Total Brick after installing MIUI and loosing root & Recovery and flashed to stock

Total Brick after installing MIUI and loosing root & Recovery and flashed to stock
Hi everybody. I hope to catch attention from all Developpers who can and are willing to help.
Here's my situation.
I'm a Rogers Wireless customer with a Samsung Infuse 4G Rooted and running Infused ROM
I Flashed this morning the infuse to the Latest MIUI ROM, everything went fine but I didn't like the ROM so I tried to revert back to the Infused ROM.
What was my surprise when I've discovered that I've lost the Recovery mode as well as I've lost Root Permission....
Then I've tried to flash back to the stock ROM using the "Ultimate Unbrick"
Everything was ok as I know Odin really well. So I've put the files where they should in Odin and Started the process.
The loading bar was stuck for several minutes and finally I reallised it was frozen.
I've Rebooted the phone then I've realised It wasn't even booting a little bit...
Total Black screen and lights off.
The only thing working is the Download mode
But any Odin Manipulation I try seem to fail....
sometime it say:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

Sometime it go a little further but never go further than the fist bar of the loading on the phone.
Is someone having any Idea? Please Help :-(

wrong section sorry but it is

This thread will be moved shortly anyway, but I'll say your NAND could be going or corrupted. Was it giving you any kind of problem before? Lots of FC's, things not working right at all....

You didn't actually lose recovery or root. To get to recovery hold the power button and then hit reboot. Then the option to enter recovery will show up. You still have root but you need to activate it by going to Supwruser in the tools folder.

Change USB ports...this hapend to me. And make sure that the "f.reset" is unticked....only the center option should be ticked...I'm not on my PC but I remember it being something along those lines.

Still Nothing
I've tried Changing USB Port
Tried with 3 Computer
Phone was fine before
I Lost Root...REALLY, Superuser was turned on (even tried off/on to be sure)
Apps that require Root was not working failed to get root
Recovery Mode was not there...I Mean the button was there but it was freezing when I tried to access it. It was only able to boot normaly. Even the 3 button recovery was missing...
Now it's a total brick...only thing that work is the download Mode but I can't flash anything...
I was wondering if the "Ultimate Unbrick" was the problem...not in itself but i'm a Rogers Customer with a Rogers Version so maybe the "Ultimate Unbrick" is only made for AT&T....

Think there is a different version for at&t and rogers

Never saw a Rogers Version. Anyone can point it me out if so?

I'm Making Progress!!! (but still not booting)
Using this Package made specificly for Rogers Samsung Infuse 4G,
I Flashed the phone. It loader almost everything but the kernel....
So when it was loading the Kernel I Closed Odin and Rebooted the phone
(I know this is not recommended)
Now I got something Saying:
"Firmware Upgrade encoutered an issue.
Please select Recovery mode in Kies & try Again"
And I got an image of a phone and computer screen with a "!" sign in a yellow triangle in between
Thing I'm trying right now is to flash PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.tar.md5
separatly in odin. It's taking forever to load but it is loading (almost 45-50 minutes since i've started this attempt.
I'm gonna let it go no mather how long it take and i'll let you know as soon as it's done.
By the way, in Kies, when I wanted to try Emergency Recovery it said in a Popup screen:
"Please enter the recovery code from the previous PC
to run emergency recovery"
Is someone know what this mean and what is this recovery code and from witch previous pc it's talking about (never installed Kies on that PC and this phone never been connected to a kies enabled PC...

Phone is now working!!!!!!
My ROGERS infuse is now Back online...
So to resume
I've Flashed this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927
First time it stuck at kernel...
Attempted to Flash separately an alternate Kernel:
PDA_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.tar.md5 (It's the Infused Kernel)
Infused Kernel Failed to instal,
Then I've installed ADB all all the packages....
Then with Odin in XP compatibility (I have Win7 pro 64) I Flashed
The first package
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927)
That Time It went throught 100%
Phone Rebooted and i'm on the Stock Rogers ROM...
Now let's infuse this thing one more time ;-)
It took me 48 hours but I hope This post will help someone one day...
Don't forget it's for a SAMSUNG INFUSE 4G FROM ROGERS

I had the same exact problem as you, except it was with my AT&T Infuse.
My solution was to just keep trying to Odin to stock with GTG's Ultimate Unbrick. It kept freezing when I tried flashing. After unplugging/replugging the phone to my PC/Laptop with a few combinations I eventually got it to stop freezing and get all the way through the flashing process.

