My samsung infuse just started this last night. it keeps looping the samsung on the screen. I cant power it down at all. If i take the battery out and put it back in it start back looping again like i turn it on. If anyone can give me any advice on what to do i would really appreciate it.

Have you tried booting into recovery? Is it running anything custom? Rooted?

Can't think of anything, no. Try plugging it in with no battery to see if it comes on and boots fine.

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.

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.

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

Do a stock flash via Odin or have the phone replaced if u a valid warranty
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
How would the warranty cover the phone if it ends up being rooted?

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.

I'm just curious what's meant by flash counter?

When you go into download mode at the top of the screen it says something like this...
"Custom binary counter: #" the # being replaced with how many times you've flashed through Odin/heimdal with out a pit

So my phone is stuck at the samsung boot screen and wont go past it. Not rooted but was at one point. Unable to get in download mode. Any suggestions?

What did you do before this happened?

Nothing. Hit the power and it said goodbye. Its stock unrooted. Keeps flashing and will not go in download mode.

Does it turn on automatically when you insert the battery?
If it does, your power button is stuck.

Hello,
So I was trying to flash back to stock after a failed attempt with cyanogenmod 10.1, and stupid me accidentally hit the phone button in Odin. Now my phone will start up, show me the "galaxy s3" screen and not do anything after that. Furthermore, my suspicion is that my home button does not work (even though it was working perfectly fine this morning). Because of this, I can't enter into download mode. My phone is effectively bricked. Any help or suggestions?
Randomly got it to go into download mode after hooking it up to the wall charger. Fingers crossed.
Even after this, it still won't boot correctly.

What did you do after you got it into download mode? You're going to need to Odin back to a full stock ROM

I plugged the phone into my computer and chose the correct file under pda. Then once everything seemed ready, I hit start. Odin gave me a "pass" and everything.

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

Oh. Will do. Don't know if its ok but when I connect device to charger it doesn't show the battery bar like it normally does, it shows a loading symbol. Hopefully its still charging. And it keeps restarting every 5 seconds

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.
