So, I got soft bricked. I tried to odin back to stock but ive tried every three button combo to get back in to download mode with nothing working. I try pulling battery then holding both vol keys then inserting battery and then plugging in usb cable while its plugged into the computer and odin is running. Ive tried every other variation of this as well. I have no idea what to do next, please help. Plugging in the USB after holding the keys only brings up the SAMSUNG screen. I can three button into 3e recovery but of course that is no help. Please help

Sweet story bro.
Are you by chance on a ROM with extended power menu? With the Download mode option. That would be perfect!
I am on no rom. I was switching when I soft bricked

did you tried a different usb port on the computer or a different computer?
tried a different data usb cord?
I tried different computers, cords, drivers, everything. I even tried a different battery. Would a USB jig work?

possible. A jig would force your phone into DL mode.
I tried to help a few user in the past when they had a continuous power loop, samsung logo and reboot. over and over again.
It was later determined to be hardware.
If you are not able to get it into DL mode, chances are the store tech wont be able to either...you might be able to warranty thru samsung or att for hardware failure
Download mode is what I need to save me, I could unbrick to stock and go from there right?

yes..if you can get into DL mode:
android shoveling dirt or phone triangle with "!"
then you can flash with odin or heimdall..I usually use the heimdall 1 click method.
the important thing is use whatever you're comfortable with.
Sound like what happened to me and im waiting for my next indie now, warranty exchange of course

that question doesn't matter, we know the answer already. thats just a waste of posts waiting for that answer and THEN giving the solution...
OP you will need to use the full version of odin with a different firmware package as newer build phones don't accept jf6 and just bootloop.
at the very bottom of the odin one click jf6 thread are links to 2 such packages.
get in download mode and flash one of those and it will boot.
Thanks but I am having a problem getting into download mode. I just can't see mto get it.
yank battery, open odin, plug in phone, hold both volume buttons, insert usb while still holding volume buttons.
if that doesn't work you will probably need to make/buy a usb download mode jig.
Jig, jig, jig

Hi am trying to fix a infuse but the problem is that it wont go in download mode when i plug the phone it keeps rebooting in the samsung logo. i did remove batt and press the volumen keys but nothing. anyway I have the jig but when i plug it in now it keep reboting on the download mode it show for one second and reboot it wont stay. Is there hope fpr this infuse or is it dead for ever thank
Just came off a semi-hard brick...do you know what you did wrong? I accidentally flashed odin on some bad drivers and lost dl mode...you're not totally lost as long as you still have dl mode. Make sure you have the right drivers and give heimdall one click a shot...good luck
Thats the thing the owner dosen't no what he did he gave it to me so that I tried to get it working but those are the symptoms I see and I install the correct driver from the developer section. All I know it keeps rebooting on Samsung logo and if a place the jig it reboot on download mode. Thank for your help
Sent from my Skyrocket using xda premium
did you try odin too? it might pick it up...
Its REALLY hard to brick and Infuse actually, MAYBE (and im not saying thats happening but it happened to me for a while in earlier days) you are doing the download mode aka 2 button mode wrong by trying the 3 buttong mode.
Theres 2 drivers that can be used to install roms on Infuse, the heimdall drivers or the "odin" drivers
*The Odin drivers are obtained easily by Installing Samsung kies.
**The heimdall drivers are obtained by heimdall (lol)
Download mode for Odin:
-Be sure you havent installed the Heimdall Drivers as they commonly override the Odin ones.
-- ONLY If you have installed the Heimdall drivers just go into control panel, hardware and sound, devicesand printers, look for the samsung usb and revert the drivers to previous.
1.-Remove battery
2.-Connect the Infuse to PC by the usb cable WITHOUT putting back the battery or holding any buttons yet.
3.-Hold vol up and vol down.
4.- ONLY after removing the battery and having the Infuse connected to usb cable and pressing vol up and down THEN introduce battery without pressing power button or anything.
It will power alone and enter download mode.
Then open Odin and flash the stock rom or any you like.
IF you are doing it right then I apologize for being repetitive on something apparently easy and i hope someone with more expertise than me can help you man.
Good luck and i wish you the best for your problem solution.
The following has always worked for me:
1) Pull and reinsert battery
2) Hold VolUp + VolDn, DO NOT PRESS POWER
3) Insert USB cable while holding VolUp + VolDn
This should take you into download mode
Yes I had tried everything am going to post a video so see if you guys fugue it out

I have the same problem that the friend above... Do you guys think that changing the housing will fix the problem? if so, can you refer me a link in ebay where I can buy the full housing? thanks!
So I have a infuse that is acting up very weird. It will only turn on if its plugged in to power. Tried everything, if it is unplugged and I insert battery it tries to start up without me touching anything, I get the startup star then it reboots over and over, plug it in and I get the star then battery then I can hold power button and it will fire up, tried different batteries, different roms and updated boot loaders, nothing has worked, thinking a hardware problem.... like a bad micro USB port as it acts funny, but can't find one to replace it with...... any ideas? Bought it for 100$ because it does work, you just can't turn it off while out of the house...lol and I like to fix things.... any ideas would be awesome, thanks!

Its not recognized in odin, the "My Files" app and the music app are both missing. Also whenever i try to put it into download mode it just launches clockwork mod. I've tried every method besides the usb jig. Does anyone have any idea whats wrong or any solutions to try?
Can you download a new rom. If so can you flash a new one from cwm.

Yes i forgot to mention that. I can flash new roms and everything but they all have the same problem.
I also tried restoring from an older back up and it had the "My files" and the music app but it still wasn't recognized and still wasn't recognized on my computer
My initial thoughts?
Using the stock cable (it matters)?
Connected to computer's USB and not a hub?
Try a different computer?
Can you mount either SD from cwm and have it show up in windows?
If/when you solve the windows issue, I'd try wiping both emmc and external, then load your fav from and retry.

I have used the stock cable and two other ones I have. The only way I could get it into download mode was through the power button shortcut in cm9. Every time I plug it in it says the device malfunctioned. I thought it was a driver problem but I've already reinstalled them a few times.

I followed the instructions perfectly for WhiteHawkx Valhalla when I was at the restart boot-loader section my phone turned into rainbow crack,
but the rom loaded and my phone worked I was however unable to get into recovery from this point forward.
I decided that not being able to get into recovery was unacceptable so I decided to use Odin to load up the old tried an true jump off point the deodexed KD1 I keep with Odin in a folder on my PC for just such an occasion, after attempting this my phone didn't restart on it's own like it was supposed to... (I should have known to stop right there while I was still in DL mode.)
When I restarted my phone manually my phone stopped showing the rainbow crack and showed the normal splash screen (I was foolishly optimistic) my phone is now stuck at the t mobile splash screen and I haven't been able to get it back into DL mode...
Please tell me there is something I can do other than shop for a new phone.

I have tried all of the alternate methods except ADB mode which I don't think i can because the phone wont go past the galaxy S 4g exclusively from t mobile splash screen.
if there is a trick for the ADB method please let me know cause if something is going to work at this point i think that's it.
Well there is hope, your phone is still turning on.
You could see if abd recognizes your phone if you have it. (usually the first things I do is make sure debugging is on when I change things over)
If you know someone with a jig that would be the easiest way but it is 1am.
