[Q] [Help] I have tried everything I can, Samsung Epic

Ok im stuck trying to get clockwork mod running on my epic can anyone help?
I have tried one click root and odin but nothing seems to work to get my computer to recognize my phone and when it does it doesnt work right.
I have the ROM Manager app and I can boot into a recovery (I think its CM 2.5.2.1) but if I click on flash ClockworkMod Recovery it says "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" this happens on 3G or wifi and it happens instantly after selecting Epi on the list.
Im so lost
Also if it matters I am using the original cable on a Motherboard mounted USB port running Win 7 Home premium 64 bit and I have re downloaded the drivers a bunch of times and I have tried PdaNet

bump, can anyone help or at least direct me where to post this question if this isnt the right place?

[Q] SGS unable to USB connect

Hi
I have run into a small problem with my SGS 9000. I wanted to flash Insanity ROM 8.5 and ran into some problems so I restored my phone using Odin. I then booted into recovery and flashed a new modem and Kanity kernel 2.0. I then accidentally hit reboot before flashing the new ROM and now the phone won't boot (halts at the first SGS logo).
I can access download mode but not recovery. When I connect the phone to USB, Windows gives me a message that USB unit not recognized. This means I can't restore it using Odin.
I've tried taking out the battery for 5 minutes and changing computer/cable. I also uninstalled/re-installed the Samsung drivers and re-booted the computer a couple of times. Could it have something to do with USB debugging mode?

mate, open odin and the insanity rom....
then go to download mode on ur sgs and plug in ur usb, if alls well? reflash the Insanity ROM 8.5 again

That would work if Odin could discover the phone. I can get into download mode but the computer does not recognize the phone and thus I can not flash anything through Odin.

Could it have something to do with USB debugging mode?
no...
ur in a stivky situation, have u sorted it yet? ask a custom rom dev about it

[Q] brick phone (i think)

Hi all,
i have Rogers phone with stock AT&T ROM 2.3.6 not rooted phone.
UCKK3
in general the phone is working nice no issues, but i wanted to root my phone but here is the issues
SuperOneClick as all you know for know is not working so it's not an option right now
flash: when i'm trying to load into download mode i get different download mode from what i had before
Blue text
Android system recovery <3e>
tried to flash using this method i get:
E:signature verification failed
i google it, tried to fix it using root explorer but i need my phone to be rooted in order to fix it so not an option right now as well
Odin: when the phone is working Odin recognized my phone but i can't do any flash, when i'm in download mode Odin is not recognized my phone and i have drivers installed on my computer, so this method is also not good.
i wanted to restore my phone to Rogers ROM but i don't have the way to flash it to my phone...
so i'm not sure what status is my phone, even that it's working good no issues but just knowing it's brick need to fix...
please help...
thanks

Recovery is not the same as download mode. Turn the phone off, unplug the USB cable, then hold down both volume buttons and plug in the USB cable while holding them. Do not touch the power button.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy SL : Can't Recover ! Need Help

Hi All,
I was using Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003) with Android Gingerbread 2.3.6. I wanted to install CM10. Here what I did.
-> Rooted the phone using Odin (Windows)
-> Installed CM10 through SD Card
-> Installed gapps through SD Card
So far went well and I was able to install the ROM. But my key board was not working. So I wanted (I got scared on rooting) to recover my stock ROM (which I took backup through CWM)
Now my phone got soft bricked. It goes into boot loop (Samsung logo). Doesn't open up recovery. It goes into Download mode. But none of the computer recognizes it. Odin (Windows) doesn't, Heimdall doesn't, ADB doesn't. Fastbood Doesn't.
I am desperate for a solution to bring my phone alive.
It does turn on and it goes into download mode. But not able to find option to flash the Rom.
I am new to the forum and this area. So sorry for my ignorence

If you've flashed "[ALPHA][ROM][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 for Samsung Galaxy SL - Alpha 4 - Farewell Release" and re-flashed other roms other than Alpha 4 without repartition(going back to Odin-Pit-XXKPE/XXKPQ-DDLF2/or any-root) I think you've hard bricked your phone...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048672

Thanks.. I also think so. if I give it to Samsung service center.. can they recover it (it's out of warranty) - if it is less costlier than a new phone ?
Thanks,
Achir

as far as i know, if you can go into download mode then your phone is not bricked.
just flash back to CM10A4 and follow the step to go back to stock.

