Alright so I messed up my phone again, and I tried to Heimdall One-Click and it says "Uploading KERNEL KERNEL upload failed! Ending session..."
What exactly do I need to do from here?
All help is appreciated, thanks.
Do you have a JIG? I bought mine from ebay for a buck and it works.
Also even that download mode doesn't show up, as long as ODIN can see the COM port you can start flashing.
Another solution, would be using Heimdall one-click recovery with unbrickable mode, if you dare to open your phone and you are good at soldering.
Yeah dont do anything suggested above that involves taking your phone apart.
That is a alternate download mode. Click on the purple link in my signature, read the guide linked and then flash the one click I have. It will get you back to stock with root so you can flash any of the other roms for this device.
Can you be a bit more specific I really don't know where to start...

I'm guessing you haven't flashed back to stock before, use this guide to go back to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953878&postcount=2
Then you can go over to bhundven's One-Click Heimdall and flash AntonX's kernel, you can flash a custom ROM from there. Make sure to follow instructions, if you don't then there is a chance you're phone will be forever bricked.
Ok, i got it to work. But my phone is not being recognized as in download mode. It still says ""Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". And yes I did pull the battery out and back in, then held down power up and down and plugged it into the usb. Any ideas? :\

How can you brick your phone again for the 2nd or more times?!?! That's ridiculous, what were you trying to do?

Most of the time that is because of bad connection to the computer. Try a different cable. Heimdall is very finicky, you might try gremlin remover.

I tried a different cable, still nothing. And gremlin remover doesn't have any download links...
Try uninstalling the SAMSUNG/Android drivers, and restart the entire process. And this time try a different USB port, one that's barely used. Cause the port you might have plugged it in might be worn out.

Maybe its the actual phones port, because I tried it on my brand new laptop, and my older desktop. Both gave same error. Will try to reinstall drivers right now.

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

yup i have a gs4g but when i try to enter recovery the same message appears firmware upgrade fail

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.

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.
I have two samsung infuses my father gave me to put custom roms on. My personal one had ICS on it, and I never had a problem flashing it. These two both failed in odin. I'm just trying to get back to stock, but when i flash them they fail part way through, even tried one click and it failed on step 4 of 6.. If anyone can help, it would be very much appreciated..
Thanks
Either the connection was interrupted, or odin messed up. You could try flashing with heimdall, if you can get to the connect to PC screen, or download mode. If you can't, you could make/buy a USB jig to put it into download more and try flashing with heimdall.

To make things easier, you should download a heimdall one-click. That will get you going. I use stock uclb3, with boot loaders but you shouldn't need those

Uploading factoryfs, I just tried it again, and it failed at uploading kernel.. I just want to give these back, one stock, and the other with ICS.. I never had these problems the first time I ever flashed...
Have you tried running them as an Administrator? Sometimes that helps with flashing issues.

Yepp everytime, it seems like one tiny thing is holding it back.. I just tried flashing via odin again, and it stopped at factoryfs. Im going to reboot my computer for the last time tonight and seems if it works.
Have you tried reinstalling drivers? On a system running bot odin and Heimdall, drivers tend to get messed up. Uninstall the Heimdall drivers, then Odin. Then install ODIN drivers, then install the heimdall driver while the phone is plugged into a different port. This setup has always worked for me.

I've never uninstalled them because I could hook my infuse up with no problems and flash it.. I've used kies mini and reinstalled them though.
Well Kies only installs ODIN drivers, you also have to install Heimdall drivers using Heimdall. I would recommend switching usb ports also
Try switching usb cables. That may be causing the flash to get stucked

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.

Sorry for the delay, been busy. Try the instructions? Has nothing to do with recovery working. You need odin on your oc and kies ti install the drivers, if it wil go into download mode it can be flashed.
Agreed. Should still be a way to get into download mode, although you may have to use an alternate route. The most reliable method (without extra hardware) is to (once USB cable connected to PC):
Pull battery.
Reinsert battery.
Hold down both volume buttons and plug in the USB cable.
Voila!
