[Q] Tried to Install MIUI, Now Stuck

Welp I am one of the stupid ones and installed MIUI on my Infuse, and like everyone else, I'm stuck on the boot screen. I looked at the post on the same topic and tried to do it but couldn't get it to work probably becuase the computer says that its an Unknown device instead of a Samsung device.
So my question is what do I do now that my computer doesn't recongize the phone as a device anymore?
Thanks to all that can give help.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
And lesson learned - never install a ROM from another phone.

Yeah I know that now. Foolish mistake I know I shouldn't have made.
But, I have tried using that but when I connect the phone to the computer it shows to be an unknown device and Odin doesn't pick it up at all. My problem is, is that the computer doesn't recognize it as an Android Device anymore. Is downloading the drivers from Samsung going to help?

I'll have to leave that to someone else - I use Heimdall on a Linux box, I've never flashed from Windows.

Oh, ok. Well thanks for your help .

I fixed my problem. What I had to do was get another computer that doesn't have the Samsung Drivers or Kies installed and then install them. Once that was done Odin found the device and I was able to restore it.
So there's a tip for anyone who can't get their device to be recognized by the computer or Odin itself.

Or just uninstall/delete those drivers?

i have started to do this to since i got the infuse. ill tell you i dont miss driver issues one bit! linux/bsd/mac/whatever rock as long as you have supported hardware and that is becoming less and less of a problem these days.

re: Now Stuck
You need to try and pull the battery out and put it back see if you can get the phone into "download mode". If you cannot get it into download mode by doing that or using the up/down volume and power key combo then I would suggest that you purchase a "jig" on ebay. (they cost under $10 bucks shipped).
Here is the ebay link for the jig:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...0563626533?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item20ba3eba25
With a jig all you would need to do is to remove battery, plug the little jig into the usb port of phone and replace the battery, then wait 5 seconds or so and the phone will be in download mode allowing you to use Odin3 and flash back to "stock rom" to start with..
Best if you did that using the "Ultimate Unbrick" stock froyo rom after that
you can install infuse 1.5 custom rom or Bionix or the defused custom rom or any other rom.
Here is the link for the Ultimate Unbrick:

I tried that but it didn't work on my computer, but that's just my computer that could work for someone else. If that doesn't work though, you can get another computer and install the drivers on them and that should work.

Where are you trying to uninstall the drivers from? I have windows 7 and went to device manager or whatever and took it off there. Then reinstalled kies, worked perfect after.

I posted a thread with the same issue a few weeks back.
No, it's not the end of your phone. You'll need xp/7 to repair the phone (since I'm on linux I can't currently repair it).
Use the LG tool, remove battery and insert it back, plug in usb and hold pwr+volup(or down) can't remember which one. Your PC will find a OMAP4430 device.
There is a few threads how you can repair your phone using emergency mode in the LG tool, you'll need to enter your IMEI etc.. Look in the Development section and look for the right thread.
My thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439373

I've tried that resolution, but t dont works, omap4430 blinking in device manager, cant use lg flash tool

Did you really press the right volume button? I've had that blinking-problem,too, until I pressed the other volume button instead.
And there's no need holding the power-button for doing this.

Hi, I have a lg 3d optimus flashee it wrong and now not even get the lg logo, the computer detects it as I omap 4430 but I installed the drivers, I followed step by step this thread http://forum .xda-developers.com/showpost.php? p = 17177547 & postcount = 2 but I can not install the driver omap 4430, the only solution is to solder? as I do if I have no soldering tools here needed? someone could take a hand?

Dude don't do anything drastic. Is imap flashing on and off when you connect. Many have problems with getting into download mode. You have to do it just right.

the easiest way is to just download the software update LGMobile support tool
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp
launch the software. Take out battery, attach usb to pc, then hold volume up and power at same time, the software will see phone, select customer support then recovery or something like this – type IMEI number and then software will just re download and flash the phone to repair. the phone will have power for the flashing via the usb. when it finished just re attach battery and turn phone on.

If omap4430 keeps connecting and disconnecting,neither lg flashtoor nor lg mobile updater will help in this case.
You need to find a 2nd stage bootloader for the phone or see if LG agrees to repair it.
btw I'm in the same boat

Thread will be moved. Based on the fact it's not:
A ROM [X]
Mod [X]
Kernel [X]
Thank you for your compliance, hope you get your phone working.

If someone could modify the omapflash tool for o3d,the problem would be resolved.

thanks for all reponses, and and how could solder the USB cable? what tools I need or where I could do?

if it keeps connecting and the disconneting try this. attach usb cable to PHONE only then take your battery out, then put battery back in and quickly press volume up button and then attach usb cable to PC. keep hold of volume up button all time dont let go and install all drivers omap, usb driver etc.
hope it helps

Either that or you may have a broken charging port also. That could be a broken charging port on your phone. Not always is a usb cable fault. But like Imx said, just calm down and youll see the light at the end. After all, youre using an unbrickable Galaxy 4g. Which worst case scenario is the most simple to apply unbrickable mod.

