Hey im new to rooting, and flashing/installing ROMs. So what happened was i rooted my infuse, installed clockworkmod, and then flashed miui. kinda. it bricked my phone. Luckily i unbricked it with GTG ultimate unbrick thanks to this site. Now my sim card isnt being read, and vibrates non stop. id say 5-10 times a min with screen off it doesnt matter. It was working fine with clockworkmod and everything before i bricked it. What do i do? I even tried the paper behind the sim trick. and no it not on airplane more.my phone doesnt even tell me my baseband, network, phone number any more.

go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
and follow the instructions after downloading the correct zip file, i'd suggest the one with root and 3e modded recovery (so you can go back to flashing rom if you like), and it'll bring you back to stock plus root and with modded recovery, if you dont want to try flashing again then use the 100% stock download, and if you have any questions just let me know, i check this site nearly 24/7
Edit: i would also seggest that if the first time you attempt this it doesn't start up with the first use wizzard then go over and back up all you want to keep and set it to factorey default via settings and format the "usb storage" or internal sdcard, and then try it again
Hi all i own a Spice MI 410 phone, i tried to install CM9 custom ROM on it using clock work recovery mod but each time after successful updation my phone doesn't reboot! its stuck at boot screen. If i restore it it runs fine. I really want to install a custom rom please help. I cleared all data, dalvik, cache etc. I even tried it using rom manager where it automatically cleans cache but each time its stuck in boot loop! i am really at lost at what to do whole Saturday of mine was wasted doing this, please guide thanks.

Sorry to know, well if you find any solution then do share it here.
1) Are you sure the ROM you downloaded is for your phone?
2) Did you try downloading the ROM again? (You could have gotten a bad download.)
Sounds like a soft brick i had this happen several times. Start up in recovery, restore backed up rom, reboot, redownload the rom you are trying to flash, boot recovery, wipe your cache delv, and factory, than try again. If that doesnt work the rom you downloaded is bad. If you didnt make a recovery, take your SD out put it in your computer, download a rom go it that you know definitely works, put it back in your phone and than juat flash the working rom.
Fixing Permission while in recovery has done miraculous things for me and I did not see that you mentioned that. Also on some devices (HTC namely) if you are not running the right bootloader version some ROM's won't boot, EX running CyanogenMod ROM on hboot 1.58. Search your device forum and see if the answer lies there...and whatever it is that is causing this, once resolved please pot back so that others can learn from your experience.
Well the problem is my phone (Spice CSL MI 410) comes in different models in different countries and even different types like cdma/GSM etc. Its Spice CSL MI 410,Wellcom, Motorola Truimph, Huwaie Ideos X6 etc etc So i don't know if this Rom fits my model as here only Ideos x6 forum is present and i downloaded from there, still i will try to redownload it
Hi all , I had my sensation for a long time , and suddenly i decided to unlock bootloader s-off it and do a custom rom
at first i unlocked the bootloader via htc.com method
then I kept my device s-on and flashed 4ext
i flashed revolution rom and everything was fine until one day the apps like facebook and whatsapp didnt have an internet connection through wifi
only 3G connection , although i was connected to wifi but no response
i tried to reflash the rom but then the wifi didnt work at all , kept going on again off again
i thought i should make s-off
i used jupotntbar method ( wire trick ) and s-offed my device
i tried the rom again nothing happened , all was wrong
then all of a sudden my USB didnt read at all , anytime i plug it in it is on charge only mode and doesnt appear to connect to the pc , i tried different PCs but no luck
i tried changing radio and ril , i changed the recovery , until i installed CWM recovery ( using rom manager via 3G ) and the wifi was on again and sometimes it fails but it works .... still no USB
if anyone can help me i would donate and thank him a lot
i cant go to a service center becuz i have none in my country

What happened seems quite weird, but sometimes happen. Did you try another ROM? Sometimes problems start without any apparent reason. When it happens you can either wipe your phone and start your system anew, or you can flash another ROM (again with full wipe).
As a personal preference I prefer 4EXT recovery, but if you say clockworkmod works best for you, keep it. I don't have enough understanding to know the impact of the recovery on regular usage (I know it has impact on when the phone is off).
Try another ROM, that would be my first advice. Or maybe even RUU (Since you got S-Off now, I suggest you get yourself SuperCID. There is a guide in the general forum).
Here is a list of ROMs that worked flawlessly for me (or at least without any apparent bugs):
albinoman's CM10.1 (no HTC sense, awesome ROM if you can live with AOSP)
ViperS 1.6.3 (works great)
ViperS 3.1.2 (apparently works fine, but since this ROM is fully ported (awesome work of SebastianFM) there might be the occasional glitch)
AndroidRevolutionHD - I used a (much) older version and had some issues with wifi (fixed with a newer version), but a good ROM.
And most other ROMs work fine as well, just didn't get to try them myself.
If nothing helps, after you get SuperCID, yuo can try using an RUU to restore your phone to stock. It will also flash the firmware and radio partitions, which might also fix stuff. After you get SuperCID you can use any RUU you'd like.
Good luck.

Hmmm.... That complicates things. It's allways a possiblity that this is a hardware problem, but let's try something else. If changing ROM doesn't work, maybe flashing firmware will help. Get a PG58IMG.zip file of either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware from this thread, and flash with the instructions of the thread.
Very Important! Check the md5sum of the firmware you download, as it can permanently brick your phone if it's not flashed correctly.
Good luck. If that doesn't work, I doubt if anyhing will. If you do manage to get USB connection, I suggest RUUing anyway, to get a clean install for your device.

Then I'm afraid I'm out of suggestions. Just to be sure. Did you try another cable? What did the computer recognize (in device manager, it should show something for the device as a USB device)?
This might lead us to a new direction.

On what ROM you're currently on? Did you perform S-Off method after returning to Stock? For S-Off the prerequisite is Rooted stock ROM.
I faced this issue when I was on MIUI ROM and my PC didn't detected my device. I suggest you should flash the ViperS JB after a Superwipe. It have MTP support and it let the PC and Phone access SD card at the same time. I am sure it will detect your device after flashing ViperS JB. Also try uninstalling the HTC drivers from your PC and install the latest HTC drivers. I am not on PC otherwise I would have shared the link for latest drivers. Also try connecting your phone with original HTC Cable and USB port 2.0.

