[Q] Restoring factory ROM on infuse - Samsung Infuse 4G

Can someone point me in the right direction on getting the steps to restore the factory ROM on my infuse? I succesfully installed infuse v1.5 but I forgot to back up my factory rom before i did it. I know gingerbread is going to be released soon, so I looking to switch back to get the upgrade from AT&T.
any help would be great, thanks

GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock
Can someone tell me if I return my phone to factory settings (cause I want to return it) after flashing infused ROM on it, will the company suspect anything? Crazy parents don't know anything about phones anyway

you can just use GTG's unbrick thread. Reboot into download and Odin it back to stock with the files he provides.

update fails
okay, so I used GTG's Ultimate Unbrick to restore. It totally worked! Now i am having an issue with the update. The phone will not update. Is there a way to fix this? the update will download, and when it reboots and starts to update, it will get to 25% and a message "update failed"

Same thing is happening to me. I even did a factory reset and still wont update.

Download this and flash it with Odin.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/fb/roms/custom_kc1_cwm/csc.tar.md5
You might need to re-convert to ext4 afterward.
EDIT
It goes on the CSC section by the way.
Can't Odin without a PC.lol

I should've read the whole post. It appears that he's on gingerbread though, so the modified recovery file won't work. He'll have to wait till he gets on a pc. :/
What FBi said. Ughhh if only the cwm didnt get erased. Do you know the cause of this problem or is it just random...?
P.S. Currently running stock KF2 deodex. Rooted. :/. Ahaha. I was on kh2 but somehow it went back to kf2..
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Only way it could've gone back to KF2 would be that you flashed it. The thing is that a lot of people reported having more trouble with the earlier GB builds, I'd stick with anything past KG6, so KG6, KH1 OR KH2 for now since that'll get rid of a lot of your problems.
If you do wanna stick with KF2, you'll have to flash the CSC file from KC1 through Odin, then do a factory reset. That should fix the disappearing apps problem. (Raver figured that one out).
u can factory reset from the phone if you can get into blue recovery also do factory reset and wipe cache then do it again from in the phone itself...
that should fix it..
@fbi. The thing is. I was running kh2 then after the 3days, it suddenly changed back to kf2?. idontevenknowhow. I did not flash anything or even touch my phone at all during the 3 days... And i cant get in blue recovery. Even with quickboot. . gotta wait till i can get to a pc.

P.s neone know how I can fix the force close when I go to manage apps ->all

No Luck Upgrading to official GB

I've had absolutely no luck upgrading from KD1 to offiical GB.
I started off with the official KD1 (from Kies) that I have been running for months.
The only mods are root and CWM.Kies downloads the GB update (taking several minutes) then immediately comes up with the screen saying my phone could not be updated. It leaves the phone in download mode.
If I reboot I'm back to where I was.
Taking a suggestion in another thread, I cleared data and cache, and tried again.
Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd another KD1 on top of my original. Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd a KC1 on top hoping that Kies would upgrade me to official KD1 or GB. However, Kies took one look and said there was no upgrade.
I've Odin'd back to KD1, so after a lot of work I'm back to where I started.
Any ideas?

Stupid question,
Can I flash Raver's ROM directly from Bionix Frost or do I need to go back to a KD1 ROM?

First you would need gingerbread bootloaders if you have them then flash away, if not you will need to odin kg4 for the bootloaders then drhonks kernel for root then flash kj6 from cwm.

I probably will, but I also would like to find out why I can't Kies the stock GB Rom. Obviously Kies doesn't like something it sees on the phone.
There is another issue I'm fighting at the same time. Until now I didn't have a data plan and just used wifi for data. I just got a data plan and haven't been able to get the phone to use it (just voice/text). I want to put the phone into a completely stock condition to try and eliminate variables, and possibly get T-mobile to help. I also feel that what ever Kies doesn't like might be a factor with the cell data issue.
Kies is potentially bad news for your phone if you've been on a custom ROM. If it doesn't work smoothly on the first try don't try and force it. What inevitably happens is that in a sudden rush to get it to work you start flashing one ROM after another (something you wouldn't normally do) and end up issues. There have been a bunch of posts about losing recovery and download modes as people start trying to flash back to froyo from GB. A buddy of mine just jacked his phone up so bad doing this...no recovery, no download, couldn't get it to adb boot on his Linux box. I finally got it into download mode with an adb/odin circus trick, hail Mary, and odined ravers hawk.zip to clean everything up. There is no way i want to go through that again, and there is no real logic in the way we fixed it, but it all started with a bad flash from kies. To any one reading this, USE THE CWM FLASHABLE THAT RAVER MADE IN THE DEV FORUM, take advantage of their knowledge and hard work and save yourself (and your sgs4g) some heartache.

