[Q] Samsung Infuse 4G white screen brick. Help!!!

Hey whats up, I have messed up my Infuse and I need some serious help. I was flashing back to stock and Odin stalled so mid process I pulled the plug (stupid me).
Now all the phone does is show a white screen and nothing more, I cant get to download mode or anything. The white screen is constant, its not flashing. It wont connect to windows neither. Is the phone completely toasted or is there a chance because I have searched all over and couldn't find my particular case. Help me plea, help me plea. Nah, joking aside I need your brain power because unfortunately mine is full of air!

I can try to help

have u tried a download jig or taking the battery out and then (while holding volume down) putting the battery in? sometimes that works it worked for me when i couldnt get it into download mode

Yeah ive done the jig thing and still to no avail. I am starting to think that irt is completely finished.

I'm in the same boat now. Odin froze, unplugged cable to restart process and now have a solid white screen. PC makes a noise as if it's connected, no access to phone and unable to get into download mode. Please help.

Guys I would suggest to try different factors and experiment.
:thumbup:Try a different USB Cable.
:thumbup:A different USB port.
:thumbup:A different computer/PC perhaps.
:thumbup:Also make sure u reboot the computer you just freshly installed the up-to-date Kies drivers.

[Q] Flashed wrong clockworkmod,now phone wont boot?

I think I may have bricked my phone. I flashed the wrong clockwordmod,with ROM manager,I accidentally hit the wrong phone type. I followed advice I found another forum,to take out the battery,boot into recovery,and then flash the correct clockworkmod. But when I went to boot into recovery,I discovered,Lo and Behold,the damn thing wont boot. I have a a Samsung Galaxy Prevail (Im sorry I couldnt find the forum for it.)
Im wondering,is there anyway at all to fix this? I would love it if there is a solution,Anything,any ideas. All are welcome,please and thank you.

You say it won't boot, does it not turn on at all?! or does it just get stuck at the android logo? if it gets stuck at the android logo you should be able to boot into fastboot, connect to the PC and flash recovery via there.

Wont turn on at all... Sorry I didnt mention that,Ive tried taking out the battery,then holding the volume up and power at the same time,no luck,just holding power,nothing,Power and home,home and camera,etc...
Nothing is turning my phone on. It wont boot at all,its just a black screen. I plugged it into the charger,same thing.

Hate to break it to you but if there is no life coming from it, not turning on into any mode, don't think there is much you can do...

I assumed as much,but I just wanted to be 100% before I gave in and bought a new phone. Thanks though.

Did you try to turn it on by USB cable? Hold Volume UP and plug in the USB cable that will be connected to your PC. If not, try other combinations, like Volume DOWN, HOME and POWER.

No,I hadnt tried the USB cable method actually. Sadly,it didnt work. I have been trying the other button-combinations,nothing. My phone wont even light up when i put it on the charger,it just stays on the same black screen. I havent seen anything but the black screen since I originally removed the battery to install a new clockworkmod.

I've had a similar situation happen to me. You probably mucked up your android OS badly. And for those who don't know, without a proper android OS on your phone, the device can not charge from a standard wall charger or something like this. I've seen people tear a USB cable down and manually charge it like that.
You're battery was probably close to death, and if it wasn't, then something happened that drained it quickly. So try stripping a USB cable and then try turning it on.

I had an issue with my Sensation going back a few months, I was restoring it to stock, when the phone crashed (plenty of battery), and since then the screen does not display anything.
I did some fairly in depth investigation into it, and it turned out that it's a hardware rom issue, and apparently it is something that is repairable by HTC. I would assume Samsung would be the same. But, tbh I'm not sure how Samsung would respond and if they would be able to assist you...
Sorry for your loss!

Its usually pretty tough to reallyyy brick a phone. Similar to a zombie, however I do not recommend shooting or taking a chainsaw to your phone.
Try this take the galaxy plug it in usb into a computer.

Download the jar file. Install when it asks for drivers install the samsung composite run it and if it works (who knows) ull at least be booted into download mode.
If you've already tried it eh if not
Good luck.

