So, I had a rooted Infuse. I bought it rooted.
I finally start getting the balls to flash a rom, and like most people the first time... Soft bricked.
Spent from 8pm-11pm last night unbricking and now its back to stock.
I found the settings for the APN online so I can now get on the interwebz (browser) on the phone.
However, the app store will not download anything. Very frustrating. I have searched and searched with no solution to my problem.
Thanks

You must factory restore your phone, this will erase your memory so take what you want off

As in factory reset in the settings?
A thought
I suppose you have already attempted to clear your market data by going into settings\applications\market and delete all data associated with the market? (If so factory reset may be the ticket as suggested above)

Full factory reset will do the trick. For me when flashing the Infuse either back to stock or a ROM if I haven't done a format this is the type of weird random stuff that happens.

Pick up a JIG if you are worried about it, it will get you back into download mode if you manage to completely mess things up.

I had baseband firmware & imei Unkown issue, after loading the rom (Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4 ) via ODIN,
Then I guessed there should be a issue with the modem, then flashed different different modems via ODIN (ki1.tar.md5 / kh2.tar.md5 & etc) nothing worked for me...
then after reading a thread I tried above modem (kh2.tar.md5) + "T959VUVKG4" pit file combined via ODIN. phone went off never turned back...but now i could connect the device using following method:-
1. removing battery
2. plug cable + volup + down
3. plug battery
then it shows to DOWNLOADING MODE
however my PC doesnt recognize the USB driver it shows as UNKNOWN DEVICE in under Device Manager in my PC. I tried even reinstalling the Samsung USB driver no luck
any chance that i could get my phones life back ?
good news, i changed the cable then changed to another PC. then USB recognized via ODIN, I culd flash everything sucessfully
but the hard part is,,, i still have the UNKNOWN baseband & Imie issues, can someone instruct me what to do ?

I too have the same problem since this morning. I have Tmobile Samsung Galaxt 4G SGT959V and after rooting and downloading kernel files, it was only going to the T Mobile logo. Last night I was bale to get into the download mode and then I started downloading Gingerbread. Now my phone is not powering up. I called up samsung and as it under warranty, they are ready to fix. My problem is they will find out what I was doing and this might breach some samsung regulation. not sure???
I would like to know what should I do for getting my phone power on or in download mode. I have tried all the above mentioned steps, but it just not works. Duh!!
Please someone help!!
Rooting phone voids warrenty. Turn Odin on and then hold volume up and volume down at the same time and while doing that plug in your USB cable to get into download mode. Even if nothing shows on the phone Odin may still recognize it. Try it a few times if the first attempt don't work.

I tried doing this several times. But Odin dont recognize nor does my phone powers on. Do you think it drain the battery while rooting and downloading?
Try removing the battery first then, hold volume button up and down simultaneously then plug your USB cable its recommended you have Odin up and ready while your doing this. Make sure your battery is charged before you for any of this! Good luck ;-)

Phone isnt powering on... I dont even see battery icon when hooked to charger.
Your phone may be hard bricked as in dead and lifeless. Im not sure if Samsung will be able to tell if your phone was flashed because its dead.Samsung slaves usually use different battery and usb to see if phone turns on,if it doesn't they then inspect phone for physical damage and then they send you a refurbished one. T-mobile are a bunch of noobs they wouldn't know anything so push for a new phone with them. Could you please explain exactly what you did? My guess is odin flashing with wrong firmwares or kernels.
hi
i had the same hard brick problem as above but for me it was weird. all i wanted at the time was to get rid of the bloat where and i did after which i unrooted and the phone worked fine. the weird thing is later i went in to download mode by accident and before i could do anything the phone was bricked. tmobile replaced My phone but if this has happened to anyone else please reply

Are you on a Galaxy S 4G? I believe JFD is a ROM for the Vibrant, not the SGS 4G.
If you did, you might want to try AdamOutler's unbrickable mod:

I really wish I knew of another way. You could try searching the forums a bit; there might be a way, but usually if the wrong boot loaders were installed you'd have to follow the link I sent, use a jig (which I know nothing about) or something of that nature.
I wish you luck.
What phone do u have?
i posted in this box so obliviously i have a SSGS4GT.T
Umm,can i ask u one more question?
Can i use JIG to trick the phone go into Download mode?_?.

