HI all,
So yes I have already tried to google, and look through other posts but cant find anything that is my particular situation, heres what happened, Infuse was running on ZEUS 6.1 perfectly, I decided to install ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned, I followed all the instructions, installed ROM, disabled VooDoo lagfix and then the stock kernal, after that the phone just didnt come back to life, the result is currently on the SAMSUNG logo, I can go into recovery just download mode but my USB is not detected either, when I install the drivers it doesnt do anything, tried KIES and other drivers from SAMSUNG, also removed USB ports, restarted, and tried other pc's and laptops and same USB error, even tried on linux, no luck, can anyone please help, I love this phone and the ROM, I have no idea why I attempted to do this but need help.
Thanks all[/FONT]
This happened to me lately but I was on stock froyo. Seems like my usb cable was for charging only. When I bought one that said it was for charging and data, the Infuse was recognized instantly. I am a noob here, but hope this is all of your problem.
Yep, thats what I'm starting to wonder, if its the cable, I am using the microUSB cable that came with the phone from SAMSUNG, never was an issue before, would connect and trasnfer data without a problem, also tried a few blackberry cables no luck, the crazy part is I cant even go to recovery mode, it only goes to download mode, wondering if I can copy some files to the SDcard to boot off with.
If you try everything and it does not work, contact me I know a guy you can send it to for it to be unbricked. When he unbricked mine, he noticed the usb controller somehow glitched and can never be fixed, resulting in a whole new device needed (he tried replacing the usb hub, did no good). Thats what happened to me, make sure to try everything first though.
So after trying a dozen cables, nothing seems to work, I should have known this when the OS was still on ZEUS and I attempted to connect via USB which I received USB not recognized message, I have tried the same SAMSUNG cable for a blackberry and it installs perfectly, so its not the cable, my understanding the USB port on the Infuse is bad, is there a way to boot into recovery of an SDcard so that I can install ZEUS back? I only have "download" mode working, recovery for some reason does not come-up, I am really trying to avoid throwing this phone in the garbage, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Clarification?
You can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see the phone? I don't think you have said anything about trying to do anything to the phone in download mode.

That's exactly it, I can get into download mode just fine, once I connect to pc I get USB device unrecognized, although the drivers are installed, so the crazy thing is I have been on here since the days of Infused downloading and updating ROMS back and forth, never posted anything, even when I had an issue back when, I was able to go into recovery and do what I need to do to bring it back to life, almost felt like an expert given the amazing advice here, never had an issue till now, please help.
I had accidentally set my Infuse in an "almost" empty cup, not realizing that there was still about an inch of lemonade at the bottom. This unfortunatley screwed my USB recognigtion to my computer. It can charge, but is no longer capable of transferring files via USB. There is, however, Kies Air. This has been such a lifesaver!!! You can transfer files to and from your phone, and I have transferred Zeus and Aeon to my SD card through Kies Air. I installed Aeon on my phone no problem and it is working flawlessly You only need to download the Kies Air app to your phone. No special drivers, apps, or software is needed for your computer. If anyone has any questions on how to do this, you can PM me or just post on here.

Doesn't help much when he is only able to go to download mode, or sick at Samsung screen. I was having a similar issue. Odin was not recognizing my device but heimdall 1 click worked like a charm. Give that a shot, let me know how that works out for you.

im having exact same problem...
i got it connected to my friends laptop and i flashed infusion kernel 1.0 through odin.. it failed..
and now i can't even get to download mode.. it only shows pc!computer image/..
I have had this problem a lot too. I believe that the problem is with the cable from Samsung. It's crap. Just by chance I noticed that my friend's Kindle cable had the same usb plug. I tried that and it hasn't disconnected once.

