[Samsung Infuse 4G] kylepurdon:
Hello,

I recently upgraded my AT&T Samsung SGH-I997 (Infuse 4g) to the new GINGERBREAD.UCKL2 (2.3.6) version using Kies-Mini.

Now...

I got SuperOneClick v.2.3.3.0 to root the phone, just as I had done before with Froyo.

I made sure USB Debugging was on.

I started SuperOneClick and clicked ROOT

I plugged my phone into USB (Did not click to connect)

SuperOneClick freezes on Step 7.

I have tried every method out there to get around this.

Ideas? Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
SOC has not been reported to be a good tool for root.

I recalled 1 user reported success with repeat attempts.

You can try:

Try a few times...see if there is a zerg rush option also.

Let us know.

edit...nvm...doesn't work...only up to 2.3.5
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reefrunway:
Tried the method linked to above twice to no avail. Each time the process is apparently run without a hitch -- and the phone automatically reboots. But there is no root access when I check using root check or trying to run Titanium BU. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears. I'd like to get rooted.... :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yes please be a guinni pig. but i dont have high hopes for rooting without a non secure kernel.

now that the bulk of users arent scare of gb since it became official it would be nice to see if anything will root it other than a kernel (the kernel swap is fool proof but annoying with all the lagfix and sdcard mounting weirdness that we have right now, need sources and devs... lol)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah but that says 2.3.5 from samfirmwares. 2.3.5 was rootable with any tool that used zergrush. it is the 2.3.6 builds that are an issue..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reefrunway:
Yeah, I tried it on my newly updated (to 2.3.6 build) Infuse about half dozen times (via SOC), to no avail. Gave psneuter exploit a couple tries too. Oh well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
you're right. up to uckj4 was possible.

I wasn't paying attention to the last .5 to .6 change after uckj4
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Lordkuruku7:
I am in the same boat. I didn't do the research about the ease of rooting prior to moving to gingerbread. I have been waiting intently and checking often for this official gingerbread release.

So far I am noticing tremendously increased battery life. I could normally run 8-10 hours and with the same usage I am getting 14-16.

I miss my root terribly- I use it to Wifi Tether for my laptop among many things.

I am willing to be a tester, I have no experience with rooting or flashing beyond SOC. I am an old-school blackrain/redsnow guy from my iphone days so I get nervous with all this "flashing kernels" talk.

Any advice for a novice wanting to enjoy some gingerbread goodness without sacrificing root?

Any recommended kernels to flash to for the infuse? I want it to be as close to stock as possible without losing features or my newfound battery.

Root FTW!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Try Zeus Build 5.2 stock or Victory or Leak Uckl2 rooted. There are all uckl2 based. As Close to stock as possible.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joseph_madre:
I wonder if downgrading to older rooted firmware and then using CWM, applying a zip format of the UCKL2 rooted ROM would work? Just a thought...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
I don't know if this method works.

Flash a custom kernel with root on it. Then flash back to stock kernel. Worked when leak came out, so I don't see why it won't work with this since they're identical.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] marklucas:
It's strange you say that... My battery life was excellent (before update) and is now dreadful. I'd love to go back to stock Froyo if I knew how...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yes that would work. but you could also flash the rooted leak with a flashtool like odin or swap kernels around with a flash tool like odin or heimdall since you will need it to flash stock anyhow....

im working on it, seems answering the question isnt enough, i have to make it simple and all parts in one place with a unified instruction set and a large banner that says "root gingerbread update!"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Lordkuruku7:
That sounds awesome Dani. I don't mind the idea of trying out something like Zeus or Odin. I love Greek and Norse mythology so these names really hit home. I guess I just need the proper files and a "hold my hand and walk me through" for the exact scenario I'm in. Thanks in advance for all the replies and suggestions.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
this is true but some people prefer stock (odexed and all) and its not totally unreasonable. I'm running Zeus myself. and it is quicker than other kl2 builds I used. I have all the stuff I want to put together but I'm juggling time with watching my nephews, fixing my car and later the big game and I have to test every thing in there too. I'm a bit slow but ill get everything together before tomorrow I'm sure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hat Trick:
Hello I'm fairly new to this mod stuff. I had a Captivate and used SOC without a hitch. Never had to flash anything well not that I know of. I'd like to root my Infuse to really get rid of all the bloatware and put on an ad blocker. Can someone run down the steps of how to flash my phone or point me to a good link? Much appreciated
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
hang on. they pulled the update and will release another one.

