I have never even seen android until about a month ago. BUT, I want to root the phone.
I have followed the instructions from copperhed's nov 10th post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
Downloaded all the files in Copperhed's post, put Superuser on to the EXTERNAL sd card.
I have also installed Apkinstall AndroZip Rom Manager BusyBox and Titanium Backup AND Clockworkmod is on my INTERNAL sd
The p.c. recognizes the phone, IF...the phone is on when I connect the USB cable, but if I remove the battery, hold the vol+ and vol- then plug in the USB, the p.c. does not. and in Odin, the i.d. com is blank.
If the phone is on when I connect the USB, there is a yellow box with .0:[com10]
I read that if you want to download you need to turn the phone off, press and hold vol- + Home + Power...? Doing that, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation
warning about custom OS and if I want to continue press vol+ ????
If the phone is on, & I connect the USB, and click Start in Odin this is what I see

I downloaded Odin 1.8, USB Drivers, clockworkmod, and the superuser files
I renamed superuser.zip to superuser and put in on the external sd card (still un-zipped)
Opened Odin, went to PDA, found the .tar files In Odin I selected; auto reboot, F. reset time and PDA
removed the battery, pressed and held vol- and vol+ WHILE I connected USB Felt the phone buzz, got a popup on P.C. saying USB device not recognized.
The only thing that I notice on the phone, is that the Green Battery gets displayed of a couple of seconds?
How long should I be pressing the vol buttons??

Well unless the Skyrocket is different.....you should have the battery in. You are only doing a battery pull before getting into download mode.
And for the best driver install you should just install Kies, I have had a ton of driver issues any time I have installed them separately.

Yup, debugging is ticked, and I am thinking that the phone is going into download mode...after removing bat. vol -+ connecting USB the phone vibrates and when I release the vol buttons, I get the message USB device not recognized. After I disconnect the USB, I have to remove and reinstall the battery again before the phone will turn on...so, Does that mean that the phone WAS, in download mode?
I'll try again with just the vol- and see what happens?

it all started when i wanted to try the Stock Deodexed T959VUVKG4 with Root, and i went to the red recovery i had, voodo recovery, and i did all the unmount, mount, and all that good stuff.I flahsed the room waiting for the process to finish but i got stock on the galaxy logo. when i went back to the post, i read that recovery didnt work for some reason, so i decided it was time for me to restore my phone using odin, but my pc doesnt recognize my phone anymore, whenever i plug in the cable to the pc, its like nothing has happened, i have installed all of the usb drivers ive seen on the web, but nothing seems to work, any suggestions???/
Did you forget to disable voodoo in CWM and then reboot to un-convert the file system before you started flashing?
to get into download mode, are you sure you are holding both volume up/down buttons down while you plug in the usb?
the kg4 doesnt have the bootloaders, so you should be able to get into download mode using the three button combo.
i disabled voodo lagfix but i did not reboot the phone instead i flashed the room right after. and i am holding both volume up/down buttons down while i plug in the usb and i see the download pictures and everything
and what do i do if my pc doesnt recognize my phone???

I had an issue where my pc would not recognize my phone in download mode after flashing the original 2.3.4 posted by chadster. I finally got it to recognize it by installing all the drivers used with heimdell. Hope that helps.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
ive tried that but the only driver that my pc recognizes is my wireless driver.thanks for the help everybody.
ok. drivers are sometimes a problem. restart the computer and then reinstall the drivers. then plug your phone into a different usb port from what you had it and go into download mode. let me know if that works.
i will try again with Heimdall to see if it works
Can you try taking the battery out for 30secs open odin plug the usb in the phone hold vol up and down then slap the battery in while still holding keep holding it and if a com sign comes up in odin flash it even if screens blank
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
it doesnt work
i still have the same problem with the usb drivers, does anybody know how to fix it?
Try uninstalling all your phone's usb drivers, then go to the device manager in system properties, right click on your USB controller, and uninstall the device. Then reboot your pc, and let windows find and reinstall the USB controller. Then reinstall the samsung usb drivers, and see if that works.
I had the same issue once.
I had the same issue before and was able to fix it by rebooting the phone and letting GB boot up. I then turned on debugging mode and plugged the phone into the pc. I then installed the hemi drivers and windows installed the device and everything worked after that. From what I've found, after you flash GB, sometimes it wont recognize the device anymore, so putting the phone into debug mode after booting seems to force it to use the correct drivers. Hope this helps!
I'd try the fevers then hold up and down and put USB cord in

If I'm not mistaken, the phone -!- PC screen is the equivalent of download mode. I'd unplug your phone, restart Odin, plug phone back in and go from there. I'll defer if someone has a more detailed explanation though

leave the power button alone
power down
hold in volume buttons
insert USB
If you managed to get the GB bootloaders in place (assuming I9000), the download mode key combo is to hold Vol- and Power. If you're still on Eclair/Froyo bootloaders, hold Vol-/Vol+ (with power off), then insert the USB cable.

