[wheeliesandstuff]

Need some help I cant get this to work on either route. It gives me my phone serial number and goes through the process of pushing everything but when I type in the /data/local/Gingerbreak it says not found. Any solutions

Change the b in Gingerbreak to B = GingerBreak

From what I've seen so far (I'm a newbie myself), people here are happy to help... and won't be rude or condescending unless you take that tone first. Welcome!

Mkay so it seems that everything has been done automatically, I didn't have to perform any commands, just enter y a few times.

not possible, you are not rooted if thats the case. pull the battery and try again

A tip would be to use one of those reserved sections for how to unroot your device, unless it's the same as uninstalling apps once rooted.

I have rooted successfully using Windows 7. Now how do I uninstall the AT&T apps?

Couple strategies, outlined here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/samsung-infuse/85319-bloatware-removal-infuse.html

Can delete the apps or "freeze" them (using Bloatware Freeze or Titanium Backup).

Good luck.

Does anyone know how to master reset the samsung infuse? Need to bring it back to factory settings. After I rooted it, me swype stopped working. Also can someone send me the build.prop file default settings?

I reset my phone under settings and privacy but that didn't do a complete reset.

like i said ill work on an unroot , but root itself should not effect swype whatsoever

How to Unroot

AWESOME!!!

Bookmarked the permalink for these instructions - thank you!

Question: I ended up using SuperOneClick to unroot (not either of the methods you posted above). Would your unrooting method posted here work for me? Or I would have to use a different method because I used SuperOneClick to root?
