Ok i got problem that hopefully some one can help...

my friend brought me a samsung i997 he tried to reflash everything flash successfully good! the phone keeps rebooting...

What can be the problem?...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah this has some weirdness if you reflash with out a total factory format. dont really know why but it does act funny sometimes. if you don't have anyrhing important then go into settings > privacy and do a factory reset. if you have a bunch of stuff on it backup contacts with Google or att or a vcard and root the phone and backup apps with titanium then move the entire contents of the sd card to your computer before doing a factory reset from settings. it wipe everything including the sd card.

you are the infuse god

i dont know if this unbrick is a good thing because now i prolly will try anything with this phone. thank u once again infuse almighty
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doctahjeph:
I am having this exact same issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: Ultimate Unbrick

Try this, re-download the ultimate unbrick just incase you had a corrupted

download then before you run Odin put the phone in download mode.

After its in download mode unplug usb cable.

Now run Odin and set it up with the PIT/PDA/PHONE then plug the USB cable

back in and click on START after the COM:XX lights up yellow.

Good Luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doctahjeph:
My phone wont turn on now, it will get into download mode, but that is it. However when I plug the USB cable in I get an error saying the device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. EEK....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Install drivers from Samsung.com
[Samsung Infuse 4G] doctahjeph:
Thanks. I was able to get squared away. I just moved to my desktop and installed kies there. After that my desktop saw my phone and I was able to return to stock.

Glad you ended up getting it worked out
[Samsung Infuse 4G] norocelpopa:
Hi gtg465x;

I managed to brick my phone. Initially I was on Rogers stock. Here is what I did:

1. I installed your ROM 2.2.1 with the CWM-infused-v2.0.1 kernel

2. I tried to overclock but it seemed like the kernel didn't allow overclocking so I installed the Infusion 1.8 kernel (big mistake) and that bricked my phone

3. Then I ran your un-brick procedure, but that replaced my ROGERS splash screen with ATT - that makes it impossible for me to return the phone to Rogers

4. Then I tried to replace Kernel with the stock Rogers Kernel but all the phone does is going into a boot loop with ATT and SAMSUNG splash screen over and over.

My question to you is if you have the PDA and PHONE and .pit files for the ROGERS ROM so I can load them with ODIN.

Unfortunatelly I cannot access my ROM on the sdcard because I cannot "see" the folder I have it in when I'm going into the recovery download mode on the phone. It just shows the first 27 folders and I cannot get to the next ones.

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] norocelpopa:
In the end i managed to unbrick this phone by using the Rogers stock rooted rom from another xda thread.

I screwed up my phone, after reflashing kernel from Infusion OC to Infused 2.0.1 (I used the backup file, not the original file from GTG's, and when phone comes to first boot, the only thing I see is the Samsung logo, and thats all... should I use this to back my phone to life?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Only if you did not make a Nandroid backup before you did this. If you did, hold both volume buttons and power button until you get the samsung screen again, then let go. You will go into clockworkmod then restore from your previous backup.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wvmedic:
Bricked....

Ok...was messing around and tried to install the Stock_root-Mod3e-UCKD5_Odin so that I could use CWM, and my phone froze. Being dumb that I am, I unplugged it and now the phone does nothing on boot. I am able to get to download mode, but whenever I try to flash this, it hangs at factoryfs.rfs seemingly infinitely. I have tried the original flash that I was trying as well, and none seem to get past factoryfs.rfs. If they do move at all, it is very minimal and I have waited several hours and tried different USB ports and computers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wvmedic:
After 49 minutes of sitting at the factoryfs.rfs it was finally complete...phone works again. Now, to try to do what I was doing last night...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
That's crazy long time ,8 min longest I've ever seen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wvmedic:
Well, I just tried to do the modified recovery to add CWM again, same result. Phone is bricked..again. I will see how long the GTG Unbrick takes tonight lol. I am not having any luck at all with this phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
How's it bricked?

Try the other way. Manually do it all. Follow infused instructions
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wvmedic:
Thanks Tyshemi, I will try that as soon as my brick changes back into a phone again. Honestly, I had given up on it last night and when I woke up for work this morning, it said completed and the timer was 49:06. If it takes this long again, I will snap a picture of it.

Oh..and it is probably considered soft bricked, since I can still get into download. However, when I first tried and each additional try to flash for the CWM, my screen on the phone became really pretty with a bunch of random pixels lit up. Only after starting GTG's unbrick and unplugging the phone will I get the android guy with the shovel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Yes buddy that's weird that's way to long. I would go for the manual way to do that. Look in infused Ron install it'll guide you or pm me

Just extract the tar files and flash each component. From heimdall commandline:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs <other stuff here - read Heimdall's help to figure out which component is what - I think it's --modem modem.bin>

Note - flash em' all in one go with multiple commandline arguments.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wvmedic:
Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to those who helped me with this issue. In the end, I flashed with Odin as far as it would go, then when it decided to hang on the kernel flash, I flashed that using Heimdall. Unorthodox yes, fun not really, but worthwhile. The Infused ROM is running well.

I997UCKI4 - Kernel Panic Upload issue

I have flashed my phone to get the I997UCKI4 rom. I'm on 2.3.5 firmware now. I followed all the steps mentioned in the xda thread:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272462

This is how I did it:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A

Post upgrade I did a factory reset which wiped all my data but fixed whatever issues I was facing with incoming calls, rainbow screen, email client, etc.

Before doing the factory reset I had backed up everything using Wondershare MobileGo

Now coming to the problem that I'm facing:-

When I connect the phone (phone in usb debugging mode) to my PC through usb cable Wondershare MobileGo detects the phone. I start the restore process. During the restore process the phone suddenly goes into "user fault kernel panic upload mode"

I have to take out the battery and restart the phone. I have tried this several times and each time the phone show the error when restore is between 3-13%.

I tried getting to the 3e recovery screen and the phone simply gets stuck at the Samsung Logo. The top half of the screen looks like as if there's a lot of dead pixels. I have to press the power button continuously to turn of the phone and start it back again.

My question is, If I follow the steps mentioned by you the phone'd get back to the way it was shipped to me in the 1st place (with all the default AT&T apps & settings)?

Will I be able to install actual (final) gingerbread release from Samsung/AT&T whenever that is out in the future?

Will I be able to use Wondershare with my phone to restore my contacts & apps without going into the Kernel Panic Screen?

Or am I screwed?

Amazing job bro. I was doing a simple wipe, flash custom rom and then back to MIUI using a backup in CWM and it totally bricked my damn phone.

My EVO was so much more stable than this Infuse. I hope in time the right software/firmware will make it more stable.

Back to the drawing board.... root & cwm.

HELP! I dont know what to do, i dont know any way to get the drivers for my phone, and i need to get it back to stock so i can send it in to samsung... if i can download something from my phone that woould be great, but i dont know what to do:(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] brorex:
Samsung kies. Will give you the drivers needed if your using windows not sure on other OS's just Google it and install
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: usb drivers

Here you go, this is the usb driver I use.

http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...ATT_SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2.zip

Be sure that you first go into the phones settings.

settings>applications>developement and enable usb debugging.

Just download and install the drivers then reboot the computer

and plug the usb cable in.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeym11:
The link didn't work for me:( and I think they updated kies recently and i dont have the button that says install drivers or what ever it was

Edit*

I went to the resolution connection thing in kies and it looks like it might be installing the drivers:D

tbh, if i can get them, im good

Btw i just relized that link was a download...but it's AT&T, im on rogers in canada, will it be the same?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: usb driver link

The link works fine... ;)

AT&T and Rogers Samsung Infuse both use the exact same usb drivers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeym11:
Yea at home it gave me the 404 error, but at work on my data stick, it gave me the dl... testing it now... ran setup and gonna try to do the thing in kies... and my phone is in usb debugging mode

*edit*

Not sure what i am supposed to do with the files... i ran the setup on my comp... is that right?

anyways it didn't work and know i am trying to figure out how to get back to stock and without superuser with out my computer :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: usb drivers

For best results, you should uninstall kies as its NOT needed and many

people using it have usb problems.

Thats why I use the stock Samsung Infuse USB drivers.

After installing the usb drivers from the link I gave, reboot the computer

and plug the usb cable in AFTER the computer is done rebooting completely.

