So I'm going to exchange my infuse. I have the shipping labels already but my question is, I told them I bricked after updating to gingerbread, they never asked how I updated or anything. I told them my issue, and they issued the labels, my thing is, I didn't tell them it was after updating to ucbl3 and that I was rooted, I have hacking stuff on the root of the internal sd card, will they refuse to help me because of any of this?
Lol, Your making absolutely no sense at all, None what so ever. Odin back to stock using GTG Ultimate Unbrick then ship phone back. Simple as that!
I probably should have added I have bricked it. I can't get to download and I only have 3e. I have exhausted every download mode option, but let's focus on my question please? Thanks though.

If they unbrick it themselves and find the phone has been rooted they won't replace the phone. I hear a lot of ppl saying a usb jig may unbrick the phone. Google it.

I have personally never heard of a truely bricked Infuse. Even without a jig.
What have you tried to get into dl mode?
I have tried the volume rockers, all variations of it. Battery/no battery. Holding both, inserting battery, then cable. doing cable then battery while holding rockers. I've tried doing the adb way, but it wont show under attached devices. Basically, no matter what I do, as soon as put in the usb, it always boots to SAMSUNG screen.

It is extremely unusual for this to happen. I can tell you how I do dl mode if that helps.
I remove battery
Hold down up and down volume
Insert battery
Insert USB cord connected to PC.
Chances are, if you send the phone in like that, they will see that you voided your warranty by rooting it and you will get charged full price for the phone.

!?!?!?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Ok i had the same problem. Nothing worked, not even a jig. But, there is a website called mobiletechvideos. The head guy saved it from the brick, and found out my usb port was broken (replaced for free, did no good ). Going to trade in my infuse for another infuse when we get the note. The service is 40 dollars, but heck its better then taking a risk and paying 530 or whatever att says it "lists" for.

Do what he says. You would be a fool to send it back as it is. It can be fixed. You don't want to pay full price for that phone and att will charge you for it.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
They dont really care, man. I dont want to give you bad advice, but I went into a device support center today. The phone was rooted, and I even had superuser in the app drawer, and CWM recovery flashed. The people arent even smart enough to realize that it was rooted or custom recovery was installed. They tried to flash it with the stock recovery tool they have, and it bricked. They gave me another one.
Honestly, it is in their best interest to just intake the phone. They strip it of all working parts, take it all apart, split them into bins, and create new refurbished phones out of them.
Is this an AT&T exchange? If so, they generally send you the replacement phone first, and then with the shipping label in the box, you ship the phone back.
There is that chance though. I hate to see anyone pay full price for a phone when they don't have to. Att gets enough money from their customers.

Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though
Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.
Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.
Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

Oh just figured it was for just LG phones. It doesnt feel like it connects to the phone to snug either.
Was running cm10 4.1.1 with butter from last month's build. Running great.... but then phone turned off while in idle one time and won't restart. Won't even bring to Samsung screen or when plugged into computer.. no download mode. No cwm boot as well. I've tried pulling the battery and even putting in my spare one.. no luck. However, sometimes when I do just try to power up normally my keys light up and give the vibration when touched. Which provides some hope
Never had a brick like this before. I'm sure there's software to run... just not sure since no download mode.

The download screen does not appear. Just remains blank.. I tried the same jig on my friend's gs2 for us cellular and worked there. Is my phone so messed up that the jig will not be recognized?
Also, the jig I ordered has been reported to work fine on the infuse.

Well I accidentally flashed a GS3 rom on my skyrocket and I'm pretty sure its bricked. The phone stays black and doesn't appear to power on at all. I am unable to get into recovery or download mode to flash in odin. The flash was a clean install and I had formatted both my emmc and usb mounts.
My question is should I bother taking it in to att or will they know that I've had it rooted? Or should I just bite the bullet and send it in for a jtag and pay around $70?
If it won't power on it could be any number of things from AT&T's perspective. It's worth a shot to see what they say.

warranty it, just play stupid and say it wont turn on and you dont know why, and dont mention anything about flashing a rom
Definitely a hard brick. I'd take it to AT&T first, tell them you were in the middle of the firmware update (act dumb) and the phone just turned off and wouldn't turn back on. I've heard stories (see edit below) of AT&T-owned stores calling corporate for guidance as AT&T's update was implicated, then just pulling out a new phone and handing it over well after the 14/30 days are up. More likely, they'll refer you to Sammy to have it warrantied out. Nothing to lose by trying at least the AT&T store first, as a one-day turnaround and free replacement is a better deal than waiting for Sammy to do their thing and send you a refurb, or spending the money on JTAG.
Edit: Stories. That's it. Haven't seen it happen. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks everyone. I'll head to att tomorrow and give it a shot. Will report back with outcome.
Take it to att if its still under warranty and play dumb. If it won't turn on they won't know its rooted or other ROMs have been put on. I'm sending this from a phone that was replaced under the same circumstances you're in:thumbup:

Nice! Out of curiosity, what did you say? Turned off and won't turn back on? You can answer via PM if you think they might see or anything.
That's it. They tried to turn it on, called a tech guy, still couldn't get download mode and that was it. Just don't talk and use short answers to the questions. Take the sd card out, of course. They send a refurb'd phone, less the back and battery. You then send the old phone back in a prepaid envelope that comes with the re furb. Pretty painless

Thanks for all your help. I actually have an extended warranty, but they wanted to charge me $200 for a replacement (which would probably end up being a refurb anyway). I sent it out to mobiletechvideos today and I'm hoping to have my phone back by the end of the next week. Better make sure I double-check what I'm flashing next time
Another side question - I tried flashing a few ROMs but I got errors during the flash (CM10, CM9) Do I need to have a specific bootloader enabled for those?

No. Don't have to worry about boot loaders on the i727. Just make sure the Rom is for it. As you learned, flashing a rom for a different device is not a good thing. Good luck on the jtag.
Read vincoms stickies in the development forum. They have good information on flashing. There is a lot of info there so its not an easy read but they'll save you a lot of headaches of you go thru them.
Edit: what recovery were you using to flash? If you were having problems out its probably an older version. Check that you have the latest. I've had good luck with twrp 2.4.4.0

Nope, Ill tell you what happened. I have been having problems with the evolution mods kernel rebooting my phone, after i tried the "fixed" version.
So i flashed the full firmware from the 1.55.602 update (im running a stock rom with bloating removed) and i removed the hboot from the zip. Since im running a custom hboot with the text removed. Thinking i could just reflash the stock kernel.
i flashed it, did a fastboot reboot and now its deader than a hammer.
no charge, no usb activity, no turn on. dead as can be. Ill take any and all suggestions. I know my way around pretty well, so im surprised that its bricked. But its the first M8 brick, unless someone has a clever idea?

I am a big fan of your effort to free these android devices. So if they want too much, id be happy to send it to you. Maybe you can prevent the next one from occuring. BTW firewater is an amazing piece of work, i must say

No worries, hopefully you can get it fixed reasonable. Kudos for being honest about it, most people would claim warranty.
Actually I dont mind buying devices. Just for something like this I wouldnt feel good intentionally bricking a $600 device. I do it enough on accident

So i had edged up from my M7, ended up selling that for 400. Got the M8, had 2 payments made, bricked it. So i had to pay off the 500 on the edge. Now whats interesting if you early payoff the edge, you are out of contract, COMPLETELY. So i ended up with a free standard upgrade, so i was able to edge again. thats a FYI if anyone is interested. Kinda sucks, but i made my money back already fixing computers this week. Any idea what i did wrong, i have flashed M7 & M8's & DNA's so many times....I know my way around. Im still baffled
