pls try this one.
Are you putting phone into download mode when using odin
First open Odin
Turn off phone...
Hold down both volume up and Down at same time. While holding them down plug in USB you will access download mode and Odin should see the phone
now make sure you downloaded that firmware i linked on that page with Odin and extract it after you download.
Then on Odin click on PDA and locate and select the file PDA_SOJU_GRH78_85442_SIGNED in the extracted folder. Once you do that just click start it will flash the stock firmware and will take like 10-20 secs and should be all set

I just bought this phone off of eBay, and I'm trying to root it. From what I read I have to install CWM recovery then flash a rooted stock 2.3.3. So I try to install cwm recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 but I am stuck at step 4 after I plug in the usb to my phone while holding the volume bottoms... nothing pops up, no window saying detects a new APX device.

Try this.. Your battery must be out. Double check in device manager that apx is not there. Sometimes it won't show an error or pop up Windows stating "apx device found". Also reboot your computer and try again. My computer for some reason doesn't recognize usb sometimes. Oh and use same usb port
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Thank you but I have tried that post also. Just can't get the apx error to pop up so I can browse the apx folder. I tried just connect my phone to the PC with the phone on but it just doesn't connect....I wonder if my phones usb port is messed up...it charges just fine though.

Try another one. Reboot both phone and computer. Try a different usb port. It should pick it up. Then continue with your steps. Try installing lg drivers. 1st

Ok, humor us for a sec (or maybe just me) open up your device manager, with battery out, proper button combo (power+both volume buttons?), phone plugged in and hit print screen on your computer keyboard, then open paint and hit paste. Save that as a JPEG and upload it here.

Weird... I am not seeing any LG drivers in your image? On my PC I have one LG driver under modem (this computer isn't set-up for flashing this phone, my laptop is)
I also used NVFlash (as One click wasn't working at that time due to having 2.3.4 from TMo) and I remembered that I had to install the LG updater tool first to get the latest drivers installed before I used NVFlasher and got everything to work.
I remember it was a real pain at the time due to having GB 2.3.4 from factory, I know you have 2.3.3 but try that step out as it might help.
so how would I use NVFlash to root my phone? If you could please explain the steps thank you

Wow...it's been so long...
I know I used the LG Updater tool to install the latest LG drivers on the computer
Then I DL'd and used the NVFlasher, following the directions for it (with out the drivers the computer won't see your phone, so you can't update/root it)
This is where it get fuzzy.. I'm sure this loaded CWM recovery on the phone, so all I had to do was boot into it and make a back-up recovery of the phone. Rebooted the phone as normal. Still had phone connected to PC.
From there I loaded the update.zip (of Eagle's Blood current file) to the mem card
Rebooted to recovery, wiped cache, etc.. as in the instructions. Updated zip from mem card. when done, rebooted. Went thru Googles setup. Rebooted again and phone was rooted.
I had all the treads subscribed on my old account, but I lost the log-in info and had to create a new one :-(
well this bring me back to being stuck at step 4 at the beginning of the post. when i try to install cwm via nvflasher my phone won't connect to the pc at all to install apx drivers
I am going to give you the complete situation so you guys can help with the best of your ability. Over the summer I was at my Grandmas house with my cousins and we were playing Minecraft on the iPod and iPad. I knew that they had it in the Android market and tried to get it. No luck because it was not compatible with my device (Motorola Fire XT 530). I read up on a tutorial to get any app in the store and that was to change the build.prop settings to nexus x or something so I could get it. I rooted my phone and tried it but it screwed up my keyboard and an error occured on screen. So I went into this program I had and completely deleted the file(build.prop, still have a back up though). I tried to turn on the phone but it was stuck in a boot loop . So it is still in the boot loop and I cant turn on my phone.
Things I have tried so far:
1. Plugging it into my computer (wont show up)
2. Clearing my memory and cache in recovery mode (still wont turn on)
3. ADB (wont show up, not even in recovery mode)
4. Using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920446 (Was able to get into the flash mode but MSM Flash 7227 wont install correctly for some reason (have updated drivers))
5. Cant use ODIN because my phone cant go into download mode
6. Using default recovery (not clockwork, dont think I can get it because I cant turn on phone) to update the file (didnt work because apparently Motorola locks there bootloader)
I dont think I left anything else out and am looking for a solution. I also have default recovery which may be an issue.
Thanks a lot for reading

First of all you cant use Odin to flash Motorola Devices because it is meant for Samsung phones.
Secondly answer these questions:
1. In PC which OS are you using?
2. Have you tried reinstalling RSD lite then rebooting?
Having stock recovery is no issue because you can't get any other in this phone.
It is easy to get it back working.
I suggest you to try some other PC.
OR
Follow these steps as in order.
1. Uninstall RSD lite.
2. Uninstall Motorola Drivers.
3. Now first install Motorola Drivers the RSD lite.
I think this may work for you.
I am using windows 7 on a laptop which may be the problem because it may be a hub not directly connected to the mother board. Thank you and I will try your suggestion.
Btw thanks for all your help over the last couple days.
I also used this on two other laptops but the MSM Flash still wont install for some unknown reason. So I dont think using RSD lite is the problem.
Here's the solution
I found the solution to your problem.
Download the attachment.
Extract it.
Copy the file in the extracted folder and paste it in C:/windows/system32/drivers
Reboot your PC
And yes you must connect it directly without any hub or something.
Actually these are the RSD lite drivers which I think your PC was unable to install correctly.
Okay I will try this when I get home from school. If this doesnt work could you try sending me the MSM Flash7227 driver?