bassicaly you can flash a Rogers based custom kernel for root but the sdcard mounting and video and wifi is all different and depending on the kernel you flash may not work. the more recent version of these kernels have workarounds in the boot scripts and will fix the sdcard and wifi, the video is a fix you gotta do yourself and the Rogers phone doesn't support HDMI so that is lost. the best thing to do is flash a custom kernel for one boot and flash back to stock. I was making a cwm package to flash the kernel to stock but had errors in my updater script. I can fix it but I'm waiting on the next update because I don't feel like doing it twice. I figure if someone truely needs root they should be able to follow the Rogers root thread an get through it.

if you want to do it manually you will need the stock kernel and a custom kernel like the Rogers root kernel. and you will want the ultimate unbrick package (just in case) and a copy of Odin3 v1.7 or v1.82 or heimdall. there is an Odin flashable copy of the kl2 kernel floating around somewhere. maybe in the numas rom or Caty rom thread but if not it can be extracted from the package from prezkret and zip'd and flashed with sgs kernel flasher.

when. you have all the parts, open odin and load the custom kernel into the PDA slot. the kernel must be in a tarball. that's an archive with a ".tar" extension. it may also be in a ".tar.md5" put the phone in download mode (shut down the phone and hold volume+ and volume- and insert the USB cable) when you see the android with a shovel start the flash.

reboot the phone, then flash the stock kl2 kernel. (don't flash the kg3 kernel from the Rogers thread or a froyo kernel) if you have the stock kernel in a .tar or .tar.md5 flash it the same way as before. if you have a zImage only then zip it and flash it through sgs kernel flasher from the market.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcguire:
I have tested at least 5 ICS roms (including the latest XXLPB) and have had problems with them all. The main problem being that the phone goes into a deep sleep that it can't wake up from, or it simply resets itself.

Now I never had these problems with GB roms, but I never uses titanium backup PRO with GB either.

Last night I installed XXLPB and used it for about an hour or so, installed titanium and went to bed.

Went to use it this morning and it's turned off and I have to pull the battery.

Are other people using titanium with ICS roms with no problems?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sr.Keony:
Maybe the problem u have its the apk (titanium)

I been used ics rom (xxlp6) and i used titanium last night to reduce the unused apk andits working good. Good lock and try another version of titanium i use v.3.6.7
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdj57:
Never had any issues until XXLPB.

Now apps wont restore to the sdcard and apps fail to install from the market when they try to install to sdcard. All previous restores to lp2/lp6 worked fine.

i did have the same issue, somebody on other thead mentioned and i did try it and worked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkchopbolt:
the other bug I found with TB was that when you unfreeze a system app it doesn't restore it. You have to back it up, uninstall and reinstall.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ffbf:
I do not have any issues like sleep of death or reboots with Titanium Pro installed, I just couldnt restore my apps. It worked in CM9 but in XXLPB it freezes (titanium, not the phone) restoring most of apps. I did have this issues with setcpu in CM9.

Edit: Found a workaround.

Same here, it was 3-4 apps out of around 50 I have that made TB pause. I simply installed them from the market again and restored the data only.

[Acer Iconia A500] drellisdee:
Designed for honeycomb 3.2+ and Iconia a500 only.

Includes:

Sched autogroup

Undervolted & overclocked up to 1646mhz (is set at 1000mhz on boot overclock with setcpu as desired) sweet spot for max stability seems to be ~1504mhz.

GPU overclocked to 133% of stock

JCRU

VR io-scheduler (sio & bfq are included)

Option & cifs & tun & UTF8 are compiled in

Smartassv2 & lagfree gov (interactive as default)

Correctly reports sn & snid for full gameloft compatibility

Mass storage enabled (use script included)

Patched ufsd.ko (acer's ntfs module) for use with 2.6.36.4+ kernel

Most debugging is turned off

Wifi sleep of death is fixed

Many other performance and upstream tegra 2 patches see github for full list.

Suggestions for best performance:

In init.picasso.rc in boot.img's ramdisk make these modifications for best I/O performance on ext4

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system wait ro noatime nodiratime
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev nodiratime noauto_da_alloc
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev nodiratime noauto_da_alloc
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /system/vendor wait ro noatime nodiratime

The above could also be changed by an init.d script.

Use of mass storage:

From a root # shell with terminal emulator or from adb shell:

mass_storage on -- to enable
mass_storage off -- to disable

Special Note:

Acer 3.2's kernel source has the "Insert Sim" warning on lock screen

It can be disabled by adding ro.carrier=wifi-only to your /system/build.prop

Kernel is packaged in koush's anykernel so it will replace the kernel & ko's only keeping your ramdisk unmodified for maximum compatibility with a wide variety of roms.

