[Q] ICS Recovery Menu not working ,,, - Samsung Infuse 4G

I installed ICM on my Infuse but the Recovery Menu is not working.
All that is displayed is ...
GALAXY S
cyanogen (mod)
... and nothing else happens.
I had to remove the battery to get the phone to work again.
I tried to enter Recovery by selecting Reboot Recovery from the power button menu and also tried
holding down both Volume Up/Down and the Power buttons but they only
resulted in the GALAXY S screen.
Any advice?
Thanks
Carl

Not even using ROM MANAGER will get me to the Recovery Menu.
ROM MANAGER reports that my CWM is v2.5.1
Is there a security setting that prevents one from going to the Recovery Menu??
Did the key press sequence change from pressing both VOLUME UP/DOWN and then POWER?
Baffled.
Carl

that happens because you have to flash twice the ics rom, before opening new threads you should read the instructions.

I thought I had flashed the ICS rom twice.
I followed these instructions:
Coming from Gingerbread (double flash):
1) download rom
2) reboot to recovery
3) wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache
4) flash rom
5) reboot
6) will get stuck at samsung logo or something
7) simutaniously hold power button, volume down, volume up until your phone reboots and you see the samsung logo - as soon as you see the samsung logo let go of buttons (but not your phone lol)
8) mount system
9) re-flash rom with no wipes
10) reboot and enjoy
Was a little confused about "8) mount system" -- should it have been mounted or unmounted?
Anyway to get CWM installed now?

This is how you should do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndC39t1AE-k&feature=youtube_gdata_player if you are having problems do a fresh flash

I thought I followed the video and instrutions just like shown.
Anyway, to reflash I don't have a Recovery Menu. So, do I set the phone
to Download Mode and use Odin?
If so, in Odin do I use the PDA button to select the ICS Rom?
Thanks

I think you should go back to gingerbread using odin and then flash the ics rom this way you will have a clean installation.

Took your advice and started all over.
Was able to get "BeanStalk" Jelly Bean OS installed on my Samsung Infuse.
I went back to installing Gingerbread using PIT, PDA, and PHONE files using ODIN3.
Then installed Gingerbread with CWM using ODIN3.
Followed Video carefully and got ICS installed with a working CWM recovery menu.
Found the "BeanStalk" version of JellyBean and got it installed.
Had some trouble with the Launchers (Holo, Nova, and Trebuchet). They continually
crashed with "Unfortunately, xxx Launcher has stopped".
Every action caused this Launcher to crash.
Somehow I got it to go away.
Thanks much for you assistance.
Been a real learning experience delving into this technology and its arcane terminology.
Still, a rewarding effort.
Thanks again,
Carl

Unless you flashed CWM recovery before you powered on and held the volume down, all you did was factory restore your phone.

please follow this one:
http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/
after clearing all the data, you NEED to "install zip from sd card" and then select the zip of CM7. Clockwork doesn't to it by itself
I believe u didn't install clockwork mod correctly. If you pressed. Power with volume down on stock recovery, it resets everything.
Make sure you nvflash correctly to get clockwork. Good luck

Remove battery... Reinsert it.. Then hold vol down + power together.. You'll go to bootloader.. Then using volume up/down go to recovery and use power button to select it
Once you entered recovery.. Do full wipe ( factory reset + cache + dalvik wipe)
Then flash cm10 and gaaps again

Wiped system, cant get to recovery

Hey all, i wiped my system in TWRP recovery and when i hold power, home, and vol down, i get to the TWRP splash screen but then i reboot. Any suggestions?
bump please help
So it will not boot into TWRP fully? How many times have you tried cuz if you rebooted accidentally after wiping system (I've done this), it takes a few tries.
Alternatively, you could Odin flash TWRP (file is in Open1your1eyes0 root thread) and try booting into TWRP then. This increments your flash counter.

No problem. You're saying its booting to the TWRP logo or booting to the Samsung logo? Just wanted to clarify.
Also, hold: power, home, and volume then once it boots release the power button. That seems to be the only way I can cold boot into recovery.

Yeah i hold home, power, and vol down, then it goes Samsung screen > Samsung Galaxy SIII screen > blue TWRP splash screen > reboot to system and freezes. And another thing, if i odin flash this TWRP, will it wipe internal storage by any chance? Its happened one too many times to me

Hmm, weird. What were you doing before which led to this?
Nope, it doesn't wipe internal storage. Just overwrites your recovery partition. When Odin reboots your phone, pull the battery then try booting straight to TWRP. If you still can't boot into recovery try the same steps but flash CWM, flash a rom, and then reinstall TWRP via GooManager.

Just flashed it and it still wouldn't fully boot TWRP. I'm about to try CWM now. What happened was i came from LiquidSmooth AOSP and I was ready to flash Hyperdrive Touchwiz so I wiped all the partitions and flashed the zip. The Aroma Installer froze before it started so i battery pulled and figured I'd retry. It wouldn't boot and now I'm where I am now.

To do so, go to recover mode (POWER OFF+VOLUME UP+POWER BUTTON). Now, from here you can do the same.

Hey u asked on how to wipe data and cache etc. Not for flashing part. and i know that stock rom is flashed through odin on pc.
To get the right answer ask the right question!!!

heheh! ok ok! ill explain more! in recovery, i will do factory reset! ok. then here is no option to turn off the device. it only has reboot option. after rebooting, the apps load itself, and a new cache, data is made. My problem still exists! :crying:
Download rom manager free from the play store and flash custom recovery from there and now try to boot in recovery mode. You should have cwm recovery. Now from here do the things u wanna do and then it should work. If u flash cwm recovery from rom manager, it will still raise ur flash counter so to reset it root and download triangle away. I have a tutorial for it. See my threads.

Firstly if u have cm recovery installed.. Go to recovery, wipe data, cache n delvk cache, format Sd card n format system as well.. Then reboot the device.. If tab fails to boot, relax, go to download mode by pressing volume down key + power key, then volume up key to go into download mode n simply flash stock rom through odin.... Secondly.. Jus flash stock rom through odin.. If tab stuck at boot animation.. Go to recovery on the spot by pressing volume up key + power key.. N simply wipe data/factory reset.. Dats it..

No reason to wipe before flashing stock via Odin because it resets EVERYTHING in the process.
