[Q] Bootloop on Samsung Logo + No Download Mode

Hey community.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Anyhow, my brother bricked his infuse last night. Apparently he tried to flash an incompatible cwm fw (Nexus S) and rebooted it, and now its stuck at the samsung logo. Secondly, i tried to push it into download mode and it continues to loop. I tried to connect it to Odin and it does not recongize the phone, however it freezes at a picture of a wheel (similar to windows hourglass) and doesnt move from there.
i'm assuming its perm bricked at this point, unless you have suggestions.
Others have mentioned "jig" and "unbrickable mod" although I could not find any details further than the terms.
Any help would be appreciated.

Just checking, have you tried this?:
Remove the battery, and disconnect USB.
Hold, and continue to hold both volume keys.
Continue to hold vol. keys, connect USB.
Insert battery and continue to hold vol. keys for awhile.
That should put you in download mode.

After retrying with 4 different cables, 3 different machines, and 2 different O.S. I finally got the infuse to be found by odin.
Thanks for all the help

Lol next time try heimdale. It for me anyways works first try all the time. I only use Odin when i have to, other then that i always use heimdale. Make sure when you use heimdale plug your phone into another port. Ive figured out that a usb port only recognizes the phone a certain way, as heimdale uses different drivers that you install. On my laptop i have two ports that i do not usually use (one is dedicated to a bluetooth dongle/mouse) so one is set up for odin, the other for heimdale.

Yeah heimdall is the way to go...don't even need drivers...it uses its own special drivers that it will download for you if you don't already have them
Heimdall never fails me...but Odin...well Odin is kinda iffy

This is how i used the hemidall one click to stock here is what I do, below are how i perform using qkster's method...
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...
download this file to use the one click to put CWM mod on your phone
here is the link where i took all this...

Then I flash the dark night ICS rom like the op says and it run nice and smooth no lagg so far or any fc really other than when I put S voice onto my phone.. and like I said that Bluetooth, torch, HD video record is choppy, and no hdmi but I really like I just hope they get the flash light sorted out soon I use it all the time!!! Ya that's how

samsung i997 bootloop no bootloader solution
Dear guys i'm not saying this will be everybody's case but in my shop we got two of this phones with the issue mentioned above, in the two cases the issue was caused by faulty power button, so before you format or flash your samsung i997 i'll advice to go to youtube search for a diassemble video for your phone take out the main board and with your tester verify that your power button is working properly. If not try to replace the power button. i have soved the two cases that way.

Heimdall cwm bad flash?

Last night i decided to flash a Rom. When i used qkster's cwm obey click it never left the Samsung screen. I flashed back to stock after 15 minutes. Did i do something wrong or why did it not boot. When i tried to enter recovery after i flashed to stock the Samsung screen. Popped up 2 times before it went to recovery. Anybody know why?
Thanks in advance.

I downloaded cm9 to my phone and I didnt think I needed to flash cm7 first so I just flashed cm9 from MIUI and it booted up and i realized i forgot to install gaps. so when i went back into recovery, the top half of recovery had a lot of green and other colors scrambled together and when i clicked reboot system it just kept going back to the messed up recivery. I tried to plug in my phone to the computer while hold both volume buttons when it was off and it kept booting into recovery. could someone help me get my phone to reboot or if not restore it or get it too work?

[Q] Samsung infuse has gone crazy bricked!!!

ok so i had paranoid android v1.5 and i wanted to update it so i came here and updated to v 2 i believe what ever the newest version of it thats out. ok well i moved the zip folder along with gapps zip folder over the sd card 3 button comboed it to recovery and installed zip from sd card wiped dalviche cache and all it said everything was go i rebooted and it went directly back to recovery this time it updated my cmw to v6 something all looked ok except it didnt boot up so i tried to install again and after that everything went black ... it took me 2 hrs to figure out how to get it to the samsung boot loop screen.. download mode not working also not my computer isnt picking up right it keeps failing...
Now for everyone else they say remove battery wait 2 mins. plug usb into pc then into phone and quickly install battery while holding volume up and down. i usually hold the power button plus volume buttons down then plug in usb and insert battery and then release power to get recovery .\
now i dont have recovery or download mode and for me to get the samsung boot loop i have to use this combo
everything out of the phone battery sim card sdcard everything... plug usb into pc then hold volume down (only) plug in usb and insert battery
and ill get bootloop.
if i hold all three buttons my phone stays black but the pc still shows up that the usb is still not good.... is this a brick i can come back from???!!
o and ive installed kies about 40 times and when i check in my device manager i get the unknown device i uninstall that . what should my device manager look like for a windows 7
also if i unplug everything and remove everything from the phone all i have to do is plug in the usb to the pc and it gets the malfunction error like it always does except it shouldnt be powering on.. unless that the charger failing to iniciate
HOW DO I FIX THIS????!!

I think to get to download mode you don't actually press all three buttons.
pull battery
hold down volume buttons
insert usb
inserb battery
download should start up.

okie dokie
okay well i waited 12 hr.s and tried again and i got it into download mode i downloaded the return to stock odin package uclb3 stock root
flashed it no problems with the flash now it wont read sims card also when i power the phone down to reboot it wont power up...it flashes the little loading circle really fast and then nothing.. download mode is easy to get in and ive tried flashing like 4 times now.. one of those times the sims card was readable but the phone would not reboot. idk whats going on

ugh its late...
okay after gtg unbrick flash and a factory reset i now have signal!!! now let me try to power down and reboot.... i hope it works lol,

holy wtf.....
okay well that was another fail.... everything seems to work fine except rebooting the phone..... now when i go into heimdall suite and run zadig to reinstall deivce driver and then find device and then print pit file it reboots the phone and everything seems fine.. idk whats going on....

Okay i fixed it. Im getting better at trouble shooting. Lol

Thank you so much, my phone is working now. I just have to find a way to reset the binary download count(get rid of the yellow triangle) without purchasing a USB jig. Any suggestions? Im trying to update firmware to ICS and then Jelly bean. I tried flashing it to a newer version(ics), but then the phone goes back into bootloop (i think bc of flashing it to ics, then jelly bean, and then back to a rooted stock verison), so I have to keep using the rooted stock firmware. Any suggestions? Thank you btw

Getting to download mode is all the USB jig does. U can get it with out one. I believe if u hold down volume and plug in cable. Its something like that I forget. And a return to stock using heimdall or Odin should fix anything

im having troubles too!!
i have a similar problem myself. I rooted my infuse it has cwm9 and ics. but for some reason the phone cuts off and starts boot looping. i cant get it in download mode or recovery. took the battery out put it back in and its starts doing it without touching the power button. ive beat and banged on it still nothing but the loop. this is the longest it has done it, usually it would quit after a few minutes but its going on 24 hours now. any help would be awesome!!!

Try holding the volume up and the volume down (but not the power button) with the USB plug already in the phone and hooked up to the computer and then insert the battery. If you don't get into download then you either need a jig or have a power button problem.

I am able to get into download mode, Ive flashed the OS a number of times back to stalk, then tried ICS, and jelly bean, and I still get the same error message I got at the beginning of this post. But I was able to reset the Binary counter, if I could get my phone to work again I would literally pay somebody to help me....I know it is possible to get it back up and running, it's just a complicated process it seems. Help please!

Chainfire had a program called Triangle Away. Do a search but be careful, it might not work with Infuse and you could get a real brick.

i have bricked my infuse many times, and xda members always have been helpful to me
i am now that the point of believing that my infuse is un-brick-able, so I am writing down my instruction as a noob for you
A/ Preparation in your computer:
1. Install/Update Java (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp) and Get the driver for the Samsung ready (download and install Kies software at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I997ZKAATT)
2. download Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
3. Download SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
4. Download: CM-9-20120620 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
5. Download: CWM-community-kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
6. Download a rom and gapps ( i use the AvatarROM and Gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227)
*connect your phone to the computer and copy and paste the 4, 5, 6 items into your sd card
* i am not so sure where you are at, but maybe you don't need flash the cm-9
what you need to do:
a. pull out the battery, put it back on, holding down both the volume buttons while plug in the use cord, the other end of the usb already plug in the computer, that would put you to the download mode
b. by now your computer would be noticing the phone is connected, you then click the Heimdall at 2 above to turn it on (read that thread so you can know what to expect) if you have the drive and the phone is really connected, then, you can click "flash" and the Heimdall will do it job - don't do anything the phone will be rebooting itself back to stock (in the thread, the dev. said you might need to flash two times, but in my case, I only did once and it worked right away)
c. be happy with result for a while, then you put the phone back to download mode and flash the Entropy Heimdall at 3 above, your phone will get the red recovery if things go the way it should
d. then you wipe everything (maybe no need but whatever... after bricking your phone, it doesn't hurt to spend a min. to do this), 2 wipes at the main red recovery and then go to advance and wipe advik catch and battery state .. i would do every wipe 2 times ... and also select the "fix permissions" in there too
e. then you flash the cwm community kernel at (5) assuming that you already put it in the sd card of your phone (if not, then you choose the option from the the red recovery "connect as usb drive, your computer wil read the phone and allow you to copy and paste - i must say here that I tried this step a few times in order to make it work, i even reboot my computer)
then you flash the ROM and Gapps that you want to (assuming that you already put them in the sd card of the phone)
if jellybean didn't go through then maybe you should try the cm-9 first ...
be patient, very patient if things to the way it should, your phone will reboot a few times and recovery will change its color ... and you will get to the ROM you want
while you are waiting for those reboots, take time to read at least the first 3 pages of the threads that I put the links above to learn about the problems and what to expect
don't panic very much it will led to bad decision
your phone will be fine as XDA dev. have spent a great deal of time, energy, thoughts on the infuse
once again, hope you understand my noob instruction and esl writing
you phone will be working again

Thanks but I didn't needed these. I may not be a pro but definitely not a noob. I was only responding to the previous comment.
