I have looked through other threads, but could not find one regarding my phone (Samsung Infuse). Anyway I was running MIUI and was trying to get back to stock Froyo 2.2, as the install finished the phone shutoff and now won't respond to anything, power, vol. up + vol. down + power, or plugging it in. Please help, my phone is my lifeline.

is your battery charged?
Not quite sure how to do this as I have never had to but put it into download mode, then Odin it back to stock-you can go to the super thread to get the Odin software. I've read even if your screen doesn't turn on you can still get into download mode.

Yeah. What qkster said. Plug it in and leave it for an hour or two. Then do download mode... It's REALLY hard to brick this thing... And for that there's the unbrickable mod

I'm having the exact issue, after "downgrading" from ICS Passion with GB bootloader, down to stock. The "downgrade" to 2.1 worked fine. Then I used Kies to upgrade to Froyo, and after the install it shutdown, and now the phone doesn't respond to any key. Tried a different battery as well, to eliminate the probably battery issue. No good.
Tried different combos to get to recover/download modes: Vol UP + Power, Vol Down + Power, Vol Up+Vol Down+Power, and Insert Cable+ Vol UP+Vol Down - nothing yet.
Any ideas?
Yea...I have an idea and an question all in one....why and how did you downgrade to eclair??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Considering the phone came with froyo, eclair was never built for this device. You sure you didn't downgrade to froyo?(2.2

My sincere apologies - wrong forum. I just checked the forum title, and found out it was for the Infuse, while I thought I was posting on the Vibrant forums. I have a Vibrant, and am having this issue on that phone.

Not sure if this has been posted before, though I have not seen it in my searches.
Remove the battery
Plug in the USB
Hold Down Volume and and Down
While holding them down, insert the battery
and Boom - Instant download screen.
You do not have to wait for two cycles.
Put the back plate on and flash away.
This works from either "bricked" (Computer "!" Phone) or reboot.

Not really a development topic.
i have not bricked my device from doing this but what i do is just...
1. power down device
2. hold vol +/- button
3. insert usb
and it always goes to download screen. keep in mind i have flashed my device countless times using this method and have not ran into any problems but its just a fyi

Flash to stock JF6 using ODIN from this thread and you will lose ability to use buttons to go to recovery or download mode. Happens to me every time.
I have to apply 3 button fix to get that back

I have a Samsung Fascinate that will not boot, i get a black screen with a cellphone a ! in a yellow triangle and a computers. The 3 button method will not get me into download or recovery! takeing out the battery and plugging into usb with the volume up button down doesnt work either. I tried plugging it into the computer but adb nor odin would detect it(yes i have the right drivers) please help ive hit a wall
Try plugging in with the battery out and the volume down button pressed until the download mode shows up. Btw may I ask how you got yourself into this mess?

as stated in the first post i have tried that method to get into download mode. and i got into this mess trying to get clockwork on the phone (did not install properly) and trying to put samsung fasinate (verison) rom on it... oops lol?
Actually in OP it says you pressed the volume up button. Volume down is what gets you into download mode.

Also I believe you would get more help if you posted this in the fascinate forums.

Found the solution that worked for me. I had to plug in the usb hold volume down then pop in the battery to get it to go into download mode.
Ohh usually it goes with the battery popped out.

That is how you get into download mode on the Verizon Fascinate. Why are there all these guesses all over the internet? That is how you do it.

Was trying to reimage this phone using Odin v1.3 a usb malfunction error message came up Ive been trying to use it to several computers since then, but the same message kept coming up and of course the odin could recognise the devise and i went up turn the phone on normally all i have is a black screen with a phone and yellow explanation and computer logos on the screen the explanation sign is in between the phone and computer logos and now I can not do anything with this phone...I think my only option is for somebody to help me to find some image that will run on the SD card instead of the USB port.
Please help!
Thank you!

has this problem already came up if so I missed it a link would be nice to fix my phone Thanks
I could be misunderstanding your problem here but I think i had a similar issue... first of all make sure you're holding down the power button long enough to boot up. Seems to take 4 or 5 seconds with this phone.
Also when I had the issue i took out the bat, put it back, plugged into a wall charger and then held the power button that worked. But I think really my issue was impatience not holding the power button the first time long enough.
no i am the screen wont say updating or whatever when i hold the up and down button but it looks for a driver ?? and installs the Right driver
helpppppppppp your way to the search button.
Thread moved to proper forum.
You only hold volume down and power. I had the same issue. Holding both volumes will cause the phone to not boot.

