Rooted... Bricked... Unbricked... App store now doesn't download... Help?

So, I had a rooted Infuse. I bought it rooted.
I finally start getting the balls to flash a rom, and like most people the first time... Soft bricked.
Spent from 8pm-11pm last night unbricking and now its back to stock.
I found the settings for the APN online so I can now get on the interwebz (browser) on the phone.
However, the app store will not download anything. Very frustrating. I have searched and searched with no solution to my problem.
Thanks

You must factory restore your phone, this will erase your memory so take what you want off

As in factory reset in the settings?

A thought
I suppose you have already attempted to clear your market data by going into settings\applications\market and delete all data associated with the market? (If so factory reset may be the ticket as suggested above)

Full factory reset will do the trick. For me when flashing the Infuse either back to stock or a ROM if I haven't done a format this is the type of weird random stuff that happens.

Pick up a JIG if you are worried about it, it will get you back into download mode if you manage to completely mess things up.

infuse 4g stuck at samsung logo screen
i have an infuse 4g from at&t my phone is rooted and i had installed the INFUSED ROM everything was working fine on the phone but when i plugged it in to my computer it would recognize it, everytime i plugged it in, my computer would say the usb device was not recognized, i tried to unistall and resintall the drivers, tried 3 different computers, different data cables and i would still get the same error, it just would recognize my phone. My phone would charge, it just wouldnt connect to my computer at all. So i decided to do a master reset from the menu of the phone, everything seemed to work fine untill it restarted, it wouldnt load pass the samsung logo screen, and now i cant get it to load on recovery mode or download mode. I dont know what to do, ive searched everywhere and no one seems to have the same problem i do... ive tried to install stock with odin but it doesnt even recognize my phone because i cant go into download mode im stuck with the same problem, now when i plug my phone into my computer, even tho it wont load pass the samsung screen everytime i plugg it into the usb port i still get the same error, it can not be recognized.... hope someone can help me. thank you in advance!

[Q] Mounting SD card causes crash

Starting from the begining, I have a Samsung Charge which has contuniously decided to go into a boot loop every few days and the only way i know how to get it out is to do a factory reinstall, according to Verizon. So I do that everytime, but this last time it erased everything off my SD card, and now it wont recoginze my SD card, I have reformatatted it multiple times with no success. The only thing that seems to work is if i pull it while the phone is on and then i can mount it, but once I do mount it all my process begin to die and my phone within a matter of mins will return to the boot loop. What did i do? What can i do? I'm lost...

That's why I always remove any external memory because I don't trust it.

You do a factory reinstall every few days and it boot loops continuously?
Sounds like a hardware issue. Go to a corporate store and get a warranty replacement.

problem with flashing

hey, i wipe data/factory reset, delete cache, and deleted dalvic cache, and installed the dark knight ics rom. and went to recovery again, but then it took me to a recovery which looked like i cracked my phone from the top. eventually, i installed emancipation rom and went back to normal red recovery. i wiped data/factory reset, deleted the cache, and flashed zip from sd card. but now it stays in samsung booting screen and it does not move from there. i can go back to recovery and try the same thing with a different rom and it wont do any different. is there anything that could fix this problem?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24901128&postcount=3
should answer the distorted recovery question.
As for being stuck at Samsung screen. Probably heimdall or odin back to stock. Then flash the bootloaders you'll need for any of the ics roms and all should be well to try reflashing an ics rom

yes, but i can also go to red recovery, and wipe data/factory reset, delete cache, and install zip from sd card and reboot but it stays in samsung screen. what should i do?

my mom also has an infuse, i plug her infuse to my computer and it recognizes the device so the drivers are installed for the computer but it doesn't work for my phone. i have no idea why.

Okay. I can't provide the link at the moment because I'm on my phone, but check the "super everything" thread on the development section.
Look at the return to stock posts. It should say for you to go on download mode. I had this issue before, so I just put it on download mode and went back to stock.
Hopefully that works.

[Q] Droid 3 stuck in bootloop

I realize there are multiple threads like this but throughout all of them I have not found any that relate to my issue or a combination of them. If I have missed one I apologize in advance and please direct me to that thread then. I was running steel droid what I thought was 5.5 ICS but it looks like it is 5.1 according to the forums. I was previously running steel droid 4.5 GB. I was switching back to 4.5 because I could not get wifi hotspotting to work. I forgot to wipe my cache and went to install 4.5 and I am stuck in bootloop. X+Power gives me the android error screen, M+Power allows me into the main menu but I cannot use AP fastboot, SBF motorola will not pick up my phone and the screen will show a connection to the USB cable. I've never had a problem before but also have never forgotten to wipe the cache so any thoughts would help.

I would but I get android error screen with exclamation mark each time regardless of how I access recovery X+Power or vol +,- and Power then going to recovery, I wouldn't have thought that not wiping the cache would have been the cause but it was the one step I didn't do that I normally always do so I was just adding it in for information but thanks for the know how that it wasn't the cause. Any other thoughts since I cant even get into my backup ROM or recovery, I have another SD card not sure if my SD card has become fried for some reason, I will be trying that to see if maybe that is all it is.

Yep but phone isn't picking up my data cable and how ever many issues that have come about here, I think I am SOL but gonna try an SD card hoping that it is just a bad SD card or something like that. May end up having to use part of that great tax return also, thanks for the help, I'm going samsung next, that whole fore sight wasn't there two years ago.

In it's current state, is it in any way possible to tell that it is rooted? Is the boy animation stock or a different one? Motorola might repair it for you if you can't tell that it's been rooted

Unfortunately you can easily tell that it is not stock ROM by bootloop

Well your computer should recognize your droid that's a common problem with Odin and Samsung one of these steps always work so try then and seen if we can't get your droid recognized NUMBER 4 WILL WORK 99% OF THE TIME BUT TRY THE OTHER METHODS FIRST 1. Use the stock cable or try a difrent port 2. If its possible on your program take out the battery and SD card as leaving them in course problems 3. Run the program as aminstrative 4. Plug the phone in and have it in download mode or whatever you call it WHILE THE COMPUTER IS BOOTING Up This will force the computer to recognize it not the best method but it always works

My Nexus 5 has gone crazy, I need help!

It just started happening randomly. I didn't flash anything. I can't access a mobile network, I can't add an APN, I can't wipe the phone because it it just hangs up when it's supposed to clear the cache, I can't access the external storage, and my computer can't recognize it either. I have no Idea what happened, but now my phone doesn't work. I can still do things if I'm on WiFi, but when I try to open camera, or open gallery, or do anythig that involves the external storage, my phone tells me "No external storage available."
I'm really confused and frustrated, if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it!

Sounds like the software is glitchy. I'd flash the factory image and see if that fixes your problems. If it doesn't then probably rma it.

Can you get into the bootloader? I'd try this method if you can http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064
But if the computer didn't recognize it you maybe in trouble. I'd go ahead and try it, it may work even if it looks like the computer doesn't recognize your phone. Can't hurt

Sounds like the cache was corrupted/damaged/erased.
I fixed this issue by flashing the cache.img from the stock files.
Follow the directions in this thread but ONLY flash the cache.img. Make sure your drivers are installed properly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701

Try it on a different computer if possible. I had that issue with my laptop where it wouldn't recognize my phone. The drivers have to be installed a specific way. Update your recovery to the newest TWRP that came out two days ago. I'm about to update to it to see if it fixes the issue where it takes like 5+ minutes to wipe the phone in recovery. Hopefully just flashing the cache partition will fix it if not flash stock google image.
