Need some help. Step dad's Infuze is boot looing at the samsung logo. Searched and found qkster's thread about using heimdall 1 click to flash UCLB3. Got the phone into dl mode, loaded drivers and started flashing. Stopped at kernel upload failed. Ending session. Don't know what to do, can I just unplug and start over? Thanks in advance for any help.
Rebooted into dl mode, now it is showing firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again. Please help, is this still fixable?
I can get the phone recognized by Heimdall, just that it stops when loading the kernel. Is there another way to load kernel when in the dl mode?

Try running again and again if necessary until flashes and boots into ROM then Use one of the kernels in the same thread of qkster's that includes root and CWM recovery
Keep trying different ports, different USB cables, reboot computer,use different computer if available

either odin or heimdall works. you have to believe that. the frustration is getting a pc with usb port and a usb cord and your phone to align and work correctly. usually after a few driver install or java update or reboot..something works.
your other situation where you kinda had it recognized and almost completed a flash, try different usb cords. hold it steady, wipe the ports..etc..connection is prolly loose

Yeah frustrating it really is. Will fire up the old xp boxen and see if I get better results with that.
While reading up yesterday, I saw some posts about corrupted efs causing the att screen bootloop. Is there anything else?
I don't think it is a power button problem as the phone doesn't turn on when I insert the battery.
Finally, you think it is safe to use a custom rom if the stock one is bootlooping on the at screen?
Thanks again, will go back to reading and trying stuff after dropping off my son to daycare.

ok.. i was on s7/hellraiser with infusion kernel. since running this rom, my pc no longer recognized my phone. i tried flashing a rom thru cm7 but got stuck on the samsung logo. after, i tried flashing back to s7 & infused, as they are both on my sd card, thru red CWM, but im still getting stuck at the samsung logo. my pc wont recognize the phone to odin back to stock so.... wat can i do??? plz and thnx
Did you try using Heimdall? Some have better luck with that. A factory data reset might fix your problem, because you seem to be flashing a lot of roms over each other. The bootloop might be fixed by a reset, if not try again with Heimdall. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you
Edit: Try using a different USB Port on the computer or even a different PC all together. Also try using another cord.

sounds like a driver issue. install ubuntu and use heimdall. that'll fix any driver problems
try pulling the batter and inserting it with odin open, the usb cable inserted, and holding down the volume bar. after that doesn't work delete and reinstall the drivers. or go with linux and never have a driver issue with the phone again ( may have driver issues with video and wifi and attached devices though)

in heimdall once you load all the files (no pit because you don't have bootloaders) click flash or start or whatever. if the phones isn't connected it will let you know.
there is also heimdall oneclick return to stock. set the. jar file as executable and launch in terminal. the thread on oneclick should explain the comand needed and how to install heimdall backend from inside heimdall oneclick (if you don't have it already.)
did you install the android SDK
Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy phone is stuck on the Samsung boot up logo. I shut off the phone and it starts up again to the Samsung logo again. I am rooted but still had the stock rom and kernel.
I went to selections and wiped my cache and tried to format it like a new phone. The same thing still happens. I am not sure what else to do. Anyone know how to fix this?
Keep the instructions simple please, if you do know. (I'm a desperate noob)
Thanks for any help.
IF you ever did nandroid than just restore that otherwise.........
Hey first follow this steps to flash any rom. If you flash the rom properly than you can use any stock rom from dev section and use that.
OR
follow this step to go back to stock and it will unroot you.

Same Problem
My problem is that my Rogers SGSII LTE I727R, is stuck on the logo screen, which is flashing the boot screen. When I connect the USB (even after install of Kies and Odin), my PC does not see the device. I am really not sure what to do. I think I set the wrong phone ID when I installed recovery (I think I was supposed to use the T-Mobil SGSII setting), but I selected something else. I then tried to backup the existing ROM, and am now in this unending loop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Follow these steps it will help you go back to stock. ANd reroot your phone.

Try another USB port or another computer. If you can get the logo you are in a boot loop, the most common form of a soft brick. If you can get into download mode you should be able to fix it.

Another thought is to try turning off firewall and antivirus when using Odin. I've never had my firewall or antivirus block Odin but I've heard it can happen...
Can you get into download mode? Hold the two volume buttons down, then plug the usb cable into your phone, then you should be in download mode.
I cannot get into download mode. I just keep getting the flashing boot screen, with the corresponding vibration.

What he said. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume up/down and plug in USB. Continue holding volume buttons until you see download mode. Careful not to press the power button during this process.

I like how u guys are really trying to help him. Let u guys know that on my first responce I gave him all the steps on how to go back to stock. So if he followed that and nothing happened than he should try USB jig if that don't work than its hard brick!!

Don't panic. If you're in a boot loop it's fixable. It's when you get nothing that you need to worry about a hard brick.
Try the button combo mentioned above to get into download mode. If that doesn't work, pull the battery again and try using just the volume down button button--I've heard people say this worked for them when they had a hard time.
If this doesn't get you into download mode, I guarantee you that a jig will work. You can buy one online or make one yourself for about 75 cents and a cut-up data cable (I had a car charger that I didn't need--car charges the phone through USB port, so I cut that one up). Always good to have a jig, at any rate...

Alright so I messed up my phone again, and I tried to Heimdall One-Click and it says "Uploading KERNEL KERNEL upload failed! Ending session..."
What exactly do I need to do from here?
All help is appreciated, thanks.
Do you have a JIG? I bought mine from ebay for a buck and it works.
Also even that download mode doesn't show up, as long as ODIN can see the COM port you can start flashing.
Another solution, would be using Heimdall one-click recovery with unbrickable mode, if you dare to open your phone and you are good at soldering.
Yeah dont do anything suggested above that involves taking your phone apart.
That is a alternate download mode. Click on the purple link in my signature, read the guide linked and then flash the one click I have. It will get you back to stock with root so you can flash any of the other roms for this device.
Can you be a bit more specific I really don't know where to start...

I'm guessing you haven't flashed back to stock before, use this guide to go back to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2
Then you can go over to bhundven's One-Click Heimdall and flash AntonX's kernel, you can flash a custom ROM from there. Make sure to follow instructions, if you don't then there is a chance you're phone will be forever bricked.
Ok, i got it to work. But my phone is not being recognized as in download mode. It still says ""Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". And yes I did pull the battery out and back in, then held down power up and down and plugged it into the usb. Any ideas? :\

Most of the time that is because of bad connection to the computer. Try a different cable. Heimdall is very finicky, you might try gremlin remover.

Try uninstalling the SAMSUNG/Android drivers, and restart the entire process. And this time try a different USB port, one that's barely used. Cause the port you might have plugged it in might be worn out.

Issue solved. I had to sort of jam the wire into the phone while it flashed.
I'm not very great with the correct terms, but I'll try to spell out my issue as best as I can. I have cm9 installed on my skyrocket, I tried to flash another rom and had issues with it. I then tried to flash back, but cwm seemed to be stuck formatting /cache. The friend helping told me to reboot and try again so did and then I started having boot screen issues. I can get my phone to download mode or cwm, but I can't seem to get odin to install the stock or for the cwm to finish (still stuck on formatting /cache.. goin on 2 hours). What did I do wrong and how can I fix this?
DETAILED help would be appreciated, but I'll take what I can get at this point. I'll re-explain anything that doesn't make sense.
I really just want to get back to stock.
What happens in ODIN -- does it also get stuck at formatting cache?
Have you tried any of the Heimdall one-click to restore to stock?
Let us know if that also gets stuck on formatting cache.

ODIN wouldn't always register my device and when it did it would either fail, complete in the description box after checking the md5, or fail due to the device de-registering.
At this point my my device is showing the "firmware upgrade encountered" screen with the yellow triangle. I didn't know about the Heimdall. I followed the directions on Kies to restore it that way, but it's not picking up my device even though my computer is.
Am I f*cked?
Yellow triangle sounds like download mode to me. See if any of the heimdall one click restores will see the phone n try to flash.

In its current condition all it does is boot directly to that screen. It also won't stay powered off unless I pull the battery. Think I could take it to at&t? Just an educated guess, but that being the only image I'm getting means that there isn't really anything on my phone right now? I'm thinking maybe I could say that my dog tripped my usb cable while I was updating in kies?
