One last cry for help for my Infuse 4G (Rogers)

One last cry for help before I honestly take this phone in my garage and go to town on it with a sledge hammer!!!!
I bought this used Infuse 4G (Rogers). But I can't do I clean wipe to get rid of the previous owner's information, this google account is driving me crazy , it keeps trying to login to the guy's account and putting in my own google account doesn't do any good either because it still asks for the original account's password when i try accessing the market. So, a clean wipe/factory reset would be the ideal thing to do i believe. A traditional Factory Reset through Setting>Privacy>Factory Reset would just freeze my phone on a multi-colored screwed up screen and nothing happens until i reflash. Trying to wipe through ROM Manager (manual management) also does the exact same thing.
I am currently on this rom ..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1193927 .... Its the only one that works besides the AT&T 2.3.5 (but i can't root that one).
Anyways, people have suggested gtg_ultimate_unbrick, but all that does is freezes my phone on the black samsung screen.
Please guys, I know this can be done .... But I'm not exactly an expert, as a matter of fact, I'm a noob to Android phones.....lol

where does it freeze when you do the ultimate unbrick. Did it simply not boot after you odin'ed back to stock?

If you are rooted you can't and on a ron you can't do a manual factory reset. Boot into recovery wipe factory and cache and dalvik then flash a rom or Odin back to stock then you'll be good

Okay so to the next order of buisness you said its a rogers infuse so since its a different build and firmware do yyou have to use different kies and aa different unbrick to stock method
Holy MIUI Batman!

So I did so searching rooting the roger infuse is different than regular go to the search bar and type in root for rogers there a thread by gtg how to flash stock kernel "doesn't unroot" but it might help u in your situation I sent gtg a message for you on how to unroot to stock for rogers when he gets back to me ill let you know

Can you boot into CWM? Because if your on a leak, you need a kernel that will give you CWM... I replied to your other post and you didn't even reply back.

Odd that you still have there account after flasHing roms unless you did a backup and restore with cwm or titanium.
Have you tried a factory reset from settings> privacy? This will wipe the internal sd card so backup any media or other files on it to the external one.

Stool of this was very weird, there is no reason a Rogers infuse should have multi color junk or broken recovery. I'll bet the last owner tried to flash something they shouldn't have. Glad it got to a point that you can use it though. Hope it is the last issues you have with it.

Help NEEDED - semi bricked phone- yes I searched lots 5 hours trying to fix

FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
Hello Everyone,
Problem: Infuse will boot up and you see the ATT screen then 2 seconds later it sits on the SAMSUNG screen.
I have tried just about everything posted. I even tried the Infuse unbrick Odin pkg.
I CAN get into download mode. I can flash with ODIN. But upon reboot the phone goes back to the SAMSUNG screen.
How did I get here?
I had was running ZEUS. I had the issue with ppl not hearing me unless I turned speakerphone on and off for every call. I did a master reset. I had an issue with something else so I tried using a CWM flashable file which caused the problems needing the master reset.
I have tried many things but I am stuck.
I am trying to get an ODIN kernel that is moded like the V8 community kernel BUT all the links are broken.

Seems obvious to a rookie like me, but shouldn't you just use GTG's ultimate unbrick back to D5 stock and go from there?

I think I can get it working again with a kernel that will convert to ext4.
I can not get into the phone to delete or change the voodoo lagfix.
It seems that the boot partition is not working right.
I can flash with ODIN the unbrick file and it will install but upon reboot still stuck at samsung screen. I can NOT get into recovery either.
WTF? Did I make a brick?
Someone has to know how to fix this

Dude.. if you can't figure this out with those links that I posted, then I don't think that I can help you.. I can somehow manage to odin myself and bring myself back to a rom with those files and the respective rom. And I know that there are other people that can too... good luck bro.. I'm done..
Edit: May I suggest this?
Edit 2: Actually, if you need the 3e recovery file. I just remembered that you need that too. Haven't seen a mirror posted for that. Maybe that is the element that you are missing? If it is lemme know..

It is really quite on xda today

Flash any GB kernel that's rooted, but uncheck reboot.
Then try to boot to recovery.

