My phone feezes instantly when i try to make calls, and when i recieve calls it rings but as soon as i answer it freezes. only way to unfreeze is to battery pull. Whenever i press the power button to unlock my phone, the screen takes 5-10 seconds to actually turn on to be able to unlock it. Every Time!
More importantly, i have tried to odin back to stock many times with no luck.
I am also unable to flash to any other roms - upon flashing ANY rom i get stuck at samsung logo indefinitely. I also get stuck when i try to odin anything other than UCKD5 stock, like it gets stuck when trying to odin to GB stock. I am able to flash community kernel without getting stuck tho.
Any ideas?
EDIT: i also have tried formatting both SD cards
EDIT2: i used Kies to update firmware to UCLB3, this fixed the unlock issue, but whenever i make calls i cannot hear the other person and they cannot hear me. Still unable to flash ROMS

From what you are describing, I suspect you have have some sort of partition corruption.
You may want to look for any voodoo files and folders on your /sdcard.
Delete them all.
Back up whatever files you want.
Power down.
Take out the microSD for now.
Use the heimdall uclb3 I put together. Alternatively, you can use odin to flash one of the later gb leak like uclb3...but you also need the PIT file and you will need to repartition on the odin interface. If you are unsure, use the heimdall I put together.
Put your phone into DL mode and flash the heimdall or odin.
On the heimdall, if the flash was successful, you will need to check the boot loader box, put your phone back into DL mode and flash it again.
To get cwm recovery, follow the second post in the uclb3 heimdall thread.

I tried Heimdall, it failed at recovery one time and then modem the next. Once it went all the way through without failing, my phone booted into recovery after the flash, and now i am only able to boot into recovery. Odin is now unable to see my device now.
did i do something wrong? :O

download mode again and flash the heimdall again with boot loader checked.
if you cant check the boot loader box, you have to start over with 2 heimdall flash...check the op
odin uses different driver..use a diff usb port

Okay i Heimdall flashed without bootloader then again with bootloader and it booted properly (thanks!!). Then powered off and went into download mode and flashed ENTROPY512's 2.2.2012 kernel for CWM and allowed it to boot. Then i powered off again and three fingered into CWM (three finger boot took about 5minutes if thats important), wiped data/cache/dalvik and formatted system/data/cache and flashed my desired ROM (miui 2.2.4) and nowww it is sitting at samsung logo and has been for 10 minutes and im scared to touch it lol
have u tried change another recovery like clockwork mod from odin and flash roms
Well i have been trying Clockwork mod (CWM)
you mean different versions of that?
yup Another version, or any other type
yeah ive tried 3 versions :/
return to stock
ok if thats did not help
return back to stock
by this step u will not need to odin or cwm
thats stock by java
the stock called "Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click.jar"
Yes i have already used Heimdall to return to UCLB3... many times.. lol

MIUI needs to be flashed twice in recovery to stick..same with cm7/cm9 - (unless you know how to flash just the kernel first - don't worry about this last part) - just boot back into cwm and flash again
haha i already tried starting over, im at the first heimdall flash again. but ill do that once i go through it all and let you know what happends, THanks again

The first boot up is always the longest after a stock reset. Usually 5 minutes.
Repeat boot up should only be 2 minutes - providing you did not wipe any cache or data.
If you had a lot of pics and music or files in your external sd card, the boot up will be longer.
To test this, take out your ext sd card.
boot into cwm.
factory reset. wipe system/data/cache.
Download mode and flash heimdall again...Since you had the bootloader already from the last time, you don't need a bl flash this time.
The first ATT boot up should take 5-7 minutes.
Repeat boot up should only be 2 minutes-3 minutes.
If it is longer, you may have some hardware issues.
Once you start to add things or ext-sd and noted increase boot time, you will narrow down the culprit

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

Try this link with the option to get root & 3e recovery.

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?

