Did you flash the exhilerate ICS ROM and now your phone won't do anything but bootloop?
Are you finished with testing and exploring the ICS ROM and are now ready to get back to your old Gingerbread ROM and patiently wait till we get something more reliable and stable?
Well ladies and gents, here it is. A simple Odin 1-click that will flash the old gb kernel and cwm recovery so you can get back to business.
There is no /system, /data, or /cache partitions included in this package. What is included is dk boot.img (kernel), cwm recovery.img and param.lfs. There is a huge chance your device will ONLY boot into recovery after flashing this so ensure you have YourFavoriteROM.zip on your sdcard.
I have tested this multiple times this morning and it hasn't failed me yet. But, as with anything I post:
I nor is Team Fah-Q or it's affiliates responsible for anything negative that may occour to your device as a result of probably something you did. Meaning, if you don't follow the instructions fully (which the are extremely simple) then you could brick your phone or cause a zombie apocolyps.
Now time for the good stuff:
How to flash:
1 Ensure you have to appropriate drivers installed on your computer
2 Ensure you have YourFavoriteROM.zip
3 Download QuickRecover.exe to your desktop
4 Start QucikRecover.exe
5 Plug phone into PC and boot into download mode
5 Ensure the connection box turns yellow and prints a port connection (if not, check PC connection and reboot phone to recovery again)
6 Press start button and wait
7 When it is finished and the phone reboots, quickly unplug the phone and hold volume up/down buttons to get into recovery mode. If you miss it, that is ok, just simply hold power button andvolume up/down untill phone vibrates. Release power button while still holding volume buttons untill phone is in recovery mode
8 Flash YourFavoriteROM.zip.
9 Once phone is rebooted open dialer and Dial *#*#2663#*#* then tap the TSP FW Update and Touchkey FW Update button (this will bring back your soft keys)
10 Reboot

SWEET! Man I so thought I was the one messing things up when I was bootlooping. You two are the best!
I did the Quick Recover process and then flashed another ROM like it said, but when it rebooted my old settings and apps were still in place. Also the touchkeys still work without doing the dialer thing.. Did something not work? What else should I wipe/format/mount in recovery to ensure a clean flash before I flash my Rom?

I don't own the Exhilarate, but I'm assuming recovery is the same across devices. First, download a new ROM and place it on your sd card, one of your choice. There's a Slim Bean for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438192
I would suggest trying that, I've heard great things about Slim Bean. So once you have Slim Bean ROM on your device, and gapps (need both, they are both on the op of the forum), go into recovery, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik (in the advanced option). Go into Mounts and Storage, then format System, Format cache (probably redundant, but to be sure), and format data. You can do each a couple times it you want. Then flash the Slim Bean zip, the gapps zip, and reboot! Like I said, not sure if recovery is different across devices, but considering ktemp made the updates for both our recoveries, I'm assuming they're the same. DO NOT format the sd card that the ROM and gapps are in, that would be BAD! Just format/wipe what I mentioned, and you'll be golden!
---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
Make sure you've updated cwm! If not, I've been told bad things could possibly happen. Ktemp posted it in the BeanStalk ROM thread in development, a couple posts down. Flash updated cwm, then do what I said above!

Loaded this up last night.....not one issue to report. I happen to like touch wiz (as well as everything else) I hope you keep this ROM going in a stock like direction. Maybe if your plan is to change launchers etc you could branch off. Anyway....well done I love my phone!
sorry but have to ask. how did you get cwm on phone? I cant get download screen. figured it was the 2.3.6 UVLB7 build causing it. just got phone 5 days ago. had G2x piece before.
Can you give me more details in regards to your question? Have you lost the ability to get into recovery? I had the G2X as well....CWM is flashed pretty much the same way as the LG (except without the NVIDIA tool)
Things are not far enough along to have a reboot option in the ROMS yet, try power tool or something like it, works fine for me.

I wanted to amend this after ongoing usage and say things are still running solid. I did notice a lower quality audio performance as compared to dknight. Not a major concern this early in the game by any means.
The audio capabilities on Android was and is the big reason I am here and not on I-tunes so i'm particularly sensitive to that area. I run completely uncompressed FLAC's (1411 kb bit rate) and have a 64gb SD card on my phone loaded to the hilt.
My work phone is a GNEX (with Black Ice and Axiom Morphr) streaming through Google Play so I have back up ...lol

You must install ClockworkMod Recovery before flashing a ROM. I'm currently using this ROM. I can still access ClockworkMod Recovery by holding volume up, volume down, and power button at the same time, then release after Samsung logo disappears. Don't flash ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager. See the thread below to know how to flash it.

I have done all this to my G2x piece of crap so it not new to me. On my new phone the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH-T769. if I hold down the 3 buttons, vol up/dn and pwr, remove battery all that stuff I DO NOT get the "WaRNING" or download screen. It will only give me recovery screen after the Galaxy splash screen. I have tried every method available. I have tried every unlock I can find, oneclick and unlock and even Odin but it needs the download screen. It will not see phone till it totally boots. Was hoping you had something to install thru recovery screen to get to download screen. Have not tried ADB yet but have not read everything on how it works or what to do. Really have not found much info on ADB way to unlock.
So since everyone here is a lot more advanced than I am figured I would ask. Seems only a handfull of Blaze devices will not go into download mode.
1. Turn phone off and plug to pc
2.proceed to hold both volume and power button simultaneosly. Keep holding down until phone vibrates then let go of power button and continue holding volume buttons.
3. Let go of buttons as soon as u get to the next screen then press vol up to proceed to download mode.voila
P.s. I have the same baseband.
That should work for you, works for me all the time
If i helped in anyway hit the thank button
i just P.M you with a video on how to do it

Good luck
Sorry. Have tried and tried. Total time trying this exact method and others over the past 2 days about 4 hours. Will not go into download mode. Have all of the above installed and ready to go on the computer. Can get odin to connect if phone is totally booted up in working mode but that does nothing for odin. Same with superoneclick and unlock root. The last two are not configed for 2.3.6 on blaze 4g or something so they will not complete the root/unlock.
If I remove battery with usb plugged in it will vib about every 3 seconds. Once battery is put in it stops vibing but once you hold button it will vib one more time then "samsung" comes across screen goes away then blaze spash on screen and it continues to boot. Never see "warning" screen or download screen.
I have no issues getting into phone from pc or phone connecting to pc. Just no download mode.
As I said i did not want to take over your thread with this and I feel I have taken up to much of our time as it is. Thank you for your help. Hope someone has solution soon. Thanks again.

Just tryin to cover all the bases here, but you should be holding both the volumes and the power button when you put the battery back in. Then be ready to release all to quick vol up when the dl screen shows up. You should also be connected via usb.
Hope this helps.
I'm kind of a noob with this but my Verizon GS3 is doing a boot loop and I have no idea how to fix it! Please help!
First off, are you able to throw ADB commands to the phone? (a lot of the time when I get stuck in a boot loop I can still throw ADB commands at it), if so, throw adb reboot recovery to reboot into the recovery.
If you can't, remove the battery to turn it off, pop the battery back in, then hold Volume Up, Home, and Power to boot into the recovery.
Once in the recovery do a full wipe.
If you are flashing a ROM it's always suggested to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
If wiping doesn't work then restore for a previous backup (I hope you did a backup before you did whatever you did since you weren't being detailed in what you were doing at the time).

Thanks for responding! All I was doing was backing it up through ROM Manager and after the backup it went into the boot loop. When I hold the power, home, and volume down button it goes into download mode so I can't even get into the recovery. Have you heard of this before?
Try doing Volume Down, Home, and Power instead (one does download and one recovery, I can't remember which since I do everything through adb and very rarely have to do it manually).

Well the good news is I can get into recovery. The bad news is every time I try and restore it goes back into the same boot loop for a few cycles then goes back into Clockworkmod recovery. I feel like I'm getting close here...

When I do reboot system now it says "error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher."
Why not just flash a new rom to get rid of the boot loop? Or Odin back to stock n root all over again?

can you be more percifics ?
try re-install the rom
I just faced the same problem on my SGS2. Hold Volume Up + Home button + Power button to recovery mode (I guess SGS3 is the same as SGS2), then re-install the rom. If it is still not working, you may have to try another rom. To incase this problem happening, I always put two old rom and a new rom in my internal sd card, it's a lot safer, but they will use about 1GB in your phone.

The damned phone is bricked how are you going to flash another rom or wipe data? I don't think its totally bricked but it will only show the dwonload screen, buttons and usb ports do not work at all so far.
New data: after leaving the battery out for ahwil I was able to get back to the odin entry screen. I pushed the volume up and went back to where I was... this is progress. Now sure where to go from here.
Fumbling worked! Hitting the down volume worked. I am back in the previous rom. I still would like to flask 4.2.2! Please advise and comment. Thanks!

On the galaxy s3 it's down volume, power and home, then down volume to get out of the odin emulator screen. BTW captcha for a site like this reminds of the sysops of 5 line bbs' out of their mother's basements that had elaborate member approval vetting. Self importance to the disease level.
Hi - I recently tried to upgrade my ROM from a GB ROM (Octane) to one of the newer ROM's - in this case I tried the CM-9 Unofficial.
I followed the steps - copied it to the SD etc - wiped/formatted etc - installed the ROM.
Then on boot I get the Team Acid logo and the right into a boot loader - no Android OS.
So I try a system format through that - and now I'm pretty much up the creek.
I can't get into any form of recovery - I get the Team Acid and then blank screen. I know the system is working as the buttons have lit up - but they stay lit up - with zero phone activity.
As I can't put the phone into download or recovery - I can't get it to show up in Odin.
Soooo....any suggestions?

Check for the Heimdall one-click-to-stock in the stickies
Stickies and wiki on how to get into download mode.
Or just look in the thread opened just before yours..

Hi - thanks for the quick reply but I'm not tracking you - my phone won't even register in Odin - also I followed the links, particularly this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2
Now I'm even more lost
So I tried the "Heimdall One Click" and the problem lies in the fact I can't even get the phone to go to download mode like I said in my initial post - when I plug the phone in the only Samsung related item that shows is:
"Galaxy S 4G (Interface 1)" - I don't get anything like the demo page says.
Then after "reinstalling" the drivers I get a warning telling me to reboot my PC??!
So I turn the phone off - back on - same thing - I plug it into the PC and still doesn't connect.
Any more suggestions?
Take out the battery from your phone place it back in...then connect USB cable to PC(not to phone yet) then hold volume buttons(both of them) and plug in USB in about 3-5 seconds you'll see download mode

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

Cheers for that - finally got the yellow guy to show!
I've run Heimdall One Click - now if I wanted to get that CM9 ROM on there, do I simply drop it on the SD card again and install on the phone or are there better alternatives?
Once you get a kernel with recovery of some sort flashed, if you haven't already, you should be able to flash CM9. The AntonX one-click kernel will get you to that point, if you aren't already.
I seem to remember something about having to flash some of the ROMs twice, or flash CM9 before flashing another ROM, but that AOKP installed just fine over GB, but...
Read the OPs for the ROM you want to flash. Lots of good choices out there.

Well - brick as in well - brick..lol
Though I appreciate the humor - especially when you're looking at what you think is a dead phone.
I'm just trying to get some more life out of this thing before I decide to just get an S3 or maybe an S2...
since you formatted the system, why not just reinstall the cm9 then wipe cache and dav cache then fix permission? are you trying to use the right instructions for going to download mode? or recovery?

Nah, the only way to 'brick' this phone besides the famous "touch down dance" (throwing your phone at the ground), is messing up the primary(ibl/pbl) and/or secondary(sbl) bootloaders. If those are still in tact on this phone, you're just soft bricked. always solved by heimdall oneclick with bootloaders.
There is a neat tool AdamOutler made (on linux only ) to find out if you are in download mode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434
I've seen a few different screens where the graphics are messed up - even black blank screens, but the download mode detector has correctly detected download mode. Most 'galaxy s' phones are like this.
I always come back to here whenever I forget how to goto download mode

Yeah - it was the whole "not pressing the power button" while holding the up down volume buttons that was doing me in.
Every time it'd boot up off the phone - till you blokes were nice enough to tell me to not press the power button and just plug in the USB cable!
Anyway, all good now - surprised how well the phone runs ICS now given it's age.
I updated the phones ROM and rooted it perfectly. In the process of the newest rom update, while in Clockword recovery mode - wipe data was accidentally selected, in the middle of the data wipe I tried to save the phone by removing battery. Now its stuck in bootloop, Recovery mode doesn't even come up, but I succeeded in getting the phone into Download Mode, but it has the Triangle up with CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES(2 COUNTS) and CURRENT BINARY :CUSTOM. I have used Odin to try to install the Stock Att version, still no luck. as of now the phone is bricked, and can only get it into download mode. Can somebody please help? Ill die if I can't fix this phone, and Just so you know, I don't have a USB jig to delete the custom binary files. Is that the only way I can get the phone to actually turn on and function? Help plz Im freakin here...

Thank you so much, my phone is working now. I just have to find a way to reset the binary download count(get rid of the yellow triangle) without purchasing a USB jig. Any suggestions? Im trying to update firmware to ICS and then Jelly bean. I tried flashing it to a newer version(ics), but then the phone goes back into bootloop (i think bc of flashing it to ics, then jelly bean, and then back to a rooted stock verison), so I have to keep using the rooted stock firmware. Any suggestions? Thank you btw

Getting to download mode is all the USB jig does. U can get it with out one. I believe if u hold down volume and plug in cable. Its something like that I forget. And a return to stock using heimdall or Odin should fix anything

im having troubles too!!
i have a similar problem myself. I rooted my infuse it has cwm9 and ics. but for some reason the phone cuts off and starts boot looping. i cant get it in download mode or recovery. took the battery out put it back in and its starts doing it without touching the power button. ive beat and banged on it still nothing but the loop. this is the longest it has done it, usually it would quit after a few minutes but its going on 24 hours now. any help would be awesome!!!
Try holding the volume up and the volume down (but not the power button) with the USB plug already in the phone and hooked up to the computer and then insert the battery. If you don't get into download then you either need a jig or have a power button problem.

I am able to get into download mode, Ive flashed the OS a number of times back to stalk, then tried ICS, and jelly bean, and I still get the same error message I got at the beginning of this post. But I was able to reset the Binary counter, if I could get my phone to work again I would literally pay somebody to help me....I know it is possible to get it back up and running, it's just a complicated process it seems. Help please!
Chainfire had a program called Triangle Away. Do a search but be careful, it might not work with Infuse and you could get a real brick.

i have bricked my infuse many times, and xda members always have been helpful to me
i am now that the point of believing that my infuse is un-brick-able, so I am writing down my instruction as a noob for you
A/ Preparation in your computer:
1. Install/Update Java (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp) and Get the driver for the Samsung ready (download and install Kies software at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I997ZKAATT)
2. download Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
3. Download SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
4. Download: CM-9-20120620 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
5. Download: CWM-community-kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
6. Download a rom and gapps ( i use the AvatarROM and Gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227)
*connect your phone to the computer and copy and paste the 4, 5, 6 items into your sd card
* i am not so sure where you are at, but maybe you don't need flash the cm-9
what you need to do:
a. pull out the battery, put it back on, holding down both the volume buttons while plug in the use cord, the other end of the usb already plug in the computer, that would put you to the download mode
b. by now your computer would be noticing the phone is connected, you then click the Heimdall at 2 above to turn it on (read that thread so you can know what to expect) if you have the drive and the phone is really connected, then, you can click "flash" and the Heimdall will do it job - don't do anything the phone will be rebooting itself back to stock (in the thread, the dev. said you might need to flash two times, but in my case, I only did once and it worked right away)
c. be happy with result for a while, then you put the phone back to download mode and flash the Entropy Heimdall at 3 above, your phone will get the red recovery if things go the way it should
d. then you wipe everything (maybe no need but whatever... after bricking your phone, it doesn't hurt to spend a min. to do this), 2 wipes at the main red recovery and then go to advance and wipe advik catch and battery state .. i would do every wipe 2 times ... and also select the "fix permissions" in there too
e. then you flash the cwm community kernel at (5) assuming that you already put it in the sd card of your phone (if not, then you choose the option from the the red recovery "connect as usb drive, your computer wil read the phone and allow you to copy and paste - i must say here that I tried this step a few times in order to make it work, i even reboot my computer)
then you flash the ROM and Gapps that you want to (assuming that you already put them in the sd card of the phone)
if jellybean didn't go through then maybe you should try the cm-9 first ...
be patient, very patient if things to the way it should, your phone will reboot a few times and recovery will change its color ... and you will get to the ROM you want
while you are waiting for those reboots, take time to read at least the first 3 pages of the threads that I put the links above to learn about the problems and what to expect
don't panic very much it will led to bad decision
your phone will be fine as XDA dev. have spent a great deal of time, energy, thoughts on the infuse
once again, hope you understand my noob instruction and esl writing
you phone will be working again
Thanks but I didn't needed these. I may not be a pro but definitely not a noob. I was only responding to the previous comment.

Hi Guys,
i am happy to annouce that the Xperia Z2 Tablet, recieves Unoffical CM11 weekly built's by The Free Xperia Project-Team, available on there Site www.fxpblog.co
I don't take any Credits, i just thought about posting the good News for everyone to see.
Things needed:
Root
Unlocked Bootloader
Recovery
Flashing Procedure for CWM:
1. Reboot to Recovery or at Start up press Volume-Up (CWM) till the Recovery shows up.
2. back a complete Backup of your actual Rom (optional)
3. go to Mounts and storage.
4. format: cache, system, data.
5. go in advanced in the Menu and wipe "Dalvik Cache"
6. Install zip from sdcard (Internal Storage) or sdcard1 (MicroSD)
7. Choose the downloaded zip-file named like example: "FXP327-CM11-20140706-UNOFFICAL-castor" and make sure you have the right build for your device. (there is castor, for LTE version and castor_windy for the Wifi Version) and install it
8. I recommend to use the Paranoid Android Google apps package also know as "PA-Gapps"
9. Install the Latest PA-Gapps for Kitkat reapeat Step 7 just with the PA-Gapps.
10. Reboot to System.
You should now have everthing installed and working.

I'd assume because the LTE version has to support LTE antenna and software and schtuff.
It is still at least 64MB smaller than the pollux windy ROM-
which should be similar in size.
I have had no luck booting the kernel boot.img contained in the
castor_windy ROM zip file on a sgp51x.

Weird though, since I can't even get back into cwm - nor can I end the bootloop with the power button (I time holding volume-down to get into fastboot and end the bootloop like that).
EDIT: In fact, "fastboot devices" lists nothing when I do that. So, the way I have to end the bootloop is to connect it to my PC via USB, press volume-down when the devices powers down, and then I hear the device connected sound from Windows. If I then do nothing, the bootloop continues after a while. If I issue "fastboot devices", I get nothing. Yanking out the USB cable shuts the device down.
So strange.

I saw the bootloop as well.
I went back to doomlords rooted stock kernel with CWM.
Then reflashed one of my earlier stock ROM backups.
Out of habit one of the first things I do with new HW
is to take a few full backups from the recovery after
the device is rooted and has a custom recovery.
The unusual thing with the Sony devices is that the recovery
shares the kernel image - so you have to pay attention
to both the kernel version and the ROM version.

Make sure to hold the tiny red button at least until it buzzes 3 times. Make sure you're not plugged in while doing this. This basically just turns the tablet off. Then I hold up volume while plugging in to my computer. Just look around on the forums/google for any SGP511 or SGP512 ftf file.

Alright, thanks a million. I couldn't find a ftf specifically for the SGP512, but according to this comment a specific SGP511 ftf will work as well.
I'm guessing Flashtool is pretty self-explanatory (it looks pretty straightforward), but if not, I'll be back .
Thanks again!

Well, I must have done something wrong.
So, I got Flashtool to recognise the device exactly as you said. However, Flashtool didn't have an option for showing/opening ftf files, so I disconnected the device. I then Googled the exact procedure (and felt like an idiot), found it, and wanted to reconnect the device.
No luck. All I get now is a blue light when I press volume-up and connect it via USB. Flashtool recognises nothing. I also turned it back on into the bootloop, pressed the red button, and tried again - no luck. Any ideas?
