Ok this actually sounds similiar to something that happened to me, so here goes:
Was using Odin back to stock and something went wrong during. The phone screen went into a rainbow/starry clusterfack and then black. Couldn't get into download mode or anything, everytime I booted the stars came back or nothing at all. So eventually I just did what I would do if going into download, pulled batt, plugged in while holding volumes. Nothing came on to the screen but decided to continue, so I hit the volume up do accept the warning screen even though I couldn't see it and finally my phone showed up on my PC. Hit start in Odin and it worked and downloaded luckily. Sorry for the long explanation but, give this a try.

odins not seeing nothing from left to right i see
a phone --!--and a pc with a black screen some how it looks like its in some ultra low download mode :/

i see this

Never seen that but, it looks like your phone is having problems connecting to your PC, try rebooting the PC and then reconnect usb and phone.
Also I did a little googling, and I believe it means a bad flash, some ppl have fixed by a hard reset so try that link.
Here's the thread with different options, not our phone but same situation: thread

That screen its pretty rare on the infuse, good thing!. They really made this phone pretty much unbrickable under normal conditions.

That is a form of download mode. Open odin and try connecting phone to pc ans see if odin reads it. If it doesnt kerp trying it will eventually. I had this hapoen to my captivate

yeah this phone its hardcore unbrickable... haha as bbwolf said its just a DL screen that usually appears (at least to me) when i connect the infuse and use odin with front or externally conected USB ports also happened to me in all 3 ports of my bro laptop
Instead using the back USB ports will prevent the outpowering of the usb port and you will flash flawlessly but Infuse its harcore you really have to mess things up to brick it... if even possible 0.o
If happens again relax... go to a desktop and flash with a back USB u will be back on track in notime

Samething happened to me, I ended up getting a factory replacement. The same day I placed the order with att I finally got Odin to work.

Had that exact screen when my phone took a tumble half way in a odin flash I took battery out plugged back in and odin recognized and flashed took a really long time though to flash longer than normal not sure why

[Q] Skyrocket phone stuck onSamsung Logo

Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy phone is stuck on the Samsung boot up logo. I shut off the phone and it starts up again to the Samsung logo again. I am rooted but still had the stock rom and kernel.
I went to selections and wiped my cache and tried to format it like a new phone. The same thing still happens. I am not sure what else to do. Anyone know how to fix this?
Keep the instructions simple please, if you do know. (I'm a desperate noob)
Thanks for any help.

IF you ever did nandroid than just restore that otherwise.........
Hey first follow this steps to flash any rom. If you flash the rom properly than you can use any stock rom from dev section and use that.
OR
follow this step to go back to stock and it will unroot you.

Same Problem
My problem is that my Rogers SGSII LTE I727R, is stuck on the logo screen, which is flashing the boot screen. When I connect the USB (even after install of Kies and Odin), my PC does not see the device. I am really not sure what to do. I think I set the wrong phone ID when I installed recovery (I think I was supposed to use the T-Mobil SGSII setting), but I selected something else. I then tried to backup the existing ROM, and am now in this unending loop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Follow these steps it will help you go back to stock. ANd reroot your phone.

I did try the main process, but the problem seems to be that the my PC/Odin, don't see my phone. The USB drivers are installed, and I have the stock rom, but I can't seem to make the connection.

Try a different USB port. Avoid rear ports and hubs.

OK, i will try that on a different computer, as I have tried all of the available ports on my laptop. Any other thoughts?

Have you uninstalled kies? If not uninstall it from your PC. Put your phone in download mode and see if Odin can see the phone.

Try another USB port or another computer. If you can get the logo you are in a boot loop, the most common form of a soft brick. If you can get into download mode you should be able to fix it.

Another thought is to try turning off firewall and antivirus when using Odin. I've never had my firewall or antivirus block Odin but I've heard it can happen...

Can you get into download mode? Hold the two volume buttons down, then plug the usb cable into your phone, then you should be in download mode.

I cannot get into download mode. I just keep getting the flashing boot screen, with the corresponding vibration.

What he said. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume up/down and plug in USB. Continue holding volume buttons until you see download mode. Careful not to press the power button during this process.

I like how u guys are really trying to help him. Let u guys know that on my first responce I gave him all the steps on how to go back to stock. So if he followed that and nothing happened than he should try USB jig if that don't work than its hard brick!!

Don't panic. If you're in a boot loop it's fixable. It's when you get nothing that you need to worry about a hard brick.
Try the button combo mentioned above to get into download mode. If that doesn't work, pull the battery again and try using just the volume down button button--I've heard people say this worked for them when they had a hard time.
If this doesn't get you into download mode, I guarantee you that a jig will work. You can buy one online or make one yourself for about 75 cents and a cut-up data cable (I had a car charger that I didn't need--car charges the phone through USB port, so I cut that one up). Always good to have a jig, at any rate...

