Depends, but the first should be easier, since you have already performed it yourself. The procedure remains exactly the same, just that you do not flash the CM7 ROM File, but simply flash the Superuser Binary file to gain root.

- Run Revolutionary

- Gain S-OFF

- When it asks to install a Custom Recovery, Select Y, and if it installs, well and good.

- If it doesn't, follow this guide to install Clockworkmod - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130044

- Once Clockworkmod is installed, download Superuser Binary here: http://bit.ly/su2361ef and place it on your SDCard

- Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery and flash it. (Install Zip from SDCard > Select the zip file you just placed)
[Wildfire General] Alyzembawy:
Well that's funny, this time revolutionary tool just worked, and it reported "SUCCESS" about flashing CWM... So now am I fully rooted, or I still have to flash the binary super user app ?! :D
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
You'll still have to flash Superuser to gain root access. The correct terminology is that it is a ROM which is rooted. A phone is never rooted. ;)

Also, since you are keeping S-OFF, don't forget the Sense Fix here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1156713
[Wildfire General] Alyzembawy:
Ok, so now I will flash superuser to gain root acces, then flash the Sense Fix... Do I have to hard reset after all this ?!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Not necessary, (Flashing both, Superuser and the sense fix doesn't touch your data) but, remember to take a Nandroid Backup though, in Clockworkmod, just in case.
[Wildfire General] Alyzembawy:
Uhm, When I go to CWM and select Installl ZIP from SD Card, it goes to a black screen with the logo "REVOLUTIONARY" on... and the nothing...

Edit. Ah sorry, I was using the power button to select :)

Nvm ;)

[Defy General] miscz:
Yes, you can downgrade. One thing you have to remember - NEVER EVER flash leaked 2.3 Motorola ROMs straight to your phone. You have to use fixed releases with Nandroid backup that you restore via Clockwork and special SBF to flash immediately afterward.

Cyanogenmod and MIUI (most popular 2.3 ROMs) are pretty much safe.

[Defy General] TJKV:
Assuming you are coming from 2.3 (Eg CM7), the gist:

While starting up the phone press and hold volume up to go into bootloader mode.

Connect to computer via USB and start RSD Lite (version 4.9) and flash your 2.2 SBF (Look at sticky on dev forum) from which you had originally created the nandroid backup.

Load it up, root, restore nandroid to get back applications and data.

Search dev forum for complete guide.

2.2.4??

Okay I haven't heard about such a version of android ever...it has been either 2.2.1 or 2.2.2

Sorry I guess I can't help you, I don't know anything about carrier specific ROMs and such...
[Defy General] djc151084:
Maybe your right and i have got mixed up with numbers at moment i am running 2.3.4 but maybe i was running 2.2.2 before, it was definat 2.2 so if .4 is not heard of then i will go with .2 but looking in that thread there is no orange UK version do you know how i get this or is there a diffrent one/version i could use, and is the version information able to be pulld from my nandroid backup.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126907 <-- this version sais it is UK and doesnt mention Carrier specific so guess this is the one to use for me, So to confirm do i follow the same set of instructions as before from here " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1135901 " but change "shadow4.5.1-134nandroid" for my own nandroid backup and "shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf" for "FixedSBF_3.4.2-177UK.sbf" from this thread " http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126907 " or is the Non-Fixed Full sbf better to use.?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] krantiredeyes:
Can anyone tell the important and practical advantages of rooting and installing Infused ROM? I Am just looking for a useful reason to waste my time ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hellion_zk:
Read the change logs in the very first post, if nothing there appeals to you than don't bother, if nothing makes SENSE to you, read more like I did before diving in lol.

Short answer is, because its fun, addicting, customizing, unlocks features, removes bloatware.....makes it YOUR PHONE, not AT&T's (assuming you don't have Rogers.) Things like Wi-Fi tethering and GPS lock on times are fixed or improved. Stuff like that, plus the whole process can be somewhat addicting. Lol

Infused
[Samsung Infuse 4G] krantiredeyes:
Hehe..... So, no usefulness in rooting I guess.... Can you post the link by the way...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hellion_zk:
Not sure how, on my phone. Lol, but if you go to the infuse developers section, you CANT miss it. Big huge title says something along the lines of, [Infused, V2.#.# (gingerbread) blah blah blah] haha.