Try pulling battery
Replace battery
Hold the volume down button while plugging in a usb cable (already attached to computer) into the phone...
See if you can get into download mode
Were you using odin or heimdall to go back to stock?

then try Hemiball if odin is not working. I remember somewhere that drivers are particular to the port you are using. With hemi if you are asked you might not see the driver the first time. click the dropdown and located from there
Samsung usb driver.
for Windows 32bit
for Windows 64bit
Your computer remove all samsung driver and kies, restart completed.
Install samsung usb driver and connecting usb test.
Had exact thing happen to me !!! not bricked!
as the others have said need to try and get it into dl mode! need a GOOD data cable "thats how i got that pretty screen" your data cable caused this issue odin says i see phone then all at once say just 7 seconds into update odin says ooopsie no phone. then when you go to redo poof you get that screen i freaked! turns out it was data cable!
you may need i think its called a "jig" if buttons wont allow you !
once you get that yellow triangle your good to go !
OK guys, serious problem here. Went to install aeon 1.4 on my girls infuse, and decided to do a clean wipe from stock, (heimdall) on MacBook. And it just gets stuck at red recovery, so far I've tried using two different computers running windows, and even the MacBook with paralells. To no success, MOST flash attempts end in a failure somewhere in factory fs. Or cache.
One thing I should note Ghats oddly different, is her phone, ever since day one, when going into download mode, you get a warning screen about how its unsafe to flash aftermarket roms,
Cable works.

There has been some reported issues with the heimdall and heimdall 1 click on Mac.
You may need to borrow or use a PC based OS to get it to flash. You will also need admin privileges to flash the jar file.

I've tried using MY infuse to get all the drivers setup, and it will connect, but when you try to connect during download mode, or USB mounted storage under recovery, it either does nothing, (hers) or in download mode says unrecognized device (both) I was thinking it might be the cable, but the cable worked FINE on my phone when I flashed it on the Mac. Now suddenly its a complicated issue...

the 1-click has its own drivers built in. I usually have luck switching to different usb port
edit:
Try GOOGLE "how to use heimdall or how to install heimdall drivers" for some suggestions. The other thing I can think of is to try attaching a USB hub to one of the port and try again. The newer hub may help your pc recognize the newer device on the older port...beyond that, I can't help much further. It's a matter of find a pc that works for you.
If you look thru the Q/A thread and the main thread, there has been some report about Mac not liking heimdall or vice versa

On my mac, those drivers work, on my PC, my device doesnt come up as USB Composite Device, so it doesnt let me fix it. it just shows up as unkown device.
I believe i could fix this issue if i could somehow transfer a rom file onto the usb storage, or access the memory card at all from recovery
Hello all,
Firstly thank you for the great development and help the community is providing for GS4G. From the time I bought this phone (few weeks ago), I have been playing around with different ROMs. I try GB roms and ICS roms every now and then. Always go back to GB using 1 Click's.
Yesterday when I was going the 1-Click Heimdall, it failed in between with some error. After this, I am unable to boot into the OS or recovery or download mode. It comes to a screen which tells me that the firmware upgrade was interrupted and asks me to use recovery in Kies. I tried this, but Kies does not even recognize my phone anymore. Windows shows my phone as "unknown device". I tried uninstalling and re-installing Kies, but still no use. I hope there is some way to get my phone back.
I read somewhere about a USB Jig that could get you into download mode. I have ordered it from Amazon and it may take a couple of days. Meanwhile, if any of you can help, it would be great. Thanks!
youre soft bricked, this is fixable. The firmware upgrade interrupted screen is the same thing as download mode. try reinstalling the drivers which i think are found in the sgs4g BIBLE thread. after that, plug in your phone and make it go to the firmware upgrade interrupted screen and see if it installs the drivers. read lumin's guide. it explains everything step by step. im going to try to link it here soon.

Thanks. I had tried eollie's Heimdall Stock KJ6 + Root. But, I don't remember seeing the driver installation window show up. I tried reinstalling the drivers through Kies couple of times and re-booting. But, still didn't work. I will try what you suggested when I get home.
You should be able to fix it. Goodluck

When I connect my phone, Heimdall does nothing but says "disconnected". Windows shows that "a device has malfunctioned" and shows "unknown device connected".