Yup, when I rooted my phone, the only way I could get it into download was volume DOWN & power.

SOLVED! The first and only solution on the web! Infuse Endless Boot Loop.

I have been bricked alot. And restored to stock using Odin for about 15 times. But then the USB slipped out of the port during one recovery and the infuse got stuck. Now when I attempt to turn it on, the screen turn on white and flicker back to nothing. The same happens when I plug it in the computer. I cannot go to download mode. Please help me asap! I was going to give my infuse to my nephew for his birthday! First one who help me successfully will get an $20 reward PayPal or any other of the sort.

I would try a different PC first. This happened to me as well.
It seems that the drivers get screwed up when the flash is interrupted. This advice has helped several people.
Good luck bro

I'm assuming you don't get any computer notification that usb plugged in? If you do just give it a few and press up like it is in download mode. I've had a screwed up looking screen and still flashed in download mode even though I couldn't see the screen.

Don't worry. I got into even worse situation, I can't even turn on my phone yesterday when I fail the odin. I thought the bootloader is dead.. charge the battery and try it again and you would put it into download mode.
Adam's method is very risky.

Bought my jig, over a year ago....never leave home w/o it

This happened to me once. IIRC I pulled the battery, connected the phone to the computer (I don't recall if I had Odin running or not, but I'm not sure if it even matters), then held vol + and - while re-inserting the battery and the phone powered on into download mode. It's been a while since it happened and unfortunately I don't remember the exact order of the steps I took, (I was freaking out a bit and trying different things), but you may want to try this process or some variation of it. Good luck.

From what I see, you weren't holding down the Vol keys before plugging in the usb cable. At least in that video you didn't.

I can get it into download mode but the phone still wont turn on. This all happened after i went to mount and storage and started formatting everything like a moron. All i need is to get to cmw and I can get this fixed......

When in download mode, try flashing just a kernel.

[Q] Help Me I really effed up!

Good Morning Everyone, This is my first post. I try to never post just read. I have read and read but to no avail. I have a AT&T Samsung infuse 4g. it WAS running froyo. What I mean by WAS, is that I was trying to install the modded 3e recovery so I could install clockworkmod recovery. During this process I read that I need to mount the /system partition as read/write I did this using the tool box that was created by some of your developers. It is awsome by the way. Well I did that and put a new recovery file in the /bin but it did not work as the website claimed so I thought well I should delete the old one. Bad Idea when I did the reboot it stopped me at the samsung screen. I tried to hard reboot it pulled the battery talked to it with a really kind voice and nothing happend. So I decided to use GEG's Ultimate Unbrick because this has worked for me in the past when i have messed up. So I put my phone into download mode and started the process with Odin. And here is where it gets bad.... one of my children was talking with me during the process and he decided to unplug my phone.. AHH EFFFFFF! I thought. Well when I tried to fix it it was to late. My phone will no longer turn on or even pretend to start. I am broke and cannot afford a new phone plus my wife would kill me seeing we have 6 children and it is right before christmas if I came home with a new galaxy note 2 Please Please can any one help a desperate dad with a busted Samsung Infuse. Thank you all for this awesome website that has taught me alot.. Please dont kill me for posting something someone has already posted because I could not find anything that was helpful for this situation with my phone.

Okay now I have really done it this time. So I worked a 18 hour day and thought well instead of getting some rest i will install Gingerbread on my infuse. To make a long story short while I was using odin to install it paused for a long time at the format stage, so I thought well I will just turn it off even though it says not to and then.....well it did a rainbow colored screen I tried to figure it out last night with no luck. So I have been working on it all morning the rainbow screen is gone but now it just goes from black to all white screen. I have tried every possible way to get into download mode with no luck. Am I screwed or what? Does anyone have any suggestions. If I am out of luck does anyone know if bestbuy's warrenty covers rooted phones that are [email protected] bricked?

You're too kind, Merk.
I'm not sure what happened to your phone. The Infuse is pretty sturdy. Flashing should not cause much of an issue. The faulty power button and corrosion of the circuit board were the most I've seen reported.
This is what I use to force the phone into download mode:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-J...665854?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f201c4f3e
Once in DL mode, it's a matter of choosing Odin or Heimdall to bring it back to stock.
One other thought, try a different battery as well.

