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.

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

What Rom were using?
Try checking repartion when you use Odin.

From recovery you should be able to get to download.
Try this link with the option to get root & 3e recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
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?
I am in the same situation and have the same problem too, i"ve looked lots of post and tried different method,,
even GTG's method it still in boot loop!!!!T^T
can anyone help

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
Your device likey requires a PIT flash just so you know.

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'
follow this link,, i recoverd my infuse 4G using this rom!!!!!!!

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.
This is for all those who have soft bricked their phone, if you are experiencing a bootloop or some other problem here is a detailed guide how to get your phone back to working condition. If your phone is not entering download mode or recovery mode and even if a USB jig is not possible or not working.... This is the guide for you-I do not know whether this will work in all situations but you could still try it if you have no other alternative. The Galaxy SL has a hard reset button between the camera lens and the speaker... DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1)Open the back over
2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker
3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity
4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin
5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed.
6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode
7)Flash to a stock firmware

Cranium Rom V.3.1
All trials failed
Hello,
after i've updated my Galaxy S GT-I9003 with an official Rom JPKPE Gingerbread 2.3.6, and after rebooting, it stucked at bootloop, i've tried everything suggested on web and forums, and lastly your solution, with no benefit.
the problem i noticed that when i press on wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode it tells me :
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
so, is the corruption of the format volume rfs that causes the issue of bootloop
and is this a soft brick of the phone, or hard brick, could it be solved or the phone is dead?
i tried rooting it with CF-Root and bagaria.
if i converted the format to ext4, will that solve the issue.
if so, what are the steps to do that and from where can i get the software that i'll convert by
Note: i've started updating with the XXKPQ ROM putting the PIT file then i downloaded the JPKPE after i issued that problem of bootloop
another Question, is it right that i update with the PID file only knowing that i couldn't find any other files for phone and CSC for this version.
Hope any body could help me to get my phone to life again.
Thanks

Yea exactly what devilhell said. Its impossible to hardbrick your phone technically if you haven't flashed any bootloader on it.

As long as your boot partition and recovery partition is not corrupted your phone is recoverable. If boot partition is corrupt your phone will not boot. So as long as your phone boots it is recoverable.

Hi there,
i have an I9003 and it is using froyo 2.2
i intended to upgrade until gingerbread and i have chosen the KPU (latest ROM). I use mobile ODIN to flash and the bootloop issue happens.
So, to recover back, i came to here with hope to recover my I9003.
the steps i did was:
1. Download and run odin 1.8.5.
2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit
4. Click PDA button and select this file: I9003xxxxx-KP7...-.tar.md5 (single file FW)
5. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.
6. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.
7. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.
8. After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
9. Click Start button to flash the files to phone.
10. Everything pass except there is 1 failure.
Now my I9003 can boot up, however with bootloop issue. What should i do now?

I had my phone i9003 flashed to a i9000 stock rom by a total mistake.
I had both pit files on my PC so I mixed up by a mistake.
Now my device is completely dead and nothing works out. Not even charging, completely unusable now.
Hardware reset, JIG's and combination keys, ODIN setups..nothing takes me to download mode.
Phone is still under warranty so afraid to JTAG.
Do you all think my phone is recoverable? Will the samsung warranty tech's will find out about the issue and won't the claim?
Please help. tried everything and now clueless.

try holding power and vol+ for at least 10 seconds, and keep holding it. or try power and volume down for 10+ seconds.
should attempt to get you into recovery or download mode.

i can go to the recovery mode and download mode..i already flash my tab in download mode and wipe data in recovery mode.but the problem still there
so what should i do?
see if you can get an adb log, you could also try Samsung Kies (2.0) It may have trouble finding device/ installing drivers; you might want to connect it in download mode. There are emergency recovery options in Kies I think, but its probably same thing as Odin. Are you sure that is the correct firmware for your device? are you familiar with Odin? possible bad flash/disconnected?/bad cable?
i recommend try flashing whatever firmware you originally had. a full stock one with .pit file would be ideal.
try sammobile.com/firmwares

Try this instructions carefully. It works for any samsung phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27043121&postcount=9
but in step 3, when it says if you weren't in GB, don't worry about it. What it is, if you change version of android (i.e. from Honeycomb to ICS and vice versa), than you need to include pitfile and repartition, as well as flashing dbdata.rfs.
Thanks buddy
I will try as u suggested
and will come back soon after flashing
thanks
still same problem please help
i tried flashing as u suggested and successfully compleated but still restarting only 1 thing improved that is now am able to switch off my tab
please guys help me dnt wanna loose my tab
and 1 more thing in odeen, where i can put dbdata file
please help
You can flash dbdata on pda field as well. Make sure you use the correct file. Before you proceed with it, can you go to recovery mode and do factory wipe? Let me know if you got any mounting error message or not after wipe.
Nore: if you need a pitfile, you can download this:

Any solution yet? My device suddenly acting the same way when I doing Factory Reset in cmw recovery. I've try doing reflashing via odin to xxkl7 and dxkl3 with no lock, im still stuck bootlooping on first splash screen.
Something I found is that if Im flashing the rom using heimdall, it always failed on flashing the cache, with a message saying that heimdall being crash. Any advice?
continue holding vol up and power through 2 reboots, you should get recovery mode.
My device also experiences similar symptoms when formating /data. Perhaps the file system is corrupt or mild superbrickbug.
Anyways what I usually do Is Odin back to stock, when it passes it hangs at boot, reboot to recovery and factory reset/ wipe data. Should boot now.
For /cache issue. try the first step I mentioned to get into recovery and wipe /cache, actually format it too, if you have CWM Recovery. Wipe dalvik and factory reset too. Then I would try Odin to stock. And again wipe /data if stock Odin doesnt boot.
good luck.
I used a video on youtube to install TWRP on my galaxy s7 (SM-G930F)
Almost everything worked fine, except I was not able to make a backup. I got the error "Unable to Mount /data". A lot of videos told me that I need to 1. wipe 2. advanced 3. change filesystem 4..exFat and then EXT4. I tried this method, but TWRP froze after some time during the exFAT change process. Now my phone tries to boot into recovery mode, but won't go further than the very first screen of TWRP (where you see the version number and the logo).
What should I do now? I tried to reflash TWRP, but it still doesn't go past the very first screen. I am also not able to turn off my phone, because it keeps rebooting into recovery mode. I think that I need to find a way to change my filesystem to EXT4, but I cant do that with TWRP.
Can somebody help me plz (and sorry for my bad English)
press vol down + home button + power button to boot into download mode and reflash stock rom.

I just tried this, but it does not work.
Odin says that thread has successfully flashed all the files. My phone is installing the software update and erasing, but after that the screen is black. I cant boot the device or even enter recovery mode (download mode still work). I tried both flashing CSC and HOME_CSC, but both didnt work.
What should I do now?

The same thing happened to me. Keep trying to access the TWRP even if it takes a bit longer than an hour it will enter. You do not have to do anything else, just keep trying, when you access, you'll be able to repair the partitions, change them to fat32 instead of exfat, and then return to EXT4. It will work.

Had a feeling that this would work, but really didn't had the time to wait. Have wasted €20 to fix it, but still thanks for the reply (even if you are a few months late )
Hope this will help out other people who have the same problem
Is there anyone here facing same with my situation? today i bricked my J4 plus, Dunno if its hard bricked or soft brick, I can't enter to download mode and system restore anymore. Im just trying to get oreo back because i fell little laggy on my current os (pie). I went to samsung service center and they told to use JTAG to get it fix but its too expensive for me to pay hundreds buck for this.
Thank you
its not bricked. your battery is full drained. i had the same problem and how i fixed!!! i presed all 3 buttons and put usb cable to my pc and my phone. it goes like bootloop starts and shuts. you will wait with pressed buttons from 5 to 10 mins depend how low is your battery. and finaly will go to download mode and you can flash it then!!!
Bricked my J4+
Can someone help me with a bricked J4+?
I wanted to install TWRP, I followed the guide to the letter on how to install TWRP.
After successfully flashing TWRP 3.2.3-0 and flashing RMM bypass zip (without booting to the OS) I also performed a Wipe Cache in TWRP.
I booted to the Samsung OS and the system overall felt laggy.
I performed a Factory Reset, still the system felt laggy.
I decided to use Odin and install the Samsung factory system (thus go back to Samsung OS).
I booted successfully and decided to give TWRP 3.2.3-0 another chance.
Odin resulted in FAIL when trying to flash with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I tried different versions of Odin (from last to previous ones), different USB ports, I even tried another PC but no success.
I performed another factory reset and now the phone is hard bricked I guess because it will power on...try to get in stock recovery and Erase...and then power off. I can't get to download mode or stock recovery.
Any help I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks.

The part where I had to format the data...I have missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
I took the phone to a repair shop because it is hard bricked and it needs jtag to unbrick it.
As soon as I have it back I will try again to install TWRP.
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

This is a phone from work and I did toggle EOM unlock and USB debugging in order to flash TWRP.
I did not enter any password, face unlock, pattern or sign in to google....nothing of the sort. As soon as I opened the phone from the box tried to install TWRP knowing it will erase everything after TWRP installation. I really hate Samsung UI and wanted to try Lineage OS or another custom ROM which is not laggy like ONE UI.
After installing TWRP the phone became very laggy (obviously I did not perform a format data...my bad) I did use Odin and flashed the corresponding firmware of the phone and it did that successfully.
I tried to give TWRP another shot by flashing it again but I was getting a FAIL in Odin with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
After this I tried to flash again the same Samsung firmware but kept getting the same FAIL and the same error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I have tried all versions of Odin but the same FAIL and same error.
Now I can't even get into Download mode or Samsung recovery mode.
I press Volume Up + Volume Down and insert the micro USB cable....the phone takes at least 10 seconds to power up (Samsung logo) and then I see a blue screen with Android robot trying to perform an Erase and then fails and the phone powers off immediately.
As soon as I get the phone I will check your link on XDA and try a GSI ROM.
Which one do you recommend...this is a work phone, all I care about is speed and fluidity and it has to be a daily driver.

yeeeahhh. i am knowing that in hard way. you can check user data only if you have ORIGINAL firmware and not rooted phone(mean twrp),if you have rooted(twrp) then flash with or without user data. some firmwares on web can flash with user data, some cant.anyway as i say you can always ask for help.i will gladly help if i can. good luck.

What you're describing are symptoms of a flat battery and a direct boot to recovery.
To boot to download mode plug in the USB cable first then hold vol up, vol down and power until download mode appears.
There is absolutely no way TWRP caused the lag. TWRP runs in its own minimal OS environment and has no effect on a booted android OS whatsoever.
Lastly your device wasn't hard bricked, a device that powers on even if it doesn't boot is only soft bricked.
Usually recoverable using the right procedure.

I managed to boot into the Revovery and perform a factory reset, now the phone booted normally.
I will try and install TWRP.
When these strange things happened the device had over 80% battery...at least that's what it showed on screen.
Now I see that indeed it was flat 0% and you were right to point out that this is a flat battery problem.
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

Yes Thanks. I am at 100% battery. Can I ask a few questions on how to install TWRP?
I am on Android 9.x.x PIE.
Install TWRP and immediately force reboot to recovery.
Flash the RMM bypass.
Format data
Boot to Samsung OS.
Is this procedure correct?
Thanks.

It's correct, but if you want access to the data partition in twrp you need to also install the encryption patch.
You will also need to either install magisk or some other patch that disables dmverity.
