[Q] Kitkat compatible CWM for Infuse? - Samsung Infuse 4G

Hi everyone, I have been searching this forum to find a CWM that is compatible with KitKat and the infuse 4g. I tried the ROM manager app, but this device is not compatible. Plus I'm trying to meet the post requirement before I can ask this question in dev forum...not a great rule. cuz that way i have to post 10 posts that i don't want to post before I post the one I want.

you just have to flash the roms from the base rooted GB with CWM/RED recovery then update GB ---> ICS----->JB----->KK and the CWM version updates itself and each KK rom has its own CWM version

Thanks.
Thank you.

Do you need to flash in that order.. GB > ICS > JB > KK ? because I just flashed GB with CWM then to whatever next rom happen to be without issue. Each version got it's own kernel/cwm so why need to go thru all that. Just curious.

its recommended....i have tried to jump from gb to kk before but then it wouldn't boot the rom so i put into download mode and went back to stock gb the went to ics then jb then every kk rom out there

Hmm.. weird because I have no issue jumping from GB to the current KK or any other rom.. you just need to turn lagfix off b4 u install other rom.

So I'm guessing your going with CarbonRom's 6/15 nightly?

yep.. let see what 4.4.3 has to offer. Got a couple of days to play around.

For some devices flashing straight from stock just works. If you have red CWM it is a bad candidate and should use ICS as an intermediary. But you can be on GB and not have red CWM (rather blue or green I forget which), as was the case when I first flashed up. This may be your case as well.
Its not the version of the OS that matters, rather the spread of CWM versions. At least that is my understanding of the situation.

I think it's a matter of steps you take from GB to the next rom. For me:
1. GB stock with root.
2. Install sgs kernel flash and flash kernel with CWM (Synthesis).
3. Go into CWM and disable lagfix if it's enabled.
4. Update your flavor rom in recovery mode. NOTE: You will need to flash twice since 1st time give you a warning about partitions.
5. Once flashed it will auto reboot.... HERE you need to remove the battery to power off.. put battery back in and go into recovery mode and flash the rom again since the previous flash only install the new recovery.
6. Install Gapp.
7. CWM: wipe Cache Partition
8. CWM: Advanced > wipe Dalvik Cache
9. Reboot.

Because I have the Rogers variety, my step 2 uses a different product (the name escapes me but I use ODIN to flash it) and I was able to skip over step 3 (not sure if it was even an option). Overall I had red CWM, but the first time CWM was green (or blue). I think the difference in versions had to do that I installed ROM Manager the first time around and tried to install the i9000 (or something) CWM image. It wasn't successful, but it looks like it made some impact.
Out of curiousity, what colour was your CWM in Gingerbread? Synthesis may be using a newer (more forgiving) version.

red cwm 2.5.1.3 after the kernel flashed.

Anyone know how to downgrade CWM recovery?

So I upgraded to clockworkmod recovery version 3.0.0.5 to try out the beta version of Cyanogenmod 7.
Anyway, it's waaay too buggy for me at the moment (random battery drainage and restarts) and I'd like to go to a different custom rom.
The problem I'm having is that clockworkmod versions > 3 apparently will only install ROMs that were compiled with Edify scripting... which appears to be just about none of the ROMs I'm interested in at the moment.
So I've tried downgrading through the ROM manager and through running flash_image on the phone's terminal several times - always landing me back in the orange coloured CWM v3.0.0.5.
So my question is; how would I get back to the older green coloured version of the recovery?
I've searched a couple of hours on the internet now, but have found almost nothing relating to the Samsung Galaxy Captivate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Just flash back to stock. Reroot if u need to then use rom manager to flash it

Coming from CM7 you will have to return to stock before you can flash any other roms anyway. Its in the CM7 FAQ.