Unplug your phone, pull your battery for 2+ min. Then open Odin, plug in your USB, press and hold the vol up and vol down, while holding them down, put your battery in. You should see a big triangle with the Android guy . That is Download mode

Reboot your computer
What OS are you running?
Let's run down a quick checklist of things to make sure that you're putting yourself in the best possible place for success:
1. Unplug any cables you have plugged in right now, Turn off ODIN, remove the battery, and reboot your computer.
2. Boot up your computer, let it fully boot and settle. Once it's fully settled, double-check to make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed for the Captivate (and that's its for the correct version of Windows - x86 or x64).
3. Assuming the drivers are present and correct, start up ODIN (You might try the One-Click to Stock, as it will take you back to a stock state). Let it sit for right now.
4. Plug your USB cable into a port that connects directly to the motherboard (but not to your phone just yet). On a desktop, it will be on the back of the machine. On a laptop, you may have to find it by trial and error.
5. Reinsert the battery. Hold Vol+/Vol-, and then insert your USB cable. This should put you in download mode. If not, pull the cable, remove the battery, reinsert the battery, and hold Vol- and power until download mode appears, then insert the USB cable.
6. Assuming you are in download mode, and the cable is inserted, check to see if ODIN recognized the phone. If not, try a different USB port on the computer. You may have to reboot your computer between trials.
7. If ODIN still won't recognize the phone, you may need to look into using Heimdall to flash.
Post back if you have questions.

I thought I remember seeing somewhere a ways back that from this alternate d/l screen Odin may not recognize the phone, but that flashing Odin package would work anyway.
Pretty sure I saw that...but at this point, can't hurt to try. Otherwise jig should get you there.

Power it down. Hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power keys down. Don't let them go. When the phone shows the Galaxy S screen, then you see that screen get a little bit brighter, only let go of the Power key. Hold Volume Up & Volume Down until you see the recovery screen.
I think all you really need to do is get it back into download mode and either reflash KJ6 with ODIN or use one of the one-click ROMs by bhundven.

No, the phone!triangle is another screen for "download mode".
You are in download mode.
You must have the cable connected to the pc and phone, then start your phone to this mode. Don't plug in the cable after the phone is already in this mode, or it won't detect it (sometimes...).

if your phone was "hard bricked" you wouldn't see anything on the screen. Your phone would act dead.
Your phone is soft-bricked. I know what you are seeing on your screen.
Trust me. Open the back of your phone. Pull the battery. Count to 10. Plug the battery back in. Put the battery cover back on. Plug the usb cable into your computer. Hold vol+ and vol- and plug the usb cable into your phone. Keep holding vol+ and vol- till you either see the triangle or dl mode. Either way, Heimdall should detect it as being connected. If not, you need to make sure the odin drivers are truely uninstalled and the heimdall driver is installed correctly. I don't use windows, so you'll need to find help elsewhere on that.

Ill get back to you guys soon. Thanks for all the quick responses to my problem, I was super skitzed about it! I really appreciate you guys thanks for your time... ;-)

Here is what happened. I was on CM7 with blue cwm, flashed paranoid android successfully, phone works, calls/mms work, everything works but i get rainbow cwm. In order to fix this i followed the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260, was on step 3 when i installed kies i had the phone connected to the computer via usb. After kies installed i received an error in windows saying the usb device could not be recognized. Since then no matter what i try i can not get the phone into download mode.
Things i have tried:
1- pulling battery, reinserting, holding +- volume while attaching usb cable
2- different usb cable
3- different computers
4- turning on and off debug mode
5- mounting usb via cwm (pretty sure thats what i selected, hard to see with cwm so messed up)
6- uninstalling and re-installing kies+drivers
Any ideas?
***UPDATE: Fixed... installed 2.3.6 rom with red cwm, then installed PA through red cwm. Download mode now works and rainbow cwm fixed, doesn't make 100% sense but it is fixed...
Outstanding pls change title to SOLVED.

