Stay away from rom manager and the kf 2.3.3 leaks. Both are bad news. Put your phone into download mode and Odin one of the 2.3.5 leaks.

yeah but i think i just mess up i went back to odin 1.70 now it install an orgin gb rom but when i did that i left the re-partition box check did i mess up tyhat was suppose to be uncheck right

now i have gb installed 2.3.3 i have no network now, lol what do i have to do lol

That's what version of ODIN I'm using, too. It almost sounds like you were on a voodoo enabled file system and didn't disable voodoo before flashing a non-voodoo ROM. I had a similar problem & had issues.
If you were going from Froyo to GB, I would suggest installing KG4 ((http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413) as I *think* it was the first GB ROM to come with the proper boot loaders. After that, you should be able to flash other GB ROMs.
Try getting into download mode by removing the battery, plugging the USB cable in, holding down both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time, then put the battery back in. That should get you there.

ok i cant go back in download mode it keep going back to battery charging is there any other way and im not rooted anymore

Yeah, download the Android development kit from Android.com. Make sure your phone is on & plugged in via USB & that you have the USB drivers installed. Once installed, open a command prompt & CD to the "platform-tools" directory where the dev kit indtalled. then type "adb reboot download" & the phone should reboot into download mode.
As I recall, download mode via the vol up & down gets fixed once you have the GB boot loaders installed.

Not sure. What you may want to do is a "Factory data reset". Go into the phone settings, Privacy, & hit factory data reset. Keep in mind, though, that you will lose your text messages, phone contacts, and other settings for the phone (like display settings, etc). If your phone contacts are synched with T-Mobile then they should come back onto the phone all on their own once it syncs.
I had to do that a few times to get my phone acting right after flashing a new ROM.
Also, go into Settings, About Phone, and see what the Firmware Version, Baseband Version, Kernel Version, & Build Number say & let us know.

[Q] First time root by odin!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
most likely, but I don't use kies for anything, not even backing up files. I do that simply by making a copy of whatever I want to save and putting it on my computer via the sd card.

Don't use KIES! A simple file backup to your computer and a backup created with titanium backup on your sd card that can be simply saved on your computer are by far enough to save your files, apps, app data like settings as well as system settings.
If you what you go a step further you can create a nandroid backup, or image, however this is called. Imagine this as a system image that can be restored in case of boot loop, etc.
My Phone Explorer is also a very good piece of software. Can replace the contact editing functions of KIES. It is also able to make you phone calling contacts, writing SMS on your computer with your phone. It can edit your calendar, create notes, browse, run and install apps, browse all files on your phone that are acessable without root.

Guys i don't use kies to backup! I mainly use it for connecting and transferring data like apk's!

Guys any help? I followed all instructions but it did not root! Instead now wen i power it on it shows me a phone and computer with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark between it! Is my phone bricked? I can't boot into download mode as well as recovery mode! Pls help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pull out battery and restart phone again normally. If it start then try to go to recovery or download mode.

Bricked phone CM9??

Got a little question, any help would be verrry appreciated, uh I flashed cm9 on my infuse 4g from a red cwm and when I rebooted it got stuck on the samsung boot like it said it does, I battery pulled n retried it but it didnt boot up, so I booted into cwm recov. and it was all messed up, like a scrambled TV channel... I can't see anything, I tried to restore a backup just like from memory but it didnt work, I'm not sure which cwm version is used on cm9, but then I try to put it into odin mode and it doesnt go, can't connect to the cpu, doesnt go into odin mode, jus goes str8 to samsung screen and freezes. Anyone got any ideas? The scrambled cwm, from what I can make out, looks like its the one with the grey background... ne1 kno if thats the recovery cm9 comes with? Maybe I could restore my backup if I knew exactly how many times to press the volume up & down rockers and all that... idk. Again, any input'd b much appreciated

Sounds like you're still on GB bootloader..use Heimdall One Click by Qkster once flashed and return to stock GB rom then repeat procedure with tick mark on Flash Bootloader after that flash Entropy's kernel (all provided in the link) to get into red cwm then you can flashed your ICS rom after that.

Typo...I'm sure you meant he's not on GB boot loaders
Also to use Odin/heimdal you have to go to download mode not recovery
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up+down and plug in USB with out pressing power button
4) run Odin/heimdall

Don't remember exactly and don't have a windows computer in front of me
But, plug your phone as if you were going to download mode
Don't unplug it even if it doesn't go to DL mode
Go to "my computer"
I think you go to system properties
There should be a thing under system properties for hardware, drivers or it might be advanced...don't really remember
Locate the infuse under usb ...it will probably be gadget serial, or something like that...to ease the process disconnect all other USB that way only your phone shows up
Double click it that should open up a window of the driver settings
Uninstall the drivers
Unplug your phone, go to the ISET page which is sticked in the dev section and download the infuse drivers (don't use kies...)
Its not necessary but i like to reboot after installing new drivers
Now try to connect to download mode
Good luck, I'll try and clarify those steps later

3. Connect your phone while pressing volume up with the Pc (I guess u have lg Drivers installed)
4. Wait and see if you hear sth (like 3 or more sounds) or if you phone enter in S/W mode.
5. reply again

No sounds......But it enters S/W mode....but nothing happens.......what should i do?

Im also worried that the battery will die....will it be charged while in S/W mode?

You gotta format your internal memory from within the ROM. Boot your device then Go to settings/storage/format internal sd. It should be okay. If you can't find the settings try pressing menu button while in the homescreen. In the menu press settings and it should run.

