Wow. Really? Rooting is the very first thing I do when I purchase a new phone. I rotoed my infuse the evening of the day I purchased it and didn't look back. So many options... So many great devs. Try being a little more patient. It will only benefit you in the long run.

stick with it...There are many threads, devs and tools here to use. Not sure why you are saying you can't get help....
What were you trying to do? Where are you now?

I tried to root my phone using this video on youtube: "How to root, install 3e recovery, and install custom ROM on Samsung Infuse"
I did everything correctly then when i booted up my phone it wouldnt boot, it just stays on the samsung screen. When i plug it up it just shoes an empty battery and doesnt do anything.
Ive tried doing gtg's ultimate unbrick, but odin3 wont recongnize my phone and i have the drivers installed.
Ive tried adams one click: but it keeps saying "disconnected" it doesnt say connect.
Any Suggestions???

If Odin is not showing #comm# then you do not have the proper drivers installed...bottom line...

Ok well it does not work on either computer. I rooted the dang phone so i had the drivers then..... when i try installing other infuse drivers ive had it says that they are already installed, where earlier i removed it by using the uninstaller. I am soo stuck.

make sure u have heimdall uckj4 downloaded to your pc
make sure you are in admin user
turn off your phone
get a decent usb cord
plug it into a different usb than what you have been using
put your phone into DL mode ( pull battery, press vol up and vol down, plug in usb and replace battery)
make sure you have updated to latest java
run the 1 click
it may show disconnected
install drivers using zadig - move thru the selections, find android usb
if you have install correct drivers, it should show connected
flash it
after it flashed the first time
flash it the second time with the bootloader box checked
if it works correctly, you should be on uckj4 stock att gb
if it doesn't work, you can always drive your car over the phone and ask for a replacement

look thru the options, there is an install drivers..make sure you pick the correct listed device...
zadig is different,,it doesn't require kies or any of the other drivers..it will install the usb drivers on only one of your port...save this port for future use with heimdall..

[Q] Please help

My flashing went wrong with one of the roms and as I was in the process of using ODIN , my phone isn't being picked up by my pc . My phone is in downloader mode and everything . what to do to fix this ? please reply asap because right now I have no phone :[

Aslong its in download mode unplug it restarted the computer and use the adam outler method or use odin it should work and do u have the drivers installed?Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

PRoblem
I'm experiencing the same problem, the only difference is that i had a bad recovery, and now i can't get ODIN to detect the phone i tried the above suggestion with no avail. I had the drivers installed but now when i put it in downloader mode it just says.. "USB device unkown" so ODIN can't detect my sidekick 4g

whats the adam outler method ? can i have a link to it ?

It's in the development section. The program will load all necessary drivers, and go from there. Now, you are saying that your phone is in DL mode, but the pc is not picking it up... have you unplugged the phone from the PC via usb, and re-plugged it in? ODIN should see it then, as long as it is still in DL mode.

i was doing the heimdall [ adam's way ] and in the middle of it , my phone randomly disconnected so now my phone has a picture of a phone that had a caution side in the middle , and a pc on the other side , trying to imply that it was disconnected . when i plug it in nothing happens , when i turn it on or try to go into download mode , this picture comes up

U can still odin via that way
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

how ? its stuck like that

been on that situation with the picture allot between my vibrant and sidekick. Odin always fixed it from there for me. Treat it like a DL state, and you should be stock soon. I have had it before where I had to let the phone sit over night, and then try in the morning and it worked fine with that pic
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

?
but im not understanding how is odin supposed to recognize it if that picture always comes up , even when trying to go into download mode

You are basically in DL mode at that point. Unplug the phone, re-plug and it should pop up in odin, as long as you have the correct drivers.. Have you tried to re-run the heimdall? it will probably go through now

yeah but thats wat i was saying earlier , my phone WONT pop up in Odin

I am assuming you are running windows, re-download the drivers for it. Heimdell grabs it's own drivers, odin does not. Make sure you download the correct set ones for the version you got.
I know it's frustrating....

yep im on windows lol and okay ima try that

Just curious... any update?

[Q] Need Help Recovery screen broken

Hello everyone,
I attempted to upgrade my sisters Infuse the other day and all went well expect for a few things:
Phone is no longer recognized in download mode
Screen starts up with just a bunch of color screen lines; after this starts up normal and works fine
and Recovery screen looks like this: Attached file
I need help, I can't reset with odin, I can't install a rom from sd, tried counting the navigation arrow clicks but no go.
Any help?
Id like to add that my girlfriend's Infuse is recognized while in download mode but hers is brand new and is stock.

Same problem here
I am currently experiencing same problem.. I guess this is a flaws in samsung infuse.

no..you guys have no gb bootloaders
easiest way to clear this up is to first flash odin one of the gb leaks
or use the heimdall 1 clicks packages
follow op's

How are you getting to download mode? For me the only way odin ever recognized download mode was if i pulled the battery held volume up and down put battery back in then plugged usb in...or something like that, can't really remember its been a while...
Basically what im trying to say is odin would never detect download mode if i went there through extended power menu toggle

I can't flash with odin or the other program because the computer/program, don't connect to the phone when its in download mode. A com port never appears and I get a windows message stats unidentified device, click on message and it just shows my usb port showing unknown device.

You could have bad connections on your USB cord. I had the same exact problem, then I bought a new cord and it work perfect the next time I tried.

then try Hemiball if odin is not working. I remember somewhere that drivers are particular to the port you are using. With hemi if you are asked you might not see the driver the first time. click the dropdown and located from there

Samsung usb driver.
for Windows 32bit
for Windows 64bit
Your computer remove all samsung driver and kies, restart completed.
Install samsung usb driver and connecting usb test.

you may need i think its called a "jig" if buttons wont allow you !

Actually this site is for learning about all things android. Not holding peoples hands that screw there phones. There is a ton of info on this site to help you. Think of it like going to the library. Sometimes the librarians busy and you have to find things for yourself. Look for the search feature and start using it.

thnx alot man but anyone know abou the usb problem. also when the USB DOES connect and gets signal, the phone dont reboot or anything sometimes usb composite device dont even appear in the list of all devices

If you still can get into download mode on the phone then it doesn't matter. The drivers get installed during the one-click process, just follow the directions when they come up.

Hmm...I've never seen that before. I'd ask someone with a little more experience than me.

So, instead of PM'ing me, lets keep the discussion here.
I would have chimed in, but I don't know crap about windows.
Sounds to me like a windows driver issue. If you plug your phone in and see something new in device manager, uninstall the drivers for that device. Rinse - wash - repeat, until you get "Unknown Device".
Then make sure you have the visual c++ redistributable (mentioned in the OP of the oneclick thread).
Then run the heimdall oneclick. It will ask to install the drivers. You may need to reboot the computer after installing the drivers for them to work properly.
If you still have problems, hopefully one of the windows nerds around here can help.

wow... ur saying this ir rare stuff.
man what have i done to my phone, maybe it is just a windows problem -_-
