I can't post in that thread because of dumb forum rules..
But the rom installed fine only issue is now I can't connect to the verizon network. I've tried removing and putting my sim to no avail.
I had the same problem...Now the phone is sitting on my dresser and I had to get another phone due to me being on V. I think I hit a button on the misc screen under viper tweaks and it seemed my phone is stuck on GSM.

Hi all, so i have a particularly peculiar situation that happened to me the other day...I tried to root my rogers htc dream and i ended up failing but everything still booted and seemed to be the same..A few weeks later my friend was playing with my locked phone and activated a bug where the phone permanently locks and asks you for your google login information but doesn't accept it..Then when i rebooted my phone into recovery menu it was different then i remember (that is it was running cyanogen mod 1.2 JF)..i tried ot restore my phone but no go...then i tried to install a new mod (the new cyanogen mod) but it failed and now my phone is not booting past the rogers splash screen. I try accessing the recovery menu or the fastboot menu and both do not work/respond. What should i do? I need to get my phone working...the data on it is not important..i just want to get it rooted running android 1.6 donut...Thanks a lot everyone
Anyone? i can't access the recovery menu or the flashboot menu...what should i do?
Try posting in the Dream subforum where the people who specialize in that device hang out. The general forum probably won't yield much help.
So I have had my S3 rooted for a long while. But the past few weeks it's been running a bit slower. This week it started randomly turning off. I thought it was my battery at first. But then when I tried to turn it back on it got stuck at the Galaxy s3 screen and would not get into the OS.
I tried to get into recovery, it froze on the splash screen. I made sure both were actually frozen by leaving it sitting there for 30 min to an hour.
Tried to flash using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
It kept just sitting at writing NAND.
Now my phone says "Firmare Upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Kies will not connect my device. It sees it but will not complete the connection. I tried using the model and IMEI number to upgrade firmware but it still would not connect to do that.
More searching lead me to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166&page=11
But I can't get into OS or recovery so I don't think this would work.
Any suggestions on what I can do from here? I only really need the phone to work for a few more months. My old Droid incredible just doesn't cut it at this point.
Sorry to bump, but nobody has anything for this? I haven't really found any other options.
Your bootloader is fine so that thread won't help you. What was the last version of touch wiz that was on your phone before you ran into problems?
Hi there everyone, recently signed up on here as xda seems to be the holy grail when it comes to all thing smartphone.
I'm fairly new to these type of phones and recently was given an infuse 4g that was suffering a power button problem.
The power button problem has been resolved with a new one and the phone was working fine for 3 / 4 weeks.
One day the phone shut down by itself and entered the boot loop syndrome. Factory clearing it hasnt seemed to do anything to resolve the problem as it continued to reboot continuosly.
I came across the thread about gtg ultimate unbrick guide in the developers forum and this seemed like a good way to go, get the phone all the way back to stock and then work from there.
Kies installed and all drivers installed fine. downloaded the gtg unbrick pack and followed the instructions line for line. Odin reports everything passed, took about 2:59 to complete.
phone rebooted and continued to do boot loop so went into recovery as stated and wiped data and cache and rebooted again.
phone is still stuck in some sort of boot loop, but it gets to display the 1st of the setup android phone screens, then just as you get a chance to select next to go onto the next screen, the phone reboots.
Any one have any idea what could be going wrong or as im fairly new to this, is there anything im doing or not doing right that is causing this.
The phone is an at&t infuse.
regards
Trevor
sound like an issue with stuck power button. it's a know issue with this model. google "infuse 4g boot loop" there's few youtube videos you can try.

I've already replaced the power button with a new one, but the technician i use did say he will remove the power button completely to see if it does the same, just to rule that out

just redone the gtg flash and it boots into the os (ver2.2.1) and then within about 5 seconds turns off and reboots
can the new on off switch be faulty......im not so sure as in recovery mode, i can leave it on that screen forever and it doesnt attempt to reboot
Tried the one click repair with hemdial or what its called, updating thisnpost via a moto defy mini so excuse any typos.. The hemdiaOl just seemed to meas it up further. So got baxk into downliad mode with odin and reflashed to gtg brick recovery. Not fixed, still booting but at least the screen is now viewable.
To recover one of these phones, is there like a definitive guide as to what to do to first prepare one of these phones for recovery, ie, first, flash to this with cwm and then clear data, cache, dalcik etc. like an idiots fuide, i feel i may need one

I'll start from the beginning, II was rooted and I wanted to speed up my phone so I tried to use SWAP. I never got it to work for some reason but then out of no where I was on the home screen and then my phone rebooted but wouldn't start again, it got stuck at the T-Mobile 4g LTE splash screen. I was still able to go into recovery and all that. So I decided to format my phone. The. That screwed it up even more because then it got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy light start up screen. So then I used Odin and flashed a stock rom. But that still didn't help it got stuck at the T-Mobile splash screen again. I went into recovery and it said era error. I managed to fix that and that went a way. Then after an hour of searching I was able to boot up my phone because some forum said all I needed to do was spam the volume up and down buttons at startup to get it to work. After that I set up my phone but then I was getting any 4G and I couldn't make any calls but it said I had 5bars. I kept getting a message saying not registered on network. Nothing would make it work. I called T-Mobile and I went into setting tried fixing my apn, tried connecting to T-Mobile again but nothing. They just called me back today and after I gave them my i di number they said it's not working because I rooted my phone. It doesn't have a bad i eu or anything it's just not working. I did see that my imei on my account is different than the imei my actual phone displays. I am able to do wifi calling and that works. So obviously something got jacked up when I formatted my phone. I want to know if anyone can help. I didn't back up my efs because I didn't know I had to, the only thing I've rooted before was my tablet. I have a Samsung Galaxy light SGH-T399 . Can anyone help. Ik my thread was long but I wanted to kae sure I got every little detail.

Good news is, that we have a forum for your device on xda: Samsung Galaxy Light Discussion.
Bad news is that it seems that your IMEI (and maybe your EFS data) is corrupt/lost now.
Here is a guide how to recover your IMEI: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
Hopefully it works on your phone too.
Good luck !
Thread closed. Thanks you!
Hi I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy J7, I'm running the only stock rom and kernel available from that forum so I decided to post here since there isn't much support there.When i have my sim inserted My phone will always shut off when the screen is off but not when im using it. the only way to get it back on is to do a battery pull or in my case, I load up the Odin screen and select restart to save time. I've tried getting a new sim but the problem is still there..oddly enugh theres no problem when the sim is inserted while then phone is in airplane mode. Can anybody give me a clue about what to do? I've tried installing different firmawares from sammobile via Odin but to no avail
