Stuck at battery while phone is off.

Well me being the idiotic adventurous person. I tried to CWM my phone to ICBINB, and so everything went through ya know. then I rebooted. it got stuck once again. Now it won't go into dl mode or recovery. when i plug the usb it goes straight to the sign with the battery, but even that got stuck. so i tried adb reboot download and the device isn''t found. So did I like screw myself over? the only way for me to get to the Samsung GalaxyS 4G Screen is without the usb. So anyhelp on how i can fix this.

Did you try getting into recovery i.e.,hold volume up + volume down + power until recovery comes up. If you made any backups and you can get into recovery sometimes you can reboot a saved backup.

Also to get into DL mode hold volume up + volume down and while holding plug USB into your phone keep holding volume buttons till giant triangle appears

Even if the chargin battery comes up keep holding the volume buttons? cause the battery you know how it's suppose to charge with the green. Mines stuck it has the loading circle and the battery picture is blank. so it's like stuck there, should i just keep holding those buttons? and i've tried alot of methods already so far none have worked. I really don't want to have to buy another phone.

Pull the battery and then try getting it into download mode

Had the same.problem.as you. Gingerbread bootloaders.
open odin on your pc and connect the usb to your phone. Pull the battery and hold volume down + power button and put battery in as your holding those two

Actually no. I tried using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593 and I literally did everything precisely, then i rebooted. then i came across this horrible problem. So I don't really know if it was GB. but what rom are you using?
I figured i'll just cut my losses and stick to KC1 Stock +Root Froyo 2.2.1

Try what Ricky said that's what meant pull battery hold volume buttons plug in USB then put battery back in. You're soft bricked you can get out of this. This is why you have to read read read. Always start where it says READ THIS FIRST when your joining a new forum. Do yourself a favor and check out the Bible in this forum its packed with everything you need. In the meantime I'll try to help you out the best I can but I have to go to work in a half hour.

Hahaha Ricky was right I was able to get into ODIN, and now I'm gonna flash back to KC1 . If I'm going to flash a ROM i'm doing it ODIN style. I'm a failure at CWM.

Right now I'm running dsexton's ICBINB rom. I was running krylon's Black Ice

Odin is a safe way to go. Happy flashing ;-)

Thanks steelain!
AND STEELAIN WHAT!? HOW ARE YOU USING THAT!?!?!
I TRIED DOING IT AND I FAILED. omg, fml. what did you do? Like Exact steps i need to know what I did wrong.

Flash using the noobs guide to odin found in the bible thread guide section, but instead of downloading kb5 from that thread, grab the stock deodexed kc1 from the odin rom section of the bible. Get into download mode by pulling out your battery, pressing both volume buttons and plugging in the usb cord.
I kept telling you to read the bible thread and the directions in each thread! But this is a soft brick and you can fix it, so it will be ok. Search for the bible thread! SEARCH!! Know what you are doing before you make a change. Just odin for now and get that running. I can give you very specific directions in a bit on how to flash a rom. Let us know how it goes
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

Dont' worry i already flashed it back to the rom you suggested (KC1 Deodexed) what im fine with ODIN, i know how to use it. what im struggling on is the ICBINB Final ROM that Team Acid released. I've tried it twice to get installed and ive failed each time. because it won't get passed the dang splash screen where it says Samsung GalaxyS 4G, and you cant use odin with it. it has to be CWM i believe

Are you on red cmw? Chances are your not so you have to check your mounts on recovery very important probably causing your brick

Phone reboots/hangs on splash screen

I really would appreciate some input on this.. I was on NexusMod ICS for about two days before I woke up one morning to find that my phone had rebooted and was stuck at the splash screen. I tried pulling the battery and powering it on but got the same result, so I tried to get into CWM and couldn't. It would boot to recovery but not long enough to actually do anything, so I ODIN'd stock rom and CWM then flashed AOKP build 38 instead of NexusMod. Everything was fine for a few days but this morning I woke up to my phone stuck on the splash screen again, only this time when I pulled the battery and powered it on, it booted up fine, but my wallpaper had changed (weird).. So I really don't have a clue why this would happen, but I'd appreciate some help, and TIA!

Yes, that's a good idea, but wouldn't you think it would be an app that's causing it since it happened on two very different roms? Or am I way off in my thinking?

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.

no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.

[Q] Official Gingerbread 2.3.6 to Froyo 2.2.1 Need Help!

I have the Infuse and I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini and the update from samsung. Upon downloading it and using it for a few days I absoutely hate it and would like to go back to Froyo 2.2.1. I have searched and searched through thread after thread and I have found no solution to this problem due to the fact that you can not root the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 and seems like this is a common problem with no real answer. I have an idea and im no expert but thats why I am here for the help. My girl also has an Infuse and she is still running the Froyo. My question to all of you is there a way to use her phone with the original Froyo OS and transfer it to My Infuse with Gingerbread OS or does anyone know of a solution to the rooting problem with 2.3.6? Thanks for your time.

Read this thread and choose the method best suited for you. Personally, I have always found that Odin is easier to use.

Thanks so much for the help I kind of feel dumb now. I figured out the reason Odin couldn't recognize my device was because of the USB cable. I switched the cable and bam it worked... thanks for taking the time to guide me in the right direction.

How do you not like gingerbread? Copy and paste. Smoother. More options. More apps work. Etc...
If you hate gingerbread don't go to jellybean they really rearrange the buttons on top of the new features.

Gingerbread made my lock screen not work properly and some of the features I didn't like so I'm running 4.0.4 and so far I love it.
