Follow those instructions, or get a USB jig off ebay to reset. The jig works on this phone, I used mine to clear that padlock and erase the flash counter.
Thanks bud can you send a link to the jig?:thumbup:
EDIT:: determined found it.

No flash for jig. You turn off phone, plug into usb and it does its thing automatically.

Like I said, literally turn your phone off, once it's off completely, plug in jig. Jig will turn your phone back on automatically and put it in download mode. It will then erase the flash counter. You'll need to then pull the battery, and when you turn back on, lock will be gone. Good as new.

You can try to flash the below official ICS Stock roms via CWM, then try to reconnect with PC to flash via ODIN for complete stock.

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

Hello, I'm having problem starting my infuse, even with the battery fully charged I cannot start the phone.
The behavior is like this:
1. With the phone unplugged when I try to turn it nothing happen during the first seconds and after arround 8 seconds (keeping the on button pressed). The waiting symbol appears and then the something like an empty battery appears and then turns off again.
2. With the phone plugged I wait until the battery charging image appear, then there I press the on button and the samsung logo appears and follows the rest of the process.
3. I cannot start the phone in CWM (except from the extended power menu).
4. I can start the phone in download mode.
5. With the extended power menu I can restart the phone without problems.
Does anyone know any solution for this ?
Thanks
Did you try another battery? Your battery may be failing.

Yes, and it's the same behavior.
From what I can tell I would say your phone is not detecting/accepting charge from the battery correctly.
If you still have warranty then use it, but if not, try opening your phone up and check the contacts and wires that seem to be power related.
Search on YouTube for Infuse screen repair and follow the walkthrough on how to disassemble it correctly.
Option C, get someone to do the dirty job for you

Reflashing the unrooted original unbrickable firmwares via Odin or Heimdal gets rid of root. To get rid of Flash counter you need to reflash the pit file in 1 of the unbrickable firmwares. Doing this helps void warranty.

When you go into download mode at the top of the screen it says something like this...

Sorry to say this but you probably bricked it, you're gonna need a JTAG or a replacement. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Ever since I uploaded from 4.0.3 ICS my phone has been getting "stuck"... The screen gets crazy if I touch it, the other buttons won't respond. The only way I seem to fix it for like 2 minutes is by locking it and unlocking it... When I bough it, it came with 4.0.3... Since then I moved from ROM to ROM...
4.0.3=>4.1.2
4.1.2=>4.2 Cyanogenmod
4.2=>4.1.2
4.1.2=>4.0.4
4.0.4=>4.3.1 BeanStalk
4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.3 PAC
4.3 PAC=>4.3.1 BeanStalk
4.3.1 BeanStalk=>4.1.2
I left cyanogenmod because I didn't liked the look of my phone and because I wasn't able to play some of my favorite games.
I left BeanStalk because the camera.app kept crashing and forcing reboot.
I left PAC because the keyboard wouldn't show up and I wasn't able to finish the set up.
I left 4.0.4 because some apps were too new for it.
On 4.1.2 I get a lot of times stuck, but in other ROMs (even on Stock 4.0.4) the frequency of stucks were less...
I'm sorry for my awful english. I am from Argentina.
I'm really freaking out because each day my cellphone gets stuck even more!
Flash back to stock and if you still have problems it's probably a hardware problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

I am on stock. I placed 4.1.2 without any name because I was trying to say "stock. Not a custom". But if it worked before perfect on 4.0.3. How is that possible? I mean my phone fell a couple of times but from by bed... I don't think it would harm it a lot since I have a carpet...

Oh sorry I didn't understood before. Maybe it's screwed but the thing is that in BeanStalk it didn't got stuck but I wasn't able to use the camera. Also it didn't got stuck in PAC but the keyboard wouldn't show up and display error messages all the time. I might go back to 4.0.4 since it works better than 4.1.2 (in my case).
