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.

hi dani, i got the same case. but mine cannot boot into CMW. my PC does not detect. any idea??
did you get this fix, I am having the same issue.
So u should use gtgs ultimate unbrick then follow this.
1: Root using super one click
2: Download 3e recovery save it to your SD card
3: Use root explorer to move the 3e recovery file to systim bin overwrite recovery file
4: Reboot phone
5: Download Rom manager and click flash clock work mod pic i9000 not the (mtd)
6: Once its done select reboot in recovery
7: In recovery click RE-INSTALL it should load then click re-install again and u should get green cwm then reboot and flash away

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:
Hey guys so what happened was that I was trying to root my phone through Gingerbread and Odin (as my infuse is Rogers). But I forgot to put in a SD card so now my phone is stuck in reboot loop! I have tried everything you guys have mentioned online! I cleared the user data but no avail. I inserted a SD card, even put on the SGHI997 rom, inserted the folders voodoo and disable-lagfix and still didnt work. I tried unbricking it via GTG but instead my rogers is gone and now I have AT&T and still in a loop! HELP!
Did you look at this post to see if it helps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205381
yup i did. It was the GTG process i mentioned that i tired before. the bootlooping has stopped but know is stuck on the samsung screen :S i left at the screen for 30 mins now still nothing. i cant even enter recovery mode anymore
u can not get into download mode??
yeah i still can
Were you able Odin back to stock?
not really, these are the results of odin:
GTG odin process: stuck at samsung screen. Cannot enter recovery mode.
Gingerbread process: goes to clockwordmod recovery (red txt). I wipe sd, wipe data/factory reset, enters bootloop. However can enter recovery mode.
Rogers stock: goes to andriod recovery mode (blue txt). I wipe sd, wipe data/factory reset, enters bootloop. However can enter recovery mode.
so no phone does not go back normal functioning self

From recovery you should be able to get to download.
Try this link with the option to get root & 3e recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
It sounds like you do not have modified 3e installed so it will check for sig?
from there if you install packages 2X you can get to CWM and flash what you will.....
EDIT: Sorry, I see you are able to get to CWM
can you not put a new rom on the SD and flash it? Or start over again with a fresh stock in case there was a glitch in the first install?
I am in the same situation and have the same problem too, i"ve looked lots of post and tried different method,,
even GTG's method it still in boot loop!!!!T^T
can anyone help

Hey when you say rom is assume you mean pda kernal files that come with odin and such? Then those would be PDA_ROGERS_UXKG3.tar.md5, PDA_Infuse_Gingerbread.tar.md5, the files the come in GTG unbrick.
I have also did repartion, but it did nothing.
I you mean rom by the SGHI997 rom i tried that too
Edit: Okay so I have been searching online and discovered you need put the room onto the internal sd card. But i dont see how i can do that considering my phone goes to recovery mode straight away

I'd like to bring the UnBrickable mod to this platform which will allow us to flash bootloaders to UnBrickably modded devices.. and seriously mod the crap out of the firmware... If you decide to turn it in for repair, consider PMing me so I can do some reverse engineering on it and then you can turn it in for not being able to turn on
Your device likey requires a PIT flash just so you know.

In CWM (red) under "mounts and Storage, select "Mount USB". Of course you are connect to your computer when you do this and in windows an external drive should become available. Place the zip file on the root of that drive.
Once copied, disconnect from windows first then unmout in CWM. from here you can go directly to and install from zip.
Hope that makes sense.

hey i tired what you said. i did a few times nothing came. then on my 4th try the driver showed up on my computer but it said 'please insert drive.' i reset and tried again the drive didnt show up
Remove the sim card and try again. Also,you can always copy a rom to an sdcard and install that in your Infuse.
Cranky...
hey i tried what you said but same result. i cant put on rom on because they mass storage does not show on my pc :S after the odd time of resetting and entering recovery mode, it connects but it says 'insert drive'
follow this link,, i recoverd my infuse 4G using this rom!!!!!!!

yes try a pit flash with repartition selected, it might fix it. theses types of bricks have been rare on the infuse and many people dont have experience with them. the available pit is packaged with the att ultimate unbrick but you should probably use it with the rogers odin firmware.

