Hate to say it but you may be up the creek on that one. Hopefully someone more advanced than I can revive your phone.

But dont you think that is there something that i can do or try?
I am really worried

Not sure why you tried another phones rom on your phone. It is hard bricked because of the wrong bootloaders. Over at rootzwiki, I read that there was a chance to revive it from a hard brick. Take a look at it. Also, there was someone here that fixes hard bricks for a fee. Search hard brick and it's in one of the threads. the user name starts with a c.

Try these steps:
1) Open Odin, plug the usb cable into your computer but NOT the phone
2) Do a battery pull
3) put the battery back in
4) hold vol + and -
5) Plug the USB cable into your phone
See if Odin recognized your phone. You should see com# in a yellow box on the middle left of the screen. If you can get that far find an Odin rom for the phone in these forums and you might be lucky enough to be able to revive the phone.

Semi Brick Infuse 4G

Hello XDA Family, My Infuse is currently semi bricked; Phone--Triangle--Computer.
I've tried all the methods to boot it into download mode and even tried the usb jig and it's still not booting up.
Any recommendations?
Thank you so much !

That screen you are looking at is still download mode...its like an sos version of download....if the correct drivers are installed on your computer for the infuse then plug your phone in while having odin open, and flash one of the odin back to stock packages....it should still recognize your phone

Atm, It's not recognizing my phone. Does the ID:COM matter for Odin when flashing with it?

Yes...it shoukd say #comm#4 or 5(mine says 5) higlighted in yellow...make sure the correct drivers are installed

I have Samsung Kies installed ( not sure if that's the driver needed ) . I plugged my phone into my computer with Odin on and it's not recognizing my phone ( no #comm#4 or 5 )

Sometimes it takes quite a few times before it recognizes the phone.

Pull battery plug in USB cord hold volume buttons while inserting battery should boot into download mode.

If it aint working try heimdall. If niether of them recognize it, then give up and send it in for jtag (is money, but im sending mine in because mine will not connect to anything no joke). If nothing works, ask me for their link lol.

Try using different USB ports too.

Thank you all for the love and support ! I've done all the methods mentioned and got nothing so far. What should be my next step?

Seriously? Then jtag i guess... what happened? In my case, jtag is a must.

I was using hemidall to restore my phone and during the process, the usb wire accidentally unplugged...That's gotta be the most interesting way to get bricked..Question is, How to "Jtag" ?

I had this issue. I couldn't get my top of the line Dell PC to recognize the phone on any port at all. So I tried my old Dell laptop... worked first try.
Do you have access to a different computer? If you have a PC search for GTG and fine GTGs ultimate unbrick. Follow the instructions even though your phone doesn't appear to be in download mode.
It worked for me.
Just my 2¢

Try this...( I'm not sure but...)
1. Install mobile drivers on pc and open Odin.exe
2. Connect phone to pc. Remove the battery.
3. Now, hold down VOLUME(-) and HOME key and POWER key together to get download mode.
4. While holding these 3 keys, (and your phone stll connected to pc) insert the battery.
Now Odin should detect your phone. If still it doesn't , then take it to the center.
If odin detects phone, flash the official firmware.
Hope it helps.

From personal experience...
I had the same issue with my old GFit. Tried everything! But no luck. Even builded a homemade jig and nothing. On anyway i try to get it to download mode the screen remains off. But i noticed that odin detects it but when i try to flash the stock firmware it says "cannot stablish connection". Also i took it to a store that fix phones and they said that they have a box or something for this kind of cases but no luck... So i got sick of it and bought another one cheap and lightly used...
Wish this is not your case

hi Ajay
can u pl. update the procedure by wch u recovered your phone, as it will behelpfull to many others..
a guy Manpreet is facing the similar issue.
It wud be a gr8 help.
pl update it in detail
Many Thanx

Dear friends
The process is bit typical here you need a jtag box and jtag cable. Basically in case of bricking boot file gets corrupted/ damaged. The jtag cable is inserted beneath the battery after removing the sticker beneath battery for boot repairing I advise you to look for suppliers of jtag box from their official site.
And then contact the local jtag box owner. Apart from that there is no other option. I have tried ODIN Multi Downloader it was not getting any response from mobile as mobile was not going into download mode. I tried jig cable too but it was not unsuccessful
After a month I checked jtag box site and got the address of their Delhi dealer and then I got my boot repaired and downgraded to Froyo.

