I finally managed to do it. I officially bricked my Infuse. No clue how I did it but it's finally borked for good. Cant access download mode when I try nothing happens. Used 4 different computers, 5 different cords and approx 23 different USB slots. 3 different batteries(just incase it was a bad battery) Nothing haha. Infuse is completely dead!.... My backup infuse is pretty messed up as well (screen is cracked all to hell) This happened after I Heimdall'd my phone phone to clean the slate. It booted up, then bootlopped once then just didnt turn on again.
i would try letting it sit with the battery out overnight then giving it a shot again, also try differnt tools like gtg unbrick
also try using a usb jig
(i once messed mine up badly enough that when you put in in download mode it was a black screen with red green and blue dots on it, using gtg unbrick fixed it for me !
fingers crossed that itll come back to life for ya.
if you didnt open it, crack the screen, or drop it in water, att will replace it under warranty. give em a call tomorrow at 18008011101. have your iemi ready.

The batteries been out for a bit now gonna leave it out and put it in tomorrow see if maybe that does something. If anything theres a couple Infuse 4G's on Craigslist for pretty cheap. And if this one doesnt end up working, I'll throw it up on there for parts, might be useful to someone.
Also I dont have an actuall plan with AT&T so thats a no go haha

Yeah, after paying a $200 deductable. That's how much it would have been to replace my stolen infuse even under warranty.
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then
Dont give up hope... if you didnt flash any bootloaders i dont think its bricked
this looks almost like what happened to me last night..
Odined to stock only to find phone booting up to nothing just a black
screen... i thought i was done for good but i kept trying and one of the times
odin managed to see the device...
even with a completaly black screen it still booted up to "download mode"
even tho i couldnt see that particular screen
i ran odin and it booted up fine
keep trying buddy dont lose hope

if it is that might as well take the whole motherboard and switch it out right??
if you know how to do all that of course
but good luck to you and hopefully its nothing major
warranty is different than insurance. even if you buy it off contract or from someone else, you should still have the warranty. they provide 1 year for all branded phones. its only been on sale for 11 months so everyone should be under warranty.

If your cracked screen infuse still works then I would just swap out the internals. Should be easy enough. I did it to my wife's phone.. screen cracked and we had an identical backup phone that my daughter played with. Swapped out the boards and all was well.

I thought I did something similar but then tried a different method of reverting back to stock & it worked.
It wasn't going into download mode either and the screen was all pixilated but it worked. Maybe try a different method of reverting back to stock (gtg unbrick)

This is a simple fix if your able to follow directions with the jig. Relax and breath, and go to radio shack. No need to brainstorm here...

You must not want you phone to work again. Keep trying and be patient, it took me a little while when I first came up with the resistor method.
Use a desk lamp and/or a magnifying glass to see the prongs better.

Well if your getting past the att world phone screen it could be a kernel issue, use a jig it'll work, if your not getting to the kernels's boot screen then take it to the "service center" not the rep that sold you the device if you cant get the jig to work, and if you got it from amazon and you purchased a two year account up/new take it to the service center att's service center supports all contract devices for one year no matter the retailer you purchased from (minus the iphone heh "droid food")so take it in if the phone dosn't get past the att world phone screen. if it dose use a jig flash to stock if your still having issues after a "Passed" stock flash take it in, and if you got to the reset part when flashing stock and failed.

No luck with the jig as of now. Will try using the Igo adapter later today. Managed to borrow an iphone from a friend and yeah Android FTMFW.
Well my captivate is repaired. I didn't think it was possible but Josh Groce of the famed rom in a flash review videos was able to fix it for me.
Price is great and turn around time, atleast for my phone was awesome.
You can find more info at mobiletechreview.com
It is well worth the time it takes to contact him. Chances are if you have bricked your phone he will be able to fix it for you and it's a lot cheaper than buying a new phone.
I can't say enough good things about him and his work, he is a brilliant young man and we should all be thankful that he is a part of the xda community and wants to help people. I don't believe he does it for the money, off he did he would charge alot more than he does.
I hope this helps some of you that are in a bind with your phone, he certainly helped me.
Thanks Josh, for saving my phone.

How did you brick it?
Your phone wasn't bricked if a jig fixed your problem.
P.s. you can't make jigs yourself for $5. That's not buying the supplies at a bulk discount. Takes approximately 1 minute to make when you have everything you need in front of you. So charging 8-10$ is actually a huge profit. Say 3$ Evey minute you work times 60 minutes in an hour. $180 an hour for what equates to monkey work. Not to shabby.
Edit: yes I oversimplified the process and math to exaggerate my opinion. Point remains the same.
I don't think he was talking about a jig. Probably he had to have his flashed.
His videos r helpful. But I would like to know how u bricked it and what he did to unbrick it...did he just gave u a jig? or changed something in the hardware? I am bricking a lot lately...would be great to take his help...
Don't quote me. But I think be is talking about a jtag type flash

Pretty sure it involved a riff box and removing the motherboard. That's the only way to recover a completely bricked phone.
How long did shipping take? I ask because I ordered a jig from him a while ago to have just in case and I ail don't have it...
I was able to get into d/l mode with a jig but it would just shut itself off basically. Josh worked some magic on it for me.
I bricked it going back to stock from cm7. Like a dummy I didn't follow the directions.
It was truly fubared, before it started shutting off I was getting different colored screens. Green, blue, purple, then all black. This happened each time I tried to use odin to flash stock again.
To me his work was well worth it, now I can take this p.o.s atrix back and wait for the sgs2 or infuse to come out.

To be honest I'm not 100% sure how he fixed it, I dont really care about that. Just glad I will have it back. Ive tried 3 inspires and then bought an atrix. They may be slightly faster than the captivate but screen quality doesn't come close to me. Maybe my eyes are getting old.
I am pretty sure though that he had to use his jtag box on it, I could be wrong. All I know for sure is that he fixed it and I can't wait to get it back.

i actually had this same brick last night (funny colors mid way through odin and everything). i bricked doing the EXACT same thing that you did, however, i was able to repair it by going into download mode (mine i can hold the volume rockers and put in usb to go to d/l mode, so no need for a jig) downloaded odin 1-click that DG put out (worst 40 minute wait of my life, felt like an eternity) and flashed it back to stock with odin 1-click.

I did try the odin version that dg put out but for some reason no matter what I tried my phone would just shut down. I'm not very tech savvy. I know just enough to get into trouble.

....i think? Running bamf ginger remix and the latest OTA radio not the leaks. I fixed my permissions and noticed my 4g kept going in and out. The phone got warm so i rebooted and got the splash screen, then it hung and rebooted two more times before booting normal. I literally freaked out for a second. Phone seems ok now. Should i be worried? What could cause this?

Sounds like the radio to me. That's the thing that will suck up power the worst if it can't get it's crap together finding a signal, even to the point of heating that thing up. Mine starts cooking if I tether it and watch movies on it. Never had boot loops though, and I use the 1.70 radio for weeks.
im glad i have full insurance on this phone in case. so far, so good today. in case i do brick is there a way to set the phone back to stock before returning it?

In that event, I say "Brick? What brick? It fell out of my pocket and sank to the bottom of a VERY deep lake." I've never had Asurion ask me for a phone back. The whole "My CRAZY ex stole it!" worked just fine.

I don't really know what to describe the "brick situation" we were having back in the day with the first leaked gingerbread as. Technically, it's not REALLY a brick because many of them could be fixed. It was more of a boot-loop issue. That whole situation muddied the waters of what defines a brick, but before that I always understood a brick to be a completely useless device beyond any help. Whether it could be powered on to view the hboot S-on or S-off state, I don't know because thankfully I've never had that problem.
There's always the option of electrocuting it until it won't power on though. Take an electronic lighter, remover the piezo igniter, and use that to zap sensitive parts of it's guts until it never worked again. That's like a few thousand volts. Not much inside there will survive that for long. (Yes, I really do sit around thinking about how to destroying things in undetectable ways.)
it's funny because everytime i hear about someone getting insurance for their cell phone i think "lol.. sucker!" but broke 2 phones so far and had to "craigslist" like crazy to find replacements at decent prices.

When the boot loop of death thing happened people were still able to get into hboot. So from there you would just flash an RUU and get back to s-on. If it truly is the same issue people were having the phone will be s-on after the RUU, but it will still just bootloop. If you are using the patched hboot I don't know if you would be able go get back because I don't know if fastboot was functioning.

HI Guys,
So I just tried to flash the Supercharged v7 rom from the ICS leak and now my phone wont turn on. When I have the battery in it heats up a lot, so I think it's trying to turn on.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks
Little more info please.
Were you on the ICS leak before you tried to flash it? Or GB?
Also any LED lights on?
Have you tried a different battery? Will it boot into fastboot? Hold both voume buttons down while it's off and then press and hold the power button.
And for future reference you should have posted this on SC7's thread as it involves the ROM. Keeps the forum a little tidier.

Ok, sounds like a hardbrick, however, the only thing I would try is to get your hands on another battery and see if it boots that way. Possibly borrow one from an AT&T store?
If it doesn't boot with a new battery it's probably an expensive paperweight now.
How did you flash it? With our new recovery? You didn't use the bootstrapper APK did you?

I used the new recovery. I will bring it to an AT&T store and try a new battery.
You sure you used boot menu? AND did you try to "flash" it? Or did you do a system restore....
Also did the phone die in the middle of the flash? Or would it not reboot?
also just hard bricked.......

Yeah this is the same brick many of us got. the battery will get hot, don't know why, but take it out or it is toast along with the phone, many people had that so you may need a new one. your best bet to fix is to buy a cheap broken phone on ebay with a working main board, so basically you are buying a main board but cheaper because people don't realize the phone i worth anything when the screen is shattered and the camera is shot. then you can pop the new board in your old phone and you are good to go.

So I bought a cheap Atrix2 (with a broken screen) in working condition along with a T5 torx screwdriver on Ebay, then watched on youtube how to replace the screen of an A2 thus figuring out how to replace the motherboard. I most thank lkrasner for suggesting it.
Bricked my phone
I got my phone bricked now..i cant boot the phone and the battery gets hot when i tried to boot the phone.
Is there anyway how i can restore the brick...I read that replacing the mother board will work....
Is this my only option....
I also read about daughter board which i can buy online...but is this the same as the motherboard of atrix 2 or something else.
Please help.

Try and get it replaced with your warranty that's pretty much your only option with a hard brick

It worked for me :laugh: search for this video on youtube "Motorola Atrix 2 Take Apart Repair Guide" And before minute 3 you will know how you can exchange the motherboard your self! Make sure your new motherboard is in working condition and enjoy your Atrix 2.
We have a guide for that guys.

Same here!!!
Gave my little bro the old skyrocket with a stable rom on it since I wasn't using it all that much. He hasn't been the most careful with it (dropped it a few times) but its held up save for a few scratches on the battery door.
Problem is he rebooted one night and this big white line appeared right down the middle of the screen (I honestly think he dropped it and is too embarrassed to tell me). He showed it to me and it only shows up when the screen is on. Booted into CWM, same thing.
Just to clarify, this is definitely a hardware issue right? This probably sounds like a stupid question but he really wanted me to ask... apparently my word isn't good enough cause now hes freaking out about getting the money to buy a new phone.

u can try odin back to stock but i dont think that would solve it
