Ok total noob, but heres where im stuck. Ive somehow managed to screw up the system partition. when i reboot it says its unavailable, I'm able to get into red CWM. but my issue is also that I Cannot get the drivers to install on my pc (win7 64bit) i've tried both regular kies and mini kies and pc studio as well as the att usb modem drivers.
I've tried Odin but the phone wont stay visible long enough to allow it to flash, it will start but then the phone will disconnect and format will fail.
Any ideas fellas?
(update) drivers installed as Samsung USB composite device & Samsung Mobile modem, but I'm now stuck at the screen with a phone and a dotted line with an exclamation point in a yellow triangle that connects to a pc.
am currently downloading ult. unbrick and return to stock..and crossing all my finger and toes
FIXED!!!
switched to eSata port, which didnt recognize phone before. IT did this time, ran Ult Un. Brick and wala!! all better!!! Now back to see what I can do to this thingy! (btw Gtg465x there's a donation headed your way)
Try installing kies 32 bit or try another usb port then try odin.

I have always had good luck with Odin 1.8 when it came to the Phone - to - Pc error. For some awesome reason, it will view it as download mode. But also try another USB port, new drivers or even heimdall. I personally don't use windows unless its in a VirtualBox, I have 99.4% success rate with heimdal. Give it a try.
My phone would not stay connected for more than a minute. I use a particular USB port and I use a different cable.

HI all,
So yes I have already tried to google, and look through other posts but cant find anything that is my particular situation, heres what happened, Infuse was running on ZEUS 6.1 perfectly, I decided to install ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB3[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, Zipaligned, I followed all the instructions, installed ROM, disabled VooDoo lagfix and then the stock kernal, after that the phone just didnt come back to life, the result is currently on the SAMSUNG logo, I can go into recovery just download mode but my USB is not detected either, when I install the drivers it doesnt do anything, tried KIES and other drivers from SAMSUNG, also removed USB ports, restarted, and tried other pc's and laptops and same USB error, even tried on linux, no luck, can anyone please help, I love this phone and the ROM, I have no idea why I attempted to do this but need help.
Thanks all[/FONT]
This happened to me lately but I was on stock froyo. Seems like my usb cable was for charging only. When I bought one that said it was for charging and data, the Infuse was recognized instantly. I am a noob here, but hope this is all of your problem.
Yep, thats what I'm starting to wonder, if its the cable, I am using the microUSB cable that came with the phone from SAMSUNG, never was an issue before, would connect and trasnfer data without a problem, also tried a few blackberry cables no luck, the crazy part is I cant even go to recovery mode, it only goes to download mode, wondering if I can copy some files to the SDcard to boot off with.
If you try everything and it does not work, contact me I know a guy you can send it to for it to be unbricked. When he unbricked mine, he noticed the usb controller somehow glitched and can never be fixed, resulting in a whole new device needed (he tried replacing the usb hub, did no good). Thats what happened to me, make sure to try everything first though.
So after trying a dozen cables, nothing seems to work, I should have known this when the OS was still on ZEUS and I attempted to connect via USB which I received USB not recognized message, I have tried the same SAMSUNG cable for a blackberry and it installs perfectly, so its not the cable, my understanding the USB port on the Infuse is bad, is there a way to boot into recovery of an SDcard so that I can install ZEUS back? I only have "download" mode working, recovery for some reason does not come-up, I am really trying to avoid throwing this phone in the garbage, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Clarification?
You can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see the phone? I don't think you have said anything about trying to do anything to the phone in download mode.

That's exactly it, I can get into download mode just fine, once I connect to pc I get USB device unrecognized, although the drivers are installed, so the crazy thing is I have been on here since the days of Infused downloading and updating ROMS back and forth, never posted anything, even when I had an issue back when, I was able to go into recovery and do what I need to do to bring it back to life, almost felt like an expert given the amazing advice here, never had an issue till now, please help.
I had accidentally set my Infuse in an "almost" empty cup, not realizing that there was still about an inch of lemonade at the bottom. This unfortunatley screwed my USB recognigtion to my computer. It can charge, but is no longer capable of transferring files via USB. There is, however, Kies Air. This has been such a lifesaver!!! You can transfer files to and from your phone, and I have transferred Zeus and Aeon to my SD card through Kies Air. I installed Aeon on my phone no problem and it is working flawlessly You only need to download the Kies Air app to your phone. No special drivers, apps, or software is needed for your computer. If anyone has any questions on how to do this, you can PM me or just post on here.

