I know they worked hard on them. The brain power required to create something like a kernal is WAYYY over my head so I appreciate their hard work. However, breaking a function to get the phone rooted lacks a bit of QA/QC. If all goes well, then kudos. I'll eat crow covered in poop. Unfortunately I already know where this is going. I'll CWM the rooted version and probably lose my external sd, my video, or get stuck in the Samsung loop. Happens every time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] S1XXV:
To solve your problem and get back your external SD, wifi, video and what ever else your complaining about why don't you do what a lot of others do and say they do a hundred times (I for one do this) .. flash the stock leak and flash the rooted kernel then flash back to the stock kernel or flash the rooted leak and then flash the stock kernel. The reason the rooted kernels don't work perfect is because they came from the Rogers version and are slightly different. Flash the stock uckk4 kernel and everything should work.

You can do all of what kkernaghan7 says, or you can shut the hell up and say thanks. Then again, you always have the right to go back to 'STOCK FROYO"!!!!

Waiting for you to produce your own kernel so we can all try your masterpiece....... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
If you need root, flash a custom kernel, root with it, then flash the included kernel.

Sorry - you're not going to see working video with custom kernels any time soon, not until AT&T officially releases Gingerbread and includes source code.

And thanks for calling my kernel "buggy" even though it's Samsung that broke compatibility with a change in the ROM - the kernel works fine with the ROMs it was designed for, it is not my fault if someone improperly packaged it with a ROM it wasn't designed for. Attitudes like that are why I feel less and less guilty about giving my Infuse to family.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] b3asty:
I wish I was a mod here man. I would be cleaning trash daily. Thanks for all of your hard work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Dont let it bother you. Your kernel is what I use on all the leaked and custom roms. Its the only good kernel for the infuse with the features we all need. Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joho5:
Can this be flashed through cwm? If not and it's flashed with Odin by putting it in the PDA slot...will it then include the kernel that's stock with it or keep my current kernel? If I flash this rom I would want all features is why I'm making sure the kernel would be flashed with it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Yea your kernel is what powers CatyRom...I love it...thanks for all the hard work....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
I appreciate your work man. Anybody here with half a brain appreciates it, because we all know you work your ass off to provide us with quality items. I'd hate to see you disappear man, but I understand how you feel completely.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Flash thru Odin, you'll have all features, but no root.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] perseofeliz:
Come on, you don't have to spend your Time explaining nothing to Mickey, We all know what you do and appreciate your efforts.

Hey, I dont want to bother but... I'm waiting!!! Just give us the stock kk4 kernel flashable through Odin! Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Make your own. Get izarc off the net and extract the zimage from the leak and convert it to a .tar for Odin.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Geez. Amazing how one word can get everyones panties in a bunch. "Buggy" was harsh on my part so I apologize for that. Maybe "incompatible" is a better choice of words.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Greatminds:
One of the ways to Root this ROM

Thank you for bringing this ROM for us. Just flashed it to test it.

I am sure there might be other ways to root this ROM, below is what I followed and successfully rooted it.

1. Flashed 'Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1'. ( This gave red CWM )

2. Re-booted into CWM (got into red CWM)

3. Flashed 'su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip' & re-booted.

That's it.

Attached the required files below.

Note

: I got the files attached from the xda Infuse forums, they are NOT mine. I take no responsibility. Try the above steps at your own risk. I am just sharing what I did, its up to you to do it or not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 3GBeyotch:
Every time I did this I broke my Wifi when using WPA - how's it working for you?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jprattnu:
cool -but, is all video functionality still broken, or did you go back to stock kernel? thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joho5:
How do you flash from a stock kernel (aka the one you will have after flashing this leak), to a modded kernel? Cause don't you have to have root to flash a kernel?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jprattnu:
No - you can use Odin or heimdall to flash a kernel if you don't have root/cwm.

see this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965190
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Just flash Entropy's kernel and your rooted.