Ok so I jumped the gun early last night in assuming it was fixed. As my update states on red cwm and no rainbows, I can get into download mode through cwm (advanced menu). That's as far as I got last night before I went to bed, this morning I went to re-install PA since the phone was stuck at samsung logo (like PA thread says in installation procedures) and i got an installation error. Went into download mode to put today's update on it and found out the PC was unable to recognize the phone. I tried un-installing kies and just installing the infuse drivers, when i connect the phone i get an error saying the device is not recognizable. Tried un-installing the drivers and reinstalling kies+drivers and get the same device is not recognizable error. I also tried different usb cords and on a laptop and get the same device not recognizable on both computers.
Really at a loss now on what to do since the same error is happening on two different computers, something must be wrong with the phone or cwm? Unable to follow un-brick guides since odin won't recognize the phone... Any ideas?

Since you can get into CWM, there is still so much hope for you, it'll just require trying a bunch more stuff but you will figure out out.
IDEAS:
Did you try installing PA again via CWM? If you are still on red CWM, that means you're not on an ICS kernel yet. You want blue CWM. Maybe try installing the PA zip a couple more times after doing a wipe.
If you're still on red CWM, you might be able to still install a GB rom that might be on your SD card to at least get you out of the mess for now.
For Odin/Heimdell, did you try other other USB ports, besides the 1 on each computer? Can you still get into download mode via the battery pull + volume buttons? The USB cord can be plugged into the computer before you put the battery back. I would trust that before the CWM download mode. Do you get the construction sign triangle that says "do not remove target"? That's what you want for Odin or Heimdell.

First off thanks for the help!
I was on blue cwm before I installed PA, it gave me the raindbow cwm so i figured i had froyo bootloaders still, which is what started this whole mess.
I am still on red cwm but I can not install roms off my external zip since the phone isn't seeing it, even when i try to unmount/mount it through cwm. The only rom i have is PA which is on internal sd that my phone does see. Unfortunately every time I try to install that rom now it says "successfully installed" then has an error that starts with assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "aries".
Regarding the other USB ports I have tried multiple ports on multiple computers (3 now), my newer one doesn't have usb 1.0 so I know for a fact I was using a 2.0 port, I have tried ports directly connected to the mobo and ports in the front of the case.
And here is the kicker that's really messing me up and what makes me hit a brick wall with every single post I read about this problem. I do get the yellow construction sign that says 'do not remove target', when i plug my phone into the computer with that sign on the screen the computer immediately says 'USB Device Not Recognized', then 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'. What kills me is I get this error on all 3 machines I have tried so far, with different usb cables. Since im getting this error I can not do odin or heimdall.
Sounds super frustrating. I haven't been stuck like that in a while..
Maybe remove the "solved" from your post and others might have ideas too.
I don't know about your cwm, but on mine i can access my external sd through the option called "install zip from INTERNAL sd card." That is different than the usual "install from zip" option. It's a few options down from the regular "install from zip". It is totally backwards, but let's me install from my external sd.
You are obviously having driver issues...so here is this best thing to do...do not use Odin, just try heimdal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Heimdal does not require drivers from kies or Samsung....in fact it uses its own custom drivers
Run heimdal
Connect phone in download mode
Press flash
It may say it needs to install drivers, just do as it says and follow the onscreen instructions to install the custom drivers
Continue with the flash
***when it finishes do not close the heimdal...leave it open***
Put phone back in download mode and flash again,except this time check the box for flash bootloaders-that will fix rainbows
Download mode:
Pull battery
Put battery back in
Hold volume up+down simutaniously *don't touch that power button*
While holding both volume buttons plug USB into both phone and computer
***also make sure you have java installed or else heimdall might not work***

Just followed your instructions step by step. When the phone boots up in download mode i get a msg on the taskbar saying "usb device not recognized" and heimdall never changes from 'device status: disconnected", the big flash button is grayed out. I tried on two different desktops, tried different usb ports including 2.0 and 3.0, tried two different samsung branded cables. Frustrating
Are you entering dl mode through cwm or manually? I've never had luck going through cwm...although I think you stated earlier you couldn't enter dl mode the manual way

Tried both, although I am not 100% sure im in correct download mode manual way. When i enter download mode through red cwm i get the yellow construction sign but the pc never recognizes the phone it seems. Going the manual route the phone gets stuck on the samsung logo with the 4 buttons lit up on the bottom and the pc says "usb device not recognized". So it seems the PC is seeing something the manual route but the yellow construction sign never pops up.

The Samsung logo should not pop up at all so your either doing something wrong the manual way or your infuse doesn't wanna go the manual way
It may be that your power button is borked...been seeing that a little lately...
When entering download mode it should go straight to the yellow triangle thing or to the option to enter download mode or reboot phone...again when entering download mode you should never see the Samsung logo first

OK well that makes sense, the phone refuses to go into download mode the manual way. I am 100% positive I am not touching the power button during the process.
I am unplugging from usb and removing battery
Holding both volume buttons
re-inserting battery with volume buttons held
re-inserting usb cable with volume buttons held
it goes straight to samsung logo every time

if you put battery in without usb will it bootup to samsung logo by it self? if that happens then it supports the possibility that your power button is borked
also may wanna try this method to get into download mode as ive heard of it working for others
pull battery
hold volume keys
plug usb in
place battery back in
and as a last resort there's always usb jigs which i think you can buy for like 5 or 10 bucks on ebay

Ok progress is made! Not sure why it worked this time but I was able to get into download mode manually! The phone immediately went to the yellow construction sign. I cleaned out the area around the power button with an air compressor (not a can), was probably just real dirty from pocket scum. Heimdall still says disconnected
Ok semi-success!
Heimdall recognizes the phone now!
When i go to flash it pops up a window with some instructions for zadig.exe (wants me to select samsung usb in next window), however when i select options -> list all devices it doesnt show samsung usb in the drop down menu. Just 'Gadget Serial' 'Gadget Serial (Interface 0)' and my IR receiver (its a htpc that finally recognized the phone).
Not sure what to do now...
Fixed!
Just used odin and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27286083#post27286083 !
Sweet now back to stock and can work on getting back to yummy ICS from here... what a learning experience! Seems it all came down to a dirty power button...
Thanks for the help everyone!
Awesome! Glad you figured it out somehow. You might want to download zen arcade's infuse toolkit or some roms and throw them on your phone just in case something crazy happens during a flash again.
Can not get into download mode or switch on... Please help!
I have Samsung Infuse 4G and I was on Froyo and tried to root my phone with Odin3 v1.7 (I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.tar); however, messed up something now I am not able to switch on the phone or get into download mode or any boot loop screen ... nothing at all... on black screen which shows image of mobile and PC and one yellow triangle between them with "!" sign...
Someone please help me... if there is any way to fix this... or my phone is dead for ever...
Use Odin on that screen, same as download screen

Hey guys,
I just bought the Samsung J4+ (SM-J415F) and now have a dead phone after flashing a firmware. It doesnt turn on. I cannot put it into recovery mode. The screen is always black. This is the order of events:
1. I succesfully flashed twrp + supersu (i followed the steps from this page: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...j415f-t3876876)
2. After doing that i had a bootloop.
3. I decided to flash the following rom to get rid of the bootloop: [up_vnROM.net]_J415FXXU1ARIK_J415FOJM1ARIK_EGY_8.1_FULL (https://www.firm-ware.com/2018/10/sa...-download.html)
4. This also worked successfully and i saw the android symbol for a few seconds. However, then the power went off. Now the phone is dead.
It seems like i can turn it on to download mode (screen still black tho) and connect it to odin (odin is recognizing the phone) but if i try to flash again it stucks on "setup connection". I am using odin 3.13.1. Yes I already tried to run odin as administrator but it didnt change anything.
Any ideas how to bring my phone back to life? Any help would be appreciated.

How are you getting to download mode?
It seems you are not actually in download mode, but the phone is in a semi booted state.

That will just reboot the device.
Plug the USB cable in then hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN.

Did you ensure the cable was attached to both device and pc?
If so I suggest you try another cable.

This will happen if your cable is not connected to both PC and device.
The device needs to detect it is connected to a PC.
I suggest changing the cable.
Secondly you can try booting to Recovery mode. (with cable out)
As soon as you see that flash hold POWER + VOL UP only until you see recovery mode.

when you in download mode and have message "setup connection" dsconnect cable and connect again and try flash.if is not your country firmware then check only ap,bl,cp and csc and try flash.
