I have an Infuse 4g and I tried putting CyanogenMod on it...but I messed everything up. It won't turn on or go into Recovery mode. I can't use Ordin3 to unbrick it (if it is) because it won't turn on. The USB cable doesn't start charging it at all. I can give you guys any more info you need. I really need to fix this fast.
Bricked

I also have one of these.. maybe with all the members on here, we could build a wall.
You can unbrick it if you have fastboot on your pc.
First you have to be in bootloader mode, you can do that using volume down + power button (it may vary between android versions), then you plug in the usb cable and wait for the computer to install bootloader drivers. On win7 it's called android 1.0 when it's searching for drivers.
Then you flash boot and recovery images to the device using "fastboot flash (partition, specifically boot and recovery) (image location)".
After that you either restore a backup, or flash another rom through recovery.
But you shouldn't be able to boot current rom since it's incompatible.

Hi Guys;
I did some stupid thing to my phone.
I decided to flash ICS 4.0.4 on my phone using fastboot. after I done I notice that i flash the wrong bootloader and boot.img. so I return to bootloader mode again to flash everything back, but i dont have cwm and adb cant find my device, because the usb debugging is not enable. just want to know can some tell me what to do? I really need my phone .
Thanks
Why were u flashing a new bootloader in the first place...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Does the phone boot at all? I guess the big question is that if the phone boots and functions I wouldn't bother changing the boot loader out again. If you really want to, and the phone can boot you can reenable USB debugging in settings..
Anyway try this to get into the bootloader:
Power the Nexus S down, and hold Volume Up & the Power button until booted into the bootloader. You should see a white screen with three skating androids.
source; http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide
Power off phone. Now Hold Vol. Up + Power. Plug it into your computer and use fastboot to reinstall CWM (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img). Now go straight into recovery, mount USB, copy a new ROM over, do your standard wipes and flash the new ROM. Now reboot. If this doesn't work, try flashing an official stock FULL ROM, 2.3.6 or 4.0.3. There is a stickied thread in general with them all.
Hi! Sorry about this rude way but I am in an emergency situation.
I have a ZTE RACER with Android 2.2.2 (official ZTE Frimware) which it keeps rebooting at the splash screen.
Before that, I did a root using SuperOneClick 2.3.3 by Shortfuse. After following the instructions (USB debug, plug-in, root) I've rebooted the phone normally (NOT with adb), and when it got after the ZTE Logo (the first one, not the splash screen and not the Android logo). The animation goes a little and freezes for a few seconds, then restarts automaticly (but not entirely, just repeats the splash screen) and reboot. Rance and repeat! I tried to unroot, but the app hangs, restarting with adb and nothing happens. adb restart command doesn't help that much. What should I do to fix it?
Additional info:
Phone recives adb commands normally.
Possibly Superuser app was leftover before unrooting and rooting again (yes I already did root, but superuser stoped working properly afer app and su files update)
Can't go to FTM Mode, ROM Manager gave me a broken CWM.
Unsure If I can install CWM manually since SD doesn't seem to get mounted.
Phone Info:
ZTE-RACER
Android 2.2.2 (FROYO_P2XXGV_V1.0.0_B2)
CWM 5.0.x (Installed with ROM Manager. Broken.)
Carrier: GR COSMOTE (that's unknown carrier for you.)
Thanks for any help.
P.S.: Does anyone here is greek and has a ZTE RACER with the official 2.2 upgrade? I need the FTM Mode.
From what you have said, it seems like you are in a soft brick not a hard one. This means that there is chance of recovery but you have to be very careful.
You weren't rude so don't worry bout that.
You may want to try a hard reset.
Now that we have identified the problem, you have the ability to try and find it yourself at least.
It is possible to manually flash the generic default 2.2 and this will restore your device.
or
turn off your phone and then press power button and volume up button.Programing will open and there is a option of reset and restore.By using volume button go to reset and restore option and then press power button and home key programing will start and your phone will reset.
Hit thanks if you found this useful.

