UCLB3: New Gingerbread 2.3.6 Update for Infuse 4G

It seems every new day brings a new firmware leak for some Samsung phone or the other! The Samsung Infuse 4G has got a new unofficial Android 2.3.6 firmware, version UCLB3, just a few days after UCLB1 that leaked a few days ago. It seems to be faster than UCLB1 according to reports, so there’s all the reason you need to update your Infuse 4G to UCLB3.

As always, since this is an unofficial leak, problems are to be expected. Read on to find out how to flash this firmware on your phone.

Compatibility

Pre-Installation Requirements/Tips

  1. Backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you.

How To Install UCLB3 Firmware on Samsung Infuse 4G

  1. Download UCLB3 firmware.
    → Download Link | Filename: SGH-I997_I997UCLB3_UC_ATT.rar | Size: 172 MB
  2. Download Odin 1.7 from -> here
    Filename: Odin v1.7.exe
  3. Extract the downloaded file ‘SGH-I997_I997UCLB3_UC_ATT.rar’ to get these 2 files:
    1. I997UCLB3-Homebinary.tar.md5
    2. SS_DL.dll [not to be used]
  4. Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC.  Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
  5. Now, put the Infuse 4G in Download Mode — connect USB cable to PC, then connect the cable to the phone while pressing and holding the Volume Up and Down buttons.
  6. Open Odin (from step 2) — double-click the Odin3 v1.7.exe.
  7. Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message Added! ! under Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve proper drivers installed. See point 3 above under ‘pre-installation tips’.
  8. In Odin, click on PDA and select the file “I997UCLB3-Homebinary.tar.md5″ (from step 3.1).
  9. Important! On Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time check boxes are selected. Do not touch any other check box or tab or anything, except as was required in step 8 above.
  10. Double check everything said in step 8 and 9 above.
  11. Now, hit the START button to start the flashing procedure. When the flashing is complete, your phone will automatically reboot — and when you see the Samsung logo, you can safely unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of Odin.
    IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, or you get a FAIL message (with red background) in ODIN, do the following:

    Disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 6.

  12. When it has restarted, your Infuse 4G will be running the UCLB3 2.3.6 firmware. Check version in Settings -> About phone.

That’s it. The UCLB3 Android 2.3.6 firmware is now installed on your Infuse 4G. Share your thoughts and problems (if any) in the comments below and we’ll do our best to help you out.

  1. Yeah, I installed and did everything that it said to do, Now my phone just keeps redisplaying the ATT rethink possible screen, over and over, and it wont go back into the phone… great……

    1. UPDATE*** If you find yourself at the screen where your att logo keeps redisplaying over and over. Simply turn your phone off (by popping the battery) and holding the volume up and down buttons, and power. When the bootloader comes up, do a factory wipe, and when its done, the installation will start as normal, and your phone will be fine.

    What i am asking if for suggestions or a guide to return to the original (stock) firmware that i had (2.3.3)?
    Any help would be appriciated!!

  19. It worked fine but my wallpaper now long moves when I scroll from home screen to another

  20. Sorry I meant it no longer moves.

    1. Launcher settings might be causing this. Check them out. Which launcher (like, Go launcher, ADW, LauncherPro, etc.) are you using?
