OK, SO HERE IS THE DEAL.!
Tried rooting my Epic 4g Touch SPH-D710 GB27 Sprint. and it got hung up at modem.bin, now the only thing i can acces in the phone is download mode. so i downloaded the stock ROM and tried flashing it again. but it got hung up again at modem.bin. no ROM is working and it doesn't matter what usb cable i use or what usb port i use it still does the same. i tried all sorts of things like removing SD card, uninstalling drives and re installing nothing works it always gets hung up at modem. i kind of came up with a solution in my head but not sure how to do it. what if i flash the ROM without the modem file and once i get my phone to boot flash the modem through recovery mode. i looked for all kinds of solutions but no thread gave me a straight up answer. if anyone knows how to fix this can you please provide me instructions and download links if required.
THANKS A LOT.!

I have a Samsung Infuse that I recently rooted and installed Serendipity on. I then attempted to load CM7, which caused some problems. Now the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo and doesn't go any further; I can only load into CWM (Red), which can be "updated" to Green, after a hard reset. I've attempted to reflash the ROM from the SD card (even after wiping Dalvik cache, cache partition, and factory reset), but it just gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
My issue is further complicated by the fact that Download mode doesn't want to work - my phone can enter Download mode, but my computer (with Kies installed for the drivers) doesn't recognize the phone being connected. I've occasionally gotten Download mode to work if the battery is removed at just the right moment, but it doesn't last. Due to this, I can't get Odin to work.
Any ideas on what to do next?

You have a soft brick.
Odin or heimdall back to stock.
There are about fifty threads previously posted on this topic.
Just read thru a few...

Thanks for the attempt, but as I said before Download mode isn't recognized by the computer, and that is an important component for Odin or heimdall to work.
I have occasionally gotten access to the SD card through CWM, so I can place ZIP files directly on the phone. If anyone has any ideas on what to flash from the phone, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance!

Try it on another computer. I recommended Odin back to stock first before you start flashing!

make sure you are trying to get into DL mode correctly...
pull battery, hold ONLY the volume buttonS - not the power button -;
insert battery, plug in cable.
if that doesnt work, use a different usb cable.
try different port on the computer
try a different computer or winxp or win7
it's kinda finicky at times.
Finally got it working - needed to use a different computer. Used my brother's laptop and it worked first try. Thanks for your guys' help.
Originally one cm7, tried out cm9 but apparently i never got the bootloader right so i was getting rainbows. I tried to switch to emancipation and that loaded up fine. went and made one more attempt to cm9 but no luck. i am not stuck at the samsung logo. If Odin connects it gets to the step that says setup connection but never moves past. What are my options? I don't even care what rom i'm on as long as i can use the phone. cm9 gives and error if i try and flash. i can still access red CWM. emancipation will flash and say complete but if i reboot it just sits as the samsung logo. i checked mounts and no matter what i cant mount system which i think is my problem. i can no longer see the phone from my pc either. so i don't believe i can get another rom to it from the pc.
Any help is appreciated, screen shots or explanation for dummies is much appreciated. I've done this before but have never been stuck like this where i couldn't get back to a working rom stock or otherwise.
Thanks,
Joe
Try qksters heimdal to stock and see. If no luck, try Odin again(gtgs unbrick)but try with every USB port until it works. Sometimes Odin likes to prefer a certain one. Anyways, I prefer using the heimdall package. A lot more easier in my opinion
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then
did you wipe user data,cache,and delvic
yes. also finally got hemidall to load on the home pc but phone would never connect. even if i went through cwm and put it into download mode.
Kies wont see phone ive tried that too. pc sees it and load drivers but it wont connect. i cant even see it as a mass storage on the pc anymore. gunna try odin from my work pc. If anyone can help it would be great i need to fix this asap as im in the middle of purchasing a house and have quite few people im going back and forth with.

