My Samsung Infuse 4G can't flash anything!?

So, I have an Infuse 4G and I wanted to update it to either Jellybean or Kitkat.
I found tons of ROM that I wanted to try but I gotta install CWM first and here's the problem:
LITERALLY NOTHING WORKS.
CUSTOM KERNELS DOESN'T WORK.
ROM PACKAGES WITH CWM DOESN'T WORK.
MODIFIED 3E RECOVERY DOESN'T WORK.
SGS KERNEL FLASHER DOESN'T WORK

:crying::crying::crying:

ACTUALLY, EVEN ROMS DOESN'T WORK.
WHETHER STOCK ROM OR STOCK MODIFIED.

Here's the funny part: LITERALLY NOTHING WORKS EXCEPT UCLB3 and UXG3. :rolleyes:
(UCLB3 with PACKAGES DOESN'T WORK)

I tried other stock roms but no luck. :(
PLEASE HELP! BTW what I mean to say is... UCLB3 and UXKG3 are the only roms
THAT CAN PASS THROUGH THE SAMSUNG LOGO. :crying:

Hello, :)

What process did you follow for all these ROMs? Did you start with CM9 first (after installing CWM)?

I only had the Rogers version which I rooted through Odin image. That method should have work for you as well (choose option C), but if you are coming from froyo, root is all you can do at this point it seems.

What do u mean root is all I can do? Are u referring to not being able to unlock the boot loader?

If coming from Froyo, then you will have the Froyo bootloader, which is no good with CWM. You end up with this.

Apparently even Odin'ing a GB stock image doesn't change the bootloader. Worse, a GB bootloader is no longer available for download (link long dead).

Sorry.

Not sure. But I think so. As said before, I only ever had the Rogers one, and it was released with Gingerbread. So I never had to fight that struggle.

But if you have problems, you can always ODIN back to (rooted) stock.

i was wondering if your still interested in getting that Infuse loaded with KK, or if you were able to do something with it, i still have the files and could email them if need be.

getting the bootloader cracked on the infuse for me was a pain in the @$$ but once i got that done the rest was all as easy as pie

    I started from stock rom, fresh and clear.
    I can't install CWM in any method so of course I can't install anything.

    Did you try Gingerbread Stock (Option C) yet? That may be the only way to get CWM now. But, depending on your situation, you may need gto flash a newer bootloader as well, something I never thought to find in time for my mirror.

    I tried every option available. I can't find a Gingerbread bootloader though, all the links were dead.
