JL... you will learn a lot reading through each of the SR subforums... we all have. When you're done reading and ready to post a question... two suggestions for you:
1. Be clear and specific in your question.
2. Provide enough information so others can assist... for example, what steps did you take... what EXACTLY did you do or flash... file name... are you stock or do have custom rom/kernel/modem/recovery... etc.
BTW, "Update.zip" are installation packages primarily used in older 2e recovery partitions... if you have CWM, you can flash non-samsung zip packages by selecting "install zip from sdcard"... not the "install update.zip" option.

Thanx..read all night and just flashed sky kernal 009.mzip..finally a boot image other than [email protected] to set CPU slide in rom toolbox..not sure..set it at performance for now..any suggestive values?.I'm still reading.....good morning!

[Q] Infuse 4g: Messed up beyond Fixing?

My Infuse is rooted, i recently reverted back to froyo to make my phone stock but still rooted. Phone was working fine but later that day i decided to
try and flash some mods (BIG MISTAKE). During reboot, phone started vibrating and would only vibrate with dark screen. I tried going into ODIN and flashing the stock Infuse file and seeing if it will fix it but no luck. I tried to go into recovery and ended up formatting the system file and now im stuck at Samsung screen. Need serious help

I would also like to add that after flashing stock over custom you WILL get stuck in a boot loop. All that is needed is to wipe cache and dalvik then reboot. Were you able to navigate recovery at all, or were there flashing lights and nothing else?

I don't doubt that you did, bro. If you're still having trouble booting into your stock ROM, try booting in to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvic cache. Works every time

Here to help man. My blaze and I have been there done that. With the while multi color boot from hell that is. Man I've soft bricked about every kinda phone there is. The feeling of satisfaction after fixing your expensive holder downer of papers is amazing huh? Glad you got it fixed man. Really though I actually strongly recommend that PAC ROM. It's boss ninja style. Now that you have clockwork mod flashing is as smooth as pie. Make sure to nandroid (back up) first that way if anything goes wrong you're covered. But anyway enjoy the taste of victory brother.

Yes, though having a Nexus device, it'd be good for you to learn fastboot/adb. Comes in handy.

1. Cf root
2. Goomanager for twrp
Twrp will stick right? I saw some people needing to flash like 6 times before twrp sticks.

As aznk3vi17 says, go the adb fastboot way. You'll be better off in the long run than using a bunch of easy tools. Sooner or later you're going to get yourself into trouble where they'll come in handy.

No you won't. The download page doesn't work.

I'll probably do it later then.

IIRC it's been like that for a week or more. Just do the ADB flash. Or use Flashify. That's just as easy as Goo.
Download the Flashify app, download the TWRP recovery img file to your phone and install with flashify from your phone.

Correct. As long as you have the img file and not zip.
You'll just go in to your downloads and tap it, install with flashify and you're done. Restart the device in fastboot mode and scroll to recovery to make sure it took.

Just don't use goo manager to flash roms. It's way too easy to find a rom that is not for your device and flash it. I'll use goo to put on the recovery and then remove it from my phone

It's possible but not likely. If anything it just won't over write the stock recovery.

Updates from SD card?
Phone is an Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon (A564C) though.

Like official updates, or if anyone ever figures it out you could get root by flashing a zip using the stock recovery. But that would have to be specifically made to work with the stock recovery.

Idk what he's linking. Pretty sure it's a supersu.zip or something...
Will what he's suggesting have a high chance of bricking my device?

It might but I don't understand why it's flagged or why he's making mirror links to what is the easiest to find rooting file on the Internet. Will it brick? Probably not, it most likely won't even flash successfully.

Renamed zip to update.zip but it wouldn't show up in stock recovery...is it supposed to be in a specific location? Tried with it in internal memory as well as onsd card...

While in recovery ended up on a screen with android laying down on back with a triangle with exclamation point...what exactly does that mean?
