that question doesn't matter, we know the answer already. thats just a waste of posts waiting for that answer and THEN giving the solution...
OP you will need to use the full version of odin with a different firmware package as newer build phones don't accept jf6 and just bootloop.
at the very bottom of the odin one click jf6 thread are links to 2 such packages.
get in download mode and flash one of those and it will boot.
Thanks but I am having a problem getting into download mode. I just can't see mto get it.
yank battery, open odin, plug in phone, hold both volume buttons, insert usb while still holding volume buttons.
if that doesn't work you will probably need to make/buy a usb download mode jig.
Jig, jig, jig

i think i bricked my phone..i was trying to flash CM7 so first i went to stock 2.1 for safety and then by mistake i flashed a 2.2 kernel the phone stuck at atnt screen.luckily i was able to get to recovery screen,so next i tried to follow CM7 instructions first i flashed efs backup in recovery and i rebooted to download mode from recovery itself coz i wasnt able to go to download mode directly.and when i selected the kernel and flashed it said "FAIL"..i removed the usb and connected again it still said fail..i thought that i need to go to download mode again so i removed battery and now whatever i do i get a screen with "phone ! pc" i tried so many things searching in this forum but nothing worked for me..someone please help me please please!!!
Sounds like you need a jig

The instructions clearly say that you're supposed to start from a custom rom and a kernel that has cwm. If you don't know what you're doing don't even attempt to flash.
As for a fix, it looks like jig time.

will jig definitely work? ill try to make one using the method posted here in forum..actually i already ordered it yesterday it may take a month before it reaches me i have no patience...!!
So, I got soft bricked. I tried to odin back to stock but ive tried every three button combo to get back in to download mode with nothing working. I try pulling battery then holding both vol keys then inserting battery and then plugging in usb cable while its plugged into the computer and odin is running. Ive tried every other variation of this as well. I have no idea what to do next, please help. Plugging in the USB after holding the keys only brings up the SAMSUNG screen. I can three button into 3e recovery but of course that is no help. Please help

did you tried a different usb port on the computer or a different computer?

I tried different computers, cords, drivers, everything. I even tried a different battery. Would a USB jig work?

possible. A jig would force your phone into DL mode.
I tried to help a few user in the past when they had a continuous power loop, samsung logo and reboot. over and over again.
It was later determined to be hardware.
If you are not able to get it into DL mode, chances are the store tech wont be able to either...you might be able to warranty thru samsung or att for hardware failure
Download mode is what I need to save me, I could unbrick to stock and go from there right?

yes..if you can get into DL mode:
android shoveling dirt or phone triangle with "!"
then you can flash with odin or heimdall..I usually use the heimdall 1 click method.
the important thing is use whatever you're comfortable with.
Sound like what happened to me and im waiting for my next indie now, warranty exchange of course

Don't give up. As long as are able to see something on the screen, you should be able to get it back to its feet. This series of phones are kinda hard to brick.

I've had mine to the point where it wouldn't display anything, just kept trying to put it in download mode and useOdin or the other popular UN bricking software (don't remember the name but it's on here) had to reinstall the boot loader also and bam fixed
Or you can buy a USB jig which if I'm understanding correctly is supposed to fix your exact issue , you can get them for $2, off Ebay

Then when I tried to flash the cm10 with the gapps jb it boots up the samsung logo then goes straight into cwm-based Recovery v6.0.1.1 I have read previous threads saying to hold vol up and down while cord pluged into pc and plug in battery to get to download mode. I can not get my infuse to go to download mode, it just keeps going to cwm. I have installed kies and hemidall on my pc and I still cannot get to download mode. Is my pc recognizing my phone?

To get to download mode, you have to hold vol. up + vol. down + power, you left out the power button in your process, otherwise your good to go.
EDIT: Sorry - was on 4 threads, a phone call, and a personal email at the same time - I'll be more careful next time !!

I flashed it with out the sd card the first time and I have yet to put it back in since I have been having this problem. Also I just tried holding down both vol up & down buttons while holding the power, cord plugged to pc and then putting in the battery. All im getting is the samsung logo on for a few seconds off and then repeats that same sequence. Having bad luck here!
Try the way I said to download with the battery pull.

I was having issues with battery drain with the 8/11 mtd cm10 so used this to get back to stock. Then flashed entropy kernel that is linked in that thread with sgs kernel flasher.

Thats my problem... I can not get my phone to go into download mode... I thought maybe one of the buttons isnt working but I can scroll up and down on the screen and select things so I guess their all working. I tried getting to download with kies and heimdall both up and still no luck... Is my phone bricked or is it somehow stuck in cwm?

Yes your right... It is strange! And I dont see any other way to get into download mode... I dont see may post where a person cant get to it but I cannot get download mode on my phone for some odd reason.
I've got the same problem, I've tried several different cables, computers, really frustrating
OK- you are getting good help here and I apologize for my incorrect earlier post as I was too preoccupied.
Andros11's instructions for download mode are correct. Kies, has been known to cause issues. As long as you have the phone drivers on your computer, you should uninstall Kies. You can get the drivers again if need be on Bigjoe's ISET.
I pull battery, connect usb then hold vol +/- and insert battery, do not let go of the 2 volume buttons until you see the download screen menu, at which time you will choose volume up.That is it- you should be in download mode. If you are wanting to use Heimdall, bring it up on your computer- there will be a box that after a few seconds will say connected- hit flash and wait for process to finish, about 10-15 seconds. You should be back to stock at that point. If you wish to go back to a custom ROM from there, you need to flash Entropy's Daily Driver. This is the Heimdall package I use and the daily driver is in post 2.

Good luck !
EDIT: Here is a video that may help - in it, they check the flash bootloader box, I would not suggest that the first time, only do this if you get a "rainbow" effect when in recovery mode, and then use great caution as a mis-flash of bootloaders will brick the phone.

Trying to understand what is killing my battery especially when I don't use Skype. never did.

Anyhow, I'm not sure why OP phone is not going into DL mode. It should.
DOWNLOAD MODE
Maybe USB connector on phone is dirty. Possible need a different data cord. Maybe try a different battery.
Use a jig if you have one.
However, since you mentioned, Pony. OP's solution would be to flash a cwm-gb kernel like zen or entropy - or flash zen tool kit and flash one of the gb kernel. Power off. Reboot and flash gb kernel again. This may break cmw 6.xxx or 5.xxx recovery loop. Then wipe and start over.

no. the phone's dl mode is independent of your pc drivers. connecting the phone after it goes into dl mode, however, will depend on pc drivers

I followed the instructions perfectly for WhiteHawkx Valhalla when I was at the restart boot-loader section my phone turned into rainbow crack,

When I restarted my phone manually my phone stopped showing the rainbow crack and showed the normal splash screen (I was foolishly optimistic) my phone is now stuck at the t mobile splash screen and I haven't been able to get it back into DL mode...
Please tell me there is something I can do other than shop for a new phone.

I have been unable to get into recovery so far...
I have tried all of the alternate methods except ADB mode which I don't think i can because the phone wont go past the galaxy S 4g exclusively from t mobile splash screen.
if there is a trick for the ADB method please let me know cause if something is going to work at this point i think that's it.
Well there is hope, your phone is still turning on.
You could see if abd recognizes your phone if you have it. (usually the first things I do is make sure debugging is on when I change things over)
If you know someone with a jig that would be the easiest way but it is 1am.
