Introduction:
This package will install ATT's SGH-I997 GingerBread UCLB3 to your Infuse 4g.
This package is intended for use on AT&T Network, however it may work with any network if you reset APN. (I have no experience with other networks)
This package includes:
Repartitioning: Repartition to stock UCLB3
Reloading: IBL/PBL, PARAM, SBL, SBL2, Kernel, Recovery, FactoryFS and modem
formatting:Cache and DBdata
This package does not wipe:
EFS(Where your serial number and carrier information is stored)
Data(where your market apps are stored)
SDCard (where your pictures are stored)
How can you use this package?
1. To cleanly install the latest ATT Infuse UCLB3 Gingerbread leak. No hassle One-Click. Then enjoy the lastest leak of Infuse GB.
2. To Restore your phone to factory state.
3. To Restore your phone from boot loops, Samsung Logo, Soft Brick - non-hardware related failures from bad flashes, borked partitions or mismatch voodoo partitions. (I suspect many users will use it for this purpose)
4. To Get GingerBread Boot Loaders and get rid the the rainbow color recoveries when you try to flash ICS/CM9/CM10/JB
Scenario #1: Oh, gosh! I would love to have the latest GB leak from AT&T! How to I do that? What in the world is Odin? Ain't it some mythological Norse deity?
Heimdall 1 click - done!
Scenario #2: I think I did something to my phone. It's not working right. My wifi is dropping like a leaky faucet. My Market is not working. I hate my phone! I wish it was like factory.
Heimdall 1 click - done!
Scenario #3: Oh crap! I just #@#% in my pants! I bricked my phone. OMG!!! I'm stuck on SAMSUNG logo! I'm boot looping! I lost recovery! Help me!!!
Heimdall 1 click - done.
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and (8.21.2012:edit for clarification), try flashing it again. Use a different USB port, use a different usb data cord.
7 Try flashing again until it is successful. Once it goes through correctly, flash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
I used Heimdall Frontend to create the Heimdall tar.gz.
I tested on my device several times to ensure functionality.
It works for me.
DOWNLOAD mode: Power off. Open back cover. Remove battery. Press and hold both volume buttons - (do not hold power button) Insert battery while holding volume buttons. Plug in USB cable.
It can also be achieved by open back cover, Remove battery. Press and hold both volume buttons. Plug in USB cable and then insert battery.
Disclaimer: I offer this package as my own work. I have tested on my device and it worked after I intentionally borked it several times. I am sharing it. I am not asking you to use it. Use it at your own risk.
Please don't blame me if some act of God cause your phone to go haywire when you try it.
If you can't get it to work, try a different USB Data cord, a different USB port, try a different PC or just rebooting your PC after driver installation.
Please avoid mirroring unless you have my permission before hand. Thanks.

Recovery Kernel
RECOVERY:
(6/4/2012 - READ POST #3 ALSO)
After you have flashed the UCLB3, some of you may want to have Red ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery to flash another ROM.
Put your phone back into DOWNLOAD mode after your phone has booted up.
Flash this package. It is Entropy512's DD kernel. It will boot your phone completely.
Once the phone has booted into stock ROM, use the three fingers technique to get into recovery.
When in CWM:
I recommend the following to get the cleanest flash that has not failed me.
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Advance: wipe dalvik cache.
4 Go back and into Mount and Storage: format system, format data, format cache.
5. Go back to main and flash your ROM.
Recovery Mode: Power off, hold both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. Samsung logo should come on. Let go only the power button, Keep holding the volumes buttons for 12-15 seconds and let go.

In essence, there are 2 cores. A16 and B14.
The A16 can be overclocked to 1600mhz.
The B14 can be overclocked to 1400mhz.
Both are custom kernels design to run Gingerbread on your Infuse. They have clockworkmod, cifs, MHL HDMI output and many other features.
Check out Zen Arcade's original thread.
How are these used?
1. If you have a stock GB UCLB3 and you want to root it, flash this in download mode. Nothing else is needed. After that, you can flash my root pack, HERE.
2. If you want to flash a custom ROM. After you have odin or heimdall a GB stock package with bootloaders, and you need CWM recovery, you can flash any one of these kernels and then boot into recovery and then flash your ROM. You don't need to root anything or 3e anything. Just flash the kernel, boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
**To eliminate any voodoo or no lagfix file system problem, I recommend that you locate on your SDCARD the /Voodoo folder or files and delete them. Then the kernel will auto convert your system to EXT4 VOODOO LAGFIX ON.**
I suspect many SOD's are caused by lagfix mismatch.
3. If you want to OC or UV your CPU/GPU, you can also use these kernels on whatever GB ROM you are running.

6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