Now my phone will not turn on I tried 2 different batteries, it won't go to download mode or cmw. Wont TURN ON! I have absolutely no idea what to do to turn it back on. Looks like its a hard brick and I dont no how to fix it. If anyone can please help me get it back on its not even excepting the charge. Please help thank you, and Happy Holidays!

When that happened I just closed odin, plugged my phone back in and re-start odin. It should show up in the yellow box. Make sure that your zip file is good.Have Fun.

Thanks for the help. I think I need to get into cmw some how and do a factory reset but I dont no how.
I can get it into download mode but the phone still wont turn on. This all happened after i went to mount and storage and started formatting everything like a moron. All i need is to get to cmw and I can get this fixed......
When in download mode, try flashing just a kernel.

Every time odin has stalled on me the problem has always been the USB cable.
I've found shorter cables seem to be more reliable.

Ok so, I just did a trade on Craigslist recently and got an S3 from Verizon, clean ESN and all, it just had a cracked screen. Well the guy had already bought a replacement he just didn't know how to do it. Did the trade, got home and completed the screen repair. Works great, but here are my problems....
1. Phone is PIN locked and I don't know it and he can't get a hold of the guy he got it from.
2. It will not boot into anything but normal, no Download mode, no Recovery, nothing.
3. Windows doesn't recognize it. At one point in my 100+ times of connecting and disconnecting it, it did recognize it and was going to install the drivers for it and then it said device unplugged, which it hadn't been.
So now I come to the great world of XDA and see if we can't solve this issue together. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried 4 different USB cables as well. All of which work with my current S3.
Thanks
So no one knows anything eh?

You should be able to pull battery, replace, and force into download mode. I haven't heard of a phone that wouldn't go into download mode that would boot up. Anyway, after flashing with Odin, the pin should disappear.

Yea man I have tried all that. I have tried every kind of way to get into download mode, to no avail. Pretty frustrating really! I even reformatted my computer to see if it might be that, but nope.
Still hoping...
Ok so it is sitting in DOWNLOAD mode right now but Windows still doesn't recognize it, meaning ODIN doesn't see it either!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I don't know what I did, I just unscrewed everything, moved stuff around and screwed it back together.......
EDIT: Ok so I got into recovery finally, did a factory reset. Windows still won't recognize it but at least it works now.
If you can get into recovery. Wipe data. so and PIN should be gone
Now boot phone and hit that USB debugging.
Odin should see it now.

Yea I did a factory reset, but can't get past activation of SIM since it isnt unlocked or anything. So it just give me turn off phone or emergency call. Windows still doesn't recognize it though.
I searched for three days before posting this, hoping for an easy answer. I tried to flash the GOV33 Lean Performance ROM last week and ran into a few problems. I followed the instructions and wiped the phone back to factory, clearing everything several times. I then tried to flash the rom as directed, but it acted like there was no phone present, so due to a lack of free time I gave it up as a bad job and started using the sidekick normally with the fresh wipe. No problems until yesterday. For some reason, for the entire day, the phone would not connect to the Tmobile network. So, when I got home I held down the power button to reboot it, and when it rebooted, it showed the downloading screen with the yellow triangle and the android with the shovel. Since then it has done and shown nothing else. I can't get my computer to recognize it to Odin it back to factory, and no button combination does anything. I am totally stuck and am inches from calling this phone bricked and letting my son shoot it.
Well I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to Samsung phones, even with all the crazy **** I've done to this one occasionally I'm at a loss. Is it possible you have a sticky button somewhere? Like forcing download mode even after a battery pull? Also do you for sure have the proper drivers installed or rules(for Linux) to use download mode? Have you tried hiemdall? Have you tried a different USB cable or different computer?

This may be due to faulty odin . I'm not a wizard hell I look to ric an this wizard above me for help ahah xD
Ill ask a few questions first
Can the plug be falty an not reading the phone?
Are any of the buttons "sticky" in the term when you press is down it doesn't give the nice load click but kinda slowly pushes it?
Did you try this way for odin vvvvvvv? (Its my personal way I odin as it doesn't read most times on my old pc)
But yea my phone doesn't get reconized for awhile when trying t odin what I do is go into download try to odin if it doesn't work I pull the baatter an put it back in which will lead to odin with a different image then from there you want to try to odin with bootloarders on/or off if it fails turn it to the opposite (so if you turned it on an failed turn it off)