So you flashed the recovery before you rooted. Try reflashing the original recovery. I don't know if that will work. You should have rooted then flashed recovery.

thats what im doing now but gewt stuck at waiting for bootloader to int for some reason
Well your g2x will never go out of the updating screen you have to wait until one click says it has transfered the file. Wait a minute or so after that and unplug the USB and put your battery back in the I would do a master rest.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
thing is my lg screen is black can i still root with a black screen ? like i said only action i get out of the g2x is if i hold the vol up And Down and plug it in then i hear the sound of the computer finding it witch gives me hope
I would try recovering recovery befor trying to root again. I would do the nvflash but pick the original recovery instead of cm. Then after that master reset by original recovery which is hold power and down volume. Recovery will rest your rom. Rooting puts you root permissions I believe into a different partition any ways that's how a master reset does not wipe them. Your problem sounds like more of a recovery issue then root.

It is problem is it stays at Waiting for Bootloader int how long should that be there?
are you holding the volume buttons down and plunging in the usb before you select the version? you have to continue holding them the whole time. should pick it up in matter of seconds.
this is the run down..... i change the OS on my Samsung Galaxy S 4G to Gingerbread... the phones turns on fine... but.. it doesn't wanna charge... also when i plug into the pc.. it doesn't wanna recognize the device.. it tries to charge but it doesn't also..it doesn't wanna go into recovery mode or downloading mode using the 3 buttons combos...I seriously need help on this one... i looked everywhere and nothing...(is there any way using odin or adb to restart this services such as downloading mode or recovery mode) ill appreciate the time for any answer.. thank you.
What rom did you flash? (please paste a link) How do you know it's not charging?
If you flashed any of the KF, roms, your bootloaders are screwy. You need to hold volume up and power, it will kick you into download mode.
Flash KG4 first to get proper bootloaders, and then flash KI1, that would be best for you. After KG4 flash, never flash KF1 or KF2 again.
FYI, this should be in the Q and A section.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
it does not wants to go into download mode while pressing vol up + power.... btw the phone charges but it needs to be off....(when i press vol up + power it keeps rebooting itself)
to get into download mode, you have to shut the phone down and press BOTH volume buttons at the same time; then plug in the usb cable (with the other end plugged into the computer). make sure you have the correct drivers and that odin is up. from there, odin to Raver's kc1 (which a quick search with bring up) or odin a GB ROM that is NOT KF. I would suggest the newest ones. from there, you should be good.
i did just that.. when i press vol + - at the same time and plug in the cable while having odin open it just wants to charge and it keeps rebooting and trying to charge.
Pull the battery. Open Odin. Plug phone into usb. Plug usb into computer. Hold volume up volume down. Put battery back in WHILE STILL HOLDING POWER UP DOWN COMBO. Works every time. Well for me a least

That's how I do it too...works 100% of the time. If Odin doesn't see it restart the computer and start over. Quick note, I got an HP computer with USB's on the back and front....front USB's cause fail in Odin every time...back USB's work every time...I think it had something to do with the additional drivers that windows uses with the front USB's.

I don't know if this is true with just my phone or other phones as well but I had the same exact problem and the solution was to use a different USB cable. seems with some cables the phone would charge but not go into Download mode. When I used the cable that came with the phone it worked just fine...
Hi,
today my friend got ICS update in his phone. So I thought I should root my phone and get ICS. I had my phone rooted and then I tried to go to the Odin download mode but I couldn't get it to work and suddenly the phone stopped working. Now it won't turn on AT ALL. I have tried holding the V+ and V- button with the power button. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
The only thing that is working is when I plug in the phone I hear a sound.
Thanks

Wasn't it the general consensus that the Rogers Galaxy S2 LTE couldn't flash the Odin TAR SKYROCKET ICS leaks? I think that's how it was for UCLD2 and UCLC4(UCLA4?)
Well at least Rogers took the phone back

I wouldn't worry too much. If you didn't tell them you rooted your phone and were flashing custom roms they may not even be able to tell. Sounds like you hard bricked, meaning they'd have to do a jtag which, as I understand it, would overwrite whatever firmware you had on there.

I had a similar thing just happen to me where I tried an Odin One Click which hung then my phone was just dead. I had no sound, video, nothing. The only thing that seemed to be happening was Windows trying to install drivers but failing. I took the phone to an ATT depot and they swapped no questions asked because the phone was DEAD.
