[Q] my screw ups :) - Samsung Infuse 4G

i think (well.. im pretty sure. Well.. mostly sure..) i have screwed myself bad this time...
last night i was using odin to flash to stock. got it ready and ran it while i ate dinner (Meh nothing will happen. I'll be okay.) i came back and it was still on Modem.BIN and it had very little left (the green bar almost filled the whole thing) so i thought it would take like another 30 seconds max so i checked facebook. well 15 minutes later i remembered my phone. That was still on the Modem.BIN file. "well balls... maybe unplug it and retry??? :/" unpluged it and went to put it into download mode. It boots into 3e recovery. "balls well lets boot up and shut it off and try again!" as it boots up it vibrates. Then force quits something. (i didnt get a notification) then force quits again 2-3 seconds later. and keeps force quitting.
Thats what happened here what i know.
I dont have a radio/modem file so i cant connect. (useful phone eh?)
when its rooted it will force quit something in the background CONSTANTLY
I cant put it into Download mode from the 3 button method.
A recent developement it My SuperOneClick is not responding (GTG_ultimate_unbrick) when i go to root. (im working on this one.)
What should i do? I want it back stock working so i can root and flash a new ROM (and probably mess it up again!) what should i do?

You said can't go into download with three button? You need to pull battery put back in and hold the volume buttons while plugging in USB cable to go to download mode no three buttons hope it helps

fully bricked captivate? share stories here!

i bricked my captivate. fully bricked.dead. gone. haha it was all my fault though. i flashed back to stock and wanted to see if there was an update OTA. there was so i downloaded it. forgetting that i always have the update.zip form clockworkmod (so i dont have to keep rooting to flash a rom) on the root of my sd card, the update.zip from the download went somewhere. i dont know where it went. so the message popped up saying do i want to update now so i did. it booted into this software update screen. halfway through the process it said 'installation aborted. going to reboot . so the phone shut off and never came on again because it was installing the clockworkmod file. not to mad tho. haha did it right on the day my contract expired. now im getting the inspire
post you stories here!
I doubt its bricked, make a usb jig to bring it back to life.
nah just gone. tried putting it on the charger. battery gets hot. tried jig. nothing. not even the capacitive buttons light up
i'll buy it off you for 10 dollars
I had infinite loop for an hour, so my battery died pretty much and i didnt notice that...I was using one click odin to flash to stock..and it turned green...i pulled everything out....again tried in download mode and now it turned pink...so again I pulled everything and tried to put it in download mode....Dead...complete dead...tried everything I could....

ugh thats a day killer! once my battery died right before starting odin. i just popped in my dads battery and finished it. scary though
I too received the green screen when flashing...Fortunately I can get to the download mode use a jig, although I cannot do anything from there. My computer recognizes the phone but I get no response when trying to flash the firmware.

I second that idea.
Somehow I've managed to fully brick my phone more than ten times!! Always came back to life with dl mode or jig but mostly persistence, gotta keep trying the jig and volume up down buttons followed by endless connecting and disconnecting USB cables to get it to take.

Are you sure???
That's not full brick... Full brick won't go into download mode. It will just sit therea dn do nothing. Not even get hot when you put it on the charger.
Listen guys... I need a for-real bricked captivate. Black screen, won't do anything at all for testing... This is why.. If you have a brick, please PM me. I'll return it after testing, hopefully in a working condition.
That "brick" in the video, that's a soft brick. it's not a full, hard brick.
I'm trying to NOT black-screen hard-brick my own phone... If you have one around which is bricked, please let me know and I'll try to fix it. I need one for testing before I go bricking my extra phone for real

This happend to me as well. Battery died during Odin. Completely black screen. Wouldn't charge and would get hot while plugged in.
****, i guess i just fully bricked mine >_> was updating to 2.2 via kies mini and it froze on 46% of installation because it doesn't work on win x64. Went to download mode through 3 button, tried Odin and it ****ing failed on me. Now this piece of **** won't even turn on. Gonna try a jig, but i read multiple times on multiple places that it won't work if the phone doesn't even turn the screen on, so i guess i'm ****ed.
Language. Please watch your language. One every so often is not too bad, but that's WAY 2 much for one post. Just letting you know before a mod sees it.

Everything seems like it was going fine Odin says successful, but when it was supposed to restart. It never turned back on. Now the screen never turns on when I try to power on, charge, or use my JIG.

I belive my G2X bricked its self :-(

Hello, i belive this is my first post but i been reading up on these forums and find them very helpfull. i did a search on here and google with my issue and found no help. last night i was looking through my contacts and my phone just froze. i waited a min or two and still froze. so i pulled the battery out to shut it off. now the phone is dead...it wont turn on, it wont charge when i plug it in the charger, i also tried pressing the volume and power buttons to do a factory reset with no luck.
if anyone can help, i would really appreciate it.
thank you
BTW: i belive tmobile return time is 14 days...so i cant return it to them since its like day 34...just my luck lol
You should be able to swap it out no matter what, your warranty is still in place. Just bring it to the store and they should either give you another one the same day or order you one man.

Did you press the volume down and the power button(not both volume buttons) until you see the screen with the box and android? Also try pulling battery and leaving it out for at least a minute or two. Have you rooted the phone?Where you on a custom rom? With more information furnished I am sure the talented people on this forum can be of more help.

I would try putting the vol down and power together again (you can press the vol button and then press the power and hold both for at least a minute) to see if you get any response. If not, contact TMo on the phone and you will have a replacement unit in a few days.
Question - when you plug it into the charger, do you see a battery charging screen come up? One unknown is the battery.
You might go to a TMo store and see if they will let you plug the battery from their demo in yours and see if it will respond to the above. If it does, it is your battery (you should also be able to get that under warranty).
If not - it is your phone - then do the above.
If your PC is not recognizing the device when you plug in then you are pretty much screwed... sorry man...
he sd he just tryed doing a factory reset which is vol up n power thats y i asked if he put recovery on there using nvflash cuz if not vol down n power wont work idk man could be a battery dwf weird n do what jhaste sd if it recognizes it ur good if not idk
thanks for your help everyone.
to answer some questions
1. i did not do nv flash
2.when i plug it in the charger i dont get a charging indicator or screen.
my girlfriend has the same phone as me...so when i get home today i will swap the battery to see if its the issue. i did call tmobile and they said if the battery swap dosnt do anything that i can get a replacement under warranty. good new i guess
im just worried i will get one with bugs lol ( like random shut downs, screen bleed, and gps issues) cause mine has been flawless...untill this lol

well seeing as you did not use nvflash, when you get home try flashing clockworkmond recovery using the nvflash method... Ive got a feeling that when you pull the battery, hold your volume buttons down and plug in the usb cord that it will perk up

is this guide what i need?
androidtotal.com/install-clockworkmod-recovery-lg-g2x-t-mobile-nvflasher
looks like a complete guide. also will make my phone stock again or will it have something else? i guess i should google what clockworkmod is
yea dude im with jhaste on this one i mean that is weird shouldnt have dun that on stock rom thats y 50% of me says its battery but dude if u do hook it up to the computer n u get life ur good then u need to do the nvflash method install recovery n flash a rom theres even an image for the stock rom if u like that one that much. its all in development part of forum. so worst case scenario bro u could do that i think ull be aight n if u do end up takin it back under warranty n u get a ****ty one man that sounds so bad u should always get a good one, but neways if u get one that has bad screen bleed or something quirky call tmobile again u have a yr warranty just dont drop it scratch it or dunk it in water lol n ur warranty should be good n dude dont worry bout screen bleed i have it a lil n i can give two ****s it dont bother me its common with newer lcds i mean if u have it bad n can notice it when doing daily things with ur phone then by all means take it back if that aint the case then dont worry bout it cuz 99% of the time ull get the same result if u take it back
its under development and u wana use the ext4 version its the newest tgagunman has a nice easy guide i myself dont know how to put links up so if someone could

[Q] How to wipe data, with a broken unable to see screen?

Long story short, party at my house, kid drinks too much, throws my phone across the room (Skyrocket I-727 obviously) 2 weeks after I had it and boom spider webs the screen. Now I can sell it, but I need to wipe the data
Unfortunately I can't see the screen. It turns on and you can hear it still works, just needs a new screen but I really don't want to spend the $180 on a brand new screen (lowest price I found)
I heard there was a way and searched for hours on google and here. Is there any way to wipe the data without actually seeing the screen?
Thanks!
Do a battery pull, and then turn phone on holding down volume down. Wait a few minutes and then connect usb to phone and computer. Press volume up, and run Odin. it should show phone is connected. Flash complete stock image at&t or Rogers, and bobs ur uncle

