I am trying to fix this infuse i had aquired. The main issue i am having is when i goto power it on it flashes the battery charging screen. the only way to get it to turn on normally or to go into recovery mode is to plug the charger into the phone when it shows the battery charging screen. no issues getting it into download (odin) mode. Has anyone else had this issue? i have replaced the battery, flashed cfw and sfw(GTG, Hemdall and MINI KIES). i have tried looking for the bootloader here on xda to flash but cant find the bootloader files.

I was flashing a I1900 rom, Amestris. I did a full wipe and a wipe of delvik started to flash the rom and during the flash the screen went black. When I try to start it back up if I hold the power and the vol up/dn the samsung screen comes up but just for a split sec and then goes back off with almost a tv animation?. I cannot get to either download or recovery at this point and of course not with adb either. acts like a dead battery? but the battery was fully charged. When plugged into the charger the charging emblem does not come on either?
Any help out there?
Nevermind, got to download!

Yes, that is exactly what I did. My problem was that I could not get to download. Thus I could not acomplish this. All is good now. I got download, flashed to stock and back to my daily. I just do not know how it stopped in the middle of a flash and shut down? I will try to duplicate it later.
TV screen? Did it maybe look like a "Phone-to-PC" screen?
That's the "You're not getting anywhere until you flash something" variant of download mode, but it IS download (Odin/Heimdall) mode.
Or you may have flashed a ROM that had an autoreboot in its script so it's a bad kernel - so enter download mode and Odin away. You might get away with just Odin/Heimdalling a Hellraiser-compatible kernel to get you to CWM.
To enter download mode:
Pull and reinsert battery
Hold VolUp/VolDn (but NOT power)
Plug in the USB cable to the phone when it's connected to a PC

No it was not that screen.
It looked like the screen off animation of some roms where it looks like an old TV. I have seen lots of soft bricks but this was new. As soon as the samsung screen came up it instantly went off. Very hard time getting into download also. It was also the firt time I ever had a phone stop in the middle of a flash, on it's own and become soft bricked. I have been back on Dario's, Darky's and now Infused since and all is good. Just not sure how it happened. I plan to try to duplicate just to find the real cause and warn others. Unless it was just a odd fluke of sorts...
I try to upgrade my samsung vibrant from Factory stock Eclair to ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_Vibrant using ROM Manager. ROM Manager backed up my current ROM and when it rebooted it's stuck on Vibrant Samsung Screen. I tried couple of times pulling battery out but it didn't pass this screen. I can't go to download mode too. Please help
try holding power and the volume up button without it plugged it in? if that doesnt work you need to make a download mode jig http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Thanks for the Info. It worked. I hold volume up and down button (no Power button) and connected USB cable and it worked. I successfully installed this ROM. Only problem I noticed is brightness. Auto brightness mode is too dark.
i have a samsung infuse and i was charging it last night and i want to upplug it, it started acting stupid and i pulled the battery and now it just keeps restarting on its own. comes up with the samesung logo and then restarts again. as soon as i put the battery in it starts doing that.
I cant get into recovery and i cant get into download mode.
all ive done to in is rooted it and installed ClockworkMod recovery. but that was about 2 months ago and i have not done anything else.
Please help,
Thanks
Pull battery, hold both vol buttons, plug in usb = download mode.
Wife was running CleanRom 2.1 for a week or so. Yesterday she goes to wake the screen and the phone wouldn't wake by pushing any buttons. She pulled the battery and tried to boot the phone with no success. At this point we are stuck with the attached (IMG_01.jpg) image when plugging the phone into a USB port. Plug it into the wall charger and you get the same image however leaving it on this charge for a while brings IMG_02.jpg. Unplugging the phone from the cable results in no power at all to the device. This means no Download/Recovery Mode from battery only.
On to plugging into the computer. By quickly inserting the cable and pressing the keys to enter Download mode i can successfully enter Odin mode and flash files. From here i have flashed full stock images and still no full boot success.
So, next I can boot into recovery (sometimes, again only plugged in) I was able to wipe following stock odin flash. After rebooting from recovery i can see the samsung and galaxy sIII boot logos then the stock VZW 4GLTE boot animation(with sound). once i get to the language select screen and move to activation the phone shuts off and goes back to the empty battery with a circle in the center (IMG_01.jpg).
So far I have tried:
1. Different USB ports/cables - Incl. OEM (connection appears to be fine to the system either way though)
2. Flashing full stock images in odin with PASS results.
3. Ive tried to unbrick using the methods found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
Im looking for any help or suggestions on moving forward here. Overall there is no power to the device without plugging in the cable. I have tried another battery still with no power. I have thought about flashing the insecure bootloader however i have not found a way to do this in Odin if it is possible at all.
ODIN MODE (Reads as follows)
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLED
Thanks in advance for any help at all. If you share a similar problem please post as well, may help narrow down the cause and eventual fix.
With my ability to access ODIN MODE and boot to the setup screen, does this mean i have a good chance at recovery?
Looks like you might have a bad battery.
I tried another battery and that's not working.
This morning I had a green LED (charged) light. I woke the screen to the lock screen and it seemed to stay on. I couldnt get past the activation since the sim is no good. ( I had to deactivate it with vzw to activate a temp phone.) I eventually pulled the plug to see if it would hold charge but it just shut off and I wasn't able to boot up again.
The same thing happened to my first s3. You will need to get a replacement.
Hi,
I tried flashing a ROM on my Galaxy S8+ using Odin yesterday and as I haven't flashed a Samsung before, I failed, which led to a bootloop.
By pressing and holding VOL - and POWER, I can turn the device off.
What doesn't work is putting the phone in either Download or Recovery mode.
It's not recognized by my computer through the USB-C cable and it doesn't always respond to being charged.
Sometimes when charging it, it boots up by its own and thus bootloops.
Is there any way to fix this? The Samsung Logo in the bootloop gives me hope.
Greetings
maybe if u datail what u did spet by step and how r u trying to go to download/recovery more can help.