Actually a blackberry cable is preferred. The samsung cable is not the best quality. I use it but Im also scared Im going to have issues. I use to have a blackberry cable around here somewhere and there wasnt a phone I couldnt get recognized on my pc with it.

thanks for the advice guys i will try a different cord and reply with my findings. i dont think it is my charging port. that should be fine never had a problem charging it. i never applied the unbrickable mod do you think this would help me?
All i get in the unknown device error when i plug the phone in right now. samsung drivers still dont help it. like i said when i hook my wifes phone which is a galaxy s 4g too to my computer it will recognize hers just not mine.

When you google one click stock for our device and download it the Java app requires you to install Java on your PC one this is done the program will automatically ask if you won't to install the drivers click yes then you will need to go to list at the top left corner select recent devices then Samsung will pop up install them then you click flash and it does all the work

Be sure to follow them exactly how they are written. lumin has a guide on how to remove your drivers that is probably what is causing your problems is a wonked out driver.

It kind of sounds to me like your drivers are borked. I would recommend uninstalling all drivers, reboot and then install the drivers included with the heimdall one-click.

guys, ive been messing around now for about 5 hrs trying to get this thing going and no luck. i know there has to be a way. this is a list of things that ive tried and any other suggestions would be very helpful.
*tried a different usb cord
*used usbdeview to delete anything android/samsung related
*tried another laptopkn
*tried another sgs4g (which one click will say connected but then if i try my phone it wont)
*deleted all known drivers samsung/android related
im going to the store now to see if i can get a brand new usb cord and see if that helps. other than that fellas im clueless as to why i wouldnt be able to get one click to see my device. its almost as if the device doesnt know what it is. but sometimes by chance when i plug it in to my computer it will try to install and if i have one click open it will say connected and the drivers are being detected and then when the drivers fail it becomes disconnected.
Anyone have anything else i can try???

Install Heimdall.
Plug in phone, while it's on download screen.
Launch zadig.exe from the Heimdall\Drivers folder.
Options->List all devices.
Choose the Samsung one... I'm away from my computer so I can't give you the exact name, but I think it's Samsung Composite Device.
Change the driver to libusb0.
Install/replace driver.
Restart computer.
Log into computer.
Restart phone.
Flash successfully.

I remember seeing somewhere that once on mtd the phone responds to the Google drivers. You can install those from the android sdk. Don't know if that would help, but worth a shot if you don't have those drivers installed.

A little help please..

Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with my phone now..
I tried to reflash XBSall's original ICS using the LGFlash Tool, and after the flashing process, I can't seem to turn on my phone at all.
I get an error that I hadn't encountered when I first flashed ICS onto my phone. You can see the error in the screenshot I have uploaded [Error Screen.JPG]
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, that would be great. I am still able to boot into the S/W flash thing (which I also have in my attachments, it's number 1 of the images[DSC_0029.jpg] )
Thanks for the help, XDA. In the meantime, I'll see what else I can do.
I have created a thread about this in the Thrill4G forums, but I know that this forum is more active, so I posted it here as well in order to (hopefully) get more responses. Sorry if this is considered a spam.

Can you boot into recovery? If so, wipe everything and try again.
Are you sure you did all of the steps in the tutorial right?
Did you install the OMAP4430 driver?
Also, did you change the port of the LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT to com41 in your device manager?

Nope, I can't seem to get into download mode. The only thing that works right now is that S/W [insert Asian characters here] screen.

That s/w screen is similar (but not the same) as the one I get in download mode. I just checked again and I get a black background, 2 arrows making a circle and underneath it says S/W followed by some Korean.
Have you tried plugging in your USB and opening device manager to see if its recognised?

Yes, the device is recognized when in the S/W screen. I was able to change the port to com41 as well, so I could try to flash some .bin files with the Android system, because currently all it's able to do is erase the partitions, and not actually write anything to it.
It's also worth noting that at one point, I got Gingerbread to work. But, me being stupid, I tried to reinstall ICS, and the whole thing broke down on me. HOWEVER, when I was in Gingerbread, it told me my internal memory was corrupted. Would this make any issues when I try to reflash things?

I'm not very experienced at this but a corrupt internal memory doesn't sound healthy. All you can do is try to flash a ROM and hope for the best.

Your internal memory is not corrupted , you just didn't format your Internal SD space when you came back to Gingerbread thats why you had that message.
So thats not the issue...
Actually from what you describe so far your phone is OK.
If nobody can help you fix it until next weekend when i 'll check XDA again i 'll show you how to fix it. (unless i m too busy)

Ok. Thank you XBSall. Your help is very, VERY much appreciated.
