Long story short, something happend when I was trying to flash Gingerbread.
Tried restoring my last back-up and things went south. The only mode the phone will go into, is Download Mode. If I try to turn it on, it will say Samsung then go to thousands of colored dots. It just keeps cycling that.
Have tried everything to get my PC to recognize the Infuse. 5 Different cables, all the USB ports, unistall and reinstall countless drivers, etc.
Ive literally been on the computer all day with no luck whatsoever.
Hopefully you guys can help out.

what gingerbread did you flash? sounds like you didnt get a package with bootloaders. also if you tried uckk4 it's a fail right off the bat. it is corrupted. look for the kj4 package. the bootloaders are there. then if you must you can update to the kk3 version.
the failure to connect is just windows failing at being an operating sustem and samsung failing at writing drivers. it's common, keep trying. open odin, pull the battery, plug in the cable, hold down the volumes and slide the battery back in. sometimes that helps. wait for windows to recognize the phone and install drivers.

if you want to be able to flash with reliability install the latest ubuntu with the wubi installer (no repartitioning on your computer) then get heimdall for linux debian. no drivers needed in tht combination. ive never had an issue. not even ever.
I had this same issue the first time I tried it, as well, but I pulled up USB Deview and deleted all the instances in which my phone had come in contact with my PC. Then I reinstalled the drivers using Keis.
Have you tried GingerReal yet? I'm running v1.1.9 as of last night and loving it.
Not sure where everyone else has been getting their drivers, but if you get the drivers from Kies Mini You'll be absolutely fine getting Odin to Recognize your phone.
I had an issue once where Odin wasn't recognizing my infuse so what I did was go to device manager and just updated them from there and it worked so give that a try

How exactly do I install the drivers from Kies?
Do I go to Tools, Install Driver? or do I just plug the phone up and see if it recognizes it?

Same here its sooooooo smooth! LOVE IT!!!
Alrighty, downloaded all the drivers from kies. Also did USBDeview and deleted all the times my phone has connected on the computer, still nothing at all.
The computer just wont pick it up at all. What am I doing wrong. I really dont see where I could mess this up.
Its starting to irritate me a little now. I just dont understand why its saying its not connected or anything.
Be sure the cable is in good condition and check different USB ports.

Well he did mention he used 5 different cables, I'm sure he was being sarcastic and meant 2. But yea definitely make sure it's plugged in and or try a different USB port.

Did you Download Kies Mini and Install It to get the Samsung drivers you need?
You can find the download for Kies Mini Here: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=341559
Yeah, I have Kies. It said it downloaded the Drivers. Ill try the one you gave me the link to though.
Even when you load your phone through Odin sometimes it will take up to a minute for Odin to find the Com Port for your phone.
Edit: I would also try to reboot your computer after installing Kies Mini. Sometimes new drivers install during windows boot up.

I left my phone connected to computer all night while Odin was running and it didnt pic it up.
I found out that I didnt have Kies Mini, just the regular Kies. Dont know if that makes a difference or not?

Lol No Problem.
Alright, I tried the Mini and still nothing.
Just to make it clear, I pull the battery, hook up the USB cable, Hold the Vol buttons down, put the battery back in and then the Download Screen comes up. Is that the screen that I need to be at so the computer recognizes the phone? Cause I go to that screen and and it doesnt pick it up at all.

Yes put it in Download mode, then Pull out Battery, Unplug USB cable, (The phone should be off now) put the battery back in, Hold down the 2 volume buttons while plugging back in the USB cable and it should come up with the needed screen to get into the correct Download Mode to flash your phone.
Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy phone is stuck on the Samsung boot up logo. I shut off the phone and it starts up again to the Samsung logo again. I am rooted but still had the stock rom and kernel.
I went to selections and wiped my cache and tried to format it like a new phone. The same thing still happens. I am not sure what else to do. Anyone know how to fix this?
Keep the instructions simple please, if you do know. (I'm a desperate noob)
Thanks for any help.
IF you ever did nandroid than just restore that otherwise.........
Hey first follow this steps to flash any rom. If you flash the rom properly than you can use any stock rom from dev section and use that.
OR
follow this step to go back to stock and it will unroot you.

Same Problem
My problem is that my Rogers SGSII LTE I727R, is stuck on the logo screen, which is flashing the boot screen. When I connect the USB (even after install of Kies and Odin), my PC does not see the device. I am really not sure what to do. I think I set the wrong phone ID when I installed recovery (I think I was supposed to use the T-Mobil SGSII setting), but I selected something else. I then tried to backup the existing ROM, and am now in this unending loop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Follow these steps it will help you go back to stock. ANd reroot your phone.

I did try the main process, but the problem seems to be that the my PC/Odin, don't see my phone. The USB drivers are installed, and I have the stock rom, but I can't seem to make the connection.

Try a different USB port. Avoid rear ports and hubs.
OK, i will try that on a different computer, as I have tried all of the available ports on my laptop. Any other thoughts?

Have you uninstalled kies? If not uninstall it from your PC. Put your phone in download mode and see if Odin can see the phone.

Try another USB port or another computer. If you can get the logo you are in a boot loop, the most common form of a soft brick. If you can get into download mode you should be able to fix it.

Just saw this. Have you tried to re-install the drivers?
Another thought is to try turning off firewall and antivirus when using Odin. I've never had my firewall or antivirus block Odin but I've heard it can happen...
Can you get into download mode? Hold the two volume buttons down, then plug the usb cable into your phone, then you should be in download mode.
I cannot get into download mode. I just keep getting the flashing boot screen, with the corresponding vibration.

What he said. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume up/down and plug in USB. Continue holding volume buttons until you see download mode. Careful not to press the power button during this process.

I like how u guys are really trying to help him. Let u guys know that on my first responce I gave him all the steps on how to go back to stock. So if he followed that and nothing happened than he should try USB jig if that don't work than its hard brick!!

Don't panic. If you're in a boot loop it's fixable. It's when you get nothing that you need to worry about a hard brick.
Try the button combo mentioned above to get into download mode. If that doesn't work, pull the battery again and try using just the volume down button button--I've heard people say this worked for them when they had a hard time.
If this doesn't get you into download mode, I guarantee you that a jig will work. You can buy one online or make one yourself for about 75 cents and a cut-up data cable (I had a car charger that I didn't need--car charges the phone through USB port, so I cut that one up). Always good to have a jig, at any rate...

Yup, when I rooted my phone, the only way I could get it into download was volume DOWN & power.

alright so somehow in the process of flashing and going back to stock and what not I messed up my g2x and now I have no baseband or battery info and whatnot, you all know the story. Ive spent the last 5 days on the internet trying everything I could find to get it up and running again and I keep hitting a brick wall.. Yes ive searched and tried multiple things but the one thing that I cant get past is the kdz flashing, everytime, no matter what I do, it always gives me the phone not found error, the USB cable and port are fine and I have the drivers installed and everything. Ive tried on VM Xp mode and in Win 7 Ultimate and no luck. If someone can give me some help/support thatd be awesome.

You can use XP mode to do this, and yes the USB driver will detach. Just re-attach it and the flasher will kick right back in where it left off. I had to do this just twice during the procedure. As long as you stay on top of it you will have no problem.

I've one clicked back to stock before, but not from cm9 herring, the one click shows my phone as disconnected. Windows shows my phone as unknown device when in download mode. I've reinstalled usb drivers. Can I flash a GB rom with no issues then try one click?
Your phone should show connected if the correct driver is installed. Is it a heimdall one-click?
Don't flash a gb rom, only bad things will happen. Fix your driver situation first.

Yes heimdall, I've used it before with no issues, when I connect my phone while it's running it shows up fine. It's when I go into download mode that it doesn't. I'll reinstall drivers again
Crazy in download mode it recognized my phone then a second later didn't
Crazy, it would go from recognizing the phone to not so in my frustration I spam clicked flash and bam it stuck. If I wanna be full stock should I flash bootloader?
Aw it just failed
Tried a different cable? I got a drawer full of ones that you have to hold a certain angle to get to work.. but, they work on other phones that I have with no wiggle..

Success, what a pain in the butt thanks
It's not an exact science with these things sometimes. Cable, usb port, day of the week, phase of the moon all can determine a simple 1click to stock or an 6 hour ordeal. lol.
Need some help. Step dad's Infuze is boot looing at the samsung logo. Searched and found qkster's thread about using heimdall 1 click to flash UCLB3. Got the phone into dl mode, loaded drivers and started flashing. Stopped at kernel upload failed. Ending session. Don't know what to do, can I just unplug and start over? Thanks in advance for any help.
Rebooted into dl mode, now it is showing firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again. Please help, is this still fixable?
I can get the phone recognized by Heimdall, just that it stops when loading the kernel. Is there another way to load kernel when in the dl mode?

Try running again and again if necessary until flashes and boots into ROM then Use one of the kernels in the same thread of qkster's that includes root and CWM recovery
Keep trying different ports, different USB cables, reboot computer,use different computer if available

either odin or heimdall works. you have to believe that. the frustration is getting a pc with usb port and a usb cord and your phone to align and work correctly. usually after a few driver install or java update or reboot..something works.
your other situation where you kinda had it recognized and almost completed a flash, try different usb cords. hold it steady, wipe the ports..etc..connection is prolly loose

Yeah frustrating it really is. Will fire up the old xp boxen and see if I get better results with that.
While reading up yesterday, I saw some posts about corrupted efs causing the att screen bootloop. Is there anything else?
I don't think it is a power button problem as the phone doesn't turn on when I insert the battery.
Finally, you think it is safe to use a custom rom if the stock one is bootlooping on the at screen?
Thanks again, will go back to reading and trying stuff after dropping off my son to daycare.
