Dani897 has already made a discussion of this, but I'm moving this information over as an official post in the Infuse 4G section as well.

This is from existz/untermensch's thread. I take no credit. See here for more info http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

Making this modification will allow you to flash un-signed .zip files due to signature verification being turned off. (3e requires root)

* Download and extract the .zip

* Use a terminal emulator or ADB Shell and mount system as read/write.

* For backup purposes, use adb or root explorer to rename the current recovery file in /system/bin to recovery.orig

* Use a file manager (Root Explorer) and copy the new recovery file to /system/bin

* Reboot and your 3e (Froyo stock) recovery will no longer require signature checking.

You can now use this recovery or use the CWM from Captivate (posted in another thread here).

I am not responsible if this bricks your phone. This is easy cheese...just follow these steps.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkH2O:
You actually tested this on an Infuse?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
Yes. it is working on mine right now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
i already tested this days ago and cwm

except using truselos super easy batch script to make it even more easy for people to use.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086622

still there is disbelief. yes people it works! im not sure what trouble people are having flahsing roms but cwm and 3e can flash .zip files just fine. i expected to see some flashable mods and themes by now. i have successfully flashed files for testing purposes and im not too advanced of a user. i planed to post some things like a market fix and such but i have been disrtacted.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
Dani, i completely agree. If you notice, I made mention of your testing at the top of the article.

Now that there is a dedicated thread, its much more likely to be realized that this works FINE. I think once I get a tester for the Odin package I slapped together to get us back to stock in case we brick, and get it successfully setup, i'll put a thread out and we can REALLY get to work on some ROMs.

So far, this phone's software is nearly identical to the Captivate, meaning we will just need to port from the Captivate and we will have a mass of ROMs in no time!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
as soon as we get some kernel dev on this thing i agree. porting will be easy. thanks for the write ups too. are you planning to get a second phone? i would test if i had two of them. my captivate will go to my brother, if it weren't for that id have probably bricked it and begged some people to try making new odin packages for me to fix it.

i understand that after a brick the user hates not having the phone and may be very tempted to return it but it is helpful to everyone to try all you can to recover it. if mine bricks im using the insureance plan and saying it was stolen, then i will have a dedicated test phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
I have an Atrix as well, but would prefer someone who may have already bricked to try this package that i wrote up this morning.

I dont mind someone wanting to swap.their phone...but i literally need about an hour or two of time with the brick's user and its very likely that we will have working Odin....and then you and i...as well as others... can do kernel and rom deving nearly immediately. We have source already, so we only need to test this safety net :). PM me if you find someone who is bricked or is willing to test!!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Realityfalse:
I have a bricked Infuse im not sure what caused the crash. I was running stock rooted by the super one click method and was uninstalling an app when it went all black except the bottom keys. Doesnt do much of anything else now. I attempted an odin fix someone suggested to no avail. I can get into download mode still but nothing else. Id be willing to try anything to unbrick it .
[Samsung Infuse 4G] budco2000:
it's working for me, I unzipped, put the file in my dropbox, downloaded the file on phone from dropbox, used root explorer to mount, (I'm already rooted) copied the file, went to system/bin, renamed the original, then pasted the new file, rebooted, flashed CWM to captivate, and rebooted into recovery, and it works. I still have my HTC Inspire, i'm on a 30 day run here to see if i like the infuse. So far it's the best GPS i've had, and i've had a lot of phones. I hate to think I spent 600 bucks on a another captivate. I had that phone as well, but so far i really like it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] budco2000:
if you can get into download mode I personally would try running the captivate odin and see what happens, buts that's just me lol. I'm a risk taker lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jabreu203:
What commands do you use in ADB to mount system as read/write?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
dont do that. you dont want the captivate param.ifs on here. you may loose download mode if the boot parameters get messed up. especially dont flash anything with bootloaders, that means no one click nad no 3-button fix roms. this may be similar to the galaxy s but there are atleast a few differences in hardware layout that would make that a bad idea. for instance this can run gps and camera during phone calls. the sgs cant so the way things comunicate on the board may be differet, it may also just be differences in the kernel or framework but we cant be sure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
Yes. DO NOT DO that.

