[Q] Freezes during ODIN? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, well here's what happened. I was trying to flash Bonsai4All 2.0 and when it was finished the phone booted up, and it would vibrate once, then twice really fast and reboot. And it would do that over and over again even after I restored a backup.
So I tried to ODIN back to stock DK28, well I can't get ODIN to recgnoize my phone? I have the drivers installed. But every now and then it connects
But! When I start ODIN it will began and then during factoryfs, the phone screen would either turn blue. green, or pink. So my question is what can I do?
Also I have no insurance, and I've tried flashing with the pit and without it. And with ODIN 1.61 and 1.0. I've tried every port on the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT; also running Win 7, 64 bit

I've had similar issues flashing with Odin on win7 64bit, it seems to be hit and miss for me. luckily I have a 32bit winxp on my netbook which has never failed with Odin.
You could try setting up XP virtualized on your machine, or use a friend's comp to flash your phone, or even a library if its not too sketchy.

Thanks for the reply, but I solved the problem. I read some where that the front USB ports aren't good enough for what our Epics need. So I uninstalled the the drivers, re-installed the drivers, and then connect my Epic to the back port of my computer. And just like that a pop-up showed saying it was installing the drivers and they all succeeded. And ODIN finally worked! I think i'm going to stay stock for awhile though

[q] please!! Anyone!!...

Hello , i ran the EB13 exe that was on the samsung website but it froze halfway thru.
then i tried to ODIN back to DI18 but it kept freezing after about three hours it went thu then i flashed the "update.zip" to get to EB13 which worked but it was very unstable for me so i decided to use ODIN and the EB13 tar file.
well its been seven hours of redownloading the Tar files reinstalling drivers , diffrent usb ports and still nothing.
i can only get into Download mode but ODIN just freezes everytime same with the exe i've tried on both my computers nothing has worked.
i install the drivers and the computer recognizes the phone but ODIN always seems to freeze along with the exe any ideas on why?
i don't believe im "rooted" because i was able to ODIN EB13 but it never got passed the samsung boot so im not worried about taking it into a sprint store but that won't be possible until late tommorow can someone PLEASE HELP??
I will be forever grateful

Try again, removing the battery from the device for at least 5 minutes. Press the power button, and hold it for a few seconds, with the battery out. Reboot your computer prior to continuing, insert the battery, then try the flash procedure again, in the download mode, with DI18. Worked for me. Good luck!
Thank you , but no luck yet that didn't even work 8(
getting desperate now

Hmmm... Try an older version of Odin. Maybe the version that was around at the time of DI18. I'm all out of suggestions after this. Again, good luck!
Are you using a USB port directly on the back of the motherboard?
Have you successfully used odin in the past with this pc?

Stuck recovery

I was preparing to flash the stock EC05 rom with odin and did a full wipe of everything. But it seems I can't get odin to recognize the phone is plugged in (I can get to download mode, but it never shows up in Odin).
Not I'm stuck in recovery with no backup, and can't do anything.
I also can't get windows7 or adb to recognize the device.
I have the drivers I used when rooting the phone, and they don't seem to work.
Windows says "usb device not reconized... the device has malfunctioned" etc.
I have tried many cables and many computers, and nothing seems to work.
My last resort is to buy yet another cable, one recommended in another thread, but I have already bought a few cables designed for this phone, blackberry, and one just for data.
Is there anything I could flash from recovery to at least allow me to boot?

Have you tried downloading the drivers fresh from Samsung? How about different USB ports? Sounds like bad drivers though. The first time I used Odin, Windows used the drivers I installed plus got some others from Windows update. Took about 10 minutes for it to find my phone.
Which version of Clockwork are you on? If not stock you can go here and flash the EC05 stock ROMS:

Classic sign of bad drivers or a bad cable. Don't waste your time on the stock cable - get another, and plug it into a different port. Reinstall the drivers if you need to.

I have no idea wat to do heeelp!!!

Here is my problem. It all started a few days ago. My phone's drivers on the computer got all messed up. I reinstalled it and thought nothing of it. Today I was guna flash a new rom on. I odin my phone to do a clean install. Then i rooted it to ext4. (After the fact i realized i had clicked the wrong file and loaded di18) However then my bro wanted to use my computer for his epic to odin it too. So i can't load my phone cause its in ext4. I can't fix the drivers because its in download mode and can't get into regular mode. And I can't odin it back because odin wont' recognize it because of my drivers. Its a circle of pain. Is there anything I can do?
After thinking about it will loading a di18 ext4 rom work to fix it?
Reinstall the drivers. And odin ec05 pre rooted. If ur in download mode its fine. Just delete the drivers reboot your pc re install the drivers put your phone into download mode and connect too your usb cable. Your phone doesn't have too be in "regular" mode as you callled it
There aren't any DI18 EXT4 roms. There isn't any EXT4 support for Eclair.
Redownload the Drivers then run ODIN. Install one of the pre rooted .tars.
http://www.multiupload.com/A9VPX4G2ZW here's the ec05 ext4 pre rooted tar
driver
i already redownloaded drivers it kept on not installing saying failing to install.
Ok download the link I gave u for ec05 tar. Put the tar in pda. Make sure u have the pit file selected as well.
And when u open odin. If your phone connects it'll be a yellow box saying com whatever could be com 6 or com 8. Also only have auto reboot checked nothing else
Sounds like your not using odin properly. Here Is a video showing you exactly what too do.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU

Uninstall the drivers first and reboot.
fixed but new issue
I managed to. Fix it by using another computer and my dads phone to install drivers. Btw I already knew how to get in dl mode use odin root flash roms and all of that. My problem came from the fact thatb odin didn't recognize my phone in dl mode on my main computer. Now onto my new issue. Last night after I fixed the phone I had a small pinl blotch on the topleft o my phone. Now the blotch. Has spread to my whole phone along with blue and purple dots almost like its leaking. Is the lcd broken? Any ideas?
Ditch odin and learn to use heimdall
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
best way to fix this is to uninstall the usb root hubs in the device manager and reboot. that's for the driver issue...

[Q] The strangest BIGGEST problem

Hi All,
Device = GT-N7100
Been flashing my note 2 with several roms for ages now. However today decided I might try abit of STOCK 4.3. So went to Sammobile and downloaded UK BTU.
Flashed the file fine using ODIN 3.9
Started setting everything up and noticed the phone went to sleep and wouldn't wake up, so decided to clear cache and full data reset using the stock recovery.
Anyway started setting up wifi again etc. Left the phone and it went to sleep again and wouldn't wake up.
Then decided I will download the UK Vodafone from sammobile and see if that is any better.
So rebooted the phone into odin mode. plugged in my usb cable, noticed there was no bleeps from the pc. started odin 3.9. Nothing. No device listed.
Any way to cut a long story short, I cant side load when the phone is running I cant ADB to the phone and the only thing listed in "device manager" on my WIN 8 machine is "Android SMS" as a driver which says it is not working. I have uninstalled Samsung USB drivers gone through all the processes listed on the net.
I cannot get the phone to communicate with the PC at all. So changed computer and it automatically installed Android SMS... on the new machine.
So at the moment im stuck with GLITCHY stock firmware and cannot root / cant side load via USB or anything... HELP!!
Also I cannot enable bluetooth, so I cant send a file like that.
Ok problem solved by sheer chance. When i let the phone boot normally I was getting 7 CDC drivers.
Looked these up and found this thread. Cured the problem.

Things have gone from BAD to WORSE
Well this morning downloaded a different STOCK UK N7100 ROM. Flashed this. Everything seemed to work correctly except it has got stuck in boot loop.
Now my main issue is it has locked me out again I need for the phone to boot so I can use the dialler to *#7284# to select USB and not MODEM.
When I boot into CWM it shows that SDCARD cannot be mounted and same with DATA.
When I am CWM or DOWNLOAD mode the laptop or PC does not recognise the device. Any ideads??? JTAG??:crying:

flashing problem

So maybe a month ago I decided to upgrade to nc2 firmware and bootloader so I could use sprint port.
I used mobile odin to flash route66 and all went well until I discovered that I lost root because i didnt install properly. Not easy when your usb doesnt connect to pc! Anyways, i was finally able to root with an apk i found here and got twrp working. Good thing I made a backup. Every time I install a rom it never boots up. Looks like it just turns off. Even if I try to power on it wont do anything but vibrate once. No logo screen or anything
I have to boot to recovery and restore from there. Am I missing something? I get succsesful install but nothing happens after. I tried sprint port and likewise rom. same thing happens
Yeah sorry but that will happen when you update with mobile Odin, you need to update with PC version. Try different cable, usb ports, uninstalling kies, reinstalling drivers, even different computer
