I was working a phone for a friend, Rooted it with the Framaroot, gained root and shell root access, installed the modified 3e recovery, flashed the CWM version for infuse 2x, made a nandroid, rebooted into system, ran fine, downloaded ICS and Gapps for ICS, rebooted back into recovery, flashed the files, everything went through, said it was finished, no problem, right? WRONG! Rebooted system via recovery and now it will not go back into the system, wont go into recovery and will sometimes try loading a CWM background...help.
Use Odin to flash stock image and try again. When you flag cm9, don't do anything else and reboot immediately, you will get stick at the Galaxy S boot screen. Then remove the battery, boot back to CWM, flash cm9 again, only now you may flash or do anything else, but before that it's better to boot into system first.

Wow, finicky little device, isnt it, lol. Okay. I'll look up the How-to on using ODIN. This is my first Samsung phone that I have rooted, so definitely a learning process. Same thing with my HTC's, each one is different, only they are all the same, lol. THANKS!

Ok I have a massive problem here. Last night I decided to use the 1 click universal root app to root my phone and flash it to get CM.
I downloaded the app did the root, downloaded clockworkmod then did a clockworkmod recovery. After that finished i was given a pre-root option to backup my phone and wipe data/storage.
I only chose back up my phone. My nexus one then rebooted and proceeded to backup my phone then it went to install CM 6 RC2.. After this had finished it then rebooted and went to the multicoloured animation where the colours ceom from the left and right..
Here it would continuously loop and never do anythign else. With this I pulled the battery and loaded into recovery where I was in ClockworkMod. I then proceeded to use the recovery and as it was doing the recovery it just froze and the progress bar nor any words would come up.
From here I pulled the battery again did a soft/hard reset but it would hang on the loading animation again. I then did a wipe data/clean option and now it just hangs on the X logo.
On my sdcard I still have the clockworkmod folder with the backup, nandroid, system and all the other files as well. Vodafone Australia have no stock of the Nexus One at all and won't be getting anymore in since it's a finished product
I barely have any cash for a new phone and need to know asap what to do to fix this problem! If anyone can help!
When you installed Cyanogen CM6 did you install the proper baseband also or you just didn't write it down for us? If you had 2.2 on the phone before you rooted the baseband is ok for CM6.
Did you try hooking your phone with USB and try if ADB interface works? If your computer sees the phone via fastboot?
IF fastboot works, you could always restore your stock recovery and install a stock FRF91. (And then try again with CM6, this time installing the proper baseband AND WIPING like you should when installing CM6!!)
When installing custom ROMs always read the install instructions whole first then install.

Lets see if I can go through this whole skimmy with you guys:
I was on MIUI, going to go into recovery to flash another modem because the one it has doesn't work well for me, I see that I have no recovery, for somereason it vanished even after doing the recover fix. I go through the process of fix thats on the MIUI thread, sgs kernal flasher etc, so once I flash that to get red CWM, the phone just stops booting up at all, then after a while I finally managed to get it to boot into red CWM, then I did the process to get it to blue recovery, I've tried flashing my backup rooms, a new install of MIUI, with full wipes, then when I go to reboot I go back into blue CWM.
Since I've not had this phone very long, I have no idea what the hell its doing, i would have assumed I'd flash the rom again and it would boot up like normal.
So am I soft bricked or what?

Seems like you may be soft bricked so no biggie.
Even thou, try to reinstall the MIUI zip if you still have it on the Internal Sd card, you dont loose a thing for trying, and as it seems maybe you have to go back to stock by Odin/heimdall and thats it.
Anyways i would recommend to wipe data/cache and reinstall MIUI before using Odin/heimdall back to stock.
Yeah, I tried to flash the zip again and then it gave me an error about boot files, so I decide to do the odin unbrick. Its going through its processes right now.

Hello, I'm new to the forums and I feel bad I'm already screwing things up :/
Anyway on to the problem... I've had CM9 running on my phone for about two weeks now but I wanted to get rid of the rainbows in CWM and at boot. Today I downloaded Rom Manager from the market place, and when I ran it, it prompted me to install CWM recovery to my SD card, although I already had it installed I thought I'd give it a try. Bad idea, now I can't leave recovery mode, my phone will continually reboot into recovery, I've tried wiping all data and clean installing CM9 again and still nothing. I've even tried the exitrecovery.zip script to no avail
Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix it and boot into my ROM again?
Thanks!!
I would venture to say you might have to reflash...or start over from stock...
i would reload stock....then reload ics or the rom of your choice...
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm, I used Odin and flashed factory stock 2.2.1, now I'm off to getting ICS back.
Thanks again!
Does anyone know why this happens? I've noticed that anytime I open CWM and choose the boot to recovery option is when I get stuck with CWM Recovery looping. I then have to go back to stock and start over again.
I'm not entirely sure why it happens, my guess was that it puts up a bad flag not compatible with ICS that keeps it from booting that, that was why I tired the exitrecovery script, I looked through it and it appeared to me to change a flag for booting. I'm not sure why it happens but I'd say just use the reboot to recovery option that the ROM provides in the shutdown menu, I know that always works.
So I flashed Paranoid-Android Jellybean and it just screwed up my phone. I had to use Odin to bring it back to stock. Now I've got it almost back to where I want it but I can't for the life of me get CWM recovery onto my phone. Its got super user on it and I can go into the CWM app and tell it to flash CWM and it says it was successful but upon booting into recovery I'm getting the Android 3e recovery with signature verification. I've tried to replace the recovery file with the modified one but if I reboot my phone it just hangs at the Samsung screen. I tried to install SGS kernel flasher as well but its failing to download/install it. Hopefully someone can point out what I'm doing wrong because I don't remember ever having this much trouble.
You can use this to get your recovery back -thanks and credit to qkster and Entropy512

Questions, let me know and I'll try to help.
Alright, downloaded and used that program. It went through and flashed perfectly fine and was easy to use; only issue is my recovery didn't work any better. I was able to boot into recovery but when I did it was just a scrambled mess of colors. I then used Odin to flash back and now I'm back at the Android 3e recovery again. I've tried to replace the recovery file and boot into recovery but it just hangs at the Samsung logo and if I replace the update.zip it won't flash because its not signed correctly. I've also tried to flash via Rom Manager and it says it went through and was successful and has my "latest version" set as the version I just flashed.
I'm lost as to what I'm doing wrong.
Ok- it may be a process but I am willing to help you figure this out. Once you learn, as long as you are going to be flashing roms, it will come in handy in the future. Couple of questions:
Have you used Heimdall before?
Did you also flash the kernel (Entropy's Daily Driver) in post 2?
Ok didn't even notice there was a way of installing the kernel that way. Did it and now I have a working recovery!!! Thank you so much. I've bricked my phone before but odin fixed it no problem. I'll keep this in mind next time. Saved me a lot of time.
Glad to hear this - nice work.
First off I didn't think I was a noob but I guess I have to eat crow. I have a GS5 running SM-G900P with OG1. I rooted with CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5 which I did using Odin 3.10 and all went well. Then I set up Odin and flashed philz_touch_6.26.1-klte.tar.md5 and everything went well and the phone worked great. I booted into recovery did my back up like we were all taught to do and when I rebooted I get stuck at the yellow Spark Screen. I have wiped everything that I can think of in Philz and I did get back in once but nothing was running and or crashed. I rebooted but then got stuck at the same place.
I have tried redoing the system with G900PVPU3BOG1_G900PSPT3BOG1_G900PVPU3BOG1_HOME.tar.md5 which I found on another thread but no joy here. I rooted it again and installed philz but everything was the same stuck at the yellow screen. I have installed my backup and no luck there either. I have tried and tried but got nothing. I was going to install MOAR and was going to give that a try but not sure if that would make things worse or what. Any suggestions would sure be great. Thanks in advanced
I think nobody likes answering posts like this because my phone did the same thing I posted it and I got no response. I finally got my phone back to normal though I lost all my info though but my phone works again. I used twrp 2.8.7.0 and did an advanced wipe of the cache, data, dalvik cache, and then rebooted and it worked again although it had to go throuh the whole activation and setup process again.

1. Did you try restoring your backup?
2. If you Odin the stock tar, just try to boot it
3. If I were you, I would odin the stock tar, boot, shut down, odin a recovery, and then use odin for supersu tar or recovery for a supersu zip. I could be wrong, but I thought I read that some people had issues with autoroot on the new OTA OG1.
4. MOAR is fairly stable and pretty stock and since you flashed a recovery...might as well.
I recommend using TWRP by ktoonsez. Never ever have I had an issue.
Also, when recovering from any issues, flash stock tar as you have, let it reboot to recovery and you'll see a little android guy doing stuff, it will reboot afterwards. After it powers off and the android guy is gone, hold home and volume up to boot into stock recovery and use the stock recovery to wipe the data.
