Hi, I was wondering if you or anyone has tried flashing the stock ROM in the toolkit on a device that has been running 4.2.2. Is it a rooted version.I haven't tried yet because I was unsure of the partitioning issues. If it hasn't been tried and you think it may be possible. I will most likely make a new nandroid, make sure my Heimdall drivers are installed, then give it a try.

I appreciate your and the other fantastic developers hard work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jfromh:
i am interested to here about the results. :highfive:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
The ROM in the toolkit is installed just like any other GB firmware. The process does not modify partitions, so it will not get you back to a working GB setup.

At present, an Odin or Heimdall package with a PIT file is the only way back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elbscorp:
Okay thanks, that was what I was afraid of.

does anyone have a lInk for the nifuse toolkit
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigbob_ftw:
Can this be used on top of any ics ROM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] NunHugger:
Nice work sir!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vietux:
This is awesome.

Probably...but only for backup and modem modem flashing and bootanimation...i think everything else may be GB only...dont know though havent used it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Hey bob, yes it can...when I tested this for the Mighty Zen, I did a full backup of an ics ROM...then went to another ics ROM. Then went back to the first ics that I had bkup, I did a full restore of the first ics ROM using this great tool...and it was GTG..."good to go".

Also if your feeling the....I also backup an ics ROM, then went to a GB ROM, (having to flash to get red cwm first) then wanting to go back to the backup of ics, I flash to get blue then did a full restore of the backup ics...work great.

but yes the fail safe loaded in the program is a GB ROM

make sense...sometimes I don't...LOL
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Backing up what bigjoe said, the majority of the functions of the toolkit should work on ICS roms.

Flashing the (GB) kernels in the toolkit is not a good idea as it will break your ICS installation and may soft brick your phone. I might add some ICS kernels in the future. For now, look to your ICS ROM dev for that...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
correct sir, I should of pointed that out...the flash of red or blue CWM, I did was out of the utility...then went back into the utility...Thx Sir.

But the fact that you can restore a full ics once on blue or full gb, without skipping a beat...is awesome...

never been a fan of nan backup...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teknhard:
This is a fantastic idea. Thanks for your work on this Zen
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
What?!?, this is beyond fantastic....:pand Yes thx Zen...

[Samsung Infuse 4G] oldbbman:
Actually this tool is like amazing. U can "zip" around from rom to rom with ease. Add tweaks screens etc. :thumbup::thumbup:

Zen this is great. Soon we will all not know how we lived without it.:D:D:D

This is easily a great option for any ICS ROM indeed, I put it with Jb's ultimate cm9 and its already a noticeable change in speed and flow.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Zen stepping up to the plate!!!! Nice work man looking great.. I gotta give this bad boy a shot when I have a chance. Thank you!

Let me also add in general the progress with the infuse dev in the past month or two has been incredible. Its amazing to see how far we've come with this phone. The future looks promising and I can't wait to see what's next!

It's just amazing. Fantastic.:eek:

Soon I will get Galaxy 3 from my WORKING PLACE

But because of the excellent developers and the community here, I wonder whether to stay with the INFUSE:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
the main DL LINK seems to be working...but try this one also

CLICK ME

I use dolphin via phone, but the main link works...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
They're working for me. How are you trying to download?

GAPY427, in case you are using the stock phone browser to download, try using a third-party browser like Dolphin or Opera.

EDIT: The main link (dev-host) and mirror #1 (minus) are working. Mirror #2 is a Dropbox link, and it has been disabled due to heavy traffic (Another reason that I'm glad that I've moved my public stuff off of my personal Dropbox account).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:
Zen, I have used my allotted number of "thanks" today so let me post a big thank you ! This is going to be most helpful. Excellent work, sir!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Mirror #2 is down - Dropbox decided there was too much traffic

The other two are up...

If you are attempting to download from your phone make sure you are using a browser that supports large downloads - Dolphin and Opera should work. There are other apps that will help as well. Mirror #1 is minus.com - you may need the Minus android app for that link. I'd recommend trying the primary download link again either from your PC or with one of the browsers listed above.

