[Q] **HELP** Infuse stuck at SAMSUNG logo

I'm a noob and I tried to install 3e recovery using the instructions and video supplied in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105413
Everything seemed to work fine until I went into ROM manager and tried to backup current ROM (stock, rooted). I selected backup ROM and now my phone is sitting with the SAMSUNG logo and it hasn't moved from that in almost an hour. I'm not sure what to do to get the phone to boot up normally. I have done a battery pull but that didn't work. When I plug the phone into my computer, XP does recognize that is plugged in because it shows the internal and external sd cards in the My Computer window. I can't open either on by double clicking on the icon for each drive. I'm getting pretty desperate because I can't seem to figure out how to get the phone to boot normally. Any help and/or suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!!!

Odin flash to stock in dev section

try a hard reset. you shouldnt pull batteries unless it is the last resort, linux needs to unmount the file system.
a hard reset(different from a factory reset) is accomplished by holding the vol up +vol dn + power at the same time untill the phone reboots. if you wait till the samsung screen pops up again and immediately release you may also enter 3e recovery mode.
try to just boot the phone into the ui first. if it is still ok, go into rom manager and "flash cwm recovery" choose captivate or i9000. reboot into 3e recovery(blue text), (select reboot recovery not backup) reinstall packages twice! you should now be at a green text cwm recovery. once you get it setup the backup link in rom manager should work.
if the phone fails to boot up after a hard reset, you can attemp to clear user data in 3e recovery. you can get to 3e with phone off(you may pull battery now if you need to) hold vol up+ vol dn + pwr and hold untill you see the "samsung" screen. then you can clear data/factory reset
if that doesn't help you can still use odin/heimdall to restore the phone with one of the roms that may already have modded 3e recovery and other nice features.

Thanks for all your help! I managed to get it back working using Odin. Now I'm on the Infused ROM and loving life. I'm going to save this post just in case I get into trouble again down the road.

This is an old useless method... just Odin flash the community kernel v8... done..

I have had that same boot screen problem too, buy a jig and u can put it into download mode that way then when you use odin3 to restore stock, u can get the stock rom with the recovery in it for u and u just need to download the update.zip on rom manager and then go into recovery and run the update zip twice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
You should get a jig (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...dkw=jig&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) its a life saver in my opinion. because u can restore ur phone if u ever mess up.

I too am stuck at the Samsung logo. I've used Odin to revert to stock but I think the Stock I reverted to was AT&T rather than Rogers? I can't seem to find the Rogers stock. I've tried to get it into recovery mode, taking out the battery booting with power up and down, releasing power when the Samsung logo came up - no good, the logo stays. I'm at a loss? Any advice? Is the a full raft of pit / pda etc files for Odin that I can make the Rogers Infuse as it was day one?
Thanks for any help

I'm in the same boat... maybe it's because the rogers infuse comes as android 2.3? I hope a solution comes out soon!

Same here, Rogers Infuse. Stuck at Samsung logo. Tried infuse odin recovery, and community. Still no go. I tried flashing all the different stock/unbrick roms but nothing.
However, if I install Infused kernel/recovery, i can access the recovery and do a wipe/lagfix.

I was trying to flash to Infused and when I got to the step where the phone rebooted to CWM recovery it hang on the Samsung logo. After about 3 hours of trying various button resets the phone booted normally (ie not to CWM). They say the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results, well I went back through the same steps to flash to infused and again it froze on the Samsung logo, only I have no idea what I did last time to get it to boot normal, not to CWM. Since it did it before, there must be a combination...anybody know what it might be. I've read and tried everything on the forums. Thought I'd post here prior to using Odin. I am able to get to downloading screen by doing the button/USB cable combo.
I'm headed out of town and won't check this right away, but thanks for any posts with ideas.

Rogers Infuse users need to use the UXKG3 unbrick, not the UCKD5 or E3 unbricks.
The UXKG3 variant tends to fall to the second or third pages of the dev forum since it's far less commonly used.

Holy Crap - im hooped without my phone for work...!
reposting in new thread

Hi guys,
Here is the solution for this issue.
Just flash with this package that will totally reset your Infuse 4G to UCKJ4, do it with linux that worked for me.
Thanks to AdamOutler

The few last posts have mirrors. You are gonna need the odin pack to flash back to stock and then work your way up.
You need to flash ICS before flashing JB.