Doesn't help much when he is only able to go to download mode, or sick at Samsung screen. I was having a similar issue. Odin was not recognizing my device but heimdall 1 click worked like a charm. Give that a shot, let me know how that works out for you.

i got it connected to my friends laptop and i flashed infusion kernel 1.0 through odin.. it failed..
and now i can't even get to download mode.. it only shows pc!computer image/..
I have had this problem a lot too. I believe that the problem is with the cable from Samsung. It's crap. Just by chance I noticed that my friend's Kindle cable had the same usb plug. I tried that and it hasn't disconnected once.

then try Hemiball if odin is not working. I remember somewhere that drivers are particular to the port you are using. With hemi if you are asked you might not see the driver the first time. click the dropdown and located from there
Samsung usb driver.
for Windows 32bit
for Windows 64bit
Your computer remove all samsung driver and kies, restart completed.
Install samsung usb driver and connecting usb test.
Had exact thing happen to me !!! not bricked!
as the others have said need to try and get it into dl mode! need a GOOD data cable "thats how i got that pretty screen" your data cable caused this issue odin says i see phone then all at once say just 7 seconds into update odin says ooopsie no phone. then when you go to redo poof you get that screen i freaked! turns out it was data cable!
you may need i think its called a "jig" if buttons wont allow you !
once you get that yellow triangle your good to go !
i have odin and all the kies files installed and i tried restoring it once and it did not work and now it shows a phone and computer when i go to download mode and when i plug it in to the computer it dose not show up on odin anymore! how do i get my phone fixed. can someone please help me!?

GTG...Good To Go....LOL
Try different usb cables and different ports on your computer. I have three ports on my laptop. One wouldn't connect with Odin, one would connect but would stop half way through the process, and the last one finally made it through.
Other than that you could try heimdall. And then try switching called and ports with that. You just have to keep trying and eventually it usually works. The last option is to buy a usb jig. That will give it a much better chance of getting a good connection.

Hi,
I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V).
I tried flashing it with a few kernels and roms and suddenly i got my screen always flashing.. (like all LED was up and running )...
Decided to flash again, and my phone went brick.
My phone wont respond to anything , and when i connect it to the computer the computer wont recognize it.
I brought a USB jig to reset it and get to Download Mode. i actually enter Download mode but the computer still dont recognize the device.
I've tried all kind of drivers ( Samsung Kies, and more ) but i got another SGH-T959V which the computer actually recognize, but only my brick device wont get recognize...
what could i do? ( I have no warranty and i bought the device abroad... so returning to samsung isn't a real possibility )
What did you use to flash? Odin?
I had a bad time with Odin
Especially that I got one of those devices that can't enter download mode. But that was in the past, I have a refurbished T959V direct from Samsung
If you haven't tried Heimdall, you should try it and maybe Zadig has the right drivers.

Yeah, i tried heimdall with zadig.. it doesnt recognize my device :\
If you can get to Download Mode, did you try 1-Click Gremlin Remover? It has saved me from a soft brick a few times after I have flashed and reflashed over and over again. Here is the thread, but looks like Thomas.Raines had to pull the file from DropBox due to issues. You might touchbase with him and see if he can give you a link to a copy on a mirror site. It is a great lifesaver. The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427

The main issue is that my computer wont recognize the device! this particular one, since the other galaxy S 4G i have get recognize fine!
I will try the one click you showed.. but im guessing it wont do the trick.
Don't you love it when you CLEARLY state that your phone WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED BY THE COMPUTER but yet people instantly start telling you to do things that require you being connected to your computer. Lmao. Did you try different usb cords, different usb ports, or even a different computer? You can download a program called usb diag and use that to COMPLETELY remove the drivers and re-install them and see if that works.

Joshhayes801 - Thanks for the reply.
I have another Galaxy S 4G which get's recognized great..
I even removed all drivers, re-installed kies, mini kies etc...
The other Galaxy S 4G i have get's recognized very well... only this device is not.
i've tried all ports. (not different cord since i do not have another one ) .. and changed drivers all day long.
I used usb JIG to get to Download mode ( its the only way... ) and still get's "Not recognized" ...
There was a guy who said recently he really had to jam the USB cable into his phone for it to get recognized by zadig. Maybe yours is finicky like that too

My old SGS4G was like this, turns out it had a messed up usb port, it was all loose and ****. At that point the phone was under warranty so I got a new one. Maybe your usb port on the phone is jacked. Just a thought. Seems nothing else is working. You can find a usb port on eBay and repair it or if you have insurance send it in for a new phone or a repair.
