Ok this actually sounds similiar to something that happened to me, so here goes:
Was using Odin back to stock and something went wrong during. The phone screen went into a rainbow/starry clusterfack and then black. Couldn't get into download mode or anything, everytime I booted the stars came back or nothing at all. So eventually I just did what I would do if going into download, pulled batt, plugged in while holding volumes. Nothing came on to the screen but decided to continue, so I hit the volume up do accept the warning screen even though I couldn't see it and finally my phone showed up on my PC. Hit start in Odin and it worked and downloaded luckily. Sorry for the long explanation but, give this a try.
odins not seeing nothing from left to right i see
a phone --!--and a pc with a black screen some how it looks like its in some ultra low download mode :/
i see this

Never seen that but, it looks like your phone is having problems connecting to your PC, try rebooting the PC and then reconnect usb and phone.
Also I did a little googling, and I believe it means a bad flash, some ppl have fixed by a hard reset so try that link.
Here's the thread with different options, not our phone but same situation: thread

That screen its pretty rare on the infuse, good thing!. They really made this phone pretty much unbrickable under normal conditions.

That is a form of download mode. Open odin and try connecting phone to pc ans see if odin reads it. If it doesnt kerp trying it will eventually. I had this hapoen to my captivate

yeah this phone its hardcore unbrickable... haha as bbwolf said its just a DL screen that usually appears (at least to me) when i connect the infuse and use odin with front or externally conected USB ports also happened to me in all 3 ports of my bro laptop
Instead using the back USB ports will prevent the outpowering of the usb port and you will flash flawlessly but Infuse its harcore you really have to mess things up to brick it... if even possible 0.o
If happens again relax... go to a desktop and flash with a back USB u will be back on track in notime
Samething happened to me, I ended up getting a factory replacement. The same day I placed the order with att I finally got Odin to work.

Had that exact screen when my phone took a tumble half way in a odin flash I took battery out plugged back in and odin recognized and flashed took a really long time though to flash longer than normal not sure why
so i was trying to flash kg4 kernel with odin and it got stuck and my phone powered off. When try to enter recovery or download mode i get this message "firmware upgrade fail! try using recover". any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Give us more info. What are you flashing from (FROYO or GB)? Why KG4 kernel? Are you trying to change your modem?
This.. charge your phone to full then try and enter dl mode if its not letting you in you may need a USB jig if your on a Samsung device. I'm only assuming because Odin usually uses Samsung stuff from my experience.. otherwise need a lot more info

Will your ROM load?
i loaded the md5 on pda then i started it but it got stuck and my phone powered off, that's it.
So you have a galaxy s4g? Can you get into recovery with a full battery?

yup i have a gs4g but when i try to enter recovery the same message appears firmware upgrade fail
Will you ROM load?
nope it won't load
Even though you can't get into recovery... plug your phone in and see if ODIN recognizes it.
You should try starting ODIN again obviously with your phone plugged in. See what happens.

If you are able to get Odin to recognize your phone, i would redo the whole thing again, maybe it was just a bad flash.
If it happens again, try re-downloading the kernel, and redoing it again.
What step were you on in the guide? IF you flashing the kernel should be step 11. Sounds like your phone ran out of battery. If you plug it into the wall charger does it charge?
i was in step 11 and my phone was 80% charged before i entered download mode. When I plug in charger the same screen pops up and odin doesn't recognize it now.
are you entering DL by the battery pull method? Odin should see it that way. I've had to try a lot of times in the past to get odin to recognize the phone but it always does.
yup the battery pull method, i've tried like 6 times but no luck
plug into a different usb port on the computer. close odin reopen it and try six more times.

Plug your phone in and restart ODIN. Try it. Make sure all your settings are correct.
wow it actually recognizes my phone now lol. So what do I do now?

restart ODIN. Reread the thread you were using and check and double check the settings.
If you can boot your ROM. And still on stock. Use this thread.
Need some help. Step dad's Infuze is boot looing at the samsung logo. Searched and found qkster's thread about using heimdall 1 click to flash UCLB3. Got the phone into dl mode, loaded drivers and started flashing. Stopped at kernel upload failed. Ending session. Don't know what to do, can I just unplug and start over? Thanks in advance for any help.
Rebooted into dl mode, now it is showing firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again. Please help, is this still fixable?
I can get the phone recognized by Heimdall, just that it stops when loading the kernel. Is there another way to load kernel when in the dl mode?

Try running again and again if necessary until flashes and boots into ROM then Use one of the kernels in the same thread of qkster's that includes root and CWM recovery
Keep trying different ports, different USB cables, reboot computer,use different computer if available

either odin or heimdall works. you have to believe that. the frustration is getting a pc with usb port and a usb cord and your phone to align and work correctly. usually after a few driver install or java update or reboot..something works.
your other situation where you kinda had it recognized and almost completed a flash, try different usb cords. hold it steady, wipe the ports..etc..connection is prolly loose

Yeah frustrating it really is. Will fire up the old xp boxen and see if I get better results with that.
While reading up yesterday, I saw some posts about corrupted efs causing the att screen bootloop. Is there anything else?
I don't think it is a power button problem as the phone doesn't turn on when I insert the battery.
Finally, you think it is safe to use a custom rom if the stock one is bootlooping on the at screen?
Thanks again, will go back to reading and trying stuff after dropping off my son to daycare.

Like many people have said, this phone is very tough to brick. I have brought it back from many of soft bricks before. First thing first are you sure it is a SGH-T959V ?
Next did you install the proper USB drivers for the phone?
Can you get into Download mode by having your phone off, holding down both volume buttons and plugging it in to the USB?

Yes its a sgs4g I can't get to download mode or recovery....I didn't know it was hard to brick and idk how it happened I was flashing like I normally did with my sgs4g didn't boot and I followed the instructions on how to recover from a soft brick and didn't work

You can't get into download mode? Invest in a USB jig.

Well.. no. Not if it's not flashing right to begin with. Try rebooting the pc first and see if that helps. It should flash and reboot your phone, and then you can flash bootloaders.

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
Kies and heimdall do not play well together. Stick with heimdall. All you need to get back to stock and root is here. What you should do is uninstall whatever drivers you have and start over from scratch.

Just a few simple steps and ill have you back up and running.
Sorry its taken a while to get back to you but, Ive been at the lake house for past two days
Hi guys. I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 D850 and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's stuck in a bootloop. I've tried just about everything but nothing works. I'm able to access both recovery and download mode, but every time I exit it, I just get thrown into another bootloop. Strangely, I didn't do anything to the phone recently, and it was working absolutely fine minutes before I noticed the bootloop.
First thing I tried was wiping everything and reinstalling the ROM. I am rooted and was running a Marshmallow distro of Resurrection Remix, with TWRP 3.0 (I think) running my recovery. I booted into TWRP and cleared everything, reinstalling the ROM. Didn't work. Okay, so maybe the ROM is to blame. Tried some different versions, still nothing.
I then tried flashing stock firmware using download mode, and kept getting errors at the beginning of the LG flash tool utility. After switching USB ports, it started working. However, after about 30 minutes, it would fail, and I would get a message saying it couldn't communicate with the device. I tried this multiple times to no avail.
Eventually, I ended up running the program one last time and left it for a couple hours. When I got back to check it, I was super relieved because the phone had apparently successfully been flashed back to stock firmware. Keep in mind this process usually only takes 4-8 minutes, whereas my phone took hours to get it done.
Finally, I booted the device, full of hope. NOPE. Bootloop again. I tried resetting it using the volume down combo, but it stays in a bootloop every time.
I am running out of options and getting desperate, and I really don't wanna fork out the cash for another phone if I don't have to. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Yes. However, I'm not sure if I was able to manually boot into download mode or the phone automatically did it. I did pull the battery before connecting the phone, and I did hold volume up. I just don't know if I physically put it into download mode myself.
New issue. Got to about 89% when I get an "fboot fail" error message. My phone is bootlooping again.
