Hi am trying to fix a infuse but the problem is that it wont go in download mode when i plug the phone it keeps rebooting in the samsung logo. i did remove batt and press the volumen keys but nothing. anyway I have the jig but when i plug it in now it keep reboting on the download mode it show for one second and reboot it wont stay. Is there hope fpr this infuse or is it dead for ever thank
Just came off a semi-hard brick...do you know what you did wrong? I accidentally flashed odin on some bad drivers and lost dl mode...you're not totally lost as long as you still have dl mode. Make sure you have the right drivers and give heimdall one click a shot...good luck
Thats the thing the owner dosen't no what he did he gave it to me so that I tried to get it working but those are the symptoms I see and I install the correct driver from the developer section. All I know it keeps rebooting on Samsung logo and if a place the jig it reboot on download mode. Thank for your help

did you try odin too? it might pick it up...
Its REALLY hard to brick and Infuse actually, MAYBE (and im not saying thats happening but it happened to me for a while in earlier days) you are doing the download mode aka 2 button mode wrong by trying the 3 buttong mode.
Theres 2 drivers that can be used to install roms on Infuse, the heimdall drivers or the "odin" drivers
*The Odin drivers are obtained easily by Installing Samsung kies.
**The heimdall drivers are obtained by heimdall (lol)
Download mode for Odin:
-Be sure you havent installed the Heimdall Drivers as they commonly override the Odin ones.
-- ONLY If you have installed the Heimdall drivers just go into control panel, hardware and sound, devicesand printers, look for the samsung usb and revert the drivers to previous.
1.-Remove battery
2.-Connect the Infuse to PC by the usb cable WITHOUT putting back the battery or holding any buttons yet.
3.-Hold vol up and vol down.
4.- ONLY after removing the battery and having the Infuse connected to usb cable and pressing vol up and down THEN introduce battery without pressing power button or anything.
It will power alone and enter download mode.
Then open Odin and flash the stock rom or any you like.
IF you are doing it right then I apologize for being repetitive on something apparently easy and i hope someone with more expertise than me can help you man.
Good luck and i wish you the best for your problem solution.
The following has always worked for me:
1) Pull and reinsert battery
2) Hold VolUp + VolDn, DO NOT PRESS POWER
3) Insert USB cable while holding VolUp + VolDn
This should take you into download mode
Yes I had tried everything am going to post a video so see if you guys fugue it out

I am completely stumped. My wife's phone quit working today. It won't turn off without pulling the battery, if the screen times out you can't turn it back on without plugging it in.
I did a factory reset, same problem. I was going to try to root it and install a new ROM and kernel, but when I boot into fastboot the phone is not recognized on my computer (fastboot devices doesn't list anything) and the volume buttons are not responsive at all in the fastboot menu. I plugged my phone into the computer (another nexus s) and it is listed when I type fastboot devices so it is the phone, not a driver problem, etc.
I am out of ideas here. I have essentially a bricked stock Nexus S and a working CM7 Nexus S. Is there anything I can do or is this an issue I have to deal with samsung warranty?
Gonna have to put it in "download mode"(HOLD both volume buttons and PRESS power button)
Then.....
If its a Sprint CDMA version use SWUpdater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072698
If its a gsm, use odin and the correct firmware for your model

Hi,
My phone stuck in CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 blue screen.
I searched alot in this forum and google, every one said to use ODIN to get back to stock,
I tried ODIN recovery to get back to stock, by my PC doesnt recognize my device (because ODIN requires device to be in download mod). So how can I fix this? Please help me.
Thanks in advacne

First... what where you doing to get it on blue cmw in the first place?
Also im not saying you are doing it wrong... and im SURE you have tried like 1000 times but lets check:
1.-pull battery out
2.-connect cable to PC and to phone
3.- while connected to PC and battery OUT press BOTH volume keys at same time
4.-while pressing both volume keys and conected to pc trough micro usb introduce the battery
Thats how you go into DL mode... if it DOESNT.... damn... you messed up your bootloader? at the VERY least you should get a:
"Phone-----!-----Computer"
sign....
Not working still? hmm get an usb jig on ebay/amazing or anyplace you like to FORCE the DL mode... still try the steps i provided before... when entering DL mode only 2 buttons nedded not 3 like on CMW recovery read the steps... then try... try.... and try.
If nothing yet:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...Accessories&hash=item3cbb7b1e8c#ht_2419wt_905
or something similar... yet im 99% sure doing the correct steps should work.
And i repeat... im not saying your doing it wrong... electronic devices may fail anytime still... put the human part to work and read well the instructions and do them as said before we can blame a piece of metal/plastic xD
I really hope you can get it fixed.
Thanks for the detail steps koriotto.. I exchanged at ATT.

Bah =) well you got a working phone now... remember cwm its 3 button, dl mode its 2 and usb connected for next time
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

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

I have been bricked alot. And restored to stock using Odin for about 15 times. But then the USB slipped out of the port during one recovery and the infuse got stuck. Now when I attempt to turn it on, the screen turn on white and flicker back to nothing. The same happens when I plug it in the computer. I cannot go to download mode. Please help me asap!

I would try a different PC first. This happened to me as well.
It seems that the drivers get screwed up when the flash is interrupted. This advice has helped several people.
Good luck bro
I'm assuming you don't get any computer notification that usb plugged in? If you do just give it a few and press up like it is in download mode. I've had a screwed up looking screen and still flashed in download mode even though I couldn't see the screen.

Don't worry. I got into even worse situation, I can't even turn on my phone yesterday when I fail the odin. I thought the bootloader is dead.. charge the battery and try it again and you would put it into download mode.

Bought my jig, over a year ago....never leave home w/o it
This happened to me once. IIRC I pulled the battery, connected the phone to the computer (I don't recall if I had Odin running or not, but I'm not sure if it even matters), then held vol + and - while re-inserting the battery and the phone powered on into download mode. It's been a while since it happened and unfortunately I don't remember the exact order of the steps I took, (I was freaking out a bit and trying different things), but you may want to try this process or some variation of it. Good luck.
