Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though

Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.

Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.

Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

I just bought this phone yesterday off a guy from craigslist for $50.00 I cant do that.

Ooh you are the
poster from the other thread. Try uninstalling Kies and using these drivers.

You don't need to have tmobile. Just an imei number

Also, did the guy from craigslist give you a generic USB cord or the official Samsung one? Not all of the generic USB cord provide syncing features, so they just charge the phone.

When i plug the phone into the pc the phone just charges thats it.Not sure if its the right cord or not.
I ended up finding a unlocker the guys actually called me to make sure what phone I had now Im running with AT&T go phone.I left tmobile because of the service was just awful in the area that I had to move to.Now I can make calls and text with full bars.
I really want to get this phone rooted so I can try out some roms.I sure miss the G2x was fun testing all the different ones it had

you have to buy a new USB plug! Went tthrough the same problem on my old vibrant I thought I bricked it because it wouldn't turn on,I sent it in and tthey fixed it and sent it back.. still undergoing the same problem I asked a friend for help. He said maybe it was the wire And tthat's exactly what it was. It is most likely without a doubt the wrong wire. Buy a new one!

I actually never thought about that.Will have to try that.I have another post on this problem here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398437
That does make sense.Thanks for stating the obvious

My original cable got hosed (dropped it in a parking lot...D'oh!) and I bought a new T-Mobile branded one from the T-Mobile store. Was $14 or so, which I felt was robbery, but it works like a champ. I've had no problems flashing ROMs or anything with it.

I just looked the cord over man Im dumb and feel really stupid right now lol Its a LG cord.They say when you hit 40 ya go blind

Honestly, one wouldn't think the brand would matter. And no 40 jokes...hittin' 41 tomorrow

Oh just figured it was for just LG phones. It doesnt feel like it connects to the phone to snug either.

Samsung Infuse 4G won't boot!

A few months ago my brother's Samsung Infuse 4G "stopped working" and he went ahead and bought an iPhone 4. I'm now in possession of it and I can't get it to boot. I stuck it's battery in my Samsung Galaxy Note and the battery seemed fine so... Anyways Here's what it does when you try to turn it on: youtu.be/xNpmvbVpMJk
I'm really not sure what my brother did to it and he probably won't tell me...
Any ideas guys?

Well I just flashed it to stock firmware using download mode and upon rebooting it, it does the exact same thing...

Well now it's being iffy and SOMETIMES booting, but only with the USB cable plugged in.

Try this and click the flash boot loader check box should fix it

There's still time to send it into Samsung, the infuse hasn't been out for a year yet so the manufacturers warranty should still be valid.

Sounds broken.. I think that you should sell it..
No.. it's easily fixable.. but I really do think that you should sell it.. there's a couple of devs that are interested in getting their hands on the phone..

I think this may be an issue with the USB port...

If a jtag box didn't work, I think it might be gone. What did you do to it?

So the Jtag guy wouldn't service it, or tried to and failed? I would just send it to mobiletechvideos.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

I would be concerned with what caused this problem to begin with. Even if you pay to jtag it and it comes back to life if it bricked on its on like you said what would keep it from doing it again? Jtag might get it unbricked but if you have other problems they are still gonna be there when it comes alive.... I agree with xcrazydx mobiletech videos is great. If josh can't fix it then its unrepairable and cannot be fixed. Just search mobile tech videos in Google and contact josh with your problem and he will tell you what to do. I used him to fix a dead USB port on my old captive and he done a great job after others told me it could not be fixed he did it....

You'd be surprised how many people don't know whether they can or can't. How long have you had it and is it thru TMobile?

Then you need to call HTC and find out who you need to talk to to find out if your serial number is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If not, it's probably something you should have done BEFORE you made the purchase. I could be wrong but it sounds like someone passed a hardware problem off on an unsuspecting buyer. BUT....it MAY still be covered and they didn't know either.
Isn't it worth a try?

Where can I find there number and can u get me it please?

This is their online "Warranty Statement". But it does conflict with the results some others have had doing a return. It COULD be that they returned it thru their carrier.

Wow.
Not only are you hard-bricked, you hard-bricked after you were warned in your last thread to stay away from international ROMs.
There's nothing you can do but return it and hope you can get a warranty replacement. There is currently no fix for your predicament.

congrats

So what yor saying is that it would be easier and the same price to just get a new phone... Personally, I think they should charge more. You can't put a set price on the lack of knowledge and reasoning..
