[Q] Soft-Bricked friend's Infuse - Samsung Infuse 4G

I was trying to flash stock GB from Froyo on my friend's new infuse..
I followed all the instructions, however I got a Phone-!-PC screen.
I tried a JIG to get into DL mode but that didn't work.
Any help would be nice, thanks

Yes I was using Odin

That phone-!-pc screen is a form of download mode. You can use Odin here. Just reset Odin and restart your flash.

This might Work
Okay I just tried GTG's Ultimate unbrick, you don't need to go into DL mode to use it. It worked for me

Again, that was download mode.
You can flash the stock GB Odin packages there also.

agreed,that is a download mode,when you see the phone-!-pc,that is a download mode and odin should work at that point..

That's fine, and will work, but is unnecessary. You can flash the Gingerbread Odin packages in this mode also. If you restart the 2.3.6 package that you were attempting before, it will flash in this mode.

And to clear up any confusion, you DO need to be in download mode to use GTG's Ultimate Unbrick. You were in download mode, and that's why it worked for you.
EDIT: I just added this to the FAQ in my thread for the rooted UCLB3 Odin packages that I put together.:
3.) My phone is displaying something that looks like this: Phone-!-PC. What is this, and can I use these Odin packages from here?
That is still download mode. If you reach that screen, a flash has been interrupted or has failed, and you are in a type of backup download mode. Reset Odin, and start over with your flash. These packages will flash in this mode, just as they will in regular download mode.

I've had this problem b4, if u were using adb earlier open up task manager and fc it. Also if u have more than one flashing program (odin, heimdall, one click, gremlin remover...etc) close all but the one you are trying to flash with then restart download mode.

Pull out your phone's battery and check whether it says SGH-T959V in the sticker under the battery.

[q] infuse won't show up on odin

Hey. So i have a few problems but this is the main one. I have looked all over but can't figure it out. I'm running CM10 on my Infuse. I've wanted to update it to the newest releases AND flash the touch-based recovery. My problem is that i have a distorted recovery. Its ALL rainbows. I can't see anything. So i read up and learned that i can try flashing GB bootloaders. my only problem is that when i put my infuse into download mode and open odin, nothing shows up. i have it opened in admin and have the drivers installed.
If you have any idea how to fix the rainbows issue, then i dont really need help with the bootloaders or odin. otherwise, PLEASE HELP ME! thank you in advanced
Use heimdal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Works similar to Odin...put in download mode, then click flash...but leave heimdal open when done...do not close, once your phone reboots put your phone back to download mode, click the box for flash bootloaders on heimdal and then flash again
Also...touch recovery (aka twrp) does not work with the latest cm10 build...I'm working on a fix though...

Lol...if you don't wanna go back to stock then idk...the one I linked will take you back to stock...
You've tried different USB cords/ports with odin?
How about manually in installing drivers, then reinstalling then rebooting your computer then trying?
Also have you ever used heimdal? If you use heimdal Odin will not work on that USB port that heimdal was used on

I only can get to download mode galaxy GT-I9003

Hello guys, I was trying to root my galaxy GT-I9003 to install an ICS rom and I had 2.3.6,,, I entered download mode and tried to use odin but it said failed. so i pushed the power button to swtich the phone off and it gave me a screen with cellphone and computer and yellow rectangle and it doesn't start or go to recovery mode the only thing i can do is to take the battery our for a minute then put it again and the only thing it does is to go to download mode and i tried to use odin again or samsun kies but nothing is working. how can i get this phone to work again please with the old OS or to start flashing a rom again?
Thanks,
Try rebooting the system and connecting and flashing again using odin.
If it still doesn't work reinstall samsung kies software and try connecting and flashing using odin.
If it still doesn't work, report here and someone will try to guide further. All the best.

I think the xxkpe zip file comes with Odin 1.83. Try it out as well.

Ok. Try installing xxkpe with pit on odin 1.83 then install your stock rom with odin 1.83 then it must work i think.

Recovery Issue

So I'm having this issue with recovery. I recently got this Infuse and it was running cm9 but used the ODIN UCLB3 return to stock method cause cm9 was giving me issues and I always preferred running stock. Anyways, stock is painfully slow and laggy, so I wanna run jb 4.2.2. Now, here's my issue: I decided to try this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129 and followed the instructions but whenever I reboot to recovery, instead of the recovery menu appearing, what does show up is a mess of colored lines that look as if the lcd screen was cracked and nothing really happens no matter what button I press... I then wanted to try another recovery, so I used the ODIN method to install Entropy512's Daily Driver kernel with Red CWM Recovery and doing so made the recovery menu show up correctly!! I then followed the steps in the rom thread and it said to flash cm9 and gapps, reboot and when it got stuck in the splash to use power + vol up+down method to get back to recovery. well, whenever i do this, it does go back to recovery but, once again, instead of the recovery menu showing up, it shows all the messed up colored lines... i then have to use the odin return to stock once more and go back to stock :/ Im not at all experienced with samsung devices as all my previous ones were htc's, so any guidence and help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advanced!
Sounds like you need to flash the GB bootloaders. Use qksters Heimdall found in my signature.

thanks for ur reply! i downloaded the heimdall back to stock but the heimdall dd kernel + red cwm links didnt work.... though, i believe its the same as the odin dd kernel + red cwm? would it be safe to use the odin version instead?
EDIT: well, im having another issue now... when using heimdall to flash the uclb3, it says i need to install the drivers... on the thread i ur sig it says to set them up and using heimdall method it prompts (right after the failed flash) to download the drivers, and, in order to do so, i would have to select "Samsung USB Composite" on the window that openned later, but that specific driver never shows up for install on the list... any help?

Drivers should be in the package. Don't recall exactly but I think the file is labelled zadig. I don't use Odin but if you can flash bootloaders from it you should be okay.

If you get rainbow effect again, you will need to flash bootloaders.

ok, so now i have another issue. i went to flash the red cwm but the links on the thread appear to be outdated and so i couldnt download the heimdall install mehthod for the entropy dd kernel + red cwm. also, the phone is (for some reason) not recognized by odin (probably cause i have no root??). the heimdall return to stock wasnt rooted, so now i have to root. i tried the superoneclick from one of the threads on here but it froze and wouldnt work, so i downloaded the superoneclick on the android developing and hacks forum and it gets stuck on shell rooting device... - Step #7. sooo, what can i do here?? thanks for the help so far, btw!
EDIT: ok never mind, i flashed infuzen a16 kernel and got the red cwm... so i went ahead and restored a backup i had made before i attempted all of this and now im back rooted now, im off to try and flash cm9!!!

That is the kernel I prefer to flash.In the future if you don't have or wish to restore a backup this root package ROOT THE UCLB3 listed in same Heimdall thread by qkster has worked just fine for me.

I recommend reading, reading, then reading that thread many more times. I have read it and followed the links in it many times. About every time I do I notice or pay attention to something else helpful.

definitely, and especially since this is all so new to me coming from htc... and, to add even more reasons to the convenience of reading all about the infuse, i think this is gonna be my daily device for quite some time... so i better read up on all i can!!
Also remember that the file format changes to MDT and any screw ups will probably require a return to stock using Heimdall or Odin. Read the OP instructions very carefully.
This is a guide guide to use too.
