Hello,
I have been using this site for days now and accomplished everything I have needed to so far.
I rooted and flashed about 6 roms and found the Aeon v1.4 to be the best for me regarding my infuse 4g.
I tried to install the " Unofficial CM9 rom" for the ics look and it turned my phone into a paperweight.
Symptoms:
-Phone will not go into recovery
-will not turn on
-when attempting to turn it on, i get a barely noticable millisecond flash and then nothing.
The phone, however, will go into download mode.
I tried odin and did the repartition, pit, etc..
I tried heimdal (however its spelled) and it wont recognize drivers. (i installed drivers and they worked for odin)
I basically just want to put Aeon back on my phone and actually use my phone.. nothing else. I would appreciate any insight into the matter.
Thank you very much.
Chris.
I recently had the same problem when I tried to downgrade back to GB. I used Odin to reflash my phone using this.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523.....

I'll definately let you know how it worked out though, thank you!
Try other usb ports & another usb cable if possible.

You need to go back to stock. Look for it in the software part. It is the ultimate gtg unbrick. It works flawless.
OP no need to double Post Threads of the same issue, your Thread in the General Section is no longer, utilize this thread for your issues. Thank You.

I've been trying all 3 ports and decided to just stick to the on directly connected to the motherboard. Also have been using "USB Deview" to remove usb connections in order for phone to recognize the infuse drivers i unzipped and put on the desktop. Ill try another cord as well, thank you.

I have tried that one i beleive, but my phone was originally Froyo and "GTG's ultimate unbrick" is for Gingerbread.. (GB PIT file) (it said my phone couldnt upgrade to GB when i was unrooted). I'll Try again though, couldnt hurt. Thanks.
You should go back to stock rom via Odin

I would absolutely love to flash it back stock, problem is I can find good files to drop me back to stock.. or maybe its the phone, idk. I even tried files used from the dump of someones stock phone to recreate a "stock" version. Next step is trying Gtg's Ultimate unbrick again.
I'll keep you guys updated, thanks for all your help.
I dont have enough posts to be able to put in outside links but if someone needs the GTG's_Ultimate_Unbrick.zip link, i found it. )Most of the links are broken and its a pain to find) Just PM me.

Thank you very much, I have tried those. This is my fifth day doing this and i cant seem to get Heimdall to work. I tried doing as much research as possible before posting a problem.
For Heimdall even though when it asks for drivers I can click on "Samsung usb composite device" and reflash but it just says "installing drivers" and loops over again.
For Odin its just not continuing to increase the progress bar or add anything new to the log screen.. Pretty confused at this point.
My phone is bricked from flashing the wrong rom. I dont mind which OS i go to because im going to end up flashing Aeon v1.4 again anyways since it looked and worked great.
Thanks for the links!
Update
[Well, i still cant get odin to get past the factoryfs.rfs ...
Phone is still only showing an 1/8 inch progress bar..
I keep trying Heimdall but no luck... i do not have file upload options in Heimdall though... is that normal?
If anyone has any other ideas, please share..
Here is a post I did for someone else, I hope it will be helpful to you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33215877&postcount=15
(The link I mention in post 13 is qkster's Heimdall link)
I'll get right on it. Thank you.
I think im missing some tar files... only thing in the video i can think of is that he mentions having odins tar files for some reason while using heimdall on-click.. I do have some files on my desktop > pit, phone and pda files but no other ones..
Also in the video it mentions the binary at the top of your screen in download mode. Mine says: Custom binary download: NO
Current binary: Samsung official
That normal for someone who flashed 6 roms?
On top of it all dev-host isnt downloading anything for me... click and click and nothing.
I think i just need some expert phone help, lol...
I just put mine in download and binary also says 'no'. I have lost count as to the number of roms I have flashed.
I think you are close but from my end I can't tell what is missing. I have used odin with no problem and yet my preference is Heimdall.
Maybe take some time and go through some of qkster's threads, including the link to his Heimdall tutorial. Some have found that they did not have the latest version of Java while others did not know that you have to use the same port you were using each time you use Heimdall. Others did not know that Heimdall has it's own drivers or that they should uninstall kies first.
Qkster may drop by this thread and if he has suggestions he will post. He has forgotten more about the Infuse than I know.
I installed then uninstalled Kies
I do have the latest version of Java.
I downloaded a binary version of Heimdall for the Zadig driver file so that i can manually put in the samsung driver before opening the one click Heimdall
I have followed tutorials to the letter so much that when i watched the video it seemed like I was knowledgeably far beyond the video's tutorial.
Im am however, unsure what you mean by using the same port (please keep in mind that im on the computer trying to fix my phone about 45 min out of every hour for about 8 hours a day for the past 5 days)... I actually had to erase all the zip files and tar files and such just to re-grasp where i was at because my desktop was overloaded...
Oh and i read a thread about bricking your phone (good read) and i think i screwed it up somewhere in the bootloaders... its not enough to hard brick it since i can still go into DL mode but something is definately wrong.
I do appreciate your advice and concern. Thank you again.
Hopefully we can come to a conclusion soon and i can pass on my knowledge...

