OK, so I was in the process of trying to flash Infused V2 beta 3, and just downloaded the 3e recovery and put it in system/bin and rebooted and all was good, was trying to install CWM from ROM Manager. ROM Manager said it sucessfully installed CWM 2.5.0.1 or whatever the latest version is. I decided to try to reboot into recovery from within ROM Manager and now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo. What do I do?

hold the three button combo till it reboots and let go when you see samsung. (power and both volumes)
if that doesnt get you into recovery(3e blue recovery once here you reinstall packages twice) then hold three buttons again but let go when the screen goes black. if the phone doesnt boot it is in a semi brick situation . likely a premission problem or a corrupt recovery file.
odin may be needed to flash the phone.
a voodoo kernel like "defuse" may fix it as it will redirect the phone to cwm recovery not 3e (get the .tar file not the .zip file) it will do a voodoo conversion you will hear robot voices and it may take 10min so dont jump to conclusions.
if the kernel doesnt work then flash the unbrick package.
Well I just used odin to get me back. Thanks.
Ok now I have another problem. I just noticed that every time I reboot the phone, Handcent SMS basically reinstalls itself or something. Any setting or theme changes I make don't stick when rebooted. Any ideas? Man I'm angry. All I want is to flash Infused V2 Beta 3!
EDIT: and Tango does the same thing. I'm sure others will do it too, just havent reinstalled everything yet

FYI, I'm trying a factory reset right now
Factory reset got me back to... well... factory unfortunately

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...!

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.

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:
I can't flash anything because when I go to my recovery menu I'm getting rainbows. I'm thinking this is due to the kernel that is flashed with infused v2.0.0. I just downloaded root tools and was going to use the pulldown editor, but when it said not to use on anything other than a Verizon phone, I accidentally hit the ignore button I guess? So I rebooted my phone and nothing was happening, so I pulled the battery and booted into red CWM and reflashed the serendipity rom. I rebooted out of red CWM and phone did not boot, so I went back to red CWM and flashed another rom I had, infused v2.0.0. My phone still did not boot, so I flashed the backup, update.zip and when it finished, I had green CWM, not red anymore. So just to try and get my phone working again, I flashed infused again, and this time it booted, along with the rainbows, as noted in the changelog with infused v2.0.0. So since I knew I could boot now, I rebooted into recovery to flash serendipity again, but the menu is just a rainbow, like on boot. I can navigate the CWM but I can't see anything, and the only reason I know is because I hit the power button, and I rebooted, and the first option in recovery is reboot. I wanna know if there is anyway to replace the kernel so I can see my CWM? or a way to flash serendipity with odin, because the kernel included with that contains no rainbows. Thanks in advance.

holy textwall, I can barely read what you typed...
Looks like you flashed an ancient version of Infused (2.0.0 beta - 2.0.0 final fixed the rainbows).
Odin or Heimdall can flash a fixed kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240136 covers how for Heimdall, I'm less familiar with Odin. Watch out, I've heard that Heimdall and Odin can interfere with each other if installed at the same time on Windows.
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.

I updated to newest CWM via Rom Manager. Went into recovery to make a back up and try a new mod to flash. After installing I hit reboot system now and it goes right back into recovery. I even pulled battery then hit power button and it takes me right back into recovery. I also restored a back up and still the same thing. Should I try to go back to the older version of recovery? Any help would be appreciated!
Now when its off and I plug it in it doesnt charge or anything it just vibrates over and over
same thing here/
you have a zip file of the older cwm version?

i just ran into the exact same issue as the OP. i pulled the battery, booted into DL mode, volume- (Cancel), and it booted up into my ROM. i wonder if CWM is the issue?
Yes the new update must have something to do with it.
same thing happened to me today. I keep an older copy on my laptop though and just reverted to an older version using odin.
Same happened here. Was mega pissed until I found the odin fix.
What's weirder is I factory reset, formatted everything but the kitchen sink, and upon the reboot after odin, all user data was intact.
looks like this CWM update is messed up, reverting.
CMW 6.0.2.9 is broken, I think. I'm stuck in CWM reboot.
Rom Manager pulled it. If u need to revert back .8 is listed as latest. You can go back thru there.
Yep, reverted to 6.0.2.8 and restored from my Nandroid. Whew!
And yes, I used the boot to Odin and select Cancel method to get out of Recovery bootloop.
Same here. Updated to 6.0.2.9 and got stuck in recovery mode. The only way out was go to ODIN and cancel. This was bad update from clockwork team