Sorry it took so long. I'll try to get in touch with GTG to make sure that his unbrick threads are more clear as to which device they are appropriate for.
UCKD5/E3 unbricks will only work on AT&T Infuses
UXKG3 will only work on Rogers Infuses
Custom Gingerbread ROMs will work on both, but there are no Odin-flashable packages for these.
Hi, sorry for my bad english. Im from Vietnam, and im having a p6200
last night i tried to flash an the galaxy hd, the modified stock rom, through cwm, and i forgot to put it on external sdcard, i put it on the internal sdcard, and it failed to flash when system is erased. I've lost all my backup, because it was on the internal sdcard, but i still have the cwm recovery at that time.
Then, i tried to flash the 4.0.4 stock firmware through Odin. Flashing was ok, Odin show PASS!, but my tab is stuck on the SAMSUNG logo forever. This time looks like i've lost my root and cwm. I cannot access CWM nor stock recovery.
Then, i tried to flash back the stock 3.2, flashing still ok, but my tab got bootloop on the Samsung galaxy tab screen. I've tried the Vietnam fw and the UK fw both. When flashing is done and it's about to reset, ive seen just in a flash that there were 1 or 2 red line say that cannot access data/recovery... something.
I tried the emergency recovery in KIES. Never worked.
Now im out of option. I got bootloop on stock 3.2, stuck on 4.0.4, and i cannot access the recovery. Even when i try to flash recovery through Heimdall, it wont work. I can only access the download mode. By the way, the phone is neither stuck or bootloop, but it still charging through AC very good.
Did i hard brick my tab? Do i have to send it to warranty? Is my warrant now void? What options left do i have?
Panicing
Any one? Just tell me how can i get the recovery mode back

You are not alone.I was running 4.0.4 on my p6200 and was experimenting with the permanent CWM recovery and the temporary touch one.One thing led to another and my tablet was stuck at the samsung bootanimation.After a couple of reboots it was stuck at the galaxy tab plus logo.Finally it wouldn't boot anymore and my tab is literally dead.It doesn't respond to USB connection although it gets warm when plugged into an AC socket.I've been reading about the solutions extensively. There seems to be two : 1. Get it exchanged under warranty or 2. Get it Jtag-ed if you are out of warranty.

that would work, unless you have a hard brick. of course, you should try it, and see if you can recover from the bootloops.
Hey guys it seems i have found a solution. Just find a stock heimdall package rom and flash with heimdall. Somehow heimdall seem to be able to do what odin couldnt. Now my tab is running stock ics smoothly. Just use heimdall to flash. I hope this gonna help someone who in the situation like i was.

Go to the above link and follow instructions. All you need to do is pull the battery, replace it, put the phone in Download mode and follow the instructions.
Go back to stock either froyo or GB, and then flash a custom kernel which should give you cwm recovery.
You can find everything you need in the iset thread, it is stickied on the dev section.

Unfortunately I'm unable to enter download mode....first few times tried that way via Odin and it didn't recognise my device...now all together my phone doesn't go to download mode at all...
All it does it switch off and then switch on to get stuck at logo screen....
Please bear with me but I think the problem is only with the recovery file that I replaced in system/bin...
So if anyone has a way to replace that like with the original recovery file , I'd be very happy... say via command or terminal or anything... some way to access the root folder of my phone in its suspended animated state...
Thanks a lot for trying to understand me.
It bootloops or does it get stucked at samsung logo?
I doubt that a bad 3e recovery file would do that to your phone.. you should be able to still enter download mode no matter how messed up your phone may be (except for a bad bootloader flash which is obviously not your case).
Only case I know you would not be able to enter is because of a bad power button.

Hello,
I've got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (WiFi) and I can't boot into recovery mode or download mode even with
pressing the power key and the volume up / down key.
I'm stuck in a bootloop and can't use ADB to boot into recovery because my
PC doesn't recognize my tablet!
This happened after I put a TWRP Backup on it.
What can I do to undo this?
Thanks in advance!

I had the same thing. Bricked trying to put custom recovery in. Everything I find for my got p5113 is dead or garbage. Seems the only living way is with Odin and a tar.md5. problem is only tars I find working are stock. Everything else is a zip and it seems TWRP won't work or is just corrupt. All the tutorials use dead links. So I found a stock lag....I mean Samsung rom.
