Well I have a sgs2, used to have a infuse, picked up another infuse last week for 200 to mess with, very comfortable with routing, roms ect....on the infuse and the sgs2,BUT there was something weird with the infuse, got a rom on it rooted and going, formatted sdcard by accident, went into dl to go back to stock rooted, power went out because if storm outside...;( now all I greet is a white screen....plug in USB white screen, put battery and white screen, constant on both, not sure if it's ducked for good or maybe someone had a few ideas I can try...but I can't even get into dl mode, pushing both volume down and plug USB in....white screen,any time there is power to it, white screen, any help would be greatly appreciated...

it may be hardware.
you may try to use the jig as a first option.
if that doesn't work, you may have to warranty the phone thru samsung as hw failure or send it to one of those guys in the yt vid

Thanks so much man, finally got Odin to recognize with white screen, still wouldn'tflash, would fail 1/2 way through, them ran heimdall jar and it worked, got stock back on at least, seems I might have a bootloader issue, as it won't turn on now unless it's plunged into power (wall or USB) can I just click flash bootloaders in heimdall? Thank you so much for the help! Almost got it!

You're thank button don't work?
Make sure your battery is good or charged past half.
Either heimdall package will work...follow op's. Flash twice for BL's
I have the exact same problem! How did you get Oden to recognize? I will happily give you $20 if you can help. Please help out a mate! Thanks!
Sorry qkster, been on my phone all day not near a computer, don't think I can thank from my xda app
Put it in dl mode even with the white screen, then reinstall kies on your computer for the drivers, then open Odin and it should recognize,I actually used heimdall and a jar file to flash it, works good now, but I can't seem to root, and I can't turn my phone on from power of unless it's plugged in...pm me if any issues

np..maybe it's your battery that's bad.
try a different 1.
if you use heimdall frontend, you need pit and repartition unless you also use the 1 click packages
i'm wondering if it's your battery...
I was thinking too...but my battery even at 100% and I power off I can't turn it on unless it has pee to it... No power hooked up I have to hold power Burton for about 10 seconds then the picture of the 0 battery appears with the little charging star, then dies.... Pee plugged in,I hold power for about 10 seconds and I get the same thing but it goes from 0% battery pic to green charging battery, then I have to hold power again and it will bout up fine...very strange, wish I has another battery kicking around, but I just gave my star...lol

Sounded like you were fortunate to get it running again.
I couldn't tell if it's your charging port or the battery is bad. I have read of corrosion issues as well.
If you have a captivate battery sitting around, it may loosely fit to test out the battery theory.
You can also try a att kiosk or store..they can test it for you.
here is another option I found pretty good:

how did you get odin to recognize it?
I have been running the ICS leak on my sky rocket since it came out, with no real problems making the phone un-useable.
Starting yesterday, my phone would randomly restart and would reboot to the samsung logo. Once it hits the at&t splash screen it will vibrate and reboot all over again until I pull the battery and restart the phone.
Now today the same incident occurred, and pulling the battery is not fixing the issue. When I put the battery in, it will just continue the loop of the samsung logo.
No flashing since I installed ICS months ago, only change would be installing random apps in the play store.
I'm unable to enter recovery, and when I get to the download screen it just reboots after showing a blue screen.
Pretty lost on what else to try with this phone.
Vol+ and vol- and power hold them down
Or vol- plug in usb

Have you tried forcing DL mode when it's already plugged into a computer? Pull battery, plug usb into computer and phone, hold vol + and -, put battery back in. That might keep you in DL mode. Good luck

Popped off the frame, but had to run out before actually doing any tinkering.
So screwed it back together before I left, and now the phone works perfectly fine.

