[Samsung Infuse 4G] MarkStinger:
Hi everyone. I know this is my first post here but I have been browsing and reading quite a bit for a couple of weeks now. I searched several times for an answer to my dilemma but I have come up with nothing so far. I hope this has not been asked already but if it has, please direct me to where I can find more information...

About a week ago I decided to root my Infuse and everything went great. I used instructions found here and followed them exactly to the letter and I ran into no problems. I then installed the Serendipity 7 ROM on my device and that also went very well.

Fast forward to today and I wanted to see what Infused 2.1 would be like. I have heard many good things about Infused and I wanted to see if it would improve even further on battery life and a few minor issues.

I following the ROM Manager instructions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220088

At this step - 6) Open SGS Kernel Flasher - I ran into a problem. SGS Kernel Flasher gives me the following error: "Root not acquired - fail!" This happens after the 'Initializing...' prompt. Now of course I am rooted. Not only did the root procedure work last week but I installed another ROM and I have a couple of root only applications installed. Nothing else indicates that I am not rooted. And I do have the Superuser icon and a few apps are now added in there.

Maybe this does not mean I am not rooted!? Maybe I missed some other step. I decided to connect to my PC and run SuperOneClick again. I wanted to see if that application would tell me that I was rooted. The only way I could see to do this was to press the Root button again. When I do that it gets all the way to 'Rooting device... - Step #6' and then stops. I have waited more than 20 minutes and nothing happens. No error messages, nothing. I have enabled USB Debugging and I unmounted my SD card. Thankfully forcing SuperOneClick to close (which I dreaded doing) did not harm my phone. I have rebooted several times and everything still works great with Serendipity.

But now I am stuck. I get the "Root not acquired - fail!" message in SGS Kernel Flasher and because of that I am not able to flash the CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel.zip file that I downloaded in a previous step.

I hope I am missing something simple. As I mentioned, I have read every post I can find with anything even remotely similar to this and nothing has helped thus far. Please let me know if anyone has any information that can get me back on track. I appreciate any and all responses.

Thanks!

Nevermind! :o Just a few more minutes and I would have got it. Apparently SGS Kernel Flasher does not like Perfect AppLock which I had running. So when I opened SGS it never had a chance to ask for Superuser privileges because I was prompted to enter my unlock code. Even after unlocking the app, SGS would not work properly. I closed Perfect AppLock and everything worked as it should. When I opened SGS after that it asked for Superuser privileges and after providing them, the root check succeeded. :)

Hopefully if anyone else runs into this they will find this thread first before spending a few hours on an impossible mission. Thanks for hearing me out at least.
