I followed gtg's thread and returned it back to stock using odin,
but that didnt fix my problem I had in the first place.
The phone works fine but I have to boot it through Odin, once its booted up and I turn it off it wont boot again,
It vibrates once then shows and empty battery and then full battery then a black screen and thats it.
To get it to boot again I have to put it in download mode and reflash using Odin
anybody know whats the problem?

So I rooted my phone and flashed Krylon360's Stock + Root rom using this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759 ). Everything went perfectly until I rebooted from recovery mode. It sits there in the boot screen trying its hardest but just keeps randomly vibrating. Not sure what to do about this since It will not go back into download mode to retry again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go back into download mode and try flashing kc1 instead

Nothing ended up working. Just kept sitting in the boot screen, vibrating some more. So I just flashed the original stock back onto it. Thanks for your help though.

Put your phone in download mode and flash the SMS-KJ6 one-click from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
(yea, I need to update the kernel in that package... everything moves so fast)
Leave the one-click open, after the phone reboots from the first flash take the battery out (let it reboot all the way to the pink t-mobile screen, then pull the battery. It does boot into recovery and tries to do some csc update, just ignore any errors in that). put the battery back in and the battery case back on, hold vol+ and vol-, plug in the usb cable and let go of vol+ and vol- when you see the download mode screen come up.
Check the flash bootloaders and click flash again. This gets your phone on GB bootloaders, which if you're coming from froyo, you will need it (you can also get the same bootloaders from FBis251's ext4 starter kit).
After that is done, you should download octane 3 cwm zip and my latest kernel to your sdcard, reboot to recovery, wipe everything, flash octane 3 then my kernel. Let it sit for 30 minutes after rebooting to let everything juice up and soak in.
Also, never odin/heimdall flash on a low battery. Always charge your phone all the way up before doing this as not to brick because your battery died.

I had the same problem. I booted into recovery cleared the cache and user data then restarted the ODIN process and it worked and booted fine.
Hello guys, I recently received my refurb phone back from Bestbuy. I flashed MIUI on to it and about 2 days later I'm caught in this boot loop. After reading several threads, I called and got the battery replaced. That did not resolve my issue. I used GTG's unbrick method with KEIS downloaded. ODIN "passed" it and I got rebooted into 3e recovery (not sure where my clockworkmod recovery went, unless that went with the reset). I selected reboot now, and I'm still stuck in the boot loop with samsung popping up. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I've now tried Heimdall, it allowed the phone to turn on. When I turned the phone off it got caught back in the boot loop again. So I retried while checking "flash bootloaders". All seemed to be well, it turned off and the battery charge indicator came on. I turned it back on and checked a few things out, I didn't download or change anything. Shut it back down and it's caught back in the boot loop again.
I've retried Odin 3 times too.
What the heck do I do now?!

after using the one click did you do a factory reset/wipe with in 3e recovery...or if you using one click, and put cwm on just do a data/factory wipe to clean all...
what i would do...because something is not cleaning...
do the one click reboot
and do the one click to get cwm....
then go into CWM
When in CWM:
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Advance: wipe dalvik cache.
4 Go back and into Mount and Storage: format system, format data, format cache.
5. Go back and one click again to put gb back on with nothing left over...if you want to stay stock...of if you want to add custom rom
put cwm again to go to a custom rom...
may seem time consuming but sometimes it take a few strokes to clean up...
believe me i have had to do this before...
and let us know...kk
Ok guys, thanks for all of the replies.
I've tried and tried this Heimdall now 4 times, twice clicking flash bootloaders. I've gone into 3e recovery and wiped everything.
It will start and get to the setup wizard (for first time use). I click through it and I get to the main screen. I locked the screen and went to unlock it and after I "swiped" it shut down and went back into the boot loop. I retried the Heimdall again, samething happened with the setup wizard, got to the main screen, unplugged the USB cable and it shut down and back into the boot loop.
Any other ideas? I'd love to use this thing...I just got it back and haven''t been able to use it because of this.
Something similar happened to me like a week ago ..i did not know what to do so i odin back to stock about 7 times before i could reach de home screen,the first 3 times i had bootloops,3 other time i went to initial setup but as soon as i was finishing it ..bootloops,the last time i tried i was able to go into the homescreen but it had some apk left over from previous flash..so i use sgs kernel flasher to flash infusion and get back my red recovery ,then i flashed qster total wipe and flashed emencipation.....im so scared now ..i dont think i will flash anything for a while...anyway hopefully you will find the perfect combination to save your infuse good luck

How do I use SGS kernal flasher if I can't get it to turn on? From what I read it requires root and superuser?
So I retired Odin again with no luck. Retried Heimdall by selecting Flash Bootloaders, loaded to main screen, it went back into the boot loop after I locked the phone.
update #3, got into 3e recovery and it rebooted itself from there too.
If you flashed miui you must be rooted ...and yes to use shs kernel flasher you must be in the homescreen ..can you acces cwm? If so flash qster total wipe

I may be confused now, when I reflashed to stock didn't that unroot my phone? 3e recovery is all I can get to.

