Hate to say it but you may be up the creek on that one. Hopefully someone more advanced than I can revive your phone.

But dont you think that is there something that i can do or try?
I am really worried

Not sure why you tried another phones rom on your phone. It is hard bricked because of the wrong bootloaders. Over at rootzwiki, I read that there was a chance to revive it from a hard brick. Take a look at it. Also, there was someone here that fixes hard bricks for a fee. Search hard brick and it's in one of the threads. the user name starts with a c.

Try these steps:
1) Open Odin, plug the usb cable into your computer but NOT the phone
2) Do a battery pull
3) put the battery back in
4) hold vol + and -
5) Plug the USB cable into your phone
See if Odin recognized your phone. You should see com# in a yellow box on the middle left of the screen. If you can get that far find an Odin rom for the phone in these forums and you might be lucky enough to be able to revive the phone.

Cant access Recovery Mode

Hi Guys,
I have my friends i9003 with me. Its having a weird problems :
1) It successfully boots after 5-6 tries, but eventually hangs after a min on home screen.
2) Its unable to enter recovery mode.
3) It can enter download mode, but its not detectable by odin/PC. As soon as i connect to PC, it shows usb device not recognized. I have tried 2-3 different pc's, uninstalled/reinstalled kies/samsung drivers etc. On the same pc my SGS1 & SGS2 can connect without any problems. So i guess the problem is with i9003. (So i cant flash anything on it)
4) And the last but not the least.....it cannot be charger (tried pc usb / charger). But the battery seems ok, as i can charge it using other phones and dock charger.
..........any help and advice will be really appreciated.

have u tried the hard reset button at the back between the camera and speaker.

I've a I9003L with the same problem (it's carrier locked), I think it has no recovery at all !
Maybe flashing CWM

Its use to get into download mode right !!! But i can easily get into download mode without doing it. The problem here is pc/odin does not detect it.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't have a problem as obvious as I had. I had similar issue when i tried my micromax cable with this phone.
Well, you'll need some expert's advice now.

Looks liek i found the problem, its same as many i9003's are having. Internal memory card corrupted !!! Have found some risky solutions, but will try them, cuz the phone is already out of guarantee !

i had also faced the same problem but i was unable to do it with that solution u can refer my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735718 and i have given my mobile to the service centre for replacing motherboard

i think i broke my infuse :(

first of all it was working all good with jvu saurom port then out of curiosity i decided to go for jbparanoid,
after that everything is good but i decided to go back to gb(jvu saurom port) i cant seem to load it to red cwm after flashing the port of jvu,
so i tried formating /system/cache/data still no red nor regularbootup
stupidity strikes i decided to format boot :crying: there i got the samsung logo but wont even start to boot nor i cant access blue or red cwm :crying::crying:
now im on my laptop trying to go back to stock and Download mode it cant even show the option its just samsung logo and it cant even be recognized by my laptop tried uninstalling everything that relates to samsung and fresh install kies and samsung drivers but no luck tried heimdall/odin it doesnt go it cant even recognize my phone :crying::crying:
i need help im pretty close to darkness here :crying:
THANKS
btw my laptop is running windows7 64bit

Try pulling the battery then put battery in and hold volume up and volume down then plug in USB cable and see if it goes into download mode. If it doesn't the ONLY two things that will possibly work is a USB jig or getting a memeber who can JTAG it and recover it for you.

Did that sir a retractable one but no use

Sometimes it's just a matter of waiting and perseverance. Try disconnecting your phone from the computer, taking the battery out, leaving it for 10 mins. & then coming back and trying again.

do you get any kind of error message when you try to connect the phone.... I had a similar problem and had to redownload the drivers ..... then was able to get the computer to recgonize the phone... the other issue you might have is a bad USB cable.

[Q] Need Help: Unbrisk Samsung Infuse i997R

Hi,
I have got Samsung Infuse i997R, which I unofficially upgraded to JB 4.2 and then trying to downgrade, got bricked.
Samsung Kies/ODIN no more detects the phone. And its not switching to Download mode either.
I already used Volume Up+Down options as well as Jig solution. Though, display show me to connect to to Samsung Kies but its in vain.
Can anybody suggest me some way out here to bring life to my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Sachin

You need to give more info on whar happened start to finish. Be very specific. Youre being too vague

I know I have done some series of mistakes here while playing with my phone android but here is the sequence:
The phone was earlier bear GB 2.3.6 which I have upgraded to JB 4.2 directly using Clock mod & all (the steps available on most of site).
After upgrade I came to know that my IMIE number goes invalid; thus o more phone calls were working.
Followed by this, I tried downgrading it after which my phone got stucked in Download mode.
I accidentally pulled the USB cable post which it was not going into Download mode either and displays the warning message to connect to Samsung Kies.
But now, neither Samsung Kies nor ODIN recognizes it. I tries to get into Download mode again using Volume UP+Down combination as well as Jig but its not working for me either.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Had the same problem and seems there is no way out w/out being able to get into dl mode.
I was already on 4.2.2 rom beanstock & wanted to flash a different rom, did all the correct things in the correct order.
What I DIDN'T do was format the system option while in cwm and I have (I think) major incompatibility problems.
ok so if I could get into dl mode i'd could flash back to stock & start over. NOT without a dl screen.
from what I can see & read there is no way out of a hard brick like this.
yes, tried every possible combination of two button, battery in battery out, usb cable in out, different usb ports on computer.
not much help anywhere when in this problem mode.
looking for a cheap i997 & pull the main board & put it in this bricked phone & hopefully get into dl mode.

Emergency please help!!

Hey guys please someone on here help my dumbass!
I smashed my galaxy note 5 out of anger today and really need help!
I rooted my phone with a custom kernel about a month ago and it constantly rebooted during calls etc.... I wanted to use Arter97's kernel with CWM but it will not boot into recovery.
My phone will not connect to the pc but will only charge! I have tried every option and no luck! I tried my other galaxy s6 and the drivers worked but not my note 5!
The root used to work before but I did a factory reset and not it says root is not properly installed!
My issue is phone will not connect to pc to use ODIN and CWM will not boot into recovery to install Arters Kernel for my Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920W8
Please help me before I cause some serious damage to anyone gets in my way in real life!

The device still works, just the glass back of the phone broke. The phone is not being recognized by the computer at all even before I smashed it.. I tried every method but it works on my s6 right away but not the note 5. It says my phone has no root now after I factory reset but my kernel is still the rooted version... 3.10.61 noble kernel v0.1
Did the root damage the hardware that it would connect to my pc?

Try a different cable and a different USB port when in download mode.
I had the same once, it's not the end of the world.

I've found the more generic the cord the more likely it will work especially if your port is bent

Tried multiple ports and multiple cords... Nothing.. at all phone is in a bootloop that wont clear either

I went to a few stores they said They have to change the motherboard for my note 5 SM n920w8... apparently that is why it changes with the usb on the pc but not data sync.... Im kinda lost on this because why would it do that!
Please help they are trying to charge me 240$...
To anyone who can help me fix this issue I will be more than happy to pay 130$

It seems like I have multiple issues now, The phone is in a bootloop and will not pass Samsung Note 5 Logo, and the other problem is the device is not being detected on my computer.. Now it kinda seems worse because I am not even getting the error anymore it just won't connect.
I can still enter Odin download mode and Recovery mode yes.
I took it to the shop and they said they can fix itbut will cost around $240.00 to replace the motherboard so it can connect to the computer. If I can make it connect I can fix this whole issue..
I have tried multiple cords, multiple computers, disabled and enabled drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, updated drivers, every possible way you can think off with the computer.
