[Q] Infuse Soft brick

Background info-
Came stock 2.2.1 Froyo
Rooted-Superoneclick
Flashed Infused 2.2.3 ROM
Here is where it gets messy. I had downloaded a second ROM (TEDGY? I think it was called) and saved it to my phone to flash later as i wanted to revert to stock then flash. My dad decided to help me and open all the apps he didnt understand (ROM manager, superuser and Kernal Flasher) and "accidently" flashed my second ROM over Infused 2.2.3. Now its stuck in a bootloop and thinks its a galaxy s 1000??? When i tried to boot into ClockWorkMod it just reloads/resumes the "Samsung Galaxy S 1000" boot up screen. I pulled the battery and tried holding vol UP+DOWN+POWER and it shows the bootup screen. What do i do?
Input on anything appreciated!

Oh wow well back to stock it should be then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251 or you can go straight to 2.3 leak if you wish: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 what you could try though is hold the up volume and power until the screen goes off, then boot into cwm. If it does boot, then if you have hellraiser all you do is just flash that. If you do not, if you have an adapter for the sd card to the computer then plug it in after the two button thing i said earlier to turn it off and take the battery out. Then put Hellraiser on the sdcard, and then try booting into cwm and then flashing that to live lol. Just going to stock in you case may be easier though.

thanks guys. just debricked it. now its stock and slow! Yeah Froyo! (back to gtg465's infused ROM!)

[q] i might have soft bricked my inspire using cwr need help

hink that I may have soft bricked my inspire, I installed gbsense and decided that I didn't like it. so I went to cwr recovery to restore my old rom, and it came up with a red ! I had a total noob moment and not remembering that I just needed to hit Vol up + power I assumed it was CWR and reverted to an old build. Now it won't start at all. I can get into the vol down - power screen but that it's. I need some help

Read the sticky in the Inspire general section, "stuck in hboot read this".

I tried that, vol up- power makes my phone buzz three times and the led flashes and locks up there Have to pull the battery, so I'll need to do the 256 meg pre rooted s-off version
I was hoping there was an easier way but thanks

Its volume down and power. Like I mention in the guide I recommend reflashing cwr first, so you can restore a backup or go straight to a custom rom

As you have found out, flashing that rom sets recovery back to factory.
Just so that the phone off charge animation is present.
Flashing cwm recovery through hboot should set you right up.

[Q] Having issues trying to get back to stock

Ive been using the thread to Odin back to stock as im getting a replacement phone in a few days. Followed everything correctly, but Ive been getting a boot loop between the green android guy and the white Samsung startup logos. Redid the process in odin and now im getting "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" when I go to download mode. i know I have a saved Nandroid backup on my SDcard, I just cant get to it. I also have mini Kies installed on my computer if there is a way to fix it thru that. I cant figure out how to get into recovery mode either. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Im just trying to get my phone working until my replacement is here.
I did Odin again, but now im stuck in a boot loop between the greenm android guy and the white samsung startup screens.

That's because you had to factory reset and erase all data before flashing to stock. I had the same issue when flashing from dk4 to stock to lf4

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

So how do I get my phone working again? Its stuck in a bootloop after following the directions for Odin back to stock thread

This issue only occured when you uncheck Auto reboot in Odin. Try Odin again with Auto reboot checked
If you getting an boot loop, do exactly what I've done in Odin thread

If you get a boot loop All you do is boot in stock recovery and wipe data

Can't go to stock recovery in this case. This issue only occoured when Odin to stock ROM after using/flashing custom ROM that you forgot to format system or clean data. I've run into this problem before

It looks like after all this, Titanium Backup's backup was erased. I do have a Nandroid saved on my SDcard. Is there a way to pull everything from that? When I go to CWM and try to do a Nandroid, it says there isnt anything there. But When I connect to my computer, I can see the saved backup. I have been able to pull a few backed up apps off the Nandroid backup, but only certain ones or it says batch restore failed. Im wonder how it can see the Nandroids, but CWM cant? They're saved on my SDcard.
Is there another way Titanium Backup saves backups that I could possibly get to them? Im really trying to figure this out before my replacement phone gets here in a few days. I did backup everything, Im just having a difficult time restoring after the numerous problems Ive had thanks to Tmobile's "troubleshooting"

What are you currently running? If you are back to stock titanium won't function correctly as you have to be rooted. But since you mentioned cwm I wasn't sure.

