Hi all, after successfully flashing aeon gears boot animation with clockwork mod from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656709 I then attempted to flash the Aeonised Forrest theme also from that same thread. This was my first attempt at flash a custom theme and as far as I am aware Entropy's kernel supports custom themes? Was it wrong to use CWM to flash the theme, according to CWM after the flash things went well however after rebooting I am stuck in a boot loop. Thinking of trying one click back to stock with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081 Any ideas what went wrong? Please note that Clockwork Recovery and Download mode both still work. Any suggestions how to do it the right way would be appreciated.
Thanks Much

Evergreen Theme Theme for AEON ROM....not stock...?
do you have driver loaded on your pc?, There are drivers for Infuse on the super infuse page, see my links...
or try diff usb port or cable...or pc...
does it ask for drivers for heimdall? which those are different drivers than odin...
if you want those nice, beautiful themes that mikig make...flash Aeon, then flash the themes...kk
but the Super Infuse page has all the ROM/tools/drivers you need for the Infuse...the individual that maints that page is just a loser, but dont tell him, he is dork with an additude...ok :laugh:
see "My links" in red...go there if you need anything else for you infuse...kk
I have a copy of ODIN with a few files in it not sure if they are useful? Files are: PHONE_UCKD5.tar.md5, infuse.pit, PDA_UCKD5.tar.md5
Will any of those fix my boot loop? Flashing a theme shouldn't permanently brick me right?

Hold the power button down for a little while. The phone may go into a screen w/ an image of Phone-!-PC. Reset Odin and restart from there. It should work then. If not, reset Odin and put the phone in download mode again.

A good while ago I flashed my phone with the Heimdall method provided by your one click to stock thread for GB.

My phone then decied to go into a boot loop. I am now attempting to recover with ODIN but i think it's stuck? It seems to be stuck at SetupConnection message in ODIN. I was hoping you could offer some advince on how to unbrick myself.

Odin and heimdall uses different device recognition drivers.
I've not used Odin for over 9 months so I can't offer advice there. Jscott30 has more experience with Odin.
If you want, you can restore your phone using the heimdall 1 click uclb3 I put together.
Flash in download mode. It will restore your phone if used correctly.
If you want to try, before flashing anything else, try first booting into recovery using the three finger techniques into cwm and flash aeon or another MUF.
Recovery may still work.

Now all good Although I think my data was wiped off
However I had no custom roms on my SD to flash and could only boot in to DL mode and CWM neither were of use .
At the very least now that I'm all clear i might flash Aeon rom.

Good luck with everything. Make sure to click the "Thanks" button on everyone that helped you out.
One thing you should take away from this experience is to make sure you do a NANDROID BACKUP before flashing ANYTHING in CWM.
Learn how to get into CWM using the 3-finger method, too. It can come in handy.

ENTROPY'S DAILY DRIVER!!!!!!!! IT'S MY FAVORITEST. If you could POSSIBLY find OC needed with these SMOOTH roms, then you should go with bewda's kernel. Pick a core. But for me, even Underclocking to 800 and still little to no lagging.

The problem appears to be that Samsung has gotten cute and restores stock recovery during the boot.
This isn't very nice -- they did the same thing with a recent update on their SGS-II phones as well, and I don't remember how I got around it.

I noticed this first on my Thrive tablet, then noticed it again on the 4.0.4 update. Once you are rooted, you can rename (If memory serves) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to something like /system/etc/install-recovery.bak
Then go back into download mode and reflash cwm recovery.
I incremented my flash count by about 5 before I remembered about this.
If you do not rename that script, by the time you see your boot animation, the stock recovery will have already overwritten your custom recovery..

That´s the trick:

Hi,
I am new to this forum.
My captivate is on stock firmware UCKH3 (2.3.4)
I think I've done something wrong while flashing a custom kernel.
The kernel was flashed, the phone is booting but I am unable to get into the CWM recovery. Tried button-combo and also from ROM manager but no luck. Hence I am unable to flash any roms in the forum except odin tar's!!
I would like to try ICS roms but I couldn't find odin packages.
Please help me with this issue or post a link which may help my case.
Thank You,
Pradeep Kiran
Which kernel did you flash, and what combination are you attempting?
were you able to get into recovery before .?.
I had to use ADB to get me into recovery on my i897. If you dont know what ADB is, look it up as i did.
Careful with Odin, it will brick ur phone, but no worry many ways to get unbricked. I had to make a jig. you can order one, same price either way, just if you make one check the ohms, needs to be 301k resistance.

Flash the latest @Android-Andi Philz Touch or TWRP recovery and that should solve the problem (I recommend flashing the recovery with Odin or Heimdall.) Status 7 error usually means outdated recovery.

How should I go about this? I cannot do anything in Kies because the P3113 won't turn on. Whenever I plug it in to the PC if makes the sound of connecting, then disconnecting over and over again.

Since the Cyanogenmod Rom failed flashing I tried to flash the stock firmware using Odin v.1.83 (Odin v3.09 and v3.07 wouldn't open) in order to get a Rom, then I tried to re-root it using v1.83, but it died when I was trying to. So, I decided to charge it and that's what happened. At least that's what I remember. My USB connector works but doesn't charge when connected to the PC, that's why it died. Other than that I do not believe anything else was done to it.

OK, that makes more sense. If your device died during installation that will happen. If I use Odin, I usually use v1.85, but I have found Heimdall to be more stable and consistent. Can you boot into download mode?

There have been known problem using Odin on Windows 8, but I've done it multiple times. (I had kies installed if it makes any difference)
Anyway, do you have a Linux computer laying around somewhere? Depending on what happened during I installation, one can be used to maybe trip the device into a bootloop and then from there you can boot into recovery and flash a ROM. (I had to do this with my S2 after a power glitch while using Odin.) Odin isn't needed to root the tab. All you have to do us use Odin or Heimdall to flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and then flash SuperSU.zip in recovery.

Odin does detect the device. So you SHOULD be able to go to www.samfirmware.com , click on "Firmware Database" and select the options in the drop down boxes for your tablet. Download the zip file (you'll need a sammobile account) and then extract the zip file. You should have a tar.md5 or a tar file that you can flash in Odin. Make sure your tab is charged and you run Odin as admin. After you flash that, reboot into recovery (will be stock recovery) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. Now you should be able to reboot into stock android (with TouchWIZ of course). To root from here, use Odin to flash latest @Android-Andi TWRP recovery and the flash @Chainfire's SuperSU.zip and you'll be rooted!
As always, I am not responsible for what happens to your device. Doing this will raise your flash counter and void your warranty, which is probably void already if you flashed anything before.

That is quite weird. I have done the same thing at least 2 or 3 times. Try going to https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/ Make sure you plug in your device before loading the above page. Your device should be detected when the page loads. In PDA put the latest TWRP tar file. Click start. It will say something like it needs a pit file and will reboot to find it. Click OK. It might fail but thats fine. Unplug your device. It will reboot and should show a bootloop. Now you should be able to reboot into recovery. If not, you might have to JTag but I don't know. For future reference, if a ROM is bootlooping, don't flash stock in Odin. Just do a full wipe and reflash the ROM and that should fix it.

EDIT: if the tab died during installation of an important file, it can ruin the device. www.mobiletechvideos.com does have JTAG service that can be used as a last resort. It costs around 50 US Dollars.

I don't know anything about flashing, but I'm guessing what I need to do is flash the stock ROM.
Could anyone help me?

You could try a back-to-stock method, using Odin.
If you are using AT&T (option D or A, depending if you want CWM or not):

Looks like you don;t have the appropriate drivers drivers installed to use download mode.
Some people use Kies to get the drivers, me I prefer ADBSetup. The package installs generic (or at least non-specific) drivers along with your standard debugging tools (adb, fastboot).
Just download the package, run as administrator, say yes to both (or at least the drivers portion), and you should be ready to go with download mode again. If you are still having problems, you may need to reboot.
