Hey guys and gals. I have a problem. I was trying to flash a Tom and I have bricked my phone. I can still get into download mode by using a jig. But any time I try to load a Tom I get a blackish red screen and it just stays there.
I've tried eclare froyo and gingerbread one click installs and all with the same results. It happened when I tried installing serindipity 7. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try heimdall one-click KB2. It should work fine. just flash once, then check the flash bootloaders button to flash again with repartitioning and bootloaders.
Ok. Ill try and find that tomorrow when I can get on my PC. Ill let you know how it goes. Thank you.

I was replacing the stock recovery file with Krylon's Modded Recovery Binary.
I deleted the stock recovery file in /system/bin (copyed it to external sd) after pasteing the Modded Recovery Binary in /system/bin.
I had the CWM 3 file already copied to my external sd card
I turned off my phone to reboot it and the phone is now stuck on the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy S 4g logo. All my soft keys are lit up too.
Is my phone bricked? How do i get into download mode? What can i do to fix this?
Im Very noob and going to have a "pro" fix if it can be.

Hold both volume keys and then plug the usb from the computer to your phone to access download mode. If it doesn't work u can buy a unbrick jig from ebay. If you get into download mode using volume keys then flash back to stock. Phone should be turned off if trying to put into download mode

Do I have a soft brick or a hard brick?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA Premium App
You have a soft brick. This should be fixable getting into DOWNLOAD MODE and using ODIN. Do a few searches for both. A JIG may be necessary to obtain download mode as well. Search all topics I have listed in all CAPS and you should be good to go! PM me if you have any questions...
same thing happened to me, all I did was I downloaded whitehawkx KD1 kernel which is perfect because your phone will already be rooted and has the file so you could put CWM3, after you download it get into download mode and flash with odin, if you need any more help please let me know

Thanks for the good news. I feel much better knowing what needs to be done. I will search your topics. I have been reading everything I can on this subject. I probably should have done that before I made this post. It's my first brick and I was desperate for info.
I'm going to try to fix it after 2pm (with help)...I'm in work and its the longest day of my life today. Lol.
If I need to PM you I will for sure.
Thank you VERY MUCH for all your help!

If I need help I will let you know.

I'm very noob but there are people who will help you on here for sure.
I had a "soft brick". Phone stuck on Samsung galaxy s 4g splash screen with my soft keys lit up too. I searched and read in this forum. I went to our 4g development section and found a post called Noobs guide to Odin.
From that post I downloaded the samsung drivers I needed for the pc I was using (32 bit in my case), downloaded Odin 1.7 and then downloaded krylon360 stock/root rom.
I ran Odin, got my phone into download mode and then flashed the rom with no problems.
I'm new and in work so can't be too much help. Everything you need to know has been talked about on our forum. People will help you. Good luck!...
Maybe you should post your own topic in this GENERAL section to let people know you are bricked. Put I'm bricked in the subject line. A fresh topic might get peoples attention faster. Like I said I'm new.

That screen is basically download mode. Use Heimdall or Odin to flash a rom back on there.

Windows can be funny sometimes so make sure you plug it into the same USB port as before.
Barring that, I think you can use Heimdall for the Mac.

ok so Im going to install the drivers on windows again then try to put it in download mode? right sorry im a noob
It may not say it's in download mode. If you still see the computer icon, it's in download mode. The heimedall may be the best route for this issue. Just flash and you'll see the status bar and the rest details of what it's doing? I no need to worry about getting in flash mode. Just make sure you have the drivers installed.

Could have been an app you installed preventing it from booting properly, try to make a nandroid of your current rom then restore back to your original rom and let us know if it boots. If it does, it's most likely something on your rom. If it still doesn't boot that's more of a hardware issue.
Did you properly wipe, did you install a rom, you have to tell more information then just saying it wont boot could be anything why it wont boot answer what you did before you got to the point you are in now and then we can help.

You might want to tell people what the issue was and how you fixed it. Simply saying, "it's fixed," doesn't help people.

rainbows...no bootloaders
flash again; after flash, bootloader options is available. flash bootloaders
But my PC doesn't even recognize my phone anymore

the colors you see are due to running gingerbread on the infuse without boot loaders.
to get boot loaders, either use the heimdall packages or use odin and flash one of the GB leaks.
here's how to get to download mode:

As Erik said, if rebooting did not work, flashing entropy's lastest kernel again may fix this problem.

Camera not working
What camera app are you using? The default?
If so, try another app like UCam or Camera Fun and see if it works.
I've had the default video player not work and a third party app work just fine.
Good luck.
So I went from red clocks work mod to blue clocks work mod. My data connection did not work so I went back to an old rom(red cwm). My phone was semi bricked but I was still able to boot to recovery. Since I was tired I said I'll do it another day. Now I can't boot into recovery mode. Can anyone please please help me!
