ok so its really only half bricked. it started after i flashed the 1.6ghz ROM...my data wouldnt kick in. a clean wipe and flash, i opened the market to begin my restore of apps and contacts, and when i tried to sign into google, it said "cant establish a reliable data connection" okokok dont panic, i wiped dalvik, and rebooted to no avail i turned 3g on and then off, no go. i tried signing in, and then opening the browser to kick the 3g into drive, and still no joy. i noticed that the upload arrow was the only one being colored in. i called sprint, and they had me do a master reset and STILL nothing. so in a last desperate attempt, i am trying to ODIN and it keeps getting stuck on factoryfs. i googled it and found a few threads involving it, but no real solutions (i rebooted and changed ports before even googling it)
im sorry if this is uninformative ive been working on it for 2 hours and my brain is numb so please if you have any ideas i beg you to share cause im starting to get worried
obliged

hi there i tried this and it didnt work, still stuck on factoryfs
im gunna take that as a hint it might be a bad download of the tar/pit? imma redownload and see what happens
Try a full redownload of the tar. Make sure it's about 255MB or so.
Restart your PC, the phone and Odin. Put the phone into download mode, start Odin, and only THEN plug it into the PC.
I heard that sometimes removing your sdcard before odin may work.. may not do **** but worth a shot. I've had good luck with odin personally.

Okay, I had this happen to me last nite.....Depending on where you got your instructions from you might be putting the TAR file in the wrong section. Please make sure that you are putting that TAR file in the PDA box and not PHONE....I am assuming that around 35% or so it'll just stay at Factoryfs.rfs...Correct? This is probably why so check that out and also make sure that the only two boxes checked on the left are "auto-reboot and debug en"...you should be good to go.
Odin is a very technically retarded program, as it gives limited output as well as ridiculous requirements to get it working correctly. I have had it work flawlessly sometimes and not at all others, so keep at it and eventually it will work, just try every possible combination of settings you can think of and restart the phone/computer multiple times if things still seem to lock up. Hope you get it fixed, I've been there and it sucks!

I used Odin this morning with no issue at all. I battery pulled, and pulled out my sd and left it out until i got my phone back to factory settings. Also restarted my PC before trying running odin. Worked great for me hopefully will do the same for you.
You know I had this SAME EXACT problem! So im sure you wanna know what was up, well, try going to menu,sdcard: see if the sdcard is greyed out in unmount, and format. If so, re-insert your sdcard.. Hope that helps
Oh BTW, if all your trying to do if go back to stock, all you need is the "MD5 tar file for DI18". Put that file in the PDA section, and over to the left there should be 2 boxes checked, 1 should be "reboot" and the ONLY other 1 should be checked is the "Debug" box! MAKE SURE that no other box is checked. Another thing, you can obtain the "DI18" MD5 tar file from the sticky wicky page....
Ok, check this out. I had the exact same issue. My phone freaked! Lemme ask this, did you phone have problems transferring large files (i.e. roms and such) when you would mount it before? Turns out with me, for whatever reason and I'm assuming software. It was an issue with my computer that screwed me. At least try this, get your laptop or any computer that you haven't used to mod or connect your epic to. Download the Samsung USB drivers to it and odin. I found that Odin3 v1.3 works the best. Here is the zip which has everything you'll need for odin h**p://rapidshare.com/files/429741564/Odin.zip . However you'll have to get the samsung drivers on your own. As soon as I used a computer that I had not used to previously mod my epic before, it worked flawlessly. Just get the phone into download mode. Wait til odin is on and then connect it. Only check debug. You should not need the pit file with this, only move the md5 file into pda. That was all I needed. I hope this helps.
Sounds like you've tried alot of the "standard" fixes. The only thing I don't see mentioned is the usb cable that you used. I've seen numerous posts where a cheap 3rd party cable would cause hangs during the ODIN transfers. Are you using the cable that came with the phone? If so, do you have another good quality cable to try?
Good Luck!
oh wow...all the responses! you guys have been amazingly helpful, ill be forever greatful.
good news! odin decided to work this morning, it was definatly a bad download (the .tar was like 5kb lol) and i got my phone up and running
bad news! still no data. i dont understand how an odin couldnt fix any possible software issues....is sprints 3g down, or is my radio shot??
i can still make calls and texts and receive them, but for the life of me cant sync my contacts and i have about a billion ppl calling my today (my day off )
ahhhhhh

I had that problem once, I think is was some stupid fix. I did a couple things.
1. I called sprint and they did a re-activation-- I dont recall that working right off
2. In the browser it asks for your phone number the first time
Http://vision.sprintpcs.com
Then it seemed to work.
After that I have had no problems, even after flashing new roms.
Strange huh.