Do I just hold the down volume button to turn it back on after the battery pull or the power on button too? I can't hear it turn on with the volume button, but when I press the power button you can hear it turn on

Phone is fully charged, and when I battery pull and try to turn it on using the down volume button nothing.....then I try the power button it turns on just fine.
Step 1 isn't working :/
Think it turned on....not sure. And not sure if I downloaded the right odin. Ah, this is confusing
do a battery pull then stick your jig in and wait 5 seconds then plug it into odin and see if that works

Yes that Odin will work... pull battery insert battery plug USB into PC open Odin hold both volume up and volume down then plug USB into phone wait about 10 secs then hit volume up button... Odin should put yellow box in Odin com section..

Just wondering because of your post: Is your phone rooted?
If you happened to leave USB debugging checked just turn the phone on and wait for it to boot and then use adb to reboot into download mode.
If you don't have the sdk set up you can download it and then go wherever you install it to, open the tools folder and ctrl+right click mouse open cmd prompt here. Type adb devices to verify it sees your phone and if it does type adb reboot download. That will put your phone in download mode.
^^^^^ that is why I leave debugging enabled at all times. Gives you a failsafe should your screen take a crap on you.

Just a thought and not sure if this will work but try using a mhl, toggle connect it to your tv then you can navigate through the system.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Nevermind if the touch screen is broken then you can really navigate.... Sorry
What about hooking the phone up to the computer and then using the SDK to take screen captures of the phone. That way you can at least see what screen is pulled up on the phone..
But again, is the phone rooted? Or is it stock?
For Future refrence,
next time some stupid retard throws your phone AT ALL. First give him a knuckle sandwich, then make him buy ya a new phone.
Personally, i would kicked the hell out of him in front of everyone, then kicked his ass every day until he bought me a new one. and that is NO lie. I dont deal with assholes like that.
Some kids, have the nerve i tell ya, toss a cell phone across the room.

[Q] Infuse Won't Power Up.

I recently downloaded SD Maid Pro, cleaned out all the double files and now the Infuse just blinks Samsung until it dies. Can't get it to go into download mode or anything else. It just blinks Samsung til it dies. I plug in the charger and it just shows the starburst loading emblem. Can't turn it on, once I unplug the charger, it'll show Samsung and then just blink. Pulled the battery, put it back in.. automatically Samsung comes up and just blinks. Tried everything. I think it's done. Any suggestions?
-Rob
Can you tell me step by step how you are trying to get into download mode...maybe you might be doing something wrong...also even if the screen goes blank after doing steps for download mode try and see if Odin/heimdal recognize it
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Odin won't recognize it. I pulled the battery. Put it back in. Before I can plug in the usb cable it's flashing the Samsung screen.
Ok, try this
1) Pull battery
2) hold volume up + down
3) plug USB into phone/pc with Odin or heimdal running
4) place battery in
See if it boots into download mode that way

Nope, Just shows the starburst loading icon blinking like before.
Hmmm...well, if your not too sketched out and you pay for shipping, ill take a look at it and try to fix it...this is just an option and I understand if you don't wanna do that option ad I am a stranger and these phones ate expensive...
Can you check the power button...make sure its not stuck down...helped a guy not too long ago who had a similar problem only to find out his power button was stuck down

Yes, i've tried almost everything to get in download mode
download modes
nothing works it's like my power button is stuck, but it looks fine
M8, im dealing with the same situation with a couple motherboards. If im able to find a solution for that i will let you know. Ive done more than you have because i have even applied unbrickable mod to one of those two mobos with no luck. Pretty much same thing. The resurrector recognizes it but before it can resurrect the phone it will dissappear for good. So im starting to think it could be a damaged or corrupted file on the very lower levels of the infuse. But, at the same time, it maybe some hardware failure since i think unbrickable mod basically goes to the lowest level on the phone. Its a shame, but i have seen this many times on infuse phones. Never had to deal with that myself though....
Possible fix
My son brought me his phone last night with this same problem. I was not in the best mood to deal with it so made him, a teenager, go without a phone for a whole night....yeah dad of the year here. LOL. Anyway, I started working on it this morning and tried just about everyting I could think of until it thought of the Handyman's#! rule....If it doesnt work just bang on it. I took phone and with battery in it and cover on slapped it against my knee on the back cover in area where camera is. Dont try to break it just give it a good smack. Right after that it booted up and is just fine. LOL. I know it isnt the most scientific way to fix it...but it works for me and my son has his phone back. I hope this will help the rest of you out until we have a more defined solution.

