Having serious problems installing a ROM

I have a samsung infuse on at&t. I want to install CM7. Here's what has happened so far:
- I copied the modified 3e recovery file into /system/bin
- I flashed CWM and rebooted.
- I got a bricked phone.
- I used GTG's unbricker to unbrick, eventually getting it to work.
- I ended up with a different android installation than I had previously. The market is weird, it's locked so I can't install APKs... I rooted and installed rom manager using adb but rom manager force closes immediately.
All I want to do is just install the CM7. I don't care if I keep my data, I don't care if I can recover to my old rom (that's already out the window.) I just want to get rid of this touchwiz garbage and get gingerbread.

Gtg unbrick again. Follow all instructions in infused. I don't feel like typing them out. Flash infused. Then flash cm7. Thank me. Finally get a different launcher. Launcher pro, go launcher. And others. Look at, what's the best launcher in q&a. Done

i see your having a serious problem posting in the correct section lol

What i did before to get it working is...
Unbrick with gtx unbrick / or unbrick to stock with root+ mod e3 recovery with Odin, phone restart into red recovery, flash cm7, reboot into recovery (it should be blue this time), reflash cm7, then Reboot system.
That works out for me in the past. Good luck and always do a nandroid backup.

But I don't understand how to do the first part. Can you give me more specific instructions? I'm looking through the big thread with all the roms, but I don't understand how I can install these roms with Odin. Can I directly install cm7 with Odin?

check out the first link in my signature line. it should help. gl

I flashed the one you linked with odin, and it booted into a blue recovery. Should it have been red?]
EDIT: and rom manager FCs instantly.
Update: I selected "reinstall packages" and CWM popped up!!! I'm doing a factory reset.

And I tried to install the compiled CM7 rom through rom manager, it booted into CWM and CWM did stuff, and then it rebooted to a samsung logo!
This is so much fun! Any thoughts on what I should try?
I assume I need to do the voodoo lagfix stuff?

I am following these instructions:

But the multiupload links are broken. How do I get CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip?

HELP after downgrade from ICS to GB my phone doesn't start!

Hay guys. Please help me. Some days ago i flashed my phone with 4.0.4 by Kies and everything was ok but after some days using ICS i was totally disappointed from it and decide to back my perfectly working 2.3.6 (Ausrian rom) with which i was before. But now after flashing it with Odin my phone stays on the first screen (Choose lang.) and than some messages start to shows up saying some google services can't start and after some seconds the phone restarts and all repeats again. PLEASE HELP if it's possible! Thanks in advance!!

Or you can flash cwm.
Then u can recovery from the backup.
For my experience, I encouter the same things as u (downgrade to gb, can't bpot).
What I do is listed below:
1. power off phone.
2. power on phone and press home+volume up to enter one mode (I don't how to name it. Also, the mode is like cwm, but only few functon)
3. select factory reset. select cache……
4. then u can reboot to a clean gb systen
5. flash cwm via odin and recovery it to the backup I made before flash ics.

[Q] stuck on fastboot

Hey,
I've been trying to root my TF300T (JB 4.1.1, JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.130-20120907) with no success.
I've downloaded the ASUS unlocking software and it went fine.
I've installed fastboot but when I boot into Recovey Mode the tablet simply gets stuck if I choose RCK or USB option (I haven't tried to wipe).
Nothing happend for a looong time. Then, I turn it off and when I turn it on again it starts (cold boot I guess OK)
It boots fine into JB and I can use it, but there's no way I can root it (through Recovery Mode).
I've tried DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3, but on every attempt I get the same error message: "access denied".
Since I'm stucked in that (and I`ve read many treads here with no success. None of the problems seemed like this).
I'd like to know if someone has had the same problem or have any idea of what might be happening. It's really weird.
Sorry if it seems too noob. I've rooted my Samsung GSII flawlessly but I'm having problems with this tablet.

Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916762

Thanks, but I still can't boot into fastboot, it gets stucked as seen in the pic.

Starting my phone after 2 months

2 months back, I upgraded my phone to S3, so I kept my infuse aside. Today morning when I tried to switch on the phone, phone doesnt start.
It was perfectly working before I upgraded my phone.
Is it bricked? I am able to open CWM, I wiped cache, dalvik cache and factory rest through CWM. Is there any other way to get back instead of download mode. my last destination is download mode, go back to stock. but just checking, if there is any other way, before trying it.
TIA

yeah if you had adb access there is a chance you could identify the issue but the idea that you'd be able to correct it is iffy. but if you hadn't already done a reset you could potentially use adb to backup your data and apps before a reflash. anyway I think you will like the selection of jelly bean ROMs. the infuse might not be a galaxy s3 but with cm10 its not so bad.