So locate that to C:/windows/system32/drivers/the-file-i-gave-you
It will install its drivers.
OR
Alternate way is to install Motorola Software Update from here
It will install drivers automatically as it also needs phone to be switched in flash mode(i.e. through flash drivers) to update phone software.

This didnt work because to update drivers my computer has to recognize the phone which it cant. I would need the driver Flash MSM7227 for it to work. If you could find that EXACT file on your computer and send it to me that would be great. I tried the two things you stated but it says the phone is not connected so I cant download the updates.
This must be very frustrating for you but thanks for your help.
Sorry to say, but you kill boatloader of your phone. That mean msm7227 device.

Don't know about the problem.
Maybe 64-bit system.
And don't download moto update. Download and install only Moto software update "tool".
I sent you the same drivers. But I think the problem is my 32-bit system or your 64-bit.

Odin is safest and best.For odin you have 4 steps for flashing,and in Kies you have 12 unreasonable steps.

To fix this just follow these steps:
1. plug the tablet into your pc
2. open up device manager and delete the driver with the yellow triangle
3. re insert your usb cable and you tablet will pop up in odin!
I foud it out and it worked for me!
but if this did't work try it again until it works.

Hello all, so i have a problem. I have a completely stock samsung infuse 4g, running 2.3.6 gingerbread. I would like to root my phone and install a custom rom as i have done before on my last phone, the samsung captivate. I have been running into a problem that continues to annoy me... When i connect my phone to my pc via usb, i get the message on my phone telling me to choose the method i would like to connect, i choose mass storage as i would like to make a backup before i do anything, however, when i choose it, i get the green android logo with the button at the bottom that says "connect to pc". When i click it, the screen thats supposed to show up, shows up, the orange android, however, almost immediately it dissapears before i can even go to "My Computer" to look through the files, and this will happen every time i try it. This has happened since i first got the phone two years ago and has never fixed itself. I have tried multiple usb cables and multiple computers, all to no avail.

No but if you can boot in to download mode you can use this to flash the UCLB3 gingerbread 2.3.6 rooted with CWM recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523

Hello all, so i have a problem. I have a completely stock samsung infuse 4g, running 2.3.6 gingerbread. I would like to root my phone and install a custom rom as i have done before on my last phone, the samsung captivate. I have been running into a problem that continues to annoy me... When i connect my phone to my pc via usb, i get the message on my phone telling me to choose the method i would like to connect, i choose mass storage as i would like to make a backup before i do anything, however, when i choose it, i get the green android logo with the button at the bottom that says "connect to pc". When i click it, the screen thats supposed to show up, shows up, the orange android, however, almost immediately it dissapears before i can even go to "My Computer" to look through the files, and this will happen every time i try it. This has happened since i first got the phone two years ago and has never fixed itself. I have tried multiple usb cables and multiple computers, all to no avail. I'm not new to androids or rooting, but this is just blowing my mind, i cant figure it out. If you guys could help me out, i would greatly appreciate it.

This method is only going to let you see the internal SD memory . Its not a true backup of your system. Just the storage part. I would like to see a picture of the screen when it is green . This after you selected Mass storage. What version of windows. ? what USB driver for INFUSE are you using. Google account has backed up mostly everything. NOT the ROM. I will be flashing the i997ucb3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.rar Using the Odin Method. Let me know if I can help.

i am going to try the method that was suggested, using ODIN to flash everything, including the root. I just gotta see if i can ever get kies to recognize my phone....... once it can i'll begin the ODIN process, but i cant start it till i know if my computer can even communicate with it. and i am using all drivers as provided by the latest version of kies. Windows 7.
[EDIT] i keep getting an error when the drivers try to install, which prevents my computer from being able to recognize my phone.

Not trying to double post, but i have come to the conclusion that i cannot get this phone to connect to my computer ODIN cant find it, kies cant find it, nothing. and yes it is on the official samsung binary, official gingerbread, everything. I have restarted muy computer multiple times after deleting and re installing drivers, nothing works i dont get it. This is the only thing stopping me........

Hey there,
So I have a 6045Y (5.5), which I kinda bricked? Wanted to install MM on my phone via TWRP, didn't work. Oh, it also deleted my OS.
So I went ahead and tried to install "Project Material" (https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/6045-project-material-t3417757), well, didn't work too, "unable to unmount /system". I googled and found out that there's another twrp version that could do that. Then I tried to install the .img file via TWRP too, since I read that it should work. It didn't and now I can neither enter recovery nor Download mode, dba doesn't detect my device too, but my PC does make a sound when I connect and disconnect my phone and I see the battery, while charging the phone.
Any idea would be appreciated.
I'm dumb, I know, please don't be too hard on me!
Edit: The title could be missleading, I can still turn on my phone! I'm stuck at the Alcatel logo though.

Hmm, sadly my phone won't show up, even though I did install the drivers. What could be the problem?
Also, my PC detects my phone as a MTP USB Device.
