Help NEEDED - semi bricked phone- yes I searched lots 5 hours trying to fix

FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
Hello Everyone,
Problem: Infuse will boot up and you see the ATT screen then 2 seconds later it sits on the SAMSUNG screen.
I have tried just about everything posted. I even tried the Infuse unbrick Odin pkg.
I CAN get into download mode. I can flash with ODIN. But upon reboot the phone goes back to the SAMSUNG screen.
How did I get here?
I had was running ZEUS. I had the issue with ppl not hearing me unless I turned speakerphone on and off for every call. I did a master reset. I had an issue with something else so I tried using a CWM flashable file which caused the problems needing the master reset.
I have tried many things but I am stuck.
I am trying to get an ODIN kernel that is moded like the V8 community kernel BUT all the links are broken.

Seems obvious to a rookie like me, but shouldn't you just use GTG's ultimate unbrick back to D5 stock and go from there?

I said I needed ODIN files...if I am stuck ont he SAMSUNG screen it means NO CWM for me. The links in the original community kernel thread are broken and several ppl have contacted the OP including me asking to fix the links.

Yeah.. I dunno about that...

Guys, I already posted that I tried that NO GO
I need the files from here BUT the links are broken
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
I think I can get it working again with a kernel that will convert to ext4.
I can not get into the phone to delete or change the voodoo lagfix.
It seems that the boot partition is not working right.
I can flash with ODIN the unbrick file and it will install but upon reboot still stuck at samsung screen. I can NOT get into recovery either.
WTF? Did I make a brick?
Someone has to know how to fix this

Dude.. if you can't figure this out with those links that I posted, then I don't think that I can help you.. I can somehow manage to odin myself and bring myself back to a rom with those files and the respective rom. And I know that there are other people that can too... good luck bro.. I'm done..
Edit: May I suggest this?
Edit 2: Actually, if you need the 3e recovery file. I just remembered that you need that too. Haven't seen a mirror posted for that. Maybe that is the element that you are missing? If it is lemme know..

It is really quite on xda today

Flash any GB kernel that's rooted, but uncheck reboot.
Then try to boot to recovery.

I am well aware of using this stuff. I flashed many phones and tablets hence why I like Samsung.
Yes, can you provide me the 3e Recovery ODIN file.
That would be a good thing to try.

I can only use ODIN files because I can ONLY get into download mode. I can NOT get into recovery to use any CWM files.
I have been trying to find ODIN kernel files but the ones available the download links are broken and I pm'd the OP as well as others that need the files but still no luck yet.
Can someone please post an ODIN kernel for me to try.
Edit:
Just to be clear I have now flashed the Unbrick ROM several times. It will load up and install. I get a green pass in ODIN but on reboot I see the ATT screen then stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have started to flash odin kernels from my captivate and tablet. They do get past the ATT screen and no Samsung screen but all I see is grainy stuff all over SO that tells me that changes are being made. I just need to try with an INFUSE ODIN kernel that might convert to ext4. I think that will solve the problem.

btw- thanks for the help...I am just ticked trying to get my phone to work.
I just need one damn file or small command to wipe the phone so it will take the stuff we are trying to push.

FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.

I went through the same thing about a month ago on mine... I eventually found the same file you did... it was a pain and since then if I've bricked I've flashed ultimate unbrick then flashed stock Rogers and it resolves my issue... I keep both saved on my computer now

Simple Fix...
Use. GTG's ultimate unbrick.
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?i57410xodydx5l1
Follow the easy steps.
This will bring to how you bought the phone.
SECOND to all with BLACK screens.
Turn off the phone using power and volume up and down.
While plugging in the phone to the USB. Release power button.
This may take multiple tried, but you will get the download screen eventually.
Its all about timing.
YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BE BRICKED.
The down loader is not on the internal memory,
it is on a FLASH ROM separate from everything else.
Thanks to "secretasianman"

People need to remember that not everyone is using AT&T Infuse, gotta clarify that before posting guides.
And yeah keep the stock rogers rooted rom on your desktop, comes in handy for a quick return to stock if anything goes wrong.

Galaxy S Stuckon Logo Screen after Clockwork Mod Recovery Install

I just rooted my phone using the Super One Click app. That worked fine. However, my phone wont boot anymore and just halts at the "Galaxy S 4G exclusively for TMobile" screen. Here is what I did:
1. Installed ROM Manager
2. Flashed Clockwork Recovery Mod (selected Nexus S 4G as install)
3. Tried to backup my current stock install (named it "TMobile Stock")
4. The Phone rebooted and now it is stuck on the splash screen.
Did I brick my phone? Is there a way to recovery out of this?
Any advice would be much appreicated.
My phone is the SGH-T959V.
Any help would be much appreciated. Not sure what to do. Thanks in advance.

