A Status 7 error most of the time means that theres an issue in the updater-script. Most of the time its something like a "comma" where a semi colon is supposed to be

I've had so much trouble with this damn phone. I don't know why its being so much harder then the e4gt. My biggest problem is all the dead links. I'm barely getting it to work. I got cm7 now I'm trying for cm9. Then on to cm10 if all goes well.:beer:

[Q&A] Miui For Infuse Rom

Notice:
This thread is for general questions regarding MIUI FOR INFUSE ROM.
sticky please
I flashed miui about a week ago. The .30 edition.
Well I want to update and when I try to boot into cwm it just sits at Samsung screen.
I tried to flash the cwm through Tom manager and still nothing. =\
I was having the same problem booting into cwm. I followed LG_iiNsTiiNcT's directions that are below via the2rrell and I was able to boot Jordan's update. Thanks guys.
the2rrell said:
i have seen 2 fixes for this...... this is one of them from "LG"
Okay so if you were one of the few people who lost recovery for some weird reason "ME" no need to unbrick to stock and re-flash I have a solution.
1: Download sgs kernel flasher
2: Download CWM community kernel
3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

sorry for the dumb question, but can we flash any gb kernel (such as infusion 1.1) onto MIUI to improve battery life or will that get me stuck in a boot loop?

That's weird than, I haven't been on gb for a while now and I flashed miui the other day. I wasn't a big fan of it at the time but now I think I may give it another shot. I'm not sure which version I used.

Well I had great success with 1.9.23 and 1.9.30. Read about all the people having issues with CWM and laughed thinking they obviously did something wrong. Well lo and behold, updated to 1.10.7 and now I have no recovery. Gah! So what is my recourse? I flashed exactly as I did before so it wasn't user error. Anyone have a clue as to how to get Recovery back?
Voo-Doo??
I've ready everywhere about this rom but I cannot find the answer for this!
Do I need to turn off Voo-Doo lag fix for this rom??
Thanks

Well I use MERetail-MEARET rom.
I have not flashed this rom yet. To tell you the truth i did not know it was available to flash until a minute ago. I had not been checking that part of the dev section lately. I'm downloading that rom now and i will flash it later this evening when i get some free time to see what is going on with the dialer, plus i haven't tried that rom yet and it will give me a new toy to play with for a little bit. Like i said before i had this problem with the Indian rom and it bugged the hell out of me. Give me some time and ill get back to you on this later tonight or tomorrow.

Alright it's fine I just hoped you can do it today and tell me what you've done on the Indian rom maybe it's same issue. untill you flash that rom and have some time for this.
Tried to get the dialer problem fixed and this is above my knowledge. Since no one else has replied your best bet would be to go back to stock or flash another rom where the dial pad is not a problem. Sorry i tried, it's just beyond me.

Is it just an issue with the dialer .apk file, and if so why not mod the rom by using another rom's dialer. apk? I'm not even sure if the dialer and phone. apk's are able to be swapped, as they may be too deeply integrated within the A2's framework. Sorta beyond my knowledge base.

[Q] Need Advice Loading [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid

Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.
With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

Also, how did you flash CWM? If the answer is anything other than "NVflash" stop what you're doing and search in the dev section for NVflash

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Ok, that is good that you used nvflash to get CWM on your phone, that definitely wasn't the problem. Like he said earlier, could've been the kernel.

Still on the LG splash with blue, I am now considering dancing around the device wearing a tinfoil hat and a chickenfoot necklace... It would be incredibly cool if there was a way to pull a logfile after install or see one while the install is happening.
How long should this normally take? Almost 1 hr now..

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.
I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!
There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Thanks again, and I will not give up on this, I am way more stubborn than that. I just flashed CWM v5.8.1.3 and restoring. I am going to try to load yet another variation of ICS and report the outcome. If nothing else, I do like this touch image I just loaded!
Have you tried doing a wipe before installing a rom? I've had times where known good roms won't boot just because I didn't wipe before installing it. If your gonna give this method a go try using this to wipe it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854850
Success!
Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.
Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:

2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it
3. Reboot to recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap file first the infuse_ubuntu zip then reboot recovery may do it itself
4. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged
5. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features.
if it doesnt boot up go into ubuntu's recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap then saucy
To update partially go to terminal on your phone and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
the password is phablet
I am working on porting the flipped version which has more features

I did the wipes and partition formats like you instructed from CWM (version 6.1 I think, can't check ATM). I flashed the first zip and it aborted and said please flash again to confirm. I did, a status bar appeared then it rebooted to the white Samsung logo boot screen and sat there for a good thirty minutes before I got fed up and pulled the battery. Now when I boot I get the black screen with the Samsung logo and I can't boot into recovery anymore so I'll have to plug it up to Odin and repartition. I left it at home though so its gonna be a while.

I would be interested in helping test this as well. I'm not super experienced, but I have been flashing roms on my infuse for a while(not my daily driver, I use a nexus 4) I have no problem abusing it. I would need some details on getting started with this, and what details you need, from me to help.
I have already downloaded the files from earlier in the thread. my current recover is cwm 6.0.3.2 but I think one of the zips replaces that, right? I'm posting the info to make sure there hasn't been a problem with changing over from there.

[Q] I destroyed my phone?

Well after a lot of reading and watching videos(apparently not enough),i seem to have gotten myself into something i am not sure i can get out of.I followed all the steps to install TWRP on my SGH-I727 AT&T Skyrocket using Straight Talk.That went ok,i got it installed,booted into it and forgot to backup my data first!I did a wipe first.... no idea why
I had the CM-11-20140106-nightly skyrocket.zip file on my external sd card.I get to the sd card and see the zip file,select it,I clicked install and the screen says checking for MD5 file...Skipping MD5 check no MD5 File found,then FAILED.
I also put gapps on sd card and it installs that fine.
So now when i try to reboot it just goes to the twrp screen and i can't get any further.Of course i can't restore because i didnt backup...
i was running 4.1.2 jb,am i totally screwed or what?I tried to reinstall with kies but it won't connect to phone now
Install cwm 6.0.3.7 and try again I have had nothing but a pita using twrp lately on newer android builds

Messing around,i got a notice that SU wasn't installed from twrp,so i said yes install.It did and phone came back up.I clicked the SU app and went through the update steps.Everything seems to be working ok,i suspect i just rooted my phone! Lol I might go ahead and boot back into twrp,do a backup and see if i can install the CM again,think i will be okay?
Yea you just rooted it, but cm will install if you use cwm

Gotcha,didn't even notice the button.
Had lots of fun yesterday plying with my phone.I got bold and installed CM 11 kit kat 4.4 and gapps.Gapps seems to have flaked out as i got all kinds of stopped working errors.Did a wipe and reinstalled CM 11.Still trying to find a good working version of gapps.I might drop down to CM 10.2 because it is stable and see if i can get a gapp version to work with that.
In the end,i haven't bricked my phone yet and i am doing a lot of reading and learning a lot,all good

do some more reading.
theres only one specfic gapps version that will work with cm11, its in their installation/instructions page.
hard bricking will happen if you flash something not meant for our phones, need it jtaged to fix it.
soft bricking will happen if you dont folllow devs instructions but is easily recoverable
