[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Howdy folks!

I am working my way through a minor (?) technical difficulty.

Would appeciate any suggestions you folks can off this newbie along the way.

Earlier today, I made an absent-minded mistake. Tried to go to my stock Froyo kernel without undoing my voodoo/lagfix/ext/watchamacallit setup. Whoops. Bootloop. No recovery mode available.

So, I attempted to use the procedure described in [ROM] [2.3.6] Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524081

I’m in Windows 7.

I right-clicked on the Heimdall one-click program (Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click), but there was no option to run as administrator. So I just double clicked it and it opened it (deviated from instructions on the first step...oh oh).

With the Heimdall one-click program now open, I put my phone in download mode and it indicated connected (perhaps in retrospect I connected too early)

I followed instruction on the PC program to install drivers, which it did (I already had Samsung drivers installed that I used successfully for SOC root program and for EFS Pro, I’m not sure what it was installing).

The pc program told me it needed to reboot. The phone screen said something about “dont’t shut off...”. I wasn’t sure what to do at that point, so I granted the pc permission to reboot.

PC rebooted, phone remains attached the whole time

Upon reboot, the Heimdall one-click program did not start up again.

So I double-clicked it and started it again.

The phone remained attached, but was not recognized as connected by the pc one-click program.

So I pushed 3 buttons on the phone to get it to turn off, then removed the batteries.

.

Then started pc Heimdal one-click program again. Then put my phone in download mode which it did successfully.

Then ran the flash and go the message “The FACTORYFS upload failed!”

(This occurred run without the checkbox about bootloaders)

At that point I checked the checkbox about bootloaders, and it came up with some scarey warning so I didn’t flash (probably should have).

I once again deenergized the phone (three-buttons, remove battery during the brief period it’s deenergized). Shut down pc heimdall one-click program.

Then started pc heimdall program.

Tried to put phone into download mode and received the following inauspicous message:

“Firmware upgrade encounted an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again”

Deenergized phone again. Shutdown pc program. Powered PC off. Restarted pc. Restarted Heimdall one click.

Tried to put the phone in download mode again and got the same error message.

I don’t know anything about selcting recover mode, not sure how to follow that instruction (any ideas?).

What I did next was search for the error message. It apparently has not been reported in the Infuse section, but I found two threads with this message discussed in the Galaxy S2 section.

“help” is the title of the first

“Firmare upgrade encountered an issue - Am i done for?” is the title of the 2nd:

There may be some more out there...

What I gathered was that I needed to remove my drivers.

I did remove the Sansung USG drivers in my control panel. I think these are the one’s I already had installed prior to me SOC root.

Rebooted.

Reinstalled drivers (filename SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2)

Restarted Heimdall one-click.

Put phone in download mode.

The same error message indicating that my phone has “issues” ;)

Uninstalled my Samsung USB driver again.

Went back and looked at my control panel, there is another program. Keis. Uninstalled that. Rebooted.

Reinstalled SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2 driver

Reinstalled Kies_Mini_For_Captivate_11011_4.exe

Rebooted

Started the Heimdall one-click program.

Put phone in download.

Get the same error message on the phone (firmware upgraded encountered an issue...).

PC at this time thinks the phone is “connected”. So I clicked flash.

It proceeds to the next screen for driver installation.

I selected options / all / Samsung usb / Replace

PC Error message: Driver installation failed.

From those other threads, I’m pretty sure if I get my drivers straightened out I’ll be all right.

I don't know what I did wrong with the drivers... if anyone has a link with concise instructions for uninstalling/reinstalling the required drivers, maybe that would help me see if I've done something wrong.

Any other suggestions?