For the first one, I don't know how since the only way I had was to reflash it with the 1-Click Update (I did that on my ZTE MF636 3G Modem).
About the second, you mean that I must use the adb command, or I just hold it down without connecting it (I am newbie to the Android), but thanks for the help. I'll keep you posted for the results.
(NOTE: 1-click update is the offline frimware updater made by ZTE.)
if the logo appears look for a solution, if nothing happens buy a new one because is a full brick

Logo appears but... I still don't get it.
Was that for CWM? Or for the phone?
CWM is broken by the ROM Manager. After installing, I tried to get in, but it got frozen to the Android logo + the red led is on. (Temporal brick).
Should I flash a working CWM to the phone?
Anyone?
If there is a working CWM recovery .img file for your device, flash that using fastboot.

a) I am not sure if it works but for sure it doesn't come from ROM Manager.
b)Where do I find fastboot and what's the command?
Anyone, please?
I think you get it when you install the SDK, along with ADB. You put your phone into fastboot mode, plug the USB into your computer, and use fastboot flash_image to flash the .img file to your device's recovery partition.
If you can boot your device into fastboot mode, search for "Android Flash Recovery" by Bill.Weckel (Windows only). That'll be the easiest way.

This command doesn't work. Is it fastboot flash recovery [image_file]?
Will somebody please help me out!
Here is the thread for Android Flash Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723
Doesn't work! It does detect it, but it can't flash it (on normal boot only. On recovery/bootloader it just getting bricked). Any other options? Or I have to send it for reflashing?
So basically I rooted my LG p500h and installed a ROM through ROM manager, the thing is that when I rebooted the device I got stuck at the analog to the Android logo that shows up after the LG logo. I flashed an stock ROM through KDZ update software but after the program did it's thing, I did hard reset the phone and got the same problem: won't boot up and forever stuck at the android logo. I can get to emergency mode tho and when usb connected will show the battery charging up. I have searched solutions and I haven't reached one yet so everyone told me to post here and ask for some help! I hope it's not the end of my device Any help is sincerly appreciated!

Much as I hate to say it, ROM Manager is not friendly to our devices. Secondly, stay away from KDZ too. But don't panic. You do have options. You will need to use either ADB and dd commands, or fastboot and fastboot mode. Since you can't boot, most likely the ADB way won't work ATM. Both methods require either the ADB binaries or the Android SDK. An alternate method would be Android Flash Recovery. There is a link in my signature. There are complete instructions in the download. On thing, put the device in fastboot mode before connecting it to the PC.
Enter into emergency mode, BACK+VOL UP+POWER
then follow this guide to flash recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15217609&postcount=3
After that enter into recovery, HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER
then wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache, format system then flash a rom of your choice like oxygen, cm9 present in development section.
Then reboot

Odd enough, I plugged in the device to the computer after the USB drivers got installed (following all the instructions given by the files provided), I went to the bathroom and left the cell phone unattended, just to find it boot up! weird. Anyways your advice was very helpful and very clear! Now I will figure out how to get my old ROM for my country. Thanks again!
Some infos.
One Plus 6
Unlocked bootloader
Rooted
Yesterday my Phone got stuck in boot animation, so i started the recovery mode and reseted my phone (with system) bcuz i wanted to do it anyways.
Later i tryed to boot to twrp to install a new system, but there was an issue something like there is no recovery disk.
now i stuck in fastboot, cant even turn it off. Every option just brings me into the boot loader pleaase help me
Thanks
Power off phone. while holding the volume down button plug the usb cord into a computer. Download the tool here and follow the instructions to get the drivers installed and the tool working. The phone will seem like it's off but it is actually on. Run the tool and your phone will be as good as new with locked boot loader and all.
easy peasy like this:

So I bricked my device again. *applause*
What Happened?
Flashed CWM using Odin
Booted into CWM Recovery
Deleted everything - /data, /sys, and most definitely the battery stats (I know that frustrated look on your face)
Rebooted *mwahahaha*
Output:
Stuck at boot logo
Can't boot into recovery anymore
Can't go into download mode either for unknown reasons (apart from faulty side buttons)
Odin shows COM1 port but can't establish connection when I try flashing and booting CWM (we know why; we haven't gone into download mode have we?!)
Stuck at boot logo
Stuck a-
Discovered solutions:
Strategy is to try going into EDL by hook or by crook. So we take the device apart (done), press on the power key and volume down key with a screw driver (done), and boot into download mode (done)
Flash CWM again via Odin
Reboot into Recovery (DOES NOT WORK)
It's probably because SAMSUNG does a battery check before the boot. And finds absolute garbage.
So my question is, is there a way to flash the entire firmware as a whole (including modem images, battery shiz and all that) VIA ODIN? This one solution if available will settle the whole puzzle for me.

I think ( yes think because I am not an expert ??!!! ) th problem is with recovery. Why don't you try again with different version of CWM. If still not, try TWRP.

(Sorry ! Read your post more carefully and am replying ) yes you can flash entire firmware via odin. What you actually did was you wiped out the whole system. Well try to install any recovery and you can also install a custom rom of android 7 ( the latest for our tab but outdated too ).