Edit - yeah.. what jscott30 and bigjoe said...:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Zen you can throw my post link up there if required...:)

Thas raht!

Second mirror is now on 4shared.com. Nice site for dev hosting, once you get over having to sign up in order to download :D

Primary is dev-host (and the best option)

Mirror 1 is Minus (can be hit or miss, phone downloads require the Minus app)

Mirror 2 is 4shared (have to set up an account)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vmatt:
Is it possible to flash bootloader with this great utility?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Nope..

Best bet is a heimdall or Odin package for bootloaders
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
It is not that it can't be done. It's pretty easy. I had a bootloader heimdall 1 click package. Jscott30 had one made for odin.

With all the warnings regarding bootloader flash, I did not release mine to general use.

JScott changed some of his odin package to remove it.

You can get this from Entropy's CM9 thread, third post. You can also odin any whole gb leak package.

Heimdall 1 click package has a safety feature where you flash the rom only first to test the connection. Once that is complete and successful, you can flash the second time with boot loaders.

Due your diligence...you'll thanked yourself for it later.

Ah... thank you for helping me file a report. :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
By the way, though I took the GB bootloaders out of the rooted UCLB3 Odin packages, I do have a separate Odin package on that thread to flash just the bootloaders. It can be flashed without flashing all of UCLB3. The link is in the answer to question #1 on the FAQ on the rooted UCLB3 Odin thread. I put it way down there to be sure that only literate folks could find them.

Zen, I've used the Infuse Toolbox several times today. It's mighty good stuff, Sir.

I dunno if I'm late to the party, but regardless, I feel that a thanks is in order for bringing us this creative wondertool that will revolutionize our phone. So, thanks.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerryeight:
how do you know when it is done installing cause when i select to install the zip file in blue cwm froyo bootloaders all rainbowed it just laggs out after script runs
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
Are you asking about installing something within the toolkit, or just installing the toolkit?

For installing the toolkit, Your screen should look like the pics in the original post by Zen. When i installed from cwm, it went to the Aroma menu screen in the OP right after i flashed the zip file. It took like 5 seconds.

Also, i can see your toilet
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerryeight:
ok then i think the problem is cause of my not using gb bootloaders, also may i ask what rom, bootloader and cwn edition are you using cause i have the cwm blue entropy cm9 5/27 froyo bootloader

is there anyone who was able to install without needing to upgrade to gb boot loaders ?

lol took the pic with my webcam forgot to close bathroom door :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Your recovery is rainbowed a you've suspected due to the use of cwm 5.xxx without the GB bl. If you knew cwn like the back of your hand, it is still usable.

If not, you can flash bl as instructed on entropy cm9 thread.

You can also down grade the kernel to cwm 2.xxx and have a non rainbowed cwm.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerryeight:
yea i can still use it no problem but the installer for aroma just lags out infinitely at the screen after the rainbowed script starts running near the bottom. seconds after the scipts run it goes to the screen in my photo
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Maybe you should do what qkster suggested ....prob would help on the lag also...qkster work is part of the tool kit also, i believe....so he being one the jedi masters...i would listen, sir.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teknhard:
+1 Jedi master
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jerryeight:
ok i will listen to the great qkster could someone please direct me to the cwm 2.x.x installer i found th page with kernels but i am confused. sorry about the noob questions i did not mean any disrespect
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
This one is all Zen's brainchild, Joe.

Zen is like Yoda. :D

Well, maybe not as shriveled.

Zen gets all the credit on this one. Aroma is a very nice shell. Zen created the guts. Without the guts, and all the time Zen invested in it, Aroma was just a link we looked at and said, "neat."

All the scripts, back up, restore, boot animation, build.prop tweaks, revert, efs backup, modified adrenaline etc...Zen's work.

Again, very nice work, bro. Your scripts are masterful.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
I don't think any of us took your questions as disrespect, jerry.

You can get the cwm 2.xxx either in odin or heimdall or flashable zip in cwm. The 2.xxx cwm are gb kernels.

