So I'm a noob to all this rooting biz, but had done tons of jailbreaks so thought this would be similar. It's not!
I rooted my phone (Samsung Infuse) and was going to flash MIUI on it. It wouldn't work, so I gave up and went to the 'Download Roms' or whatever section in Clockworkmod and thought all of those would work for my phone.. So I tried downloaded Darky rom, and once it downloaded and flashed, the phone is now stuck on
'Galaxy S'
GT-19000
Samsung
When I take the battery out and go to do a reboot or hard reset, it shows the reg samsung logo for a second then glitches to that galaxy s **** and it doesn't work. I can't even get it into recovery mode!
I have a Mac and I don't know what to do. Please help me asap. I just got this phone 3 days ago. And if I can't fix this myself, will my insurance/30-day return still be valid or will this **** up my warrantee?
use this.

I believe so. It's what everybody uses when they mess something up. I'm in windows. But a lot of here use mac too. Just try it out. Follow the directions closely, and you'll get you phone back to stock.

Well i'm borrowing my aunts pc real quick to try this.. Have you ever heard of it workin for this particular case?
Also, I don't have the 3 button method on my phone. So how am I supposed to put the phone in download mode?
Yeah your particular case happens tons of times. And like I said, follow the directions exact and you will get your phone back to use.

Ok, we'll see.. But if it doesn't work, would I be able to get a new one if I have ensurance? I've also had it less then 30 days

It WILL work if you do it right. And no because rooting your device or flashing roms voids your warranty.

Well then I sure hope this works..
It worked! But should it have downloaded these extra tools and added a launcher?

I believe that after it has done its thing, the phone should have rebooted into recovery mode and showing an option to delete all user data or factory reset. If not, try manually going into recovery mode:
1. Turn off phone.
2. Hold down both up and down volume keys and the power key.
3. Let go of the POWER key when you see the samsung logo pop up. (keep holding the volume keys until it boots into recovery)
4. Now go down to where it says delete all user data or maybe it says factory reset. Something along those lines. Let it do its thing and then
5. Reboot system.
After doing so, you will lose root and all of data. Re-root, add the custom recovery. And READ READ READ. The only roms you can flash from recovery mode is gtg's roms. So check out all roms in the development section here. Read the differences and flash away
I'm currently on miui and I'm loving it because it's very customizable. But battery life sucks on it.

Its because darkys rom is for i9000 and that is i9000 boot screen your looking at...do not try to flash anything for infuse off of rom manager...use infuse development thread.....you should be able to hold vol u vol down(at the same time) and power for about ten seconds and that will put you back into recovery....then if you are in green cwm go to mounts and storage...mount usb drive....and you can download a rom from our thread and put it on your sd card without having to reboot....wipe everything and flash rom that you downloaded...if you have red cwm...go to apply update zip..choose it...and flash it...now u have green recovery...hope that helped..

Wiped IMEI?

Sounds like the bootloader is still locked. I think IMEI would cause data issues.

EZ-unlock is an app. You run it while the device is booted.
Does the device boot up or it stops at that screen saying not supported.
If you can't boot, then you will want to ODIN back to stock. To get into Odin mode, pull your battery and put back in and then I believe it is volume up and power button, You will need to get the stock Rom to run in Odin. You can probably find this in the dev section.
If you can boot into the Rom, then you should not have to Odin.
Ok, I got into oden and will go from there. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate you're snappy response and help. You guys are awesome.

Try to flash your phone back to stock with ODIN thats what I did and worked fine.

Yeah, I went on the tutorial and I'm even having issues there. When I'm in Odin the stock rom is not being recognized. Even in the alternate method, the bootloader file is not recognized either. I can only get one of the bootloader files to be recognized and when I run it, it fails! Ugh!

In order to access Odin, you need to press the power button, volume DOWN, and the home button. Try it again.

You're supposed to follow the guide that the fellow above linked to. Section 6 of that guide is very simple to follow. It's on the first page, in the first post. Once you press volume down, home and power buttons you press volume up to go into download mode and use Odin (on your computer) to flash the stock rom.

the thing is I am not sure what the stock rom is and its not doing anything. there are a few different files to download..

The files you need from that guide are:
1) Odin
2) Samsung Driver
3) VRALF2 4.0.4, all saved to your computer.
Just follow the directions afterward. That's essentially all you need and the guide is the best way to return you to stock.

Lol looks like you're running a newer firmware than what's officially available from Verizon. You've installed the JB leaked stock firmware whereas ICS is what it's supposed to have. The VRALF2 4.0.4 file I told you to download is what's officially stock.
Did you use Odin to install this? If so, just use the VRALF2 file and you're fine.

Once you download it, it should already end with ".tar" or ".tar.md5" You do not unzip the file. The next step is to launch Odin and follow those same steps from the guide.

I believe that's because of the: "(1)" just before the ".tar.md5" If you remove (1) from the file name then I'm sure it will verify the md5 in that same box and allow you to go on.
I'm downloading it now to verify the name.

Thanks for fast replies.. I already did it with the panda ball guide Im not sure if that is his exact name.
problem is that I cannot call phone says I have sim not inserted. My internal memory is 0.00 b so I cannot install ROM manager to get out of this
. After this flashing through PC do I still have my root and CWM ? If yes is there button combination to get in recovery? Btw there is notication going on every 20 seconds saying not enough space try again please help
I don't know who panda is or his guide but I can recommend you to follow drastic00s guide and you'll have V8 with custom recovery and root.
Be sure to flah xbsall v28b rooted and on top of it v8, like the guide says, so don't jump over some steps.
Do it step by step from the beginning.
Edit:And don't use rom manager, you don't need that.If I remember correctly It can brick your phone so don't use it.Anyway there is no need for it in the first place...
Edit2:When you flash V8 you can enter recovery like this:
1. When you power on or restart the phone, while the soft keys are blinking pres VOL-
or
2. Via P940 recovery app from your app drawer while the phone is booted(that app is installed with V8)

Can I do it even when my phone has the stock firmware?
Yes.
LG Flashtool is used to flash new .kdz firmware over any other firmware.
It doesn't matter on what android version you're now.
That means in the future you'll use the same guide to flash official v30b for P920 when it comes out.

Pretty easy. First put the 4.1.2 Odin tar on your internal or external sd card as well as the stock kernel which is also a tar file. You can get these from Samsung's site or from the stickies here on xda. Remember the ones on Samsung site will wipe internal. But you can grab no wipe version here on xda
Now just go grab the app. When you open it it will ask you to download an add on. Say yes. Now it will tell you that you must have an unlocked bootloader. Say Ok since we know you have one. Put rom in system and kernel in kernel slot. If you wanna keep root and you are not flashing a rooted stock rom turn on ever root. Flash away!
