This is a hard question, any help will be appreciated. I have a phone that is pretty much bricked for good, either i will get a replacement phone, get it sent to a special guy to get it fixed (yay!), or just get the skyrocket. What i need, however, is to pull the files off of the phone from the whole sdcard pretty much. I know adb can be used, i just need the commands to do so. Remmember, download mode is really the only mode that it will go into.
Edit: Here is the video of the movie i just posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHLUYckTlug (last i checked it is processing, may be bad quality) post ?s here please!
If all you want is the files from the sdcard just take the card out and put it in your computer.

Now I have no experience with this phone at all. But on other phones. If you can get in to download mode you can normally un brick your phone.

i think ur phone is soft bricked since it still turns on and u can get to download mode right?
ive had the exact same problem 2 weeks ago.. actually i couldn't even get to download mode.. but i bought jig from ebay and that fixed it
you should try getting a new usb cable or try different usb ports on your computer
and make sure to get kies for the driver installed on your computer
hope this works!!

I have download mode and everything, but if you want to waste 7 minutes of your life (LOL) i am posting a video now. I will try anything, and it simply just will not connect. I have tried about six different downloads and none work. It says it is already installed, but idk if it really is. It is so confusing. Ive tried all ports, even tried another computer we have on xp, (took thirty minutes to try where as on my laptop 3 another lol). Thanks anyway.

My problem, tell me if i am doing anything wrong. It may be extremely slow, bad quality etc. not viewed it myself just the one i took before. Thanks for your help. Do not mind my bad desktop either lol. Post ?s here please!
I couldn't watch any more so I don't know if you showed but what does the phone actually show up as in device manager? Have you uninstalled the driver and remove the inf file? Maybe remove the inf's for all the drivers you have installed?
Also have you tried different stuff like rebooting the phone into DL mode while Odin is running and the phone is plugged in. Weird stuff like that may help Odin see it.

This MIGHT work but here's a good idea that you could try... Go to the super thread and go to the completely stock state for rogers users... Do the first step and see if it unbricks a bit, then try doing gtgs ultimate unbrick... I guess last resort?

Ryan,
If you want to use odin, un-install or stop your anti virus program
or boot windows in safemode with networking
then try odin gtg unbrick again.
I had more luck with heimdall. @ 4.00 minute in your vid, you did not show your phone in the video or if it was connected
I don't know if you are putting your phone in DL or not. (phone not pluggged in, off, pull battery; press vol buttons connect usb, battery in)
If you had it in DL mode with the android/triangle shoveling
when you go to heimdall options and list device it should show.
FOR SOME REASON, usb port or cable or wrong mode, your pc is not seeing your phone in DL mode.
If you can put your phone in DL mode, IT IS NOT BRICKED.
with all the drivers etc install and such, the process may have corrupted your Windows ability to see your phone -( if it was in DL mode)

I will try using using another computer altogether. Ive got friends who have a computer they will let me use. If it wont work, then i know there is something on the phone end. Ive tried 3 different cables to no avail. I would do the driver thing but idk how to really do it lol. Having kaspersy block odin may just be the problem thanks for that. Ill investigate when im home.
Make sure you have the correct drivers. To make sure
1: download mode. MAKE SURE YOUR IN DOWNLOAD MODE!!! cant stress this enough.
2: Connect your phone, windows should make a sound.
3. open your start menu and type device manager. It should come up. Select it then scroll down to usb and expand it. Find the samsung one and right click and find thw option that says to update it. In doing so windows will tell you if your drivers are correct.

Hello XDA Family, My Infuse is currently semi bricked; Phone--Triangle--Computer.
I've tried all the methods to boot it into download mode and even tried the usb jig and it's still not booting up.
Any recommendations?
Thank you so much !
That screen you are looking at is still download mode...its like an sos version of download....if the correct drivers are installed on your computer for the infuse then plug your phone in while having odin open, and flash one of the odin back to stock packages....it should still recognize your phone

Atm, It's not recognizing my phone. Does the ID:COM matter for Odin when flashing with it?
Yes...it shoukd say #comm#4 or 5(mine says 5) higlighted in yellow...make sure the correct drivers are installed

If it aint working try heimdall. If niether of them recognize it, then give up and send it in for jtag (is money, but im sending mine in because mine will not connect to anything no joke). If nothing works, ask me for their link lol.
Try using different USB ports too.
Thank you all for the love and support ! I've done all the methods mentioned and got nothing so far. What should be my next step?

