What did you do before this happened?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
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.

Ok my xoom 2 has been password locked thanks to my 10 year old brother who doesn't know what the password is.... (oh yay) unfortunately usb debugging wasn't enabled so running any commands to hard reset my xoom is a no go.
I have searched and searched for the last few days with no success in finding a solution so i'm going to have to go beneath the hood and have a play around.
I already know how to tear down the xoom as I've already tried doing a battery pull.
Does anyone at all know anything about the internals that I could pull to wipe the device or return it to stock?
I really don't like the idea that I have spent a few hundred dollars on a pretty looking frisbee.... :-/

I have tried so many times to enter recovery and I can't, I can only get into debugging mode using volume - and power.

Alright I'll give it a few more goes I have heard it can be a bit tedious to get into by making the right timing to press the buttons.

Follow those instructions, or get a USB jig off ebay to reset. The jig works on this phone, I used mine to clear that padlock and erase the flash counter.
Thanks bud can you send a link to the jig?:thumbup:
EDIT:: determined found it.

Yea thats the link I posted the question to before I posted here. I was just wondering if there was a more straight forward answer for Verizon customers.

No flash for jig. You turn off phone, plug into usb and it does its thing automatically.

Like I said, literally turn your phone off, once it's off completely, plug in jig. Jig will turn your phone back on automatically and put it in download mode. It will then erase the flash counter. You'll need to then pull the battery, and when you turn back on, lock will be gone. Good as new.

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

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

I soft bricked my att atrix again. I used rsd lite to get back to stock. At the end of it it says to power my phone back on. The phone is already on tho. I used these same files many times already. I tried afew times now. Pluging my phone in my computer does nothing but charge it now. Any ideas?
