My Samsung Infuse 4G can't flash anything!?
So, I have an Infuse 4G and I wanted to update it to either Jellybean or Kitkat.
I found tons of ROM that I wanted to try but I gotta install CWM first and here's the problem:
LITERALLY NOTHING WORKS.
CUSTOM KERNELS DOESN'T WORK.
ROM PACKAGES WITH CWM DOESN'T WORK.
MODIFIED 3E RECOVERY DOESN'T WORK.
SGS KERNEL FLASHER DOESN'T WORK
:crying::crying::crying:
ACTUALLY, EVEN ROMS DOESN'T WORK.
WHETHER STOCK ROM OR STOCK MODIFIED.
Here's the funny part: LITERALLY NOTHING WORKS EXCEPT UCLB3 and UXG3.
(UCLB3 with PACKAGES DOESN'T WORK)
I tried other stock roms but no luck.
PLEASE HELP! BTW what I mean to say is... UCLB3 and UXKG3 are the only roms
THAT CAN PASS THROUGH THE SAMSUNG LOGO. :crying:

Hello,
What process did you follow for all these ROMs? Did you start with CM9 first (after installing CWM)?

I started from stock rom, fresh and clear.
I can't install CWM in any method so of course I can't install anything.

Did you try Gingerbread Stock (Option C) yet? That may be the only way to get CWM now. But, depending on your situation, you may need gto flash a newer bootloader as well, something I never thought to find in time for my mirror.

I only had the Rogers version which I rooted through Odin image. That method should have work for you as well (choose option C), but if you are coming from froyo, root is all you can do at this point it seems.

If coming from Froyo, then you will have the Froyo bootloader, which is no good with CWM. You end up with this.
Apparently even Odin'ing a GB stock image doesn't change the bootloader. Worse, a GB bootloader is no longer available for download (link long dead).
Sorry.

Not sure. But I think so. As said before, I only ever had the Rogers one, and it was released with Gingerbread. So I never had to fight that struggle.
But if you have problems, you can always ODIN back to (rooted) stock.

Hey everyone im kinda new to the forums.. Anyways i just downloaded GB 2.3.3 the other day. Well after that i realized my phone wasnt rooted anymore. So i updated simpleoneclick and it wouldnt work. Anyone had any success rooting their g2x after the update?
Another person with a broken search button. Need to get that fixed.
At the present time, there is no root for the GB update. There is a way to root GB but it required going back to 2.2.2 and then loading a custom GB rom.
Ya mine has been broken for awhile.. Ive been trying to fix it but no luck.. Anyways any idea if theyre working on a root for it, and if so how long do you think itll take?

There is a rooted OTA ROM in the development thread. Flash that with recovery and you will have root back and 2.3.3.

Apparently, you can flash with CMW Recovery without being rooted, and also make nandroids and restore them. You will not be able to use apps that require root like titanium backup.

I am a noob (first post) but I learned a lot by monitoring the forums the past few days. If you flash a rooted rom, then you can use use apps that require root access. At least that is how my G2x seems to be working.

Yes - flashing it has rooted your phone. I am somewhat surprised by this however. I would have thought rooting was done at a deeper level then anything in a ROM, but apparently that is not the case.
Good news is whatever the case, it works.
Recovery has nothing to do with the rooted status of your phone. Nvflash and cwm work no matter what.

Having an unlocked/unencrypted bootloader gives us G2X owners a LOT of flexibility with what can be done with our phones in terms of customization. Its one of the main reasons I couldn't wait for this phone to be released. Check out the first post in this thread over in the Atrix forum for a rundown of the differences between locked/unlocked/encrypted bootloaders:

im sorry for the noob questions but could you elaborate on the steps you took to do this? Im having no luck figuring out so far.
Or if anyone else could explain the process.
I downloaded cwm but it says my phone needs to be rooted just to use it. So im stuck because im with 2.3.3 which isnt rooted. I just wanna go back to 2.2 so i can have root agian or so i can download custom 2.3.3 roms which are rooted already.
thanks
is flashing the rooted rom would root my phone perma or it would be unroot after flashing anything over that rooted rom?
you need one click reovery to flash the cwm with nvflash