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

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'

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.
So I rooted my phone and flashed Krylon360's Stock + Root rom using this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759 ). Everything went perfectly until I rebooted from recovery mode. It sits there in the boot screen trying its hardest but just keeps randomly vibrating. Not sure what to do about this since It will not go back into download mode to retry again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go back into download mode and try flashing kc1 instead

Put your phone in download mode and flash the SMS-KJ6 one-click from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
(yea, I need to update the kernel in that package... everything moves so fast)
Leave the one-click open, after the phone reboots from the first flash take the battery out (let it reboot all the way to the pink t-mobile screen, then pull the battery. It does boot into recovery and tries to do some csc update, just ignore any errors in that). put the battery back in and the battery case back on, hold vol+ and vol-, plug in the usb cable and let go of vol+ and vol- when you see the download mode screen come up.
Check the flash bootloaders and click flash again. This gets your phone on GB bootloaders, which if you're coming from froyo, you will need it (you can also get the same bootloaders from FBis251's ext4 starter kit).
After that is done, you should download octane 3 cwm zip and my latest kernel to your sdcard, reboot to recovery, wipe everything, flash octane 3 then my kernel. Let it sit for 30 minutes after rebooting to let everything juice up and soak in.
Also, never odin/heimdall flash on a low battery. Always charge your phone all the way up before doing this as not to brick because your battery died.

I had the same problem. I booted into recovery cleared the cache and user data then restarted the ODIN process and it worked and booted fine.
Hello guys, I recently received my refurb phone back from Bestbuy. I flashed MIUI on to it and about 2 days later I'm caught in this boot loop. After reading several threads, I called and got the battery replaced. That did not resolve my issue. I used GTG's unbrick method with KEIS downloaded. ODIN "passed" it and I got rebooted into 3e recovery (not sure where my clockworkmod recovery went, unless that went with the reset). I selected reboot now, and I'm still stuck in the boot loop with samsung popping up. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I've now tried Heimdall, it allowed the phone to turn on. When I turned the phone off it got caught back in the boot loop again. So I retried while checking "flash bootloaders". All seemed to be well, it turned off and the battery charge indicator came on. I turned it back on and checked a few things out, I didn't download or change anything. Shut it back down and it's caught back in the boot loop again.
I've retried Odin 3 times too.
What the heck do I do now?!

after using the one click did you do a factory reset/wipe with in 3e recovery...or if you using one click, and put cwm on just do a data/factory wipe to clean all...
what i would do...because something is not cleaning...
do the one click reboot
and do the one click to get cwm....
then go into CWM
When in CWM:
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 and one click again to put gb back on with nothing left over...if you want to stay stock...of if you want to add custom rom
put cwm again to go to a custom rom...
may seem time consuming but sometimes it take a few strokes to clean up...
believe me i have had to do this before...
and let us know...kk
Ok guys, thanks for all of the replies.
I've tried and tried this Heimdall now 4 times, twice clicking flash bootloaders. I've gone into 3e recovery and wiped everything.
It will start and get to the setup wizard (for first time use). I click through it and I get to the main screen. I locked the screen and went to unlock it and after I "swiped" it shut down and went back into the boot loop. I retried the Heimdall again, samething happened with the setup wizard, got to the main screen, unplugged the USB cable and it shut down and back into the boot loop.
Any other ideas? I'd love to use this thing...I just got it back and haven''t been able to use it because of this.
Something similar happened to me like a week ago ..i did not know what to do so i odin back to stock about 7 times before i could reach de home screen,the first 3 times i had bootloops,3 other time i went to initial setup but as soon as i was finishing it ..bootloops,the last time i tried i was able to go into the homescreen but it had some apk left over from previous flash..so i use sgs kernel flasher to flash infusion and get back my red recovery ,then i flashed qster total wipe and flashed emencipation.....im so scared now ..i dont think i will flash anything for a while...anyway hopefully you will find the perfect combination to save your infuse good luck

How do I use SGS kernal flasher if I can't get it to turn on? From what I read it requires root and superuser?
So I retired Odin again with no luck. Retried Heimdall by selecting Flash Bootloaders, loaded to main screen, it went back into the boot loop after I locked the phone.
update #3, got into 3e recovery and it rebooted itself from there too.
If you flashed miui you must be rooted ...and yes to use shs kernel flasher you must be in the homescreen ..can you acces cwm? If so flash qster total wipe

When you reflash to stock, it does not take out the root unless you erase the proper files yourself. The only thing you lose is the modded 3e recovery and CWM recovery.