Ok I see that you have only 2 posts so I am going to spell this out nicely.
1: Flash back to stock always when changing roms
2: Root the phone then load rom manager and install clockwork mod
3: That puts an update.zip on your internal sd card. Copy that to your computer in a safe directory. I put mine where I store my roms
4: Reboot your phone to recovery and install upadate.zip. Reboot to recovery and if CWM doesn't load install update.zip again and it will reboot to CWM the second time.
5: Then when you want to flash a rom flash back to stock then copy that update.zip to the phone copy the rom to the phone then reboot to recovery. If it doesn't reboot to CWM then install update.zip and it will reboot to CWM. Then you can install your rom.
MAKE SURE YOU FLASH BACK TO STOCK BEFORE ATTEMPTING A NEW ROM INSTALL.

I would suggest waiting until tonight when GummyCharged 2.0 drops, it's gonna be the ultimate tweakable rom it'll be rooted, give you CWM and a custom voodoo kernel, plus a sweet better-than-stock rom

Not at first because it's going to be released a CWM recovery flashable zip. If you go to the Charge developer forum and Odin over the latest CWM recovery by Imnuts, you will be able to install it easily when it is released.

Close. You don't need to install the previous version (1.9.1) but you can if you want to. You just have to Odin over the latest CWM recovery (this will root your phone). When the 2.0 zip is released then you just place it on your SD card, enter recovery by holding volume up + home + power until the SAMSUNG logo flashes twice and then choose to install zip from SD card. Make sure to do a factory reset, and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache (under advanced) before flashing the zip in recovery. You may not understand all of that now, but when you're in recovery mode it will make sense.

You don't need to touch Altered Beast unless you want it. I'm fairly certain that using Odin to flash CWM will provide root (I haven't done it in a long while). If it does not, after flashing CWM, just install this zip from your SD card in recovery and that will provide root.

No problem chief. Feel free to post back with any question.
If you are on the stock kernel you will need to boot directly to recovery and flash the SU .zip after odin CMW, or else the recovery will be overwritten by the stock kernel.
Your best bet is to wait till GC FE 2.0 is released, then odin CWM, and boot direct to recovery and flash the 2.0 .zip. then you are done in a couple steps.
That'll work too.
so now the waiting game begins lol

As long as you don't flash via Odin you will not increment the counter. Flashing via clockworkmod recovery is safe.
The first post of the thread where u downloaded from has instructions on how to flash. Please read it again.

I assume your phone is rooted and CWM installed.
1. Reboot in CWM ( turn off your phone , then press both volume keys and press power wait for samsung logo and relese all buttons)
2. go to backup and restore and buckaup your phone just in case go back
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. go to mount and storage and format system go back to main menu
6. install zip from sdcard
7. choose zip from sdcard
8. flash rom
10 . go back to to main menu and go to advance wipe there Dalvik Cache
11. back to main menu and reboot system now.
Wait for full reboot setup whatever you need to setup. If after rom and modem flash you will have no mobile data reflash rom again.
Good luck

You can flash/run various modems, kernels, and rom combinations depending on your particular wants and needs. If you want to stay close to stock, and take advantage of the symbiotic relationship between the UCLA3 rom, kernel, radio, then yes flash both UCLA3 files in cdshepherd's OP. (his ROM has the kernel included). I would suggest flashing modem (radio) first... reboot.. then boot back into CWM to flash rom. For me (and others) when the modem is flashed after rom, the data connection is lost. Follow the install instructions in the OP of the rom. Also, take a look at silver03wrx's Silver_Rom... it's stock UCLA3 but he'll be theming/deodexing it going forward. By the way, I found my HPSA+ speeds significantly increase using the combination of the UCLA3 kernel and modem. Good luck... hope this helped.
Thanks a lot DoctorQMM. That helps a lot . I think I want to stay as close to stock as possible right now while waiting for ICS. I just took the plunge and rooted my phone for the first time so I'm learning as much as I can via google/xda but sometimes I need reassurance just to make sure I don't brick the phone while doing something stupid.

