About 2 months ago, I got a Samsung Infuse 4g. I was thrilled. At first I was satisfied with the stock rom and its limited functions, but then I got really interested into custom roms. I rooted my phone, installed Clockworkmod recovery and flashed Cyanogen 7 rom. During the reboot process, I pulled out the battery just like the tutorial said and thats where everything went wrong. My infuse got stuck into the bootloop, but I was able to get into recovery. I flashed Cyanogen 7 again and it work. However, my home, back, search and menu buttons all stopped working. I figured it was the customed Rom, so I flashed MiUi. The buttons still did not work. What is worst of all, is that My computer refuses to recognize my phone(yes I installed Samsung Kies)(download mode is unrecognizable too). It only recognize it as a storage device. As a result, Odin does not pick it up. neither does heimdall. I need some serious help. I have tried everything. I am currently running Miui and apparently, now I can't get into recovery mode. Guys, please help.
if you cant access the phone from usb and you cant get into recovery then you re screwed.I had a similar problem and had to return the phone to vodafone to fix it
After screwing around with it, I factory resetted and Tried download mode on a different computer and luckily it worked. Odin was able to pick up my infuse and I used Ultimate Debrick. Thanx a million to those within the Community who are consistently developing and coming up with programs such as Odin. Big thanx to everyelse who shares their thoughts and advice.
my friend gave me his galaxy captivate. he was messing with the software an screwed something up an he gave up trying to fix it an gave me the phone. it is a galaxy captivate with froyo 2.2 what happened as he told me is he flashed a new kernel with rom manager, but rebooted the phone before he was suppose to. now when it boots it shows the i896 on startup but goes to this glitched out screen with random colors in lines, the phone vibrates a few times then restarts itself an repeats. is there anything i can do to fix this?
If you can go into recovery, reflash a stock ROM and see if that will help. There are plenty of resources on this site that will teach you how to recover from a bootloop (which is what it sounds like it is from your description).
Seems like a bootloop. If you can get into recovery: factory reset, wipe everything. Go mounts/usb storage (or something like that) and mount it to your pc. Download a stock rom if you can. Hope it helps. Sorry if it doesn't.
i upgraded my note N8000 via odin mobile pro with success and everything was smooth and the root was not intact
I tried to flash a theme via mobile odin but was not success, but note was still ok
then 2 days later I tried to enter the recovery mode , i found the note stuck on samsung boot screen and dose not reboot, I can enter download mode but can not enter recovery mode to reflash even the stock rom
what to do?
should i reflash the CWM as 1st time? then reflash the root if i found it is gone?
or i have to reflash the stock rom first via odin desk top since i can not reboot the note? problem is the stock rom is on the note and do not have it on PC
the note now is on Samsung boot screen, how to turn it off since note can not remove the battery?
EDIT 1::good:
Flashed a stock recovery via odin desk top, and rebooted
Note is back alive , no wipes, every thing still there, root still here
Rebooted once again with success
rebooted into recovery (stock since I lost my CWM) with success
EDIT 2
Flashed CWM and my note is back for my modifications

Do you have a link to where you found the stock recovery rom/image? And how did you flash it? I am having a similar problem right now.

Will reflashing the tablet to stock, delete all of my files off of it? Is there a way to retrieve the files through download mode somehow?

It says you flashed a stock recovery. Is it the same case for a stock ROM?

sorry, my mistake, flashing the stock rom will not delete your stuff, just be sure to flash the same rom or higher, not lower one
So, I tried flashing the stock recovery and that did not work. And then I tried flashing the stock rom (multiple times with different roms) and that did not work either. My tablet is still stuck on the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1". Do you have any other suggestions?
can u write some details about what was before and reason for problem, to think together about a solution

My Note 10.1 N8013 was rooted, had TWRP, and Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nightly on it. I hadn't touched it in two days and went to turn it on. It wouldn't turn on, so I assumed it was dead. I charge it overnight and try to turn it on in the morning, but it just goes into a boot loop. The tablet says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" and stays that way until it dies. If I boot into recovery mode, the Teamwin (TWRP) title screen pops up and then immediately disappears. The tablet then shows the battery loading icon if it is plugged in. The icon shows up, then disappears and the shows up again and repeats this a few times. I could only boot into download mode successfully.
I have tried flashing different stock roms and recoveries through odin, including the one that you have linked on here. None of them have worked. I have also tried repartitioning the tablet, which passed on Odin, but did not solve the problem.
Other forums say that I should do a factory reset or wipe the data, but I do not know how to do this without being able to boot into recovery or the OS itself.
Thanks
P.S. I also brought it to Best Buy to see if the Samsung guy could reflash the stock rom, but his rom did not work either. They are all passing on Odin, so it isn't an error in that case.
I read that a lot of people got problems with Cyano roms. I did not like it and never used it, sorry can not help you

Could it be because of the Cyanogen rom? I didn't update recently... I probably updated it a week before it died. Would you happen to know how to do a factory reset / wipe the data from the tablet, if I can't get into recovery mode or the OS?
I don't think that there is any other way, sorry about that.
try to put your problem in the Cyano rom thread, may others had the same and solved it
Ok thank you
Let me know if you get it fixed
Hi kyleschepis,
Let me know if you find a solution. I have a very similar issue . . . the difference is, I am not using a custom ROM. I have the stock ROM that came with the GT-N8013.
My issue started about 5 days ago. My Galaxy Note had been having occasional issues with the external SD card. A warning would appear saying that the SD card had been removed, and a couple of seconds later it would re-mount and every thing was fine.
But 5 days ago, I picked up my note and turned the screen on (it was already started) and noticed the warning message while the screen was still locked. Then, as the second message was still being displayed letting me know that the SD card had been mounted, I swipe the screen to unlock. But instead of unlocking, my Note completely rebooted. It got as far as the logo screen (displaying "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1"), but would go no further.
I am able to get into the Odin download mode but cannot get into recovery mode no matter what I do/
I have tried re-flashing the stock ROM ("KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5") several times, as well as trying to install customer recovery modes like CWM and TWRP, as well as the stock recovery. But the power + volume up combination does not get me into recovery mode. Even if, as many have suggested, I continue holding the button combination until the logo screen displays a second or a third time.
I have been without my Note for 5 days now, and I use it for everything. So, any help I can get would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

I have the same problem. I was just playing a game when it suddenly turned off and went to the boot screen. Also tried installing N8000XXUDNE5_N8000OLBDNE3_N8000DXUDND1_HOME.tar.md5 (success but also didn't work). Still stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen.
Also can't access recovery, or do a wipe before installing firmware (I think USB debugging isn't turned on).
Did you find any solutions yet?
Thanks.

Sorry till now no solutions ... If you have warranty on the device go to the samsung maintenance center i think its wrong factory made
Hi there everyone, recently signed up on here as xda seems to be the holy grail when it comes to all thing smartphone.
I'm fairly new to these type of phones and recently was given an infuse 4g that was suffering a power button problem.
The power button problem has been resolved with a new one and the phone was working fine for 3 / 4 weeks.
One day the phone shut down by itself and entered the boot loop syndrome. Factory clearing it hasnt seemed to do anything to resolve the problem as it continued to reboot continuosly.
I came across the thread about gtg ultimate unbrick guide in the developers forum and this seemed like a good way to go, get the phone all the way back to stock and then work from there.
Kies installed and all drivers installed fine. downloaded the gtg unbrick pack and followed the instructions line for line. Odin reports everything passed, took about 2:59 to complete.
phone rebooted and continued to do boot loop so went into recovery as stated and wiped data and cache and rebooted again.
phone is still stuck in some sort of boot loop, but it gets to display the 1st of the setup android phone screens, then just as you get a chance to select next to go onto the next screen, the phone reboots.
Any one have any idea what could be going wrong or as im fairly new to this, is there anything im doing or not doing right that is causing this.
The phone is an at&t infuse.
regards
Trevor
sound like an issue with stuck power button. it's a know issue with this model. google "infuse 4g boot loop" there's few youtube videos you can try.

I've already replaced the power button with a new one, but the technician i use did say he will remove the power button completely to see if it does the same, just to rule that out
Trev
just redone the gtg flash and it boots into the os (ver2.2.1) and then within about 5 seconds turns off and reboots
can the new on off switch be faulty......im not so sure as in recovery mode, i can leave it on that screen forever and it doesnt attempt to reboot
Tried the one click repair with hemdial or what its called, updating thisnpost via a moto defy mini so excuse any typos.. The hemdiaOl just seemed to meas it up further. So got baxk into downliad mode with odin and reflashed to gtg brick recovery. Not fixed, still booting but at least the screen is now viewable.
To recover one of these phones, is there like a definitive guide as to what to do to first prepare one of these phones for recovery, ie, first, flash to this with cwm and then clear data, cache, dalcik etc. like an idiots fuide, i feel i may need one
Regards
Trev
