[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:

[Q] Nexus S stock recovery problem

Recently, i upgraded my nexus s I9023 from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 . But i did that with the fault of upgrading it with a different OTA version as suggested for my phone. The problem is that i cannot load into the boot recovery mode , can i install any recovery modes nor can i downgrade my phone to 2.3.6 without the boot loader .
Any answer would be helpful ...
Btw thanks for ur help.
if possible suggest me how to boot into the correct version or just help me downgrade to gingerbread.

How is the file called, you installed?
Overall I think you have the right version, if everything except the recovery mode is working.
All i9023 have this problem with the official OTA update (look in those threads).
If you really need it for wiping or so on, you could use a bright (LED) flashlight and illuminate the screen from the top then you can hardly see the menu points.
If you have an open bootloader you can flash a custom recovery as well.

I have the exact same problem. Even if flashing CWM recovery and superuser, once the OTA 4.0.3 boots it cripples the custom recovery. Very annoying!

It is like in Gingerbread...
you have to rename "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old" for example

thanks for the post buddy . but i really think i ve booted with the wrong unofficial OTA update for my phone . I actually have downloaded the version for my phone but the problem still remains is that i can boot into my recovery mode nor can i go for CWM recovery on my phone. it is as if i m stuck with the 4.0.3 version. on the added problem is that i dont have any roms installed on my phone ..
Thanks for the reply

Does the phone boot, so you can use it?
Can you boot in the bootloader mode (power on the phone while holding the vol+ button)? When yes what says it about its version?

i can boot into the boot loader but cant boot into the stock recovery mode

It's already been answered in this thread. New recovery turns off the backlight for the SCLCD on the i9023. Strong flashlight at the right angle will show you whats on the screen. To install a new recovery you need an unlocked bootloader and you need to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something else (which requires root).

i tried with the strong flash light but it cant be seen . I ve the unlocked and rooted nexus phone . I tried renaming the file with the file ("/system/etc/install-recovery.sh) via the root explorer but it seems it cannot be renamed bcoz it is read only and i cannt change it to read\write option in the root explorer app.
can u suggest any other way of doin so where i can get back to the android 2.3.6 version

Reboot into bootloader and use fastboot to flash cwm, then install your rom of choice without rebooting.

It's much more convenient to remove the recovery from stockrom's zip before flashing it. It's in its own folder, just delete that. And if you really want it perfect, remove the corresponding lines from update-script (optional). No new recovery, no script.
But I guess you need bootloader unlocked for this (to flash a then wrongfully signed rom in this case).

Bricked galaxy tab 2 7.0

I think I bricked my tab 2 (gt-p3113) it keeps on looping at boot, I recently flashed cm10 on it then flashed stock rom (it was laggy, so I tried flashing clockworkmod recovery to reinstall cm10) after flashing clockworkmod, it kept on looping. I don't know what the problem is, please help.
UPDATE: I kept on pressing random buttons to reach download mode, but I need a stock rom + stock recovery (this rom was 4.0.3) for my device (samsung-updates site is moving servers or so)
I downloaded my stock rom from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295&page=3 it's laggy + apps kept on crashing)
I need a new stock rom because flashing clockworkmod recovery on this rom always causes a bootloop, I want to install cwm recovery to restore my data.

first, try to download the stock recovery from sammobie.com , put it on your external sd & then try to re install CWM via odin, wipe your data and everything (if you're returning from CM10 to stock one) and then re-flash the stock ROM, hope this might help you

I couldn't find it on sammobile, but I googled it (794MB, downloading..) I think the problem was that I flashed cwm for 4.0.4 (seeing as I had 4.0.4 before cm10) then the stock rom I flashed was 4.0.3 (I can't update my device via OTA, idk why)
I'm just afraid the newest firmware I'm downloading lags and so, because the one I downloaded earlier (the 4.0.3 one) keeps lagging and force closing apps.
UPDATE: I flashed it, works perfectly fine, now I'm on my way to flash clockworkmod recovery and to root it in order to run cm10, but is there a way I can ONLY flash the stock recovery back? the md5 file I downloaded contains recovery.img is there a way I can flash it in odin without the whole ROM?

Your Tab is not bricked. A bricked Tab / Phone will not turn on. There won't be any response from the device, whatever you do. Because, I bricked one of my friends Mobile.
All you need to do you is, to install a proper firmware on your Tab 2. PM me if you need any help.

Mine started acting like it was bricked. Refused to turn on. I held the power button for 2+ minutes, nothing. Then I let it charge for 4+ hours and tried to turn it on, again, nada. I then unplugged it and held the power button and it booted. The first time the screen went to sleep it would not respond again. Plugged the cable in for a minute, then unplugged and it started. Battery was at 90%. It is on it's way back to Samsung now. They say 7-10 business days, we'll see.

Continuous Recovery Loop after Stock rom flashing

hi
i use mi 425 spice stellar phone.
i tried to root my phone and it was successfully rooted
but when i rebooted, i saw a blue screen after the boot image after 2-3 minutes of wait.
i kinda got scared so i decided to reflash stock rom by going to recovery menu (in which we have to navigate from the volume rockers)
i applied update from sdcard (update.zip) which is also the method of unrooting.
the update was applied successfully.
then i chose reboot system option and pressed power button
the boot image came but looped back to recovery.
please someone help.
the blue screen doesnt come now but my phone boots to recovery every time i reboot.
i am now not able to use my phone i also tried to wipe data/reset factory settings but no use.

did u manage to solve your problem ? i received a phone in same condition

There is no solution in the net for this problem
You must go to service center in your country

[Q] Huawei u8160 custom rom freeze.

So, yesterday I installed this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729925
I rooted my mobile with z4root then did a backup with the clockwork recovery and then I installed the custom rom.
At first it booted normally, I'm pretty sure it was applying the files, and then it showed it's own 'Android' boot picture.
So I left it over night (charging), but when I woke up, it was still booting up, so I restarted the mobile, but the problem still occurs.
How can I uninstall the rom, or get the default android system? I can't press any keys at all, because I'm pretty sure it freezes at the boot logo.
(Android 2.2.1, Huawei u8160 (vodafone 858 smart))

Just do this if u want a stable rom for Huawei u8160
just copy this file "cm-7-20120814-MADTEAM-u8160 LATEST.zip" to your SD card and reboot your phone into recovery and do a factory reset then go onto " install Zip from sd card" and by using volume keys locate the package name "cm-7-20120814-MADTEAM-u8160 LATEST.zip"
and install and then reboot. after installing just go back and select reboot now or reboot system now , Now enjoy CM7.2 Rom <3
