To be completely honest, when I was new to this phone, I had a heck of a hard time finding the USB driver. I know you are supposed to install Kies, but that's a pretty big download. This 19.6 MB installer is found in the Kies files, I just decided to upload this for the sake of people who don't have the drivers yet.
Please inform me if this has already been posted/does not work.
I have NOT tested this, it should work though.

[scratches head] kies doesn't support the infuse (other than the drivers of coarse), installing kies is silly. The drivers are on the Samsung website under product support exactly where you'd expect them to be.
Kies supports my infuse...
Yea true don't get support with kies but until I installed it I never could get my phone to find what it needed to on the computer. It really is important if u end up having issues connecting and finding your phone

That's because kies installs drivers, but again the logical place to look for drivers is the Samsung product support section and they are there. Its amazing the simple things this while forum seems to ignore.

Which kies functions are supported with the infuse? Can you update firmware? Can you install Samsung apps? Edit contacts? Sync media? I never tried it but as fast as I know only galaxy s phones a supported and the infuse on att is not labeled as a galaxy s. I've heard it doesn't work but I have Linux on my computer and never use windows unless I have to. I have no reason to use kies or USB drivers.
so kies works on infuse now? that would be really helpful if they had an app, because my usb driver is broken and i cant update my phone.
any help?
yes, kies supports the infuse now. and is the only proper way to upgrade to official gingerbread from att.
thats a little stupid idea to say the least...
what about people that dont have a computer, or like me their USB connection on their infuse is not working(im not the only one)?
i cant find any drivers for my infuse or ways to download the update that im pretty sure would fix my phone...they've really left me deserted and want me to pay a fee to have my phones OS reinstalled
on the infuse, gingerbread required a new bootloader which required a computer. you should have drivers loaded with kies, if not you can get them from samsung. you may have to go select the proper driver in device manager. i know it conflicts if you install adb.

You can try using Mobile Odin. The lite version can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Otherwise the Pro version can be found on the Play store for $5.
I have an Infuse 4g that I've rooted and romed multiple times with no problem, but about 2 months ago I updated it to 4.2.1, rooted and romed it with paranoid android and eventually bricked It and restored it back to stock using Odin. I was planning to sell it until I changed my mind because it's such an awesome phone , so I decided to reroot it. That's when I tried rerooting it, but it didn't show up on the computer when I connected it. I even tried using 3 other computers, different usb cords, and even the different usb ports on the computers as recommended.
I've never had this kind of problem before, and if I did I looked on here and always found the answer. I even waited to see if anyone had the same problem which I did find a thread on it, but it has become inactive with no solution. I would be very grateful and willing to donate to someone who could help. I'd much rather donate some money than having to buy another phone that I can root . Thanks in advance

I already have stock 2.3.6. and it won't go into download mode anyways because it doesn't connect to the computer.
you can try using a usb-jig and force it into download mode
then try connection either heimdall or odin in download mode

Does the USB-Jig at this site actually work with the Infuse 4G?
http://usbjig.com/
get it on ebay for about $1 - any galaxy jig works
Ok thanks, ill try that.

Doesn't restoring mean you will lose the files you used to have on the phone? I have the same issue, and it doesn't help, since I have files on the actual phone which I need to get !

If I understand correctly, the 'jig' option only helps getting into dowload mode, correct ? I have files on the phone I would have life to get off, how do you suggest I go about doing this ?

Hey, what do you suggest for getting files off the phone unto a computer?
1 - jig = download mode
2 - files to PC?
- USB, mount drives to copy sdcards
- USB, run ADB from Android SDK to copy anything... Use adbmagic or android commander for a window-based interface
- SMB, to copy to PC via wifi
-CIFS (if the kernel supports it) to copy to PC via wifi
First option is easiest, others require some searching, reading, learning, and setup on your part.
--- if you are talking about your apps, run TiBu first and then copy the contents of the TitaniumBackup folder from phone to PC along with everything else you want to save.
--- To fix USB connection problems, if you are running windows, you can try removing the phone usb entries from device manager. I wrote something up on this a while ago.. I'll post a link when I'm back in front of a computer.

