developer and am close to being totally clueless in all of this, I guess you could say I am not even smart enough to be a good dangerous. Probably a bad dangerous however.
Thanks.

Does he have the same type of phone and no roms are better than others it's a matter of personal taste but if you want everything working a infuse based rom is your best choice

Jerry,
Yes, he also has an Infuse. I had mine upgraded to the 2.3.6 over Kies and then some of the apps, not sure which ones or how many), would not load and work without locking up the unit and causing it to go into an endless reboot loop so he helped me find the Odin unlock and reload files so that I could get ClockWork Mod to work, and then he got me to the CM7 files from Steve Morrissey's listing. Now everything works but the BT and i use that all the time when talking on the phone so it is kind of important.

audio BT is not functional on CM7. Source code issues.
If BT is a must, you'll have to try one of the native infuse roms.
idk if bt works on port...I've not tried the ports long enough to know.
Try Spartan, PharmNerd, Dev, Aeon, Midagu Eman etc...or just stock uclb3

what qk said if you need more help check out the links under qk's signiture also feel free to pm me

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is a possible time when the BT will be able to be working in CM7? I really like the overall build and the way it works but I really do not want to have to use a wired headset too much.
Thanks again for putting up with those of us that have so little knowledge.

From what I understand the source code for the Bluetooth drivers was never released and that is why it does not work did you get tethering working
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Jerry,
With CM7 the tethering works really well on USB and while slower, it does work as a wireless hotspot as well. I really like the CM7 so I hate to go elsewhere just because of the BT issue but.... Do you know of any specific other ROMSs that behave and look similar to CM7 that have the BT and tethering working?
Thanks,
Gary

no i dont sorry i liked cm7 when i tried it but at the time i wasnt using bt and like i said in my pm i have never used tethering sorry i couldnt be more help you might want to try imancipation it has alot of themes and a ota app to download them with

bricked i727r

Ok...
All I wanted to do was flash a custom rom on my Rogers I727R so I could get on my laptops adhoc network.
FoxHound_Otacon_V1_LP4_ICS_GSII_By_SnakeS.zip Seemed to be the right choice.
Rooted phone fine, but couldn't seem to get into cwg with the button combonation.
Heard of Rom Manager so ran that, it began flashing the new rom...
The linux text was in italian for some reason, and then I read errors regarding permissions?
Rebooted phone. MF Bricked.
Bought a usb jig, took about two weeks to arrive, followed the jig instructions, still cant get the phone to turn on.
Used a multimeter to check battery voltage, it's reading 3.665v, should be enough?
Any ideas? Besides having Rogers send it back to Samsung and wait 3 weeks, do I have any other options? Cheers.... ...

Nope but where did you get that rom is is a 727 or 989 rom

You flashed a ROM from a different phone. Its toasted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Yup u need jtag. Service. And also need to only flash i727 or t989 roms

*rubs eyes* f..I thought it said SG2...oh man...
What'll happen if Samsung gets ahold of it? Will they just send it back and say sol?

Sgs2 skyrocket very different then sgs2

rogers dont send your phone to samsung and make you wait 3 weeks, they send you a refurbished GS2 and a return box to put your broken phone and return it back to them. I've do this many times over the past 5 years ive been with them and they never made me wait for any repair

Man, I feel sorry for you. . However, it is not like it is "fried" or anything. A "repair" service is needed to reload the firmware etc.
EDIT: Yeah, try what polish_pat says. TELL THEM YOU TRIED AN OTA SOFTWARE UPDATE, and then the phone just died.
BUT, where the heck did you get the ROM from. Seriously, how could you even THINK of flashing something you had no clue about.
With all respect man, this is a thread all newbies should read. Even when I myself flash ANYTHING I am so tense, even after reading till I get a headache.
Contact adam outler on the forums here. Search for user "Adam Outler". PM him. He will ask you t mail your phone. He is a king in repairs. He has all kinds of hardware tools, and he won't gyp you with exorbitant prices.
Good luck !!

I thought I727r and I9100 were the same thing...argh..
I'll try rogers then on Tuesday and update.
If someone can someone point me to a good rom for I727r so I can get adhoc going when I get my phone back I'd really appreciate it, I really need wifi and adhoc is my only option where I'm located.
Got the rom from galaxys2root.com, didn't realize it wssnt for I727R.

Does the USB jig get you into download by ANY chance? Just by fluke or something ! You said you used a jig.
In ht meantime also look for member Adam Outler and PM him. He always has thousand tricks up his sleeve.

Only if soft brick. You have a hard brick

I did the same thing, people keep saying Odin doesn't work for us Canadians, it does, use Odin on your PC, find stock Rogers ROM, flash that, should fix it, and more questions about how, pm me

Who said Odin didn't work on the i727r? There's even a stock tar file for the i727r. Never heard that before, Sorry bruh but if the phone won't kick into download mode then she's toast

Odin with i727r
Actually what I read here was:
"NOTE: Rogers users double check to make sure each thread you are reading is compatible with your S2 LTE (I727R) before taking action! As a general tip, the ICS leak Odin TAR files are incompatible with the Rogers S2 LTE."
Not the same thing as Odin not working on Rogers' phones.

