Lately JellyBean has intrigued many users, but seems to frequently give them a hard time due to the many steps it requires, specially for GB users. Thus this guide is born in hopes it pacifies everyone's journey to JB.

Are you on stock and have no idea where to start? Jump to 2nd post

Backup EFS (In case you lose your IMEI when converting to MTD)

qkster Scripts

Infuse Toolkit

EFS Pro

If you are still on froyo bootloaders and do not want rainbows on your recovery once on ICS, you must flash GB Bootloaders. Have in mind a bad bootloader flash will brick your phone, so do this at your own risk and with extreme caution.

Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3

Flash once, leave the program open, enter download mode and flash once again, but with "Flash Bootloaders" ticked on.

Bootloaders only -- Use PDA slot.

*Only flash this if you are confident about your Odin/Heimdall connection*

INSTALLATION

Download all Roms and gapps you will be flashing and place them on your internal SD.

If you are already on ICS, skip over to II).

I) GB to ICS

*There are 2 ways of reaching ICS (blue recovery) to then flash JB. Follow the method you feel more comfortable with*

Method A:

1. Boot to Red CWM Recovery

2. Make a nandroid backup (Optional)

3. Wipe Data, Cache & Dalvik Cache

4. Format System

5. Flash ICS Rom

6. Reboot system (not recovery)

7. Phone will hang; hold vol+, vol- & power, and release power when you see the samsung logo to enter recovery.

8. Wipe Data, Cache & Dalvik Cache

9. Flash ICS Rom

10. Reboot

Method B:

1. Run this One-Click ICS Recovery

2. Boot into Download Mode, and Flash

3. Phone will hang; hold vol+, vol- & power, and release power when you see the samsung logo to enter recovery.

Once it boots into ICS, turn off and remove your external sdcard before you move on to flashing JB .

(The MTD conversion tends to go wrong if it is attempted while an ext-sd is inserted)

II) Flashing JB

1. Boot into Recovery

2. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik

3. Format System

4. Flash JB Rom

*The 1st time you flash JB, your phone should reboot twice since it is now converting your phone to MTD file system.*

*continue once the recovery main screen appears.*

5. Flash JB Gapps

6. Reboot

First boot should take a few minutes, so wait patiently and don't freak out.

____________________________

You should now be enjoying JB! :D

If something went wrong and you got caught in a bootloop, go back to stock with one of these:

Heimdall One-Click UCLB3

[ODIN][UCLB3 Unbrick - Return to stock - Working PIT included

and to all the other devs that have made Jelly Bean a possibility for the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Starting from scratch:

Currently on stock Froyo:

1) Use Heimdall or Odin to flash stock UCLB3 (GB)

*Suggestion: Also flash GB bootloaders. See first post for links and warnings.*

2) Flash Entropy's DD kernel to obtain root and red CWM recovery.

Currently on stock GB:

1) Flash Entropy's DD kernel to obtain root and red CWM recovery.

Fantastic guide, Andros! We've needed this for a month.

Rest assured, this will get a grand seat in the ISET in the next couple of days.

Thank you very much everyone!

Big thanks to qkster who came up with the idea of making the guide, and kindly appointed me with the task. :)

Yes great idea qkster...thanks for doing the tut Andros...this should hopefully ease the frequent job questions
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
:)

Sometimes, one of the painful thing of helping others is messing up your phone or your setup in the process.

Another suggestion I have is if you're still enthusiastic about it, you can also make a YouTube video of the process. :) Some people can't read.

Ex: show your phone running fine. Odin to stock or Heimdall with BL flash. Heimdall-1click Gb kernel or Jscott tar for cwm. Then CM9. Then JB/CNA/Paranoid etc.

I was able to flash CM10 JB but now I am at a loss. Cant get past teh Samsung screen. Somewhere along the line I think I have the wrong PTI file in there as I was attempting to start over. I have tried to go back to stock but Odin always comes up as fail right at the very end of the process. For a while I was stuck in CWM recovery but not it just goes to the samsung screen and sticks.

