Charging loop, no download mode

My girlfriend's Infuse is stuck in what appears to be a charging loop. If you take the battery out and put it back it all it does it loop at the samsung logo screen automatically without touching the power button. If you plug in a charger it just loops at the battery charging icon screen. I've tried every combo (that I can think of) of connecting the usb cable to pc and same result as above, also tried 3 different batteries. She said this started happening while it was charging via wall charger. I flashed a GB leak for her a few months ago but never rooted. Can anyone think of anything else that I can try?

This is becoming a common problem...the problem is most likely a faulty power button
The fix...in one of these threads there was a guy who sent his to some company that fixed it for him...too tired to look
It's been suggested you can open up the infuse and try cleaning the contacts for the power button to the motherboard
It's also been sugusted you can open up the infuse remove the contacts from the power.button to the motherboard and use a USB jig to turn the phone on when needed

Yes, I believe it is the power button as well. While it was looping I kept mashing the power button and it got past the samsung screen to the ATT screen but then started looping again.

[Q] Inspire 4G flashes full battery screen when plugged in, won't turn on.

I plugged my phone in last night and when I woke up today it was off. I pulled out the charging cord and held the power button with no effect. Thinking the cord may have slipped partly out and let the phone die, I plugged it back in and was greeted by the battery charging screen, showing full charge. I pressed the power button and the phone went black. On further investigation, it seems my press of the power button didn't have to do with it turning off, as whenever I plug it in it shows the full battery screen for a couple of seconds before turning off again. If I unplug it and plug it back in it just repeats this. I've reseated the battery, I've tried holding volume down and the power button, and nothing's changed the phone's behavior. The phone is completely stock, and never opened beyond the battery and card doors.
It's pretty old and I'm pretty sure I do have an upgrade available, so I'm not too upset if I have to buy a new phone, but I'd like to confirm that it is FUBAR before I go that far, and I'd like to be able to extract my data if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you have access to another battery, you could try that, but since you're seeing the full battery symbol I'm guessing that that's not the issue. You can always recover your sdcard data by putting it in a card reader, but the phone's apps, app data, and settings may be more difficult.

Well, turns out the problem was much less serious than I thought: my charging cord has bitten the dust. I'm not sure why I've been seeing the full battery, but when I took it to the AT&T store, the person who helped me plugged it in and it started right up. I just need to get a cable that's not my years-old piece of crap that came with the phone.

[Q] HTC 8x stuck and rebooting after logo screen

Hello,
Had a perfectly fine HTC 8x till this morning. Then the pet at home chewed on the USB cable while the phone was charging .. I suspect the power cables may have shorted with the data cables. In any case, now the phone is totally dead when the charger is disconnected. If I reconnect the charger (new cable) then the phone vibrates, afer that the screen lights up for about 10 seconds with the HTC logo and then it switches off - it keeps doing this till the time I remove the charging cable. The Red charging LED does not come on at any time. I have tried the hard reset with Vol down and power key etc. and that did not work. Any help to revive the phone would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards

I bought one listed for parts on ebay a while back that would do a constant boot loop. what i did was buy a cheap phone tool kit 2$ off ebay as well. removed the rear shell on the phone. dang phone is held with sticky adhesive. its take a minute to separate the housing and screen. if you have watched those videos on youtube where there using a blow drier to heat the plastic to take the phone apart is completely nuts. It only takes patients and dont force it . then disconnected the battery. 2 whole screws. woo hoo.. i couldn't do the hard reset either because the phone woudnt charge in off-mode. just constant boot loop. i had no choice to battery pull. strange thing was the charging light would always stay on even when it was unplugged. once the battery had been disconnected from the pcb it hasn't had any problems.
T-MOBUS HTC 8x Developer Unlocked, Sim Unlocked, and Running Windows 8.1

[SOLVED] Disconnect the battery from the phone for few seconds
Problems faced:
1. Boot Loop
2. Factory Reset using Phone buttons never worked, tried everything and never ever got the " ! " icon
3. Phone keeps restarting showing the HTC logo without "quietly brilliant" ( if you don't see that probably not going to boot the OS)
4. Phone does not work at all unless connected to phone charger
SOLUTION:
After trying almost every possible thing i got this to make it work.
1. Open the back cover ( you will need a hair dryer, check YouTube)
2. Unscrew just the two screws at the bottom of your phone and disconnect the clip-pin thingy (this connects the battery to the phone) for a few seconds. ( it has a metallic cover kinda thing)
Press the power button and your phone will go back to normal.
Make sure you connect anything that gets disconnected in the process... they are quite strong so dont worry, nothing will break or cut off, but do be careful.

hi there ok i found a solution you need to take the cover off and the plug in the charger because a button is stuck
there is only 2 screws you need to unscrew and boob it works

My Case

MY CASE... I've posted a thread explaining that...
This procedure works.. but in my case not at 100% fine... cause i can't insert back the sim card since the bootloops return if i do it...
That left us with a software issue i've not been able to solve yet...
Best regards...

How do you tell if you fried your motherboard or battery?

Yesterday my power button had some issues, my Nexus 5 was a brick unless plugged in with power, in which the Google screen will go on and off (basically boot looping). I decided to open the back of my phone to take a look at the power button, and got my Nexus 5 working again. HOWEVER when I closed it I forgot about the black cover that covers the motherboard and started trying to put in the screws in, (which was very hard). While fumbling to put the screws in, I realized that I forgot to put the cover on and had to unscrew my phone. But it was too late, I think I may have caused a electrostatic discharge on my motherboard or perhaps my battery due to the electrostatic being discharged from the screw. Though I'm not sure which one is fried, but I know one of them is. So how do you tell if which is fried?
and yes I it was very stupid of me...
currently my phone is bricked, nothing happens if I hold my power button, holding volume + power, hold it for x seconds, tried all that.
though when I plug my phone into my computer, and hold both power and volume button, it becomes connected w/ my computer and I could see it as a device connected to my computer, but then disconnects after a few seconds.

Phone Won't Power On Even When Charging

I am having an odd issue and am seeking ideas on what to try next. Yesterday evening my GS6 in a tech21 case fell approximately 3ft from my basketball shorts pocket onto carpet. The phone was off at the time and had just been charging. Thinking nothing of the fall, I went to turn it on and it refuses to power on. I tried re-plugging it in assuming it might not have charged, and that doesn't seem to help either. I see no indication of charging (i.e. no screen indicators or LEDs) when plugged in. I plugged the phone into my laptop running Gentoo Linux and tailed messages but saw no indication of a device being connected which implies to me that it's not a broken LCD or a boot loop - the phone is literally just not turning on. Finally, I placed my phone on a OEM wireless charger at work and the charger pad LED indicates it's charging, but there's no indication on the phone screen or phone LEDs. To me this implies the battery has a charge, but something is preventing it from powering up.
I'm not sure how such a short fall in a case onto carpet would cause this. I have already tried doing a power + vol down and a power + home + vol up, neither seem to have any effect. I plan to take it apart tonight or tomorrow and am wondering if anyone has suggestions on which part(s) to focus on. I'm hoping (and I know it's a long shot) that just some internal cable got knocked out.