You guys are amazing! Really rose up to help me out, I can't believe how great it is to know if someones got a problem, ya'll help. Double thanks to the guy who PM'D me. I'm sure you guys will be glad to know I did indeed get ODIN to work, and my data eventuall came back (almost seems faster, too!). So...idk...group hug! Or something

I'm looking for an aosp theme. I'm running baked snack, and its performing beautifully, but I don't like the water mark nor the general theme at all. I looked thru all 10 pages to no avail. Any suggestions? If there isn't, that'll be my contribution (meaning ill make one)
Blue led. It seems retarded its only used when the battery is full. Id prefer to have it in reverse...blue for notifications, and blue until its fully charged. Is this possible?
Four buttons in the notipanel. If they were customisable or something, or you could scroll and there was more, id like it...but it seems other han wifi, they chose the 4 shortcuts I use the least. Are these changeable or removable?
I asked this on a while back...about swapping the camera and power button. I find that when its changed in the .kl that when I turn the screen off it turns right back on...and if its off for a while, it lags when being turned on. Has anyone else tried this and suceeded? What was your method?
Thanks again guys!
My turn! Odin not working.
Edit: Never mind. johnyardavid's download of the newer Odin fixed it for me. Thanks so much!
After failing at updating my phone and sending it to LG to have it done I am having so very annoying issues. Applications seem to just randomly dissapear everyday. I download it, useit, and everyday at some point I go to play a game or use a app I downloaded and it says application not installed. Like I delted it or something. Icon is still on home screen, but when I go to market place every app I downloaded says no installed. I even switch apps to my micro sd card to save phone memory. What gives? Also wifi doesnt work anymore. takes for ever to connect, and when it finally does connect the internet doesnt work. When I try to watch youtube videos or browse it takes forever for things to download or upload even with FULL 4G (from reading around TMO did a little false advertising as you dont know when you "actually" have 4G or 3G on this phone unless you go to phone info and check. BS if you ask me). Videos will play for a few seconds and buffer until I just give up.
While I love the update for the eye candy I am not impressed with the performance. Phone service seems to be better. I have full bars more otfen, but the performance isnt up to par.
I am also wondering if my wife having the HTC sensation has something to do with the slow DATA. As she watches alot of youtube and browses the net alot on her phone. Could TMO be slowing our Data b/c of over use?
In the wordsvof Tombaker....Stop your lying kid. This phone is perfect. NONSENSE!

The apps disappearing probably has to do with your sdcard. When the apps "disappear" is your sdcard mounted to your phone? If your sdcard is mounted to your computer via USB cable, or if your sdcard is removed, then any apps that you've moved to your sdcard won't load.

Yes my sd card is in my phone. They dissapear randomly while not connected to the computer.

I had this problem for a while when on froyo. It was one of the problems I complained about on LG's forum, along with wifi not working right. After getting a refurb and the GB update, wifi still doesn't work right. Haven't had the app problem anymore though.
Yeah it pisses me off b/c I didnt have these problems before. I had the reboot problem but noticed they were far and few between when I did a hard reset. Its a BS I had to do that but it was the only thing I could do to keep it from rebooting. Then no more then 5 minutes of having my phone back it reboots in the middle of a phone call lol. I guess I can deal with having to do hard resets and downloading games apps multiple times, but I would really like to get my wifi up and running again.
So computers have the 'recycle bin' that holds onto a deleted item for a bit. Any chance there is something like that on these?
I discovered two things got deleted this morning by accident and I'd love to get them back!
What did you delete?
I got your 10 char right here
Pictures actually...I think the person I was showing them too did it by accident. Didn't notice until a bit ago when I wanted to email them out.

But lesson learned, back up your sd card. I back mine up to my laptop once a week.

Oh well, not a huge deal...just figured I'd ask!
You could try a file recovery program. It should still be able to recover it unless it has been overwritten with something else
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
suggestions on one?
BTW - I have not rooted my phone or anything like that, it is OEM condition...
I personally use recuva. Just mount your SD card either with an adapter Or plug in your phone onto your PC(I've always used an adapter but this should work). Open up the program select the drive. Select the type of files to recover. And hopefully it should bring them back.
THanks - downloaded that one
Oddly enough, as soon as I plugged it in to my computer the pictures came back! didn't have to do anything with recuva!

