samsung infuse download mode help

So, my sister infuse recently got into boot loop. I couldn't get into download mode with all the 3 buttons method, so I decided to get a usb jig. It arrived today but once it enters download mode it leaves it after a couple seconds so I can't even plug the usb cable into it. I tried charging the phone for 6 hours but when I plug it in, it goes in a charge loop where it resets and shows the charging circle every couple of second. Anybody know any other tips that made help? I'm thinking it turning to a hardware brick instead of a software brick.

It's possible your power button is messed up...
Also you tried download mode wrong...three fingers is for recovery...
Download mode:
Pull battery
Put battery back in
Hold volume up+down
Plug USB cord with heimdal or Odin running on pc
You should now be in download mode
Here's a thread about the possible power button prob...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764079

Everytime i plug the battery, the phone turns on by itself already. I tried you method thou and it just keeps in bootloop.
Hmm, I gotta go about dissembling it..that sucks.

Yes it turned back on! But the screens turns fuzzy from time to time. I'm gonna do a full wipe and see what happens.

If nothing else does the trick, I sent mine to Samsung and they fixed it for free no shipping or nothing just FREE

BRICKED!?

So this morning I installed SkyJellybean from seanzscreams. I've been using it all morning and into the afternoon. I've installed plenty of custom roms, i have CWM from skater and I've never had a problem... until now. I went on a walk with my girlfriend, phone in my pocket the entire time, when I got back I pulled my phone out and tried to unlock it. Nothing happened. I tried to reset it. Nothing. Pulled battery, tried to go into recovery, tried to go into download mode, absolutely NOTHING. My phone isn't responding whatsoever. Seems like a brick but before the walk the phone was working perfectly fine and now it's dead. I didn't do anything from the time I stopped using it to the time I got home. This makes no sense to me whatsoever. It doesn't even vibrate. What in God's name is going on here?
Tell me what you think.

No offense....but...dead battery?

maybe the battery is dead.
if that doesn't work try a jig USB_JIG

None taken. Thanks for the input. I'll check into that.
EDIT: It would be a fried battery, more like. Now to hit up all of my Android user friends for a compatible battery. If this works... I'll be mad.

Yeah absolutely nothing. I've kept it plugged in for quite some time now. Just in case. I'm thinking it's not the battery. I ended up calling AT&T and blamed KIES.

if u usb connect to the pc and pull battery to boot in dl mode and *the pc doesnt recognize it at all* use samsug kies to manually install the device drivers on the computer and odin will should find ur phone. the phone will be blank probably but the green light will turn on in odin. i have bricked this thing bad. sometimes it takes 3-4 days of being dead with no battery in it before it will boot into dl mode.

and i think it bricked my phone...
phone was unlocked and the battery was round 90%
i opened the install.bat and my phone turned off even thought my pc recognized as " my htc " i tried to flash a rom but ruu said that battery is under 30 % ( it took me 20 min to download ) when i tried to power on capacitive buttons are blinking so i took htc charger to charge the phone , after 5 hours i checked and only the red led is on - i thought it is charging , after i while i connected with pc but now it doesnt recognize at all.
i did some searches but no luck until now

Darn. Is it under warranty? If not, I've read some other threads where people had luck opening up the phone and disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.

No Bootloader , recovery or anything ?
I would say run a RUU but you need bootloader for that .
Before opening it I'd say try get it sent to HTC if still under warrenty
Was your bootloader unlocked ?
I sent off my HTC a long time ago it was rooted unlocked bootloader tampered etc... But My carier carried out the repair but under the authorisation off HTC they repaired it and sent it back so I got pretty lucky .
I don't think disconnecting the battery will do anything (sorry Nippo) because the problems software related not hardware realed .but if any hardware has failed they will repair it only under warrenty .
if I helped hit that thanks button it helps me a lot .

no no warranty. i tried disconnected the battery but nothing.

after reading and doing some searches i think definitely the battery is dead and doesnt charge... if any one has an idea how to charge the battery it will be great - removing the battery from phone is not a problem...
buying one is not easy to find in my country

Because it sounds like a hardware issue.
You will have to RMA it. Have you spoke to ASUS support? Likely you'll need to pay the Motherboard repair fee as well

Turn off the tablet normally. Then plug in the AC adapter. Plugging it in to charge should turn on your tablet without you having to press the power button at all. Try turning it on that way and see if it stays on.

