Boot loader and etc

chrisb906 · Jun 30, 2014

I know this has been asked and answered before but when I google this I get old links and nonexistent exploits. Does infuse have a boot loader? Does it require being rooted and unlocked similiar to an HTC phone ? I'm not new to modifying devices but I could use a Lil insight. How do I go about unlocking bootloader, install a custom recovery and root the infuse? Thanks

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091900&page=370 go to last post on that page and no you don't need to unlock bootloader that i know of?

rooting wise alot of methods work from installing a pre rooted stock rom to using one click apps and also kingo android root one click softwear

That link is for a ROM. Not an exploit. Lol

I would rather issue commands via adb or fastboot. I believe the best way to learn is through manual..rather than a short cut(like super one click..etc)

unlocking this phone would imply from AT&T or rogers not the bootloader i've never heard of anyone doing s-off on a samsung device not trying to sound mean

before i switched from htc to samsung i was wondering the same things but when i read through the different methods and saw how easy it was to obtain root.....i just said okay and went with it and i just go with what i read when rooting moto and zte and other android phones and if they have a one click method i go straight for that one now

So. Since ur familiar with HTC. Is the process similar?? Like do I have to unlock like u do an htc bootloader..flash a recovery then a rooted ROM?

well not necessarily with HTC or at least the sensation i had to get root with an exploit then get s-off to get a recovery but with the infuse you just get root with whatever method you can then flash a kernel to get a recovery and if you flashed with odin you probably got CWM recovery at the same time as root and flashing roms is basically the same after you get the recovery and the HTC myTouch 4G had a similar root and recovery process as the sensation did

To root, I think the easiest way is to ODIN a rooted image over top the phone (but that wipes your data). Probably the most common way is to use an exploit, via SuperOneClick:

To get CWM (if you didn't ODIN one on earlier), all you need to do is flash this in 3e recovery (didn't work for my Rogers phone, probably because it was made for AT&T).

Don't need to worry about unlocking the bootloader (isn't a bootloader to access IIRC), or to S-OFF.

Hope this helps.
