How can you place a Samsung ROM into a HTC phone ?!!?!!
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
Forgive the title, I need it to make it interesting to get some views. Now that's said, let me get to it.
I recently tried to flash MIUI onto my Samsung Infuse. I had Infused ROM v.2.2.3. I must have messed up because now I'm having trouble getting my phone to start. When I power on, it briefly shows the Samsung logo (for about 3 sec); then for split second an alternate screen flashes on my screen just before my phone shuts off. Now, I've tried to load CWM(red version) with the 2/3 button technique; however, I haven't been able to get into that GUI.
I have been able to get into the Download screen, for Odin. But, I was hoping there might be some sort of way to solve this problem without resetting my phone to stock.
Questions
1. Can I utilize the Download screen to re-implement or re-flash my ROMs on my phone; without loosing data
2. Is there a way that I can force my way into the CWM GUI?
3 If none of the above are possible, where can I get information Odin for the Infuse; and where can I download the program?
Thank you for reading, and thanks for the help in advance!

I wasn't going to reply to your thread but you caught me in a good mood. head over to the dev forum and you will find everything you need to get your phone back. That's all I'm goin to give you. the more you search and experiment the more you will learn
Already found somethings that are helping...
I didn't post for as a resource, just thought that if someone knew where to look they'd point me in the right place.
For anyone who might need a nudge; this link will direct you to complete recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
Did you follow the directions exactly as it says? Did you ever get into blue cwm and flash miui a second time?

I wouldn't recommend MIUI to anyone who isn't atleast a little experienced in flashing ROMs, and are sure won't panic if they find their system soft bricked.

My Htc sensation 4g is rooted and i have a Rom on it. I have been using it for a while now. But just recently i wanted a new ROM and i saw an ICS one. I read that i needed to update the firmware first before installing the ROM. I tried to install the firmware via H-BOOT but i dont think it worked and so i flashed the ROM and it wouldnt boot. I went back into recovery so i could restore to the previous ROM and it worked but one thing changed and that was on the H-BOOT and it said ****LOCKED****. Everything was fine until i tried to fix it and so i tried to fix it by downloading the firmware again and try to update it again. When i did this it seemed to update fine. Then i rebooted my phone as it prompted and then all of the suuden it turned off and i tried to turn it back on but it wouldnt work. It has not been able to turn on sense then. Even when i plug it up the charger it still doesnt do anything. PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!! Comment below with suggestions.

well,, sorry to say,
but that seems a brick.
make sure your battery is full
try to
pull battery - boot. if that doesnt work
pull battery - hold down volume down and power, if that doesnt work,
then its probebly bricked..
the only thing that can fix that is returning it to HTC
simply tell them you had a OTA and when it was done it wouldnt boot up again.
dont say it was rooted or you know the site XDA
dont say you had hacked software on it
Stock sidekick 4g rom its ok but i am having trouble with it. I am trying to fix it but not haveing any luck. The mods i have tryed do not take. i got rooted ok that was easy. The clockworkmod recvery on the other hand i can install it through recovery and it taks and can use it, but as soon as i reboot its gone win i go back to recovery. I tryed to change the boot screen and could not. i am lookin for pointers i am new at this. i will be posting here as i work with froyo the sidekick 4g
ok so i rooted a few weeks ago and downloaded the usual apps. super user titanium back up and clock work mod. tried to flash a rom with clock work mod and got the e:signature verification failure message. found a post for a kernal that made clock work mod actually work so i tried to flash a rom. zSimplyAOKPV5_Dark to be exact. now it sticks on boot screen. i have searched for hours and cannot find a way to fix my problem. its my first rooted android and first attempted rom flash and i botched it right off the rip. please help?
Depending on what you did beforehand, you have some options.
If you have backed everything up previously, just flash back to stock with one of the one-click stock roms in the Development section (they're in a sticky).
If you haven't backed everything up, try holding V+/V-/power until it reboots. If it doesn't take you to recovery, you can try to flash a kernel (most likely one that would match the version of android/rom you were running prior to this flash) and see if it lets you into recovery. You'll have to flash it with either Odin or Heimdall, after rebooting into download mode (power off, hold V+/V-, insert USB).
If that doesn't work, though, the stock flashing would probably be your best and/or only bet.
it wont allow me into recovery though i can get to download mode by pulling the battery and pressing just the volume +- and plugging in the usb. i was trying to flash an ics slim rom. thanks for your very speedy response.
i have now tried to flash a stock rom however it is not working from there even with the stock kernal. now it is hanging on the at&t screen.
ok i got it. seems the kernal i flashed to help cwd work properly was the culprit. now i dont know how im going to flash this ics rom im looking at without it.

Flash corn kernel if you have stock gingerbread
Sent from my SGH-I897
The utility in my signature can help you flash the Corn Kernel so that you will have CWM.
I have corn kernal and odin 3 on the computer at home. Ill do that tonight. Any suggestions on a good stable rom for a noob? Preferably ics. I hated posting for fear of being flamed as a noob. My wife keeps making fun of me for it so I kinda have to get it done. I want to fix hers also. Its a great little phone it just seem a bit buggy to me. Very laggy. Thanks for all the help.

Maybe start with a KK4 based rom such as Legend and then move up to ICS after that. I only say that because there is a bug in ICS that could render your internal SD unusable. It's rare, but when it happens you will not be happy.
Still unable to get corn kernal to flash. I've tried a few of your guys fixes but I'm gonna have to get some other updates to my computer first.