Hello, I am a long-time viewer of xda but a new member, this is my first post.
(and yes, i looked for a similar theard. i could not find one.)
So, onto the problem.
I flashed Infinitum 1.1.1 to my Infuse using cwm recovery. I noticed problems right off the bat when after i had installed the zip, i rebooted into recovery then it got stuck on the samsung logo and i had to pull the battery (a normal event when flashing this rom) So when i pulled the battery and booted into recovery to try again, the cwm recovery was terribly screwed up. The top half of the screen was pixelated, and the navigation menu was off center. I was still able to use cwm to flash the rom successfully, But cwm remains srewed up.
So i tried to reflash cwm recovery using rom manager. but when i rebooted i was stuck in a recovery boot-loop that i had to get out of using odin.
I then flashed the rom again using the same procedure suggested by its developer, and it worked, but cwm is still acting as it was before. (the pixelated top half of the screen and the off center navigation menu. )
So can i get some help? i thought about removing cwm the using some other recovery. I also heard that cwm wont work on ics, but im unsure what it is.
Thanks in advance.
You don't have Gingerbread bootloaders. That's why recovery looks the way it does.
You need to Odin or Heimdall back to Gingerbread stock (I find Heimdall much easier for this) and then flash Entropy's DD kernel to get back into red recovery to flash Infinitum.

Yeah, ICS recovery doesn't play nice with Froyo bootloaders.
AFAIK, there is no way to get Gingerbread bootloaders without reverting to stock. With Heimdall it's an incredibly simple, and quick process. I just had to do it myself a couple nights ago

Yup, it'll work just fine
Just follow all the instructions for Heimdall to a T (there aren't many) and everything will be fine
Yeah...heimdal is the best way to get bootloaders...odin doesnt always do it and no custom rom includes them that i am aware of...
I had written detailed instructions for another person...ill try and find them and paste it here...
Also-dont use rom manager, that thing is known to cause bricks/bootloops so using it is asking for bad ju-ju lol

Have you tried flashing boot loaders?
Here is how to do it...
1) Download uclb3 heimdal by qckster
2) open the program
3) put phone in download mode
4) click flash (leave program open when finished DO NOT CLOSE)
5) after it finishes and your phone reboots, put the phone back in download mode and reconnect to PC
6) click flash bootloader on the heimdal program you left running
7) flash, let reboot and your problems should be gone
Download mode instructions
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up + down
4) connect phone to PC with USB cable *don't let go of volume*
Just because you were on gingerbread previously does nit mean you have ginger bread boot loaders...I had ginger bread since the first leaks and did not have boot loaders until a month or two ago when I flashed them using those steps above...
Good luck!

Thank you for posting the guide. I literally just got done flashing GB bootloaders to my Infuse because of the rainbow Recovery when I'm on ICS. I used Odin though and used GB loader that a member posted in the AOKP Uniporn thread. I was scared but there really isn't anything to be afraid of. I tried using Heimdall but dang that was nerve racking because I was trying to use it on Mac and it wouldn't let me do the flash.

Good deal, glad you got it sorted out. And to clear up some confusion that is in this thread: you don't have to flash an entire Gingerbread rom to get the bootloaders. We all have our preferred ways of doing it, but you CAN flash just the bootloaders.
Here is both a Heimdall and an Odin way to get JUST the bootloaders. That's all that is necessary for someone who has rainbow distortion issues on an ICS or Gingerbread rom.:
See the third post (HERE) in Entropy512's Unofficial CM9 thread for instructions on how to flash just the bootloaders using the Heimdall command line. Or, see the answer to question 1.) in the FAQ of the rooted UCLB3 Odin thread which is HERE.

Heimdall is one way to get the bootloaders, and here's how I did it.:
heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin
The second part of your statement isn't true. Odin doesn't do it only when the user can't figure out how to use Odin.
thank you everyone.
Being a creature of habit i ended up flashing to rom and bootloaders using odin. that did indeed fix CWM right up.

Hello everyone,
It's my first time witnessing this issue, I do have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. So I decided to upgraded Eclairs to Gingerbread. Which I did.
Somehow I downloaded the CM7 ROM in the SGS 4G section, I have flashed it and now everytime I click "reboot system now", it's just putting me back to CWM Recovery over and over again. Now I got tired of it, so I tried flashing the SlimBean in hopes of making my device work the way they should, but it's the same result. When I cleared data, flashed the ROM and Gapps and when I click "reboot system now", It shows the boot screen but then it transferred me back to recovery. I don't really know what to do.
Urgent help needed. Thank you all.

