[Q] Stuck on "Performing factory data reset"

I removed the ICS build and use ODIN to return back to stock build.
Still having some problem so i did a data reset. It keep getting stuck there and i already done it three times.
Any suggestions?

So you flashed GB stock.tar through Odin? Do you mean factory/data reset in clockwork recovery? Flashing back to stock should take away your root so you would have to flash CWM again, make a nandroid backup, and flash superuser zip again.
What problems where you having before and after the ICS build?
Explain a bit further exactly what you did.

I installed STOCK Tar using ODIN.
It is booting up fine except i keep getting errors like "android.process.acore" has stopped unexpectedly. Most of the android apps is not working, like phone, contacts, calendars, etc.
I try to do a factory reset and it keep stopping halfway and hangs.

Your going to have to flash the kj2 modem. I had the same problem. I saw that the ucalc4 was still there, its on its own partition so it doesn't get changed when you flash stock tar. What I did...
1. Flash cwm in Odin
2. Boot into cwm (do backup)
3. Flash kj2 modem (I did it twice)
4. Reboot
5. Check baseband (should be uckj2)
This made the FC's go away. It seemed to me that the stock tar doesn't like that baseband, I can't explain why though. Didn't make sense to me but I fixed it. Also I found the ICS leak doesn't like stock recovery. Fyi

Little bit lost here.
I already flash it twice using ODIN and using the uckj2 build.

Build is one thing, baseband is different. When you flash stock your build will be uckj2, you say your on it. OK good. Now check your baseband, will probably still be the ICS baseband ucalc4, that is your modem. You need to flash the uckj2 modem in cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20157930
Once you flash that your baseband will be uckj2. That should fix your fc's. Did for me. If not, you may need to try something else which I will explain if need be that will clean things up.

OK. What you need to do then is clean things up. There are two ways that I use but I prefer #1.
1. Flash darkside superwipe in cwm. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
OR
2. Flash stock recovery. Wipe data/factory reset. Do a battery pull. Go into Odin and flash k0nanes tar.
Then you can cwm, root, flash anything you want.

Thanks a lot hcyplr29 and Presbycusis.
I use darkside's flash and then reload stock.
Everything is fine now.

Glad to hear that. I swear by darkside between ROMS.

Yah....Darkside.Wipe is killer. Glad to hear your back in action. It is confusing at first getting OS version, kernel, and modem all strait. It is a good learning experience.

basically those fc's were becuz the partition table needs to be reset after flashing ics to go back to gb. Darkside does this.

I would just go back to 5.8. It's much better for me. Plus it works far better for ics builds. But yeah, you can use your buttons again for that old ass version you got now

[Q] Soft-Bricked friend's Infuse

I was trying to flash stock GB from Froyo on my friend's new infuse..
I followed all the instructions, however I got a Phone-!-PC screen.
I tried a JIG to get into DL mode but that didn't work.
Any help would be nice, thanks

That phone-!-pc screen is a form of download mode. You can use Odin here. Just reset Odin and restart your flash.

That's fine, and will work, but is unnecessary. You can flash the Gingerbread Odin packages in this mode also. If you restart the 2.3.6 package that you were attempting before, it will flash in this mode.

And to clear up any confusion, you DO need to be in download mode to use GTG's Ultimate Unbrick. You were in download mode, and that's why it worked for you.
EDIT: I just added this to the FAQ in my thread for the rooted UCLB3 Odin packages that I put together.:
3.) My phone is displaying something that looks like this: Phone-!-PC. What is this, and can I use these Odin packages from here?
That is still download mode. If you reach that screen, a flash has been interrupted or has failed, and you are in a type of backup download mode. Reset Odin, and start over with your flash. These packages will flash in this mode, just as they will in regular download mode.

Codename Android 2.0 stuck in win recovery

I used the CWM to install CNA b4.zip, the Codename Android package.
Now all my phone does is boot into a menu that says:
install wipe
backup restore
mount settings
advanced reboot
How do I get into ICS?

sounds like he lost root. You will probably need to use heimdall one click to get back to kj6. Use the one I packaged that can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822626
Then flash to ICS and then to the rom you want.

I had this happen to me when I tried to flash CNA b4. No matter what I did I could not get out of recovery when trying to flash. I thought for sure I would have to go back to stock but I just fully wiped and reinstalled AOKP with no problems. It may have been a bad download or something but I had that issue as well.

Recovery Issue

So I'm having this issue with recovery. I recently got this Infuse and it was running cm9 but used the ODIN UCLB3 return to stock method cause cm9 was giving me issues and I always preferred running stock. Anyways, stock is painfully slow and laggy, so I wanna run jb 4.2.2. Now, here's my issue: I decided to try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129 and followed the instructions but whenever I reboot to recovery, instead of the recovery menu appearing, what does show up is a mess of colored lines that look as if the lcd screen was cracked and nothing really happens no matter what button I press... I then wanted to try another recovery, so I used the ODIN method to install Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel with Red CWM Recovery and doing so made the recovery menu show up correctly!! I then followed the steps in the rom thread and it said to flash cm9 and gapps, reboot and when it got stuck in the splash to use power + vol up+down method to get back to recovery. well, whenever i do this, it does go back to recovery but, once again, instead of the recovery menu showing up, it shows all the messed up colored lines... i then have to use the odin return to stock once more and go back to stock :/ Im not at all experienced with samsung devices as all my previous ones were htc's, so any guidence and help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advanced!

Sounds like you need to flash the GB bootloaders. Use qksters Heimdall found in my signature.

thanks for ur reply! i downloaded the heimdall back to stock but the heimdall dd kernel + red cwm links didnt work.... though, i believe its the same as the odin dd kernel + red cwm? would it be safe to use the odin version instead?
EDIT: well, im having another issue now... when using heimdall to flash the uclb3, it says i need to install the drivers... on the thread i ur sig it says to set them up and using heimdall method it prompts (right after the failed flash) to download the drivers, and, in order to do so, i would have to select "Samsung USB Composite" on the window that openned later, but that specific driver never shows up for install on the list... any help?

Drivers should be in the package. Don't recall exactly but I think the file is labelled zadig. I don't use Odin but if you can flash bootloaders from it you should be okay.

If you get rainbow effect again, you will need to flash bootloaders.

I recommend reading, reading, then reading that thread many more times. I have read it and followed the links in it many times. About every time I do I notice or pay attention to something else helpful.

definitely, and especially since this is all so new to me coming from htc... and, to add even more reasons to the convenience of reading all about the infuse, i think this is gonna be my daily device for quite some time... so i better read up on all i can!!

Also remember that the file format changes to MDT and any screw ups will probably require a return to stock using Heimdall or Odin. Read the OP instructions very carefully.
This is a guide guide to use too.