I had the same exact problem. If the only thing the phone will do is go into download mode, then Samsung will fix it (if your still under warranty). They fixed mine and sent it back to me. Then I tried to flash another ROM on there and while it was flashing, I went to the store, and when I came back it said failed. Then it would only go into the other download mode. The one that has this (phone...!...PC). It wouldnt show up on odin 1.7 anymore. So I ended up trying a USB cable for my HTC evo v, and the drivers installed, then it popped up on Odin. I used G2G's Ultimate Unbrick (dude is a f-ng genius, all credit goes to him) and instead of putting the pit, PDA, and phone file on there and flashing, I flashed one at a time......then....I went back and flashed all at once and everything worked perfect. If your still having trouble with it, I can tell you exactly how I did it, and maybe that will work for you. Sorry to but in on this post and sorry it was so long of a reply. I just no what its like when you half brick an infuse. Mine was like that for 6 months because I couldn't get any computer to recognize it. But anyway, I hope I was helpful.

I had the same exact problem. If the only thing the phone will do is go into download mode, then Samsung will fix it (if your still under warranty). They fixed mine and sent it back to me. Then I tried to flash another ROM on there and while it was flashing, I went to the store, and when I came back it said failed. Then it would only go into the other download mode. The one that has this (phone...!...PC). It wouldnt show up on odin 1.7 anymore. So I ended up trying a USB cable for my HTC evo v, and the drivers installed, then it popped up on Odin. I used G2G's Ultimate Unbrick (dude is a f-ng genius, all credit goes to him) and instead of putting the pit, PDA, and phone file on there and flashing, I flashed one at a time......then....I went back and flashed all at once and everything worked perfect.

Well im going to give it a shot I still have the old infuse I tried to make my own jig which didnt work for me so I took it into bestbuy and they gave me a brand new phone and in all of the hustle and bustle of christmas shopping going on around me they did not take my bricked infuse so now I have a spare to tinker with. Thanks I will definately give it a try and report with my findings

okay I tried but that didnt work either. Can you go ahead and explain "exactly" what you did maybe it will work!
Thanks again for everyones help!

Ok first I downloaded the unbrick package from this website. I downloaded the drivers for the infuse (not sure exactly where I got them from). I would just Google them. Then I tried every USB port on the laptop. Then switched cables and it finally worked. Opened Odin 1.7 and clicked pit, then flashed. Then I unplugged it, took the battery out and put back in and tried to boot. Didn't work. Then flashed PDA. Did same steps as before and still didn't work. Then flashed phone file. Tried to boot and still didn't work. Then I flashed all 3 files at once. Also, not sure if you know or not but the only thing that should be checked in Odin is f: reset time. Then the phone booted up and it stayed on at&t screen for about 5 minutes then finally came on. Also, you could also try to flash this other PDA file on there. I have the link saved on my computer but I'm not at home right now so I'll have to post that later. In easier steps
1. Put phone in Download mode and plug into pc.
2. Run Odin as admin and only thing checked is f reset time.
3.Flash pit then try to boot
4. Flash PDA then try to boot
5. Flash phone then try to boot
6. Flash all three at once
7. After flash While in download mode, unplug USB cable, take battery out and put back in
8. Reboot phone.
Sorry everything is all jumbled, I just got back to my home state from a road trip and I'm running on about 6 hours of sleep in 3 days. I hope this works for you. Also, there is a video on YouTube of a unbrick service for the phone. Its $30. I personally would not try it but its just an idea if you would want to.

I had the issue where I had the phone, the exclamation mark, and the computer symbol (The Black Screen of Death: Imaged Attached), that is all it would show when I turned it on. I thought the phone was completely bricked until I did the following, which put it into a hidden download mode and allowed ODIN to recognize it. I DID NOT NEED TO BUY A USB JIG.
1. Make sure you have Odin already downloaded and ready to go.
2. Remove the SIM and SD Cards
3. Load up Odin and make sure it is up and running on the computer. DO NOT plug your phone into the computer yet.
4. Reinstall the Battery and plug the phone to the USB cable to the computer.
5. Hold down both Volume keys and then push and hold the power button
6. Keep holding the buttons until it goes to black, KEEP HOLDING A SECOND TIME until it goes to black and the icon comes back on.
7. Now when it goes Black the second time release the Power button only.
8. You should now be in Download mode. The key is holding the buttons, letting it go to black once, and then letting it go to black again, and then release only the power button while your fingers are still on the volume buttons.
9. Now Odin should recognize the phone on a Com port (turn yellow).
10. You are now ready to return it back to stock.
I hope this helps!

did you ever get your infuse fixed man?

Yes I tried to make my own jig but my fat shaky hands could get the end of the wires to hit the correct contacts so I ordered one online and that got me into download mode! Now I'm running jelly bean! Thanks to everyone that helped out I love you guys!!!! PS. Don't skip backing up your efs folder!! Unless you want a headache. But with all my problems it has taught me a lot. My number one tip is to read read read there is always an answer! Thanks again everyone! Always hit the thanks button its the least we can do for all of these brilliant hard working developers.
