Hello! I just recently got my infuse, I had serendipity build 3 and I wanted to give MIUI a try (people said it had worked) and my cwm began to install then proceeded to say it was checking something but I can't quite recall what it was. I know it was a noob move but plea don't badger me, help ASAP would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't boot, the samsung logo shows up then "galaxy s" for a split second. When I attempt to connecty charger it goes into an endless bootloop every few seconds. I am not at my computer but will be in a few hours, as I am on vacation. Thank you very much to anyone who helps.

it's not bricked so you can breathe a sigh of relief you need to get to Download mode flash back to stock and start over if you have a Jig use that easy way to get into DL mode if not pull battery reinstall Volume down +Power should get you to DL mode and go here and follow what it says to get you back to stock

MIUI builds exist, but you can't just grab any MIUI build. They have a large number of issues which is why distribution is limited.
I suggest you Odin/Heimdall a Gingerbread kernel and then reflash Serendipity VII from CWM. Make sure to do a data wipe before rebooting.
I was using the s7 rom. To install miui boot into recovery flash miui then reboot. When it fails to boot pull battery and hold volume up down and the power button, should boot into recovery again. Then you need to flash miui again wipe data factory reset then reboot, all should be good

I have been reading threads here and I can't find an answer to my question.
I have an ATT Captivate running ATT 2.2. I ran the super one click app and have superuser available for the apps. I have rom manager free edition but no matter what I try I cannot get it to flash the Clockworkmod Recovery. When I try to flash it I get the message that it's been succesfully downloaded but never get the succesful flash.
I've spent a big part of the day at this and can't figure out why this isn't working. ANY ideas would be appreciated.
TIA, Jeff

It won't actually be flashed to your device. It creates an update.zip file on your internal sd card. What you have to do to get into clockwork is turn your phone off, hold down vol up+vol down+power until you see the AT&T logo show up on the screen. When you see the logo show up, release power but keep holding the volume keys. This will take you into the regular stock recovery. Once you are there, select the 'reinstall packages' option. The phone should reboot, at which point, hold down the volume keys again to get back into the stock recovery. Once it boots into stock recovery for the second time, select 'reinstall packages' again and it should put you into clockworkmod this time around.
At one time in all my trying I've been thru this as well. When I select reinstall packages I get:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I really want to get away from this ATT 2.2. I waited for the ATT upgrade but since it still won't support bluetooth voice dial I'm going to go this route if I can get it to work.

It is a way to do it but Odin can easely brick a phone if not used right.
It's alot easier to just prompt the command (.bat) from our computer with our phone plugged in debugging mode and let it do its magic. Takes a few seconds and it's done
Just rooted my new SGS3 using New Root Method Released for Verizon’s Galaxy S3, No Odin Required. i did the data & kelvic wipe then install Clean Rom 5.0. All progressed without a hitch. Even backed up with CWM prior to flash.
I rebooted into the new rom and got this: System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless... rebooted several time with same result.
What can I do now? Thanks for your help.
Just a wild guess, but me thinks your bootloader is still locked! But I'm not sure that will even apply because I rooted my device before unlocking the bootloader. But I rooted my device via ODIN first.
You can try EZ-Unlock via the Market. The GUI is still very buggy and will show the status as unknown but the internal workings of the app works good.
You got nothin to loose in trying. Go back to stock and give it another whirl after you've unlocked the bootloader.
Of that fails then I would suggest using the tried and true method..ODIN.
G'luck!
yup your bootloader is still locked
check the downloads thread and use version 1.2.
That means your boatloader is locked. You now must Odin back to stock and start over. Droid style has a guide stickied in the development thread. Follow section 6 of it.
Next time use ez unlock version 1.2 to unlock you boatloader.

Hi, I have a Verizon S3 flashed to Boost Mobile. I tried to gain root by flashing a stock rooted Rom and messed up the flash. I had to take it back to be flashed again  Now I'm more cautious before hand. I should have backed it up before attempting it, I know I know lol can anyone shed some light on how to update a flashed phone as well as how to root it. I could really use the help 
Also after I messed up the boost flash I paniced and flashed a sprint kernel hoping this would fix the problem. Since then anything that I've tried to view including taking camera shots and web browsing if done in landscape mode will be upside down, any remedy for this problem? I know now... root first, flash later.

Most likely you, while installing a custom recovery or custom ROM, forgot to unlock your boot loader.
For future reference you can unlock he boot loader using this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez.unlock
I hate to say it but I doubt his method is going to fix your phone in this situation.. I have been in this situation and you need to follow the soft brick method here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
90% sure your binary count has been tripped as well and you will need to reset that as well if you ever plan to ship to Verizon.
Binary count number can be viewed in download mode by the way.
Flash count can be reset useing this app.
After you unsoft bricked.