Bricked Device is not recognized by windows.

Hi,
I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V).
I tried flashing it with a few kernels and roms and suddenly i got my screen always flashing.. (like all LED was up and running )...
Decided to flash again, and my phone went brick.
My phone wont respond to anything , and when i connect it to the computer the computer wont recognize it.
I brought a USB jig to reset it and get to Download Mode. i actually enter Download mode but the computer still dont recognize the device.
I've tried all kind of drivers ( Samsung Kies, and more ) but i got another SGH-T959V which the computer actually recognize, but only my brick device wont get recognize...
what could i do? ( I have no warranty and i bought the device abroad... so returning to samsung isn't a real possibility )

What did you use to flash? Odin?
I had a bad time with Odin
Especially that I got one of those devices that can't enter download mode. But that was in the past, I have a refurbished T959V direct from Samsung
If you haven't tried Heimdall, you should try it and maybe Zadig has the right drivers.

Yeah, i tried heimdall with zadig.. it doesnt recognize my device :\

If you can get to Download Mode, did you try 1-Click Gremlin Remover? It has saved me from a soft brick a few times after I have flashed and reflashed over and over again. Here is the thread, but looks like Thomas.Raines had to pull the file from DropBox due to issues. You might touchbase with him and see if he can give you a link to a copy on a mirror site. It is a great lifesaver. The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427

The main issue is that my computer wont recognize the device! this particular one, since the other galaxy S 4G i have get recognize fine!
I will try the one click you showed.. but im guessing it wont do the trick.

Don't you love it when you CLEARLY state that your phone WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED BY THE COMPUTER but yet people instantly start telling you to do things that require you being connected to your computer. Lmao. Did you try different usb cords, different usb ports, or even a different computer? You can download a program called usb diag and use that to COMPLETELY remove the drivers and re-install them and see if that works.

Joshhayes801 - Thanks for the reply.
I have another Galaxy S 4G which get's recognized great..
I even removed all drivers, re-installed kies, mini kies etc...
The other Galaxy S 4G i have get's recognized very well... only this device is not.
i've tried all ports. (not different cord since i do not have another one ) .. and changed drivers all day long.
I used usb JIG to get to Download mode ( its the only way... ) and still get's "Not recognized" ...

There was a guy who said recently he really had to jam the USB cable into his phone for it to get recognized by zadig. Maybe yours is finicky like that too

My old SGS4G was like this, turns out it had a messed up usb port, it was all loose and ****. At that point the phone was under warranty so I got a new one. Maybe your usb port on the phone is jacked. Just a thought. Seems nothing else is working. You can find a usb port on eBay and repair it or if you have insurance send it in for a new phone or a repair.

No download mode & recovery mode means you bricked your phone. Only one way to fix your phone & that also if you soft bricked your phone is USB jig. read all info from this thread http://www.xda-developers.com/android/need-a-samsung-usb-jig-build-your-own/
Thanks me if it helped.

I came across same problems as mine with different phones and it is said that it can't be fixed with usb jig. I am looking for usb jig or 300k ohm registers to make my own jig. Are you sure usb jig fixes the problem?

USB jig is a way which will force the phone to boot into download mode. now you have to flash with a rom using odin. I will prefer stock rom now. Try it. Good luck....

i made the jig with two 150k resistors. but it doesn't work on the bricked one. With the rest handsets it works perfectly. Any other solutions except going to samsung service center? Need some answers from pros.

That is you have hard bricked your phone.
If you think you have made the JIG correctly and it is working in another devices i.e booting into download mode, then there has no another way, you have to visit samsung care. without recovery or download mode you cant repair a bricked phone at home. best of luck

if you are in warranty the you don't need to be worried
