[Q] Samsung epic Bricked after Rom Flash

Hi Guys i kinda new to Phones but not a complete noob,
Now i know what many of you are thinking "this has already been resolved" true but i think my case is a little different. I had flashed the Frozen syndicate ROM like 3 weeks ago a new version came out i made a stupid mistake and BAM i was bricked no problem i went to Odin and Flashed back to stock. But now every time i try to flash any rom at all it gets bricked and it will just stay at the Samsung Screen and wont do nothing after and everytime i have to flash back to stock . Can you guys help?

WELL TRY THIS from stock rom..
1. GOTO RECOVERY
2. wipe data,cache, dalvik cache, sd ext
3. partition sd card
4. repair sd ext
5. download the uploaded file and flash
6, it will format total system
7. turn on usb ms toggle and copy rom file to sd card
8. turn of usb..
6. flash rom..
7, it will work
(MAKE SURE U USE A ROM MEANT FOR UR DEVICE)

YES!! i went step by step and when i flashed the file you gave me it stayed at the samsung screen .. it seems it does that if i flash anything at all form CWM

Your problem is most likely an outdated version of CWM. Update to version 3.0.1.0 via ROM Manager.

NOW THIS IS BAD..!
BY THE WAY I FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS with CWM..
use modified recovery.img from drellisdee..
link:-> http://www.mediafire.com/file/uf752h...-1.1.0.img.zip
now this problem is complicated!
CAN U GO BACK TO STOCK?
THEN I WILL TELL U HOW TO INSTALL THE ABOVE AND U CAN GIVE IT A SHOT!

I am at stock i flash stock through Odin and it gets unbricked then i re root a recover my Rom

listen dont worry..
if u have adb shell installed in ur pc then fine..
else this will be an additional burden 4 u..
now b patient and read this 1st..
http://lgoptimusonep500.blogspot.com/2011/01/installing-custom-recovery-on-lg.html
install this recovery... then repeat the steps i told u..
(ALL THE ABOVE SHOULD B DONE AFTER REVERTING BACK TO STOCK ROM)

I dont have abd shell Where can i download it

yeah i know!!
installing a recovery is all the same in all phones coz its got the same image file for different phones!
just dont hurry now.. take ur time.. 1 day.. 2 days.. 3 days..
and dont worry again.. the same procedure is for ur phone also!!
anywz i gotta go!
its 4am here in india..
any problems u post it here.. i wil catch up wit u later..

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaannndd it still doesn't work man this is crap

I Figured something out its when ever i try to flash something with EXT4 is when it bricks?? it that helpful in any way

well the info u gave me may b helpful because some custom roms do not support EXT4..
so i would advice to double check if rom supports ext4 or not?
LEFT WITH ONLY 3 THINGS NOW
1. post in the developers section and ask him
2. try using another rom
3. dont do ext 4.. jus partition sd, sd ext repair, ext2 to ext 3 (say 4 example the rom i am using right now doesnot support ext4!!)
do this and lemme know..

this guy is having the same problem using CWM.. talk with him if u can

[Q] SD card wont mount, and is repeating on Bootloader.

I NEED HELP! :crying: It's been 2 days and I have been searching all over the internet to find an answer and i cannot. I flashed Cyanogen 10 and it started up but after that, the sd card wouldnt mount, ive tried everything i could, but nothing is working. I need some help please!
Im on Wind Mobile, Hboot is 1.14.0004.
I couldnt find an RUU that worked, and my cid is Globa001

OK so do you have a working ROM and just can't mount with that rom? Or are you in a boot loop and can't mount in recovery? What recovery are you using?

I had the cyanogen rom but it wont start up anymore, I just installed it through recovery TWRP 2.1.7 but it didnt work! I turn it on and i get stuck at the HTC Quietly Brilliant with the red writing at the bottom "this build is for development......"

hi!
it seems like I had the same problem some time ago after flashing CM10...
my solution: flash a recovery img with fastboot where u can access your internal sd via the usb cable. format it, done. I use the Team Win Recovery v2.3.3.0 - I hope u can do that with v2.1.7 too. After formatting the sd card, I flashed a new ROM (ViperOneS in my case) and everything worked fine again.

You need to flash stock recovery and then factory reset in bootloader.

Well i flashed it, but it didnt work. Then i tried to adb push it to /data, but the zips didnts install. I got an error. So the phone still freezes at the "HTC quietly brilliant screen."
So when i try to flash a stock it says "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

What did you try to push to /data?
If my memory isnt failing me, /data isnt accessable by ADB by default (needs ro.secure=0 in default.prop).
Whatever you pushed, push it to /sdcard instead.

ADB push worked, the zip when through, but i just couldnt install it. I'm trying it now again to see if it works this time. and then im going to try to push it to /sdcard, but since its not in im not sure if it will detect it But i will try it right after i push it to /data/sdcard
Edit: Didnt work! im trying to push to /sdcard now.
Edit2: Well i tried to flash to /sdcard but the file did not show up
Edit3: So i got the file onto my phone, but it will not install because /sdcard and /cache will not mount. :'(

Can you flash a different recovery? - That's what I would try first, then make shure that the SD is mountable. I remember not being able to install a ROM without a working SD...

If you haven't tried this already,
flash the stock recovery
bootloader: "clear storage"
Stock recovery will usually restore the sdcard and format it properly.
!!!This will erase your internal memory but it usually fixes the basic sdcard issues,

Means you're having exactly the same problem I had.I tried different ways and techniques to fix it but none worked.Then finally I fixed it by just flashing my device's stock firmware. But still there may be another simpler fix for your particular device so just try googling around the internet, mentioning your device and its problem, if nothing works then just flash it's stock firmware. But just in case you don't know how to, just take it to the nearest Samsung service centre and hopefully the guys there will flash its stock firmware. Just for your information, before I manually tried flashed the stock firmware, I also did take my device to a service centre first, but they found out it was rooted and they said they couldn't fix it and they said that the only way it was to replace its motherboard, which costs more than half the phone's total price. But when I took it home I finally decided to flash the firmware manually and thus, the device is up and running again.

Hey man I think OS has been properly intalled in ur device....
Just flash it with stock firmware.....

Firstly just flash it with stock firmware and then let me know about it...
I have a lot of ways....lets see which one works on ur device...

install supersu again. It resolved to me.
In TWRP you have to do all wipes and reboot the recovery. The Recovery will say to you to install Root, click 'yes"

You'll have to flash stock firmware first via odin then flash a custom rom...unless your particular custom rom requires the /system partition to be formatted first, then you don't have to flash stock..hope this helps..