I don't know personally, that's why I was asking about those Jigs. I'm just a newb. But now that I know what they do, I'm buying one! LOL!

Haha. Ya - Thanks though !
FYI - Airdroid works amazing; just a thought ! :victory:
My apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere, if so please just point me where to go...
Last week we switched to T-Mobile from AT&T. I had AT&T unlock all 4 of our phones. That was done successfully.
So my wife starts using her S7 and she can make calls and text just fine, but she calls from work saying she has no data. Hmm. So I call tech support. They have me change Access Point info several times, but still no luck. Tech guy "escalates" things to "Engineering" but we haven't heard boo from them.
I was tinkering with the phone and recall Airplane mode can sometimes kickstart data issues, sure enough, if I turn Airplane Mode on, then off, I get full 4G LTE signal and we can surf. But the minute I reboot the phone, we lose data connection until I do the airplane trick.
Note that all of our other phones have no issues like this, and yes, tech says all phones show having full access to data.
So has anyone had this issue and successfully fixed it? If so how? It's driving us crazy.
Thanks in advance.

Try flashing a Tmobile firmware to the phone it will be more compatible with the network and also solve issues with cellular connectivity private message me so I can give you detailed instructions
How do I do that? Thx

Ok it's actually easier to give you instructions on the main thread but first I need you to make sure you have access to a computer unless you are actually using xda so assuming you are near your computer when you have time back up your wife's phone with smart switch, here is a download link http://www.samsung.com/us/assets/Smart_Switch_pc_setup.exe
Matter of fact I got a call from T-Mobile telling me to try to "flash the software" and use the Smart Switch to back things up. I downloaded the Smart Switch for PC but when I tried to open it, it wouldn't install, gave me some weird error message.
So once I get the phone backed up, can you point me to how to flash the T-Mobile software? I'm crossing my fingers this is fairly easy since I'm not much of a tech when it comes to deeper smartphone tweaking (ROM's this and that lol).
Thanks for your help folks. I just want a smooth running phone vs. giving T-Mobile $30 more a month for an identical phone.

Thanks for the links, do you (or anyone else) have a detailed list of installation instructions? Teach me like I'm in 3rd grade.

Ok first put your phone In download mode by holding down volume down+power+home until you see this
Sorry, posted too soon here is what you will see while in download mode
So am I downloading both those files above to my PC, or to the phone? At what point to do I put phone into Download mode??
I guess the big question, what are the odds that this bricks her phone?
thx
And then in Odin you will see 4 tabs BL AP CP CSC click on the BL button next to the message box and select your downloads folder do this for the AP CP and CSC as well and click start

The bootloader is locked so you can only brick your phone if you unplug it while it is flashing also you may have to use a modified Odin program so if you need it let me know
So to confirm the steps:
First backup my phone using Samsungs software via my PC then..
Download the two files you posted earlier TO MY PC.
Open Odin and get the folders situated..
Plug in the phone to the PC and set it to Download mode
Let it do it's thing..once done I should have the full T-Mobile software and no more AT&T junk?
Sound correct..if not, please fill in any missing steps.
Much appreciated.

Hi guys,
Just looking for advice/knowledge really - Scowered the net/xda but unable to find a clear answer.
I have a number of devices all on MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPKD and when I try to do software updates, it prompts that I need to connect to WIFI, issue is, I don't have wifi nor the option to tether another phone.
Any advice is appreciated.

The scenario is, I have no wifi, nor any internet connection other than the device.
I don't think its gonna be possible to do the update OTA as its gotta be my carrier thats restricting it.

Where in the world are you that you can't get access to a PC with a net connection for enough time to flash a ROM?
Friend, Library, College, School, everyone knows someone or somewhere with net access and a PC
or at least allow you to download what you need and copy to USB / DVD so you can flash at home on your own PC