[Q] Phone won't charge, no LED, USB makes on/off sounds but won't recognize device

Hello! Last night, my phone died while I was out. When I got home, I plugged it into the wall charger and I noticed the LED didn't come on. I left it charging overnight for about 6 hours and tried to turn it on - no luck. I read on another topic that you needed to charge it to ~2% through USB for it to begin charging on the wall if it's "too" dead, so I left it on my laptop for an hour but again with no luck. I did notice that my laptop couldn't recognize a device though, and since my phone was the only thing plugged in, it means my phone was 'on'. I held the power button and the device disconnected, held the power button again, the unknown device reconnected. So my phone is turning on and off, so I wondered it was my screen. I turned it on, but no sounds worked when I messed with the volume button, so I'm going to rule the screen out. Despite being able to turn 'on', I can't get into recovery and it won't truly turn on.
I'm rooted and unlocked, running a version of PA, though I haven't updated it in some months and haven't downloaded anything other than a picture or two to my phone recently, so I don't think I've bricked it or anything.
I've never used ADB or fastboot or anything like that, so if there's a solution through that I'd be happy to try it out. If there's anything I forgot to mention, please tell me!
Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

This has happened to some people. It seems like going completely dead can somehow corrupt something in the firmware in rare cases.
Open Device Manager and plug in your phone, then see what pops up. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, your phone has bricked, but it may be fixable. Check into the Unbricking Evita thread and see if the guys there can help.
Failing that, get a warranty exchange.

Try different button combinations (hold power, or hboot combination) while the phone is plugged into the wall charger. At least one person I was trying to help, got his phone to power on this way, when nothing else seemed to work.

Sounds like you're phone is in qdl mode. i second trying the unbricking thread.

[Q] Phone wont turn on unless plugged in and is stuck loading

First off i want to apologize if ive posted a question thats already been answered, this is a problem i have no clue what to search and look for and believe me i tried, and if i posted in the wrong fourm section.
To start things off i got a phone from a friend today, but the phone has a huge problem. He tried rooting an LG Optimus s, and succeeded, but later on tried unrooting it and i have no clue on what happened. The phone will not even power on unless plugged it, and when it is plugged in and booting, it boots to the LG logo for a certain amount of time, then just resets. the cycle repeats it self for a while and im pretty sure it wont stop. the phone wont even charge. I cant put it in recovery mode cause it wont turn on unless i have it plug in. Any solutions?

s7 hard bricked (qualcomm version)

Hi,
I flashed a rom that did something bad to my phone. After reboot it just stays black without any response at all.
I've tried all the key combinations and just tried the USB Jig (confirmed the jig worked on my S3) but nothing.
Is there any way to get into download mode?
I've heard about JTAG, but not sure if that will work.

First, try to connect the phone to your charger to see if any LED lights up, if this doesn't happen, try connecting the phone to your PC and see if ODIN detects the device, if that also doesn't work...the best course of action would be to send it in for repair, although chances are you've hardbricked it.

Possible it is stuck in some sort of loop, without having any LED to indicate it would be impossible to know
The charger doing nothing seems strange though
If you had an LED showing I'd suggest waiting for the battery to drain then trying to enter download mode again, but I guess if you've tried everything else and are considering opening it anyway for a JTAG, then disconnect the battery first, see if you can get back in after reconnecting it

Yea tried all that but no luck.
I will try for the JTAG, but need a heater I doubt a hairdryer will be enough to pull the back off.
Also need the JTAG machine itself

opened the phone and removed battery but still nothing, it seems JTAG is the only way.
anyone knows how that works?

Are you getting some sort of output?
I'm using the Exynos variant, I've yet to encounter anything that wasn't solved by holding power+vol down+home for 40-50 seconds (it'll boot to download mode eventually usually)

Tried for one minute and no result.
No output at all, nothing gets recognised in windows. No LED, no nothing...

Well, some users also reported sudden blackout with no response at all, it turns out it was an emmc failure. He then proceeds to send in his phone and luckily, it was replaced. Your mileage may vary, you could try playing "dumb" with Samsung. After all, with the phone dead there's no solid way to tell if KNOX was tripped.