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Pony. I'm not very good at getting the drivers installed.
What you noted is all that I can recommend.
Update java. Install Samsung USB device. Install Zadig from Heimdall. Sometimes it take a reboot or two with the PC. Other times, it takes a different PC altogether. It may also work by moving the USB cord to a different usb port.
It has been almost a year since I tried Odin. No help there.
I can tell you that after you get the heimdall to work, save that cord and that usb port only for heimdall and don't install Odin over it.
With all the heimdall-1-click packages available, there are many options to restore from soft brick or return to stock.
jscott30 made a bunch of Odin packages as well if Heimdall is not working for that person.
Perseverance is the key. We have all been there. I can tell you that the more mistakes you make, the more you will learn.

I've seen a few others with this problem with no resolution.
First off... My drivers work, I can move files back and forth, and odin and pst both recognize the phone. I have tried multiple computers, and multiple usb ports, and multiple cables, 'F reset time' & 'Auto Reboot' checked and unchecked, battery in and battery out, SIM in and SIM out, even had Verizon replace the SIM. I have tried multiple ROMS (stock and custom, rooted and unrooted) and all exhibit the same behavior... and yes I am in download mode. I've factory reset both ways (recovery mode, and privacy settings), and tried to clear the cache in recovery mode to see if that helped.
When flashing a ROM everything goes fine until it gets to cp_modem.bin and then odin/pst hangs for a minute and then fails. I have tried to just flash the radio and i get the same failure. Other bins in ROMs flash fine.
Any ideas on how to fix???

What Odin are you using to flash?
Why are you trying to flash a new radio? Where did you get the radio?
Have you tried downloading a new radio?
Have you tried a different phone.
You said you have new sim, different roms. All of which are of no importance, because your Radio does not have anything to do with these 2.
I've tried both Odin 1.85 and 1.3.
I started out trying to flash a new ROM, however, all the ROMS fail in the same place (while flashing cp_modem.bin). That's why i tried to just flash the radio. I got the radio from the XDA thread post for people who flashed to gingerbread but wanted to use the EE4 radio. I do not have another phone to try. The SIM was a red herring... and I agree it has no bearing on the problem, which is that I am unable to flash a radio to the phone as part of ROM or by itself.
How do I know other parts of the full ROM flashes are successful? Because after the failure I can boot the phone (obviously it wont connect to the cell network though without a valid radio though).
try using Odin3 v1.7. See if that is any different. trying to narrow down the errors here.
same result... It's definitely the phone, because if I flash stock ED2 (which fails on cp_modem.bin) then boot the phone, and take the EE4 update from verizon, it also fails. Not sure what on the phone could be causing this... There ought to be a way to just blast EVERYTHING off the phone and start from scratch with a fresh file system. It's like the thing needs to be reformatted.
After you put the phone in download mode, re-insert the battery, before flashing. See if that helps.
tried that (1st post)
This may seem silly, but have you tried to flash again without restarting the phone after you get the error?

Now THAT is interesting. Like the guy above me said, sometimes just running Odin again fixes it, however, if the OTA update fails too, the only thing that makes sense is a hardware failure.
Wait, how can you attempt to take the OTA without a radio installed?!

Have you tried flashing with Samsung PST lite? It is much more reliable than Odin.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
From the previous replies...
I'm taking the update from verizon over wifi.
I have tried PST lite and get the same result.
I really don't think this is Odin/PST/USB/ROM/Battery etc.. problem. I think the phone is in a state that is preventing the modem from being flashed. either a hardware failure occurred, or the first flash which failed left the phone in a FUBAR state.
Unless there is a way to completely wipe/format the phone (or at least the area where the modem gets flashed) I think the phone is toast. Does such a process exist?
I know when flashing the Samsung Galaxy tab you do the Odin repartition feature. This clears everything and pretty much starts you over. I had to use this to flash my TMO Galaxy Tab using the European build so it could be rooted.
Not saying try it, but as far as wiping completely, take out your sdcard and try and Odin using the repartition feature.
Check out IMNUTS "HOW TO FIX YOUR PHONE" Post. Hopefully this will get you fixed.
tried re-partitioning to no avail. Verizon is replacing the phone, however I was hoping I could figure out what caused the phone to end up in this state in the first place to avoid it in the future!
Thanks to those that had suggestions. Hopefully, someone will figure it out in the future.
I think my infuse finally died completely. For the past couple days I was getting SOD every 2 or 3 hours. Finally I decided to do the back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021. I follow all of the instructions, but the program stopped working. Then I decided to try again, but this time only pixels came up. I removed the battery and tried again and all I'm getting is a white screen with pixels. Recovery mode does not work, nor does download mode. The phone also starts overheating if I plug it into a charger. Is there anything I can do?

I had the same thing happen to me last night when flashing the Entropy Kernel GB BL and all that jazz wtih odin. I unplugged cable after it froze up pulled battery attempted to return to dl mode but it went to the firmware update failed try kies recovery or whateves then I just tried odin again and it worked like a charm. I don't know what the deal was but froze up at factoryfs.rfs place and everything. So might just try that if this hasn't been resolved.
When its running rfs you should se a blue progress bar it takes about 5-8 mins to finish in my experience how long are you giving it
pink unicorn with swagga
This should work!
1. Download Blue CWM recovery on ur pc. http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
2. Use odin and flash blue recovery (PDA)
3. May reboot into recovery or ull need todo 3 putton
4. Wipe/factory reset
5. Flash gingerbread rom on
6.go to advance>reboot recovery
7. Reflash that gingerbread rom on
8. Reboot!!
Sigh, so i'm back again, 2nd time messing up my phone in 3 weeks......This time its going to cost me if I don't get an answer. I bricked my phone, i tried everything, and I mean everything, and it just won't finish flashing via Odin "pc" and I can't my mac to find the Pit files because of Stupid Kies.
Anyway, what did I do again? well i flashed the abyss kernel and then immediately via CWM tried to restore my Criskelo ROM and it would not get past the boot up screen, "the one before the animation" ....i wiped cache, tried restoring my stock Rom, tried wiping dalvick cache, you name it. None of that work, the only thing i could get into at the time was CWM and Odin mode "download mode".....I continued to try to figure it out for my self, and tried repeatedly to flash via odin.....back to a stock rom and i screwed up so much more now because of that. I can't get into clockworkmod anymore....i can't get into recovery, NONE OF THAT ....Only thing i see when i put on my phone is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." ...I can get into Odin mode, but NOTHING ELSE. PLEASE SOMEONE HELPPPPP ME!. I don't know what I am going to do if i don't back my phone.
btw, if you wanted to know how far I got in the whole flashing via Odin.

And it's been sitting there about 20 minutes now. Nothing else happening with Odin. My HD activity light is flashing, so something is happening, but, I thought it should be rather quick.
Has Odin actually done anything on the phone? Is it bricked at this point??
EDIT 1: Gave up, yanked the cable and Odin showed "Failed." Power cycled the phone and got the "uh-oh" Download Mode screen (phone-!-pc). Reconnected to PC, Odin saw it, clicked Start again and the process went all the way through and rebooted the phone. Now I'm looking at the Samsung logo and the female computer voice just told me I had about 2 minutes remaining.
EDIT 2: Phone rebooted. Have red recovery now. All is well. SuperUser installed. Installing TiBu right now.
Sounds like you're on your way. Just make sure that you flash an ICS rom before flashing a JB rom.
But to answer your question, it should only take 10 secs or so to flash a kernel.

Kies failed installation
Hello,
Thank you for your help with this.
I was trying to free up some space on my wifes Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500 but for some reason Kies 2.2 did not detect pics and vids and asked me to install a firmware update which may resolve this, which I attempted to do somewhat unsuccessfully. I sourced the firmware it recommended and began the installation which it gave an error for and then left her phone somewhat bricked I think.
That's when I started checking the forums because I've updated a few Android phones to new OS's using a variety of aps, I came across this xda-developers blog about how to use odin v.1.85 to correctly install the pda software.
I began the process and then ran into a problem which is instead of flying through the steps it hung at the setup connection stage. I waited over an hour on the second attempt to see if it would continue but no joy, I did keep checking the processes in task manager to see if the software was still responding okay and it seemed fine I checked the communications through com port an there was data being written to the handset aswell.
When I disconnect the phone it does not go in to download screen for what was timed as 40 mins, I am also not sure why this is.
After more reading and research on the concern I found Odin v4.28 worked with Europa_I5500_v1.0.ops which I have somewhat adjusted using a development package but there are other ops files available for many of the handsets on market. This software installed the firmware I downloaded GT-I5500 H3G. I realize the difference in the s/w where one does not support ops files
Its 12:30 now and it is all done phone working okay. No thanks to Kies which caused a me a lot of grief this evening and a wasted night.
Thank you for all your help, if it wasn't for people like you I would still be trying to fix the handset so many thanks.
Hey People
I posted this on S5 cf auto root tread but no one is helping me. has been 2 days
Im new here so if this is the wrong place to post delete or please point me in the right direction
I just tried rooting my SM G900I (LTE)?
Im brand new to android and thought it would be a good idea to root my phone right off the bat follow a guide off you tube using these softwares:
CF-Auto-Root-kltelgt-kltelgt-smg900l
Odin3_v3.09
Anyway it didnt work and ive just peed my pants (just a little) : have the feeling ive bricked a $500 new phone
this is what it says on the download screen with its stuck on (have tried a soft reset battery out for over a Minuit) ;
could not do normal boot
odin mode
Product name: SM G900I
Current Binary: custom
System Reset: official
Reactivation Lock (kk): off
knox warranty void: 0x1 (4)
qualcom secure boot: enable (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1 T1 R1 A1 P1
UDC Start
Ive always run it in administrator mode and have tried 2 different usb cables, one is brand new with the phone and a mates one . one of the guides I was following said to use a 2.0 cable not 3.0 im pretty sure mine are all 2.0
anyway heres some of the dialog from odin if it helps:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

Odin seems to think everything is fine as it says Pass in green but the phone is still stuck in download mode with the same dialog .
By the way I've tried a lot more than 4 time with the same method I think it must be stuck on (4) though
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
You can try a couple things. From a powered off state, hold volume up, power, home button. It should boot into the custom recovery, from there you want to wipe - cache, dalvik, and see if it boots. If not, Odin back to stock and start over. You'll need to find the correct file for your phone, probably on sammobile.com.

Thanks bro
I tried the vol up, power and home but it goes straight to the download screen its stuck on , with the : could not do normal boot. etc
If I try odin back to stock firmware with the phone stuck like this is there any chance it would work?
Yes, it will work. Basically, you would be flashing the same thing Samsung does to restore a phone to factory status.
this why i don't do experiment to my phone before this phone all my phone was root because was cheap phones

There is nothing wrong with rooting an expensive phone, as long as you are prepared and have the files you need to recover from something gone wrong.

Yeah defiantly naive of me especially after coming from using apple not really knowing the first thing about android. although there's no info on there that mattered too much.
my only reason for rooting is so I can get an app like guardian I think its called or something similar made by XDA so I can regulate the apps I use as its pretty stupid some of the permissions you have to give to even basic apps such anything from browser history, access to contacts and caller id etc. when there is really no need.
im not paranoid I just don't believe you should give private info so readily. but im back to square one anyway haha
So you got it running?

Yeah seems to be working fine, is weird as nothings been wiped even text messages still there
Should I have another go at rooting it hahaha
I would, worst case scenario is you'll have to reflash original tar in Odin again

Are you sure you have Auto Reboot checked?
Also......check CP, not AP. In fact, I used Odin 3.10 instead of 3.09.
Good luck.
