I was replacing the stock recovery file with Krylon's Modded Recovery Binary.
I deleted the stock recovery file in /system/bin (copyed it to external sd) after pasteing the Modded Recovery Binary in /system/bin.
I had the CWM 3 file already copied to my external sd card
I turned off my phone to reboot it and the phone is now stuck on the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy S 4g logo. All my soft keys are lit up too.
Is my phone bricked? How do i get into download mode? What can i do to fix this?
Im Very noob and going to have a "pro" fix if it can be.
Im a blue collar worker and dont work at a pc. Im traveling to work and wont be able to reply in real time but PLEASE leave comments. I will be checking in when i can...

Hold both volume keys and then plug the usb from the computer to your phone to access download mode. If it doesn't work u can buy a unbrick jig from ebay. If you get into download mode using volume keys then flash back to stock. Phone should be turned off if trying to put into download mode

Do I have a soft brick or a hard brick?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA Premium App
You have a soft brick. This should be fixable getting into DOWNLOAD MODE and using ODIN. Do a few searches for both. A JIG may be necessary to obtain download mode as well. Search all topics I have listed in all CAPS and you should be good to go! PM me if you have any questions...
same thing happened to me, all I did was I downloaded whitehawkx KD1 kernel which is perfect because your phone will already be rooted and has the file so you could put CWM3, after you download it get into download mode and flash with odin, if you need any more help please let me know

Thanks for the good news. I feel much better knowing what needs to be done. I will search your topics. I have been reading everything I can on this subject. I probably should have done that before I made this post. It's my first brick and I was desperate for info.
I'm going to try to fix it after 2pm (with help)...I'm in work and its the longest day of my life today. Lol.
If I need to PM you I will for sure.
Thank you VERY MUCH for all your help!

If I need help I will let you know.

I'm very noob but there are people who will help you on here for sure.
I had a "soft brick". Phone stuck on Samsung galaxy s 4g splash screen with my soft keys lit up too. I searched and read in this forum. I went to our 4g development section and found a post called Noobs guide to Odin.
From that post I downloaded the samsung drivers I needed for the pc I was using (32 bit in my case), downloaded Odin 1.7 and then downloaded krylon360 stock/root rom.
I ran Odin, got my phone into download mode and then flashed the rom with no problems.
I'm new and in work so can't be too much help. Everything you need to know has been talked about on our forum. People will help you. Good luck!...
Maybe you should post your own topic in this GENERAL section to let people know you are bricked. Put I'm bricked in the subject line. A fresh topic might get peoples attention faster. Like I said I'm new.

Notice:
This thread is for general questions regarding MIUI FOR INFUSE ROM.
sticky please
I flashed miui about a week ago. The .30 edition.
Well I want to update and when I try to boot into cwm it just sits at Samsung screen.
I tried to flash the cwm through Tom manager and still nothing. =\
I was having the same problem booting into cwm. I followed LG_iiNsTiiNcT's directions that are below via the2rrell and I was able to boot Jordan's update. Thanks guys.
the2rrell said:
i have seen 2 fixes for this...... this is one of them from "LG"
Okay so if you were one of the few people who lost recovery for some weird reason "ME" no need to unbrick to stock and re-flash I have a solution.
1: Download sgs kernel flasher
2: Download CWM community kernel
3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

So I made a theme and I want to share it but for some reason the carrier logo and Sinhalese bars that are in systemui don't show up I have to put them in systemui.apk from the actual rom

sorry for the dumb question, but can we flash any gb kernel (such as infusion 1.1) onto MIUI to improve battery life or will that get me stuck in a boot loop?
thanks in advance
Is this a gb rom?

That's weird than, I haven't been on gb for a while now and I flashed miui the other day. I wasn't a big fan of it at the time but now I think I may give it another shot. I'm not sure which version I used.

Well I had great success with 1.9.23 and 1.9.30. Read about all the people having issues with CWM and laughed thinking they obviously did something wrong. Well lo and behold, updated to 1.10.7 and now I have no recovery. Gah! So what is my recourse? I flashed exactly as I did before so it wasn't user error. Anyone have a clue as to how to get Recovery back?
Voo-Doo??
I've ready everywhere about this rom but I cannot find the answer for this!
Do I need to turn off Voo-Doo lag fix for this rom??
Thanks

Also another HUGE ISSUE
Why does 3d lag so badly? The GPU renders very slowly i went from 57 fps to 28 in quadrant. Can someone explain this? Makes no sense how everything else is super smooth yet the 3d i just horribly slow?
Hey guys and gals. I have a problem. I was trying to flash a Tom and I have bricked my phone. I can still get into download mode by using a jig. But any time I try to load a Tom I get a blackish red screen and it just stays there.
I've tried eclare froyo and gingerbread one click installs and all with the same results. It happened when I tried installing serindipity 7. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Could have been an app you installed preventing it from booting properly, try to make a nandroid of your current rom then restore back to your original rom and let us know if it boots. If it does, it's most likely something on your rom. If it still doesn't boot that's more of a hardware issue.
Did you properly wipe, did you install a rom, you have to tell more information then just saying it wont boot could be anything why it wont boot answer what you did before you got to the point you are in now and then we can help.

You might want to tell people what the issue was and how you fixed it. Simply saying, "it's fixed," doesn't help people.

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers
