Which ROM did you flash
If it is stock Samsung ROM then you must have hardbricked your phone. If it is the case you needJTAG to unbrick your phone

Pull the battery out, and put it back in, hold the volume down, and home button and power button at the same time and see if you can boot into download mode because since you didn't flash a bootloader there is no chance that you bricked your phone. Then flash a ROM. To be on the safe side flash a froyo ROM such as purumod
Click thanks if i helped.

yup always check do the .tar file has boot.bin and sbl.bin ..if yes then there is bootloader and if something went wrong then u may hardbrick the phone...and remember never pull out the usb, or remove battery or try to interrupt the Odin while falshing..if at all anything went wront just reflash the ROM

give a try to force upload while flashing rom
hold home button+vol up+ power
connect usb only when you see the force upload screen
flash the rom.

If you are not able to see boot logo of i5800 then I think you might have burnt out something in your phone and in that case it is not a hard brick

As far as I know it is impossible to hard brick a phone by using CM9 firmware

Just try repairing it yourself or throw it away. Samsung will just charge you loads of money for no reason.

It its not samsung fault
As all the components are soldered together on the motherboard even failure of a small part in it needs complete replacement of motherboard
Burning out some component in a scenario like this may need complete replacement of the motherboard

If you can get into download mode use Odin to flash another rom.

What Exodian said, but make sure you have some charge on the battery first. Else it might happen again.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Try Odining the KC1 ROM posted by RaverX3X if you can get into download mode. That usually clears up all problems.
get a usb jig $6-$8 soft bricks will never be a problem.

Hard bricked is very hard to get out of so go get it repaired

@The person above, that's probably because you had a warranty.

Weird... Take out the battery wait a minute then force Recovery mode... If it works clear cache and Factory Reset.

Pull battery back, press power+vol up+vol down... When Samsung logo shows up release power button (keeping holding up&down buttons) until recovery appears.

Looks more like you need to flash GB bootloaders. Qkster has a stickie that talks about it and using Heimdall.

This happened to me when I tried to update to the official UCLB3 using Kies Mini. I flashed back to stock using GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and then used Kies Mini to update to UCLB3 (giving me GB bootloaders). I've been flashing ROMs since without any problems (after rooting and adding a custom recovery, of course).

Does Heimdall recognize the phone? If, yes flash the bootloaders. If not, report back as to what you are doing to get to download mode.

No heimdall is not recognising my phone......when I plug in USB computer plugin and plug out sound of USB continuously

And when you get into download, do you:
Take battery out
Hold volume up and down in, no power button
Plug USB into computer
Then put battery back in?

[Q] Infuse SGH I997 AT&T brick [HELP!!!!!!!!]

Hello all. I've seen a few similar cases, but I still don't know how to go about it. I bricked my cousin's Infuse 4G when I tried upgrading to 4.2.2 using rootbox rom. Now its stuck at samsung logo. CANT enter recovery or download mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
List the steps you used to try and upgrade and will be easier to help fix the issue.

Thanks, I followed the guide on this page teamandroid. com/2013/02/17/update-att-samsung-infuse-4g-sgh-i997-android-422-carbonrom-jelly-bean-custom-rom/2/ (can't post links. Yet ) that's how it got bricked. I've been finally able to go into download mode and Odin sees it on my pc but it reboots after 10 seconds or so. any idea about this?
Okay its gonna sound dumb but give your phone some time to charge. Next look in the infuse xda thread and get the heimdall one click back remedy .... For some reason Odin is great but the heimdall is more stable. Go to download mode and just flash back to stock.
Look for qkster thread for the heimdall and instruction.
Good info on getting to 4.2 or three is go to scott.harts thread and read the op for the proper instructions on working up because u have to go to rooted froyo the flash to GB then flash to ICS then finally to the jellybean ... I know there are short cuts but u can end up with headaches I prolly seen them all
PS. Make sure u turn off all antivirus software on PC it can screw up flashing process

Thanks for your replies. I'll try a few options and let you know how it goes. I think it's the battery cus I could turn it on without connecting it to power and it doesn't turn on by itself when I insert the battery. But now I cant turn it on. And the rebooting process stops when I takeout the usb cable
Okay, decided nit to leave this thread hanging (irrelevant I know). I got a fully charged battery and was able to flash desired custom rom to device and now running smooth on 4.2.2 rootbox rom. thanks xda
Cool glad to hear your running.

[Q] Cant enter CWM menu..

My phone can enter cwm just from ROM manager but when i try with hold Power + Volume down + Home botton, it doesnt work..
Need help because i got boot loop, my phone stuck on ROM Logo
Need to know what phone you are running. For the s3 unplug the device hold power+volume up+home. Once it boots let go of the power. You should see blue writing in the top left of the screen. Vol down is for Odin. Hope this helps.

Have you ever accessed fastboot, in the past? Some phones do not have it.

I think your phone may be soft bricked.....but just its my own thinking you may try another procedure also.