Thanks! This Odin rom worked for me. The earlier suggested recovery flash rom just got me into a booting loop.

I would use ODIN to reinstall Dr Honks KJ1. it will give you CWM and You should be OK. It might have just been a fluke on install the first time
Still no wifi "f.m.l"!!!
Everything works accept wifi reinstalled kj1 kernel frs, wiped down phone completley even used odin again to reinstall 2.3.6 official from ravers post and nothing ive done everything 2 or 3 times the sameway even tried different usb slot i used odin 1.85 i just dont get it anyone else got this problem
As ignorant as this sounds, I had the same problem once. I rebooted my wireless router & it started working again.

Is there security on the router? If so, what happens if you take it off (temporarily)?

[Q] Home hardkey not working after OTA update

I do not want to restore if possible. I did OTA update to my wife's stock rooted phone last night and now the home key does not work. Back key is only way to home screen. It vibrates when pressed but no action. She is already pissed about her tethering being disabled again. Any suggestions appreciated. I really don't want to have to tell her I have to restore. She didn't want the update in the first place.
Sounds to me like a fxz flash is the best option.
Flash back to 2.3.5 and root.
Flash one of our handy ROM'S that are currently available.
Get your teathering via sqlite.
Then your set!
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Thanks. I already had her talked into it. Think I figured out possible problem. I remember she uninstalled ONE of the original at&t apps. Update said completed but I think may have corrupted something. She had a lot of FC today, definitely major issue. Back to stock we go!
Hmm. I don't think it should have ever updated over the air with some of the att bloatware missing.
Atleast it didn't for me.
Well, it sounds like your on your way!
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
If you haven't flashed yet, you can boot into Recovery from the Atrix 2 Bootstrap and make a Nandroid backup, then after you flash to stock and update to 2.3.6 and root you can "Advanced Restore" the "data" part of the backup to keep your apps and settings.

help

so im on skyics and i wanted to go the stock ics so i just go to odin flash the tar and it passes the phone turns on and then att ready to go keeps forceclosing i cant get out of it so i flash another stock tar and same problem turns on att force closes and some other stuff so what should i do now? its not letting quit or exit it so any suggestions? thanks in advance
can anybody help ?? please
try using one of the earlier one click ICS releases. Then odin back to stock. I do not know why that matters, but it happened to me not too long ago. Very annoying.
Perhaps even booting into the stock 3e recovery after returning to stock. Then wiping your cache and factory reset from there might help.
Did that work for you?

Update Gone Wrong

Hello - I tried to update my phone from Infuse v2.2.3 to Th3Bill JB 3.3.2 and got in an endless loop. I then tried to go into recovery mode and do a restore. Checked the MD5, Erased boot and then started restoring boot image and thats where she has been sitting for some time. I will pull batter and attempt again however I may be hosed. Any help greatly appreciated.
It is not possible, that I am aware of, to go from Froyo straight to JB. You will also not be able to restore a backup at this point due to changes made on the phone in the borked attempt. You should be able to wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and after a couple of attempts re- install a Froyo rom from scratch. If you can't do that, do this.

Thanks to qkster and Entropy for this.
I had that issue as well. Only cause I like to see if I can be done. But no. What I do is go back to stock and rooted then flash a ICS ROM then make sure it boots. Then go wipe all stuff in cwm and flash jelly

Hey Pony, I was on the custom ROM Infuse v2.2.3 and not stock Froyo. I ended up doing the gtg ultimate unbrick to bring it back to stock and then did the full back to Infuse v2.2.3 and then did a nandroid restore. Everything looks good but it is acting a bit weird. Like I will try to open my applications or folders it sometimes hangs. I consistantly get it to free up by locking the phone and then unlocking it. Weird huh? Anyway I would be interested in trying to upgrade to JB but would like more instruction on that. Thanks for responding and if you can recommend anything that might help Im all ears.
See the post below - if you need more specific instructions let me know.
Thanks rkkaranrk.
Use Odin or heimdll to get stock GB Tom and then from there u can flash any rom u like just follow the instructions in the OP. You can go directly from GB to ICS but for JB u have to flash any ICS rom first and then JB.
Read the instructions on every thread.