I have a question. I have a Samsung Infuse phone that is currently on Stock Samsung OEM GingerBread that was released via AT&T. Do I just need to root it and then upgrade to ICS? Or do I need to do something different with it being the stock GB?

I was able to go from Froyo to JB CM10 v2.12 without any issues on my other phone, but I had heard it is a little more complicated if the OEM AT&T Samsung GB was installed.

Thanks for the guide!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Yes you only need to upgrade to ICS, then JB.

Flash Entropy's dd kernel with heimdall to get root and cwm. From there just follow the steps on the guide.

whats the best procedure to revert from jellybean back to ics, jellybean has been very buggy since installed, camera and video force closes more than id like. my infuse started as froyo, from there i went to gb (flashed gb bootloaders) then to ics and finally jb cna nightly. how can i go back to ics, or do i have to go all the way back to froyo stock?

is there a more stable jb i could try first with non buggy video and camera?

This worked amazing had no problems flashing. did anyone else happen to have their messaging app disappear after? mine is gone im not sure how to get it back. any help?

If not you can either download the mms.apk and copy it over to /system/app and set permissions to 644, or reflash the rom.

Help?

Hi guys my infuse was on stock GB with ATT, I ran the Heimdall one-click ICS recovery that was a link on one of andros11's posts at the beginning of this thread. Heimdall one click says it uploaded the kernel successfully and Recovery upload was sucessful and it was rebooting the device. And this is where i am stuck, it has Galaxy S Cyanogen (mod) on screen after reboot and goes no farther. what do i do now?

thanks tim
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
That is expected since you flashed an ics kernel over a gb system.

Boot into recovery with the 3-button combo (hold vol+, vol- and power, release power when samsung logo appears.

Now follow the instructions on part 2 (flashing jb).

what is best rom

thanks, way too new on android, just being careful. so other questions i am running into:

1. What is the best rom or is it CM10, i went out to the "get.cm" to look for the rom but did not see the infuse if you know where it is located at that helps. i do not see anything in this thread that says what is the best or where it might be located at either...

2. what is JB Gapps - my guess some add on apps - in the same spot as the roms?

3. how do i copy roms and gapps to internal sd card now that i am running the ics recovery version?

from the steps these are other things i am not to sure about...

1. Boot into Recovery ****** did this***

2. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik ****** assume that i have to do the options of wipe disk/factory reset and wipe cache partion to do this step

3. Format System ****** do not see a format option

4. Flash JB Rom ****** these are copied to internals sd card do i use Heimdall one click or Heimdall to locate rom on internal sd disk

*The 1st time you flash JB, your phone should reboot twice since it is now converting your phone to MTD file system.*

*continue once the recovery main screen appears.*

5. Flash JB Gapps ****assume same steps as flashing JB rom

6. Reboot

boy a great deal has changed from when i used to do this on my old windows 6 and 6.5 phones.... just a Noob again

thanks again

tim

ok i found this is this still the best rom and steps?

tim
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
There is not a best rom, althought cm10 is really good.

You can find all the roms on the android development forum for our phone.

Gapps are the google apps, which include the play store and many other apps and files. They are often linked in each rom's thread.

to copy the files, you have 2 options at this point:

a) use adb to push the files over to your phone.

b) flash a back to stock pack, boot up, mount phone to pc and copy the files.

In addition to wipe data and cache, under advanced there is an option to wipe dalvik cache.

Under mounts and storage, you'll see the option to format /system

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dr_Nacho:
Just curious as to how I should go about updating this rom.

Here's my exact info:

I'm trying to get the latest version.. should I put that zip in internal storage, wipe caches then install the zip? And this whole process is done with the micro sd card removed of course...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
The new CM10 build is out. Download it to internal storage, and follow OP here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1776129.

Scott recommends factory wipe (to eliminate left over bugs) but it may not be necessary coming from previous version. I am on it now and very nice. And I know with some of the other ROMs, MicroSD does NOT need to be removed. I didn't see that in the OPs instructions.

Rogers Infuse 4g

How do I go about flashing this from what I'm currently using and is it compatible with a Rogers infuse???

i'm running GB 2.3.7

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7

Miui 1.11.25

I've had trouble flashing roms before because they weren't compatible with my carrier or where I got my phone (Rogers)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Yes it should work as long as you have a kernel with cwm red recovery installed.