Dont make threads in the dev section Q&A thread is for that

Well your first mistake was using Rom manager. Our phone is not supported. That's why its not listed. Its recoverable, and yes you are bricked. Softbricked. Follow one of the one click guides, and btw this is the wrong section for questions. I'm happy to help, but questions, even technical unbrick questions go to Q & A or general.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

now thats better you can use heimdall one click to revive your soft bricked phone

As stated above, ROM manager is not supported on the SGS4G. The only way to get CWM recovery in this phone is to flash a custom kernel from the Dev section. First, however, you're going to need to find the Heimdall one click back to stock in the dev.section and follow the directions carefully to fix the phone.
And I suggest reading a whole lot more on this forum before doing any more customization of your phone. There is a lot of info here that will make sure you get everything done safely.

[Q] stuck on firm error screen

i tried to root my samsung galaxy s blaze last night with odin....im stuck on a screen that says firmware upgrade encountered an issue..please select recovery mode in kies..its not that easy...i went through the process of rooting beforehand and it was totally stuck on the screen where it has the little bar that fills up...right after the flying andriod screen...lol...im so lost...can anyone help me out...thanks yo..

Hmm.. if it says that on Odin you're probably on force download mode. So I'd suggest you flash a stock firmware from Sammobile.com. (you'll just flash the PDA file which is in the tar) then you should try rooting again. I'd suggest you follow Erikmms' guide on the dev thread.
(P.S I know you pm'd me sorry for the delay. If you've anymore questions pleases feel free to pm me.

When installing firmare,rooted kernel and cwm.....dont do it in one visit to odin. Also make sure you dont have autoreboot checked or repartition when flashing the rooted kernel or cwm. :good:

Just for my own curiosities sake, why not auto-reboot?

I'd recommend auto reboot. Then you don't have to go through the hassle of manual reboot from Odin.

[Q] Help!

I was trying to put a kernel onto my Samsung Galaxy S 4g via Odin, and it got stuck on zImage for an hour, so I pulled the battery out. Now my phone is stuck on a screen with a phone with a dotted line connecting to a caution sign followed by a computer. I've looked at multiple forums on different websites on how to enter download mode through this screen, and nothing is working! If somebody can please help me you would be a life saver right now. Is there a way to fix this?

That is download mode. Its an alternate download mode that appears after a failed flash.

Thanks for explaining, but is there a way that you know that I can bypass this?

Heimdall one click and then flash your favorite ROM and kernel via CWM.
P.S You need download mode for both Odin and Heimdall.
sent from me

Or just reflash whatever you wanted to flash in the first place. I get this after every major flash and it just means that the kernel is having a major change. No big deal, just give it another flash and it should work the second time around... don't One-click unless you actually want stock.

Hi Theraze
One click actually cleans gremlins and is a good thing to do in between flashing ROM over ROM over ROM every now and then. The good thing about eollie''s version is that it's one flash that brings you to a position you can flash GB/ICS/JB right on top (CWM5) and it takes less than 5 minutes.

You can't bypass it you have to fix it. Reconnect with Odin and try the flash again. Sometimes it's that simple.

[Q] Can't seem to get the backup working with CWM

Hi, i'm a noob fresh out of youtube and I have successfully rooted my phone and gotten CWM and the Recovery Image flashed but the problem comes into play when I try to make a backup of my stock rom and my phone reboots into the recovery mode and it gives me the options to
1. reboot
2. reinstall
3. delete user data
4. wipe caches
and it says # Manual Mode #
Appling CSC...Installing CSC but it doesn't do anything and i've let it sit there for a minute nothing even pops up. Help please? I'm kinda at a loss here. lol

You don't have a custom recovery, look at one of the many rooting guides here on how to get clockwork recovery

Hey so I tried to get the custom recovery...am I supposed to delete the old "recovery" file and place the modded one there or am I just supposed to leave it alone? I have the update.zip file in the root of my sdcard but still I tried to boot it into the cwm recovery mode and still no dice.

Replace it, for some more detail see post 36 in this thread

Follow the full instruction from the post I linked you, soft bricked this phone more times than I can count, the method I laid out there never failed me with both Linux and windows and takes me under 10 min from start yo finish