Sounds like you need to run zadig.exe in the Drivers folder of the Windows distribution of Heimdall.
If that doesn't work, right-click on (My) Computer, select Manage, then select Device Manager. In the panel that opens, find your device, right-click on it and you can then look at its properties and potential change the driver there.
(Yes, this kind of shenanigans is another of the reasons I really dislike Windows)
Ok so what you should try is downloading the heimdall suite
https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads
Extract and open the drivers folder and run zadig. Click devices/show all devices and if your phone is plugged in and in download mode it should see it. Install drivers and it should say drivers successfully installed. Then run your one-click jar file and it should work.

I tried all this. But, still Zadig shows my phone as "unknown device" and does not install drivers for it. Tried USBDview to remove any instance of Samsung & Android from the drivers. But, still does not recognize my device. Any other suggestions.
Try different USB ports on your computer.
Install Ubuntu (not totally kidding on that one, it will install side-by-side with Windows)
When is that jig getting there? One time I had a similar situation and I built myself a jig and it worked like a charm. Phone goes straight into download mode. I dunno if this will resolve your situation but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time we've seen someone with this problem and then after trying several different computers and USB cables we usually say maybe your phone's USB Jack is messed up? And then the thread goes dead.

Have you uninstalled any drivers? Download and install the drivers from the bible thread if you haven't. Like suggested, try different USB ports and different USB cables. Sometimes it takes more than one try for some reason.

Have you rebooted your comp at all?? If no that might be the problem.
SUCCESS !!
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.
Here is what worked:
- I opened device manager and uninstalled ALL USB devices (Yes ALL, not just Samsung, Android etc) and unfamiliar Storage devices.
- Then I rebooted once so that all other device drivers could be installed.
- Then I rebooted a second time and let it install any remaining drivers.
- Then I plugged in the phone and it installed the driver and now it started showing the correct device name
- Now, I ran the Heimdall 1-click and it opened offered to re-install drivers. I did this.
- After all this, I was able to get 1-Click GB rom installed and now back to VB.
(I think the key was "uninstall all USB devices" and "reboot TWICE")
glad you got it to work. ive had my share of soft bricks with this device and it always takes something different to get it to run right. im starting to think that my computer is alive because of this reason because it just doesnt like to play nice sometimes. LOL
Hey there guys, this is my first post on this site after looking around for about the last 2 hours. My phone was stuck in a boot loop, (samsung screen) I found instructions on another post on this site of how to use ODIN to repair this. I put my phone into download mode ( the yellow droid shoveling screen) and began the flashing process, everything seemed to be working fine until my dog runs by and pulls the cord out. Now my phone keeps flashing the [phone]..!..[PC] screen with the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery in keis & try again. connecting and disconnecting to my PC about every 2 seconds it what appears to be an endless loop.. I can no longer enter download mode. I have tried the Heimdall but it simply reads connected then disconnected 2 seconds later in what seems to be an endless loop. So in heimdall or ODIN by the time i am able to read the device and begin the process it has already disconnected. if anyone could lend any assistance it would be greatly appreciated as im sure i could find a much more attractive paperweight for the price i payed for this phone.
Thanks in advance.
Try restarted your PC that screen your seeing on your phone is download mode.Also try different USB port and cord.Also reinstall the drivers for the phone.PCs do some strange things sometimes usually reinstall the drivers will fix the problem.Good luck.

Thanks for the response, I have tried uninstalling keis and uninstalling the drivers through the device manager. I searched my hard drive and could not find any files related before i installed them again. the phone is still power-cycling itself while showing this screen. connecting and disconnecting from my computer.
Honestly I never use kies I just download the drivers and reinstall them.Use Odin or heimdal to flash back to stock then odin entropy kernel then I'm ready to go.Hold both volumes then plug in these programs should read it.I also use a jig comes in handy.Also my PC acts up with the USB ports I end up having to plug in to the back usbs on the motherboard my front ones are iffy.
