Okay, to make it short, I've brought home a Samsung Infuse for testing. It's not even a day yet and it's showing one hell of a problem already. Firstly, I can't install the right drivers for it. I've used Kies and tried downloading every drivers I can find but no, the phone won't even connect as mass storage. I tried going into download mode by holding the volume keys and insert the usb cable but it only gets in download mode once every 20 tries or so, the other times it just boots right into the OS. In the rare cases of successful download mode, Odin won't recognize the phone. I used SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click and finally it said the phone is connected, but intructed me to install the right drivers. So I did exactly as it said but the whole process of reinstalling drivers just repeats. I put the cm7 and mosaic ROMs in the phone using wifi and flashed them, here I met another problem, the phone keeps getting into car mode. I disabled it, and the phone changed orientation although I tried disabling it back and forth. I'm raging at it here, does anybody know about these problems or should I throw the infuse at the seller's face?

sounds like an issue with the usb port not the drivers.
try cleaning it, or you may need to send it to samsung for repair. if you dont want to do that then i'd make you an offer on it, but you might be insulted at what id pay for a "broken" device.
Something I ran in to as well, I ended up using the ports on the back of my PC.
Something else too ... I ended up using a Blackberry USB cable.
Hope this helps

Yea not an issue with infuse but the USB port. My laptop connects to it if I use the secondary or tertiary USB ports.

people read the whole post. his issue is not limited to computer connectivity. the phone goes into car mode on its own. car mode is triggered by a simple resistor in the car dock. different resistor values will put the phone in the different dock modes, Adam outler had a bunch on information on USB standards when he made his own captivate car mount. what is going on is most likely that a piece of semi conducive material is trapped in USB port on the phone or the port is otherwise damaged on the phone. there could also be some physical issue or calibration issue with the chip that controls the USB. I have seen similar issues on my own phone and seen atleast one post with issues identical to mine.
the seller sold it for a reason.
hello I have a doubt I can do as root, I infuse without odin or Heimdall, as my pc does not recognize my phone in download mode only gives me the error: Windows does not recognize the usb device, and try to install drivers kies , kies mini and samsung usb drivers
- I use windows xp sp 3
- Phone found on
- I have version 2.3.6 uclb3 stock
sorry my bad english

already, already, already and not :/
with another PC if it is recognized but I have no access to another for now
Oddly enough I just acquired a Samsung Infuse 4G this morning, and I've gone through 4 USB cables (that work perfectly with a number of other devices, all tested one by one this morning just to prove it to myself), I've gone through dozens of USB ports across 4 computers (3 laptops and 1 desktop), and no matter what I try to do and how many times I install/uninstall/reinstall either Kies/Kies mini/the USB drivers all by themselves, I cannot get any response from Windows (or even Linux) with respect to this Infuse and I gotta say I'm a bit peeved about it (not at anyone here, or Samsung, but at the person that sold it to me - my fault there for not checking it out completely).
It'll charge fine off the microUSB port, it'll even recognize that it's been plugged into a computer and ask what mode would I like (Kies firmware upgrade, Media, USB storage) and regardless of what I do in any respect, still nothing. Windows never recognizes it at all - there's no error message about not being able to use a device, it just doesn't "see" it ever no matter what's attempted - the classic "ba-donk" sound when attaching a USB device is never heard from any computer I've plugged this phone into, nor detached it from.
What pisses me off the most is the device is at pure factory stock condition, running Froyo 2.2.1 and I can't get it to update over the air to Gingerbread 2.3.6 in any respect - it'll connect with the AT&T servers but then it says "Your device is up to date" which obviously is not correct.
So I'm stuck with a device that's not allowing me to get it off the most basic stock build - if I could just get it to Android 2.3.6 I'd be much happier with it but, I don't see it happening and I have no idea how to proceed.
Don't want to try and dump it off on someone else now even though that would be pretty easy to do off craigslist, probably get $125 for it in no time flat.
Any suggestions as to how I can make it somewhat useful past that dreaded Froyo 2.2.1 would be greatly appreciated.
It's pure stock, not rooted, but it is unlocked as it works with a T-Mobile SIM installed when I tried it. Guess there's just no potential way to force it to update to 2.3.6... dagnabbit.
EDIT:
And no, download mode, recovery, nothing works outside of the OS either, the phone goes into Download mode obviously without issues but attaching the USB cable does nothing, it's just not visible to the computer in any respect. Seems a bit odd but whatever, guess it's just dead for USB data transfer at this point.

Did you ever find a solution for rooting your Infuse? I'm having the EXACT same issues with mine and would love to root it and move on.
I had the issue had to take it out of debug mode to get it to recognize even then only heimdall would recognize it in download mode

Same issue with mine. Yesterday, 8/20/12, I broke a sim card connector pin and Nexus S wouldn't recognize sim card after a reboot. Rebooted the device again after the warning message: Sim card not detected/found.
Now Nexus S won't boot. Computers (Windows & OSX) can't recognize it's connected and 5 different charges won't show that the battery is charging. Battery still has a charge as I tested it in another Nexus S. When the battery is in, the device heats up. When connected to a power source, the device heats up.
Used Unbrickable resurrector with no success. UR shows: Device not found, No device detected.
Finally, I was running Jelly Bean from OTA update and not rooted. I noticed that in the past week or two the stock Andoird keyboard would cause force closing of apps or exceed processor threshold of 35% even if there was no program running. Google Now was also sucking the battery after the JB update. Turned that battery drain off on the other Nexus. Also, the Android Media process was taking a drain on the processor. Usually running at 40-50%.
Bought this used from CowBoom and hoping the extended warranty will replace or fix the broken sim card connector and unbrick the phone.
Luckily I have an iPhone 4S and a 2 yr old HTC Desire to turn to.
I've read on another thread, perhaps?, that two other users in the past week or so have had this same problem.

