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:
Hi all. I'm new to android, but not to modding. I've been with xda for a few weeks and have appreciated the quality of the posts and tutorials. Btw-I have searched the forums and google and am still soo lost.
Any help would be appreciated.
Goal:
-To get stock kd1
Previous Config:
-Black Ice KD1, CWM recovery red, voodoo lag fix, ext4 on all, Bali 3.2 no uv, Juwe ram script
-was previously overclocked using tegrak ultimate to 1.2ghz, but about a day before my error it had been put back to 1.0ghz and tegrak uninstalled.
What I did (error):
-Boot CWM red wipe data, cache, factory reset
-boot download mode, flash T959VKB5-Custom.tar with Odin 1.7
-Phone reboots into stock android recovery (3e)
-selecting reboot phone bring galaxy s splash, then back to recovery
-selecting reinstall packages; it looks for the update.zip but I keep getting verification failed
What I Know
-verification fails because im using default 3e recovery
-i need to use odin to flash a new kernel with the 2e recovery
What I'm confused about
-All kernels that I've found are .zip, odin takes .tar
-I cant use the .zip kernels because I cant install a package
-I cant install a package because verification fails
-verification fails because using 3e recovery
-cant flash kernel with 2e recovery because i dont know how!
So again all comments are appreciated. Thanks for reading.

your so use to having the recovery file already put into system/bin so you forgot to do it when you flashed kb5
you see after kd1 it was no longer needed to push the recovery file yourself because its been implemented in all the roms since
so look into krlons CWM final and push the recovery file into /system/bin
then try again you wont get the error

Thank you. This definately sounds like the answer I'm looking for. But how would i go about pushing the file to the system if I cant boot my phone?
Will droid explorer still do that?

I think it'd be easier to get a ROM like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696
It already comes rooted so you can throw in the custom recovery file, then go back to a completely stock build (I think that's what you want).
After you flash that rom with odin, get both the files in the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
You'll be able to get into CWM from there and that'll give you more flexibility.
You probably won't be able to get into download mode from the bootloop you're getting, so do a battery pull, then put the battery back in, hold down both volume keys, and while those are still pressed, press the power button. You should get a screen with a big yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, which you probably already know is download mode.
Thanks for the quick response. Worked like a charm until, only through impatience, come across another problem.
I was following the steps from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141550
-I got cwm, flashed ext4 converter, flashed black ice, and then i wanted to install bali 3.1
-By mistake i downloaded the non uv package to the sd card. So out of impatience pulled the sd card and dropped the uv one on their.
-not to my surprise cwm didnt see any changes. so i went to advance, then reboot recovery
Now my phone boots straight to galaxy s splash and stays there. I cant access cwm or download mode. Any ideas?
Did you have bali 2.1 or higher before flashing the ext4 converter? If you don't it will soft brick, from what I know. Flash odin and restart.

Check your mounts to make sure they are
Code:
unmount
mount
mount
unmount
You'll need to reflash a rom using odin though, you won't be able to use CWM until you do.
Thank you. worked great.
I've followed the instructions and the videos...I cannot get my Infuse to allow me to install a new ROM. I had a Captivate previously and flashed frequently. Tried to resist rooting & flashing but finally ran out of patience waiting for AT&T.
So I have root. I've copied the recovery file from the SDCard to the /system/bin...made sure the permissions were all copied from the original recovery. I reboot into recovery and re-install packages.
I then downloaded ROMManager and installed. Reboot into Recovery (3e) and re-install packages which then brings me to the green font CWM. If I choose to install zip from SD I don't specifically see any errors on the screen, but I end up getting brought back to 3e reboot...which never goes anywhere.
I haven't been able to find much help on this searching...I can't be the only one having this issue.
Flash community kernel through Odin and you'll have fully working recovery...flash...wait til it starts to boot....pull battery...replace batt ...hold vol up, vol down and power til Samsung logo appears and let go and it will boot into red CWM then your good to flash away

What I would do is go into cmw ( hold power button +volume down ) mount your phone to PC / laptop, re-download the .zip to flash, factory reset then wipe cache then wipe dalvic cache then flash the ROM again .
If I helped you, push the thanks button for goodness sakes!
the thing is, i cant. it stays inn that screen in the "LG" screen it wont even go into recovery
Never use rom manager to install a rom, it doesn't work on our phone.
You need to install clockwork mod (also known as CWM, I can't stand people calling it CMW because that doesn't make any sense) by using NVFlash. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 I recommend installing 5.0.2.0
From clockwork mod you can install and ROMs you want.
I just installed ROM Manager and Clockworkmod on my phone. I downloaded the MIUI ROM and installed it. The phone rebooted but is stuck at the LG splash screen. When I try to get into Clockwork Recovery it just shows the image of a box and android with an arrow pointing to the android. Then the phone reboots... Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I'm kinda new to ROMs and don't know much about the topic. Any help would be appreciated.
You need to use NVFlash to flash CWM. ROM manager doesn't actually change the recovery partition, so the volume down+ power button shortcut still activates the stock recovery

Thanks! I'll try it out.
Didn't you read the guide on how to flash clockwork mod for this phone? Or did you just hastily assume that all phones can use ROM manager and gave it a shot?