Yes I can, also tried it with CM9, same results it shows recovery everytime. I need some help. :crying:
You say you went from Eclair (Did this phone even come with that? I thought it started with Froyo. Huh. At least, mine did.) to Gingerbread. Is the Gingerbread you started with CM7, or did you start with one that actually has normal GB bootloaders first? Because if you haven't yet, as with any major bootlooping issue, you'll want to use a proper GB one-click. If you failed to double-flash one of those to get the GB bootloaders earlier, do that ASAP. And hope hard that they come.
You are missing the boot loader if you went straight to Gingerbread. Use Heimdall One Click to flash to Gingerbread. Also click on the bootloader option as well when you flash.

Has anyone tried unzipping it and rezipping without the bootloader, etc and tried flashing it rather than using odin and replacing the bootloader everything?

The only catch is from what I have read that the Wifi will not work unless you odin the leak first. For some reason it seems that you have to have the new leaked bootloader. I have talked to a couple of the people that made a zip flash keeping the bootloader we are on, but no wifi. I stopped working on making a zip after I found that out. I have thought about using odin to flash the leak then flashing the Rom from the link above, but am not sure if I would be able to go back to the roms that I am running on the old bootloader. I am just going to wait until some people that knows what they are are doing picks the leak apart more. Anywho if you are interested goto that thread above and do some reading. I personally am just going to stay away until we know more about the new bootloader. I know that the leak can be rooted though because chainfire released an update specifically for the 4.4.2 leak.

I did try flashing with Odin a day ago, I'm assuming since the Download Mode has "No authorization" it's due to the locked bootloader we have. About 10% into the flash it fails with an authorization error... I'm going to look into that thread to see if I can learn more...trial and error is a great learning tool for me

Hi so far after using for the last two days I notice when holding the home button for open apps what ever you press will always open the last app used and not what you have selected!
Andy the native Samsung e mail app continuously tells me about e mails I've viewed
That is all so far!
what kernel are you using?

Well after hours of farting around with their build and mine, I pretty much lost interest with the ROM now. Their build definitely has WiFi broken. I'm not sure if it's kernel related or not.
I think I'm with you on waiting for this to improve before using. Besides CM11 with Google Experience Launcher is looking and feeling great this past month...
Here is a like to Echoe13_4.4.2Deodex_12JAN2013.zip it works but you need to loki patch it and wifi don't work.

hello my friends somebody have one solution for the problem of wifi in rom stock o custom deodex of echoe in 4.4.2... And please can explainme what is the loky patch...? tks for your help and sorry for my english..!
Loki only has to be flashed on the At&t variant of the S4 after installing a zip that was not an At&t rom. The WiFi issue I believe is from not updating the bootloader via OTA and possibly kernel tweaks as well but it will get there. We have great devs for this device.

You need a kernel made from the 4.4.2 source code which has not been released yet for the wifi.
For loki patch on att, download loki-doki, put it on your SD, go to recovery, flash rom,flash loki doki. If you are using a rom made for att chances are the kernel will already be patched.

what kernel were you guys using on the echoe roms? I couldn't get past the boot screen and it hung using the i337m Canadian variant which should be the same as their TMO version minus the leaked bootloader.
There is a new NA5 leak out. I am in the I337 and have tried the NA1 leak Roms Indies Omega and Echoe and I always hang up on the boot menu. Guess we will have to wait for the official and the Kernel info for it to work for us.

I didn't know there was a nlthread on this on my native device. I Have been posting on the Tmobile thread since the leak first came out.
I also unpacked both Leaks and repacked only their respective boot, system and cache files and successfully flashed via Odin. the cool part was that I didn't lose root and only needed to add the new supersu. I had a titanium backup zip which I also flashed.
the problems are as follows
1. No WiFi. attempting to flash KT kernel bricked it. had to start all over
2. Security settings caused a FC. so couldn't enable installation from unknown sources.
3. Restoring user apps using Titanium backup (after freezing all Knox apps) worked. but adding any system apps caused a bad series of forced closures
so unless u have got an unlimited data plan, this is just something to play around with for now it would seem
AFAIK I337M devices share the same hardware with I9505 ones; so can I flash I9505XXUFNA5 onto my I337m?

The bootloader would block odin from accepting the full package. The best u can do is pick n choose parts to flas like i did. And you'll end up with a similar scenario
But you could use this modified version and search for Magical unicorn kernel and see

@gangsta101: so what bits did you chose to flash? is AP and CP and exclude BL and CSC for instance?