I've read that tends to happen a bit if you're using the stock gallery app. Pics don't show up in the gallery but are still on the card. Try a different app. I started using QuickPic and haven't had the mysteriously disappearing photo since.
Try turning off fastboot on your phone.

The pics disappearing on stock gallery is pretty common. There is an easy fix though. Just go the sd card in settings and unmount then remount, and walah your pics are back.

Ive looked through the threads but none related to my issue.. Ive been in the rooting game for 5 years or so, i know what im doing and whats going on -- This particular issue bugs the crap outta me -- been trying to resolve this issue for a little over a month now.. No solution so far.
-- No matter what Rom i use ICS or JB.. No matter what Kernel i use.. I get random reboots (MAINLY while listening to music).. Actually, come to think of it -- thats the only time i get reboots =/ --
While listening to music, it'll be fine for awhile -- then i think (when the cpu goes into a lower state) the music starts to chop a bit... Then when i try to wake the phone, it takes a pretty long time for the unlock screen to show -- when it finally does, and when i try to unlock it, the screen doesnt register to my touch -- it delays. When i finally get the phone unlocked (music still playing) there is soo much lag and choppiness with the phone..
at this point, i would stop playing the music but the phone would still lag until i reboot the phone. Then everything is normal... (Until i play music again)
Another issue (but on the same topic) -- When i play music for awhile, the phone will just reboot out of no where. (This is the most common issue for me).
Ive tried a lot of different cpu settings-- highs and lows, different I/O's, and different governors.. No avail. .. ive even tried different music apps -- same thing happens
Ive changed out my SD card like 3 times and i do the whole wipe thing when coming from different roms..
* But this is the kicker * -- It only started doing this like a little over a month ago and ive been testing/trying different solutions ever since --- My phone has never done this before -- and i havent changed my *routine* of flashing either -- so idk what it could be.
Any solutions guys..?? I have the lastest firmware and everything -- just throwing that out there as well.
EDIT -- Im leaning towards an early stage of a bad battery perhaps..? I have the stock one.
I know you said you took sd card out, but have you wiped and formatted your sd card on a computer and put back in? My phone has acted up every so often and formatting my sd card has helped.

ill update this, when and or if the phones craps out again.
Have noticed over the last couple of days that my phone has become very slow.
It's a sim free phone in the UK and completely stock. I have not installed anything new app wise or made any kind of changes I can put it down to. When first purchased I found the phone to be very snappy in and out of apps despite the mid range hardware and 2gb ram.
I have no more than a dozen as installed . Just don't understand what's going on as it seems like there is a delay when you select anything or switch in and out of the app tray etc.
Rebooting it doesn't help?
Funny enough it does seem to have improved things. It was almost like the old Samsung slow down the get on the galaxy phones. Very strange, will just have to monitor it and see how things go.

What ext sd card you are using? And did you merge it with internal sd card?
If not and your phone is just as simple and clean as you mentioned just earse it to factory default by going to reset

My doesn't get hot, it just stupidly slow, and really annoying, but O2 haven't related the 6.0.1 Firmware so maybe that might fix the performance? otherwise I might root it and overclock it a little...
Really annoying as its only 4 months into a 2 year phone contract!

In that case i suggest you to contact htc support or your carrier to demande a new device.
try root thing at last when you have no solutions or into a dead end.
Because root will remove the warrant.

Yeah mine too. It's starting to drive me mad.
Texting is getting worse. Starts fine and just doesn't seem to keep up.

I bought one for my girlfriend, HTC one A9 16gb but with more than 5 completely lost... At the beginning everything was just fine, great speed and performance.
Because of it's lack of memory I decided to use the SD card as internal storage, micro SD 64Gb Sandisk class 10. After the format the HTC showed alert about the speed of the SD, it could not be enough fast.
After reinstalling apps and moving the heaviest to the SD it started to be very slow, WhatsApp took too much to open and even Google maps couldn't load properly, taking ages to work.
I ended up taking the SD out, using it as normal external storage. It went back to normal and now works good, the only thing now is that she only had 1.5Gb left for the apps and it runs out super fast just because of the thumbnails images and cache.
Has anyone tried with a high speed SD? Or has noticed this same problem?