EFS

What am i supposed to do with, let's say the Infuse Toolkit, to back up EFS?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Flash the toolkit on cwm as you would with any rom and an aroma installer will pop up.

There look for the backup efs option.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jtpourciau:
i messed it up

I was using RC9 of LiquidSmooth and loving it but I downloaded the goomanager and saw the beta 2 out so I flashed it.

It didn't like to play with all my apps, most importantly my alarm clock app and I ended up being late for work:crying:

Anyway, while trying to go back/restore my previous settings I really screwed things up and am at a loss for where to go from here.

All my previous MIUI and such roms are still on there but cwm (which kept going back in color) keeps telling me it is unable to mount or format anything. (I am on red now.)

I cannot boot into anything right now and I don't know what to do.:confused:

I still consider myself a noob as I only flash a few times a year and forget a lot in between....help please!!!!:)

edit: I was able to use odin to go back to rooted stock.

I installed cwm and it said it flashed it in the app but I cannot boot into recovery.

I am getting a screen full of garbled graphics and then it reboots. It does this full screen of graphics when booting too and then goes to the att boot animation. I don't think i can live with the stock GB rom after years of ics and jb!

PLEASE HELP!

Re: [GUIDE] How To Flash JB

are you still having this issue ?

Since you were using LS, I doubt you are missing the GB bootloaders..

If so, try going back to stock, maybe with qkster's heimdall one-click this time. Then flash entropy's dd kernel to get cwm
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bufordjustice:
Thank you, this helped me. I actually had to use method B(1st) combined with method A(2nd) before JB would flash without wiping out my mobile data. I've read all the instructions but finally had to do it a million times before it worked. Happy Now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jtpourciau:
I got it fixed and back on the liquid goodness. I'm very much looking forward to the team carbon project. Your work keeping the infuse on the cutting edge of android is very much appreciated. Att and Samsung forgot about us a long time ago and look what this old girl can do!!!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bufordjustice:
So far I've been doing a lot of testing. It seems that for me (and some recent others) are having this APN and mobile data issue. These instructions ARE correct.

Go back to stock & factory reset.

Then flash the ICS one click kernel and pull out the battery when it hangs on the kernel splash screen. Boot into recovery with 3-finger combo (both vol's & power), wipe and flash jb.

Let it do its thing and you should be good.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sgeos:
This is what I did:

Back up current configuration (rooted 2.3.6 with red CWM).

wipe data/factory reset & Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Pull battery and one click back to stock UCLB3.

wipe data/factory reset

Pull battery and one click ICS kernel.

Pull battery and USB on Galaxy S splash screen.

Boot into recovery. (It tried to use the 3 finger combo, but I think it booted into recovery after displaying the splash screen.)

Upon entering recovery, the same errors were displayed:

CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

This is what I did next:

wipe data/factory rest (no errors when formatting; "Data wipe complete.")

Wipe Dalvik Cache (no real errors; "Data wipe complete. E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard-ext]")

install zip for sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> CARBON-JB-v1.6-infuse4g.zip -> Yes - Install [FILENAME]

Finding update package... Opening update package... Installing update... reboot back into CWM recovery

install zip for sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> CARBON-JB-v1.6-infuse4g.zip -> Yes - Install [FILENAME]

Finding update package... Opening update package... Installing update... Install from sdcard complete.

Go Back -> reboot system now

Samsung splash screen... Galaxy S splash screen... back in CWM ("CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.0").

I'm not convinced that is the way things are supposed to go. Next, I reinstalled the above rom and installed Google Apps.

install zip for sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> CARBON-JB-v1.6-infuse4g.zip -> Yes - Install [FILENAME]

Finding update package... Opening update package... Installing update... Install from sdcard complete.

choose zip from sdcard -> gapps-cm10-jb-20130301-signed.zip -> Yes - Install [FILENAME]

Finding update package... Opening update package... Installing update... Installing Google Apps for Android 4.2.2..

Mounting system... Copying files... Fixing Permissions... Unmounting system... Installation complete! Install from sdcard complete.