When you reflash to stock, it does not take out the root unless you erase the proper files yourself. The only thing you lose is the modded 3e recovery and CWM recovery.

Hey all, first time posting here,
So, I rooted my phone a few days ago and flashed Invisiblek's CM10(Running the August 10th build), using the instructions found here. Haven't had any problems at all until now. I had to reboot my phone, and now it's stuck in a boot loop. The CWMR screen is missing the background, and it won't let me boot into ODIN mode. What do I do?
Thank you for any help!

You should be able to boot into odin by taking the battery out, and then putting it back in while holding Volume Down + Home + Power at the same time. And then just flash a stock or stock rooted image in odin.
There we go. Thank you very much!
Flashed the ROM linked from here. Now I'm stuck on the 4G LTE screen. Suggestions?
Flashed it again. Still nothing. Did I brick it?
If you can get into Odin mode, I suggest flashing back go stock and starting over. If you can't get Odin to work, or even enter download mode then you might have other problems.

I am (thankfully) able to get into odin mode. Where can I get the stock ROM for the US VZW version? I haven't been able to find that anywhere, and the thread on here only has dead links.
Flashed again, still nothing. I get stuck at the 4G LTE loading screen.
Found a stock ROM and flashed back to it. Still stuck at that screen. Did I brick it?
dont forget to wipe data/cache...
it happens
you can do this by booting into stock recovery
Volume UP + Home + power.

i love you too.. lol ive been there..
So, I've got it worked out so that I have a recovery image made of a rooted version of the stock ROM. However, I SWEAR a kitten dies every time I look at the TouchPiss interface, but whenever I try to flash Invisiblek's CM10 I get stuck in a boot loop. Any ideas as to what's causing it? I've tried clearing data/cache/davlik cache before flashing the ROM, after flashing the ROM...
Would there be any way at all that I could flash it through ODIN?
Wow, I've searched over and over and tried all possible methods as described in posts here and other forums but to no avail. Phone is in boot loop. It boots up to the point where you see blaze, etc., then restarts continously.
I flashed recovery thru Odin 1.85 which went alright. Load supersuper thru CWM. It went alright. Then I flashed cm-11-20140224-NIGHTLY-t769 and got error. Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik. When I reboot the phone,it goes into boot loop. I then took battery out and wait for stock download (SGH-T769_NA_TMB_ICS_Opensource) to return to stock.
After the download, I put battery on, used jig to put phone in download mode but it cannot. Tried to put in CWM (Up/Down/Power) but still cannot. When I let go, it boots up continously.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!

When you flashed cm was the error a "status 7"?

Maybe adb reboot recovery?
That's if you can get adb

It's ok now. I pulled battery out and let it sit 24hrs. When I put battery back in and plug in the jig, it went directly to download mode! Before, no matter what I did following procedures it never went recovery or download mode. I then flash back stock T769UVMB1_T769TMBMB1 with odin 1.85.
Thanks guys!
The phone boots to only Download mode. I tried to flash it and nothing changed, still stuck on Powered by Android. I need some help ?. Doesn't boot to recovery or even doesn't display charging screen. If you plug in the charger, it only boots to Powered by Android screen. What could be the problem?

Have you tried rebooting into recovery mode using the buttons (Power/Volume/Home) ? If able to access recovery then try factory reset.
It only boots to download mode. Can't boot to recovery

If you cant access recovery or download mode using button combination then good luck. I'd read your post as [once plugged in just boots to powered by android]. You weren't too specific. Details help (rom? stock? custom?] Have you tried leaving it on for a few minutes to see if it progresses any further (past powered by android)? Or what? You can't throw out a general statement and expect specific answers. It's like ... my phone broke ... help.
If once unplugged you cant do anything with button combo then maybe google jtag or dongle jig.
It does boot to download mode that's how I flashed stock rom on it. It was running stock before and had issues with the battery on replacing the battery, it went into a bootloop.