Check the ISet on Joe's signature line or Zen or my sig line. Gl
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Thanks qk :) (There is a bit of your work and ideas in the toolkit though...)

Full disclosure... if you poke around in the scripts, you'll see that I give credit to you for the full wipe script. Mine is substantially derived from the one you put together. Your CWM EFS backup was the inspiration for mine - I took it to illogical extremes, but if one is going to muck around with that partition, best to have a few options for restore if something goes wrong when attempting an unlock.

Since we're talking star wars, here's an amusing video:

Beautiful work. Seriously (coming from a QA person). Thank you!

Sorry for the noobie question. Is it required to "install" this through CWM everytime we want to run this or am I missing part of the puzzle? I am currently on a 2.3.6 with red recovery. Is ICS with AROMA need for full beni's? I see something mentioned of a blue recovery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Yes, you need to run it every time. The toolkit doesn't get installed, it just gets loaded/executed via the cwm option used to run zip files that in the past was used only to install roms.

The toolkit works with GB and ICS. For ICS, there are no kernel options at present so flashing one of the GB kernels while running ICS is not a good idea...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] t12357:
Hello,

First of all thanks for this amazong toolkit.

I used it to backup and I also wiped caches.

I am having a problem now that my wi-fi networks are not being "remembered," even between toggles on/off of the wi-fi, so everytime I have to select the wi-fi I want to joing and type the password again.

Would you have a pointer as to what can I check to try and fix this situation?

I backed up settings too and I have not tried a restore of the same.

Thank you for your work and for your help,
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Try a restore of your wifi AP settings from the toolkit. If that does not help, using a root capable file manager take a look at /data/wifi ... There should be two files there. ownership should be system:wifi, permissions 660, or rw-rw----

Open bcm_supp.conf.. Your AP info should be in there. Reply back with what you find.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] t12357:
Thank you for your answer.

I checked the /data/wifi directory.

The two files are there: bcm_supp.conf and default_ap_delete

Ownership and group and permissions are all OK.

I can see inside the *conf file the data of the wifi networks I use is there and it is correct.

The other file, I opened as text and it just has a 0 character in there.

I have not done a restore yet.

I will try that later on, but everything you told me to check seems to be fine.

I will report back once I have a chance to run the restore config.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
Since those files check out fine you don't need to do a restore. Nothing else in the toolkit touches files associated with wifi.

What rom are you running? Did you make any other changes around the time that wifi started misbehaving?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
This toolkit is really a swiss knife.

i have renamed it as update.zip for speedy loading.

Can we see some more frequent used option like install zip from SD card etc. in the future update :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Have you considered adding some ICS kernels? Though not necessary, I find it useful to flash Entropy's CM9 kernel / recovery just before an ICS install. PM me if you need some kernel images. I bet people would like some other ICS kernel options also if you have room in memory.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
I'm looking into ways to integrate launch of the toolkit (or rom install based on Aroma Installer) into the "Z" kernels. Not sure when this will happen, but initial investigation shows a couple ways this might happen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
I'm definitely planning to add ICS kernels to the next release. With the help of qkster I identified some additional apps that could be removed from the failsafe ROM, so there's space available for 2-3 more kernels. Send me a PM with links to the top ICS kernels and I'll stage them for the next release.

Just curious... Ever since i used this tool, it seems that my reboot takes forever.. It hangs on the Cyanogen splash screen for like 20 seconds.. when before it took like 5 seconds.. I flashed different roms and it still happens.. Anyone else experience this or just me? Ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
I've not seen this issue. However, my build.prop is different.

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

Try it. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
How can I use this tool to install a ROM.

I have installed the tool kit, using install zip from SD card option. I dont see any option to install ROM, in it, I see backup restore, and kernel options.

one more question.

Evertime do I need to install this tool kit to use it. because when I open recovery, its just like old recovery, i dont see aroma there.

May be i am doint some thing wrong, or not undestood how to use this tool.

please help me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Yea.. Not sure that will help... Im thinking i may need to flash the bootloaders again... :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
I'm not sure you got my jest, Scott. Adding that line kills the boot ani. Fast load.

