help?! - Samsung Infuse 4G

ok.. i was on s7/hellraiser with infusion kernel. since running this rom, my pc no longer recognized my phone. i tried flashing a rom thru cm7 but got stuck on the samsung logo. after, i tried flashing back to s7 & infused, as they are both on my sd card, thru red CWM, but im still getting stuck at the samsung logo. my pc wont recognize the phone to odin back to stock so.... wat can i do??? plz and thnx

Did you try using Heimdall? Some have better luck with that. A factory data reset might fix your problem, because you seem to be flashing a lot of roms over each other. The bootloop might be fixed by a reset, if not try again with Heimdall. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you
Edit: Try using a different USB Port on the computer or even a different PC all together. Also try using another cord.

sounds like a driver issue. install ubuntu and use heimdall. that'll fix any driver problems
try pulling the batter and inserting it with odin open, the usb cable inserted, and holding down the volume bar. after that doesn't work delete and reinstall the drivers. or go with linux and never have a driver issue with the phone again ( may have driver issues with video and wifi and attached devices though)

in heimdall once you load all the files (no pit because you don't have bootloaders) click flash or start or whatever. if the phones isn't connected it will let you know.
there is also heimdall oneclick return to stock. set the. jar file as executable and launch in terminal. the thread on oneclick should explain the comand needed and how to install heimdall backend from inside heimdall oneclick (if you don't have it already.)

did you install the android SDK

[Q] Infuse Bricked (I think)

I was running stock 2.3.6 and attempted to root it using Odin. During the process, it was stuck on cache.rfs for a long time...I took the battery out and turned on the infuse again. This time it said I needed to do recovery mode. Kies woulnd't recognize the device. So I went back into download mode and tried GTG Ultimate Unbrick. This isn't working because it keeps getting stuck at factoryfs.rfs. It's currently there now, and its been here for at least 15min. I've tried closing Odin, retrying, removing battery and SD and trying but nothing is working! I'm not sure what to do. :/

If you can still get into download mode, you aren't hard bricked. That's a good thing
As for recovering your device. This has happened to me multiple times. There are about a million different things I've tried. 1. Simply use a different USB port, 2. Try a different cable it it's available, 3. Use a different version of ODIN, 4. Try using the heimdal method, 5. Completely uninstall the drivers for the phone and then reinstall them.
Try all of these, not necessarily in that order. I tried last time and it turned out all I needed to do was switch computers for god knows what reason. Good luck!
I'm trying Heimdall right now. Will let you know how it goes..
So as I click flash, it starts...but then it says drivers not found so I click their "Reinstall Drivers" and then after 5min, the installation fails.
I got past the driver error. Now what it tell me is:
Uploading KERNAL
0%
>Then it says
KERNAL upload failed
Ending session...
I have managed to successfully run the Heimdall. But now it turns on and goes into recovery everytime. I wiped data and cache. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE?
I have had a similar experience. My flash would freeze at random points and never complete. This was using my laptop with windows 7. Tried a different computer (same brand, same OS,same USB cable) and it worked fine. This was the case for SOC and ODIN.

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.
They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

[Q] Infuse won't connect

Before I start I want to say i've gone through every single post about the infuse not being able to connect and done what it says and still I cannot connect my phone to my pc.
First off the phone only started to no connect after I did the v6 supercharger tweak.
I have tried reinstalling the drivers.
Tried restoring the phone completely, NOTHING WORKS
If anyone could help me out that would be great by the way it is the
Samsung Infuse SGHI997 rooted, running ics 4.0.1 (CM9)
I have tried downgrading to start fresh but I couldn't figure it out.
Thanks for helping in advance.
I'm sure you tried the obvious using other cords?Will your phone charge when plugged into the PC?
Sent from my SGH-i997 using xda premium
I havent been able to use any other cords i dont think i have another but im going to look tonight. and yeah it starts charging than the notification on the taskbar pops up and says that an unknown device is connect error code 43 or something along there.
and the only reason I didnt think of the cord is because its the one if used since i got the phone to transfer music and pictures.
As you have probably seen in the other threads, sometimes it just takes a lot of work trying different things (ports, cords, pc's) to get to Heimdall to work.
Regarding "error 43", googling leads to many pages like this:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/errorc/a/code-43-error.htm
suggests perhaps a driver problem. Maybe try removing and reinstalling drivers.
An alternative- can you boot into CWM? If so, you can get UCLB3 here:

I'm not sure if there is a CWM flashable stock for Froyo...
But at very least, you could try using a Custom Rom for Froyo.
Here's what's available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610374
I didn't see any CWM-flashable stock Froyo ROMs in that list. Only the Heimdal and Odin varieties.
By the way, I'm not very experienced in flashing. You might want to double check with someone else before you follow my advice in this area.
i really really need help now.
Phone is stuck at a screen that says firmware upgrade enountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
But it wont connect to kies please help.
What are you using, Odin or Heimdall? If you are using Heimdall you probably shouldn't be using Kies drivers. Heimdall uses their own drivers and replace the Kies Samsung drivers.
Did you follow instructions in qster's page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Not sure what to do from here if you want to try Froyo.

That is a form of download mode. Try running Odin or heimdall again, it should recognize your phone and let you flash.
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
a fix hopefully
Install Kies. Then at the top of Kies is a radio button. Push it and install drivers. Restart your computer with the phone NOT plugged in. When pc is back on. It should recognize phone. It may ask to restart again. Do it. I use Odin to reflash GTG unbrick, then the stock with root, and cwm included. Then flash a ics rom (normally twice). You will get a bad flash the first time in red cwm. Reflash it in blue. Then, go to a jb build. Yeah, it takes a while. Hope this helps you.

(Q) about one click to stock

I've one clicked back to stock before, but not from cm9 herring, the one click shows my phone as disconnected. Windows shows my phone as unknown device when in download mode. I've reinstalled usb drivers. Can I flash a GB rom with no issues then try one click?
Your phone should show connected if the correct driver is installed. Is it a heimdall one-click?
Don't flash a gb rom, only bad things will happen. Fix your driver situation first.

Yes heimdall, I've used it before with no issues, when I connect my phone while it's running it shows up fine. It's when I go into download mode that it doesn't. I'll reinstall drivers again
Crazy in download mode it recognized my phone then a second later didn't
Crazy, it would go from recognizing the phone to not so in my frustration I spam clicked flash and bam it stuck. If I wanna be full stock should I flash bootloader?
Aw it just failed
Tried a different cable? I got a drawer full of ones that you have to hold a certain angle to get to work.. but, they work on other phones that I have with no wiggle..

Success, what a pain in the butt thanks
It's not an exact science with these things sometimes. Cable, usb port, day of the week, phase of the moon all can determine a simple 1click to stock or an 6 hour ordeal. lol.

Heimdall 1click stuck at kernel upload failed

Need some help. Step dad's Infuze is boot looing at the samsung logo. Searched and found qkster's thread about using heimdall 1 click to flash UCLB3. Got the phone into dl mode, loaded drivers and started flashing. Stopped at kernel upload failed. Ending session. Don't know what to do, can I just unplug and start over? Thanks in advance for any help.
Rebooted into dl mode, now it is showing firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again. Please help, is this still fixable?
I can get the phone recognized by Heimdall, just that it stops when loading the kernel. Is there another way to load kernel when in the dl mode?

Try running again and again if necessary until flashes and boots into ROM then Use one of the kernels in the same thread of qkster's that includes root and CWM recovery
Keep trying different ports, different USB cables, reboot computer,use different computer if available

either odin or heimdall works. you have to believe that. the frustration is getting a pc with usb port and a usb cord and your phone to align and work correctly. usually after a few driver install or java update or reboot..something works.
your other situation where you kinda had it recognized and almost completed a flash, try different usb cords. hold it steady, wipe the ports..etc..connection is prolly loose

Yeah frustrating it really is. Will fire up the old xp boxen and see if I get better results with that.
While reading up yesterday, I saw some posts about corrupted efs causing the att screen bootloop. Is there anything else?
I don't think it is a power button problem as the phone doesn't turn on when I insert the battery.
Finally, you think it is safe to use a custom rom if the stock one is bootlooping on the at screen?
Thanks again, will go back to reading and trying stuff after dropping off my son to daycare.
:good:
