HI all,
So yes I have already tried to google, and look through other posts but cant find anything that is my particular situation, heres what happened, Infuse was running on ZEUS 6.1 perfectly, I decided to install ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned, I followed all the instructions, installed ROM, disabled VooDoo lagfix and then the stock kernal, after that the phone just didnt come back to life, the result is currently on the SAMSUNG logo, I can go into recovery just download mode but my USB is not detected either, when I install the drivers it doesnt do anything, tried KIES and other drivers from SAMSUNG, also removed USB ports, restarted, and tried other pc's and laptops and same USB error, even tried on linux, no luck, can anyone please help, I love this phone and the ROM, I have no idea why I attempted to do this but need help.
Thanks all[/FONT]
This happened to me lately but I was on stock froyo. Seems like my usb cable was for charging only. When I bought one that said it was for charging and data, the Infuse was recognized instantly. I am a noob here, but hope this is all of your problem.
Yep, thats what I'm starting to wonder, if its the cable, I am using the microUSB cable that came with the phone from SAMSUNG, never was an issue before, would connect and trasnfer data without a problem, also tried a few blackberry cables no luck, the crazy part is I cant even go to recovery mode, it only goes to download mode, wondering if I can copy some files to the SDcard to boot off with.
If you try everything and it does not work, contact me I know a guy you can send it to for it to be unbricked. When he unbricked mine, he noticed the usb controller somehow glitched and can never be fixed, resulting in a whole new device needed (he tried replacing the usb hub, did no good). Thats what happened to me, make sure to try everything first though.
So after trying a dozen cables, nothing seems to work, I should have known this when the OS was still on ZEUS and I attempted to connect via USB which I received USB not recognized message, I have tried the same SAMSUNG cable for a blackberry and it installs perfectly, so its not the cable, my understanding the USB port on the Infuse is bad, is there a way to boot into recovery of an SDcard so that I can install ZEUS back? I only have "download" mode working, recovery for some reason does not come-up, I am really trying to avoid throwing this phone in the garbage, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Clarification?
You can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see the phone? I don't think you have said anything about trying to do anything to the phone in download mode.

That's exactly it, I can get into download mode just fine, once I connect to pc I get USB device unrecognized, although the drivers are installed, so the crazy thing is I have been on here since the days of Infused downloading and updating ROMS back and forth, never posted anything, even when I had an issue back when, I was able to go into recovery and do what I need to do to bring it back to life, almost felt like an expert given the amazing advice here, never had an issue till now, please help.
I had accidentally set my Infuse in an "almost" empty cup, not realizing that there was still about an inch of lemonade at the bottom. This unfortunatley screwed my USB recognigtion to my computer. It can charge, but is no longer capable of transferring files via USB. There is, however, Kies Air. This has been such a lifesaver!!! You can transfer files to and from your phone, and I have transferred Zeus and Aeon to my SD card through Kies Air. I installed Aeon on my phone no problem and it is working flawlessly You only need to download the Kies Air app to your phone. No special drivers, apps, or software is needed for your computer. If anyone has any questions on how to do this, you can PM me or just post on here.

Doesn't help much when he is only able to go to download mode, or sick at Samsung screen. I was having a similar issue. Odin was not recognizing my device but heimdall 1 click worked like a charm. Give that a shot, let me know how that works out for you.

im having exact same problem...
i got it connected to my friends laptop and i flashed infusion kernel 1.0 through odin.. it failed..
and now i can't even get to download mode.. it only shows pc!computer image/..
I have had this problem a lot too. I believe that the problem is with the cable from Samsung. It's crap. Just by chance I noticed that my friend's Kindle cable had the same usb plug. I tried that and it hasn't disconnected once.

Alright, my phone is currently soft-bricked and i have had a lot of experiences in unbricking the phone. However, this time..i could not unbrick my phone
so what happened was. yesterday night i did nandroid backup of miui rom, and flashed a different rom, i didn't like the new rom so i was gonna do the nandroid restore to go back to miui. after restoring i rebooted the phone and it gets stuck on samsung logo bootloop.
So, as i always do, i went to my computer, got my phone into download mode, and flashed infusion1.0 kernel through odin so that i would get the cwm back. and it failed. so i took the battery out and did the volume down+up+usb combo to get to download mode, but this time it went to {phone (exclamation!) computer} and odin does not recognize the device anymore..
tried reinstalling drivers and everything..still no hope..i have also tried this on a diff computer but it didn't work either. my computer makes the sound thing when the phone is connected to it.. but phone does not show up in odin.
i think my phones hard bricked now.. what do u guy think?
Same thing happened to me...so I grabbed my wife's laptop installed drivers and Odin and it worked...make sure to try different USB cables and try also try different computers..Odin still won't recognize my phone on my laptop. But it works every time with the wifes

For me its great. Lol when i actually used my ipod in my battery case i would use the sammy cable to backup my ipod to the computer.
OK guys, serious problem here. Went to install aeon 1.4 on my girls infuse, and decided to do a clean wipe from stock, (heimdall) on MacBook. And it just gets stuck at red recovery, so far I've tried using two different computers running windows, and even the MacBook with paralells. To no success, MOST flash attempts end in a failure somewhere in factory fs. Or cache.
One thing I should note Ghats oddly different, is her phone, ever since day one, when going into download mode, you get a warning screen about how its unsafe to flash aftermarket roms,
Cable works.

There has been some reported issues with the heimdall and heimdall 1 click on Mac.
You may need to borrow or use a PC based OS to get it to flash. You will also need admin privileges to flash the jar file.

I've tried using MY infuse to get all the drivers setup, and it will connect, but when you try to connect during download mode, or USB mounted storage under recovery, it either does nothing, (hers) or in download mode says unrecognized device (both) I was thinking it might be the cable, but the cable worked FINE on my phone when I flashed it on the Mac. Now suddenly its a complicated issue...

the 1-click has its own drivers built in. I usually have luck switching to different usb port
edit:
Try GOOGLE "how to use heimdall or how to install heimdall drivers" for some suggestions. The other thing I can think of is to try attaching a USB hub to one of the port and try again. The newer hub may help your pc recognize the newer device on the older port...beyond that, I can't help much further. It's a matter of find a pc that works for you.
If you look thru the Q/A thread and the main thread, there has been some report about Mac not liking heimdall or vice versa

On my mac, those drivers work, on my PC, my device doesnt come up as USB Composite Device, so it doesnt let me fix it. it just shows up as unkown device.
I believe i could fix this issue if i could somehow transfer a rom file onto the usb storage, or access the memory card at all from recovery

Make sure you have kies installed..kies drivers are required for Odin to detect device..

1. To connect to PC install Kies. It comes with necessary USB drivers.
2. For flashing try MobileODIN. Search XDA
Good Luck !

Have been facing this issue for many months now. When I dont need to access the memory card, the usb connection works and when I want to access the card or connect in download mode, the connection doesnt work .
Try connecting everyday, preferably immediately after booting your pc or laptop. Also try adjusting the cable end on the phone. It might work. Sometimes it does for me.

You should have used mobile Odin to root at the same time... If z4root may work, though I'm doubtful. Its an app on the market

i tried z4root, gingerbreak different versions. nothing works.
i think its not possible to root with usb cable.
This mistake is gonna cost me lot if i want usb back.
i need usb only to root and flash.
rest all works with phone. even charging.but no usb connection.
i can transfer data using card reader.

Well I've tried everything to get Odin and Heimdall to see my phone and NOTHING will work. I used the .apk to get root access and put the modded bootloader on the phone to flash it. That all worked fine but I flashed a new rom with an incompatible bootloader so now I can not read anything on it and it will only bootloop the samsung logo.
I've tried every driver I can find and multiple USB cords. My Galaxy Mega will connect to Odin without any issues at all (So I assume it's not the USB cord or USB slots on the PC), however NOTHING will allow this darn Infuse to show up.
I am using Windows 8 on a Lenovo PC (if that matters). Does anyone have any suggestions that might be able to get me to be detected by Odin so I can take it back to stock and start fresh? Really getting annoyed with this phone's unwillingness to cooperate with my PC.
Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions.
So, I guess nobody has any suggestions on what I can do?

Absolutely nothing happens at all. I've tried two different computers now, with a total of 6 different USB cables, and EVERY driver I could possibly find.
Even before I bricked it, it would charge via the PC, but would not show up any options for PC connectivity.

I pulled the battery, held in both volume controls, plugged in USB cord, then popped the battery back in. It gave me the warning screen about flashing another OS, and I had to hit Vol Up to confirm going into Download mode.
....Any suggestions on where to go from here?? This is getting to be rather disheartening.
It's a long shot but try using another computer. I can't think of any reason why it would make a difference but it's worth a try.

I've already tried that. It would not show up on that computer either. A buddy is gonna bring over a laptop in the next few days so I can try it on that one, but since it has already failed to be recognized on two PC's, I imagine it will also fail on the third.
You might need to buy a jtag for your device.

If you are able to get your phone into DL mode, it sounds like it is still salvageable.
The idea is to get a device recognition with a PC.
If you have already remove and re-install the original samsung drivers, tried different PCs, different USB ports and different USB data cords - then it could the the usb port on the device that is not working correctly.
You can try gently forcing the port in different directions etc..or just take the risk and replace the port yourself or sending to a repair shop.
USB replacement runs about $35 to $50. Mobiletechvideo's currently charges $35

your problem is simple : uninstall all the drivers and Kies. Then reboot and reinstall Kies. now you can connect your phone with odin. It's because in some way, you got your drivers corrupted or changed and they are not able to be used with odin. It happens to me so many times that i cannot count them
So good luck with this issue but im pretty sure you will get rid of this problem with this procedure
Have a nice day !