Try to flash another gingerbread Kernel. If you cant enter recovery, but you can enter fastboot mode then try: fastboot flash (Drag and Drop the boot.img to shell) and press enter.

Turn off your phone then turn on your phone while holding 3D button and vulume up or down ( not sure which one ) and power button as son as the screen turns on free all of them then you should see the android icon wait till you enter the recovery mode there format every thing.
I hope this will work
And it would do the trick

[Q] Samsung Infuse 4g Stuck in Bootloop after Root

I updated the phones ROM and rooted it perfectly. In the process of the newest rom update, while in Clockword recovery mode - wipe data was accidentally selected, in the middle of the data wipe I tried to save the phone by removing battery. Now its stuck in bootloop, Recovery mode doesn't even come up, but I succeeded in getting the phone into Download Mode, but it has the Triangle up with CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES(2 COUNTS) and CURRENT BINARY :CUSTOM. I have used Odin to try to install the Stock Att version, still no luck. as of now the phone is bricked, and can only get it into download mode. Can somebody please help? Ill die if I can't fix this phone, and Just so you know, I don't have a USB jig to delete the custom binary files. Is that the only way I can get the phone to actually turn on and function? Help plz Im freakin here...

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /dbdata your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for forma and reboot actions.

Try using heimdall, go to download mode with that triangle.

Thank you so much, my phone is working now. I just have to find a way to reset the binary download count(get rid of the yellow triangle) without purchasing a USB jig. Any suggestions? Im trying to update firmware to ICS and then Jelly bean. I tried flashing it to a newer version(ics), but then the phone goes back into bootloop (i think bc of flashing it to ics, then jelly bean, and then back to a rooted stock verison), so I have to keep using the rooted stock firmware. Any suggestions? Thank you btw

Getting to download mode is all the USB jig does. U can get it with out one. I believe if u hold down volume and plug in cable. Its something like that I forget. And a return to stock using heimdall or Odin should fix anything

im having troubles too!!
i have a similar problem myself. I rooted my infuse it has cwm9 and ics. but for some reason the phone cuts off and starts boot looping. i cant get it in download mode or recovery. took the battery out put it back in and its starts doing it without touching the power button. ive beat and banged on it still nothing but the loop. this is the longest it has done it, usually it would quit after a few minutes but its going on 24 hours now. any help would be awesome!!!

Try holding the volume up and the volume down (but not the power button) with the USB plug already in the phone and hooked up to the computer and then insert the battery. If you don't get into download then you either need a jig or have a power button problem.

Can get into download mode,
I am able to get into download mode, Ive flashed the OS a number of times back to stalk, then tried ICS, and jelly bean, and I still get the same error message I got at the beginning of this post. But I was able to reset the Binary counter, if I could get my phone to work again I would literally pay somebody to help me....I know it is possible to get it back up and running, it's just a complicated process it seems. Help please!

Chainfire had a program called Triangle Away. Do a search but be careful, it might not work with Infuse and you could get a real brick.

i have bricked my infuse many times, and xda members always have been helpful to me
i am now that the point of believing that my infuse is un-brick-able, so I am writing down my instruction as a noob for you
A/ Preparation in your computer:
1. Install/Update Java (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp) and Get the driver for the Samsung ready (download and install Kies software at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I997ZKAATT)
2. download Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
3. Download SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
4. Download: CM-9-20120620 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
5. Download: CWM-community-kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
6. Download a rom and gapps ( i use the AvatarROM and Gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227)
*connect your phone to the computer and copy and paste the 4, 5, 6 items into your sd card
* i am not so sure where you are at, but maybe you don't need flash the cm-9
what you need to do:
a. pull out the battery, put it back on, holding down both the volume buttons while plug in the use cord, the other end of the usb already plug in the computer, that would put you to the download mode
b. by now your computer would be noticing the phone is connected, you then click the Heimdall at 2 above to turn it on (read that thread so you can know what to expect) if you have the drive and the phone is really connected, then, you can click "flash" and the Heimdall will do it job - don't do anything the phone will be rebooting itself back to stock (in the thread, the dev. said you might need to flash two times, but in my case, I only did once and it worked right away)
c. be happy with result for a while, then you put the phone back to download mode and flash the Entropy Heimdall at 3 above, your phone will get the red recovery if things go the way it should
d. then you wipe everything (maybe no need but whatever... after bricking your phone, it doesn't hurt to spend a min. to do this), 2 wipes at the main red recovery and then go to advance and wipe advik catch and battery state .. i would do every wipe 2 times ... and also select the "fix permissions" in there too
e. then you flash the cwm community kernel at (5) assuming that you already put it in the sd card of your phone (if not, then you choose the option from the the red recovery "connect as usb drive, your computer wil read the phone and allow you to copy and paste - i must say here that I tried this step a few times in order to make it work, i even reboot my computer)
then you flash the ROM and Gapps that you want to (assuming that you already put them in the sd card of the phone)
if jellybean didn't go through then maybe you should try the cm-9 first ...
be patient, very patient if things to the way it should, your phone will reboot a few times and recovery will change its color ... and you will get to the ROM you want
while you are waiting for those reboots, take time to read at least the first 3 pages of the threads that I put the links above to learn about the problems and what to expect
don't panic very much it will led to bad decision
your phone will be fine as XDA dev. have spent a great deal of time, energy, thoughts on the infuse
once again, hope you understand my noob instruction and esl writing
you phone will be working again

Thanks but I didn't needed these. I may not be a pro but definitely not a noob. I was only responding to the previous comment.