@atrix: you need to run aroma every time your boot into recovery.

After you wipe or back up, you exit toolkit and then flash your ROM
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Lol yes i am fully aware of that, but the thing is that it is hanging before the bootanimation... So it would not make a difference with resolving my current issue of hanging on the cyanogen splash screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
Thanks qkster. So aroma, can be use to just wipe or back up, but not for flashing the ROM. I thought we can use it to flash the ROM also. my bad.

Anyway thanks for the information.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
The toolkit does have one ROM built in but it is a small shell of a ROM intended only for emergencies or for devs who want to test a change against a known stable base. The toolkit is designed as a replacement for most of the functions of the standard recovery menus and adds a few options to customize a ROM that is already installed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
I've noticed that behavior too, but wasn't really paying attention. Are you selecting the reboot option when exiting the toolkit? If so, just for S&G, answer no to that prompt and then choose the CWM menu reboot option. If that turns out to be the issue, I'll change the way reboot happens in the next release.

NVM...Just tested -

reboot out of installer - 26s before bootani shows

reboot directly from CWM - 25s before bootani

Not sure why (or even if) the toolkit is behind this. I'll be flashing a new ROM soon to see if this behavior goes away. Might be kernel related too.

On a separate note - A boot animation can be a great diagnostic tool to show where you are at in the boot process, incurring only a slight multitasking performance debit as it runs alongside the normal bootup process. To enable this very helpful feature:

debug.sf.nobootanimation=0 (in build.prop)

Or install one of the bootanimations in the toolkit... it will take care of this automatically (sorry qk) :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Awesome... Glad im not alone... was thinking i messed something up on my end somehow. Its not a huge deal, but its just the fact that im very impatient. lol. I flashed a different ROM with a different Kernel and behavior continued.. Im debating flashing the bootloaders again, but id rather avoid doing that..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
:D

No prob. In the 1-2 sec, i usually answer the call of nature anyway. Sooooo i couldn't tell the difference.

If you are changing noboot=1, please add a revert on the next build. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
I'll call it...

Title - "Disable boot animations"

Desc - "Qkster seems to think this makes the phone boot faster, yet fails to offer empirical evidence to support this claim"

:D

And ... only 1-2 seconds to answer the call? That's some serious Jedi magic! :eek:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
FYI.... While i was messing around with my kernel build tonight, i was stuck and couldnt boot up.. So i flashed Heimdell JT ICS kernel.. It flashed the kernel and the recovery.. Rebooted and guess what? No more lag time that i was experiencing before when booting the phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
That's what I'm taking about, homey. :)

I'll forgive you from posting it in the wrong thread.

If you're working with ics and base ROM is ics, and boot loop, just heimdall an ics kernel to get back recovery. You don't necessarily have to unbrick the wrong ROM, only recovery.

Like wise, if you are working in gb, and base ROM is gb, and boot loop, just flash one of the heimdall gb kernel to get back recovery. And in recovery, flash zen toolkit, to get aroma for all the wipes, restore back up and such.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Zen,

I thought of something interesting. I don't know if it would actually work but i wonder if your ROM back up will work as a full ROM distribution method?

A said ROM cooker would make a ROM. Boot into aroma or cwm, factor reset, wipe data, cache dalvik and then use aroma full ROM back up. Exit. Find the package on the sdcard. Compress it. Post it. Another user can then download it. Uncompress it and drop it into the back up folder (obviously will need to save their back up first somewhere else). Then perform a restore.

The interesting thing here is after the restore, they can flash kernel and modem of choice while in aroma. I wonder if zip package will be smaller in size to be worth the hassle..or the method of flashing is any more reliable than the current cwm method.

The other way, is there a current method of flashing a ROM in your toolkit?

Some one can posting a ROM without modem and kernel, then after flashing the ROM, user would flash modem and kernel of choice.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oldbbman:
Q

That would be one amazing tool!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
I did add some things to his tool kit for personal use. I use it to install AEON as my backup. Different boot animations, etc. Trying to be first to have AROMA on Note,but not having much luck right now. Working too much.