You mean when since not everyone will take the time to do some research before they embark on this journey called rooting.

but just for future reference, (sorry if was already said, didn't read the thread)
a brick is just that, the phone is worthless, cannot charge, no lights, no nothing you cannot get it to turn on or do anything.
So I have an old Infuse that my kids use and it went crazy the other day. Not sure what happened. Long story short I keep getting a boot loop at the ATT screen. This phone is not rooted and I'm not sure if it was on Froyo or GB. I've flashed every return from brick I can find on XDA. I'm using Odin and I'm pretty familiar with flashing/rooting etc. Can't figure this one out. The only thing I can think is the boot loaders are not the correct ones? Not sure, I keep seeing GTG's ultimate unbrick but all the links I get to it don't work. this is the only thing I haven't tried. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit to add: After I flash in Odin it goes to reboot then does the open update, verifying update, installing update, successfully installed update package.
Copying media files it says failed to mount/sdcard, can't mount /sdcard your storage not prepared yet please use UI menu for format and reboot. ??? I think that's the problem. How do I fix??
Just search in the stickies for bootloaders. That will solve your problems

This happened to me earlier. What I did was-
1 Went to full stock using heimdal one click, After completetion, U may stuck in bootloop in at&t as you said
2 Flash efs.zip found in the link below using odin. put efs.zip in odin and untouch any other setting and flash, (Ur imei may be previously corrupted so u got bootloop). This doesnot do any harm. So flash with confidence. If ur device doesnot show up in odin after u flash with heimdal one click , reinstal drivers with kies mini
Link for download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729838
3 Now u'll be out of AT&T bootloop if ur imei was previously corrupted.
I was in similar situation. And this solved my proble.
Hit me thanks if I helped you :good:
Thanks for all the advise. Still not working. Tried everything above and much more. Different things I do give different results but pretty much the same in end. Either sticks in recovery or boot loops one way or another. Really don't see how this could be related to software but you never know I guess.

Start at the beginning. When you rooted your phone what ROM/build were you on? Stock? What Recovery are you running? Did you make a backup? In my experience, you usually get a system 7 error when the download is bad, (did you check the MD5?) or if you're trying to flash a ROM that doesn't match your current system (IE: trying to flash a JB ROM when you're currently on ICS.)
The more info we have, the better we can help you.

Uh status 7 is assert protection so its a mismatch usually in device info typically model numbers, and has nothing to do with bad downloads.

Thanks for helping
I had a stock rom on it and found a youtube video referencing the how to guide in this forum, walked everything through step by step but didn't do the twrp thing, only odin . Tried it, didn't work. Didn't checkthe MD5 as it wasnt referenced in the video (have since seen it in the thread).
I'm gonna try and flash a stock rom with odin if I can and start over and ignore the youtube video.
At the moment Odin is the only program on my computer that talks to my phone so I'm hoping that works, just gotta find how to do it...

Yeah, stay stock until you have a clue on what you're doing.

thanks, on it now. Just need to get it back to stock with Odin then I'll try again when I understand what I'm doing more.
Anyone feeling charitable and want to tell me how to flash the stock rom with Odin? I'd appreciate it.

Best of luck mate, reply here if you have any issues. And for pete's sake, next time, instead of watching a YouTube video, read read read and re-read the forums. Once that's done, read them again. Only then, start flashing.

That's an alternate form of DL mode. Odin a stock ROM from that screen. Read the Noobs Guide. Odin is finicky so pay attention to the guide. Then read it again. Once you've read and comprehend it all spin in a circle saying "I deserve this" three times and Odin will grant your wish. lol

Got it working, used TWRP to flash the latest RC CM 10.1
Got it all going now after a minor heart attack and a few more grey hairs. Just gotta figure out why the wifi isn't working at all now. Can't get it to turn on.
Your original 'system error 7' problem was most likely caused by trying to flash a newer ROM with an older version of CWM or TWRP. Glad you got the phone up, can't help you with the wifi problem, sorry. Although, what modem did you flash, if any? System Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version?

I flashed the UXUMA7 radio, didnt really do much, it worked before.
Still can't figure out the Wifi though :-/ just straight up won't turn on.
If you are on a newer CM 10.1 , the only supported radio is UCMC1, UXUMA7 is really old. That may be why wifi is not working.
UXUMA7 and UCMC1 are very similar. First one is the Rogers and second is att's release which is usually late by a month or so after rogers. Bottom line both will work.
Have your radiofile.zip, cm10.1.zip, and gapps from 20130301 all on your SD card.
Do you have a back up, nandroid? If not do it now.
Go to recovery and Clean up well:
Go to mounts and format data, system, cach twice or three times. Go to advanced and clean dalvik cache. Don't reboot
Now installing in this order:
- radio
-cm10.1
-gapps
Now reboot your phone.
Wait until it is finished and leave it untouched for 10 minutes to settle down and do its thing.
Then turn it off back on and enjoy.
Your noob status will start to fade if you do a clean install :thumbup:
