I'm a noob and I tried to install 3e recovery using the instructions and video supplied in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105413
Everything seemed to work fine until I went into ROM manager and tried to backup current ROM (stock, rooted). I selected backup ROM and now my phone is sitting with the SAMSUNG logo and it hasn't moved from that in almost an hour. I'm not sure what to do to get the phone to boot up normally. I have done a battery pull but that didn't work. When I plug the phone into my computer, XP does recognize that is plugged in because it shows the internal and external sd cards in the My Computer window. I can't open either on by double clicking on the icon for each drive. I'm getting pretty desperate because I can't seem to figure out how to get the phone to boot normally. Any help and/or suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!!!
Odin flash to stock in dev section
try a hard reset. you shouldnt pull batteries unless it is the last resort, linux needs to unmount the file system.
a hard reset(different from a factory reset) is accomplished by holding the vol up +vol dn + power at the same time untill the phone reboots. if you wait till the samsung screen pops up again and immediately release you may also enter 3e recovery mode.
try to just boot the phone into the ui first. if it is still ok, go into rom manager and "flash cwm recovery" choose captivate or i9000. reboot into 3e recovery(blue text), (select reboot recovery not backup) reinstall packages twice! you should now be at a green text cwm recovery. once you get it setup the backup link in rom manager should work.
if the phone fails to boot up after a hard reset, you can attemp to clear user data in 3e recovery. you can get to 3e with phone off(you may pull battery now if you need to) hold vol up+ vol dn + pwr and hold untill you see the "samsung" screen. then you can clear data/factory reset
if that doesn't help you can still use odin/heimdall to restore the phone with one of the roms that may already have modded 3e recovery and other nice features.
Thanks for all your help! I managed to get it back working using Odin. Now I'm on the Infused ROM and loving life. I'm going to save this post just in case I get into trouble again down the road.

So u should use gtgs ultimate unbrick then follow this.
1: Root using super one click
2: Download 3e recovery save it to your SD card
3: Use root explorer to move the 3e recovery file to systim bin overwrite recovery file
4: Reboot phone
5: Download Rom manager and click flash clock work mod pic i9000 not the (mtd)
6: Once its done select reboot in recovery
7: In recovery click RE-INSTALL it should load then click re-install again and u should get green cwm then reboot and flash away

This is an old useless method... just Odin flash the community kernel v8... done..

I have had that same boot screen problem too, buy a jig and u can put it into download mode that way then when you use odin3 to restore stock, u can get the stock rom with the recovery in it for u and u just need to download the update.zip on rom manager and then go into recovery and run the update zip twice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
You should get a jig (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...dkw=jig&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) its a life saver in my opinion. because u can restore ur phone if u ever mess up.
I too am stuck at the Samsung logo. I've used Odin to revert to stock but I think the Stock I reverted to was AT&T rather than Rogers? I can't seem to find the Rogers stock. I've tried to get it into recovery mode, taking out the battery booting with power up and down, releasing power when the Samsung logo came up - no good, the logo stays. I'm at a loss? Any advice? Is the a full raft of pit / pda etc files for Odin that I can make the Rogers Infuse as it was day one?
Thanks for any help
I'm in the same boat... maybe it's because the rogers infuse comes as android 2.3? I hope a solution comes out soon!
Same here, Rogers Infuse. Stuck at Samsung logo. Tried infuse odin recovery, and community. Still no go. I tried flashing all the different stock/unbrick roms but nothing.
However, if I install Infused kernel/recovery, i can access the recovery and do a wipe/lagfix.
I was trying to flash to Infused and when I got to the step where the phone rebooted to CWM recovery it hang on the Samsung logo. After about 3 hours of trying various button resets the phone booted normally (ie not to CWM). They say the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results, well I went back through the same steps to flash to infused and again it froze on the Samsung logo, only I have no idea what I did last time to get it to boot normal, not to CWM. Since it did it before, there must be a combination...anybody know what it might be. I've read and tried everything on the forums. Thought I'd post here prior to using Odin. I am able to get to downloading screen by doing the button/USB cable combo.
I'm headed out of town and won't check this right away, but thanks for any posts with ideas.

Rogers Infuse users need to use the UXKG3 unbrick, not the UCKD5 or E3 unbricks.
The UXKG3 variant tends to fall to the second or third pages of the dev forum since it's far less commonly used.
Holy Crap - im hooped without my phone for work...!
reposting in new thread
Hi guys,
Here is the solution for this issue.
Just flash with this package that will totally reset your Infuse 4G to UCKJ4, do it with linux that worked for me.
Thanks to AdamOutler

The few last posts have mirrors. You are gonna need the odin pack to flash back to stock and then work your way up.
You need to flash ICS before flashing JB.
Infuse 4G wont boot - no root, CWM, Passcode locked
Hi guys
I dont know where to start from. This Infuse 4G was dropped by the owner and we happened to come across it.
Checked the SIM card but that was already deactivated and there were no contacts on it.
Then we wanted to check the phonebook and find someone to contact, but the phone was passcode locked.
Then i went and flashed Odin_Community_Kernel_v8.zip since it was on GB, but it doesnt seem to be booting. I was planning on adb-ing into it when it was in recovery (CWM) so that i could delete the passcode and find a way to get in touch with the owner.
Now am stuck at the Samsung logo...:crying:
Hi
I've tried a few custom ROM on my nexus. But today I was thinking to downgrade my phone to a Stock ROM, Stock-GRH55-Unsigned. So I downloaded the zip-file and upload it to the sdcard and then I run Clockworkmod -> install zip from sdcard and choose Stock-GRH55-Unsigned.zip.
The install of the Stock ROM looked fine so I rebooted my phone and after that is the phone dead .
When I press the on/off-button the phone vibrates and the home and search button lights up and after a while they go out and the two other buttons start to slowly blink.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve my problem or is my phone dead?

If you can get into the bootloader (volume up + power) then you can try and get into CWM (doubt it will still be intact). From CWM you can wipe and try flashing something else. If you can't get into CWM, you can reflash the recovery image from the bootloader using fastboot.
If you can't do any of the above, then start looking into Odin. I have no experience in Odin though, so can't help you there. Good luck!
I've followed the instructions and the videos...I cannot get my Infuse to allow me to install a new ROM. I had a Captivate previously and flashed frequently. Tried to resist rooting & flashing but finally ran out of patience waiting for AT&T.
So I have root. I've copied the recovery file from the SDCard to the /system/bin...made sure the permissions were all copied from the original recovery. I reboot into recovery and re-install packages.
I then downloaded ROMManager and installed. Reboot into Recovery (3e) and re-install packages which then brings me to the green font CWM. If I choose to install zip from SD I don't specifically see any errors on the screen, but I end up getting brought back to 3e reboot...which never goes anywhere.
I haven't been able to find much help on this searching...I can't be the only one having this issue.
Flash community kernel through Odin and you'll have fully working recovery...flash...wait til it starts to boot....pull battery...replace batt ...hold vol up, vol down and power til Samsung logo appears and let go and it will boot into red CWM then your good to flash away

Hey,
I've recently had a friend of mine give me his phone to look at.
It's a Samsung I5801
I tried installing numerous ROM's onto this such as stock froyo and kyrillos 9.
Whenever i install through Odin i get to the stage where the data needs to be wiped through clockwork. Pretty straight forward, however when the phone is rebooted after this Odin does not detect the phone and will boot into recovery again.
Any ideas? I'm not much of a samsung kinda guy woking with htc all my life lol.
Solved.
Flashing a stock ROM, with bootloader in tact did the job. Had to say was sweating a bit as many were saying it could hard brick phone... Used European JPA.
Flash through ODIN i pray to god no one else has this problem
Wipe using Recovery
Just go in recovery mode and Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache.
Problem solved........
I have hard bricked my galaxy 3
I installed ClockworkMod recovery and selected to install ROM from SD card
my phone restarted and booted in samsung,s recovery mode
I selected wipe data and nothing happened for next in 2-3 mins,
So I removed battery and rebooted phone which again booted in samsung,s recovery mode for number of trials.
Then I renamed Rom Filr name to update.zip and moved it to root of SD
and rebooted in recovery and selected option Install update.zip which after some time started executing.
Phone rebooted and now it doesn't show anything else than samsung boot logo.
please help me out.
UPDATE:
Download mode and Upload mode are working but Boot menu is not working.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
I was running Alliance rom and decided I wanted to try a couple different roms. I had previously installed Philz touch recovery 6.48.4 and had no issues with it. So I went into recovery and did the 'clean to install new rom' option and then I installed the Beanstalk 4.4.285 rom and checked it out and then was going to wipe it and try out Paranoid Android 4.45 so I rebooted to recovery again using the script in Rom Toolbox which is how I had been rebooting in to recovery since having installed Philz Touch because it's just simpler than holding the hardware keys. I had never tried booting in to Philz recovery using hardware keys. So anyways once in recovery again I once again do the 'clean to install new rom' option and then I went to flash Paranoid Android and I get a message about (can't remember exactly what it said) root being lost and was asked If I want to (again not sure exactly what it said) push su back to system/xbin and I said yes at which point the phone rebooted and now I can not reenter Philz recovery. I have tried numerous key combos including V+,home, power ; V+,power : V-,Power : V-,home,power ; V-,V+,power, V-,V+,home,power and nothing. It just boots to the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen and sits there. When I tried the V-,Home,power combo I get a screen that reads something like "Warning a custom os can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS press the volume up key...." I think that is download mode but not sure. How can I get back in to Philz and or regain root if lost and reflash back to Alliance? Hope I didn't brick it.

I've used philz but only on my tablet. I prefer using terminal emulator to reboot if I need to. And the last part yes that is download mode. You can always try Odin

I figured it out. I feel stupid though. I was really freaking out hoping I didn't brick my phone, couldn't you just hear the panic in my post. The first key combo I used to boot recovery was correct I just wasn't doing it right. I was pressing V+,home,power and waiting for the samsung logo before letting go and that's why it wasn't working. But I found out the correct method is to hold down V+ and home then hold down power also and wait for the phone to vibarate then let go of the power button but continue to hold down V+ and home until recovery boots.
I was about ready to try reflashing recovery via odin but I was a bit concerned about a few things when it comes to that. If I do need to use odin in the future is there a specific version I should use for the S3. I downloaded Odin3 v3.07 and also have 1.85. I know your phone needs to be in download mode to use it, so now I know how to boot to download mode at least. My bootloader is unlocked and I was wondering if using odin would lock it or affect that in anyway or have any other type of ill effect on my phone?

No Odin has nothing to do with the bootloader.