I am well aware of using this stuff. I flashed many phones and tablets hence why I like Samsung.
Yes, can you provide me the 3e Recovery ODIN file.
That would be a good thing to try.

I can only use ODIN files because I can ONLY get into download mode. I can NOT get into recovery to use any CWM files.
I have been trying to find ODIN kernel files but the ones available the download links are broken and I pm'd the OP as well as others that need the files but still no luck yet.
Can someone please post an ODIN kernel for me to try.
Edit:
Just to be clear I have now flashed the Unbrick ROM several times. It will load up and install. I get a green pass in ODIN but on reboot I see the ATT screen then stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have started to flash odin kernels from my captivate and tablet. They do get past the ATT screen and no Samsung screen but all I see is grainy stuff all over SO that tells me that changes are being made. I just need to try with an INFUSE ODIN kernel that might convert to ext4. I think that will solve the problem.

btw- thanks for the help...I am just ticked trying to get my phone to work.
I just need one damn file or small command to wipe the phone so it will take the stuff we are trying to push.

FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.

I went through the same thing about a month ago on mine... I eventually found the same file you did... it was a pain and since then if I've bricked I've flashed ultimate unbrick then flashed stock Rogers and it resolves my issue... I keep both saved on my computer now

Simple Fix...
Use. GTG's ultimate unbrick.
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?i57410xodydx5l1
Follow the easy steps.
This will bring to how you bought the phone.
SECOND to all with BLACK screens.
Turn off the phone using power and volume up and down.
While plugging in the phone to the USB. Release power button.
This may take multiple tried, but you will get the download screen eventually.
Its all about timing.
YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BE BRICKED.
The down loader is not on the internal memory,
it is on a FLASH ROM separate from everything else.

People need to remember that not everyone is using AT&T Infuse, gotta clarify that before posting guides.
And yeah keep the stock rogers rooted rom on your desktop, comes in handy for a quick return to stock if anything goes wrong.

yea i tried superwiping again and then it failed in odin but is working fine with ics,but need to go back to stock.i did every step correctly to try to go back like 6 times 4 attempts were succesful and 2 weren't after i superwiped again,after i super wiped it just get stuck on rogers logo.the attempts that were good didnt go past the android setup though.

i have been there before did you atleast try to odin more then once, and you should try redownloading the files maybe you got a bad download of odin and the pda files

Wipe user data and cache and reboot. Do you boot into UCLB3? If not, the flash didn't complete and we have more troubleshooting to do. Also, let us know your goal. Which ROM do you want to run? Rooted stock UCLB3 or something else?

Wife's phone stuck at boot up screen

I rooted and put a octane 2.x rom on her phone 9 months ago. Today she said everything started acting up. Radio quit, would not connect. All the apps force closed. She kept getting an error saying GoLauncher needs to be re-installed so she went back to the ics launcher that comes with the room. No apps would work at all.
I came home and booted into recovery (Clockwork) and tried to do a restore. Now it's stuck at the boot up screen. I've done a battery pull and it still does it. This is not my phone and I'm not well versed with it. It took me 11 hours root/rom it last June.
I do not know adb shell. I tried, but I just don't think I have a strong enough computer background. I've rooted my old Thunderbolt, my Transformer Prime and her phone.
If I could get to recover I'd do a wipe and re-install the rom. I still have Heimdall, but I do not remember how to use it. I bricked it when I rooted it the first time, that's why it took so long.
I will be searching while this thread is up. She needs her phone ASAP b/c she interviewed for a job today and she's expecting/hoping for a call.

Follow the guide in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Basically put your phone in download mode and click on one of Heimdall versions to get your phone back to factory. Click on the bootloader option as well in Heimdall.

Is there an option to NOT go back to factory un rooted? It took me so much time to root it, I don't want it to all be a waste. Stock rooted would be fine.

There is a heimdall version that will get you rooted and factory. Flash that version. That version was by eollie, in the second post, second link. Or you can flash the Heimdall stock rom and later flash with Heimdall AntonX kernel to get it rooted. All in the link above, so read it all the way down.

I give no credit until it's been proven. You'd [apparently] be amazed at how many people brick their phones or get exactly what you just described by flashing our ROMs on the wrong phones.
