First off: I'm an idiot. Ok, that's out of the way.
I rooted my Captivate, and installed Root uninstaller. Since I had been using ADW for a long time, I figured I didn't need twlauncher, and uninstalled it. First mistake. After doing this, I received a ton of Force Closes constantly for the process android.process.acore. Don't know what that is, but it sounds bad.
So... I figured I'd reset everything to the way it was. I backed up everything with Titanium Backup, and then did a factory reset. Second mistake.
Now, I still have no twlauncher, and I'm without ADW. No launcher, and no way to enable USB Debugging (that I can tell).
The phone boots up to a black screen. The Menu, Home, and Search buttons do nothing. All I can do is bring down the notification bar, and get to the phone dial pad through the emergency call button on the lock screen.
Please help. What are my options here?

it doesn't bring up option to use ADW if you hit the home key? Try bringing up your dialer then hitting home key.
Either way sounds like you are going to need to ODIN your way back to stock and start over (the link from the 2nd post)
Can you still get to the recovery menu? Either via the 3button method or the advanced power menu? (when you have the phone "booted" and you hold down the power button does it bring up your power menu and if so what options does it give you?)

For future reference, keep a copy or two of your favorite ROMS on your internal SD for cases like this. That way you can boot into recovery and just reflash your current ROM. That saves you from having to flash back to stock and have to see what Samsung and ATT made so poorly!

I am having the worst time with my photon Q. I unlocked, CWM'd, rooted all without a problem. After an unsuccessful soft key mod I went back to restore my saved backup, and restored one from my old phone (Epic 4g) because I am using the same SD card I just got this phone yesterday!
Anyway, now my phone won't go past fastboot. The screen I get reads as follows:
Invalid Flash Mode (S)
10.99(*) (sha-1defefb, 2012-09-20 00:57:56)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3
Battery OK
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
usb connected
My Question is wtf do i do? and my begging starts right meow: PLEASE HELP AS I AM NEEDING THIS PHONE FOR THE WORK WEEK TOMORROW! Thanks so much for all of your guys' awesome work and help.

How do I get these onto my phone/ run them since I cannot get CWM or TWRP to come up?
Here are a few button combinations that tend to be helpful in situations like this:
Power + Volume Down to force a reboot
Volume Up Button while rebooting, to get into recovery
Camera Button while rebooting(i think), to bring up a menu with bootloader, recovery, etc.

Lol, gotcha. What I might do is check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858959
That is basically what we have that is similar to an Odin restore for the Epic. The file has had some problems, but go towards the end to find links to a modified file that does work(I have used it), and a file someone linked that might be fully working, tho I haven't seen anyone try it yet. Maybe your device is still able to restore this way thru Fastboot.
Thanks found it

I got all that and did it then I don't think my battery was charged enough and now it's stuck in the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen wish you could remove the damn battery.
Edit/update: Got system.img pushed via CWM after pushing CWM with fastboot. Got RSD to flash the rest of the files from mattlgroff's post on the RSD FXZ thread. After that it was push TWRP and make a backup of everything, then I applyed update, backed up, rooted, backed up. Keeping away from the mods for this week so I can actually use the phone I just got it Saturday. Thanks again to all the dev's and users who helped and continue to contribute to the site and droids in general!

Thank you so much for posting this gem. Bricked behind the boot screen unlocked bootloader warning. Only could get into Fastboot. I thought my rooting days had come to an end. Thank you !
Good Morning Everyone, This is my first post. I try to never post just read. I have read and read but to no avail. I have a AT&T Samsung infuse 4g. it WAS running froyo. What I mean by WAS, is that I was trying to install the modded 3e recovery so I could install clockworkmod recovery. During this process I read that I need to mount the /system partition as read/write I did this using the tool box that was created by some of your developers. It is awsome by the way. Well I did that and put a new recovery file in the /bin but it did not work as the website claimed so I thought well I should delete the old one. Bad Idea when I did the reboot it stopped me at the samsung screen. I tried to hard reboot it pulled the battery talked to it with a really kind voice and nothing happend. So I decided to use GEG's Ultimate Unbrick because this has worked for me in the past when i have messed up. So I put my phone into download mode and started the process with Odin. And here is where it gets bad.... one of my children was talking with me during the process and he decided to unplug my phone.. AHH EFFFFFF! I thought. Well when I tried to fix it it was to late. My phone will no longer turn on or even pretend to start. I am broke and cannot afford a new phone plus my wife would kill me seeing we have 6 children and it is right before christmas if I came home with a new galaxy note 2 Please Please can any one help a desperate dad with a busted Samsung Infuse. Thank you all for this awesome website that has taught me alot.. Please dont kill me for posting something someone has already posted because I could not find anything that was helpful for this situation with my phone.

Okay now I have really done it this time. So I worked a 18 hour day and thought well instead of getting some rest i will install Gingerbread on my infuse. To make a long story short while I was using odin to install it paused for a long time at the format stage, so I thought well I will just turn it off even though it says not to and then.....well it did a rainbow colored screen I tried to figure it out last night with no luck. So I have been working on it all morning the rainbow screen is gone but now it just goes from black to all white screen. I have tried every possible way to get into download mode with no luck. Am I screwed or what? Does anyone have any suggestions. If I am out of luck does anyone know if bestbuy's warrenty covers rooted phones that are [email protected] bricked?
You just need To update your boot loader.

Maybe you can answer a question for me is there a way to get to the phone through command prompt? I really need this phone fixed. My wife has been telling me I shouldnt be messing around with it because im gonna break it. I really dont want to tell her she was right. I will never hear the end of it lol!

You're too kind, Merk.
I'm not sure what happened to your phone. The Infuse is pretty sturdy. Flashing should not cause much of an issue. The faulty power button and corrosion of the circuit board were the most I've seen reported.
This is what I use to force the phone into download mode:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-J...665854?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f201c4f3e
Once in DL mode, it's a matter of choosing Odin or Heimdall to bring it back to stock.
One other thought, try a different battery as well.
I had the same exact problem. If the only thing the phone will do is go into download mode, then Samsung will fix it (if your still under warranty). They fixed mine and sent it back to me. Then I tried to flash another ROM on there and while it was flashing, I went to the store, and when I came back it said failed. Then it would only go into the other download mode. The one that has this (phone...!...PC). It wouldnt show up on odin 1.7 anymore. So I ended up trying a USB cable for my HTC evo v, and the drivers installed, then it popped up on Odin. I used G2G's Ultimate Unbrick (dude is a f-ng genius, all credit goes to him) and instead of putting the pit, PDA, and phone file on there and flashing, I flashed one at a time......then....I went back and flashed all at once and everything worked perfect. If your still having trouble with it, I can tell you exactly how I did it, and maybe that will work for you. Sorry to but in on this post and sorry it was so long of a reply. I just no what its like when you half brick an infuse. Mine was like that for 6 months because I couldn't get any computer to recognize it. But anyway, I hope I was helpful.

okay I tried but that didnt work either. Can you go ahead and explain "exactly" what you did maybe it will work!
Thanks again for everyones help!
Ok first I downloaded the unbrick package from this website. I downloaded the drivers for the infuse (not sure exactly where I got them from). I would just Google them. Then I tried every USB port on the laptop. Then switched cables and it finally worked. Opened Odin 1.7 and clicked pit, then flashed. Then I unplugged it, took the battery out and put back in and tried to boot. Didn't work. Then flashed PDA. Did same steps as before and still didn't work. Then flashed phone file. Tried to boot and still didn't work. Then I flashed all 3 files at once. Also, not sure if you know or not but the only thing that should be checked in Odin is f: reset time. Then the phone booted up and it stayed on at&t screen for about 5 minutes then finally came on. Also, you could also try to flash this other PDA file on there. I have the link saved on my computer but I'm not at home right now so I'll have to post that later. In easier steps
1. Put phone in Download mode and plug into pc.
2. Run Odin as admin and only thing checked is f reset time.
3.Flash pit then try to boot
4. Flash PDA then try to boot
5. Flash phone then try to boot
6. Flash all three at once
7. After flash While in download mode, unplug USB cable, take battery out and put back in
8. Reboot phone.
Sorry everything is all jumbled, I just got back to my home state from a road trip and I'm running on about 6 hours of sleep in 3 days. I hope this works for you. Also, there is a video on YouTube of a unbrick service for the phone. Its $30. I personally would not try it but its just an idea if you would want to.

I had the issue where I had the phone, the exclamation mark, and the computer symbol (The Black Screen of Death: Imaged Attached), that is all it would show when I turned it on. I thought the phone was completely bricked until I did the following, which put it into a hidden download mode and allowed ODIN to recognize it. I DID NOT NEED TO BUY A USB JIG.
1. Make sure you have Odin already downloaded and ready to go.
2. Remove the SIM and SD Cards
3. Load up Odin and make sure it is up and running on the computer. DO NOT plug your phone into the computer yet.
4. Reinstall the Battery and plug the phone to the USB cable to the computer.
5. Hold down both Volume keys and then push and hold the power button
6. Keep holding the buttons until it goes to black, KEEP HOLDING A SECOND TIME until it goes to black and the icon comes back on.
7. Now when it goes Black the second time release the Power button only.
8. You should now be in Download mode. The key is holding the buttons, letting it go to black once, and then letting it go to black again, and then release only the power button while your fingers are still on the volume buttons.
9. Now Odin should recognize the phone on a Com port (turn yellow).
10. You are now ready to return it back to stock.
I hope this helps!
did you ever get your infuse fixed man?

Yes I tried to make my own jig but my fat shaky hands could get the end of the wires to hit the correct contacts so I ordered one online and that got me into download mode! Now I'm running jelly bean! Thanks to everyone that helped out I love you guys!!!! PS. Don't skip backing up your efs folder!! Unless you want a headache. But with all my problems it has taught me a lot. My number one tip is to read read read there is always an answer! Thanks again everyone! Always hit the thanks button its the least we can do for all of these brilliant hard working developers.

Hi everyone I am a newbie when it comes to rooting phone and installing a Roms, I recently rooted my S3 and everything went smooth except my WIFI did not work so after so research it seemed as if I did not do it correctly but i followed all the steps. So i decided to try a new Rom I put the Rom on my S3 rebooted into recovery and wiped the phone and the cache as well. I then loaded the Rom that I downloaded from XDA and showed to work with my S3. I used Clean ROM 5.6 and I am sure I jacked something up. Well after I went through the install it went back to my recovery screen and looked like it was asking me to update my sd zip file or something so I updated it and restarted my phone. I am now getting the message "System software not authorized by verizon Wireless has been found on your phone". I thought that the SU privileges were removed or somehow the phone became unrooted so I tried to re-root my S3 and everything shows to go through successful but I cannot get passed this screen, I can get to download mode but i cannot get to recovery at all, I am not sure what I jacked up but its jacked. Any help would be greatly appreciated very much Thanks.
so you say that you cannot open your recovery? try pressing home button, volume up, and power button all at once. try this, if it does not work,i have some more
tricks up my sleeve!!

My OnePlus 8T seems hard-bricked, it can not boot anymore, when plugin ( had to disconnected the battery connector ) it's screen only flash the Logo and vibrate then auto reboot and keep looping. So I need the test point map of this device in order to force flash the firmware, hence, if anyone have it's test point map, please help to share. Or any other solutions may work with the situation.
Thanks in advance!
I had something similar happen: see https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-get-out-of-endless-oos-boot-animation-solved.4366923/
So I'd suggest that you let the battery drain which will turn the phone off. Then charge it for a bit and connect it took the MSM Tool to restore your phone.

Thanks for your info. I've tried draining the battery but seems by bootloader ( somehow ) relocked without my act knowledge, therefore, everytime I try to boot in to fastboot mode, it only show the Fastboot logo for a second then reboot again, then..........keep looping @@
Can u pls check out the video and see if your device used to be like this or not? Thanks mate!

It looks similar to what happened to me. I think I got a bit of the red and white circle before it restarted.
Don't try to go into bootloader. From power off, go straight to MSM.

I experienced your issue with my hiccup a week ago, required the use of MSM tool (full reinstall of OOS)...i kept getting an error on install as it would reboot back to recovery and never finish the process. What corrected it was that I had to change "slot" and upon reboot MSM tool worked.
I use TWRP which was flashed on both a & b
