How to Flash a Custom Recovery on the Samsung Infuse 4G (AT&T)

  1. As the other commenter pointed out, Samsung Infuse is not an option in ROM Manager. Someone elsewhere said that selecting Samsung i9000 should work as well, but it does NOT. So, I guess this ROM Manager technique is no longer an option.
