I flashed a rom, i didn't like it so i wanted to go back to infused. after i flashed infused i got stuck at the infused boot screen, i figured it was bricked. I than opened odin and tried to go back to slock, odin failed. I tried several more times and it failed each time, now i can't even get download mode anymore...all i can get is a screen that shows a phone ! pc.

yes, i've done that several times. As i said, download mode worked at first which is when odin failed, i unplugged and tried again, it also failed. I than unplugged it again but now when i try to enter download mode by using the volume keys and usb i get a little picture on my screen that shows a cell phone and a computer and in between the 2 pictures is a orange triangle with an ! in the middle of the triangle...i think its a hard brick.
after about 12 attempts it worked. for some reason or another all of my usb charger cords seem to be loose within the port, i know this because while its charging it seems to always go off and on. I think it was acting up when i was running odin which is why it wouldn't work. I have already made a replacement report with ATT, i'll call them back up and either cancel the order or talk to them about the charging port.

You should try to make a jig to put your phone into download mode. The sell them at MobileTech.com,but you need one sooner. I think it's 3 100ohm resistors. Google download mode jig, they have a video on how to make one. I bought one for my Captivate and found out it works on Infuse. I use it all the time.

FYI
Phone/PC screen is just like download mode. When you get that screen, unplug USB cable. Launch Odin, plug in USB and wait for COM port to light up in Odin. Flash away after that
Thank you so much Uncle Irish. I've been stressing for the last hour trying to get away from the phone/PC screen so I could flash lol. Works fine and dandy just as you said.
Yeah, the only difference between Phone/PC screen and download mode is:
Phone/PC screen is forced, it's telling you that you're not going to be able to do anything without flashing something.

Basically when I boot my phone up, all it shows is an image of a phone, a sign with a ! in the middle, and the pic of a pc. Is there any possible way to fix this or do I have to send it back to tmobile? If it helps I dont think my phone is usb debugging mode either
You should be able to fix . try this.
I'm nit able to get my phone into download mode or recovery. Everytime I boot it up it shows the same screen I mentioned in the OP

Open Odin 1.7 on your computer and plug your USB into your PC. Now take out the battery and hold down volume keys while plugging in USB and putting battery in. Should bring you to download mode. Once in download mode download kd1 put it into PDA and go for it.
Note:it dosent have to show up in download mode to actually be in download mode. If it shows up a little yellow box means in your in download mode.
Best of Luck

I believe I have a similar issue, from Krylon's KD1 CWM, i Rezipped correctly, flashed, this this happened..
However, phone sits on Galaxy s4g boot up screen forever.. left it for 15 minutes now.
Also phone will no longer boot into CWM, looks like this may have bricked me.
Yes I did wipes, yes i followed the re-zip instructions correctly, yes I've flashed roms I know the drill.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or does this rom take forever on the first boot? 20+ minutes? doubt it...
And I cant boot back into CWM, Or stock recovery so i'm not sure how to fix this.
It literally either sits on the first Galaxy S 4g screen, or if i hold three button salute, it acts like it would normally boot into recovery, and cycles over and over with no recovery boot.
**UPDATE** Got mine fixed, odin+download mode
I got the drivers from this site and I had Odin running before I tried to put my phone into Download mode, Odin didn't not pick it up
So I got it figured out. You were right about using running Odin before hand, I just had to use a different usb cable. I brought my phone back. Thanks for all your help
Hi, so i just rooted my sidekick 4g today with superoneclick, and it went well. After the rooting i downloaded the ROM manager tried to flash the ROM, because of the 3e problem on the CWM, i had to use the fix on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052991
So I got the fix and had the ROM i wanted (GingerClone+v2+[AospMod]+Update2), I went to recovery mode and everything started loading. Few seconds later my phone rebooted itself, when my phone turns up, and the flashy Samsung Sidekick 4G graphics came out, nothing else came up. The screen froze at the start up flash.
So can anyone tell me is there any solution to this? i tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911 this thread and it didnt help, when i press those 3 buttons, only thing came out was the sign of battery charging and that was it, nothing happened.
You must have the bttery out then slide the usb in then do the 3 button combo with the download screen as the first screen to odin it

Make sure you have all the files in the right place in odin and correctly named, you shouldn't be having this many issues
How long does it typically take to complete the flash...Odin has been working for about 15 min now and the last message in the message list is...
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection
I am trying to flash the all in one ep4d rom...
Paitence is not my style...lol...

Well, it could take 15 mins, but you would see some progress of the green "progress bar" under the top left box. The first steps seem slowest to me.
I just hot home from dinner and this is still the screen I get.
My Odin screen has been like this for the past 2 hours...
Is there any you're of loading bar on your phone? From the looks of it nothing is loading on the Odin screen

