Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though
Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.
Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.
Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

I just bought this phone yesterday off a guy from craigslist for $50.00 I cant do that.
Ooh you are the
poster from the other thread. Try uninstalling Kies and using these drivers.

You don't need to have tmobile. Just an imei number

Also, did the guy from craigslist give you a generic USB cord or the official Samsung one? Not all of the generic USB cord provide syncing features, so they just charge the phone.

When i plug the phone into the pc the phone just charges thats it.Not sure if its the right cord or not.
I ended up finding a unlocker the guys actually called me to make sure what phone I had now Im running with AT&T go phone.I left tmobile because of the service was just awful in the area that I had to move to.Now I can make calls and text with full bars.
I really want to get this phone rooted so I can try out some roms.I sure miss the G2x was fun testing all the different ones it had
you have to buy a new USB plug! Went tthrough the same problem on my old vibrant I thought I bricked it because it wouldn't turn on,I sent it in and tthey fixed it and sent it back.. still undergoing the same problem I asked a friend for help. He said maybe it was the wire And tthat's exactly what it was. It is most likely without a doubt the wrong wire. Buy a new one!

I actually never thought about that.Will have to try that.I have another post on this problem here

That does make sense.Thanks for stating the obvious
My original cable got hosed (dropped it in a parking lot...D'oh!) and I bought a new T-Mobile branded one from the T-Mobile store. Was $14 or so, which I felt was robbery, but it works like a champ. I've had no problems flashing ROMs or anything with it.
I just looked the cord over man Im dumb and feel really stupid right now lol Its a LG cord.They say when you hit 40 ya go blind
Honestly, one wouldn't think the brand would matter. And no 40 jokes...hittin' 41 tomorrow

Oh just figured it was for just LG phones. It doesnt feel like it connects to the phone to snug either.
So I'm going to exchange my infuse. I have the shipping labels already but my question is, I told them I bricked after updating to gingerbread, they never asked how I updated or anything. I told them my issue, and they issued the labels, my thing is, I didn't tell them it was after updating to ucbl3 and that I was rooted, I have hacking stuff on the root of the internal sd card, will they refuse to help me because of any of this?
Lol, Your making absolutely no sense at all, None what so ever. Odin back to stock using GTG Ultimate Unbrick then ship phone back. Simple as that!
I probably should have added I have bricked it. I can't get to download and I only have 3e. I have exhausted every download mode option, but let's focus on my question please? Thanks though.

If they unbrick it themselves and find the phone has been rooted they won't replace the phone. I hear a lot of ppl saying a usb jig may unbrick the phone. Google it.

I have personally never heard of a truely bricked Infuse. Even without a jig.
What have you tried to get into dl mode?
I have tried the volume rockers, all variations of it. Battery/no battery. Holding both, inserting battery, then cable. doing cable then battery while holding rockers. I've tried doing the adb way, but it wont show under attached devices. Basically, no matter what I do, as soon as put in the usb, it always boots to SAMSUNG screen.

It is extremely unusual for this to happen. I can tell you how I do dl mode if that helps.
I remove battery
Hold down up and down volume
Insert battery
Insert USB cord connected to PC.
Chances are, if you send the phone in like that, they will see that you voided your warranty by rooting it and you will get charged full price for the phone.

!?!?!?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Ok i had the same problem. Nothing worked, not even a jig. But, there is a website called mobiletechvideos. The head guy saved it from the brick, and found out my usb port was broken (replaced for free, did no good ). Going to trade in my infuse for another infuse when we get the note. The service is 40 dollars, but heck its better then taking a risk and paying 530 or whatever att says it "lists" for.

Do what he says. You would be a fool to send it back as it is. It can be fixed. You don't want to pay full price for that phone and att will charge you for it.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
They dont really care, man. I dont want to give you bad advice, but I went into a device support center today. The phone was rooted, and I even had superuser in the app drawer, and CWM recovery flashed. The people arent even smart enough to realize that it was rooted or custom recovery was installed. They tried to flash it with the stock recovery tool they have, and it bricked. They gave me another one.
Honestly, it is in their best interest to just intake the phone. They strip it of all working parts, take it all apart, split them into bins, and create new refurbished phones out of them.
Is this an AT&T exchange? If so, they generally send you the replacement phone first, and then with the shipping label in the box, you ship the phone back.
There is that chance though. I hate to see anyone pay full price for a phone when they don't have to. Att gets enough money from their customers.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
No I don't have an att account anymore. It would be a straight to Samsung trade.
What could this mobile tech video guy do that I couldn't do myself?

Was running cm10 4.1.1 with butter from last month's build. Running great.... but then phone turned off while in idle one time and won't restart. Won't even bring to Samsung screen or when plugged into computer.. no download mode. No cwm boot as well. I've tried pulling the battery and even putting in my spare one.. no luck. However, sometimes when I do just try to power up normally my keys light up and give the vibration when touched. Which provides some hope
Never had a brick like this before. I'm sure there's software to run... just not sure since no download mode.
Thanks

I'm not really an expert on Samsung devices, but I heard of an item called the USB Jig which apparently repairs hard bricks(?). Its Samsung Galaxy S exclusive, I believe. You might want to check that out

Thanks! I actually just found one of those little guys are ordered it. Had no clue this device existed.. hope it works! Would hate to ditch my infuse now..

So I recently got my jig, didn't feel like sacrificing a cable. I'm sad to say that when plugged in (and yes it is plugged in correctly) there is no response from my phone. The download screen does not appear. Just remains blank.. I tried the same jig on my friend's gs2 for us cellular and worked there. Is my phone so messed up that the jig will not be recognized?
Also, the jig I ordered has been reported to work fine on the infuse.

That price is pretty normal in Denmark. Here its usually cheaper to buy a new smartphone, than getting it fixed. Its only iPhone that is cheap because so many unauthorized store use cheap China spare parts

I'm not passing any judgment on you so don't get offended, but my guess is they figure since you took a drill to it, either a. they think you don't care about the money or b. you're an idiot and will pay without questioning.
But from the pictures, it wouldn't surprise me if it's not just the screen.
good luck!
It should be just the screen because I replaced it with an eBay one but the screen wasn't a original. It kinda work with the eBay one but it didn't. I sent it back and I'm guessing it was the screen. Everything in it is not damage and I live is the united States by the way.
Edit: Can anyone link me to an OEM screen ? On eBay or Amazon only

I'd get a new phone. As hinted already....you'd be lucky if the only thing wrong is the screen. Probably more damage than that. I wouldn't potentially waste money on trying to fix it.....only to discover there's other problems too.
