[Q] **HELP** Infuse stuck at SAMSUNG logo

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.

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:

Unable To boot normaly or into recovery after flashing RemICS-UX 1.3

After installing from the .zip and selecting "reboot system now" I get the Samsung logo and then my phone hangs on the Galaxy S + cyogenmod screen. When attempting to boot into recovery, after the first Samsung logo appears and I release the power button, a second Samsung logo will appear followed by the Galaxy S + cyogenmod screen and it will hang there. I am still however able to get into download mode, so i can still revert back to 2.3.6 which had had started from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you coming from gingerbread? If so it requires a double flash which explains why your stuck at Samsung...
How are you attempting to enter recovery?
You should do these steps for recovery:
Simutaniously hold power and volume keys
As soon as you see Samsung logo let go if all three buttons

Maybe bad kernel flash/recovery flash? Go to download mode and try flashing this http://www.mediafire.com/?h5s5146sjldae2f
Credit goes to Jt and qkster for that...
It's a heimdal package of the ics kernel, by flashing it in download mode you should be able to boot into recovery...if that doesn't work then I guess its back to stock for you so you can try again

[Q] Troubles after Factory Reset.

My Skyrocket was running SkyICS 4.2. i went to factory reset and not its stuck Download Mode. problem is i can't get my computer to install the drivers. Help please?

Hold the power button until it reboots
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

done that... it gets stuck on the Samsung boot screen when it tries to boot into android.

try another computer, then when in dl mode use odin to either flash cwm/twrp or flash stock firmware.
you must have a computer configured w/drivers or you wont be able to do anything

If you can't get into custom recovery or can't reset you will need Odin. Don't panic. If you can boot into download mode your phone is not broken. Just find a PC where you can install drivers.

Weird Issue With Gtab 2 10.1

Well here is the deal. I was trying to install twrp recovery but couldn't get into odin mode..I tried vol- & pwr, vol+ & pwr..but to no avail. Only way to boot into odin mode is with adb commands, but when I go into odin mode it doesnt display my flash count or model of the tab. Any help would be appreciated..

Do u all have the backup on the old rom. IF yes try to restore the old Rom and retry to download and retry to install it again.

Well my tab is stock..I wanted to root and flash twrp recovery

Yeah its blank only if you use adb or the device reboot options for some reason. I guess since if you use volume buttons it shows a warning screen but doesnt with adb. You can check flash count and stuff in TriangleAway.

Ohh..well yea I see that now because now I'm rooted on cm10.1 and the flash counter in triangle away is now at 3 but it doesn't show anything in Odin mode..anyways thank you.

Looking for a Stock Rom for a Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5113

So I have a Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 that is more or less bricked. It won't allow me to boot in to the recovery in order to reset it. I've tried using Odin v3.07 to load Clockworkmod and the Stock rom that I found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420381
but Odin doesn't like Zip files.
I've tried the Vol - and power buttons and all I get is a black screen. Vol + and the power button get me the ODIN Mode. This was so easy to do on my GP5.0 but it at least had a working bootloader this thing is completely uncooperative. Please help.
Thanks,

Have you tried unzipping the stock ROM, then flashing the md5 through Odin? The md5 needs to be placed in the PDA, make sure repartition IS NOT checked.

So I would try and find the stock ROM from Samsung. The one in development, though it IS stock, isn't what you want to get it back up and running, you want the official Stock from Sammie. I would unbrick that sucker first, then go back and root, flash custom recovery, then ROM.

Perhaps you can find what you need here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5113

Is there a way to create a Boot SD Card and force the device to boot into a Recovery mode? CWM perhaps?