Well if your phone wasn't rooted or didn't have recovery, how did you try flashing ICS, start over using a back to stock, then follow instructions to a t, on root, recovery, boot loaders, and finally go for a jb ROM there are a few very stable ones available.

I am using •Heimdall One-Click Back To Stock UCLB3 + Easy Clockwork Recovery Mod Install (FOR AT&T USERS) Last Updated: June 03, 2012
this to goto stock, then flash boot loaders.
After flashing boot loaders, I am trying to root the device using super oneclick, then I am stuck on the screenshot shown in my previous post.

If you have clockwork mod recovery you don't need to root. Find an ICS ROM and flash away. BUT FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OP. Not shouting at you just emphasizing the importance of it.

You have to have the ICS boot loader and Boot Menu Manager in order to install and run CM11 or any other ROM that is Jelly Bean and up. Just update your firmware, root, install BMM the start flashing. :thumbup:

catch me up with what you did to get where your are at, I need to know your cause before I can find a solution.
next, are you rooted and have a custom recovery installed? You can boot but get nothing right? Did this happen when you flashed a new ROM or after you got rid of things in your system?

I hate to say it but it looks like you might have to flash a jelly bean STOCK(not custom) firmware, then start over from scratch, I think you are going to have to do it anyway because there are things in the stock jellybean that you're gonna need in place before you flash any kind of new ROM, it would also be easier that way than trying to fix your problem befire you start.

I have no clockwork mod I cant get it too work or I know I cant get clockwork mod wit bootstrap.. But even when i went into boot recovery i was just in a bootloop at my motorola boot screen. an was not able to get into recovery no matter what button i pressed.

did you try piwering off or pulling the battery out it back in and then use the button combination to boot to recovery instead if using bootstrap to boot to recovery?

are you asking a question or making a statement? Do you not like your recovery or something?

install ROM manager, its an app, it has an option that lets you boot into recovery straight from system without having to use the buttons

I hate to say it but it looks like you might have to flash a jelly bean STOCK(not custom) firmware, then start over from scratch, I think you are going to have to do it anyway because there are things in the stock jellybean that you're gonna need in place before you flash any kind of new ROM, it would also be easier that way than trying to fix your problem befire you start.

yes as long as it is a stock version of jelly bean for your device, doesnt matter the version as long as its for your exact model number
you won't be able to do it through recovery though, you'll have to have a oc to flash stock firmware to your device, you'll need to download your stock firmware (not custom roms), the usb drivers for your device, and whatever program is required to flash your stock firmware. no other way, then you'll have to root again and install a recovery then you can find and flash whatever custom roms are available for your device

you might could just reflash recovery with a pc with whatever method your device uses on pc then flash a custom rom, its safest to just flash the stock and start over

when you say you keep losing your imei do you mean you can put it back but it won't stay?

there is a process that you can do through the terminal emulator app that you can make a backup of your imei and a method to restore it but you'll have to find how it is done for your device, do a google search for "HOW TO MAKE AN IMEI BACKUP FOR (your device model)" that should give you something.

Hello..!!
Do you've Atrix 2 mb865 ..?? if yes you can follow this step..
you need to download ICS/JB leak firmware for ur device AT&T/International version, then you need rsd lite to flash ur stock fw back to ur device via fasboot mode..
Root ur device again and then you need to install Boot Menu Manager from playstore . No Bootstrap anymore if you want to have KK rom on ur Atrix2..
Bootstrap only can be use if you're still on GB only..
Hope you got it my friend ...

Really...??
No.. you no need to backup your IMEI on this device.. But you must need to backup your CID .
You can do it via bmm recovery.. there was a option menu to do it when you're on recovery setting interface ...
Sorry if I'm wrong. ..

I told him I wasn't familiar with his device, I told him to flash a newer version of stock because it has parts he'll need if he flashes a newer custom ROM but he keeps wanting yo fix what he's running even though he's gonna have to flash over it anyway to get where he wants to be so I don't see wgat the problem is, flashing stock will get rid of his issue then flash up to whatever Rom he wants, I don't see why he doesn't just go ahead and do it now instead of doing what he's doing.
