[Samsung Infuse 4G] OnfireNFS:
I have a Rogers Infuse 4G (i997r) and I have been trying to upgrade it to kitkat by using a unofficial Cyanogenmod rom. More recently have been trying to use Carbon rom to update it. I have been running into problem after problem, error after error and I have finally decided to post something on XDA in hopes that someone with more experience can help me out. More information about the errors and what I have done to the phone below.

About a year ago I got this Rogers infuse 4G from a friend. I messed around with it for a bit but what I really wanted to do with it was install a custom rom and update it to a more recent version of Android (It started out on gingerbread (2.3)).

I had a real hard time getting modified recovery 3e because there was not original recovery file in system>bin to replace.

I forget most of what happened but it ended with me using a application to convert the cwm recovery zip to a md5 because I couldn't get modified 3e to work.

I tried using odin to flash the files I made but odin got stuck (or was just taking forever) and I unplugged my Infuse.

The infuse was bricked and would only show "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again". The phone would'nt enter recovery or download mode. It was recognized by odin but seemed as if it was not responding.

About 3 days ago I finally decided to try to unbrick the phone again (I don't know why just felt like it) and I found GTG ultimate unbrick with a pit file. I tried uploading this using odin and the phone responded and downloaded the files.

The phone showed a AT&T splash screen and then the Samsung logo. It hanged at the Samsung logo for about 3 minutes then would turn off reboot, show the AT&T splash screen then the hang at the Samsung logo for 3 minutes again.

I decided that I didn't actually need to install working android because I just needed CWM Recovery and found a CWM Recovery that was flashable with odin.

Now that the phone would actually show a splash screen I could access download mode and the stock 3E recovery.

I went to download mode and flashed CWM Recovery 6 - Voodoo Lagfix with odin

In the CWM Recovery I clicked install update.zip

The phone said installing and when it finished it rebooted.

It showed the AT&T logo and then the Samsung screen then it started talking (which btw scared the **** out of me) and it said installing voodoo lagfix, estimated time remaining 2 minutes

After it was done installing it rebooted and I had the same problem as before. It would show the AT&T logo then hang at the Samsung screen for 3 minutes.

I reflashed the GTG unbrick with odin then I reflashed the CWM Recovery and I was back into the recovery. (It wouldn't just let me boot into it I had to reflash it which was weird)

This time instead of clicking install update.zip I installed the Cyanogenmod-11-infuse-4g-unofficial-2014(some build number).zip

I got (status 7) installation aborted.

when the phone rebooted it showed a cyanogen mod loading screen and I got really excited

after the loading screen it went straight to proper CWM Recovery then it instantly crashed with a little fallen over Android and a red triangle over it.

It kept boot looping like this so I asked for the unbrick files for a Rogers Infuse 4G and installed those.

Once I installed the Rogers Infuse 4G Rom I set it up but I ran into the same problem I had last time.

I can't install the modified 3E recovery because the recovery file is not system>bin. CWM Recovery also fails to install even though it says it has installed.

It turns out the recovery file is on the root of my phone not /system/bin

Im not really sure what to do and guidance would be appreciated.
