It is not a hard brick.Just go to download mode, connect USB and Odin will recognise it.flash your rom and it will start normally as usual

Try using another USB port
If the file were broken you won't be able to extract it from archive
This is all common while using odin
Anyways thanks for the thanks

Yeah, and be sure that you used the .tar file in Odin to flash.
Not the .zip file - anyway, if it takes long time then try to wait for it.
(Try CM7, this should work on flashing [never had troubles with it])

Lol how will Odin open a zip file

[Q] Stuck in recovery mode... can't select update.zip or reboot.. help!

Could you give a more detailed explanation? What do you get in recovery and what recovery do you have?
battery pull and reboot into recovery
It says "Android system recovery <3e>"
Reboot system now
apply sdcard zip
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache
But it won't let me select any of those options with the power key. I can only move up and down using the volume keys. :/
I did do a battery pull and reboot into recovery as far as I am concerned. I just cannot select any of the options once I am there.
I don't mean to be a bother, but can someone help me. I tried doing a search but couldn't find a solution. I hope the phone isn't totally useless.

Long time member, first time poster. So I know your not an android noob
Why don't you try flashing the recovery again using NVFlash
Haha yes, but this is my first Android phone. I used to have PPC phones lol.
I attempted to use NVflash and failed horribly. There are so many guides I ended up getting confused. Command Prompt would not allow me to do anything so I must have done something wrong.
You try this yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
NVflash really is simple to run and load even if you don't use the above method.

Are you sure you are holding the power button long enough. This power button on this device must be held a long time.

when you hold both volume buttons and plug in to pc, do you hear the device connected sound from windows? do you see the phone listed in device manager? i forgot what it's listed as in this mode, but i'm positive it say's nvidia something something usb in the name.
try a different usb port? a different pc? do a system restore and start over?

Yes I hear it connect... I installed the correct driver for APX and everything. I tried two different ports. :/ My only issue is the clockwork. I'm so lost.

Just pressing volume up and down won't get you into download mode. You need to apply a usb cable as well.
Maybe that is why your NS stays black.
Doen't work
i also tried to just hold volume up and on button
and hope that is go into fastboot ( only not on the screen )
but that doesn't work either
hope that er is someone out there who can help me
Hi,
You have a bricked bootloader and JTAG is the only answer in this scenario. That is my video you posted and I'd be happy to take care of this for you. Just PM me if you have any other questions.

you have to power off ur phone first.
1) power off ur phone or just remove battery and put it back in ( ur phone should not be plugged either)
2) hold vol up and vol down
3) press the power button and keep your fingers on the vol up and vol down until u enter download mode
4) plus the cable now
5) reflash bootloader through odin

That's why i could kill myself at the moment:O i din't look twice when i flash a zip
but i wanted to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.2 ( because i can overclock to 1.6 )
the flash was succesful ( 100% ) i did go back and reboot
and from then the screen stays black
( this is really hard i suck in english xD )
update! : i think it was one of these that i flasht, But i dont really now
353e267378cd.signed-soju-GRH78C-from-GRH78.353e2673.zip
but sofar i now is that the stock update ?
The zip in question, does it weigh around 12-14 megs by any chance? Not the typical 85 for a full ROM?
These are "patch" zips that contain only new files and patches for modified files and partitions instead of full files. They're supposed to be flashed strictly on the ROM they were meant for, normally a completely stock ROM of a specific build number. (I'm not aware of any ROM maker out there, other than Google, providing this kind of zip update.)
Good luck,

[Q] Samsung infuse cannot get into download mode, and bricked

If you can get to the SAMSUNG logo you can get to download mode, are you sure you're doing it right?
Make sure you are holding the volume buttons as you plug it in and out the battery back in. Also, try a different usb cable or a different usb port on the computer. Sometimes that's all it is. I thought mine was broken bc I couldn't get download mode and then couldn't get the computer to read it but really all I had to do was hold the volume buttons and switch to a different usb port.

Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
Power + Vol Down shuts the phone off (as we don't have an accessible battery...)
Power + Vol Up enters recovery. I usually do this when the device is off - hold power + vol up until it turns on, then release power until you see reco. You probably don't *have* to hold vol up until you see reco, but I always do.
Actually if you hold power and vol down it takes a screenshot here is the proof lol

If you hold it long enough, it will force shut off the device. I've had to do this when booting ROM's that don't finish booting....

when I push power + vol.up after device off, it showed a pict of our green robot lie down with its stomach open & triangle sign above it. is this the recovery menu that we talking about? sorry cause I only familiar with cwm, never use or found "origin" recovery menu before..

Yes, this is the stock recovery. This is NOT CWM, and you probably won't be able to do much (if anything). I believe it'll just look for an update.zip on your SD card. I don't think there's any menus/options within the stock recovery.
Again, I blew away the stock recovery as soon as I got the device.

Not sure if you ever got this figured out, but if you still can't get into fastboot my guess is your adb isn't installed correctly on your computer or there's something wrong with your usb cable. Assuming once you're in fastboot mode you have everything on your machine set to flash without issue, here are your steps
Code:
power + vol down ... until device reboots
immediately once your boot logo shows power + camera button
-- this will bring up a menu --
vol down to navigate, vol up to select
I believe fastboot is your 3rd or 4th option down. There are only 5 choices in that menu though, it's pretty straightforward. From there you should be able to flash, again, assuming your fastboot is installed correctly.