[Q] (SOLVED) Bricked/Bootloop weird

Hey guys,
I got an infuse from a friend. When she gave it to me it was all stock and functional minus the fact that it would bootloop. When you would turn it on it would show samsung, turn off, samsung, turn off... About 3 seconds per on time. It would do this whenever it had the battery in or was plugged in. At first I was able to get it into download and then flash stock OEM. This fixed the problem, then I got into recovery and flashed a custom rom. All of this worked fine. Here's the problem
I tried restoring to the stock that I got the phone to before the custom rom was installed. This took 25 seconds and I knew something must have been wrong but I rebooted anyway. When rebooting I was faced with my original issues up above. Unfortunately its rebooting too quickly to put it into download mod. By the time I press the volume buttons and insert the usb it already boots and then starts over. If I do it quickly enough it goes to charge and bootloops to charge. The problem is that the phone bootloops whenever the battery is in. I don't have to press power for it to start.
Pretty frustrated and really would like some help. Thanks
EDIT: I ****ING FIXED IT!!! I swear this isn't a joke... I was reading a forum that had this problem and they all were saying they got angry and threw it/hit their phone and it booted up. Sitting there I eventually started entertaining the idea. I did a quick survey of the library I am in and... smacked it on my fist. THEN THE ****ING THING BOOTED UP!! What the hell!! SO excited. If it happens again, most efficient way is to drop the device on the top off the phone on a carpeted floor from about 2 feet

Am I looking for a replacement or what? Thanks for the speedy reply
psal may be on to something however it sounds like you are not trying download mode correctly - if you had the battery pulled and the usb disconnected it could not be rebooting.
Edit: If the power button is sticking, most likely no need to replace- here is a video of how to replace the screen, not what you are doing but the point is it shows how to take the phone apart so that you can clean the power button. Hope this helps : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WS5I0SpL6c

It reboots only when I put the battery in. So the moment I put the battery in to try and get it into recovery it starts booting immediately. It doesn't give me enough time to actually press volume up and down and then insert usb. If i do it fast enough it just boots to charging mode and boot loops to that instead of the samsung splash
Edit: I have already taken apart the phone. Not really sure what I should clean. It looks completely fine and acts similarly to the volume buttons. How would you recommend I clean it?

I am not so sure that this is a hardware issue. Why would the problem disappear when I flash the OEM but then return everytime I restore to the faulty stock. I already took apart and the power button seems pristine.
With this extra info, it is pointing more toward a sticking power button with a hardware issue still something to consider... have you tried pulling battery, install usb, hold both volume buttons (no power button) and while continuing to hold vol buttons insert the battery ?
Edit: If the issue is indeed in the faulty rom, delete it and use something different.

Not sure how I would delete the rom because I cannot boot the phone, boot to recovery, or boot to download. I did try having the usb in, holding volume and then putting in battery. It didn't work. Do you think a jig would work? Thanks
Yes, I think for such a small price it is worth a shot- best of luck !!
It would also be worth mentioning to be certain you have a good usb cable as well as a good usb port on the puter.

Hey guys,
I got an infuse from a friend. When she gave it to me it was all stock and functional minus the fact that it would bootloop. When you would turn it on it would show samsung, turn off, samsung, turn off... About 3 seconds per on time. It would do this whenever it had the battery in or was plugged in. At first I was able to get it into download and then flash stock OEM. This fixed the problem, then I got into recovery and flashed a custom rom. All of this worked fine. Here's the problem
I tried restoring to the stock that I got the phone to before the custom rom was installed. This took 25 seconds and I knew something must have been wrong but I rebooted anyway. When rebooting I was faced with my original issues up above. Unfortunately its rebooting too quickly to put it into download mod. By the time I press the volume buttons and insert the usb it already boots and then starts over. If I do it quickly enough it goes to charge and bootloops to charge. The problem is that the phone bootloops whenever the battery is in. I don't have to press power for it to start.
Pretty frustrated and really would like some help. Thanks

Then open kies mini connect your phone on kies update and upgrade to the newest GB version.
At this point u are on a stock if u want root try this:

I can't do this because in order to go to download mode the phone needs to be off. The moment I insert the battery it automatically starts bootlooping
Pony and psal are prolly right. Try fixing your power button.