BTW, I just had a successful Odin flash with beatblaster! His framework-res was broken, and he flashed all stock partitions successfully. Hope to be posting it up to the masses in about an hour; After he does some initial checks now that he's back to stock to make sure everything is 100%!

Let's get this party started ;)....stay tuned!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yaaay :D

ok now we can get all crazy with few worries. good to hear!

Sweet! So the dump was good then it sounds like. So just to sum it all up, odin the pda tar and it restores and wipes EVERYTHING!

Woops! AND DEODEXED!!?!?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Cohdee:
I'm pretty new to all of this, but here is how I did it. Make sure you have busybox installed!

Extract the "recovery" file to your phone's internal SD card.

On your phone, go into your terminal emulator.

Type in "su" and press enter.

Type in "cd /sdcard" and press enter.

Type in "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system"

Type in "cp -f recovery /system/bin" and press enter.

Reboot your phone.

Maybe this will help someone. Maybe it's not even the right way to do this, and my phone will soon explode. I'm a pretty big noob with this, so someone let me know.

PS: If you brick your phone, it isn't my fault. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] spirikitik:
Hi I came from iPhone 4 and like 2days owning this infuse, I am trying to follow gtg465x to install his ROM, I am done with the rooting and his next step is to "install 3e recovery" now that I am here I am totally lost, I downloaded the file here my Questions are:

1.where do I extract the zip I donwloaded from here? From the SD card root?

2. What thing will I use Terminal emulator or ADB SHELL to make it read/write is that 2 an Android apps I'm lost here. I am trying to be careful, I searched and found too much post and way different doing this. So now I am confuse.

Can anybody tell me how it install 3e recovery the easy and idiot proof way, like I said I am new to android I really have no idea about everything, and most of them too are initial I don't even know what the initials means. Anyone? Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Cohdee:
I came from an iphone as well, about 2 weeks ago. I used the method posted in my previous reply. It worked for me, and has been doing fine so far. One thing you must do is make sure busybox is installed before you try it though. If you dont have busybox installed, none of the commands will work. Then just download "Terminal Emulator" from the market, and use that to give commands.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] spirikitik:
What command? I really have no idea, can you give me step by step if you don't mind?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
Help noob to android

:confused:

I keep reading the instruction but I have no idea what to do. so far, i have rooted my infuse and now I'm trying to do the 3e recovery. I have downloaded the zip file, extracted and from there I don't have any idea what to do.

Please help this idiot noob. Thank you sooooo much.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pixelkore:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] anoob1s:
This is how I did it with ADB...

Open up command prompt

Navigate to your adb folder or if you have path set for adb, type

adb shell

Next make sure your phone is unlocked with the screen on

Type

su

hit enter, click Accept on the super user dialog

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

copy -f recovery /system/bin

You're done reboot and enjoy your modified 3e recovery.

You can now flash the Galaxy S i9000 CWM and enjoy one of our two ROMs :)

Note: I'm not responsible for people that brick their phones using these instructions very basic knowledge of linux command line is needed to do this you honestly shouldn't brick your phone but if you're dumb you can so I'm not liable.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Mr.MacGyver:
Okay, so i completely understand what to do...BUT when pasting the recovery into the system/bin folder using file explorer from the market, (free) i over wrote the old recovery file. The permissions are correct, but im wondering if this will have a negative outcome when i go to flash the Infused ROM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
No negative effects except to get stock 3e recovery (who even USES that anymore?) you will have to Odin to stock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ozzieruiz:
Problem here

In the video he shows that at end you'll end up having 2 recovery files in the bin folder.I followed every move by him but cant seem to achieve this. Original recovery file(renamed to recovery.orig) with date of APR 22 is there but when I paste the new recovery (JUNE date) it tells me that is has been pasted succesfully,but I dont see no 2nd recovery file and I think because of is it's not letting me boot into CWM. Any help will be aprecciated.:confused:

When I boot in 3e (you know,that part where you gotta install package,I get this error message and aborts,goes back to main menu in 3e)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] technokid:
Can you use Odin to flash a rom? Because I am afraid if I rename the original recovery file and put the other recovery file in system/bin it Will brick my phone. Cause I changed the name of something and restarted my phone and it was stuck in boot loader. I renamed the modes recovery file to recovery2 and that didn't work. Please tell me something more detailed or if I could flash it with Odin or if I could do something else. I wanna flash that refuse rom

how do I know if my phone has the modded 3e recovery on it?

I don't have any file managers installed, should I pay the money for one since I will be trying out different ROMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
yes root explorer is a must then rom manager then titanium backup

And go into your files through.file manager you have that already and scroll down to see if you have a recovery.file
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddog4DROID:
I followed this word for word. Yet it says it "can not find" the recovery file. I placed the recovery file that was in the zip (307kb or so I think) on the root of the SD Card. I tried this method with ADB also and it says the same thing.

This is all that has been done with the phone:

- Rooted with Super One Click.

- Nothing else. No other Mod's.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] marcos1012:
this isnt working for me!!! when i went to system it was already mounted and the modified recovery was already there. I tried rebooting in recovery with the captivate recovery and it keeps aborting....what did i miss?

Yes i have a recovery.rc file?? Does that mean I have the modded 3e file? I'm so lost, I hate feeling lost.

"Use a terminal emulator or ADB Shell and mount system as read/write."

How?

I've done all this and it isn't working so I assumed i did this part wrong.

Edit: So for some reason it wouldn't let me delete the recovery and put the new one in. I tried EVERYTHING. Finally it let me delete it but it wouldn't paste/move/copy the new one over. I tried restarting and now the phone is stuck on the samsung start up screen and won't do anything. Pretty sure I bricked the phone. AWESOME. I've rooted several phones and this has been by far the biggest headache of a phone I've ever worked with.

Actually, that article wasn't interesting at all. All it said is that the Galaxy Tab "wins" because it is cheaper than the flyer.

No mention of usability or a comparison in performance.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Exactly.

So if I had the money, Id get the Flyer. I knew that already.

And this has been discussed before.

[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
i have enough money to buy one. i just don't feel like buying it cause i feel it won't be much of a different from our galaxy tab.

if im going to buy another tab, it would be the eepad transformer or the 8.9/10.1 galaxy tabs. the flyer is just so trying hard.
[Galaxy Tab General] alexgogan:
Agree, I love my tab >:¬} just hate the flavour of the OS (on GT-P1010). Flyer is too much for not much else in my opinion and don't see compelling enough reason to part with the extra money needed to own it....

Overcome modded Tab works like a charm, and it's not even kernel modded. havnt tried Honeycomb on a 7" but Ginger layout works well on 7"

I agree, 7" for a reasonable price makes sense, but as soon as you get close to the 499 barrier... i would buy a bigger one (the Tab is very fast for everything it is meant for)

[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
Flyer has that Sense BS on it, has a useless stylus and feels cheap whereas the Tab is a quality build, does not have a useless stylus and does NOT have sense.

Tab wins.
[Galaxy Tab General] A. Nonymous:
Sense > Touchwiz. Just saying. Touchwiz sucks monkey balls whereas if Sense was on the Market as an alternative launcher/skin, I'd bet it would get quite a few downloads. Sense is a very slick interface.

I've never played with a Flyer so I can't speak to the build quality. You don't have to have a stylus to use the Flyer so I have no clue what your point is there. I'll echo what other people have said though in that once you spend $500, you start looking at things like the Transformer or the Xoom and the Flyer doesn't make sense compared to those devices. Drop the price under $400 and it probably crushes the Tab.
