So I'm rooting my friends infuse for him. basically flashed in odin but after that went through i was stuck at the samsung boot logo for 45 minutes. I did a battery pull and tried again with same result. So i tried getting back into download mode because it would not let me get into the stock recovery at all and it let me. Tried to reflash using odin and in the middle in the middle of it, it stopped and came onto the yellow triangle screen as shown in the pic. now cant get into download or boot or anything. ive tried using odin even though its not in download mode to flash a stock kernel but it just keeps connecting and disconnecting because now the computer wont read the device. Is there anyone who has had this issue and can help or have i completely bricked his phone. And for the record he is no longer on AT&T he is using straight talk so he cant just go into the AT&T store anymore. Thanks for any help you can give me
Try to use qkster hemidall package

I tried to install an update on my Galaxy S 4G to my Gingerbread theme on KD1 and I can't get past the original boot screen.....is there any way to boot into CWM? I installed it, except i can't seem to boot into recovery.
Any ideas?
I'd like to use ODIN as a last resort (and yes, download mode does work.)
If it doesn't boot pass the Samsung screen then you'll have to use Odin to fix. I had a similar issue this week with thay

I have the same issue but mine is a little more severe. I don't even get a boot screen. Nothing displays. I tried doing many variations to get into download mode but I cannot. So I'm stuck with a blank screen Odin doesn't recognize it my computer doesn't even recognize it. Please Help!!!

Pull out your battery. With your phone unplugged put your battery in but leave it powered off.
Plug your phones cord in your PC. Just the cord not the phone.
Now hold just the volume up and down buttons. While holding the buttons in plug that cord from your PC into your phone. You will see a yellow triangle or if your firmware is messed a symbol with a small phone and a computer. You can use Odin either way. You will see Odin recognize the phone if its done correct and you have the Samsung usb drivers installed.

I know I have to be doing something wrong. I have read everything everywhere and have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G & Vibrant 3G T959 BOTH stuck in recovery. Haven't touched them in about a week buttons just checked & still they go through the load to the TMO chime then black or I can get to download & recovery but have mounting issues. The Vibrant was rooted & SGS lost root when flashing joedevelopers rom (placing no blame on thread just providing information for possible help).
I read somewhere yesterday about using NVFash or SuperOneClick to get it going but each search leads me to instructions for other devices. I don't want brick either phone using the wrong files so I'm pretty much stuck.
Would appreciate instructions if anyone has the answer. I really have tried everything. The SGS was stuck at the phone ! computer screen shot first but the reloading the drivers and piecing together some code brought it back & now the SD card is not ready.

Okay, so i was flashing something in Odin and it wasn't responding after a long time so I pulled to plug. So my phone is bricked. I can't get into download mode or recovery. The only sign of life is sometimes getting a black screen with colored dots scattered across the screen. Odin doesn't recognize the phone but when I plug it into my computer I hear the device connected sound on my computer. adb doesn't recognize the phone either. I haven't tried a jig, but I'm a little iffy on how to make one and I was under the assumption that jigs only work if your phone shows signs of life. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
the phones soft bricked ive had the color dots too before but my odin recognized it
Holy sweet Jesus. I think I just unbricked it. Thank god for Heimdall. I managed to get that black screen with all of the colored dots on it and followed the instructions on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128412
I can't seem to get into download mode or recovery right now but I'm going to try and do it via adb
EDIT: Everything seems to be in working order other than recovery and download modes. I have to use adb to get into those modes, the button combinations will not work. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?

You probably need to odin or heimdall a complete rom with bootloaders cuz it sounds like the bootloaders are screwed

Hi
I may have bricked my phone.
So I did what everyone did this morning and flashed ep1q via cwm.
I got the boot loop.
Then I tried via odin.
Odin gets stuck at Initialization.. I waited for 30 mins before yanking and trying again.
I have now tried just to get a working phone using PIT file and stock roms.
When I turn on the phone I do not get the samsung splash screen. I get a computer and phone icon with a line connecting them.
Anyone have a suggestion?

mods please move to general...
now did you get it to work with a stock rom?
get your file from another source.
if you are on a desktop try putting the usb in the back of your tower.
make sure you have the correct drivers installed
maybe try a diff usb cable?
just a few ideas. hope it helps

No clarification needed. We have all seen that screen. It means your recovery is broke, you need to ODIN a stock image and start over. Check out the thread entitled "How to Fix Your Phone"
Can someone please help me?
Every time I try to flash a ROM using ODIN, it gets stuck on the movinand.bin.
My phone also says, "RX_TIMEOUT" in red.
I can't get past this. I'm stuck. Can someone please give me some assistance.
Make sure you put the battery back in after you get it in download mode. And use the stock ee4 and the pit file when you flash.

I've done both. I use a PIT file, and a stock EE4 to return the phone back to factory state.
Everything seems to load up fine, then gets stuck on factoryfs.rfs.
Phone again shows RX_TIMEOUT.
Is it possible that it has something to do with running it in bootcamp on a macbook?

was flashing a new rom and ended up getting stuck at the boot screen....and now I cant get it to reach recovery or download mode so i can fix it with odin. Another problem i am having (or was) is my laptop isnt recognizing my phone...i updated all the drivers, still no luck. But that was before I got stuck at boot. I switched my usb cord thinking maybe thats the problem, but now i cant test it cause im stuck at boot and the damn phone wont go into download mode......and suggestions?
Did you try to go into download mode with both cords?

yeah, i cant get download mode or recovery. been trying for an hour with no luck
What does it do when you try to get into download mode?

More details please? What rom were you trying to flash? What rom were you on?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I dont remember what rom i was running, because i Havnt used the phone in a while and recently switched it to prepaid and decided to start messing around with roms again...Im pretty sure i was flashing bionic black ice. Cant remember now, I had downloaded a few and was going to try them all out.
No matter what i try I cant get passed the boot screen. Thats all it does too, everytime i try to get d/l mode it doesnt do anything and just sits on the boot screen, nothing else
still no luck....looks like i might have to make a usb jig....doesnt seem too hard
Is this the way you're trying to get into download mode?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Download_Mode
please guys i need your help. My note ii wont load up
it can load into recovery
but i cant use odin or anything because the toolkit im using always waits for debugging mode to be on. I cant turn it on because i cant get the phone to turn on.
I tried using odin directly with no luck. it wont load the stock image on to the phone
The phone doesnt show up as connected to my computer but is recognized by the toolkit i am using
Please help, i just need to flash a stock rom back on this thing and be able to use it again. Its pissing me off because i literally just got it about 4 days ago for a substantial amount of money.
thanks for any help
found a way to get it to download mode to use odin but i am trying to flash a stock image to it and its just sitting here. not doing anything. it went throught the loading and everything in odin and started the flash, but it just sitting here now saying
write start
cashe.img
... now it is only saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Boot into recovery and flash the firmware from there (put it on the external sd card)?

What do you think happened to get the phone into this state?
