Need Help With Bricked Phone - Samsung Infuse 4G

My infuse is running the latest version of revelation.
So basically my infuse was being really screwy and it somehow ended up getting bricked. So I began to take all the steps to unbrick it, but the problem is my phone doesn't connect to USB, so it isn't recognized by odin. The USB hasen't been working for a while. I've tried different cords, different computers and i can't seem to get it to work. So now I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions?

Can you phone boot into download mode?

Have you tried cleaning the pins on the USB connector?

Sorry for not replying right away.
So I am able to get into download mode, and i did clean the USB connector.
It won't turn on, and it just blinks every couple seconds when it's plugged in. So my problem is that the USB won't work. I've tried heimdall, odin, many drivers, nothing seems to work.

try using different cables, ports, or even computers

[Q] USB not working after Froyo

After I installed Froyo on my Captivate, USB is not working. When I connect it to my Win7/64 and Vista/32, I get the "USB device not recognized" on the computers, regardless if I am in USB debugging or not. I reinstalled the Kies s/w in the hopes that the drivers would then recognize the Captivate, but that doesn't work. So obviously USB tethering and Mass Storage are not working. Has anyone else had this problem and how can it be fixed? Thx in advance!
Have you tried mounting the phone in debugging mode? This has always worked for making the drives accessible.

Yep, I stated above that I tried with debugging on and off, and it didn't matter. Usually the phone would mount differently with it on or off, but now it's just not recognized. Very strange...
have you tried using a different usb port? i was having the same problem and got it to work when using a different usb slot
I'm having the same problem. It also often decides not to recognize when I've plugged it in to charge. Used 2 different usb cables, 3 different usb ports on my tower, usb ports on 2 different laptops, and plugged in using the stock usb cable/charger combo. I'd like to flash a new rom, but obviously that's not an option for me right now. It double sucks, cuz I just did a factory reset. I also tried the above suggestions to no avail
EDIT: When I unplug the phone while charging (once I finally get it to recognize that it's hooked up and should be charging), it still shows the battery icon as being charged
same problem. sort of getting mad. i have tried lots of stuff. un install re install drivers a couple times now. both pre select and post select usb modes on the phone well any way lots of stuff. all the usb plugs, tryed putting the plug in the pooter first then the phone on all ports. phone with sim in/out all ports and memory card in/out all ports i reall want to try darky's rom. as sweet as xxxbunker.com is with flash on the phone, i would trade it back for 2.1 so i can use my headphone jack for speaker phone again. please some one help
#edit: my wifes phone still works fine on mounting with the vista pooter. she still has 2.1#

Can't connect to pc-USB not recognized, unknown device

I have been searching for about a week now and still can't figure this problem out. I bought this phone used about a month ago and I haven't tried to connect it to my pc until just recently. I am wanting to root and unlock my phone but I can't connect to pc using usb cord although it will charge it.
I am on GB 2.3.6 vuvkj6, stock.
I have tried 4 different usb cords, 4 different pc/laptops and all usb ports. I have also installed and uninstalled several usb drivers with no luck.
My phone can only get into download mode using a jig. Even in download mode, I can't connect to pc. I have tried using Heimdall, Odin, and kies but it just does not connect.
If I can use a jig to get it into dl mode, does that mean the phones usb port is fine?
I just want to be able to connect with pc. Is it possible to flash using my sdcard? I am thinking maybe the phone is missing something to pick up the usb signal or something.
I am lost, any help would be appreciated.
Maybe, I think it's a phone issue.
Do you still have a warranty?
I bought this phone used, so no warranty. If the jig works, does that mean the usb port is ok?
Does the phone charge when plugged in? Have you tried to go ahead and flash even though it says not recognized?
ligitalipeople
Yes the phone does charge when plugged in. I can't flash using Heimdall or Odin. Any other way of flashing?
I have also put the phone into debug mode with no luck.
Have you done a factory reset?
Yes, I have done a factory reset.
FINALLY! I got it to work.
Can you post back here and tell us what you did to get it working in case someone else has the issue?
Thanks and glad you got it going!
I am not sure what made it work for me. But what I did was "clear memory" on ram. I don't remember how I got onto that screen but I clicked on ram and clear memory.
I then pushed the usb into the pc a few times really fast until pc showed somethnig other than "usb device not recognized". Pc then started to show device connected.
if you are using windows i have found that sometimes the usb ports u used for the phone get stuck to the driver that was there in the first place. So what I do to fix this is go into device manager from the control panel and then uninstall the drivers for the specific port that I am trying to use. While keeping my phone unplugged from the computer I then reinstall the samsung drivers, restart my computer and then try to plug my phone in. 90% of the time that has been what works for me.
Ok, I figured out the problem. It has nothing to do with the drivers or clearing ram memory. My problem is the actual micro usb connection. If is a little loose from side to side and when I push it to one side, it connects no problem.
That is the exact same thing that happened to my wife's phone... luckily it was still under warranty...