I have been running liquid smooth 2.9 for about a year now with no issues. Last night my battery died and I plugged it in and tried to boot up immediately as I needed it. We'll it shut off again and I let it sit for a few minutes then tried to reboot. Now it just stays stuck in the boot splash screen. I can boot into TWRP but get a failure when restoring. It's telling me E: no packages found to fix. Is this a corrupt backup file or something worse? I can get into Odin or TWRP. I have an older backup saved on my PC, is it worth trying to move that to ext sd card. Thanks in advance for any thoughts

Horrible advice! He is on the 4.3 bootloader after the ml1 flash. If he did that he would hard brick!!
Sorry didn't update sooner. Wish I would have seen about the locked bootloader before flashing. Anyways after a few attempts and battery pulls it finally turned on and allowed me to setup as a new phone. I was able to root the phone with saferoot. Kingo would not work for root access. Hopefully an exploit comes along in the future to unlock the bootloader..
Thanks for the help

Follow the instructions from this post. Since you are soft bricked at the moment, you'll need to start at step 4. If you have an extSD in your phone, you might want to pull it until after you're up and running because the "Android" folder from Kitkat needs to be deleted and rebuilt for Lollipop.

Are you using the wrong terminology? You have to use Odin and a PC to install the .tar. Also, the first boot into Lollipop can take about 20 minutes. You have to be patient. I see you posting in different threads and you seem to be digging deeper into a hole.
Are you using Odin and starting by downloading (to PC) the file in step #4? Then follow the remaining steps "exactly". Re-read those instructions and if you not already downloaded the needed files, do that first.

Try this: Do a battery pull, then put the phone in Download mode, hook up to PC and then open Odin and then Odin custom recovery, either twrp or Philz. Uncheck auto reboot in odin and once it passes, pull the battery, unplug and boot into recovery. Also, you might update Odin, there's a link to Odin 3.10.0 in my post. Let's see if we can get that far and go from there.

Which recovery tar did you Odin? You pulled the battery after Odin said PASS, then unplugged the phone, put battery back in and immediately tried to get into recovery? If so, I'm stumped.

Yes I tryed
kt_twrp_recovery_boa6_firmware.tar
and
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-klte
and
philz_touch_6.57.8-klte
NOTHING!
when ever i try and boot the rom the phone vibrates 2 times and resets.
when ever i try to boot to recovery
i get
recovery booting....
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit : recovery
then phone reboots.
then it trys to boot the rom.
and vibrates 2 times and resets.
Im not new to using odin or flashing roms or recoverys i sort of know what im doing. not to sound cocky.

I saw your post count, I knew you knew what you're doing, just wanted to double check everything. Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I did ask @tdunham to take a look at this thread, if he has some other ideas, but he's offline right now. Hopefully he'll check in later.
What about flashing back to an older version of android? Full tar flash.

Like ne5, and nothing else, just see if you can get stock to boot, no messing around trying to flash recovery.
This is RWillco12's NE5 stock.. Have the phone in download mode and run the .exe
Thanks TD.

I tryied ni3 already
but as far as i know you cant downgrade the bootloader.
if i could flash just the bootloader for ota6 maybe that would help.
i will try downloading ne5 now but my last rom was running a nkd modem.
im going to try and flash G900P_NKD_FullRestore.tar in odin if that dont work ill try ne5
and will report back shortly.
well nkd full restore boots up to
unknowen error!
wait..
done!
udc start.
power reset or
unknown
upload mode.
this is the way i got it back from retech after they replaced my bezel and digitlizer and screen
i never had an issue with anything software wize before that.
Have you tried flashing the phone without any sim cards inserted including the sprint card? You are flashing from a powered off state right? You know it wont work unless phone is powered off before going into download mode.
As a last resort attached is the pit file for the 16gb G900P. Unzip and put it into the pit section of odin and flash the stock firmware again. It will repartition the entire phone when it flashes the stock image.