You need to install the drivers that come with hemidall before it will connect to your phone

got odin to work. i needed a different usb cable.
I had a similar problem, except I was unable to flash any from after attempting to flash cm9. Im on vacation away from my computer so I was unable to Odin, I just kept using the three finger method to get into recovery. And kept trying to flash a different roms always getting stuck at the Samsung logo...after about 1-2 hours of continuesly flashing i was finally able to flash a rom-after my phone finally booted up I booted into recovery which was now red again and instead of flashing the kernel I just flashed cm9 again. Got stuck on Samsung logo booted into recovery which was once again rainbowish and reflashed and then I booted up into cm9!!!
So basically for those who are away from a computer just keep attempting to flash-it worked for me just took a looooong time

My sidekick was soft bricked so i used odin to recover it. now when i plug it in it goes immediately to the download mode screen and is recognized by odin. problem is is it restarts after min or so. odin starts flash modem passes, kernel passes, but while flashing the factoryFs, it gets to 53% and the phone restarts and it fails. it does this in oneclick odin and also in odin3. any help would be much appreciated. the phone wont work unless plugged in and it restarts every min.
Have you used Odin before?
If not, try downloading a new recovery image for your device.
You'll have to use the ability to search the interweb to get yourself one. Go get it.
Try reinstalling drivers for your phone on your OS. Reinstalling JRE (Java Realtime Enviroment) backup and clear your sdcard, then do as you have been doing before and let me know if you can get somewhere, thanks!

yes, ive used orin before with no problem. my little girl plugged my phone while it was flashing and causing it go to the phone-!-computer screen. I was able get it out of that but now its doing what i stated earlier. i been lookin for the image you mentioned but it seems all the links but so far all the link are bad or have the fbi warning on it. imma keep trying to look for it though.
Ive reinstalled the drivers several times, changed usb ports, i only have one usb cord that i could get to work so im stuck s far as that goes. not sure how to do the jre but ill google it, in all the threads i read on here your the first to mention jre. i havent had a sd card in the phone since it messed up, should there be? i let you know if it works. thanks
I followed this links w.mobilescommunity.com/android-tips-tutorial/208463-how-root-samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g.html[/url] instructions to a "T" and when the phone came back on it stops at the welcome screen no matter what. I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery per these instructions /theunlockr.com/2012/04/17/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-blaze-4g/[/url] and it seemed to work as I get the OMR mode when I try to get the download screen without having it already cable connected to the PC. When I have it connected to the PC I am able to get to the "Download" mode. OI! I never have had a problem rooting before. The stock OS ICS 4.0.4 was on it and I bought it new from T-Mobile and then it did the OTA update a week ago. I have had nothing on it other than stock and a few camera apps. I have already tried to return it to OEM with the OMR recovery but its still the same, always booting to the welcome screen. When I try to get it into a mode, ether the recovery mode or the download mode, it sometimes vibrates several times and then "May" go into one or the other depending if its cable tethered or not. HELP PLEASE, I disabled and this is my only outside contact short of coming into town to use the Internet at a cafe. Thanks, Jeff

----- Did you ever get your Blaze fixed?....
pretty much the same problem i have!!! i currently have the samsung galaxy s blaze and rooted it to the custom rom from konane using the odis program, it said passed and auto rebooted my phone, but when it gets to the home screen where you touch the android to set up your phone like its brand new, when i hit the android bot all that happens is a message force closing a bunch of apps appear. i can get to the download mode to install new roms and i've tried to re root back to the stock rom but now my computer doesnt recognize my phone. i've downloaded and installed the samsung drivers from several different forums including the ones recommended here but still nothing. what im wondering is if theres a way to install the rom or driver from an sd card to the phone or something else that im missing, or is my phone just screwed? any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Hi There,
Had an ongoing problem which i've tried and havent been able to solve. My phone died a week ago, to my surprise it seemed to be unable to power on. After trying more simpler methods, i figured my phone was bricked, as it is unable to boot into recovery mode regardless of what input or method i use. I have tried all sorts of broken data tools .ect. before i tried flashing a Stock Rom onto the device, as i have lots of pictures on the phone i seriously don't want to lose.
I tried installing TWRP onto the phone, no luck as it couldnt boot into recovery mode regardless of what i tried. It will just display the Samsung logo still. I've now tried to flash stock firmware onto the device using Odin which gave me a "FAIL!", "complete(write) operation failed". I've tried flashing a recovery.tar file as it's been suggested, as well as things like firewall and Usb cables but nothing seems to work. Literally nothing. Seems that being unable to get the phone into recovery mode at any point is the sole issues of all of these fixes.
Maybe someone with better knowledge can advise. I'm not bothered what happens to the phone, the photos/data on it are far more important but running out of hope to be honest.