But ATM the download portion is down because the Canadian release doesn't use 4g, so he's fixing a little quirk with it right now, than it'll be back up I'm sure, gtg is pretty quick.

Also, rooting is different than flashing a Tom, rooting gives you complete control over your phone, gets rid of market branding (I think), and allows 3rd party apps (be carefully)

Flashing a ROM is replacing the current operating system with the SAME one but streamlined and bareboned, or a better one that's streamlined and bareboned. (Or at least that's how I think of it.) Usually involving better apps, updates, and unlocked features.

So yes there is a benifit I guess lol.

Infused
[Samsung Infuse 4G] krantiredeyes:
So, what is infused ROM? I suppose it is custom ROM... Right?... So, what the hell is CWM then?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theraffman:
All of this info is readily available, when I first got my android I was a little confused to, hell, I still am =P

But here is the skinny,

Root simply means you are granting the phone or yourself super user access. What does that mean you ask... well, it pretty much gives you ultimate admin rights. From here, you can theme, mod, install roms, alter/move/delete system files etc.

Roms are the creations of enhanced versions of the stock os all ready available, and sometimes not available ie gtg's gingerbread rom. The benefits to these"aftermarket" roms vary from rom to rom. You will need to research each one specifically to see what fits your desires.

Although your question seems simple, it its infact a big question that is far to vague, simply put, custom roms made by experienced developers will 99.9% always be superior to stock, but for different reasons. So please research and you will see that there are varying types of directions... Unless you want gb on infuse, kinds only one direction for that at the moment.

Infused with gingerbread **** thanks GTG465X
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hellion_zk:
Thanks, you articulated my thoughts better lol.

CWM is ClockWorkMod, used commonly for its rom manager feature, it helps make flashing the rom's easier, and can install a clockwork recovery mode that replaces the stock 3e recovery the phone comes with, and is far more useful. :-)

Infused
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
You need root. Normally I'd suggest going with a ROM, but right now the only ROM actively being developed is Infused. However, this is the first ROM where I have gotten very bad response from those who develop the ROM, as well as backlash for the community when I bring up bugs on the releases. Any other phone has developer communities that are helpful and very nice, and receptive to constructive criticism, but it's like Apple sent their goons over for Infused, and both the developers and the fanboys of the developers act like it's some gift from god. Everything released from the Infused team has had some fairly significant bugs, right now the bug is poor data speeds (kinda silly since we bought the phone for it's "4G" being the primary function), but as always, enter at your own risk.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theraffman:
Seriously bella? the only issues I have seen with this community has been antagonized by you. Hell, out of curiosity I check done of your post history... Surprise surprise, most of the post are you complaining. This thread case in point, seriously had to drag your bull **** to another thread, grow the hell up.

just get your sg2 already and take your negativity to another forum. All you ever do is ***** like a whiny baby. Good luck and good riddance, we won't miss you.

Infused with gingerbread **** thanks GTG465X
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theraffman:
Krant, don't let Bella's bs confuse you, this phone has to notch devs, with fantastic roms and kernels. Apparently if the devs can't part the seas and build a rom that get 100 hours of staight heavy use batt life then they don't deserve to give us free development

Infused with gingerbread **** thanks GTG465X
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Krant, welcome to the forums.

I disagree with Bella - we have an excellent community here, the only problem is that we have an unusual number of people who post in the ROM threads in development when it is clear they have not even read the first post of the thread. We also have people who complain about a ROM without any evidence to back up their complaint, and get hostile when a dev asks them to run a specific test.

On the positive side, the level of coordination we have between developers is FAR better than most other devices. That's why right now you don't really see any junky "hey look I can deodex too!" ROMs.

So far you're off to a good start, you didn't post in the dev forum and you're making an effort to learn. I suggest you take some time to do some research and Googling.

Another thing adding to the confusion here is that with Android, there are two portions of the system that can be separately customized. The kernel is the base operating system, with hardware drivers and such. The ROM is actually what us kernel hackers call "userland" - the stuff layered on top of a kernel to produce a nice usable system.

Most ROMs include a custom kernel, but in many cases you can flash other kernels over it.

Never flash a ROM/kernel intended for another device. (An exception to this rule may eventually come for userland ROMs, but for now that's the rule.)

