Can not root?? - Samsung Infuse 4G

I successfully rooted my phone initially. Upgraded from Froyo to GB by flashing this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507658.
I want to install the new Z-tr, but I can not get root access again. SOC keeps getting stuck on "running psneuter". I also tried this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqzbsVjOYVU form qbking77. No superuser app.....I need yalls help please. I need to be rooted to install ztr. I also noticed that when I connect my usb cable, although debugging has been enabled, it doesnt show debugging as active while plugged in.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Try using this method and try diff usb port....

I was able to flash back to stock using the method you gave me, but after it finished I was still unable to get debug to work when I plugged the usb cable in. I have deleted and re installed all drivers. I don't know what else to do.

Ok, did you go into settings....applications...go into development...check usb debugging....
also...makes sure you check "unknown sources"
this will allow you to copy to the internal sd your rom that you want to install...but to get CWM go back to qkster thread and flash the kernal required...
RECOVERY:
After you have flashed the UCLB3, some of you may want to have Red ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery to flash another ROM.
Put your phone back into DOWNLOAD mode after your phone has booted up.
Flash this package. It is Entropy512's DD kernel. It will boot your phone completely.
Once the phone has booted into stock ROM, use the three fingers technique to get into recovery.
When in CWM:
I recommend the following to get the cleanest flash that has not failed me.
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Advance: wipe dalvik cache.
4 Go back and into Mount and Storage: format system, format data, format cache.
5. Go back to main and flash your ROM. After flashing the ROM, I suggest going into advance and wipe dalvik and fix permissions - unless specifically said not to do so in the OP of the ROM.
Recovery Mode: Power off, hold both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. Samsung logo should come on. Let go only the power button, Keep holding the volumes buttons for 12-15 seconds and let go.
I know you want to flash ztr as you stated in the first post...but the dev has moved on, there are lots of roms that being supported by dev themers that are still around...take a look at he ROMs in the development thread lots of screens posted and the themes & apps thread...the home posting thread.... look around
I only say this because of the support you may need, will be around with the current Dev, but it is totally up to you...

Thanks. Your the man! now running Z-TR. I will admit..... I bout shat a brick when my phone started talking to me during Entropy application lol

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] Kernel problems?

So I rooted my Tmobile g2x everything was going great until I tried using the Trinity Kernel. Now it won't recognize any Network service so I can't redownload ROM Manager to restore it to my previous ROM. My computer can't find my phone either (I installed my USB Drivers already) What should I do?
HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! PLEASE!
First goto settings> wireless> mobile network> and make sure your apn is correct. Then try reflashing trinity but make sure to wipe cache and dalvik first

Yeah, my apn is correct. How do I reflash it? I have no access to any type of network so I can't download ROM Manager to flash it, it won't read my sd card or my sim card. And my computer won't recognize my phone apparently... I'm soo ****eeedd.... I just got this phone today too.
You are not fudged for good. If you have no absolute access and your computer won't recognized the phone when plugged in, then install the drivers. Fisrt and foremost go to dev thread and root your phone properly through nvflash. Lastly try rebooting the phone holding down the power+vol up until the second LG logo pops up, this has been said and reported to fix weird data issues.

When you ask me to install the drivers. You're talking about the original USB drivers for the phone right? I've already had them installed previously. The phone was recognized before I booted it to the Trinity Kernel. So which drivers should I get?
Try booting in CWM by holding down volume + power til you see the blue lg then let grand from there perform a factory data reset and then try flashing trinity again or a rom with or without trinity

I get to the CWM but I can't select anything. All I could do is move the the highlighter up or down but I can't select?
The magnifying glass search button or the power button can be used for select. You may have also disabled the ability to select which it will tell you near the bottom of the screen. Press both volume buttons a few times to fix that.

You realize that you don't have to use rom manager to install a rom right? And your saying the you can't connection to wifi? Or data? And with the apns mine used to be a correct but I still couldn't connect to data just hit menu and hit reset apn it should work. With nvidia tegra on board its really hard to brick ur phone.. If you really run into and problems let me know and I'll hook you up to a thread for apx drivers iv been there done that
I've finally solved my issue thanks to TGA_Gunnman. Appreciated the help everyone!
Close thread please.

problem with flashing

hey, i wipe data/factory reset, delete cache, and deleted dalvic cache, and installed the dark knight ics rom. and went to recovery again, but then it took me to a recovery which looked like i cracked my phone from the top. eventually, i installed emancipation rom and went back to normal red recovery. i wiped data/factory reset, deleted the cache, and flashed zip from sd card. but now it stays in samsung booting screen and it does not move from there. i can go back to recovery and try the same thing with a different rom and it wont do any different. is there anything that could fix this problem?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24901128&postcount=3
should answer the distorted recovery question.
As for being stuck at Samsung screen. Probably heimdall or odin back to stock. Then flash the bootloaders you'll need for any of the ics roms and all should be well to try reflashing an ics rom

yes, but i can also go to red recovery, and wipe data/factory reset, delete cache, and install zip from sd card and reboot but it stays in samsung screen. what should i do?
my mom also has an infuse, i plug her infuse to my computer and it recognizes the device so the drivers are installed for the computer but it doesn't work for my phone. i have no idea why.
Okay. I can't provide the link at the moment because I'm on my phone, but check the "super everything" thread on the development section.
Look at the return to stock posts. It should say for you to go on download mode. I had this issue before, so I just put it on download mode and went back to stock.
Hopefully that works.

Stuck in boot, have cwm

Hi there. I had a stock S4g, had froyo 2.2.1. I Rooted the phone. That went fine. I went to install a new kernel (baliSGS4G) The instal got interrupted, second reboot had the android logo flashing while the normal galaxy s logo was on, so I knew from there it was screwed up...
It booted up fine actually, and i was able to operate around in on the phone, altho the home button didnt work... I went ahead and tried a restart to see what it would do and it would stick at the galaxy s boot screen and the voice would say "restore operation" and just reboot and be stuck on a boot loop...
I CANNOT get into recovery mode UNLESS I remove my sdcard... if I do I CAN... BUT it seems as tho the cwm recover is somewhat useless to me now that the sdcard isnt in.... If I boot into recovery and THEN put the card in, it saws E: Can't mount /sdcard..
Ive tried wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset... nothing..
Any suggestions? THankyou!
use any one of the "one clicks".
p.s. gb is a better os

Try One-Click Gremlin Remover to flash and fix. Found this to be easier than Heimdall for the uninitiated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427
1 Open Gremlin remover on PC
2. Remove battery from phone
3. Hold down both the Up and Down on the Volume Rocker
4. Plug Phone into USB (without battery)
5. Insert battery into phone and replace cover
The phone should automatically boot into Download mode, and Gremlin Remover should recognize the phone. This should wipe it back to stock but leave it rooted. Then you can start again. I recommend the SGS Kernel Flasher App to flash new kernels in the future. Much less prone to error.

You might refrain from recommending a different flashing utility (ODIN) when somebody has already started using Heimdall and is just asking for help to finish the process. All you are doing is inviting more problems with driver and USB port issues by doing so. You gave him a simple set of instructions that mentioned nothing about drivers.
And SGS Kernel Flasher is great but it only works properly on our GB ROMs.

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

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.

*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.