As a tar use Odin, by itself, use Hemidall.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Greatminds:
I haven't tested the video functionality after rooting, I am sorry. I went back to other ROM as I liked it better (MaxQ's ROM).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CollinsJ:
Sounds like user error or lack of understanding. Yea I know you have more posts than me but sheesh....., I've been using the site for a couple years and just decided to create an account recently for kicks as I rarely have a need to comment, thanks for making me glad I made an account.

Thanks Devs for the hard work, those of us with the ability to read appreciate it and have no issues :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Flashable rooted version coming...deodexing now...bout an hour
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
I understand enough that I was able to root KK4 eventually without losing video, wifi and external sd, but simply swapping kernals back and forth like the devs suggest doesn't work. There's more to it...so yes to user error.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rdannar:
Just what i needed.. I've bricked this phone around 20 times installing different Rom... No worries though... I do that with every phone i get...

I think i have flashing down so might start to make a Rom. i already move all bloatware off of it and will change look of it soon. Ill give the phone a few days to decide if im going to keep it as i am already working on Rom for other phone and this phone is kinda slow..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Good deal. Your work here is highly appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joho5:
Will this rooted version lack any of the phone capabilities?

Also do these leaks have HDMI functioning?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
no it wont...video will not work..but you can flash stock kernel back and you will still be rooted and video will work then
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
On your version? Why not root the system image but keep the stock kernel?

It wouldn't be the first time the Infuse community has had to swap kernels using SGS Kernel Flasher to enter CWM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Good idea entropy...i havent thought of doing that with so much going on...ill try that in a few...thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joho5:
does this version with the original kernel and unrooted have hdmi and bluetooth and all phone capabilities?

thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Yes. Everything works.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Was reading some other threads and entropy said the new leaks have ciq. Had a crazy week at work so haven't had much Google time but wondered if anyone has removed yet with treve tool or manually. A few sites read that Samsung has an off button buried deep but couldn't find directions. Some suggested those directions were removed because of threats of litigation.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
Instead of asking in all ROM threads, it would be more helpful, if you open a new thread in QA section as "which rom allow you to record your phone calls?".

Been running this for a few days, and it's very solid. With the stock kernel, everything works like it should (video, bluetooth, etc.). This looks pretty close to release quality.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
This is like 10th thread saying the same thing, Except AT & T all the variations of HTC Holiday/Raider/ support unlocking the boot loader via htcdev.com.

This has been true for all the recent HTC devices launched at least in Canada and Europe.

htcdev.com does not list HTC Raider as support device but the process works and including me many were able to unlock the boot loader.

IMO our best bet right now is getting evil_devnull a device. At least we could say that we tried. I'm really sick of this "pointing fingers" between htc and att.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Agreed. Besides, many of us won't want to void our warranties by doing it HTC's way anyways.

I will let you know.

HTC actually responding to me on Facebook...but they seem very clueless this is even an issue. I've been trying to make my voice heard by repeated messages to AT&T and HTC on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter...this is the first response I've gotten. Anyone to tack on some comments?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
As much as it would help us to get HTC to unlock it, I doubt most of us want to void our warranties.

Like someone said a few posts above, if we can get evil_devnull a device, maybe we'll be in luck.

I bought the Vivid about 7 days ago, I've got 3 weeks left, I don't want to leave it, but will if this issue is not fixed.

Also, maybe if we can get unrevoked or Alpharev (or maybe even both!) to help, that would be great.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
^ EXACTLY! Screw HTC, why are we waiting on them? Let's use some of the money from the bounty thread to get the best dev a device, and hopefully they can get the job done. If we can get it done our way, then we can revert back to stock and not lose our warranties.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
I'm in there now, will be monitoring it closely... should I get information from AT&T I will gladly pass it on to HTC...

We're not going to let them point fingers here...

we will get an answer
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dcarr622:
I'm all for having a third party sollution, and I'd prefer it, too, due to the warranty thing. But as smartphones have always been 100% reliable for me, I'm okay with sacrificing some of my warranty in exchange for being able to use the phone as I please.

A homebrew solution is obviously preferred. But from my perspective, there is no guarantee that we'll have either, especially not by the 6th when my return period is up. I'm going to have to make the jump away from HTC I'm afraid, unless some miracle happens :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
I'm thinking if we can get a couple unlocked legitimately, we might be able to look at the code and unlock it our way.

if not...

I only have a week to go before my 30 is up... im running out of options
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
I say return it, wait a few days, upgrade again.

That way, you get another 30 days.

Also, we need to find some dev who knows how to do this, and get their hands onto a Vivid, and let them do their magic. Does someone know anyone willing to do it? I'm sure we could donate to get them a device.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
Anyone else here excited now? :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] IanWizard:
Now let's all be honest here. We all know that HTC is just being ******* to ATT, to make them happy, and keep their business; Samsung has the balls to say that it's their device, they'll do whatever they want with it, and they know that they're good enough to do whatever they want, and ATT will still come runnin'.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
No call yet...

I'm not actually expecting a call... I'm expecting Customer Care to have read my Tweets wrong and think they are dealing with SIM Unlock...

They will investigate and realize what I AM talking about and I won't hear from them again.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
AT&T called me.

1st, they were very nice.

They say it looks like it's HTC... they'll have a definitive answer by Friday...

He did say worst case scenario is it stands where it is now, with AT&T saying they have not requested the lock and HTC saying they have... but that he will try and get me some sort of answer.

They promised Friday because that would still give us users (they did say they are dealing with me and know I am relaying the info to you all) time to decide what we will do before our 30 days is up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
LOL. HTC just sent me a survey regarding my contact with them in this matter.

I'm glad to see there is such an open dialogue going on here with both HTC and ATT. The lines of communication have been opened and both companies are aware. Good work by all.

I feel like we've made an impression and this will be resolved soon. I don't plan on returning my Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
It didn't last 5 minutes this time. I guess ATT can't stand the heat.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
I'd hold of the decision not to return it until we actually get some resolution to these issues. They have been 'responsive' before and still we are in this situation...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
right.

at this point i'm cautiously optimistic... but we're almost out of time.

I am actually considering returning mine, submitting the receipt to the class action... and getting a Skyrocket, with the intent to return it and get the vivid if this is resolved....

not sure.

I REALLY want the Vivid. But I want it the way I first saw it... when it was the Holiday.

It really does appear it is AT&T forcing them to lock it... and AT&T is not willing to admit that... We are so screwed.

There's an Evo 3D in the market place for $200 in really good shape. Its a steal for that cost but the seller is only offering it at that price for today.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366006
[Epic 4G General] kaoruAngel:
If you had neither phone, the answer would likely be easy: get the Evo (even if it were simply the Evo 4G -- and not the 3D -- we were talking about it would be the better choice given the heavy handful of unnecessary complications the Epic 4G comes along with like GPS, accelerometer quirkiness and lagging CM support [not to mention lagging manufacturer support]).

Given that you actually already have an Epic 4G, the answer is a little tougher. It would be easy to say: "Try and stick it out for now. The Epic's a decent phone. Load up some lean, optimized ROM's and it may satisfy you for quite a time longer."

Sure that would be easy for me to say, but it also comes from the view of subsidized phone buyer that isn't used to giving $200 and not receiving a top-2 tier phone. But wait, what are we talking about?? "they both are about the same spec wise" is way FALSE...

The Evo 3D is a top-2 phone on the Sprint network (it should have twice the

potential

processing power of the Epic 4G, does have twice the RAM [which, btw, I would expect to be the solution for the majority of any slowdowns you may be experiencing with your Epic], and if we are to continue to distinguish their specs... it also has 35% more screen real-estate, resolution-wise [if that matters to ya]). If you can indeed buy it contract-less for the same price everyone else typically pays for a top-tier-er on-contract: just buy the darned thing.

Disclaimer: I have never used, nor completely read any reviews on, and do not explicitly 'follow' the happenings of the Evo 3D. The above recommendations are based on solid common sense, but should not be confused to include personal experience with the device.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I own both and I have to say that the epic is WAY faster even when the evo is on an AOSP rom. Also, the epic screen is way better...
