[Q] BRICKED Infuse....Maybe unfixable?

So basically I have tried every which way to fix this freaking phone from not bootlooping. I've had the similar problem, but somehow managed to get it to stay in download mode before, just so i could get it to flash a stock rooted rom, but now that doesn't even work. It just randomly started looping on me. This video shows what I mean....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BHn7mxQdQY&feature=plcp

When it got back to Samsung, were you able to do 3 finger salute and get into recovery. Hold power down till logo goes away. Fingers on vol up and down then release power button. See if that works. Jig kick started it but you might need to take it the next step.

Yeah I've definitely done that. But it just keeps going to the logo. When I put the battery in it automatically starts boot looping.

Your power button is faulty.
You can open up your phone and try cleaning the contacts.

Yeah that's what I thought, when you say the power button contacts, would that be the little white button inside?? I've taken it apart and done my best to get it unstuck or something.

Not quite sure. I have never had the need of dismantling my phone, but I have read something about the contacts, which sounds to me it could be beneath that white button.

Thanks I'll give that a shot!
Edit* Couldn't find anything to clean, next step is the mother board i suppose,,,

if you read the sticky [REF] |Read This b4 posting | THE MOST Common Questions Answered HERE you might of found your answer
24) Q. i tried "name of custom rom here" but a feature of the phone doesnt work , eg. camera
A. read the thread for the rom to see if the dev states any issues, read users feedback if they have/mention said feature not working, eg camera, if no, did it work when on stock or return to stock to see if said function/hardware works, if said function works on stock and users of rom states that it does work, then its usually user error, what error? idk, you need to troubleshoot.
32) Q. why does my phone bootloop every few seconds
A. could be a "sticky power button", read the next question and the info section in the 1STOP STICKY
33) Q. how do i test for a stuck "sticky" power button
A. TEST: remove then reinsert the battery and if the phone turns on by itself and then takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and then starts vibrating every couple of seconds then its for sure a power button problem, its stuck, goto the link in the previous answer for a possible fix

if any of the above didn't get results or fix the issue then it could be a hw failure

Except it's not bootlooping I did read this I wouldn't have asked the question if that was the problem. The screen doesn't come on at all just get a small vibration when holding the power button then nothing pull battery put back in push power same thing.

if the pulling battery test resulted in "turns on by itself and then takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and then starts vibrating every couple of seconds " then its a stuck button, bootloop/vibrating every couple of sec's are synonymous, but I will reword the sticky to state both
edit: the key thing you need to establish is if reinserting the battery restarts the phone w/out u touching the power button, if so then the button is stuck. if it didn't restart then return to stock and see if it corrected the issue( I guess that would be hard todo if the phone only restarts/vibrates every 2 seconds), if not then its some hw failure or could even be a battery prob
I reedited the sticky to be more concise on the issue and the testing for the stuck power button

No it doesn't boot by itself when reinserting the battery. Sorry I'm Utah and the phone is in Texas. computer doesn't recognize anything when plugging in either. Using logmein to watch his computer while he's doing this. I do appreciate the help

then see if they can get into the recovery and /or download mode, if so then wipe caches and reset or reflash the rom or return to stock

No download mode think it might be dead going to have him get a new battery then see what it does

Nothing just the little vibration on all the button combinations.

I figured as such that it might have something todo w/the battery,either it was flaky or not charged or cannot be charged which could also be with the charger and/or cable or bad battery contacts. I haven't seen a phone behave in the way you described other than a bad power button, if you ruled out all the known issues as stated in my previous posts then it would have to be a hw issue but hopefully it was just a bad power adapter, usually the first thing a user would do is rule out a dead battery before seeing what else could be wrong with the phone

[Q] MAXX won't power off when plugged in. Is there a fix?

Every time I try to power off my DROID MAXX when it's charging (be it a wall outlet or my computer) instead of turning off, it resets instead. Does anybody else have this problem? When I turn it off, then charge, it stays powered down, but it's still slightly annoying. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.

Mine does the same. Power off twice.

Thanks. When I try it later, are you saying should I hit the power button twice or just try again after the first reboot?
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app

Try it again after the first cycle.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for the help. Strangely, now it seems to be staying off on the first shutdown. I've downloaded a task killer and a few updates, so maybe it was fixed in the meantime.

I find also turning it on when plug in an issue. I have to hold the power button for so long and then it skips the M boot animation and goes strait to the droid animation.

Are you plugged into a computer or the wall?
Typically if you're plugged into a computer it won't power off.

I think you're initiating fastboot. There's a bit of a delay, so try holding the power button for only two seconds then just waiting for the normal boot animation.

S4 mini screen going black but buttons still function

Hi everyone, first post on xda
I have an issue with my s4 mini.
At random times when my phone is locked and i try to wake it up the screen stays black but my menu and back buttons still light up like normal so also when i push the power button again the lights also go off. The only solution is a restart or battery pull.
Has anyone else had this problem and does anybody have a solution? Thanks in advance!

Don't worry about that. Those tipic grafic glitches are usual in a lot of devices. I have a Xperia L and it is happening to me nowadays. Don't Worry!
LUCK!

I'm not really worried but it's just a real inconvenience when i have to restart my phone 6 times a day... it's not life threatening but it would be nice if that would stop