CWM is a low-level "recovery" tool that allows new files to be flashed to your device that often can't be flashed to a running system. It's most often used for flashing new ROMs, but can sometimes be used for flashing tweaks to a ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hellion_zk:
And things like that will only scare people away from these forums, i sincerely feel like there are an alarming number of negative, rude people on XDA, and those who AREN'T, are usually Dev's or working with them, Hence my post from like, a month ago in an ENTIRELY different subject lol. And also why i try so hard to be informative, even with what little knowledge i have. :) please dont go because of a few bad apples, ive seen it ruin peoples experience with there phones.

And it got Thanked,... twice... and it wasnt even by the people getting chewed out, (Although for a valid reason. DONT post nonsense in a Dev thread....oh my GOD they take that seriously here lol)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DevilDogAK:
the raffman explained root acces well indeed. I heard another explain it as gaining root access to your phone is the same as logging in to your computer with admin rights; you can make all sorts of changes. However, not having root access to your phone is like logging in to your computer as guest; you can change very little.

I rooted my phone a few days out of the box. Don't get me wrong; I was impressed with its performance. Since then I've flashed roms, kernels, bricked my phone, brought it back to life with odin3 many times. It is exciting and wicked fun to push this phone to its limits. Props to all the devs that enable my habit. Root and flash and I am sure you will never look back.

ok first off if you don't have thor's kernel it won't work. If you don't know where to get thor's kernel google it, XDA won't allow links.

Now comes the part where i need some help. I am by no means a computer guru or software guy so if i sound like a noob you know why. Everything i know i learned from XDA and the helpful devs here.

I can get the cd/dvd rom to mount with a store bought dvd movie by doing the following in terminal emulator

su

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/block/sr0 /mnt/cdrom

doing this mounts the drive and lets me see the .ifo .bup and .vob files on the dvd, but i can't play the dvd with any apps. I am guessing it is because of the file types. Not an issue with me as i am just trying to learn how to mount it all

When i try to mount the drive, by using the same method, with either a music CD store bought or burned or a dvd-r with a .avi file on it it returns an invalid argument in terminal emulator. I think it is because of the file system type but i am not sure i have also tried the following with no luck

"mount -r -t udf /dev/block/sr0 /mnt/cdrom" this returns a invalid argument

"mount -r -t cdfs /dev/block/sr0 /mnt/cdrom" returns a no such device

any idea why it won't mount or other file types to try? when i plug the drive into my computer with the cd in it and click on the drives properties it says the file system is cdfs.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I wouldn't bother. AFAIK, there are no Android video players that can handle VOB files so even if you manage to mount the device, you won't be able to play anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] spike1969:
And until people can mount CD/DVD drives, the devs won't develop DVD players. Also, it's not just DVDs; as mentioned in the original post it's audio CDs, AVI files etc stored on DVDs/CDs.

Worth persevering with and well done for getting as far as you have. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will point you in the right direction.
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
piss poor opinion to me. That's like saying why bother getting past the boot loaders. There aren't any custom roms for the iconia. Once they got itsmagic working have fast did you start to see the roms coming. You don't need apps at this point, just trying to figure out how to get everything to mount. Similar to how we now have Drive mount for android. There are already practical uses for this. Ohh your buddy has a cd you like and want, easy hook up your cd drive and copy it to your sd card and there you go.

No offense intended but if you can't help why bother posting?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
hi,

please take a look at:

Daroon Player

and

VPlayer

I use both of them to play VOBs, but not from DVD drive. I have an external hard drive attached to my A501, this hard drive contains DVD folders (VIDEO_TS) of my bought discs. Daroon Player is able to play even the menus, a new version will come out soon, I am in contact with the developer. VPlayer is not free, but Daroon is free.

I like both apps!

Best regards,

Werner
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
Thank you for this. As it is now i can mount the dvd rom and see the VIDEO_TS files. Let me see if i can mount the drive and watch the movies straight from, in which case it is win. Do you know if you can set custom directories within Daroon?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Yes, you can point Daroon to several folders.

Data transmission arrows only appear when data is being transferred (transparent idle data arrows)
For signal bars (and wifi), one bar is shown for "0" signal (identical to what is shown for one bar - Didn't change any of the other ones, so it won't seem inflated)
