9) Let the SGS4G go through the Fugu bootloop a couple of times. This is where your SGS4G gets Rooted.
10) Reboot to download mode once more
11) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse the ORIGINAL zImage (NOT THE ZIMAGE_PATCH VERSION!!). Click start.
12) Let the unit flash, then reboot. Download busybox to verify Root.

pull the battery then do the download command then insert batter while ur still holding the buttons!!!
i've already did that.
just go with the kg4 rom.
but how sir? i cannot even access my phone into download mode.
hey bud, got your pm. sorry i couldnt respond faster, had some family stuff i had to take care of. but regardless, onwards to fixing your phone!
start up odin on your computer and make sure you have the correct drivers for the phone installed. pull your battery out of the phone. then press and hold both the volume up and down keys at the same time. once you do this, plug in the usb cable to the phone and the phone should automatically go into download mode. leave your phone plugged into the computer and place the kc1 rom into pda, make sure repartition is unchecked and click start and your phone should be ok.
for the drivers and overall steps through odin, check out this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
for the file to odin, i would say to use kc1, which can be found in this link:

i know you said that you just want to get your phone working and you wanted to learn more, so this should do that. once you are comfortable with it again, we can work on getting you gb. i hope this helps and let me know how it goes.
did all the methods on how to get in to download mode but still nothing happen, it kept on rebooitng and rebooting via the FuguMod. losing hope to fix my phone.
thanks sir Jager555.
dude, don't panic, it is just a soft break
to go to download mode
1. pull out the battery and disconnect the usb.
2. connect the phone to pc with usb
3. while pressing volum up + down at SAME TIME put the battery in the phone
Yeah, it's just a soft brick, so it's no big deal. Try carefully redoing all the download mode methods. You might've accidentally missed a button, for all you know. Once you're in download mode, everything's good.
Please post in the correct sections. Thread closed.
Please help me. My Infuse 4G doesn't boot. All I see was light on the button. This what happened. I want to go back to stock and use [ODIN][UCKE3] Return to stock (Updated 06/08/11) by gtg465x . I right click on Odin and run as Admin. Odin see my phone on a download mode. I select infuse.pit on PIT, PDA in Pda, and Phone in Phone. then click Start. It got stuck at factory.fs (don't remember the name actual name). It stuck there for so long, maybe like an hour. Then I decide to unplug and pull battery out. close the Odin and redo the step again. This time the status bar went half way and then got stuck again. I left it overnight just to see if it's actually finish and it never did. Just stuck there. Turn the phone on and i only see light on the button. Is my phone dead? I can still able to get to download mode but the phone won't boot.
I done return to stock so many times and was successful. This was the first encounter I had where Odin stuck and never complete it flashing.
Try things like reinstalling the drivers, another pc, another usb cable etc.
Thanks. Will try that and also i will try this [ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11) since on FAQ #4 seem to be in my case. But if members had other recommendation, please post. thx in advance

Getting stuck on the factory.fs is pretty common here. You might try charging for a bit to see if you can get it to show signs of life. And that link up there^^^(UCKD5 Stock+Root+3e) has worked for me when gtg's didn't. Read the instructions for it carefully as you don't have to check as many boxes. You only need to load the file into the PDA slot. Also if you didn't have the drivers installed your phone wouldn't show up, so that's not your problem (although you could try re-installing them for **** and giggles)...
If THAT doesn't work try Adam's Heimdall one click HERE
If all else fails try a different PC. I had to and it worked like a charm.
Good Luck
Just my 2¢

Some times just trying a different USB port on the same computer will help to. Not sure why but on my laptop the USB port on the right my Captivate did not like for flashing but the one on the left side always worked right.
Thank you all for helping me out. My infuse is now back in business. I use [ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11) but this one got my phone to always boot in recovery mode no matter what i did. So i decide to try Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install [2.3.6] (FOR AT&T USERS) and then flash LinuxBozo's Defuse 1.5 kernel. Successfully flash it . However after using Heimdall One-Click, ODIN did not see my phone when it's in download mode. Besides that, everything went well.