You are not totally bricked.
Repeat the instruction for GTG Unbrick on a different PC. I had the same issue and simply re-ran GTG on my Laptop. The " Phone/PC " screen showed a progress bar as I did the unbrick.
Hope this helps

Droid Charge unroot ODIN

I recently rooted the Droid Charge using ODIN, no issues. I have a custom kernel and I decided to try a rom and it was awful. Anyways went back to my Backup through CWM, no issues. My phone is now lagging beyond belief. I can't do anything at all. I really want to unroot. I know how to use ODIN and have experience with it. All i need is the .tar file for the factory restore. If anyone has a download link or a place that has one that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Have you checked the development section? They have every file you could need with instructions.

Yea i have found one for the samsung pst but i need one for odin samsung pst wont work on my crappy computer.

There are other threads on this issue, and it pretty much means that your internal memory is somehow corrupted.

John, not sure of your experience level or what you are trying to accomplish with that particular flash but make sure you have the basics covered. Correct and uncorrupt files. Phone in download and put battery back in and use of PDA in Odin.

I have read a few people were able to fix this by running Odin with pit file over and over till it worked also you could have used the cwm install zips to get back to stock those seem to have less issues

I can't get download mode.
My tablet was off... when I turned on, was on a bootloop. I couldn't get into recovery, then I've enter into download mode. I tried to flash a stock rom, but odin failed.
Then I lost download mode and the tablet only shows a phone, a triangle and a computer.
When I plug to charger, doesn't shows the battery icon, but battery charges.
Maybe this is a brick?...

I might not be able to help but you can, can you let us know what ROM/recovery/what you were doing before you turned off your tab and anything else you can think of that may be relevant
Thanks

It's download mode with a different interface Reflash your Tab, use Odin.

I've installed cyanogen 10.1 RC without problems. The tablet worked fine. Then I plugged the tablet to charge. When I took again the tablet (after 10 hours more or less) it was off.
In this mode (triangle, computer, phone), I'm trying flashing a stock rom. Without pit file, odin fails saying "write error", and with pit file and repartion checkbox marked sais "there's no pit partition".
Only way to turn off the tablet is quitting the battery. When I put again the battery, the tablet still is off; but when I try to turn on/get into download mode/get into recovery... only shows the triangle, phone and computer screen...
I think that my galaxy tab is bricked... :crying:

Try to go into download mode and flash a custom recovery using odin. I recommend CWM. Then try to go into recovery mode and wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset (NOTE: It will delete EVERYTHING and your tab will be like out of the box). Now try to boot into android, if android doesn't boots up then use odin to flash a custom rom or find a stock rom for your device and then your tablet should be fine.
Good luck :thumbup: and happy flashing .

Nothing...
I've tried Heimdall and doesn't detect my device. I've tried to install another one CWM and the same problem...
I've reinstalled the samsung drivers into 2 computers, differents usb ports... no recovery, no download mode and the charging icon (battery icon) doesn't appear (but charges).
I think my tab is dead... I don't know how more I can do it.
Thanks for the ideas

OK, first off, that screen is a FORCED DOWNLOAD MODE, it will happen for several reasons (usually a bad ROM flash), all you had to do was flash the stock .tar file via Odin.
Your first mistake was checking "repartition" in Odin, YOU NEVER EVER WANT TO DO THAT EVER, now since you didn't have a PIT hopefully it just cancelled out before doing anything bad. try reflashing in Odin with the stock ROM.
Heimdall will not work just because you have the drivers for Odin, infact Heimdall has it's own DRIVER that will override the Samsung driver Odin uses on the USB port (and usually any other USB on that stack) you connect the tablet to when you do the driver install step in Heimdall.
FYI, if you are on windows 8 there is a good chance you still can't do jack yet, to my knowledge windows 8 PC's are a no go for android ROM flashing.

The computers I've tried to flash with odin are with windows 8. But I flash my phone without problems...
Maybe with another windows version. I'll give a try this afternoon at home.
Thanks!!

Trying with a pc on windows xp and the same situation... odin sais allways the same...
I've put a pit file that I found called "signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit". I can't remember if I used another time... I'm not sure. But this last time I use it.
Could I do something more??...

YOU shouldn't EVER use a PIT file in Odin, especially if your not even sure it's the right one, using an incorrect PIT file can totally screw up your device.
The ONLY time you could ever need a PIT file is if you flashed a ROM that changed the format of the partition tables (like rfs to mtd or bml) which to my knowledge non of the ROM for these tablets do that.

Hrmmm... Have you tried to see if Samsung Kies can do anything about it?
I mean, really. Your system partition is corrupt so i doubt it can detect anything.
As a last resort could you open up the tab and pull out the battery? Or even let the battery completely run out?

I've already pulled out the battery many times. Letting the tab without battery at least 1 hour... 1 day... and when I plug it and try to access to download mode... only the same screen (triangle, phone and computer).
