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.

No download mode

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

wrong section needs to be on q&A

Keep trying. But you have posted this in the wrong section.

Sweet story bro.

Are you by chance on a ROM with extended power menu? With the Download mode option. That would be perfect!

I am on no rom. I was switching when I soft bricked

I've exhausted every option presented to me short of sending it to samsung, the thing with that is all my roms and kernels are on the root of the sd card, the current rom before crash was dmans ucbl3 with stock kernel, will they refuse me service for any of this?

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

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

download menu
hold down both volume rockers together only!! and plug in usb keep holding till download mode pulls up on phone

Anyone seen this before?

So I have a infuse that is acting up very weird. It will only turn on if its plugged in to power. Tried everything, if it is unplugged and I insert battery it tries to start up without me touching anything, I get the startup star then it reboots over and over, plug it in and I get the star then battery then I can hold power button and it will fire up, tried different batteries, different roms and updated boot loaders, nothing has worked, thinking a hardware problem.... like a bad micro USB port as it acts funny, but can't find one to replace it with...... any ideas? Bought it for 100$ because it does work, you just can't turn it off while out of the house...lol and I like to fix things.... any ideas would be awesome, thanks!

First question will it go into download mode?

Yes I can get it into dl mode, jars will work and sometimes I can get odin to recognize it.

i would backup any current rom in the case that it is a hardware issue.
Question, can it boot recovery...?
Edit: never mind, stupid question, trying to flash cm9 at the moment so im kinda back and forth.
custom rom, of course it can

I can make it stock or customer, roms are not the issue.... the whole power deal and micro USB issue... wondering if people have seen that.

Samsung Infuse Help!!!!

Hey Everyone i was trying to use Odin v1.7 to flash a new rom from the download mode and odin froze and my phone is stuck on this screen and i have no clue how to fix this someone please help me. it wont let me enter boot menus or anything just this one screen!!!

I believe that is still a form of download mode. You can probably try to connect back to Odin and flash again. You might try using a different USB port and/or cable since you had problems with the previous flash. You also might consider flashing back to stock and then trying the new firmware again. Good luck, let me know if it works.

Odin
Well i got it out of that screen and back into the download screen with the digging android logo but when i load odin it picks up my device instantly i go to pda click on the mod rom stock kernal and all just root and it wont go past Cache It Just Sits There Cache.rfs so now im stuck here lol.

I've had this happen myself. What worked for me was my wife's cable and a different USB port. Also make sure other brand phone drivers are un-installed. One last thing....in kies there is a place for reinstalling Samsung drivers. Hope at least some of this helps.

[Q] Droid 3 stuck in bootloop

I realize there are multiple threads like this but throughout all of them I have not found any that relate to my issue or a combination of them. If I have missed one I apologize in advance and please direct me to that thread then. I was running steel droid what I thought was 5.5 ICS but it looks like it is 5.1 according to the forums. I was previously running steel droid 4.5 GB. I was switching back to 4.5 because I could not get wifi hotspotting to work. I forgot to wipe my cache and went to install 4.5 and I am stuck in bootloop. X+Power gives me the android error screen, M+Power allows me into the main menu but I cannot use AP fastboot, SBF motorola will not pick up my phone and the screen will show a connection to the USB cable. I've never had a problem before but also have never forgotten to wipe the cache so any thoughts would help.

Not wiping cache won't give you boot loop lol just go back into recovery wipe everything and flash a working ROM solved :thumbup:

I would but I get android error screen with exclamation mark each time regardless of how I access recovery X+Power or vol +,- and Power then going to recovery, I wouldn't have thought that not wiping the cache would have been the cause but it was the one step I didn't do that I normally always do so I was just adding it in for information but thanks for the know how that it wasn't the cause. Any other thoughts since I cant even get into my backup ROM or recovery, I have another SD card not sure if my SD card has become fried for some reason, I will be trying that to see if maybe that is all it is.

Yep but phone isn't picking up my data cable and how ever many issues that have come about here, I think I am SOL but gonna try an SD card hoping that it is just a bad SD card or something like that. May end up having to use part of that great tax return also, thanks for the help, I'm going samsung next, that whole fore sight wasn't there two years ago.

In it's current state, is it in any way possible to tell that it is rooted? Is the boy animation stock or a different one? Motorola might repair it for you if you can't tell that it's been rooted

Unfortunately you can easily tell that it is not stock ROM by bootloop

Well your computer should recognize your droid that's a common problem with Odin and Samsung one of these steps always work so try then and seen if we can't get your droid recognized NUMBER 4 WILL WORK 99% OF THE TIME BUT TRY THE OTHER METHODS FIRST 1. Use the stock cable or try a difrent port 2. If its possible on your program take out the battery and SD card as leaving them in course problems 3. Run the program as aminstrative 4. Plug the phone in and have it in download mode or whatever you call it WHILE THE COMPUTER IS BOOTING Up This will force the computer to recognize it not the best method but it always works