It looks like it never actually started to flash anything, so it shouldn't hurt a thing. It's actually incredibly hard to actually brick a Charge, short of flashing a firmware file from a different phone.
I kept the battary in to keep it in recovery mode......Trying Odin 1.82 now...but still looks like it is giving me the same error even in the USB port on the back of my computer...SIGH...
Hmm and u do have the Samsung usb drivers installed correct? Typically you want to use a rear USB port to flash. Honestly if none of the USB Ports are working I would install the usb drivers to another PC install Odin enter download mode and try again...seems like is having problems communicating through your USB port
Sent from my SCH-I510
Yeah...they are installed...It auto installed when I hooked the phone into the computer...
I tried to reinstall and it said they were already installed so I know there are there...
Im seriously afraid to restart this thing in fear it wiped something and is not going to reboot correctly.
I think you will be fine reason being is that your flash never began on the phone. Files should be left untouched. I would close odin, remove battery, place phone back into download mode by plugging in the usb while holding down the volume down button and then put your battery in once download mode is shown restart odin v1.82 try again. You may also try to redownload the ep4d all in one file. File corruption is also a possibility
Got it to finally work...restarted my phone got it back into recovery and eventually worked...thanks for all the patience and help guys...
Awesome glad to hear!
Please help me. My Infuse 4G doesn't boot. All I see was light on the button. This what happened. I want to go back to stock and use [ODIN][UCKE3] Return to stock (Updated 06/08/11) by gtg465x . I right click on Odin and run as Admin. Odin see my phone on a download mode. I select infuse.pit on PIT, PDA in Pda, and Phone in Phone. then click Start. It got stuck at factory.fs (don't remember the name actual name). It stuck there for so long, maybe like an hour. Then I decide to unplug and pull battery out. close the Odin and redo the step again. This time the status bar went half way and then got stuck again. I left it overnight just to see if it's actually finish and it never did. Just stuck there. Turn the phone on and i only see light on the button. Is my phone dead? I can still able to get to download mode but the phone won't boot.
I done return to stock so many times and was successful. This was the first encounter I had where Odin stuck and never complete it flashing.
Try things like reinstalling the drivers, another pc, another usb cable etc.
Thanks. Will try that and also i will try this [ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11) since on FAQ #4 seem to be in my case. But if members had other recommendation, please post. thx in advance

Getting stuck on the factory.fs is pretty common here. You might try charging for a bit to see if you can get it to show signs of life. And that link up there^^^(UCKD5 Stock+Root+3e) has worked for me when gtg's didn't. Read the instructions for it carefully as you don't have to check as many boxes. You only need to load the file into the PDA slot. Also if you didn't have the drivers installed your phone wouldn't show up, so that's not your problem (although you could try re-installing them for **** and giggles)...
If THAT doesn't work try Adam's Heimdall one click HERE
If all else fails try a different PC. I had to and it worked like a charm.
Good Luck

Some times just trying a different USB port on the same computer will help to. Not sure why but on my laptop the USB port on the right my Captivate did not like for flashing but the one on the left side always worked right.
Thank you all for helping me out. My infuse is now back in business. I use [ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11) but this one got my phone to always boot in recovery mode no matter what i did. So i decide to try Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install [2.3.6] (FOR AT&T USERS) and then flash LinuxBozo's Defuse 1.5 kernel. Successfully flash it . However after using Heimdall One-Click, ODIN did not see my phone when it's in download mode. Besides that, everything went well.

What have you tried so far to get in to Download mode?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
ok so i had paranoid android v1.5 and i wanted to update it so i came here and updated to v 2 i believe what ever the newest version of it thats out. ok well i moved the zip folder along with gapps zip folder over the sd card 3 button comboed it to recovery and installed zip from sd card wiped dalviche cache and all it said everything was go i rebooted and it went directly back to recovery this time it updated my cmw to v6 something all looked ok except it didnt boot up so i tried to install again and after that everything went black ... it took me 2 hrs to figure out how to get it to the samsung boot loop screen.. download mode not working also not my computer isnt picking up right it keeps failing...
Now for everyone else they say remove battery wait 2 mins. plug usb into pc then into phone and quickly install battery while holding volume up and down. i usually hold the power button plus volume buttons down then plug in usb and insert battery and then release power to get recovery .\
now i dont have recovery or download mode and for me to get the samsung boot loop i have to use this combo
everything out of the phone battery sim card sdcard everything... plug usb into pc then hold volume down (only) plug in usb and insert battery
and ill get bootloop.
if i hold all three buttons my phone stays black but the pc still shows up that the usb is still not good.... is this a brick i can come back from???!!
o and ive installed kies about 40 times and when i check in my device manager i get the unknown device i uninstall that . what should my device manager look like for a windows 7
also if i unplug everything and remove everything from the phone all i have to do is plug in the usb to the pc and it gets the malfunction error like it always does except it shouldnt be powering on.. unless that the charger failing to iniciate
HOW DO I FIX THIS????!!
I think to get to download mode you don't actually press all three buttons.
pull battery
hold down volume buttons
insert usb
inserb battery
download should start up.
okie dokie
okay well i waited 12 hr.s and tried again and i got it into download mode i downloaded the return to stock odin package uclb3 stock root
flashed it no problems with the flash now it wont read sims card also when i power the phone down to reboot it wont power up...it flashes the little loading circle really fast and then nothing.. download mode is easy to get in and ive tried flashing like 4 times now.. one of those times the sims card was readable but the phone would not reboot. idk whats going on
ugh its late...
okay after gtg unbrick flash and a factory reset i now have signal!!! now let me try to power down and reboot.... i hope it works lol,
holy wtf.....
okay well that was another fail.... everything seems to work fine except rebooting the phone..... now when i go into heimdall suite and run zadig to reinstall deivce driver and then find device and then print pit file it reboots the phone and everything seems fine.. idk whats going on....
Okay i fixed it. Im getting better at trouble shooting. Lol
