I don't really know what happened actually...I was on quickwiz 1.0.3 for about a week and last night my battery drained off completely and the skyrocket shut itself off...after I charged it up this morning, I saw a series of force closes and I did see some interesting message about "system UDI" or something not being compatible...dont remember what it was exactly though...
after that, i thought the device was soft bricked and used k0nane's method of odin to revert it back....the odin said that it was successful and rebooted my device...but, my mobile is now stuck at the bootlogo(at&t rethink possible) and keeps running that boot animation over and over without booting up entirely...
Any suggestions on how to recover from this plz?
I saw that the counter was incremented...so returning this is an issue now...trying to order my jig for that...any help will be greatly appreciated
Did you revert back to stock recovery? If so have you tried flashing cwm recovery using Odin?

If you can get into cwm recovery try restoring a nandroid if you made one if not try flashing a rom but wipe data and cache first

you should go into stock recovery Which you have if you flashed Konanes stock file.....and wipe data. if that does not do the trick. i would try wiping data again....doing the stock one more time. i been in that exact same boat, as have others. this is what i did to get out. but others have had luck just flashing 3e recovery and wiping data 3 times, flash CMW via odin and restore a nandroid to get back up and running or staying at stock. its up to you.
hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply man...but I didnt really follow what u said back there ...odining back the tar that k0nane gave should return the unit back to stock-meaning i should have the stock recovery as well...but I dont know why my skyrocket didn't boot up the whole way
Lemme explain what I did initially with my device actually- After I got my skyrocket, I used copperhed's method to flash clockwork cwm thru odin and rooted the device..after that, I flashed the quickwiz 1.0.3 thru the clockwork recovery and the thing I mentioned before happened to me...nothing more, nothing less...after this force close thing I had initially on quickwiz, I tried restoring my previous nandoid backups and all of them stopped at the bootanimation looping...nothing booted the whole way up and yes, I wiped for each restore...with none of them working, I started the k0nane's odining
I actually got this all worked out somehow now and want to share this info as it might help someone who had the same issue...After flashing the k0nane's tar thru odin, I went into the 3e recover and tried a factory reset...it asked me for a password there and i typed in the wrong password a couple of times as i dont know what the right one is...after some wrong attempts, it formatted everything(/data, cache and even the sdcad) and voila...my skyrocket booted up fine...i didnt worry much to do this as I had nothing on my sdcard and also since i have nandroid's of all my previous ROM's
But I still wanna know why this all happened..
all this panic cost me about 30 bucks to order a jig faster thru EMS....and my counter is up by 2 as I odin'd the tar twice thinking it might work
Thanks for the reply man...just figured it out...
A similar thing happened to me once, i flashed cm7 then i flash da_g kernal. After that, my phone was stuck on cm7 logo. I went back to stock and i was stuck at the rethink possible logo. After that i restared my phone into the stock recovery mode and i wiped everything and i was able to get my phone back.

i think you made this harder than it was, i honestly STILL dont know WHY this happens. but alot of people have had it happen. some say its undervolting( but i never did any of that) others thinks its Da 'gs Kernel which you were on if you flashed QuickWiz and i had his running as well. some think its the CWM itself that that is causing this because it is not for advice.
Over the past week i have STOPPED using Da g's kernel and have not that happen again.
either way, i think you went into a panic, the steps i listed WILL work weather you flashed 3e with odin or Return to stock to get 3e with Odin and WIPE ALL DATA, and CACHE. im glad you got it going though. sorry you waisted your 30 bucks bruh.
thanks for ur concern bro...i just panicked coz i wanted a working phone asap and i thought of returning mine at the att store...so used the ems shipping for faster delivery of the jig...and minutes after I ordered it, I got it all working...u can see the heights of irony here ...nyway....am glad to see it happen atleast once as I will know what to do if this happens again...for the moment, am gonna stay away from the OC kernels...

One last cry for help before I honestly take this phone in my garage and go to town on it with a sledge hammer!!!!
I bought this used Infuse 4G (Rogers). But I can't do I clean wipe to get rid of the previous owner's information, this google account is driving me crazy , it keeps trying to login to the guy's account and putting in my own google account doesn't do any good either because it still asks for the original account's password when i try accessing the market. So, a clean wipe/factory reset would be the ideal thing to do i believe. A traditional Factory Reset through Setting>Privacy>Factory Reset would just freeze my phone on a multi-colored screwed up screen and nothing happens until i reflash. Trying to wipe through ROM Manager (manual management) also does the exact same thing.
I am currently on this rom ..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1193927 .... Its the only one that works besides the AT&T 2.3.5 (but i can't root that one).
Anyways, people have suggested gtg_ultimate_unbrick, but all that does is freezes my phone on the black samsung screen.
Please guys, I know this can be done .... But I'm not exactly an expert, as a matter of fact, I'm a noob to Android phones.....lol
where does it freeze when you do the ultimate unbrick. Did it simply not boot after you odin'ed back to stock?

If you are rooted you can't and on a ron you can't do a manual factory reset. Boot into recovery wipe factory and cache and dalvik then flash a rom or Odin back to stock then you'll be good

Odd that you still have there account after flasHing roms unless you did a backup and restore with cwm or titanium.
Have you tried a factory reset from settings> privacy? This will wipe the internal sd card so backup any media or other files on it to the external one.

