I first got problems when I put on Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM. I then restored it to FROYO. Then i wanted to put on Infused v2.2.3 by gtg465x (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088) again but i then realized as i was installing zip from recovery i didn't have enough memory on my phone so it boot loaded. I used odin3 and tried to restore my phone back to original firmware and tried the odin3s listed on xda and all them arnt working on my phone correctly. It boots up and after the boot-screen the screen goes back and the buttons light up. I have been able to get it to recovery but I tried restoring it and installing zips and the same thing has happened. I dont know what to do and how to fix this problem. Can someone please help me fix this problem?
Use gtg's back to stock.

Odin3 v1.70
the check marked boxes are Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, and F. Reset Time.
I have been getting the same problem every time I flash original stock rom on my phone.

If you aren't using a pit file make sure the repartition box is unchecked
you also might want to try a newer version of odin

Even though you are trying to flash back to stock, you should still have the update.zip for clockwork recovery on your internal sd card.... Try going into recovery, find "format system" do that then go to "reboot to download" then try flashing a rom with odin again.... Seems like you have some corruption of system files, formatting system has worked for me when I think I've really f'd up....

I just used Odin v1.81 and yes it had a pit. I tried it again and still same problem. I also just formatted my system threw recovery and put gtg465x stock ROM back on and still same problem. The buttons light up. They dont thing when I press them.

Put your phone into download mode and Use gtgs ultimate unbrick. Make sure you use all the included files (pit, phone and pda).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
Once you do that do factory reset from INSIDE the settings page in the ROM, not from recovery. After this you can re-root, install mod3e and cwm, and install custom rom again.

I just ran "[ODIN][UCKD5] GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - Working PIT included" and the same thing happened. Screen just goes black. I cant get in the settings to do factory reset.
Try this. Flash UCKH1 leak which is froyo, it contains a bootloader update. Report back and let us know if the phone boots.

you can factory reset with "odin one-click". this is not available for the infuse but has been leaked for he captivate and maybe other phones. if you use the captivate oneclick odin you can use the "master clear" function when the phone is on, not in download mode. DO NOT ATEMPT TO FLASH WITH ONE CLICK ODIN. ONLY USE THE MASTER CLEAR FUNCTION.

yeah the Rom needs to be somewhat functional for that to work I guess. have you tried using heimdall to flash the unbrick instead? what operating system are you on? are you an administrator?

its an open source alternative to odin. search Google. I prefer heimdall 1.1. the ui is self explainitory. 1.3 is more flexible and has the option to use heimdall specific packages with partition information and device compatibility checking.
you will need to extract the .tar from the unbrick. 7zip is good for that.
read the website for other needed software. it needs Samsung drivers and I think it needs .net framework 4 and something else. not sure. I don't use it in windows. I use it in linux
heimdall doesn't let you repartition without bootloaders for safety reasons. you might have better luck in odin with repartition selected. but heimdall is something else to try and isn't as spastic.
oh is win7 32bit or 64. 32bit version is more cooperative with Samsung drivers.
Hi I had odin stuck at setup connection... it was like a few mins so I unplugged then I tried to get into download mode but it said something about kies so i flashed hemidall one click and now im back to stock just wondering why it happened? I don't wanna attempt again without knowing the problem, I had all the files (4) all loaded into odin properly in the right locations why???
i was so scared i thought i bricked my new phone!!
It happened because odin is very finicky... The good thing is long as you're comfortable with the one clicks you can do anything you were attempting with odin

That seems like a very round about way... Just one click bhud's package with cwm, reboot into recovery, factory reset/wipe/format everything (expect sd card), flash vb-final (per OP), (after the 10 min. soak in) flash lightning

Do a search for the guide on Heimdall that bassmanjames wrote. It is thoroughly written. Or try again with ODIN.
FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
Hello Everyone,
Problem: Infuse will boot up and you see the ATT screen then 2 seconds later it sits on the SAMSUNG screen.
I have tried just about everything posted. I even tried the Infuse unbrick Odin pkg.
I CAN get into download mode. I can flash with ODIN. But upon reboot the phone goes back to the SAMSUNG screen.
How did I get here?
I had was running ZEUS. I had the issue with ppl not hearing me unless I turned speakerphone on and off for every call. I did a master reset. I had an issue with something else so I tried using a CWM flashable file which caused the problems needing the master reset.
I have tried many things but I am stuck.
I am trying to get an ODIN kernel that is moded like the V8 community kernel BUT all the links are broken.

Dude.. if you can't figure this out with those links that I posted, then I don't think that I can help you.. I can somehow manage to odin myself and bring myself back to a rom with those files and the respective rom. And I know that there are other people that can too... good luck bro.. I'm done..

I can only use ODIN files because I can ONLY get into download mode. I can NOT get into recovery to use any CWM files.
I have been trying to find ODIN kernel files but the ones available the download links are broken and I pm'd the OP as well as others that need the files but still no luck yet.
Can someone please post an ODIN kernel for me to try.
Edit:
Just to be clear I have now flashed the Unbrick ROM several times. It will load up and install. I get a green pass in ODIN but on reboot I see the ATT screen then stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have started to flash odin kernels from my captivate and tablet. They do get past the ATT screen and no Samsung screen but all I see is grainy stuff all over SO that tells me that changes are being made. I just need to try with an INFUSE ODIN kernel that might convert to ext4. I think that will solve the problem.
btw- thanks for the help...I am just ticked trying to get my phone to work.
I just need one damn file or small command to wipe the phone so it will take the stuff we are trying to push.
FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
I went through the same thing about a month ago on mine... I eventually found the same file you did... it was a pain and since then if I've bricked I've flashed ultimate unbrick then flashed stock Rogers and it resolves my issue... I keep both saved on my computer now

Follow the easy steps.
This will bring to how you bought the phone.
SECOND to all with BLACK screens.
Turn off the phone using power and volume up and down.
While plugging in the phone to the USB. Release power button.
This may take multiple tried, but you will get the download screen eventually.
Its all about timing.
YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BE BRICKED.
The down loader is not on the internal memory,
it is on a FLASH ROM separate from everything else.

People need to remember that not everyone is using AT&T Infuse, gotta clarify that before posting guides.
And yeah keep the stock rogers rooted rom on your desktop, comes in handy for a quick return to stock if anything goes wrong.
Hello, I am a long-time viewer of xda but a new member, this is my first post.
(and yes, i looked for a similar theard. i could not find one.)
So, onto the problem.
I flashed Infinitum 1.1.1 to my Infuse using cwm recovery. I noticed problems right off the bat when after i had installed the zip, i rebooted into recovery then it got stuck on the samsung logo and i had to pull the battery (a normal event when flashing this rom) So when i pulled the battery and booted into recovery to try again, the cwm recovery was terribly screwed up. The top half of the screen was pixelated, and the navigation menu was off center. I was still able to use cwm to flash the rom successfully, But cwm remains srewed up.
So i tried to reflash cwm recovery using rom manager. but when i rebooted i was stuck in a recovery boot-loop that i had to get out of using odin.
I then flashed the rom again using the same procedure suggested by its developer, and it worked, but cwm is still acting as it was before. (the pixelated top half of the screen and the off center navigation menu. )
So can i get some help? i thought about removing cwm the using some other recovery. I also heard that cwm wont work on ics, but im unsure what it is.
Thanks in advance.
You don't have Gingerbread bootloaders. That's why recovery looks the way it does.
You need to Odin or Heimdall back to Gingerbread stock (I find Heimdall much easier for this) and then flash Entropy's DD kernel to get back into red recovery to flash Infinitum.

Have you tried flashing boot loaders?
Here is how to do it...
1) Download uclb3 heimdal by qckster
2) open the program
3) put phone in download mode
4) click flash (leave program open when finished DO NOT CLOSE)
5) after it finishes and your phone reboots, put the phone back in download mode and reconnect to PC
6) click flash bootloader on the heimdal program you left running
7) flash, let reboot and your problems should be gone
Download mode instructions
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up + down
4) connect phone to PC with USB cable *don't let go of volume*
Just because you were on gingerbread previously does nit mean you have ginger bread boot loaders...I had ginger bread since the first leaks and did not have boot loaders until a month or two ago when I flashed them using those steps above...

Thank you for posting the guide. I literally just got done flashing GB bootloaders to my Infuse because of the rainbow Recovery when I'm on ICS. I used Odin though and used GB loader that a member posted in the AOKP Uniporn thread. I was scared but there really isn't anything to be afraid of. I tried using Heimdall but dang that was nerve racking because I was trying to use it on Mac and it wouldn't let me do the flash.

Good deal, glad you got it sorted out. And to clear up some confusion that is in this thread: you don't have to flash an entire Gingerbread rom to get the bootloaders. We all have our preferred ways of doing it, but you CAN flash just the bootloaders.
Here is both a Heimdall and an Odin way to get JUST the bootloaders. That's all that is necessary for someone who has rainbow distortion issues on an ICS or Gingerbread rom.:
See the third post (HERE) in Entropy512's Unofficial CM9 thread for instructions on how to flash just the bootloaders using the Heimdall command line. Or, see the answer to question 1.) in the FAQ of the rooted UCLB3 Odin thread which is HERE.

Heimdall is one way to get the bootloaders, and here's how I did it.:
heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin
The second part of your statement isn't true. Odin doesn't do it only when the user can't figure out how to use Odin.
thank you everyone.
Being a creature of habit i ended up flashing to rom and bootloaders using odin. that did indeed fix CWM right up.

Hi folks...
I am trying to help a friend that owns this phone. I recently rooted it for him and all was well until one day he said that the phone died and when he rebooted the phone would force close EVERYTHING, rendering the phone unusable. Here's what I have done thus far:
via odin... i have tried everything in the "how to fix your phone" post all with the same result of the phone booting to setup force closing everything.
so i got the idea to try and get cwm installed and try a custom rom (tweaked v2.2). Initially, after I installed it, the phone bootlooped. So i found the post with the stock fp1 kernel (which is the kernel with the rom if i'm not mistaken) and flashed it. The phone booted... still forces closing everything.
I am stuck now... Not bricked by any means, but this force close issue is going to be the bain of my existence:crying:. If anyone has experienced this and managed to get the phone working normally again, please help.
I am pretty good with everything on samsung phones except ADB... if the fix involves that just make the instructions idiot proof...
THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE!!!

QUESTION...should i be checking the repartition, efs clear, of boot update boxes when using the pst program, or do i just keep trying to flash and re-flash until the problem goes away?

If you are flashing with the pit Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time and PDA should be the only things checked. If you are not flashing with the pit then Re-Partition should be unchecked
Thanks Paul, i was using the samsungPST program, so i will give the repartition option a try within that program.
Maybe you are using the wrong version of odin. 1.83 or 1.85 are the only versions you should be using
been using 1.85, will try 1.83...
When using PST check only the PIT. EFS Clear and Boot Update will break the phone even more.

what kernel are you running?
Whatever kernel that comes with the stock rom, that is unless it stays with whatever was last flashed kernel wise. If that's the case, it's stock fp1

Reading through this I haven't seen any mention of taking the OTA updates. After flashing EP4D with Pit did you allow the 2 over the air updates from Verizon? This needs to be done before flashing Tweaked. Then when you flash Tweaked I suggest using the Odin version "Tweaked with CWM". That worked out perfectly for me.
Update: Also did you check the MD5 Checksum of the EP4 file you downloaded. That's pretty much mandatory since bad downloads do sometimes happen.

I will double check all of these things... only problem, the phone is force closing setup right after odin, rendering it completely unusable. i will double check the md5 to make sure things are good and will get back to this...

You don't need to use recovery at all. Odin EP4 then take the two OTA updates then odin Tweaked 3.0 w/ CWM. It's in the OP. I did setup Google Backup on EP4 before I took the OTA's. I never use VZW Backup.
