Forgive the title, I need it to make it interesting to get some views. Now that's said, let me get to it.
I recently tried to flash MIUI onto my Samsung Infuse. I had Infused ROM v.2.2.3. I must have messed up because now I'm having trouble getting my phone to start. When I power on, it briefly shows the Samsung logo (for about 3 sec); then for split second an alternate screen flashes on my screen just before my phone shuts off. Now, I've tried to load CWM(red version) with the 2/3 button technique; however, I haven't been able to get into that GUI.
I have been able to get into the Download screen, for Odin. But, I was hoping there might be some sort of way to solve this problem without resetting my phone to stock.
Questions
1. Can I utilize the Download screen to re-implement or re-flash my ROMs on my phone; without loosing data
2. Is there a way that I can force my way into the CWM GUI?
3 If none of the above are possible, where can I get information Odin for the Infuse; and where can I download the program?
Thank you for reading, and thanks for the help in advance!

I wasn't going to reply to your thread but you caught me in a good mood. head over to the dev forum and you will find everything you need to get your phone back. That's all I'm goin to give you. the more you search and experiment the more you will learn
Already found somethings that are helping...
I didn't post for as a resource, just thought that if someone knew where to look they'd point me in the right place.
For anyone who might need a nudge; this link will direct you to complete recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
Did you follow the directions exactly as it says? Did you ever get into blue cwm and flash miui a second time?

[Q] [ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root added - Infuse 4G - Arabic Support
[ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root added - Infuse 4G
I applied the above ROM to my AT&T. So far, all is working well from what I have tested: WIFI, BlueTooth, Phone and GPS. It seems to be very stabel compare to other ROMs I applied in the past.
My delimma is that I correspond in 4 different languages and arabic is one of them. When I applied the Hebrew Arabic Patch I am able to see the arabic letters connected. However when I attempt to write any arabic text, it is all disconnected.
I could not post to the forum where I found the ROM since I am new to the XDA forum. But I believe the answer to this question may help others.
Can anyone please provide me a patch to this ROM so it can allow me to write connected arabic letters? If such a pacth exists, can you please point me to it?
Thx for any help!!!
Some of the Arabic keyboards available on the Android market have settings to connect the letters. Here is a link to one that defaults to having letters disconnected, but it offers a setting to connect them.:

This worked!
Thanks jscott30!
Hi Ishedra/ jscott30,
I currently have a Samsung Infuse 4G with the GB 2.3.6 update. I am really only interested in rooting and getting Arabic RTL support.
You mentioned using the ROM [ODIN][UCLB3] AT&T 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root.
My questions are:
Which of the options did you go with because there are 4 of them? Or does it not matter which one?
Where do you obtain a Hebrew Arabic patch that works with this ROM. It seems Arabic support is only available in certain custom ROMs. I tried searching for a general patch that works on all rooted 2.3.6 Gingerbread but couldn't find any.
Thanks in advance!

Hi dashrendar,
Here is a link to the patch that Ishedra most likely used. It should work with any rooted UCLB3 base or rom w/ CWM recovery. If you opt for one of the options from my Odin to rooted UCLB3 thread, it sounds like you would most be interested in Option D.
Arabic patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467808
Arabic keyboard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5pYnJhaGltLmtleWJvYXJkIl0
Let us know if this works, as I've not tried it myself since English is my only language.

Thanks a lot jscott30.
The Infuse is actually my wife's. I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII with stock ROM (2.3.6 GB).
I wanted to make sure that I can do the same patch on my wife's phone so that she is not left out.
I will definitely be following the steps you provided, but I wanted to test on my phone first. Do you recommend a similar ROM for the SGSII similar to what you did for the Infuse--basically, rooted stock software with CWM (to support the RTL patch). The goal is to be as close to stock as possible (can't afford to lose any functionality but I do welcome the ability to uninstall bloatware).
Thanks again!

Glad to help! And I haven't been around the SGSII forums to be able to suggest something similar, but I'm positive that they have similar rooted stock roms. At very least, over there they can show you how to root your phone and install CWM recovery.

Hi jscott30,
Thanks again.
I am in a bit of a dilemma. I stayed up until 4:30 AM this morning trying to resolve an issue I ran into. Sorry, I tried to post in the original thread for the stock image, but because I don't have enough posts I wasn't allowed to.
Anyway, I went with option D as you suggested. I performed the data/cache wipe in step 4 to avoid the potential boot issue. Everything else went okay.
However, after installing a bunch of applications and freezing a couple, the Phone application kept crashing. Basically, when I click on it, the screen stalls for a couple of seconds, the screen turns black with a quick all-screen white flash, then black again. Then after a couple of seconds, I see the pattern screen lock. Then I can go in again. That happened every time I clicked the Phone icon.
I performed the flash again the same way. It went fine. The first thing I checked was the Phone app, and it was working okay. However, now every time I turn on Wi-Fi or mobile network connectivity, the same crash keeps happening periodically every 10-20 seconds, which makes the phone unusable. :crying: I initially thought it was the external SD card, but I took it out and the same symptom persisted. I turned both network connections off for now and no crashes are happening.
Do you have any ideas? I thought I would post this first before I start scouring the forums in case you had any ideas.
Thanks!
I can't reproduce those issues here, so it's hard to say. Try a software factory reset by going to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset. That may clear what is causing your issue. That package has been downloaded over 2000 times, though, and this is the first I've heard of this issue. Makes me think that something is left from a prior install. Also, do you have this issue before the Arabic patch?

Hi jscott30,
I have done the reset as you described and it goes into a loop when it boots. I tried flashing again and this time I wanted to keep track of the order of things. I mean last night I was able to download and install a bunch of apps using WiFi without problems. I think after which I installed the Arabic patch and the crash started happening.
I flashed again about 30 minutes ago following your steps to the word. After that I did the the following:
- Skipped the Setup Wizard;
- Enabled WiFi;
- Launched the browser to ensure data is being transmitted;
- I added my wife's Google Account to make sure it's not a synch issue;
- I asked her to check her GMail on both WiFi and mobile connectivity;
It seems like it's working normally so far. I will try to apply the Arabic patch to see if it's the culprit (which would be disappointing to see it affecting Wifi/Mobile Data).
By the way, I noticed that Al Hosny instructed installing something called Aries. What is that? And do I need this as well prior to the patch?
If the patch is indeed the problem? Could it be an incompatibility with this version of the CWM kernel? (Sorry for any noob questions).
Anyway, thanks for the quick response and I'll keep you updated as to what happens.
If the patch suggested ends up being culprit, I'd PM Ishedra to ask how to apply an Arabic patch. It was a guess on my part that he used the one patch, as I've not used it before. Unfortunately, English is my only fluent language.

When you were installing the app and the OS started crashing, were you trying to install apps that you had backed up previously?
Some times, certain apps restore or apps/data restore from the older OS will cause crash on the newer OS.
When this happens, I would suggest downloading the app new from your source and do not restore them from backed up source.
Not every app/data does this...but if you ran into problems, start new.
Hi qkster,
I was actually downloading and installing those apps from the market. I only backed up/restored their relevant data/settings.
I have some good news though. Before I loaded this Arabic Patch I started looking for another one. I tried and settled on this method whose source steps are in this blog. I see the Arabic text fine, the letters were all connected in GMail, Whatsapp and Facebook. I haven't tried the keyboard because my wife showed no interest.
I apologize for not trying out the previous Arabic patch in order to confirm its functionality. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time--with my wife waiting and depending on her phone and my baby daughter wanting to play with me, it's hard to find the time.
I installed the rest of the apps for my wife and everything is working solid so far.
This is good practice for when I need to do the same steps on my brother's and dad's phones. I believe my phone will be getting ICS soon (which should have built-in Arabic language support), so we'll see.
Thanks again for the great ROM and advice guys. :good:
Hey,
I have been having many problems with flashing custom roms on my fit. Let me describe it to you.
After flashing the custom rom and following the instruction (wipe data etc), when I reboot my device it doesn't boot up (in stock based roms), sometimes it displays a black screen with android written on the side (in cyanogen-mod 7 based roms). The only custom rom that has worked for me till now is 'RazoDroid' (I'm not trying to advertise or anything).
Please help me, I have downloaded more than 15 custom roms and none of them work.
Thank You.

how long did you wait before deciding that the rom doesnt boot.
wait atleast 5 min for the bootanimation to come.
then the total boot time can be as long as 20min .
so dont be desperate and wait do something else till then.
If still problem persists make a boot logcat i.e. start a logcat boot the device wait the prescribed 20 min and close the logcat and post it here.
also do the above mentioned thing for cm7 official and let me know.:good:
Thanks for your reply,
I have waited for as long as an hour.
I finally got it working.
1) For Cm based roms, I had to format /system.
2) I don't actually know how it worked on stock based roms this time, I tried the instructions given by a.cid not the Rom's instruction provided in their respective threads.
Thank You to a.cid for your beginner's guide. Press the thanks button on his thread here, if he helped you too.
Since I cannot yet post in the development section, I'll hope to have some response here. Upon installing the unofficial CM11 mod in combination with pink kernel, I came across a stubborn bug: the battery indicator is invariably stuck at 1%.
A clean reflash (even /system format) did not help. I flashed back the stock ROM, wiped everything and reflashed the CM11 with no difference so far.
Has anybody got an explanation/bug fix? Thanks in advance..

I had this same issue even in stock ROM... just let the battery drain completely til the phone switches off and then charge the phone and boot... it worked for me... :fingers-crossed:
I had this happen to me on stock as well the first day I owned the phone. Left it on the charger all night and on less than ten minutes of use the battery showed 1%. Charged back to full and haven't seen it again. I think server people have experienced this bug.

Hello.
My problem is that sometimes, when I receive a notification, ambient display turns screen on to show it (as it should do normally), but then, when it is supposed to turn screen off again, it only goes black, but the backlight is still on. It's hard to notice, but I don't want the backlight on, using battery, when I think it's off.
The only way to turn it off is by activating ambient display again (moving the phone, waving in front of proximity sensor, pressing power button), and then it would show my normal lock screen and then turn off, until "something" makes it leave the backlight on again.
Anyone have/had/knows this issue? I've used Mokee ROM, now I'm on RR and it happened on both, I don't remember if it happened in CM. Could it be something app related?
Thanks.
Yeah same happened with cm 12.1 latest nightly too.....just checked it now...
The Answer
Hi there !
When you have installed the custom rom, you have probably flashed directly from another custom rom , is this correct?
If so, it may be your phones drivers slightly messed up at the moment seeing as it has different parts from other roms, depending on how you flashed it.
My solution would be to flash the stock firmware , which can easily be found in the forums, and then flash twrp, then your rom of choice. If that doesn't work, its likely a bug in that specific build of the rom you are installing , seeing as another person who has replied has had the same problem .

That's strange! I guess it may be something like the drivers you said, because just one user said that have the same problem, but I'll have to wait until I have some free time to flash stock and root and flash CM and restore all apps and that again... I hate that part of installing another ROM.

Ok, I have spent some time thinking about this one for you, as I really want you to get this one fixed!
Although I need abit more information.
1) Does the issue occur on stock rom?
2)Are you sure it is not a problem with the build you are running?
3)What exact steps did you use to flash the rom?
To show that you appreciate my help so far, please click thanks

1)I can't tell if it occurs on stock, because on stock I use moto display (which doesn't have this issue).
2) I'm almost sure, because I've used 2 ROMs and both do the same. Maybe I'll have to try with CM nightlies?
3)I followed the guide in "general" section to flash stock using fastboot and android sdk. After that, I booted on stock, then rebooted to bootloader, flashed TWRP, entered to recovery, wiped data and then flashed RR ROM with it's gapps and then flashed moto camera and gallery. After that, wipe dalvik and cache and rebooted to system.
Right , ok. I recommend trying one of the cm12 nightly builds, seeing as they worked on my phone fine in terms of ambient display

Well, the other user that commented on this post was also using latest CM nightly, so I'm not very positive about it, but I may try it when I have time.
Well , looking at all of the information In this post , I think it is safe to say ambient display is not fully working on many roms :/
I installed a new build of cm12 earlier, and I found that sometimes the backlight will stay on , but other times it is fine.
If you want to work on this together, email me at [email protected] , and then we can look into it abit further ?
I will take a thorough look into the forums to see if others are recieving any problems as well .