I got my one SV k2_cl from boost a little over a month ago and got the bootloader unlocked and rooted, working fine until one morning it wouldn'tmake calls or texts. I tried to factory reset and when I tried to boot got stuck at the HTC logo. Took me 2 weeks to get it to even flash a Rom on here that will somewhat work. I've got WiFi and partial 3g 4g connectivity but no voice at all. When I try to use the phones its activation tool-error, tried manually programming phone- nothing. I'm stumped. Can someone please help me out here. Don't want to have to buy another phone if I can help it. The only guess I've got at the moment is that if I could get a stock original rom to flash I'd be good to go probably and just hold out on doing anything else to it until after the kitkat ota is launched. The few stock roms I've tried either wouldn't download for some reason or just won't flash right. Thanks in advance for any help guys. I've always been more of a hardware geek more so than software but I can usually muddle through following guides of course.
I'm not much into boost, but did you try to flash the available RUU?
help...
As a matter of fact I have tried that and unfortunetly the installer locked up on a reboot of the phone because the phone wants to do the "Android is upgrading # of #" on every boot. That was why I was thinking since adb/fastboot and the HTC One Toolkit all sorta work that if I could get ahold of a working stock rom to flash on there and I have a stock CWM backup still on my laptop from when I first got the phone rooted and everything working. But of course thanks for the tip anyway. I wish that would work. It seems to be the easiest way to install back to stock.
Hi to everyone,
I have this unusual rom in my phone, as I have read through the internet, the XXU1 stands for a HongKong region.
The problem is, that there's nothing about such ROM on the internet, as if it never existed...
The phone was bought as new through online shop..
It has been unlocked through idoneapps. I use it in Europe. GSM and MOBILE data worked fine until I forced to update it through ODIN to G900PVPS3CPK1.
I was able to get the GSM to work, but the WCDMA network isn't available.. and the messages are split into pieces when I send them. As I've read, that is how they're sent in US.
I had tried many if not all of the roms, modems, kernels etc.. available in this SPRINT galaxy s5 thread..
but none gave me back the mobile network 4G.
So I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about such ROM (my original one) or where I could look for it? Maybe you have an idea what to do?
I searched for you. Here is the result.
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy S5 (Snapdragon)/5998/ITV/G900FXXU1BOD3/G900FITV1BOD2/
This page explains it all.
I think you remembered a character wrong, it is an F, not a P. if it is really a P, and you are sure your device model is SM-G900P, then you must buy a new phone with a wrong ROM. I don't think that happens a lot. G900P never has a G900PXXU1BOD3 ROM. I think you flashed a WRONG ROM in the first place. DO NOT flash the ROM in this post until you confirm that your phone's Model Number(you can check this yourself in Settings, About device) is SM-G900F.
Thanks for your response. The sad thing is that the phone is G900P. I have attached the screenshot below. I have made a full TWRP recovery of the rom before doing any flashing. I am able to restore it all except the modem, as TWRP doesn't restore modems.
If I put a newer ROM bootloader and modem and restore the backup - I get a bootloop. If i put an older one I get no signal and the lower buttons arent working. Though I found BOG1 modem to work with my current firmware, but it's not fluent. The phone feels laggy and GPS isn't working...
So I am looking for a complete rom that could work in this phone without any recovery..
Can you find ok4?? Runs awesome for me, use Odin to flash it, you'll lose twrp but then Odin twrp

Sorry for the late reply, you didn't quote me, so I did not get the notification that you have replied.
It's very weird that your bought G900P with a G900F ROM. G900P doesn't support WCDMA network, I don't know if it's blocked by software. But the link in my last post indicates that your reseller flashed G900PXXU1BOD3 for you in order to make WCDMA work. I don't know if you can simply flash official G900PXXU1BOD3, because the system with your phone may be modified in the first place. If you simply want to restore original backup with modem, drop back to TWRP 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-0, 3.0.2-1 wouldn't mount external SD card so you have to move your backup to internal storage, I didn't test 3.0.2-0 but I assume it's the least buggy recovery for G900P so far.

My mistake,
I believe I had tried to restore backup with those versions of TWRP. They don't restore the modem part and give me an eror (can't remember exactly how it sounds), but as far as I have read, TWRP does not restore modem. It is impossible. So I can only flash it by ODIN, but there is no such G900PXXU1BOD3 modem on the internet..
I wonder, what if I would simply flash the G900FXXU1BOD3 or never rom with F symbol, could it work out for me? Maybe you have read about someone doing that? So far its my only hope...

I don't know if someone deliberately flash a stock G900F ROM to G900P, it would have most likely bricked the device. But I have noticed a slight difference between the 2 pictures you posted, first 1 says baseband version is G900PXXU1BOD3, idoneapps says it's G900PVPU3BOG1, I don't know which one is more accurate. I couldn't find a seperated modem file of G900FXXU1BOD3, yet there is a way to extract it yourself, simply change filename extension md5 to tar and open it with compression software. After flash modem, restore your backup.
Edit 1: Maybe you need to flash CSC also when you flash modem. But no rush, just try modem only first.

Hello,
Curiously I have the same problem, I bought the mobile by Ebay to a Hong Kong user and it comes rooted and with problems I do not know how to solve, from the beginning the camera did not focus until suddenly by magic, it focused.
Now I want to do a ROM restoration but I am not able to find that version since from what I see in the answers you have offered here seems to be "trick", have you found any solution? I would appreciate it if you told me so please.
Thank you.
A greeting.