My phone is out of warranty. At least now I know the problem. It was extremely frustrating trying to figure it out.

Phone not being seen by any PC

So this issue started a few days ago. Any time I plugged my phone in it would constantly connect and disconnect from the pc. I've tried multiple usb cables, ports, and the 3 PCs I have with the same result on each. Now when I plug it in, it is no longer being recognized by the PC, Odin, ADB, etc... It will charge but that is it.
I have a warranty replacement coming to me however I need to be able to get this one back to stock... Any suggestions?
Before anyone asks, NO it has never been wet, dropped, damaged in any way, set on fire, caught in a land slide, earthquake, what have you.. The phone itself functions perfectly fine. All drivers are up to date, none of my PCs configurations have changed. I have one I use specifically for app development and not even that one will see the phone.
I had the same problem. I used a different cable and it all worked better....now with that said it happened again so I flashed my phone back to stock and all was well.
Then went to flashing ROMS.

Really check out the micro usb cable. A bad cable will just about always allow a device to charge, but data transfer is another story. If you really have tried a few micro USB cables, then it the problem relies elsewhere. Try restarting both phone and PC, and if neither works, sounds like you have a busted port on the Skyrocket.
Thank you both for your responses. I am a PC technician so I followed my usual troubleshooting steps to figure this out. I narrowed it down to either all of my cables are bad (not a chance) or the phone is just f**ked (likely). Ah well ill have to try to use another way to force the stock firmware and recovery on here. Lol
HTC = Hate The Consumer
I use my old Nokia OEM USB cable. Connects with the right number of pins on the USB connection end. I'd check your USB cables for # of pins . Skyrocket uses 5 I believe. Also that there is sufficient power to your USB ports. Aka avoid front USB ports which could only be 4 pin....

When you plug the usb cable in, do you see the usb icon at the top left of your screen? I have to pull that window down to tell it to connect to pc, then confirm it again before mine connects. Mine doesn't auto connect on its own.
I see you've been a member for a few years so if its not connecting, that really sucks man. Hope you get it figured out.

Not running the AOKP ROM are you? The R3 build had an issue with this, and all AOKP will disable USB to PC if you enable 'fast charge' under ROM Control...
Good luck :S
According to what I've been reading you can try using the *#7284# code and setting the USB portion from PDA to MODEM and then back to PDA and it would kickstart the connection. No dice for me though. Ive been through 7 different USB cables already.. I am not about to go and buy one just to keep playing with it my other phones connect just fine using the same cables. No, I am running the latest Sky ICS

Infuse won't connect to my computer

I've searched the forum, read a couple threads I found, but didn't help. I have a samsung infuse, it will not connect for mass storage, heimdall doesn't see the phone either. The phone shows it's charging when it's connected to my computer, although there have been a few times it didn't show charging, but did actually charge.
I have tried different USB ports, different USB cables, 2 different pc's, and a MAC. I've deleted all samsung software and drivers, reinstalled everything, deleted everything again, installed just the drivers. All with the same results.
I can't get the phone to go into download mode either.
I'm currently running Scott's CM10 8/16 with inverted gapps
Any ideas?
I have a similar problem except rom. Wont connect to kies, mass storage, or anything phone charges and is recognized. Tried multiple ports cords always the same thing and a window pops up on windows saying error connecting.
This is since i got my replacement.
Phone came with 2.3.6 gingerbread.
Not rooted hence cant connect to computer.

Try gently moving the usb cable end where it plugs into the phone.
I did all that
Sounds like a bad usb port. Look to see if there's any dirt in either of the connectors.

Phone Won't Recognize Computer

Or my computer won't recognize my phone... not sure which.
Anyway, when I plug the phone into my computer it still charges, but I don't get the option to use it as a mass storage device, so I can't transfer files between phone and computer.
I got a new usb cord about two months ago and it worked up until now, so I don't think it's the cord.
I've tried taking out the SIM card and battery, restarting phone/computer, installing KIES, toggling USB debugging... not sure what else to try.
Anyone else ever have this problem?
Go into device manager on the pc with the phone plug in. There will be a usb port with an exclamation mark on it. Manually update the driver to android adb interface.

Ok I just tried that... I don't see any exclamation marks anywhere.
I tried reinstalling the drivers from Samsung's website and that didn't work either.

Your pc isn't recognizing that your device is connected at all. It's not a driver issue. It's either the usb cord or the usb port on your phone that's not working
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Hmm alright... I'll buy another cord and see if that works... thanks.
@jd1639 nailed it, imo. You've either got a bad cord or a bad port. I'd try a different USB port first, and if that doesn't solve it, you know you've got a bad cord.
This seems to be a funny issue cause now all of a sudden it's working... not sure what happened. It could have been installing the driver and then restarting my computer, or playing around with USB debugging again.
I've read other places of guys trying different cords, etc and nothing working, and then they just take their battery out and back in and then it's working again. So ya no idea.
