HI all,
So yes I have already tried to google, and look through other posts but cant find anything that is my particular situation, heres what happened, Infuse was running on ZEUS 6.1 perfectly, I decided to install ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned, I followed all the instructions, installed ROM, disabled VooDoo lagfix and then the stock kernal, after that the phone just didnt come back to life, the result is currently on the SAMSUNG logo, I can go into recovery just download mode but my USB is not detected either, when I install the drivers it doesnt do anything, tried KIES and other drivers from SAMSUNG, also removed USB ports, restarted, and tried other pc's and laptops and same USB error, even tried on linux, no luck, can anyone please help, I love this phone and the ROM, I have no idea why I attempted to do this but need help.
Thanks all[/FONT]
This happened to me lately but I was on stock froyo. Seems like my usb cable was for charging only. When I bought one that said it was for charging and data, the Infuse was recognized instantly. I am a noob here, but hope this is all of your problem.
Yep, thats what I'm starting to wonder, if its the cable, I am using the microUSB cable that came with the phone from SAMSUNG, never was an issue before, would connect and trasnfer data without a problem, also tried a few blackberry cables no luck, the crazy part is I cant even go to recovery mode, it only goes to download mode, wondering if I can copy some files to the SDcard to boot off with.
If you try everything and it does not work, contact me I know a guy you can send it to for it to be unbricked. When he unbricked mine, he noticed the usb controller somehow glitched and can never be fixed, resulting in a whole new device needed (he tried replacing the usb hub, did no good). Thats what happened to me, make sure to try everything first though.
So after trying a dozen cables, nothing seems to work, I should have known this when the OS was still on ZEUS and I attempted to connect via USB which I received USB not recognized message, I have tried the same SAMSUNG cable for a blackberry and it installs perfectly, so its not the cable, my understanding the USB port on the Infuse is bad, is there a way to boot into recovery of an SDcard so that I can install ZEUS back? I only have "download" mode working, recovery for some reason does not come-up, I am really trying to avoid throwing this phone in the garbage, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Clarification?
You can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see the phone? I don't think you have said anything about trying to do anything to the phone in download mode.

That's exactly it, I can get into download mode just fine, once I connect to pc I get USB device unrecognized, although the drivers are installed, so the crazy thing is I have been on here since the days of Infused downloading and updating ROMS back and forth, never posted anything, even when I had an issue back when, I was able to go into recovery and do what I need to do to bring it back to life, almost felt like an expert given the amazing advice here, never had an issue till now, please help.
I had accidentally set my Infuse in an "almost" empty cup, not realizing that there was still about an inch of lemonade at the bottom. This unfortunatley screwed my USB recognigtion to my computer. It can charge, but is no longer capable of transferring files via USB. There is, however, Kies Air. This has been such a lifesaver!!! You can transfer files to and from your phone, and I have transferred Zeus and Aeon to my SD card through Kies Air. I installed Aeon on my phone no problem and it is working flawlessly You only need to download the Kies Air app to your phone. No special drivers, apps, or software is needed for your computer. If anyone has any questions on how to do this, you can PM me or just post on here.

Doesn't help much when he is only able to go to download mode, or sick at Samsung screen. I was having a similar issue. Odin was not recognizing my device but heimdall 1 click worked like a charm. Give that a shot, let me know how that works out for you.

im having exact same problem...
i got it connected to my friends laptop and i flashed infusion kernel 1.0 through odin.. it failed..
and now i can't even get to download mode.. it only shows pc!computer image/..
I have had this problem a lot too. I believe that the problem is with the cable from Samsung. It's crap. Just by chance I noticed that my friend's Kindle cable had the same usb plug. I tried that and it hasn't disconnected once.

GTG...Good To Go....LOL
Try different usb cables and different ports on your computer. I have three ports on my laptop. One wouldn't connect with Odin, one would connect but would stop half way through the process, and the last one finally made it through.
Other than that you could try heimdall. And then try switching called and ports with that. You just have to keep trying and eventually it usually works. The last option is to buy a usb jig. That will give it a much better chance of getting a good connection.