Hanging on the Samsung screen is normal when coming to AOKP from Gingerbread, you need to double flash here's how:
Flash the ROM like normal in CWM, when it reboots and you hang at the Samsung screen use the 3 finger method to get into Recovery (hold power & both Volume buttons). Once there go the Mounts and Storage option and format system, data, and cache...then reflash the ROM again (you may also have to flash the latest gapps if your not using an Aroma installer) reboot and you should be gtg.
it doesn't hang for me

Use Odin or Heimdall to get cwm recovery then follow the steps in the above posts. I think u might even b able to get cwm recovery via the ROM manager app but think that it isn't the recommended method.
When coming from GB, u have to flash twice. That's why u were stuck at the Samsung logo before.
All ics ROMs are flashed the same way so read through the first posts of dev threads. Although the instructions will b the same as provided above.
Edit: And don't try to use a different kernel right off the bat. The one provided with the ROM is usually provided bc it works best.

If u look in the "ISET Infuse everything" thread that's stickied in the dev section, there is Odin or Heimdall one click which both will give u cwm recovery.
I'm not familiar with entrophy's daily driver but I thought it was just a GB kernel, which is why it wouldn't work with that miui version bc it is ics.
Edit: I know most (and I believe all) ROMs will have a kernel packaged with them so u can just flash the ROM to get a working kernel. But bc it coming from GB, u need to follow the instructions provided above and flash twice. The reason I am saying use Odin is bc u said u have 3e recovery and I believe that u need to get cwm recovery first. I may b wrong about that tho.

Read post #4 and #6. That tells you how to flash a cm9 rom. I suggest, based only on my experience, flashing Entropy512's cm 9 build. Again, follow the instructions in post 4 and / or 6. I would not flash the current version of miui 4 as a new build will soon be posted. The instructions for flashing miui are in the OP.

[Q] Order of Operations for New Firmware, Modem, and ROM

Hello everyone. I have been away from the Android scene for awhile, and I am looking to make some changes to my VZW SGIII. I want to make sure that my current plan for upgrading makes sense and I was hoping someone here could help. Here are my current settings:
ROOTED, BOOTLOADER Unlocked, CWM installed
Android 4.2.2
Kernal: 3.4.53 Cyanogenmod
Baseband: I535VRLHE
Liquid Smooth v2.9
I would like to update my Modem, since my current option has absolutely terrible reception. According to what I have read, it seems that the best Modem option is MF1 firmware than do a ML1 Baseband update.
[Q1] Does this have to be performed with ODIN, or can I do this through CWM?
The other thing I would like to do is to update to KitKat. I have found a ROM I think I will like, C-RoM v6.5. The instructions from their thread:
"WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + Format System)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard
Select Rom Zip And Flash, then select GAPPS of choice (doesnt have to be from below, im using PA GAPPS myself...) And Flash
Reboot And Enjoy..."
[Q2] What is the best order of operations in order to ultimately end up with MF1 w/ ML1 modem and C-RoM 6.5?
Should I do all the modem updates first and then flash ROM? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have been away from the Android scene for awhile, and I am looking to make some changes to my VZW SGIII. I want to make sure that my current plan for upgrading makes sense and I was hoping someone here could help. Here are my current settings:
ROOTED, BOOTLOADER Unlocked, CWM installed
Android 4.2.2
Kernal: 3.4.53 Cyanogenmod
Baseband: I535VRLHE
Liquid Smooth v2.9

In addition, I would also like to update my Kernal. Any suggestions as to where in this process I should update the Kernal (I would think at the end)? Also trying to decide between leankernal and KT747, anyone care to offer their experiences as far as stability, etc.?
You seem to have the right idea. All this can be install in recovery. Odin is not needed
You must update your recovery to the latest version. This is NOT Optional!
1. Wipe System & Data
1b. Flash MF1 firmware
1c. Flash ML1 modem
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash kernel (if you using something like KT747)
4. FLASH Gaaps
5. any addons
6. Reboot (if unstable reboot a 2nd time)

It's up to you. You only use one recovery. If you like TWRP then just go grab the latest version and stick to it.

EDIT: Found a zip file of CWM. Sorry! Thanks again!
Quick note, some people have been having problems with the ML/MF combo in that more then one text message can't be sent at a time. If you get one, you can send one, but only one. Some people have gone back back to MB1 modem/firmware for SMS support.
Just a heads up..