So, my sister infuse recently got into boot loop. I couldn't get into download mode with all the 3 buttons method, so I decided to get a usb jig. It arrived today but once it enters download mode it leaves it after a couple seconds so I can't even plug the usb cable into it. I tried charging the phone for 6 hours but when I plug it in, it goes in a charge loop where it resets and shows the charging circle every couple of second. Anybody know any other tips that made help? I'm thinking it turning to a hardware brick instead of a software brick.
It's possible your power button is messed up...
Also you tried download mode wrong...three fingers is for recovery...
Download mode:
Pull battery
Put battery back in
Hold volume up+down
Plug USB cord with heimdal or Odin running on pc
You should now be in download mode

Samsung infuse into download model
I bought a phone called Samsung Captivate from craigslist. The bad thing about that is the power button did not work. I knew it didn't work thinking I could fix it. I took the phone apart to clean the button. I read that a "CRC QD Electronic Cleaner" would help. I used that. It didn't help. I am think that software is the issue. I want to return it to a stock ROM becuase this phone is rooted. In order to do that I need the the power button to work, to enter it into download mode. Ive tried apps to shutdown the phone, Nothing would help. If anyone can help me that would be awesome.

If you want to turn it off just pull the battery. You don't need the power button for download mode. hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb from the computer

There are thankfully multiple ways to get into the recovery and download modes. Definitely get a handle on the ADB command line to, it's the easiest in my opinion.
If you can't fix the button don't sweat it, I've used my cappy for the last 6 months without it. Use ROMs that have a "volume rocker unlock" feature and learn to use the soft buttons to navigate recovery mode.

Power cycle with download mode
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Hi guys,
I need your help, once again. This afternoon my phone fell on the ground, not from a big height, but it did. As I picked it up it was still working, but I couldn't pick up a phone call I was receiving, so I switched it off. Since then, it's in constant reboot. I tried to pull the battery, but as soon as I put it back in, the loop starts again, without even pushing the power button.
Unfortunately, when I pulled the battery I realized some had craved in, from a previous spill. Not much at all, in fact I was surprised to see it there, but as a fact there was.
I tried to access recovery mod, but with no success.
Thoughts?
Get into download mode and go back to stock.
Could be a problem inside the phone. But you should try going into download mode and go back to stock by using the one click back to stock tool.

No success. As soon as I pop the battery in it starts the loop, so basically I have no time to press volume and then plug the cable in.
If I plug the cable, press volume, and then pop battery in, it goes into a different "battery loop", but still loop.
I can't believe it got damaged for three drops of water...

Try this different method to get into download mode.
Take everything out of the phone (microSD, Battery, and SIM card).
Then hold both volume button up and down and THEN connect it to the cable.
Keep holding the volume buttons and then put the battery in.
It may be hard so you should flip to the back side of the phone and do tht. By doing tht, it will automatically go into download mode.
If that doesnt work it could be a battery problem or the phone is broken :/

Nothing, still goes to a sort of battery charging loop. Damn it...
Can you try to get into download mode without putting the battery in. Just hold the volume buttons and connect it to the cable and see if it goes to download mode. If it does then put battery in. Be careful.

Unfortunately I can't really afford it, but now it's hard to go back to a dumb phone. At the same time I'm pissed at how fragile these things are..
Sadly i have nothing to add to this except i have this exact same problem happening to me right now. Now This is the second phone ive ever rooted so you know I'm a newb their. So Can someone shoot me in the direction of stock tar files and what Odin to use.
I believe that is what i need to do yes?
use Odin to (IDK) inject root access with some other programs needed to use custom roms backups etc, also this is doe using a specific file as this is the part of the process where most phones are bricked?
So sorry but for those following this thread I have searched but IDK the best way to go as they change and i want the latest. As when i first rooted this phone I first tried Superoneclick as it was said to be so easy. Well SOC froze on step 3 i think and never finished once so i ended up doing it with Odin which is the way i did it with my SG3 (for some reason way easier to use maybe more devs??) So i am trying ti pimp my mothers phone LOL She is in her 60s but she knows what shes doing lol. Anyway she hated her phone and i told her all she had to do was root it and load a new ROM and your phone will look and act newer. (wanting to save mom money too) This is my situation.
If you read all that i am asking what Odin version i need or better where to get it. Same with the flash file. IDK if any ICS or JB rooted flash files are made or if its better to use stock 2.3.6 (i think) whichever way results in easiest upgrading and how it should be done. I thank you a lot. I am sorry for the thread hijack but i thought it would be better one post here instead another thread (i hope to have found it from you or on my own before that) like i said i search but i cant find i know its their i found it before so idk.
I do know to thank you again and sorry again for the hijack
