Weird. Battery pull, button combo (as stated in the wiki) not working either? Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
followed every button combo I could think of including battery pull but when i'm home I'll try a different port someone told me that the port closest to the mother board and CPU words best

Ok. Yank the battery. put battery in phone. Hold vol + and -. Plug Phone into USB. DL mode. YAY!
tried that it only takes me to recovery i got the computer recognising it the problem is only ODIN and ADB and The Non Existance Of a Download mode or so it seems thus Far and wont know for sure until i can get ADB working Any idea if their is Seperate ADB drivers that i can download
If you are doing what was posted above - what does the screen look like that you are calling recovery? And I assume you ARE only holding both volume buttons and NOT the power button?
Problem solved aparently it had something to do with my sim card and SD card i took them both out and odin came around to the dark side

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

Got a little question, any help would be verrry appreciated, uh I flashed cm9 on my infuse 4g from a red cwm and when I rebooted it got stuck on the samsung boot like it said it does, I battery pulled n retried it but it didnt boot up, so I booted into cwm recov. and it was all messed up, like a scrambled TV channel... I can't see anything, I tried to restore a backup just like from memory but it didnt work, I'm not sure which cwm version is used on cm9, but then I try to put it into odin mode and it doesnt go, can't connect to the cpu, doesnt go into odin mode, jus goes str8 to samsung screen and freezes. Anyone got any ideas? The scrambled cwm, from what I can make out, looks like its the one with the grey background... ne1 kno if thats the recovery cm9 comes with? Maybe I could restore my backup if I knew exactly how many times to press the volume up & down rockers and all that... idk. Again, any input'd b much appreciated

Sounds like you're still on GB bootloader..use Heimdall One Click by Qkster once flashed and return to stock GB rom then repeat procedure with tick mark on Flash Bootloader after that flash Entropy's kernel (all provided in the link) to get into red cwm then you can flashed your ICS rom after that.

Typo...I'm sure you meant he's not on GB boot loaders
Also to use Odin/heimdal you have to go to download mode not recovery
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up+down and plug in USB with out pressing power button
4) run Odin/heimdall

Don't remember exactly and don't have a windows computer in front of me
But, plug your phone as if you were going to download mode
Don't unplug it even if it doesn't go to DL mode
Go to "my computer"
I think you go to system properties
There should be a thing under system properties for hardware, drivers or it might be advanced...don't really remember
Locate the infuse under usb ...it will probably be gadget serial, or something like that...to ease the process disconnect all other USB that way only your phone shows up
Double click it that should open up a window of the driver settings
Uninstall the drivers
Unplug your phone, go to the ISET page which is sticked in the dev section and download the infuse drivers (don't use kies...)
Its not necessary but i like to reboot after installing new drivers
Now try to connect to download mode
Good luck, I'll try and clarify those steps later

Jscott has a gb bootloaders only odin pack that you can also flash if you feel positive about using Odin.
Be careful, a bad bootloader flash is the only thing that can really brick your phone for good.

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 been unable to get into recovery so far...
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.

Not the topic, but JIG in "tinydeal . com" costs just 1.17 dollars with free shipping. Cheaper never found.
So i was going thru in flashing the stock rom through odin but my dog layed on my surge protector and turned off my PC (i know...) so i ended up getting stuck on a "failed firmware connect to keis in recovery mode" or something similar. So i couldnt get into the downloading screen. Everytime i restarted it would go directly to that screen.
Well something happened and i ended up on a new sceen showing the battery logo but it wasnt moving, just frozen. I figured it was a dead battery so i let it charge overnight. I woke up and i was still on the battery screen but i tryed to get into the download screen and i could.
So now im here can i flash the stock firmware using odin?
I cant get oast rhe samunsg logo if i try to boot normally so i figured i just need all the firmware reflashed?

Recently my power button took a crap on me, and about the same time I noticed j cannot boit into recovery. I've tried multiple different ways, and every time it just boot loops. Shows me the Samsung logo then a black screen and repeats forever. The only way I can get out of the loop is to pull battery and enter download mode then reboot. I've tried reinstalling the newest recovery again also. Anyone have any bright ideas? I can't wipe anything or install anything new, and I'm getting frustrated. :banghead:
Thank you ahead of time

Load goo.im from the market, flash twrp, then use the app to reboot to recovery?
You can use Quick Boot app, which lets you go to recovery using single click shortcut/widget

"Adb reboot recovery" from your computer or go into terminal in your phone and "su" then "reboot recovery"

Which recovery are you actively using (or trying to)? If its cwm, are you sure you got the right one for our phone? Download ROM manager and let it flash the correct cwm and then try rebooting if that still doesn't work odin the phone to stock, reroot and attempt again

I sent my GS3 in with the same problem. The phone power button started to do crazy things and would not stay in download mode or in recovery mode long enough to flash anything. They are sending it back fixed today. Samsung knows about the motherboard going bad on these devices but they wont tell you about it.

How long of a turn around was it? I think that is the only solution. Also, did you deal with samsung directly? What did you tell them?

Yup called them directly. I told them that it was rooted but had a hardware problem. They told me that I can send it in since it was still under manufacturers warranty and they would tell me if it could be fixed. Sent it in on May 28th. Just got email that they are sending it back fixed.

Wish I saw this earlier. But the easiest way to boot into recovery without a power button is using terminal emulator.
Type in
Su
Reboot recovery
Same can be done for download mode.
Edit: nevermind, this was already mentioned.

so i tried to revert back to stock last night using odin and something went terribly wrong. still believe it is due to my power button. i got one section as failed and one as passed in odin. the phone shut off at the end and said it was rebooting, but it never did. eventually i unplugged it and tried to get it on with no luck. if i pull the battery and reinsert it, the phone vibrates, and i get a screen that says "Samsung, custom" with and unlocked pad lock. i have never seen this screen before. i also can only get to download mode for about 2-3 seconds before the screen goes black again. So i cannot retry the process, i now have a brick. Anyone have any suggestions? i was going to send it back to samsung today, but i don't believe they will touch it in this state.
reading up on hard bricks, and mine doesn't seem to be quite that since i can get into download mode. It just doesn't stay there, the screen turns off after a few seconds. obviously not long enough to odin. any help would be GREATLY appreciated. i now have no phone... this shall be interesting with the lady friend :laugh:

As long as you get into download mode you're still ok. Send it into samsung and tell them your issue with the power button. They will fix your hardware issue and will load the stock rom back onto your phone.
I don't think they care as long as your phone isn't hard bricked. I'm sure they use odin anyways to update every phone that comes out of their service center.
Can anyone confirm this is correct?