Go Back -> reboot system now

Samsung splash screen... Galaxy S splash screen... back in CWM ("CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.0").

This is essentially what happened last time. Advice or links to known working files would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I backed up the above install. Here are a list of the files:

I can get CM9 booted, but when I go to flash a JB ROM (in this case, Slim Bean) and reboot, it goes from the Samsung Logo to the GalaxyS/CM Logo and stays there. I've left it for 10-15 mins. I know you say it takes a few minutes first time, but in this case it seems to be stuck. Is the wait time greater then that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
Try booting to recovery and flashing JB a second time. If you still don't get past the kernel splash screen, try flashing another Rom.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] selw0nk:
I tried every method when upgrading to JB, but my internal SD always disappears after a reboot. I think it has something to do with the media scanner and the MTD partition. I never had this problem on ICS.

how to flash with windows 8?

ok i have tried this for a few hours now and im having no luck. i installed kies to get the drivers but heimdall wont read my infuse at all. i unistalled kies and went with the drivers by themselves but still no luck. i can get my phone rooted just fine and install blue cwm recovery. i need help with the rest of the flashing process. im on froyo currently 2.2.1. i bricked my phone but had my brother unbrick it using his windows xp computer and heimdall ultimate one click unbrick. its build froyo.uckd5 if that means anything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
If you are rooted and have the correct CWM, why are you trying to use Heimdall now. Get a Gingerbread ROM, flash it and then CM9 and then a JB ROM. Or are you trying to do something else?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fham:
Look at psal217050's post (#49). His signature has the mother of all links, the last one about qkster's UCLB3 (GB ROM via Heimdall). That should be perfect for you if you have Heimdall drivers properly configured.

Read qkster's instructions carefully especially about dedicating a USB port and a USB cable only for Heimdall as Heimdall and ODIN don't play well together.

Flash qkster's UCLB3 ROM and do NOT exit Heimdall. Since you are coming from Froyo you will get rainbow bootloaders. Put the phone back into download mode and reflash the UCLB3 ROM again with the options for bootloaders checked (lower left).

You should be good to go from there by following OP's instructions.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] sgeos:
Have you tried every USB port on the machine? The frontside USB ports are not recognized by Heimdall or Odin on my box, but the USB ports on the back are.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Russ_S:
Had trouble with that but another approach worked

Starting from the rooted, full featured, deodex GB ROM, I soft-bricked my Infuse 4G (SGH-I997) multiple times with the above approach. Method A didn't work and SGH_I997-ICS-Kernel-One-Click.jar overwrote the default Samsung USB drivers, breaking Oden. After re-installing the Samsung USB drivers, I got JB working from GB by doing the following:

Return to stock with: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705260 by download: UCLB3_Unbrick_root_1.1.zip Unzip and follow the instructions. It includes Oden and a readme.txt so it's pretty hard to screw up.

Using the same Oden, Flash I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.tar.md5 on top of it by only selecting it as the PDA. You now have the red CWM Recovery. Give this one some time. It even talks to you while its setting up.

Skip through the setup and let it come up so you can plug the USB in.

Download and copy via USB: CARBON-JB-v1.7-infuse4g.zip and gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip to your SD card

Reboot to recovery and wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik

Select update zip and choose: CARBON-JB-v1.7-infuse4g.zip.

Reboot twice!

Reboot to recovery and select update zip and choose: gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pony Express:

I believe this is possible... a few months ago I went from JB back to GB by flashing the GB rom twice... had to clean flash, could not do a GB restore until the clean flash was done first. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Hi, Pony. I thought he said he had a functional phone by flashing gb twice then go from gb to jb and found the phone working.

If you did lose the imei by skipping cm9, you can just flash back to stock and the imei comes back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Russ_S:
IMEI

I don't think I lost the imei (though did run the EFS backup and copied to my computer a while back just in case). I'm able to make and receive phone calls with no issue on ATT. Is that a valid test? :)

---Russ
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Yup..very valid. There may have been some changes in the conversion script of the later jb builds that incorporates what ever that was needed in cm9.

Thanks for confirming
