You will have to Odin it that's a firmware failed screen. I got nervous flashing kc1 and pulled the usb cable ouf. I had nothing but a rainbow screen, and Odin saved my phone

When your phone is plugged in check to see if odin recognizes your phone.one of the com ports should light up when it does flash away and it should be all good.

Hold both of your volume buttons down and plug in your USB (connected to your computer) to your phone. Keep holding onto both of the volume buttons until the yellow download triangle pops up.

Phone..triangle..pc icon screen is download mode. You can flash with Odin on that screen.
Did your drivers install?

try the drivers from this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
if you cant get into download mode again, try another method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
method 2 worked with me when i soft bricked. since you seem to get the triangle screen, the biggest thing is making sure the drivers are properly installed. reinstall them and reboot the computer and then follow the instructions on the odin guide. hope this helps.

Bricked

Think i really bricked it this time. Went back to stock then decided to root a few days after and now while connected to odin my screen just turned pixelated. Im stuck

Can you Get into download mode??
If you can its as simple as redoing Odin. By pixelated you mean when you try to go into dl it does but is ilegible?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997

Yeah. It lets me in dl mode and just gets stuck on the factoryfs. Im using unbrick odin now. Hopefully it works. But the pixels are tiny and all over and diff colors

I had the same problem ages ago, accidentally yanked the cord when flashing back to stock and was met with a rainbow/black pixel screen and after using Gtg's odin encountered the failed factory.fs message.
Try THIS return to stock method instead. Once you get to the thread, find Question 4 in the FAQ section of the thread. (seems to address your issue)
IMO this method is easier to use and you can flash to a rooted+3e froyo.
Hope this helps...

I cant get odin to recognize it now after i fixed the phone. Removed kies and reinstalled
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Use a different USB port...it's kinda funny that way.

heimdall's open-source drivers use libusb. zadig will install libusb for only one usb port. This will be your heimdall port. The rest will retain the odin drivers. just use another usb port. Don't reinstall drivers.
The Heimdall One-Click will bring you back to stock. Our server is down right now so just wait if you're trying to download. I packaged GTG's back to stock as well as KH3(i think) into one-click format. It's at http://files.teamkomin.com then click the infuse4g folder and select a download.

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.

They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

[Q] cwm froze in wipe process (semi n00b)

I'm not very great with the correct terms, but I'll try to spell out my issue as best as I can. I have cm9 installed on my skyrocket, I tried to flash another rom and had issues with it. I then tried to flash back, but cwm seemed to be stuck formatting /cache. The friend helping told me to reboot and try again so did and then I started having boot screen issues. I can get my phone to download mode or cwm, but I can't seem to get odin to install the stock or for the cwm to finish (still stuck on formatting /cache.. goin on 2 hours). What did I do wrong and how can I fix this?
DETAILED help would be appreciated, but I'll take what I can get at this point. I'll re-explain anything that doesn't make sense.
I really just want to get back to stock.

What happens in ODIN -- does it also get stuck at formatting cache?
Have you tried any of the Heimdall one-click to restore to stock?
Let us know if that also gets stuck on formatting cache.

ODIN wouldn't always register my device and when it did it would either fail, complete in the description box after checking the md5, or fail due to the device de-registering.
At this point my my device is showing the "firmware upgrade encountered" screen with the yellow triangle. I didn't know about the Heimdall. I followed the directions on Kies to restore it that way, but it's not picking up my device even though my computer is.
Am I f*cked?

Yellow triangle sounds like download mode to me. See if any of the heimdall one click restores will see the phone n try to flash.
Also try using different USB cables, USB ports, different PC, etc...

I downloaded heimdall 1.3.2, having a tough time finding some good directions on how to use the heimdall. The ones in the "README" file talks about zadig. Do I need to use zadig also or just the heimdall? Or is there a good guide could recommend?

In its current condition all it does is boot directly to that screen. It also won't stay powered off unless I pull the battery. Think I could take it to at&t? Just an educated guess, but that being the only image I'm getting means that there isn't really anything on my phone right now? I'm thinking maybe I could say that my dog tripped my usb cable while I was updating in kies?

Its looking like my real issue right now is either, usb cable or the connection port. Finally got it to a friend's comp and his dad who has years of experience is working on it. Took him a new samsung cable today so hopefully it'll work out. Thanks for the help everyone. Sorry for my panic attack.

Bricked Help Needed

I have two samsung infuses my father gave me to put custom roms on. My personal one had ICS on it, and I never had a problem flashing it. These two both failed in odin. I'm just trying to get back to stock, but when i flash them they fail part way through, even tried one click and it failed on step 4 of 6.. If anyone can help, it would be very much appreciated..
Thanks

Either the connection was interrupted, or odin messed up. You could try flashing with heimdall, if you can get to the connect to PC screen, or download mode. If you can't, you could make/buy a USB jig to put it into download more and try flashing with heimdall.

To make things easier, you should download a heimdall one-click. That will get you going. I use stock uclb3, with boot loaders but you shouldn't need those

Yepp everytime, it seems like one tiny thing is holding it back.. I just tried flashing via odin again, and it stopped at factoryfs. Im going to reboot my computer for the last time tonight and seems if it works.

Have you tried reinstalling drivers? On a system running bot odin and Heimdall, drivers tend to get messed up. Uninstall the Heimdall drivers, then Odin. Then install ODIN drivers, then install the heimdall driver while the phone is plugged into a different port. This setup has always worked for me.

I've never uninstalled them because I could hook my infuse up with no problems and flash it.. I've used kies mini and reinstalled them though.

Well Kies only installs ODIN drivers, you also have to install Heimdall drivers using Heimdall. I would recommend switching usb ports also

Try switching usb cables. That may be causing the flash to get stucked
