Hi Guys,
Need urgent help!!!
I wanted to update Samsung Infuse from 2.2.1 to 2.3.5. I used Odin and I997UCKI4-Homebinary.tar.md5 but it got stuck at image.gz something.

Even if i plug it to charger, still it flashing white light. In Odin, i am getting removed, added, removed, added, removed......continuosly. It seems like infuse is restarting continuosly. i tried plugin cable in pc, pressing both volume but nothing is working,

Finally, I got the white screen blinking problem solved by JTAG. I took my phone to repair shop to just see if its quick fix and he used JTAG(http://www.jtagbox.com) to reload the corrupt bootloader. All the problem was due to corrupt bootloader

[Q] Infuse bootloop

Im trying to explain everything to prevent unneeded questions
I have viewed several threads about this but absolutely none with an answer. My Samsung Infuse 4g with at&t (nonrooted) is in a bootloop. The cause of this was my every-other-day reboot. Once I turned it back on it goes to the samsung screen for about 5 secs, then goes black, then says samsung again and so on repeatedly. I pull the battery and as soon as it makes contact back with the phone it turns on by itself into the same Samsung screen over and over. When plugged into wall or computer it will show the charge screen where there is no battery life left, then it will flash and start up the charge screen again and so on just like the samsung screen. I cannot go into download mode (the buttons, at this point, do nothing. No response)
I have tried taking the battery out and plugging in usb cable to computer, then holding both volumes and putting battery in=charging loop
↑ with volume up=charging loop
↑↑ with volume down=charging loop
computer doesnt detect it, adb cant find it, cannot go into download mode, odin cant see it, heimdall cant see it, cant actually boot into anything, cant leave battery in or else phone will restart itself the entire time, and this was caused by my (already gbread) infuse 4g doing a regular reboot (aka power button, tap power off, after phone is confirmed off take battery out, battery back in, turn on)
Recommendations at this point? on a scale from 1=noob to 10=expert im a 7 on this type of thing. Ive always heard that as long as you can boot into a picture its only soft bricked but if i was right i wouldnt be here. Any and all help would be much appreciated. If you need me to post a video I would have NO problem doing that showing everything im doing.

oh, and by I have viewed several threads about this i meant that i have only been able to find 1 thread about it and 2 links that didnt work for me but might for you
link that worked- http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1354731.html

You might have already tried this way, but I've always held down both volume buttons first before plugging in the USB cord - not the other way around. You can also try different cords, different USB ports and/or different computers.

Mine was doing this the other day and it turned out to be my SD card being flaky. Maybe try taking it out and booting?

Ive tried a hp touchpad cord, an atrix cord, and the original cord. I cant really do the button combo because as soon as the battery makes contact the phone turns on. thats why i had the usb cord in first to see if it worked. ive tried every usb port and 2 different laptops, the computer wont recognize it if the phone wont go past the samsung start up screen

I've taken the card out and used a different card, nothing. Tried taking sim card out, nothing.

I should have been clearer. Leave the battery out of the process until after attaching the cord and the screen coming up.

I do, every time.
1. battery out
2. hold down volume buttons (any combo)
3. attach cord (nothing happens, no screen, nothing)
4. put battery in
Results= Charging loop

should be the same...wonder if you battery needs to be charged first, it should be fully charged at best...to do any flash/Odin/one click
this how I do it...basicly the same..
>take batt out
>plug in usb cable...to both phone and computer
>hold both volume buttons...NO NOT HOLD THE POWER BUTTON....
>put batt in...
and bam should see the android dude shoveling in yellow triangle...

If you get no response from the usb without the battery, and inserting the battery indicates the battery needs charging - I'd suspect the phone's usb port. Especially after trying different cords & computers.

Have you tried a jig you can buy them on ebay for 6-12 bucks or you can donate one of you old cables and make it your self..

this will/should get you into download mode

Hello.
I have the same problem... tried also everything now i gave it to cellphone shop, i hope you guys can give me answer before i am gonna waist $100

HELP?1
Help me please

I was in this state. There are two options I can think of. A JIG as mentioned previously or the Heimdall One-Click-Unbrick. The one-click unbrick did it for me and got me back to cmw and download mode, then i could flash to stock, root and flash up to ICS. It was really easy and I stopped sweating once it booted to cmw instantly after running it.

hello.
The problem is when i connect it to my computer its keep disconnecting and doing terreble noise, (windows noise) when you keep connecting and disconnecting USB cable
JIG DIDNT WORK, because the same problem.... maybe the chargging connect is broken? or has a corrosion?

Moving to Q&A

Sounds/Looks like a hardware issue...
Did it get any water damage in the past?
Hope you got warranty or still under warranty.

I am having exactly the same problem. My Infuse has never been rooted or unlocked (quite ironically, I was about to root it for the first time).
Boot loop when not plugged in, charge loop when plugged in. Absolutely no combination of buttons, inserting/removing the battery, and/or plugging/unplugging the USB has gotten it to do anything.
This has happened several times over the past few days. The first few times it sorted itself out in an hour or two. Today I couldn't get it to do anything at all.
I found several posts by people who have this problem, and it has never been conclusively solved from what I've seen. Finally one person said they fixed it by lightly smacking the phone with their hand. Lo and behold, it came on for about 5 minutes before looping again. So I smacked it again, and before it could re-loop, I factory reset it. A few hours went by and I was convinced that it was fixed.
A few minutes ago I had it plugged in to my computer via USB and was getting ready to SuperOneClick it. Then it went back into loop. I can't get it to come on this time. Again, no combination of buttons will send it into download mode. The computer can't see it. The battery is charged. The USB cable and port are fine. The software was reset earlier today. Does this mean that I have a hardware problem, or is there a software issue that could be fixable?
EDIT: So I decided to try hitting the power button, something that had never worked to this point, and the device came on. A couple minutes later it went back to boot loop. On a whim I tried download mode, which had stubbornly refused to work all day. Of course it immediately worked. Not really knowing what to try, since I'd already wiped user data, I wiped cache data and formatted the internal SD. Then I told it to reboot. Back to boot loop. A few minutes later, it came back on with the power button. Two minutes later, boot loop again. Then it restarted of its own accord. And now back to boot loop. I just don't even know anymore.
EDIT2: Just a thought... Something is weird with the power button. Whenever the phone is on and I hit power (briefly, not holding it down), it goes to the shutdown menu as though I'd held it down. A few seconds later, I'm always back in boot loop.

Infuse loop
I have found the problem. It is, in my case, the power button. I removed the case and crossed terminals with a paperclip. BAM. Booted up, and when I removed the paper clip.... back to boot loop at Samsung logo.
There is a place to send the phone. Ive see great reviews.
mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-infuse-4g-power-button-repair/

Seems like there has been a string of power button malfunctions going around lately. There are a few threads going on where people have had this issue. Sometimes its just the terminals needing to be cleaned or dust blown out.

[Q] Stuck on Samsung logo, unable to reach recovery mode

Hey guys, so I've been having difficulties getting my phone back to working order, I've tried factory resetting it by holding the vol buttons and power button, pulling battery, plugging in the usb, everything else. Still can't get into recovery or download mode.
When I do plug in the usb, it connects to my computer but then immediately cuts out again, and connects again in a loop.
Is there anything I can do? Or just wait until the S3 comes out :/
Thanks for the help!

Hi plz go thru it this was when i got into similar situation usually its cable and port which make problem.

[Q] Help! True infuse brick and loop

Hey Gang! I have a not so common issue, from what I have searched and read.
I'm trying to fix a friends Infuse 4G from looping at the Samsung screen. Also the phone would power loop when battery is inserted and charge loop when plugged into the USB Cable. Nothing I have tried has worked.
Tried:
1. 3 button to CWM Recovery. FAIL
2. Volume up/dn held then plug USB in for download mode. FAIL
3. Plug in the USB with no battery, hold volume up/dn, insert battery for download mode. FAIL
Ok... now being really familiar with electronics, I made a JIG from a tutorial and here is the fun part for those that want to help out....
I plugged the JIG in, inserted the battery and behold... I got the download mode screen... but it too is LOOPING!!!!
So I tried a quick switch. Inserted JIG, Inserted battery, got the download mode screen and before it looped, I replaced the JIG with the USB Cable. FAIL! It started looping with the Samsung screen.
I am stumped! Can anyone help out or know how I can get past this issue so I can Odin or flash back to stock without backtracking to what I have already done?
Thanks in Advance,
Scott

Will check it out and will report back. Thanks again

That's definitely a messed up power button. My power button is messed up also. About every 3 months, I have to just slam the power button on a hard surface and it goes back to normal. Just a quick fix if nothing else works or if you can't fix it.

I may suggest tapping it or taking it out for a cleaning.
Or replacing it or even remapping it..there are 2 threads in the general section that is relevant.
I don't recommend slamming it though...what is good or omar's phone may not be good for zero's phone.

Lol valid point. Hope everything works out for you tho. Some people have gotten their power button fixed for cheap..don't know exact prices.