Hey community.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Anyhow, my brother bricked his infuse last night. Apparently he tried to flash an incompatible cwm fw (Nexus S) and rebooted it, and now its stuck at the samsung logo. Secondly, i tried to push it into download mode and it continues to loop. I tried to connect it to Odin and it does not recongize the phone, however it freezes at a picture of a wheel (similar to windows hourglass) and doesnt move from there.
i'm assuming its perm bricked at this point, unless you have suggestions.
Others have mentioned "jig" and "unbrickable mod" although I could not find any details further than the terms.
Any help would be appreciated.
Just checking, have you tried this?:
Remove the battery, and disconnect USB.
Hold, and continue to hold both volume keys.
Continue to hold vol. keys, connect USB.
Insert battery and continue to hold vol. keys for awhile.
That should put you in download mode.

Lol next time try heimdale. It for me anyways works first try all the time. I only use Odin when i have to, other then that i always use heimdale. Make sure when you use heimdale plug your phone into another port. Ive figured out that a usb port only recognizes the phone a certain way, as heimdale uses different drivers that you install. On my laptop i have two ports that i do not usually use (one is dedicated to a bluetooth dongle/mouse) so one is set up for odin, the other for heimdale.
Yeah heimdall is the way to go...don't even need drivers...it uses its own special drivers that it will download for you if you don't already have them
Heimdall never fails me...but Odin...well Odin is kinda iffy

This is how i used the hemidall one click to stock here is what I do, below are how i perform using qkster's method...
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...
download this file to use the one click to put CWM mod on your phone

samsung i997 bootloop no bootloader solution
Dear guys i'm not saying this will be everybody's case but in my shop we got two of this phones with the issue mentioned above, in the two cases the issue was caused by faulty power button, so before you format or flash your samsung i997 i'll advice to go to youtube search for a diassemble video for your phone take out the main board and with your tester verify that your power button is working properly. If not try to replace the power button. i have soved the two cases that way.
Ok so made a big mistake and tried flashing back to a Gingerbread Rom after being on a Jellybean Rom. I know dumb. Now my phone is stuck on the samsung logo. I can't reach download mode or Recovery. On top of that my computer will not recognize my device. I'm hoping to fix this soon as possibe! Any help would be much appreciated!

Look for Heimdall suite and follow the instructions in the read me to reinstall the driver. Then use a heimdall one-click restore image. That should fix it.
You should be able to enter download mode no matter how messed up your phone may be..
Remove battery and place back in.
Hold both vol+ & vol- and plug in the usb already inserted to the pc.

Any ideas where to find those reinstall driver instructions? The main heimdall post in the infuse community does not have any instructions regarding re downloading drivers I believe. And no there is no download mode. I don't know how that is possible but it is. Download mode is not working on my phone.
I would also like to know the outcome of this, my phone also lost download mode. I'm not sure what happened, I was on the web and it just shut itself off and decided to bootloop itself.
I am almost 100% sure you can't lose download mode.

My friend is unable to get his phone into download mode. His phone loops constantly from the Samsung screen to the CM screen and then back to the Samsung screen.
Pulling the battery and holding down the volume buttons does nothing. Connecting it via USB just brings up the battery screen, but that loops as well (shows the 'thinking' icon then the battery screen). Odin does not recognize it, not sure if he's tried Heimdall yet. But even if he can get that to recognize it, will it do him any good if the phone is constantly cycling power?
As others above have stated, it is not likely you have lost download mode, most likely not performing all of the correct steps. If you do the steps properly and there is no download mode you will need to buy a jig ($2.) , can be found on Amazon.
Once you can achieve download mode, follow qkster's Heimdall instructions, post 1 will get you back to stock GB, and post 2 will get root access again. If you have Kies installed, uninstall it before doing anything else as it is a source of issues.
Note that you must have the latest version of Java. Also, use the same usb port on your computer each time you run Heimdall, be sure that it is a properly operating usb port as well.
Many thanks to qkster for the guide and Entropy for the kernel.

as Pony stated. The other reason we've been seeing the constant power loop is due to a stuck power button. You may need to take it apart and clean the power button.
Look thru the q/a threads...lately, the power button thing has been pretty common

Agreed! I've borked mine something awful before (namely, being careless and trying to go back to GB from JB) and losing IMEI, no recovery, etc. and could still get DL mode. I too had issues with Heimdall, albeit different, but if you use the same usb port (pull batt, plug usb in, hold vol. up/down....then put batt. in and continue to hold until DL mode)....go to control panel/system/device manager and find USB/samsung composite device, right click and update drivers. This is if Heimdall isn't working for you, use Odin v3 and flash GTG's back to stock. It will take you back to froyo unrooted. If Heimdall is working, like others have stated....be sure to have the latest java installed.
edit: If you can use Heimdall, it will prompt you to install correct drivers once you start the program.

Thanks guys for the quick replies (that I just now saw, lol... whoops!). His power button is actually broken on the board itself. He's made his own jig and gets it to boot up, but the phone itself is pretty much done as he's not able to do anything without the power button. He's looking at picking up a SII probably. Appreciate all the help though! :good:

Even with the pwer button broken, if the screen is still intact, a new replacement screen is closer to $135+.
He may be able to sell that screen pretty quickly for $75-$100.
His screen is trashed too, so he's pretty far up the creek without a paddle.
He's trying to sell it on eBay for parts currently. We'll see how that pans out.
Good Morning Everyone, This is my first post. I try to never post just read. I have read and read but to no avail. I have a AT&T Samsung infuse 4g. it WAS running froyo. What I mean by WAS, is that I was trying to install the modded 3e recovery so I could install clockworkmod recovery. During this process I read that I need to mount the /system partition as read/write I did this using the tool box that was created by some of your developers. It is awsome by the way. Well I did that and put a new recovery file in the /bin but it did not work as the website claimed so I thought well I should delete the old one. Bad Idea when I did the reboot it stopped me at the samsung screen. I tried to hard reboot it pulled the battery talked to it with a really kind voice and nothing happend. So I decided to use GEG's Ultimate Unbrick because this has worked for me in the past when i have messed up. So I put my phone into download mode and started the process with Odin. And here is where it gets bad.... one of my children was talking with me during the process and he decided to unplug my phone.. AHH EFFFFFF! I thought. Well when I tried to fix it it was to late. My phone will no longer turn on or even pretend to start. I am broke and cannot afford a new phone plus my wife would kill me seeing we have 6 children and it is right before christmas if I came home with a new galaxy note 2 Please Please can any one help a desperate dad with a busted Samsung Infuse. Thank you all for this awesome website that has taught me alot.. Please dont kill me for posting something someone has already posted because I could not find anything that was helpful for this situation with my phone.

Okay now I have really done it this time. So I worked a 18 hour day and thought well instead of getting some rest i will install Gingerbread on my infuse. To make a long story short while I was using odin to install it paused for a long time at the format stage, so I thought well I will just turn it off even though it says not to and then.....well it did a rainbow colored screen I tried to figure it out last night with no luck. So I have been working on it all morning the rainbow screen is gone but now it just goes from black to all white screen. I have tried every possible way to get into download mode with no luck. Am I screwed or what? Does anyone have any suggestions. If I am out of luck does anyone know if bestbuy's warrenty covers rooted phones that are [email protected] bricked?

I did read the thread about the power button earlier though and that is unfortunately not the fix either. I do appreciate the input you guys really do try and help! Maybe you can answer a question for me is there a way to get to the phone through command prompt? I really need this phone fixed. My wife has been telling me I shouldnt be messing around with it because im gonna break it. I really dont want to tell her she was right. I will never hear the end of it lol!

You're too kind, Merk.
I'm not sure what happened to your phone. The Infuse is pretty sturdy. Flashing should not cause much of an issue. The faulty power button and corrosion of the circuit board were the most I've seen reported.
This is what I use to force the phone into download mode:

Once in DL mode, it's a matter of choosing Odin or Heimdall to bring it back to stock.
One other thought, try a different battery as well.
I had the same exact problem. If the only thing the phone will do is go into download mode, then Samsung will fix it (if your still under warranty). They fixed mine and sent it back to me. Then I tried to flash another ROM on there and while it was flashing, I went to the store, and when I came back it said failed. Then it would only go into the other download mode. The one that has this (phone...!...PC). It wouldnt show up on odin 1.7 anymore. So I ended up trying a USB cable for my HTC evo v, and the drivers installed, then it popped up on Odin. I used G2G's Ultimate Unbrick (dude is a f-ng genius, all credit goes to him) and instead of putting the pit, PDA, and phone file on there and flashing, I flashed one at a time......then....I went back and flashed all at once and everything worked perfect. If your still having trouble with it, I can tell you exactly how I did it, and maybe that will work for you. Sorry to but in on this post and sorry it was so long of a reply. I just no what its like when you half brick an infuse. Mine was like that for 6 months because I couldn't get any computer to recognize it. But anyway, I hope I was helpful.

Well im going to give it a shot I still have the old infuse I tried to make my own jig which didnt work for me so I took it into bestbuy and they gave me a brand new phone and in all of the hustle and bustle of christmas shopping going on around me they did not take my bricked infuse so now I have a spare to tinker with. Thanks I will definately give it a try and report with my findings

okay I tried but that didnt work either. Can you go ahead and explain "exactly" what you did maybe it will work!
Thanks again for everyones help!
Ok first I downloaded the unbrick package from this website. I downloaded the drivers for the infuse (not sure exactly where I got them from). I would just Google them. Then I tried every USB port on the laptop. Then switched cables and it finally worked. Opened Odin 1.7 and clicked pit, then flashed. Then I unplugged it, took the battery out and put back in and tried to boot. Didn't work. Then flashed PDA. Did same steps as before and still didn't work. Then flashed phone file. Tried to boot and still didn't work. Then I flashed all 3 files at once. Also, not sure if you know or not but the only thing that should be checked in Odin is f: reset time. Then the phone booted up and it stayed on at&t screen for about 5 minutes then finally came on. Also, you could also try to flash this other PDA file on there. I have the link saved on my computer but I'm not at home right now so I'll have to post that later. In easier steps
1. Put phone in Download mode and plug into pc.
2. Run Odin as admin and only thing checked is f reset time.
3.Flash pit then try to boot
4. Flash PDA then try to boot
5. Flash phone then try to boot
6. Flash all three at once
7. After flash While in download mode, unplug USB cable, take battery out and put back in
8. Reboot phone.
Sorry everything is all jumbled, I just got back to my home state from a road trip and I'm running on about 6 hours of sleep in 3 days. I hope this works for you. Also, there is a video on YouTube of a unbrick service for the phone. Its $30. I personally would not try it but its just an idea if you would want to.

I had the issue where I had the phone, the exclamation mark, and the computer symbol (The Black Screen of Death: Imaged Attached), that is all it would show when I turned it on. I thought the phone was completely bricked until I did the following, which put it into a hidden download mode and allowed ODIN to recognize it. I DID NOT NEED TO BUY A USB JIG.
1. Make sure you have Odin already downloaded and ready to go.
2. Remove the SIM and SD Cards
3. Load up Odin and make sure it is up and running on the computer. DO NOT plug your phone into the computer yet.
4. Reinstall the Battery and plug the phone to the USB cable to the computer.
5. Hold down both Volume keys and then push and hold the power button
6. Keep holding the buttons until it goes to black, KEEP HOLDING A SECOND TIME until it goes to black and the icon comes back on.
7. Now when it goes Black the second time release the Power button only.
8. You should now be in Download mode. The key is holding the buttons, letting it go to black once, and then letting it go to black again, and then release only the power button while your fingers are still on the volume buttons.
9. Now Odin should recognize the phone on a Com port (turn yellow).
10. You are now ready to return it back to stock.
I hope this helps!
did you ever get your infuse fixed man?

Yes I tried to make my own jig but my fat shaky hands could get the end of the wires to hit the correct contacts so I ordered one online and that got me into download mode! Now I'm running jelly bean! Thanks to everyone that helped out I love you guys!!!! PS. Don't skip backing up your efs folder!! Unless you want a headache. But with all my problems it has taught me a lot. My number one tip is to read read read there is always an answer! Thanks again everyone! Always hit the thanks button its the least we can do for all of these brilliant hard working developers.