Same happened to me. The Unbrickable resurrector also didnt detect the phone. so i made the Unbrickable Hardware Mod (httpxx://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566475) remove the xx from httpxx. now my phone is being detected and the tool is able to load its files. but still the phone is dead, no thing happens and the tool shows no device found after it loads the files. but when i picked GALAXY S from the drop down menu. the tool loads the files and now both the tool and the phone shows download mode with an android shoveling dirt. heimdall now detects the phone but it doesnt work caz its not a GALAXY S. So let us know what happens if u try this mod. cheers
The exact same thing happened to me. Strangely, it's happening with JB roms. And yeah, i told my problem in a very educated way on the ROM topic and they simply deleted the post, how nice.
Anyway, i just sent the phone to the warranty almost three weeks ago, i'm waiting for them to fix it or give me a new one.

well ... i don't have these tools to do hardware level of modifications ...
anyway , i just send to repair , i think , the motherborad or something should be replaced ...
i was thinking about buying a new phone such as Galaxy Nexus if my Nexus S can not be repaired or way too expensive to repair...
i had same issue a few days after upgrading to JB JRO03E. i got the main board replaced under warranty. took about 2 and half weeks.
the phone came back with GB installed but OTA'd to ICS then JB JRO03L.
I had the same issue running cm10-0823. Screen froze while sitting idle. Pulled and replaced battery, and phone won't come back.
Looks like cm10/jb is causing some burn-out in circuit board; cpu, memory...?

as i have heard is that new bootloader messes with hummingbird CPU ...
I have exactly the same problem I flashed Codename Android ROM 3.4.1, done some overclocking (only 1200 MHz) and the device crashed. Well, nothing unusual. But I removed the battery, I think it was just when the device was rebooting - I think display turned on, I noticed some flash when the battery was already removed.
I tried to turn on the device, but it's dead. Display doesn't turn on, UnBrickable Resurrector says device not found.
I can send the phone to the warranty, but it's unlocked. Do you think they will find out it's unlocked? Even if the download mod doesn't work etc?
What should I do?
Well, I happened to end up with the same problem. Installed latest cm 10 nightly, started rebooting my phone. The moment I restarted it from CWM I realised that I forgot to flash some mod in CWM so I pulled the battery to go into recovery. Phone bricked, no input at all. Sent my phone on warranty, I hope they won't mind it had unlocked bootloader and cm10 on it ;P
That's just a bit stupid to be honest, pulling the battery while booting why not just wait?
Sent from my Nexus S
Now I know it's stupid. Do you think they will repair it even though it's cm flashed and unlocked?
i sent mine to repair and they fixed without paying a dime!

The mainboard is fried. No way of knowing previous state of your phone. They will just replace the board.

I had the same issue back in August just after I flashed 4.1.1/JRO03E. It just died one day while listening to music. Took about 3 weeks to get the mainboard replaced under warranty. It came back bootloader unlocked and with Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed.
Ok this is kinda silly, but it happened.
I was charging my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT something (UK version) via the chargeable USB port on my Samsung n150 notepad with the laptop switched off. During this time I was playing N.O.V.A 3 on my Galaxy S3.
As I was playing I switched the laptop on. As the phone was already charging via the USB I didnt think there would be a probably. But when Windows booted to my log in screen, the phone froze and switched off. Now my Galaxy will not switch on. I can only get it to charge and thats all.
Please help!!

Agreed and that is strange how that worked op. Never heard of anything like that. Tried a battery pull I assume?
Sent from a strange blue box hurtling through time and space.
Need more info first. Can you get into DL mode? Recovery? The only thing I could think of would be a power surge when you turned the laptop on caused the phone to fail (highly unliklely).
While browsing through our list of threads reported as 'Newsworthy' for the XDA Portal, I just came across this one. I wonder whose big idea was to report it as newsworthy. Whoever that was needs a healthy dose of common sense.
PS: Mods, can you please move it to the appropriate forum i.e. the one for the international version?
Happened to a Verizon GS3
My Verizon GS3 was turned completely unresponsive (absolutely dead), with no boot of any sort after I unplugged and then plugged in a USB DAC (Fiio E7). I had been using the E7 for several days but today connecting it to the GS3 through USB To Go killed it.
I have read other instances of the same phenomenon.
So I hadn't use my watch for like a 3 weeks and today as I pluged it on the charger it didn't vibrate and didn't turned on as usually. I though maybe the cable doesnt work anymore so I bought a new one but the watch still doesn't shows any signals of life. So i connected it to my pc to check if it detects it and yes it detects so I wanted to reinstall the firmware since I have unlocked bootloader, but I reseted my pc and I dont have the drivers installed. Could someone say my which driver to install? Bc if I good remember I had problems with the android one from google bc it wasn't detecting the watch in fastboot mode. Besides it did anyone of you had similar problem? I'm afraid that the motherboard is broken but why and would then windows detect the device?