How can I flash ? No computer is detecting my device. What alternate option I have ? Can a Jig help ? I think jig is just to put the phone in download mode.
Thanks,
Achir

Lola's i9003 was dead because it does not start... but my friend in this case achir SL is still recoverable...
@achir:dont panic and dont flash unnecessary things...You have soft bricked your SL.. too much of flashing and a small mistake can brick your phone.
and since you said your phone is not detected by ODIN but you can still go in download mode... so here are the steps which can help you..
1.Install samsung USB drivers for I9003
2.Install net framework on your PC
3.Disable your computers Antivirus and Firewall(it may interupt with ODIN process)
4.Restart your PC.
5.Connect your phone in download mode.
6.If its detected by system but not by ODIN then unplug and then replug the phone, repeat this process untill your phone is recognised by ODIN(rebooting of PC should also be done if necessary).
7.Once connected/recognised by ODIN flash a stock firmware.
8.Be patient because the first boot will take a long time.
let me know if it worked well?

You need not worry. I too had a bricked my phone exactly on Jan 1 (and missed wishing my friends as my phone was off).
See my forum where i faced the same issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076250
As our members have mentioned you can reinstall the Samsung drivers in the PC which will make ODIN detect your phone. :good:

Okay. I re-installed the driver but still my PC doesn't recognize it (unknown device). My Mac and my friend's Linux can not recognize it.
I have my personal Mac (Windows is in office laptop which doesn't have full admin). But I tried with Heimdall and ADB in my Mac (I assume doesn't need driver) but they can not list my device.
Now my critical problem is making my Mac detect the device so that I can proceed with some recovery (if at all possible).

You case is very similar with lolation. From cm10a4 with mtd fs direct flash rfs fs. Lolation go to service center.

I tried a lot but it seems no computer can recognize the phone. It seems service center is the only option

Have you try using another usb cable?(maybe the usb cable you're using now is defect)..According to Dhiru, either Alpha 3 or 4 won't result in a hardbrick...read here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35505300#post35505300

[q] is there any hope left for my tab?

problem began after i factory reset the tab, my tab keeps rebooting everytime either when i connecting to a wifi network/turning off the wifi/going to settings. then it freezes, and shows the samsung logo indefinitely.
when i force reboot it no longer goes into the system but only to samsung logo. i had to factory reset everytime to get into welcome screen.
the tab also have a usb connection issue as it wont get detected by the pc
odin pro is available but kinda useless since it still have to download specific files the tab for it to work
my tab is currently running on 4.1.2 P6800DXMD3 with skyhigh 3.9.1 kernel.no custom recovery
hope my english is good enough
anybody here can help me?

1. Try wipe cache in recovery and flash stock kernel.
2. Try flash full official firmware package with Odin PC. You may need to factory reset again in recovery before first boot.
Best of luck

You didn't say (and haven't said) it wouldn't connect in Download Mode. I didn't assume.....
- Make sure you have both the latest Samsung USB and ADB drivers installed. Uninstall old ones, reboot, install new and reboot.
- Have you checked your USB cable is ok?
If you can't enter download mode, you could be hurting.
- If all you can do is enter stock recovery, and if you had USB debugging enabled, maybe it's possible to push to system and preload etc. with ADB.

bought a new one just for the sake of this

my tab can enter download mode but odin wont detect it.

im gonna assume usb debugging is disabled since i factory reset the tab. so the setting must have been reset as well? but then i cant to to settings then the tab would freeze.

Not sure is this will help but can you put the source files on an SD card and then use mobile odin pro to flash files then maybe you can get the tab to work. Best of luck.:fingers-crossed:

thanks for suggestion but i already resolve the prob :victory:
mobile odin still havent download the specific files for the tab so most of its features doesnt work. it doesnt even read files for sd card (not sure why)
but luckily i was able to flash custom recovery (twrp recovery) through it. so i had to push the files in via bluetooth from my phone.
well once in recovery just do all the usual stuff to flash the rom. using pac man right now. really wanted to use stock but i scared the bug would come again.
mobile odin literally saved my tab