Seriously? Then jtag i guess... what happened? In my case, jtag is a must.
I was using hemidall to restore my phone and during the process, the usb wire accidentally unplugged...That's gotta be the most interesting way to get bricked..Question is, How to "Jtag" ?
I had this issue. I couldn't get my top of the line Dell PC to recognize the phone on any port at all. So I tried my old Dell laptop... worked first try.
Do you have access to a different computer? If you have a PC search for GTG and fine GTGs ultimate unbrick. Follow the instructions even though your phone doesn't appear to be in download mode.
It worked for me.
Just my 2¢

Glad it worked. GTG is the one to thank however.
I tried to install CWM after I updated to the official ATT ROM, I used odin 1.85 and it failed and then it would not boot. This is the screen I get when I try to start. Odin , Kies, or PC will not connect. I was rooted on stock ROM before update I deleted superuser before update. Any suggestions would help.THX
That should still be download mode
Re download drivers and Odin. Odin should see your device in download mode when that screen appears

I thought so too but when I try to connect thru Kies the connection times out. I have ran the connection repair tool several times and still no go. Thanks for the reply Odin won't reconize it either.

Cd's correct, you're still in download mode- that's good. USB drivers appear to be jacked. Try a different usb port or delete the Samsung ports in device manager and reconnect phone, that will reinstall the drivers.
Also, stick with flashing in odin and make sure kies isn't running in task manager. Redownload the cwm tar and reflash it.
Good luck.
Got it going thanks for all the quick help xda members are the best. :thumbup:

I have a galaxy s2 4g i9210t. I had kies installed and Odin worked fine for all my other phones and read this phone fine when in recovery mode or normal mode, but when I boot it into download mode Odin doesn't detect it and I get an error say failed to Install Samsung USB Cdc device driver. So my first instinct was to reinstall kies, that failed so I tried just installing the drivers on their own, that also failed. I then tried it all on another computer, that failed. I've also tried 5 different cables all of which work for my other phones. Can anyone help?

First you have to manage to install drivers...
Until you can not install drivers successfully it will not detect your device..
Are you using window 7?
Because it automatically detects and installs drivers.
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

No go on compatibility mode. I don't think it's a problem with Odin reading it I think it's a problem with windows installing the drivers as I get the failed to installs driver error every time.

You need to get your phones USB system drivers installed or it is not going to find your phone no matter how many cables you use. You need to get the drivers that are there off and get a good clean install done. Find the right drivers "Samsung" windows for your flavor OS and install them on the computer. It should work fine then.

UNINSTALL KIES completely. Don't reinstall it! Use this DRIVERS.
Happy flashing
I got the same problem yesterday. I want to flash a CustomROM but Odin will not find my Galaxy S3. I had no Kies installed and had try every USB-Port I had, nothing work. Anyone has a idea for me to get Odin working for my S3?

Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with my phone now..
I tried to reflash XBSall's original ICS using the LGFlash Tool, and after the flashing process, I can't seem to turn on my phone at all.
I get an error that I hadn't encountered when I first flashed ICS onto my phone. You can see the error in the screenshot I have uploaded [Error Screen.JPG]
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, that would be great. I am still able to boot into the S/W flash thing (which I also have in my attachments, it's number 1 of the images[DSC_0029.jpg] )
Thanks for the help, XDA. In the meantime, I'll see what else I can do.
I have created a thread about this in the Thrill4G forums, but I know that this forum is more active, so I posted it here as well in order to (hopefully) get more responses. Sorry if this is considered a spam.
Can you boot into recovery? If so, wipe everything and try again.
Are you sure you did all of the steps in the tutorial right?
Did you install the OMAP4430 driver?
Also, did you change the port of the LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT to com41 in your device manager?

I cannot boot into any recovery. Heck, my phone won't even show the LG Logo when I hold the power button.
I did all the steps right (I've even posted a tutorial that has helped a few others to do this, which is pretty ironic), and installed OMAP4430 drivers, AND changed the port to com41.
Thanks for the luck though. I sure am gonna need it.
So you can't go into download mode? Does your PC recognize the phone when its plugged in?

Nope, I can't seem to get into download mode. The only thing that works right now is that S/W [insert Asian characters here] screen.
That s/w screen is similar (but not the same) as the one I get in download mode. I just checked again and I get a black background, 2 arrows making a circle and underneath it says S/W followed by some Korean.
Have you tried plugging in your USB and opening device manager to see if its recognised?

Yes, the device is recognized when in the S/W screen. I was able to change the port to com41 as well, so I could try to flash some .bin files with the Android system, because currently all it's able to do is erase the partitions, and not actually write anything to it.
It's also worth noting that at one point, I got Gingerbread to work. But, me being stupid, I tried to reinstall ICS, and the whole thing broke down on me. HOWEVER, when I was in Gingerbread, it told me my internal memory was corrupted. Would this make any issues when I try to reflash things?
I'm not very experienced at this but a corrupt internal memory doesn't sound healthy. All you can do is try to flash a ROM and hope for the best.

Already tried flashing a few, nothing seems to go past that OMAP error I keep getting.
Thanks for the try though.

Your internal memory is not corrupted , you just didn't format your Internal SD space when you came back to Gingerbread thats why you had that message.
So thats not the issue...
Actually from what you describe so far your phone is OK.
If nobody can help you fix it until next weekend when i 'll check XDA again i 'll show you how to fix it. (unless i m too busy)
Ok. Thank you XBSall. Your help is very, VERY much appreciated.