[Q] Service issues please help

Hello friends,
I have constantly been flashing back and forth through roms because i want to be up to date. I really enjoy Aeon Rom because of the service it gives me. It seems like I have the best service with this rom. I just flashed paranoid jb rom and i dont have good service. I was wondering if there is anyway to change something so I can be receiving better service like i do from Aeon. Thanks guys.

What do you mean with service?? Network signal?? Wifi Signal??

Hey I mean my network connection. The wifi on infuse isnt so great so yea... But my network is weird because out of all the roms the Aeon rom gives me the best network connection and i would like it to be that way with all the roms. Is there a fix to it?

Sure try changing your modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869159
Check the modem used on AEON and flash it on your JB.

it reads no sim card
I'm having the same problem, but after I flashed Aeon it worked for a while. It gave me Red recovery, which I thought that I read somewhere on here that It was back for my particular infuse. I decided it had too many bugs and restarts, so I was going back to CyanagenMod. I can't remember if my phone quit reading my sim card before trying to flash cyan or before wiping aeon. I'm still having issues. I went back to stock and still...nada. Im lost on what to do.

The ROMs dont do that (broke your SIM card), try another SIM or try your SIM on another phone. This will help to know what happens.

I've noticed that once I've flashed either ICS or jb, my service is 90% of the time on 3g. When I was still on GB, I always had Hspeeds.

Help please, quickly

I have a short time before my dad goes back to florida, I gave him my old captivate that I haven't touched in a year that I setup for him on Straight talk. The fone is not rooted or hacked in anyway. Here's what I need to do before he leaves.
I need to root it for starters
I need to enable wifi hotspot for him
but heres the catch. I need it to stay on a somewhat stock ROM because that's what he's used to and he'll be 1900 miles away and I won't be able to help with his little issues of "how do I do this"
Please Help
This is all stuff I had done before I gave it to him and my brain is completely overloaded trying to read up on the captivate now.

Need more info from u.. What Stock is the phone runnin, etc.
I recommend Stock GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4. And u can use Odin to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A that has CWM Recovery that u can get Root through. Then just use Titanium Backup to remove or freeze all of the bloatware. Should be good after that.
Would have posted sooner but work is my day job...and xda i do for fun when able :thumbup:

Any thought of using a Team Alliance rom? They are all based off official Samsung firmware. Very stock look to them, but perform much better.

I haven't looked much into the captivate roms in close to a year. I have just a matter of a couple days to get this done. My dad is 78 years old and to a small extent technologically handicapped. He does well enough to browse the web, check emails and send texts, so if there was a bug or an issue (which most custom rom's carry) that popped up while he was away this winter I wouldn't be close to reflash or help him walk through it. I have been reading and I am going to try the first suggestion. Although wouldn't I just be able to remove all bloatware and the tethermanager.apk with root explorer. I need this to be as problem free for him as possible. I did have him install FoxFI to use which seems to be OK but I never trusted any of those type apps. I would much rather him use the native tethering (better encryption from what I see) Which he really only wants it to do emails and a few other miniscule task over the web.

Glad u still got some time to work with this for your dad.
And yep...Root Explorer will do the trick as well.

[Q] Most Recent Methods?

I just acquired a Samsung Infuse so am entirely new to this phone, have rooted it so far via SuperOneClick, but am not having issues determining the best method of acquiring CWM so as to flash some new ROMS.
there are a number of threads i found through searching the forums but all of them seem to be quite old (2011). one of them i tried and it did not work, i got an e-signature failed error of some kind and couldn't find any solid information about how to get around that.
for someone who is brand new to this phone and disgruntled with the performance of 2.3.3, what would be the best method to utilize to get CWM to get a good ROM on this thing?
Thanks in advance

You guys are lifesavers. Is there a ROM any of you would recommend to load straight on the phone easily now that I have rooted GB 2.3.6 with the red CWM??
Looking forward to not having to deal with the brutal battery life and laggy response of 2.3.3! :laugh:

Yeah u can flash all the ROM over 2.3.6 thru CWM, But just keep in mind if u want JB then u have to flash ICS first the JB.
There are many many good GB roms with good battery life i will not name them just flash and see which suits u the most.

well i figured id update here as everyone's been such a big help and i really went through a heck of a process trying to get things back to a working state.
from CM9 i attempted to flash SlimBean and then got stuck in a boot loop. from there, i made the terrible mistake of panicking and trying to flash back to CM9, which seemed like it worked until i got stuck in a boot loop again. i panicked further and tried to flash all the way back to stock GB 2.3.6 which just messed everything up and i bricked it. could not get into download mode, nothing. i realize how stupid all of my mistakes were but thats what learning is about LOL.
finally today i uninstalled all versions of KIES, reinstalled latest version of java, used a different (non-front panel) usb port, with a brand new usb cable (one of my quality ones from a branded charger vs. the cheap one i was using previously). finally got ODIN to recognize my phone and flashed tue UCLB3 Unbrick w/ Root and it worked like a charm.
so i'm going to start again and try to work my way more carefully up to the top haha. thanks again for all the help guys, really appreciate the great infuse community here :good:
