I successfully rooted my G2x and attempted to flash the hellfire sandwich rom. I believe I did everything correctly, but I have wound up in a situation identical to what is described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059155
I have attempted the suggested recovery steps, but my computer does not detect the g2x when holding the volume buttons and then connecting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I am more than willing to donate to anyone able to help me out of this mess.
How did you install your recovery? Did you use nvflasher to root and install cwm? Or did you install rom manager and click the flash recovery button?

I hope that means this will be easy to fix
It's official, I'm a noob
I didnt see the computer detect it and try to install drivers like in the videos, but when I looked for it under device manager, it was there.

Another crisis averted by following the directions! Glad to hear you fixed it.

You were right! Than ****ing god. I JUST bought it last night, too; I almost didn't sleep at all...my girlfriend kept saying "Go to sleep, you'll figure it out in the morning!" Should have just listened, and instead I was up another 2 hours just plugging my phone in and out, rebooting it, and scouring the forums desperately...

Heheh...actually I didn't follow the directions! The ones that I was watching showed an error message popping up, and to then look in the device manager; I got an error message once but thought it was wrong and then kept trying to replicate it, but no error message showed. I just hadn't thought to just look in the device manager, and when I did, there it was! ^_^

Not impossible, just improbable, if you attach the phone with something which operates at a file-system level you can brick it. Granted with NV flash, we can NV flash CWM back on and we know we can flash a baseband, so there's not much else which we could access that we could permanately screw-up which can't be unscrewed in some fashion.
hope you have the july baseband before rooting, or else you made an extra step for yourself
I'm need to have the following, but cannot find a working link. Any ideas?

yes, this is made for windows computers and will work. uzip it and run the returntostoxk.bat file it will confirm your phone is connected (you have to be in fastboot mode) and after that just press enter and let it run and complete and youll be back to stock. you have to reroot your phone too, so id just update to the ota 2.6 and then root that, then intall your atrix bootstrap and then the bionic recovery from rom manager. then your ready to flash some roms again.

That was my only guess. I bought it mint from ebay. I'm hoping that is the issue with a bloatwsre getting removed.
Well...so good news and bad news.
This was phone I had purchased from Ebay. I works great. The problem I started with it receiving an update for 2.3.6, but it failed when attempting to update. From what I have read, this could be related bloated getting deleted.
I first attempted to find InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip, but wasn't able to find a working link.
I was pointed to using a .bat file by Rob in this thread. Thanks a bunch Rob. All went well; however, when attempting to perfrom the update to 2.3.6 it now gives me an out of system memory error. It doesn't even start to download the update...odd. It then ask me to factory reset. however, the factory reset then takes me back into a fastboot mode.
Any ideas of next steps? Do I need to attempt finding the original InlineFlashing file? If so, any idea where to find it?
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the help.

Hi Matt -
Would this work if I'm already on 2.3.5 and need to restore back to default or MUST I be on 2.3.6 first? I can't get to 2.3.6 right now due to a failed update.
for that, im not sure. im under the impression that it's fine.
at this point its better that what you got. {i think}
let me search around a little bit and see if i can get a better answer

This whole mess started when you tried to flash MEARET firmware on your AT&T phone. NEVER mix firmware!
And trying recovery at this point is not going to work, as the ICS zip is just a large patch file for 2.3.6. And since it failed on the fxz, a portion of your system is missing so ICS won't install. You need to fxz back.
What step is the script falling at? A screenshot would be helpful.
And for the future, please post questions in the Q&A form.

Well I hate to tell you man. But you are soft bricked until we find an fxz for ICS.
Recovery and cdrom are failing because cdt.bin isn't flashing. And we haven't found a fix for this yet.
Although the strange thing is that this shouldn't be happening on the first leak... but it is...
So you're bricked mate.

ok, i will wait.
thanks.
but please explain to me.i had a motorola a1200 and a siemens sx1.when i flashed a firmware, all the flash memory erased and new data wrote at flash.if i had bootloader, all was fine.the only method to brick a phone was to replace the battery when flash the bootloader(or flash false bootloader).
at A2, why when i write a new bootloader and new mbr(and partition table?) is necessary to flash the same or newer edition of firmware?this is because bootloader is locked?
i thought when i flash a new firmware, all the flash memory erased and writes new data(at the begining the bootloader, after mbr with partition table, after the image(i think this is the kernel of linux) and all other the data)

If you did the OTA ICS update you WILL NOT be able to flash the FXZ back. We have no way out of this right now. And if you are bootlooping or stuck on the splash screen then you are bricked. Sorry mate.

Whiteboi, thanks for your consideration of others but PLEASE, research before you try to help others. For one thing, he is on an MB865 AT&T phone and therefore MUST download the firmware for an AT&T phone. The international versions of the A2 are completely different, including radio, WiFi and the like. NEVER mix firmwares.
Also, he already flashed international firmware which is what got him into this predicament in the first place. He also installed the OTA update for ICS for which there is NO GOING BACK. Read the threads I gave him and educate yourself man.
I applaud you generosity, but if he wasn't already bricked, your advice would have surely/quite possibly bricked him. Be careful man.

Yeah man, if you OTA'd to ICS then I can almost guarantee it will fail at step 3 of the flash process which is the cdt.bin. If you are using the script it will also fail on the recovery portion and the cdrom portion. These are both because of the cdt.bin As of right now, we have no fix for this. Once again, this is the reason we are recommending people to ONLY use the first leak, and not OTA to ANYTHING unless it's 2.3.6 GB. Once again, reference the links I sent you.
You're bricked sir.
Until we find an ICS fxz. Which might be A LONG TIME.
Time to get a replacement/new phone.

Which brings me to my first query, I know its possible to upgrade my android version to the GB and JB with multiple methods but I'm extremely scared that I'm going to brick my phone. It was some forums on here that helped me decide to root my phone so now I'm hoping that you guys can help me take the next step. So whats the safest, easiest way to upgrade my os.. Odin didnt work and I no longer have a computer, so heimdall is out as well. Oh not sure if this is important but I'm not registered on any network nor have I unlocked my phone's sim. Well that's a start. I really hate froyo 2.2.1 so please if anyone can help I definitely could use it.

From Froyo 2.2.1, there is an official build GB 2.3.6 UCLB3 out for the Infuse.
You will need a computer though. Without a computer to restore your phone to stock from soft bricking, you should not be flashing anything. It may be possible for you to bring your phone to an AT&T store and have them update you if you don't have a PC. You will need a computer to root the GB UCLB3.
Where to start? Read the Q/A as much as you can. Then move into the Development section.

Will it be easier to flash the jellybean 4.1.1 from the froyo or the gb? Or would it be possible to just flash a higher kernel? I'm not syre if that would help me or not, I really want to speed up my infuse and stop it from rebooting so much.

Would it be best to use kies to update to GB? I'm a little concerned as to what would happen to my Infuse all around.. What will need backed up?
I have titanium backup but if the app gets wiped wont i lose all my back-ups? For some reason it wont sync to my dropbox app force closes every time I try. Sorry about all the questions I'm just short on the amount of time I am able to browse threads at the moment but I do have use of a computer for awhile so that kinda helps.
I personally prefer using odin or heimdall. Don't quite trust kies and it often gives issues.
all mayor changes will occur on system partitions. Your internal sd will remain untouched, and there you will titanium backups. Just reinstall TB app later and restore apps, not data.

It doesn't matter if your phone is unregistered and locked. You cannot use SuperOneClick on Gingerbread. What you should do is (this is the Heimdall version):
Flash this rooted version of stock GB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25526643&postcount=2
You do that and you already have root.
If you want to then graduate on to Jelly Bean you must:
Flash ICS (follow directions carefully!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24901014&postcount=1
Once you've done that, flash any of the JB ROMs you like, but make sure to read the directions carefully. I strongly recommend that you consult the Super Everything Thread for links to the ROMs and tweaks you need, particularly if you are interested in unlocking your phone.

I'm feeling kinda stupid..
Can somebody give me the right link for downloading Heimdall One-click w/root? For some reason I'm not able to get any to work on this computer.. I downloaded the ink provided labeled UCLB3 -DEBLOATED-ODEX - ROOTED - BUSYBOX- STOCK KERNEL on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25526643&postcount=2
but am unsure if that actually is the one containing Heimdall or just the rom i'm flashing or both.. I'm extremely sorry about my noobishness of just posting all these already answered questions. I've gone and confused myself and have like ten tabs with different threads open please don't hate me. I have a bad habit of asking questions..
Oh and what apps do i need on my phone in order to flash? And I mean absolutely need. I've also noticed that most threads say to format my mounted sd card But i really dont want to do that if i dont need to.
It should all be bundled together. Heimdall is a java based interface so it should just open up. Sorry, it's been a long time and I'm an Odin person!
You don't need any apps on your phone. When you flash, everything on the small partition will be wiped (apps, app data, etc). Flashing will not usually wipe your pictures, videos etc. but it's always a good idea to back up. For now, don't worry about formatting anything. When you get to ICS, you'll need to format as it says in the instructions. Otherwise, if it works, don't fix it!
When you flash ICS and JB, all you need to do is to put the zip files on to your internal SD card (not the one you can take out). You can then flash from CWM (which will already be on your phone - don't download Rom Manager).
Once again thank you all. I'm running GB and loving it. My fiance is shocked at how much help I needed though usually I'm the person everyone comes to with their tech issues LOL. But I absolutely did not want to mess my infuse up. I thought I did but the issue was such a noob mistake that I had to smack myself in the face at my stupidity. Forgot to unzip the cwm ect folder I downloaded. XD not sure I'm ready to try ICS or JB yet though.

The odd thing is you could have updated to GB through AT&T and used mini kies. But at least you are now rooted and able to go to ICS and JB.
Read the instructions on the next step before moving on.

Kinda wish I would have done it that way... I wanted to get some practice flashing roms tho. And now my phone is bootlooping, computer says the device is incompatible I can only get into the samsung recovery even tho the rom i flashed had cwm packaged in. I tried to change my boot animation following the steps provided in my boot animation thread then again with the steps in tsqers rom thread I apologise if thats mispelled. I tried updating from sd but get a sign error Can get into download mode but same issue with it being incompatible usb device. I tried holding down the power button for 1 minute and then rebooting no luck there. I tried wiping data/fact. reset,... nothing. I tried wipe cache partition,...still looping.
The loop samsung screen two seconds, black screen 1 1/2 seconds,... over and over and over...
My battery is full. Any advice???

Which ROM did you flash and which CWM recovery can you see (which version)?
I used the http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...43&postcount=2 thread to get the rooted rom UCLB3 -DEBLOATED-ODEX - ROOTED - BUSYBOX- STOCK KERNEL.
Saved I think.
So I finally Got it to connect to my comp and re-flashed the rom can i get a link to an ICS heimdall one click package to flash before restoring anything and this happening again?
You should be able to find it on the ISET page.

Start at the beginning. When you rooted your phone what ROM/build were you on? Stock? What Recovery are you running? Did you make a backup? In my experience, you usually get a system 7 error when the download is bad, (did you check the MD5?) or if you're trying to flash a ROM that doesn't match your current system (IE: trying to flash a JB ROM when you're currently on ICS.)
The more info we have, the better we can help you.

Uh status 7 is assert protection so its a mismatch usually in device info typically model numbers, and has nothing to do with bad downloads.

Thanks for helping
I had a stock rom on it and found a youtube video referencing the how to guide in this forum, walked everything through step by step but didn't do the twrp thing, only odin . Tried it, didn't work. Didn't checkthe MD5 as it wasnt referenced in the video (have since seen it in the thread).
I'm gonna try and flash a stock rom with odin if I can and start over and ignore the youtube video.
At the moment Odin is the only program on my computer that talks to my phone so I'm hoping that works, just gotta find how to do it...

Yeah, stay stock until you have a clue on what you're doing.

thanks, on it now. Just need to get it back to stock with Odin then I'll try again when I understand what I'm doing more.
Anyone feeling charitable and want to tell me how to flash the stock rom with Odin? I'd appreciate it.

Best of luck mate, reply here if you have any issues. And for pete's sake, next time, instead of watching a YouTube video, read read read and re-read the forums. Once that's done, read them again. Only then, start flashing.

That's an alternate form of DL mode. Odin a stock ROM from that screen. Read the Noobs Guide. Odin is finicky so pay attention to the guide. Then read it again. Once you've read and comprehend it all spin in a circle saying "I deserve this" three times and Odin will grant your wish. lol

Got it working, used TWRP to flash the latest RC CM 10.1
Got it all going now after a minor heart attack and a few more grey hairs. Just gotta figure out why the wifi isn't working at all now. Can't get it to turn on.
Your original 'system error 7' problem was most likely caused by trying to flash a newer ROM with an older version of CWM or TWRP. Glad you got the phone up, can't help you with the wifi problem, sorry. Although, what modem did you flash, if any? System Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version?

I flashed the UXUMA7 radio, didnt really do much, it worked before.
Still can't figure out the Wifi though :-/ just straight up won't turn on.
If you are on a newer CM 10.1 , the only supported radio is UCMC1, UXUMA7 is really old. That may be why wifi is not working.
UXUMA7 and UCMC1 are very similar. First one is the Rogers and second is att's release which is usually late by a month or so after rogers. Bottom line both will work.
Have your radiofile.zip, cm10.1.zip, and gapps from 20130301 all on your SD card.
Do you have a back up, nandroid? If not do it now.
Go to recovery and Clean up well:
Go to mounts and format data, system, cach twice or three times. Go to advanced and clean dalvik cache. Don't reboot
Now installing in this order:
- radio
-cm10.1
-gapps
Now reboot your phone.
Wait until it is finished and leave it untouched for 10 minutes to settle down and do its thing.
Then turn it off back on and enjoy.
Your noob status will start to fade if you do a clean install :thumbup:
