Help! Stuck in Boot Loop!

[tfpHumorBlog]

I tried to flash DlevROM INFUSE EDITION from ClockWorkMod and I get stuck in a boot loop.

I've downloaded a return to stock rom, transferred the zip to external sd but I can't seem to locate it on the "install zip from sdcard" screen.

What am I doing wrong? My phone is totally out of commission until I flash a new rom.

I've literally clicked on every folder in "install zip from sdcard" trying to figure out where the rom is.

When I click on "external_sd" it doesn't find any files. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Please help!!! My phone is totally out of commission! Thanks.

You have to wipe all of your data after flashing a new ROM. This is the most common cause of boot loops.

Also make sure you are useing the correct clock work mod version (infuse version). Useing a version made for another phone causes partition and file location mix ups.There is a 100% working one for the infuse somewhere on this fourm. I just can't find the link because I'm on mobile.

Thanks for the quick reply - however, since I'm in a boot loop, is it even possible to change the clockwork mod version?

Also, now when I go to "choose zip from sdcard" it says "no app2sd partition found." I can't click on it at all now.

It shows both as unmounted (sdcard and sd-ext) and it won't allow me to mount either. Here's the message when I try to mount sdcard.

can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block//mmcblk0) (invalid argument) Error mounting SDCARD:!

Sorry - just woke up.

Quick question - where is the file marked "recovery"? I only see in that download Odin and the three files that use with with Odin. Did you want me to follow his instructions first with Odin and then yours? Thanks.

Are you on the correct CWM version? It seems like the partition tables inside of CWM are messed up.

Also consider the ultimate unbrick software it's a one click thing that will send you back to stock.

Yes it is you just need to go into fastboot mode (volume up + power) and flash recovery from your computer again.