Im just on stock but I am rooted. I just dont know where all my backups went after the bootloop and issues with reverting to stock after Tmobilr screwed up my phone trying to figure out why I kept getting "Call Ended" when trying to dial out.

Where is your nandroid backup currently located?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

On my external SDcard/clockwork mod/backup/ whatever the date was.

Seems normal. Not sure why it wouldn't be visible. Sorry I can't be more help.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2

In recovery they are visible, but when I go to flash one it says no files found..

I was also stuck in a boot loop after attempting to get my phone back to stock since I got a replacement phone. Followed all of the instructions, but realized although I did a factory reset, I forgot to wipe data. So I simply got CWM through Odin....got into recovery wiped data....rebooted and voila! I'm back to stock no root. It took all of 1 minute to do. Maybe that will work for you too

You gotta search bro all you have to do is flash cwm then reboot to recovery and do a factory reset

Thank you for your quick response.I am able to get to recovery mode.and wipe data and factory reset.I got cm10 1117 nightly on my SD card and I install that and my phone is back.then I install jelly bean Google app.I will never try to go back to stock ROM again. this ROM is cm10 1117 nightly is better than stable cm10 for me.I thank all the devs who worked together to bring this your effort is much appreciated.
This is how I get to recovery mode on my Samsung galaxy s blaze.
1.press the vol up + vol down + power button at the same time.
2.as soon as the Samsung logo light up I release power + vol down button but not releasing releasing vol up button but rather press it harder..and there it comes....may be someone might be having the difficulty I had before
Give it a try...

Glittery/sparkly screen, bad root

I tried rooting my brothers phone but after I thought I rooted it and went into recovery the screen looked like there was a bunch of glitter on it. I first rooted it with the SGS II root which is different from the Blaze 4G root because that one has a pit and tar file whereas the SGS II just has the tar file. I wiped the phone twice then rooted it with the correct files but still get the glittery screen. Has anyone else come across this?

Why did you use the s2 root? I can't help, but I would suggest saying sorry to your brother xD unless someone more experienced can help. Do you have clockwork mod recovery on it?
Sent from my SGH-T769

As long as you didn't flash bootloaders from s2 just try and put ur phone in download mode and flash the blaze4g back to stock with Odin
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

Yeah I'll try that and no it doesn't have clock work. That's what I was trying to put on there but then I realized the files weren't for the Blaze model and when I tried to get into recovery it showed that glittery screen. I've rooted my phone and installed ROM's many times. I just overlooked this little detail with the files.

This happened last night while I was reverting back to stock from the DarkKnight rom. After returning to stock I was getting the glitter screen when trying to get into recovery and also stuck in a boot loop.
I retried numerous times to go back to stock in ODIN with zero luck, no recovery and stuck in boot loop.
What finally got me out of this loop was to root it again even though it wouldn't boot up, and then load clockwork recovery on. I was then able to get into clockwork and clear cache, dalvik and then factory data/reset. Then I did the return to stock process again in ODIN and everything went back to stock and the phone works fine but ...
I still have the glitter screen for stock recovery though, any suggestions ?