Special Thanks:

Richard Trip for his Iconia kernel source & overclocking code

Caz70 for the snid & sn framework (I made a small change to get it 100%)

GPL source use devel2 branch

[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
I used to use your Imagio Roms. Great to see you here. I still see some of those wm 6.5 features just making their way to Android.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hmmmm.... I suppose this kernel will run on a 501 Dres? I know you said 500, but I suppose it's because you couldn't test it?

But it's going to depend on how low you under-volted the frequencies. If it's too low, it will freeze the 501 when on internal 3g.

So if you were to compare frequencies and voltage, which version of RTripp's kernel would you compare it with. As anything higher than his 3.4+, will freeze the 501 eventually.

But, it's damn nice to see a new kernel here at xda. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
This looks great. How did you overclock the GPU?
[Acer Iconia A500] drellisdee:
Can you give me the voltages @freqs from that kernel that work on a501. You can get them easily from setcpu voltage tab
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Sure, give me a little bit. Have to call parents on skype, then I will send you screen caps from RTripps 3.4+

Then, I will check your current kernel. I love kernels ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Screen Caps

Sorry for the delay. Family first, especially when they live on the other side of the world. ;)

2 jpgs, taken from system tuner.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The only diff in voltage is at 1.6. You run about 25mv higher than the 3.4+ kernel.

EDIT: After Antutu, I get 7375. About 40pts above my usual. Note that I am running daily driver.

I guess, I need to flash back to my base install to get a good reading. Also, fps was +1 on what I normally get.

I will need to have about 5 days though, under 3g only, to give my approval for the 501.

These are just first impressions. But so far, no issues with the 501.
[Acer Iconia A500] joe9002:
I no nothing about kernels but i do overclock my tab and under volt so comparing thor's to this what benefits do we get?

please don't drag me backwards through broken glass for using his name here im just interested in a comparison.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I was thinking more like "hot coals".... broken glass is so... superficial.

Here's the deal. Unless you haven't noticed, there are only 2 kernel Dev's. RichardTripp and Thor.

Of course they both have really good kernels. And they are both some of the best Devs. Nobody can argue that (and please, this is not the place for GPL arguements, so people, don't start it)

The issue, is that they developed these kernels, for the a500, because they don't have 501's. And in the quest for the maiximum undervoltage to extend battery life, they forgot about everything else. Like internal 3g for the 501's. Yes, 501's are very sensitive to this.

Also, it seems they forgot about GPU, although that technically, is a seperate area.

So when a Dev puts out a new kernel, it deserves to be tested. Perhaps there is something extra that other devs missed.

So the answer, is yes. It's a big deal.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] joe9002:
I will sit back and wait for some feed back then hoping for a comparison im hoping to learn some thing new im getting a bit fed up with my DHD.
[Acer Iconia A500] drellisdee:
Not to open a can of worms but I haven't used his kernel nor have I seen his source :) so I can't really compare it.
[Acer Iconia A500] drellisdee:
I got the gpu oc from richard trip btw. The mass storage is new to iconia though and is also featured in my recovery. Does the sn & snid report correctly on an a501 also?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
It's ok dude. Nobody has seen his source, except Digitex. At least for the ICS.

As with your kernel, I can say this,

With benchmarks on my stock install, it's on par with RT's 3.4+ on wifi and 3g. Base install.

However, under load with apps installed, including 3BP Shell launcher, which is a big resource pig, it is consistantly about 40-50+ points overall. Running antutu benchmark. on 3g.

So something you did, gave it just a tad bit of boost, at least when under a load. Would be nice, if you could put the "death grip" on it, and squeeze just a touch more. Probably in the GPU area.

Nice job Dres....
[Acer Iconia A500] Reno_kun:
Hi drellisdee, thanks a lot for your work.

My A501 (but I don't use 3G) don't boot with this kernel and civato's Rom.

In fact, boot stops at the first screen, the black one with the white inscription "ACER". Any idea?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Did you do a Dalvik wipe before installing?

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

Here's what I know about Civato's rom. The Thor 3.9r3 kernel, is tied in with some other files that enable to give native NTFS support.

It's possible that Dres's kernel, may break that connection.

And that;s what gives you the stuck at acer screen.

Just a guess.

But try wiping dalvik. then install.
[Acer Iconia A500] Reno_kun:
Yes, before and after to be sure :(
[Acer Iconia A500] drellisdee:
Its doubtful that a module for ntfs could break booting. You will need to check the init.rc's for changes and also init.d scripts. If you could get a shell connection and do a dmesg & logcat that would be very usefull.

With that said this kernel is built from a500 source and I cannot support a 501 as I dont have one. If it works on some 501 setups thats a bonus but wasn't intended to work.