Stool of this was very weird, there is no reason a Rogers infuse should have multi color junk or broken recovery. I'll bet the last owner tried to flash something they shouldn't have. Glad it got to a point that you can use it though. Hope it is the last issues you have with it.
Okay, so here's a long story short. I flashed AT&T ICS leak #2 when I first got my replacement due to a brick. I ran SCV7 for a week or so and decided to try out CM10. I restored my backup of stock/rooted backup. Uninstalled highjacks, packages and app (bootmenu) itself. I then installed our OG A2 bootstrap, installed fine, installed CM10, played around with it for awhile. Realized I didnt reinstall the OG A2 Bootstrap so went ahead and did that. (without booting into recovery yet) I then later in the day decided to REBOOT my phone to only find me stuck on the CM10 boot animation. I battery pulled, plugged in to see if any recovery would show, none, just the battery charge percentage. I then battery pulled again, got into stock recovery, tried a data and cache wipe to no effect. My problem is, there is NO FXZ for the AT&T leak #2, I have no recovery besides stock and the only thing I can do is take my 32GB SD card out and add/delete files/everything. I saddly did not make a copy of the system.img but was wondering if anyone else possibly did? This would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck with a soft brick until then or a new FXZ to work with AT&T leak #2. Any suggestions or help is very much appreciated. Thanks all for reading and I'm praying for a miracle in my phone right about now lol!

Hey, and sort of welcome back...
But I hate to be the bearer of bad, bad news... you have a softbrick, and there is NOTHING you can do.
Next time, read everything in an OP... LOL, look who I am telling this to....
The CM10 installs come with their own CWM built in, and flashing bootstrap is what bootlooped you, so after you get another warranty replacement (yes, you HAVE to do this), I would install leak #1 ONLY, then flash cm10 with bootstrap, then do not reinstall any boot hijacks or CWM "like" recovery (bootmenu), because all you have to do it hit the vol down button right as you see the blue led flash during the M dual core logo.
Or enter the CM10 recovery menu and so on and so forth.
This is how I got out of a cm10 boot-loop.
I just restored from bootmenu backup via adb.

I will get with alteredlikeness and see if we can possibly think of something together on this one. The first thought would be to try an mearet/searet fxz for 2.3.6 since they can fxz back with out any mods to thier 2.3.6 or 2.3.5 fxz from thier ICS leaks, but I am thinking that will still brick you, but interested to see anyhow.
So I will see if alteredlikeness and I can think of some other way to try. He or I will PM you either way.

I was running a embryo rom, cant remember which one...
Any help is appreciated. I've looked around and cant seem to find much to help me so far.
Can you do a fresh install over top the existing ROM? Instead of trying to salvage the existing ROM.
Can you mount the USB in recovery?

Can you put the phone in download mode? If so, restore to stock from there. Format your SD cards, internal and external, as well, and make sure to wipe x3 so any damaged remnants are swept away.

BEFORE YOU DO THAT, a few quick notes and thoughts:
1. Don't ever mess around in recovery/download if you don't know what you're doing. If you're not sure how you "got it there" or "what to do from this point," you don't know what you're doing. Read or brick.
2. Looking back at your first post, a couple of thoughts occur to me. One, are you trying to use recovery while plugged in? That can sometimes cause things to mess up, especially if you're plugged in while going into recovery. Wouldn't cause a bootloop though.
3. CWM 5.8.4.3 was a troublemaker, if I recall correctly. Are you on CWM touch, or CWM button-masher? CWM button-masher has a history of doing bad things to Skyrockets.
4. If your phone is not successfully completing the factory reset and you're not sure which ROM you're running, what in God's name made you think flashing a ROM on top of what's there was a good idea?
99.9999999% this is not a ROM problem. Lots of people are using the Embryo family without bootlooping on a battery charge, so I'm inclined to believe it's something else.
Restore to stock and pray, bud. Too many red flags for me to chalk this up to anything other than user error. Sorry.

Not using recovery while plugged in.
Not using CWM touch.
I couldn't recall the ROM when I wrote the OP, its stated in one of my replies. I tried re-flashing the rom that I had on my SD card (the one I had when everything went wrong).
Not sure how it could be user error when I have not messed with anything before my problem and since then all I have tried doing is reinstalling the rom, and when that didn't work I tried wipe data\factory reset.
So far I haven't done anything that was not recommended.
I am downloading the stock firmware now and I will use ODIN to flash and let you all know how it goes.
Thanks for the help so far.
Fixed!
I didn't lose anything, just my rom. Sweet.
I expected to lose my stuff, thats great news.
Thank you very much.
Now to reply to the million messages I got while my phone was down...
When in doubt, restore to stock.
Seriously though, I'm really glad you brought it back. If you're going to flash/mod/whatever, please, for your own sake, read through the stickies here. It'll take you a couple hours or so to do, and it'll save you from turning your phone into a paperweight later. And get rid of that non-touch CWM lol! sk8rwitskiis does a great version of CWM Touch for our Skyrockets, and TWRP is an excellent recovery as well.

Yes. Search. Before posting. Search here and here.
You have flashed a gingerbread kernel on ICS which is why you are stuck at the boot screen. Flash CWM in odin and wipe everything and then flash any rom of your choice, or check here for how to get back to stock (to then upgrade back to stock ICS via KIES or get ICS directly from samsung) and then here for ICS root instructions.
I think maybe tomorrow when I have a few minutes I will create a thread titled 'soft brick, bootloop, odin repartition, etc fixes' to sticky. It would be helpful...

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

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??

Tried everything and no go. Not sure where to go from here. Sure seems like a hardware issue.

You mentioned it's boot-looping at the Samsung logo - perhaps there's an issue with the power button.
Here's a couple of threads that may be helpful:

It goes past the Samsung logo screen then to the ATT Rethink Possible screen then keeps looping on that screen over and over. It charges normally also.

I would try flashing just a kernel (not the whole unbrick package). I have been in a similar situation and after trying everything imaginable that's what ended up fixing it for me.

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

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.