Well it does turn on when i use the cable
But i still dont know how to fix the button problem

Does your power button still "click" up and down when you press it ? because mine got stuck in the down position which might cause it to reboot over and over but not shutdown? Does it vibrate when you release the button before it turns itself off or just instant dead screen?

No . it does click and when i release it , it shutsdown amidetly like the power is out wich is realy wieed

Really sounds knackered. Seriously give ASUS a call
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700T via XDA Premium HD

well i would but the tablet is unlocked so i have no warrenty .

You do, but they'll likely try to get you to cough up for a new Motherboard.
So on the sounds of it you'll either have to do that to fix it, give up on it and sell as broke, or see if a local comp shop can open it up and see if there is a faulty connector to the power switch.
Unless anyone else has a solution, but it sounds hardware based to me

You seem out of luck but have you tried keeping it pluged in for a long period of time and maybe repetitively pressing the power button really hard to see if you can lossen it up a bit. Also you can turn it on using the cord correct? What happens when you unplug it? You lose power?

Help! Phone in loop rebooting

Hi guys,
I need your help, once again. This afternoon my phone fell on the ground, not from a big height, but it did. As I picked it up it was still working, but I couldn't pick up a phone call I was receiving, so I switched it off. Since then, it's in constant reboot. I tried to pull the battery, but as soon as I put it back in, the loop starts again, without even pushing the power button.
Unfortunately, when I pulled the battery I realized some had craved in, from a previous spill. Not much at all, in fact I was surprised to see it there, but as a fact there was.
I tried to access recovery mod, but with no success.
Thoughts?

Get into download mode and go back to stock.

Could be a problem inside the phone. But you should try going into download mode and go back to stock by using the one click back to stock tool.

No success. As soon as I pop the battery in it starts the loop, so basically I have no time to press volume and then plug the cable in.
If I plug the cable, press volume, and then pop battery in, it goes into a different "battery loop", but still loop.
I can't believe it got damaged for three drops of water...

Try this different method to get into download mode.
Take everything out of the phone (microSD, Battery, and SIM card).
Then hold both volume button up and down and THEN connect it to the cable.
Keep holding the volume buttons and then put the battery in.
It may be hard so you should flip to the back side of the phone and do tht. By doing tht, it will automatically go into download mode.
If that doesnt work it could be a battery problem or the phone is broken :/

Nothing, still goes to a sort of battery charging loop. Damn it...

Can you try to get into download mode without putting the battery in. Just hold the volume buttons and connect it to the cable and see if it goes to download mode. If it does then put battery in. Be careful.

That sucks. :/ Download mode is the only way to fix these kinds of problems. I dont see why you wouldn't be able to get into there. Try looking in other forums to see if it can help you.

I can't believe it... I realize water is lethal to these devices, but that was not much water at all...
I guess I can start looking for a new one. Suggested phones? Nexus 4?

That phone seems nice. As long as you can afford it then it would be great. Just make sure it doesn't contact wit water. Even doe it my seem like tht is a great phone to chose phones arent made to be water proof at this point

Unfortunately I can't really afford it, but now it's hard to go back to a dumb phone. At the same time I'm pissed at how fragile these things are..

Sadly i have nothing to add to this except i have this exact same problem happening to me right now. Now This is the second phone ive ever rooted so you know I'm a newb their. So Can someone shoot me in the direction of stock tar files and what Odin to use.
I believe that is what i need to do yes?
use Odin to (IDK) inject root access with some other programs needed to use custom roms backups etc, also this is doe using a specific file as this is the part of the process where most phones are bricked?
So sorry but for those following this thread I have searched but IDK the best way to go as they change and i want the latest. As when i first rooted this phone I first tried Superoneclick as it was said to be so easy. Well SOC froze on step 3 i think and never finished once so i ended up doing it with Odin which is the way i did it with my SG3 (for some reason way easier to use maybe more devs??) So i am trying ti pimp my mothers phone LOL She is in her 60s but she knows what shes doing lol. Anyway she hated her phone and i told her all she had to do was root it and load a new ROM and your phone will look and act newer. (wanting to save mom money too) This is my situation.
If you read all that i am asking what Odin version i need or better where to get it. Same with the flash file. IDK if any ICS or JB rooted flash files are made or if its better to use stock 2.3.6 (i think) whichever way results in easiest upgrading and how it should be done. I thank you a lot. I am sorry for the thread hijack but i thought it would be better one post here instead another thread (i hope to have found it from you or on my own before that) like i said i search but i cant find i know its their i found it before so idk.
I do know to thank you again and sorry again for the hijack