Infuse 4G wont boot - no root, CWM, Passcode locked
Hi guys
I dont know where to start from. This Infuse 4G was dropped by the owner and we happened to come across it.
Checked the SIM card but that was already deactivated and there were no contacts on it.
Then we wanted to check the phonebook and find someone to contact, but the phone was passcode locked.
Then i went and flashed Odin_Community_Kernel_v8.zip since it was on GB, but it doesnt seem to be booting. I was planning on adb-ing into it when it was in recovery (CWM) so that i could delete the passcode and find a way to get in touch with the owner.
Now am stuck at the Samsung logo...:crying:

[Q]Can't boot into recovery at after installing MIUI 1.9.30

Simply put, I can't boot into recovery after installing MIUI 1.9.30.
Three finger method won't work (holding volume keys and power) *no one lecture me how to do this method either, I know the proper method to do this and have done it hundreds of times* Going through the software method through the ROM itself won't work, and neither will reinstalling Clockwork via ROManager. So in other words, I'm stuck and have no idea what to do.
Any ideas?

worked for me

Okay so if you were one of the few people who lost recovery for some weird reason "ME" no need to unbrick to stock and re-flash I have a solution.
1: Download sgs kernel flasher
2: Download CWM community kernel
3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

if you're running miui, try posting in the miui Q/A, you might get more help.
Sounds odd that you would lose recovery like that.
idk..you can try downloading "quickboot" from the market.
it has some extended power menu options, including recovery.
if you lost recovery somehow, odin or heimdall will be your friend.
see my sigs

Its common many have lost the recovery including ME when flashed MIUI, check the OP of the MIUI thread by boost there is how you can get the recovery back.

[Q] Problem stucking at Samsung Logo after Flashing.

Recently bought a Samsung Galaxy SL I9003, Successfully rooted then tried to install some custom ROM. Got to have XXKPH so I Flashed it with Odin (XXKPM Previously).
After Flashing, Just stuck at the screen with the Samsung Logo after the animation plays. Nothing else.
I tried googling that they said have to untick the Re-Partition while Flashing but problem not solve eventhough after i reflash it....

In Dev Sub-forum
There is a Guide on GB update. Refer to it.

Is my phone Brick or what ? I even tried to flash CF universal root and it now don't even plays the animation . just the Samsung Logo ....
Is it repairable ?

Off your phone, hold volume up+ home+ power buttons and boot into recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache anand dalvik cache. It should boot

Yes u are right. Wipe up everything. Then flash a new rom via odin.

if the wipe does not work... thats the time you flash the new rom via odin

hello, it's called soft brick, so what i suggest that you get an stock rom from here also the guide how to flash it in there too thanks to <Misledz> here is the trike part when odin is done flashing and also stuck on logo long press power button, until the phone turns off now press vol up+home button+ power button the logo shows release the power and keep pressing the rest. will logo on stock recovery menu do a factory rest and wipe cache then reboot device. now u are in hope so.
root your device here is the guide here
then install the custom rom you want

Help!!!!! Phone won't boot

I flashed a zip, and now my phone won't boot! When I press power and volume down, it doesn't boot into recovery either! Like it vibrates twice but then just doesn't boot! Please help!!!!

I was also running cm10 liquidsmooth, and when I try to boot to recovery it just vibrates twice and the screen shows the samsung logo for like teo seconds. Then the screen just goes blank. I seriously need help!

Can you give a little more information, like how you went about the installation, your source for information and if your root worked properly the first time you did it on stock

It's the whole volume rocker (volume up and down) and the power button, to get into the recovery. Release the power button when it vibrates but keep holding the volumes until your in the recovery.
And make sure you do full wipes when switching roms, wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache, and system. Or run Blackhole System Wipe.

When I hold on both volume buttons and press the power button and release it, it just flashes the samsung logo and the screen goes blank.
Basically everything has been working right before, everything was fine. The rom worked perfectly. After I flashed a zip (not a rom, it was just a camera app) I hit reboot in the cwm and then it just wouldn't boot, not into recovery either.

Try holding all of them for a minute or two. Sometimes it takes a bit. From what you have said nothing should have borked your cwm. If all else fails, there's always the option to use Odin to reflash back to stock or reflash cwm.
Stock

Cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591622

I always hold all three until the samsung logo appears, then I release the power button. When CWM comes up I release the volume buttons.
If you can still boot your ROM you should just use terminal emulator. (Download it from the play store if you don't have it on your rom). *requires root*
Type su
confirm root access.
then type "reboot recovery"
That should do it...
OR...
You could just ODIN CWM back on your phone if something got corrupted...

I used odin and followed the instructions.... but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.

oh thank goodness, I flashed CWM through odin again and it worked. Thank you all.