Here is the situation, I tried to flash a stock Skyrocket with CWM via Odin, and Odin keeps saying write failed. I then tried different USB ports, restarted the computer many times but still no luck.
This computer flashed SGS3 and Hercules before with no issue. I've also tried different USB cable. Now whenever I book the phone it said i need to connect to Kies to update. I can't even get into the stock recovery. The only thing i can get into is Download mode but Odin will not flash anything. How can I resolve this?
Please help!
Thank you.
RESOLVED:
I flashed the wrong ROM =D The phone is AT&T Galaxy S2. I kept thinking it was called the Skyrocket hence i download the wrong rom and recovery. That explained why Odin wont flash! After a while i realized the i-727 on the rom doesnt match the i-777 from my phone
You got lucky, really lucky. Flashing a ROM for the wrong phone is usually a hard brick. Read the ROM threads and make absolutely certain you're flashing a ROM for the right phone the right way before doing so.
Hey there guys, this is my first post on this site after looking around for about the last 2 hours. My phone was stuck in a boot loop, (samsung screen) I found instructions on another post on this site of how to use ODIN to repair this. I put my phone into download mode ( the yellow droid shoveling screen) and began the flashing process, everything seemed to be working fine until my dog runs by and pulls the cord out. Now my phone keeps flashing the [phone]..!..[PC] screen with the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery in keis & try again. connecting and disconnecting to my PC about every 2 seconds it what appears to be an endless loop.. I can no longer enter download mode. I have tried the Heimdall but it simply reads connected then disconnected 2 seconds later in what seems to be an endless loop. So in heimdall or ODIN by the time i am able to read the device and begin the process it has already disconnected. if anyone could lend any assistance it would be greatly appreciated as im sure i could find a much more attractive paperweight for the price i payed for this phone.
Thanks in advance.
Try restarted your PC that screen your seeing on your phone is download mode.Also try different USB port and cord.Also reinstall the drivers for the phone.PCs do some strange things sometimes usually reinstall the drivers will fix the problem.Good luck.

Thanks for the response, I have tried uninstalling keis and uninstalling the drivers through the device manager. I searched my hard drive and could not find any files related before i installed them again. the phone is still power-cycling itself while showing this screen. connecting and disconnecting from my computer.
Honestly I never use kies I just download the drivers and reinstall them.Use Odin or heimdal to flash back to stock then odin entropy kernel then I'm ready to go.Hold both volumes then plug in these programs should read it.I also use a jig comes in handy.Also my PC acts up with the USB ports I end up having to plug in to the back usbs on the motherboard my front ones are iffy.

My phone
MODEL: SGH-T959V

When i plug in my phone to the USB jack , the computer doesnt recognize it. i tried installing drivers . there was no Help.
I wanted to go back to the stock rom.
I wanted to know whether there is a method to go back to stock ROM without using ODIN (Without using PC, without plugging the phone to PC)
PLEASE HELP
Search if there is a stock cwm flashable rom in your phone forum section...If there is one , download it to your sd card and then flash it in cwm..
Search and learn all that stuff..

Right, if you scroll half-way down the OP of that thread, you'll see:

That is the stock one click. Don't confuse that with the One-Clicks in the second post, which are rooted oneclicks.
EDIT: don't forget to read the instructions like 200 times first. Make sure you totally understand what each step is and that you follow them.
Well, had I read the OP...

Heimdall will use the same methods as ODIN, just a different application.
Try a different usb cable. Try a different computer. try and track all permutations of combinations of cables and computers. Make sure you don't use FrontPanel usb connectors.
EDIT: to answer the question in the title of the OP, No. You cannot flash bootloaders without being in download mode, which you need to go back to "total stock" (say for a return).
Also you can try uninstalling the drivers and re-installing them..
I have had to do this before..
Sometimes the computer doesn't
want to recognize the device..
I don't know why but it happens.

This may be another case of broken usb connector on the phone itself. I've had to repair mine before and I recently sent back 2 phones that T-Mobile sent me as replacements both with broken usb connectors. The last thing to go is charging. Usually what happened to me was it won't talk to my computer or sometimes when I plugged it in to the charger when it was turned off it would randomly go into download mode.