(be sure to reboot the computer after uninstalling kies and before you install the samsung drivers from the link I gave)

Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeym11:
Well i tried doing that stuff, and after the 3rd restart(i didnt read all this the first time) It still doesnt work -.-

I beleive now the only choice i have it to unroot it with out a computer if there is any way -.-
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: Unroot

Here is an app called "z4root.apk" which can root or unroot the phone:

http://www.mediafire.com/?s9b6qoba91282sq

Download it and copy it to sdcard on phone and then

install it like any other app.

This can either root or unroot the phone.

Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeym11:
It can't really be that easy lol... i ran it and pressed unroot, and im not sure if it really did anything... i mean it said what ever message and now it says that i do a permanent root or a temp one, but i still ahd superuser. I'm gonna try a factory reset and see what happens but i don't beleive that it I actually just unrooted it with that one button

*edit*

yea i still have super user -.-
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: superuser

You can uninstall "Superuser",

simply go into settings>applications>manage applications and click

on the "ALL" tab then scroll down to "Superuser" and uninstall it.

After using z4root for unrooting, I forgot to tell you to uninstall superuser and reboot the phone.

good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeym11:
So after i do that, it will actually be unrooted? cause it is still on infused?

and i just noticed, i went to uninstall superuser, and I couldn't now -.-

Wipe Issues

So I'm having this odd problem. I have an Infuse 4g that can't be wiped. I've tried this threads method and all the others in the Infuse "Factory/Return to Stock" section. All of the methods look like they work, so no errors. Odin passes just fine each time it is run, with pit and without. But each time I get booted back up, the phone is at the exact same place as it was before. It says it's rooted, but has no root permissions. I've turned data and wifi off, so it isn't pulling any kind of online backup, and there is no internal program like Titanium running a restore. Factory resets, resets from recovery, they all complete with full success, meaning no error messages, but as soon as the phone reboots It's right back where it started. Part of the problem is that I'm having a tough time searching threads since I have no error message to search against, so I apologize if this has been covered. Below are the specs as listed in About:

AT&T

Samsung-SGH-I997

Firmware 2.2.1

Baseband I997UCKE3

Kernel 2.6.32.9

Build Froyo.Ucke3

Am I missing something really simple or does it sound like it has some hardware damage of some kind. Every program I run completes with success. When I run superoneclick root, it says it works, when I run unroot, it says it works, but nothing is really making a change on the device.

Thanks for any input.

Update:

It looks like no matter what I do either through a program like Odin or ADB, I can't get any changes to stick. Even something simple like deleting a personal file off the internal Sdcard. I've deleted through CWM by mounting, recovery through ADB, booted into the rom and deleted through file manager and through ADB. It all looks like it works until I reboot, then the file is back. I've formatted everything available through CWM then Odin back to stock, tried reset permissions. I even got the great "phone ! Computer" icon and brought it back, but each time I boot back up after all of this, the exact same files are always there, no additions or deletions. The guy who is having me work on it told me he got it refurb, so I guess it is possible this is a hardware issue, but if anyone has any other suggestions on something to try, let me know.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rbk1016:
SO here goes...

first off i am on a mac, rooted, have all appropriate drivers, etc, have used adb to root.

I am a total newb, and was experiencing issues flashing a new ROM. when trying to install the zip through cwm the phone said "signature verification failed" or something to that extent. so being the deductive thinker that I am, I formatted everything: boot, system, sd, etc. After doing this, I realized that I totally wiped out all the files on the internal sd.

so i downloaded the heimdall one click- it connects but fails regardless of whether i flash boot loader.

i can access red cwm and download mode.

now. i want to know if it is possible to push or even install a ROM through adb. I've been playing around with it all day and have gotten nowhere.

i thought maybe i could load up a rom to an external sd but obviously you can't mount an extsd in cwm.

am i screwed?

ill gladly donate through paypal if someone can help me get my baby up and running again. i do not want to be using my nokia from middle school anymore!!

thank you in advance for ANY help you can give me.

Rob
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
You can mount your sd in CWM. Go to "mounts and storage" and mount /sdcard. Then, if you have ADB up and going, just adb push your ROM zip to /sdcard. Should be able to then select your zip for flashing in CWM.
