[Samsung Infuse 4G] Trancerush:
Agree, really easy with superoneclick.

It went thru first time, unlike my dell streak 5 which i spent lots of time before i was able to root it.

Superoneclick roots infuse on first try, if you have properly installed adb drivers of course

Anyone know if this voids your warranty?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reefrunway:
I think it pretty much does. You'd want to unroot your phone if needed to take it back to the retailer for whatever reason.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Latentk:
And its probably safe to assume to "unroot" has been found. The phone is brand new so that would explain a great deal of it! Keep up the great work!

Samsung Infuse 4G Drivers

For those of you who have had trouble with getting the drivers for the Infuse, download this:

[Im new so cant post link, but goto softpedia.com and search kies. The only kies program available will appear, and download and install that]

It wont recognize your phone, but after you install the program, the appropriate drivers will be present, and the root will work.

Hey Guys.. I tried the Root & Unlock and the SuperOneClick. Neither one are working for me. I have Kies installed, original samsung data cable, USB Debug check. But it just keeps failing. I even tried it on Windows 732bit, 64bit and Windows XP. Same results.

On the SuperOneClick, after a while, the program becomes completely unresponsive. I even reset my phone back to factory. Still no results. I have included a screen shot where the program freezes. Can anyone hel me?

Thanks

i need help rooting my stock samsung infuse running 2.3.6

i have a stock samsung infuse 4g running gb 2.3.6. i would like to root it to ics or jellybean (whatever one is more stable). but since its running GB i cant use the one click method. I have also tried using other methods but they require my phone to be hooked up to my accer laptop which wont recognize my infuse. Is there a way to root it using a Micro SD card? please message or post instructions if so. THANK YOU:cyclops:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
I don't believe that there's any way to root the infuse without connecting it to a computer. As far as I know, your only options are either Heimdall or Odin.

Super one click

Super one click is the best and easiest method of rooting make sure your on update to uchk1 before rooting otherwise if you dont update you wont be able to update later.

Infuse w/ stock AT&T 2.3.6 needs root without data loss

Hello all,

Like many people, I only dive into this realm once a year or so. I would like to stick with the stock 2.3.6, and just gain root. I would really rather not lose my current environment in the process, if at all possible. I originally bought the Infuse with 2.2 and just recently used mini kies and Samsung's official firmware to upgrade (losing root, of course).

Back before SOC stopped getting updated regularly, I was able to use it with 2.2. After updating 2.3.6, a quick google search told me it was no longer a viable option. Scanning XDA tells me that my two real options are Heimdall or Odin. By all accounts, Heimdall looks pretty straight forward, but the particulars start to look a little fuzzy to me when I really try to dig into it.

So, a couple confirmation questions:

1. Will Heimdall essentially bring me back to a factory reset condition but with root, or will my current environment be preserved?

2. Do I need to do anything fancy, like searching for and obtaining some specific build archive to use in conjunction with Heimdall, or do I just need to download Heimdall itself and make sure my Java version is current?

3. Will Heimdall install a custom build, or will it still be Samsung/AT&T stock, just rooted?

I'm in no rush and don't feel even remotely entitled to free tech support, I'm just thankful this forum and everyone who participates exists at all.

I do not want to risk even soft bricking my phone or losing my current environment (I'm mostly just lazy and don't want to have to set it all back up again, and don't trust the free version of Titanium to get it all).

Thank you for your responses. I freely admit my ignorance here, and am very grateful for any and all help.

First off, I very much appreciate your response. Thank you. :)

Reviewed it. What isn't clear here is, even though it doesn't wipe apps or pictures, does it reset or preserve OS-level preferences and settings (wifi networks, mobile hotspot creds, keyboard type selection, wallpaper choices, ringers, alarms, and so on)?

I suppose I have the same question, as stated above, about this (Odin) method. Looks like a great option as well. Thank you. :)

Whoa. Lots of info here. Clearly it evolved a lot over time, as it's now somewhat dizzying and cumbersome for someone not routinely living there (ie. a re-noob like me). But, more info is far better than less, and it's still a great reference. I particularly enjoyed the noob video.

Thank you again for taking the time to respond, and for all the time you spend helping people like me.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] reefrunway:
Just a quick question, in which I may appear to be jumping the gun...

If and when a Gingerbread (or later) OTA update is so kindly granted us folk... :D ... will the "unroot" option/function/button in the SuperOneClick program (that is now on my PC) work for the purpose of unrooting to get the OTA update? Or does that function of SuperOneClick do something else? If it works, then it's just as easy as rooting, right? Press the button and the magic gets done in one step.

Thanks! Just want to be prepared... :p

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
Seems to work fine

Thanks for the tip on KIES, it worked great.

Question: I still don't seem to be able to uninstall all the AT&T crapware. Is there something else I need to do to accomplish that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reefrunway:
Once you are rooted - sounds like you are - I would recommend use of the Bloat Freezer app.... 99 cents, good deal. It enables you to freeze, instead of delete, all your unwanted apps (which makes them disappear from your apps folder and unclutter your device). Then, when it's time to update to Gingerbread :confused: you simply unfreeze the apps and you can install the OTA update. If you DELETE the bloatware, you won't be to receive updates from the carrier OTA. I can vouch that Bloat Freezer does what is says.

That's my two cents, hope it works! :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
So...anyone try the update.zip method that OCLF did for the Captivate? It would reboot into recovery and run the update.zip and i believe did the rageagainstthecage method.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
Excellent advice. Thanks very much!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
if someone wants to edit it from the captivate. i dont know anything about signed .zip files, and nobody even cared enough to fix it to work on the rogers versin so i dont know what our chances are. also that only ran in 2.1. you would need to fix 3e recovery fist and that can't be done in an update.zip it's imposible. better would be to make a new set of scripts that adds the 3e fix into the root one's that we already have.. if i have time who knows. i never did a batch script but i think i can pull trusselos 3e fix apart and figure it out
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
Ill work on it when i get home...i was just curious if anyone had tried yet. The .zip file is signed with test keys, so after modifying it with the 3e fix....it should be golden.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dirtydave76:
I too can confirm that SuperOneClick works for the Infuse. I am now rooted and the great thing was being able to copy my Titanium Backup folder and SMS Backup folder to my computer from my Captivate and then copy from the computer onto my Infuse and restore everything and not have to redownload apps and start games over. Thank you for the info for sure. Now if we can just get a bacjup so I can try porting a Captivate ROM over. That should be fun.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
A quick noob question...I am coming from Inspire which had one click everything and I installed CWM that gave me all the options I needed to change OS everyday.

I got Infuse and used SuperOneClickv1.9.1-ShortFuse.Drivers to root my device. I installed ROM Manager on it. The easiest way to tell if device is rooter or not is by installing ROM Manager, right?

I know CWM can't be installed till it's updated and we have Infuse as an option there but what's the easiest way to tell that it's rooted properly?

TIA.

:flameSuitOn:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xgoochx:
Sorry if this is a n00b question, but say someone wanted to un-root the Infuse. Will the button on super one click that says unroot work? Just curious. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pixelkore:
Download "Root Checker" from Market. Run it and it will tell you if you are Rooted or not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reefrunway:
Good question. I asked it earlier in the thread and didn't get a reply. I'm hopeful that that's what that button does, but I am not sure. Don't have a reason to un-root now, but somehow it'd be comforting to know that it's possible. :o
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
If you follow the steps in my post about modified 3e recovery, you can choose "Captivate" from ROM manager and it appears to work 100%. All it does is creates a folder on your SD card with the CWM recovery file and then puts an update.zip in your root of your sdcard. when you "reboot to CWM", it sends you to 3e recovery first, you choose "Reinstall Packages" and it mounts the CWM recovery file and boots into CWM.

Hope this helps from the recovery perspective.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
I installed the 3e recovery last night and was tempted to select "Captivate" from ROM Manager but I read another post that talks about how he backed up fine, restored fine but graphics were a little messed up.

If we have that Odin one click stock ROM ready to roll, I am willing to do some testing on my phone.

Now, once I install CWM using Captivate as model number, can I try and install CM7 or any other flavor of Android?

If I can't install any other OS, why would I install CWM? Just wondering?

Is that to install packages like different looks/themes/keyboards?

Sorry, I am a noob and trying to learn all this stuff :)

I had a thought. What if you moved these apps to the SD card for safe keeping using Root File Explorer? When and if an update comes you just move them back to system/app.

I'm so ready to root now. I can't believe AT&T won't even let me delete the bookmarks they placed in the browser. It's my device. I say which bookmarks I have. The only thing holding me back is the possiblity of Gingerbread OTA update.