[Q] Rooted Froyo to Frozen Galaxy S 9I000 after a flash with SGS Kernel Flasher

I have like many, played with my Android for 2 years now. I have a bricked Infuse GB (finally toyed with it to its death last week), so I pulled out my old Froyo unrooted backup. I rooted with SuperOneClick - easy. I made some kernel tweaks in Rom Toolbox Pro, and also changed a few status bar icons. I did several reboots and all was running well. I did need to adjust some more tweaks but I saved those for my next big change, when I decided to.
...look into more of what I could do and downloaded the zip file for Voodoo Sound. I read that this could do wonders on my Froyo stock rom and was compatible - actually, I read fairly safe. So I can't say if this caused this or not. It could have been my lack of booting after each simple change, font, notification icons..etc. But I didn't do much more before I flashed Voodoo Sound
I downloaded SGS Kernal Flasher from the market, and when I flashed and it booted, I got the SAMSUNG screen. Then followed by a new black screen with GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white with Samsung logo on bottom. And it stays frozen. I cannot enter recovery mode or download mode to my knowledge - or should I say, experience.
Since this was my backup and what I was doing seemed relatively harmless Im a bit shocked. I loved that my font and icons were changing, something I couldn't do with my gingerbread infuse using rom toolbox pro.
So now I am stuck on a bootscreen I've never seen before, nor intended to flash if that is what happened. Was this flashing Voodoo Sound or was it my negligence with other? I just rooted this yesterday after getting too frustrated to fix the GB. I don't think I had but 4 apps downloaded and really left most of the build.prop stuff alone beyond some minor adjustments for battery life.
So I'm stuck on a boot screen with a phone model I am not familiar with, cannot get into download mode or into recovery mode. I had a TWRP Recovery zip file I never set up yet, never got CWM recovery working - regardless, I just started playing with it so I'm lost as I thought I could just wipe, reinstall packages and reboot fresh. I hate this to be my first post, but I usually find all the answers I need from you guys and I appreciate all the efforts you put into this site to help noobs like myself from creating disasters. I just didn't know what to do and if I'm not hard bricked, I don't want to end up that way.
I thought unrooting would work, but I can't get into the phone so it won't connect to the computer. Also, when plugged in, it shows a battery frozen at zero. I know it's probably charging but that must mean I messed up something that starts at boot. Anyone willing to help me resolve this issue and get me back on so I can make phone calls again - something I should probably stick too, haha. But sometimes, mistakes are the best teachers...so maybe I'll learn something easy from the pros here.

Well u have the wrong kernel flashed some how
I would try a different computer and go for the heimdall package to take phone back to stock.
As soon as you do get to download mode and I know it sucks with bad kernel flash I did before my self. Gotta just keep trying ..... If you got power u can get download mode.
For more information go to qkster thread ...

Thank you, I'll search that out. Well, I thought bricking was more potential, but if I can do a recovery on both that'd be great. I backed all up to laptop and gdrive before - and actually thought about leaving it "new". As my first root and tweaking, or "modding" out the GB was great. And I never picked Froyo back up, but I just wiped it and rooted it yesterday, and I only used it for a month when I got it (long story with phone provider and a dent on the side (but I have two Infuses,Froy and GB)
But I am going to stay away from flashing. That got the GB...but since you brought up the power option. I thought they were toast. If it takes me a few days to learn, I'd do it in a heart beat - they both have power and that means I can get them both working. The GB has a PC on left, Phone on right and a triangle in middle. I didn't read into fixing that - which I thought would be tougher than grabbing my other. Maybe I can get both working and get some more insight.
I appreciate it, and anyone else who inputs. I'll start reading into that other thread after dinner, cross your fingers for me. :fingers-crossed:

I cannot find the specific thread you were directing me to. But I was successful after many attempts to enter download mode. It is being recognized but unable to access the insides of my phone. If I click reboot from download mode (volume down), it boots to the stuck Samsung logo. If I push up, it's in download mode, but I have nothing to send commands to it as it's not being recognized beyond the Samsung USB composite.
Can someone direct me to where the thread may be about the frozen/stuck Samsung boot logo? Also, frozen 0% battery level but charged all night.
I'm trying to find something specific on this but it's difficult being an Infuse Froyo and I'm stuck on the Galaxy S GTI900 which was never there before my last reboot - obviously whatever I flashed was probably for the Galaxy S. I get SAMSUNG, then the Galaxy S screen...can't seem to get into recovery because it's too fast before stuck again.

Take out the battery, put it back in do not turn it on hit volume up and volume down plug in USB that's the download mode you are looking for
