[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Your problem is most likely an outdated version of CWM.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

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

Help! Not sure what I did...

I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick and that went well, when ahead and installed ROM Manager from the Market and flashed the CWM (T-Mobile version).
Then I was going to boot into recovery mode so I shut down and hit POWER + DOWN, did that, now my phone is stuck in ODIN MODE with the android logo and a message saying "Downloading...do not turn off target"
Under ODIN Mode
Product Name: SGH-I727R
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
Any help?!

K so how did the phone get into dload mode and if there is no usb connected to it than just take out battery and power back ur phone again.

After I hit 'Flash CWM Recovery' in ROM Manager, do I need to reboot in recovery mode with ODIN? Any instructions to do so?

NO just hit flash in cwm in rom manager and let it flash in cwm and than do this to install rom.

Ahhh got it - ok will back up then try to flash

When you say "Go to CWM" how do I do that exactly? Same with clearing the data/cache/dalvik?

Open up rom manager and select second option reboot into recovery. and there will be options in cwm about clearing data/cache and under advance you can clear dalvik.

Thanks! And when you install the add ones for the ICS, is it just the APKs that you need to put on your SD?

depends if its apk than you can install it regularly and if its .zip file you have to flash it through cwm. IT will say by file if its cwm flash able or apk. By the way you must be topped out on ur thanx rite haha cauz i don't see any.
Just wanted to know if this was ur first android. I am sure it is.

you can bootloader as well
to use cmd go into bootloader(screen when hold vol - + power) then just click power 1 time
then typin cmd: [command] adb push your-rom.zip /sdcard
note that the rom must be in same folder as adb
or use the flash command with adb wich im very sorry for that i forgot

the PG58IMG needs to be in root of sd then boot by bootloader let it update then remove it from sd by sd reader plugged into pc then rom in root flash it and you get the rom working

You could enter recovery before?? I mean, you have CWM installed right?
Anyways, if you can enter Download mode as you said you can flash any ROM you like, here you have:
- Stock ROMS
- Custom ROMs
Hope it helped ^^

That is a great help thanks, though some of the latests stock roms are on megaupload and are dead links.
Been searching for those threads for ages, though they seemed to have eluded me!/

Haha well, some of them are on Megaupload, but most of them are on multiupload, which is great because it has links to many servers in the same one page! Try it!
And you're welcome, we're here to help

Still having issues, i was hoping to get it back to stock but i cant seem to find a complete update e.g. I9003 XXKPE if you know where i can find one please advise.(all the links to full updates are broken in the above links).
Also, being a noob i am struggling to find info on how to get CWM on my device, as i mentioned i can only get to Download screen. Do you know where i can instructions for flashing it with odin3? All the ones i have seen seem to suggest you need to know what version you are currently running, but i have no idea.
Thanks.

I don't think you can install CWM withount knowing your current firmware... I'll make a tiny tutorial for you for flashing with Odin:
1. Download XXKPE from the link from geekynoob
2. Download the latona file: http://www.mediafire.com/?8753v6sqskbdxs6
3. Put your phone in Download Mode (when off, push Volume Down + Home + Power for a few seconds) and connect it to your PC via USB
4. In Odin, push PIT and select the latona file. Make sure Re-Partition is checked when you do (Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time should be checked as well).
5. Push Start and wait. When finished, the phone will reboot and stay on a black screen. Then, remove your battery and put it back again.
6. Get into Download Mode again and connect your phone to the PC. Now push Reset and select the XXKPE files:
Code:
[B]BOOTLOADER[/B] -> select the file with [I]APBOOT[/I] in his name
[B]PDA[/B] -> select the file with [I]CODE[/I] in his name
[B]PHONE[/B] -> select the file with [I]MODEM[/I] in his name
[B]CSC[/B] -> select the file with [I]CSC[/I] in his name
If any of these files do not exist, leave the field blank.
7. Push Start and wait until reboot If you want another version just flash over XXKPE
Now for the root and CWM:
1. Download the file for your firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
2. Enter into Download Mode
3. Open Odin, push Reset and load the file you downloaded in the PDA field. Push Start and done!!
If you don't know your version though or you can't flash KPE, it could be difficult to install CWM. You can always try using Kies and update your version (if there is an update) or reseting/reinstalling from there your curent firmware (I think you can, but not sure).
Ask if you found any problem!

Are you sure you can't access recovery using volume up+home+power button? Do that and factory reset, it'll boot up

You did not mention which stock rom you flashed.
Start from scratch.
Flash XXKPE first. Follow the guide given by Misledz.
Then go for XXKPQ or DDKP3 as you decide.

Directly booting to recovery

I have a rooted S-7500, with CWM recovery 5.0.2.8 installed. I (by mistake) allowed the 'software update' option to install a system update(or something) today by mistake (I know, you should never install system updates after rooting. My bad.) Since then, the phone directly goes to the cwm recovery mode on powering on, and i am unable to do anything else
I am not very well versed with the finer details of rooting bootloader recovery n all...so pls some details with steps...if possible .
Any help whatsoever...please I will be really grateful

Thanks!!! It totally worked!
Just a clarification...now that i have got the stock rom back on my phone...am i right in saying that I have lost root access, my phone is totally back to the 'original' state, and i have lost CWM as well? Please correct me if I am wrong.
And assuming that I am correct(above), I would like to re-root my device(need to use proxydroid to surf internet over the damned proxy server!). So..can I follow the standard method, ie, can I do it the same way I had done before, or do i need to do something different now?
And once again...THANK YOU for your help! I had ended up hard bricking my previous phone, and was really scared when this happend to my aceP. You saved me!

Easy way to ROOT your SGAP
Yes by the time you flash stock rom you loss root even any custom recovery you flashed before...
but now if you want to root your SGAP again don't follow that guide again which you done before just follow this :
Download ODIN from Downloading link below (inside ODIN software folder)
Download any one recovery which you like TWRAP / CWM v5.5 (inside Custom recovery folder)
Download Root_SGAP.zip from Root folder & place that zip inside in your sd card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download Link : GALAXY Ace Plus - Basic stuff
FOR Custom_Recovery :
Open odin, be sure your system has already install drivers & if kies is there close it.
extract recovery zip
connect device to pc in download mod (vol down + power + home) & select that (recovery) .md5 file in pda section inside ODIN software
Click start & wait to reboot device
FOR ROOT :
Now boot device in CWM mod ( vol up + down + power + home)
choose zip from sd card & select Root_SGAP.zip
DONE.

you've successfully ROOT & flash custom recovery on your device by just few simple steps ​

Just 1 more qstn...is it necessary to apply a custom recovery before rooting? If no, is it recommended?? Because the last time i rooted, it made me put a custom recovery before rooting.

if you are going to stick on stock rom forever & only want to root device then stock recovery is ok for you...
but while dealing with custom roms, custom recoveries are smart choice.
it has lot of additional options than stock recovery.
so my opinion yes use custom recovery ​

Stuck in boot loop
Got stuck in boot loop after performing the steps. I was running this ROM.
Had to reinstall the ROM. I'm sure there's something I didn't understand or something I did wrong. I'd be thankful if anyone could point it out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi! I had the same problem, and I flashed stock ROM! Now is all Ok, but my phone is not rooted. I want to try it again! But I am scared! What if I again stuck in CWM Boot Loop? Is it possible to that happen again?

Please help me!
