Help coming from DK28 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on DK28 and am having trouble getting the EB13. I am running the nebula rom with the rfs file system. I tried the samsung updater but when I click the "I agree with the terms" there is no next button just an exit. Computer will not recognize phone in download mode but will in usb mass storage so I can't figure out odin. Any suggestions or will there be a clockworkmod flashable way in the future. Thanks in advance

You need to Odin to stock DI18 first.
Are your drivers installed correctly?
Are you using a USB port directly on the back of the motherboard?
If not fix these issues and odin should see your phone.

Try flashing a kernel via ODIN. Are you on Gingerbread (EI22)? If so, download the kernel-GB-3.tar.md5 from this thread. Per the OP instructions there, put in in the PDA slot, have "reboot" be the only checked item, and give it a go.
eh17 but wont charge or load up, goes to recovery if plugged in computer thats all it will do!!

When I tried to flash CWM yesterday via ODIN on my laptop, my laptop blue screened (USB issues) right when I hit start. When I tried to turn on my phone, I got the same exact icons that you did (phone ! pc). I fixed it by reflashing the kernel via ODIN.
EI22 kernel should work just fine for EH17. You can also try and use nubecoder's kernel, which would be useful if you had a EXT4 ROM. Try to use ODIN to flash a kernel in your phone's download mode.
If this doesn't do anything, perhaps you need to ODIN a whole new ROM over. I'm on EI22 and loving it. I was using Toad's EI17 (here) before that.

Negative. I think you can set it manually, though.
thank you everyone for your help, was hoping to fix without flashing odin complete swipe and restart EC05, but nothing worked!!
So did used bricked Samsung Epic Instructions and Back Online!!!

[Q] ok i admit it i need help

basically i went to flash the eg30 official update and went into recovery and flashed it. but when i rebooted it went into recovery and nothing works. i can (vol down+power) into Odin but the computer (mac with odin ) wont recognize the phones there.
I am rooted with viper's 2.2 deodexed
on the original eg30 modem
please help or point me in the direction.
if i am being to vague in the description of what happened please ask specific questions and i will provide specific (see what had happened was..)
I am not a noob
but i am also not an expert
i have been flashing and reading since way back but samsungs and odin, ek02, eg30s and deodexed or odexed. it gets overwhelming and alot of us get lost.
I need some help
What exactly did u flash?
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
Which "official" EG30 did you update? Link please? The one that was just leaked was meant to be flashed in ODIN, not from Recovery.
As long as your phone can get recognized in download mode, you should be able to ODIN your way to safety, but are you saying your phone isn't being recognized after you go into ODIN mode?
Odin and Heimdall can be strange like that sometimes. I actually had to shutdown PC and reboot because Odin wasn't seeing my phone after I downloaded the EG30 modem. Sometimes its as simple as that. If that doesn't work, I have a few more ideas...edit..damn, you guys are quick!

i flashed the EK02_Modem.Zip
ya. i don't know what i did that made it all go haywire but i did. anyway to put some kind of update in my sd card and flash the phone that way. maybe put anther CWM in there. im technically advanced but not ninja level. im missing the idea and path on how to recover from this point

no i was just nervous and confused myself for doing something stupid. i flashed the EK02 thinking it was the EG30 update. so many damn numbers and things....basically i got twisted up. but my phone still turns on and i can get into recovery somewhat and odin. what do i do to dig out of this?
Try reflashing the EG30 modem.bin in heimdall
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381494
So you can get into recovery? If you have a rom on your sdcard do the required wipes in case and flash that. See if that gets you up and running, if you don't, mount USB storage in cwm and transfer one to sdcard(calks stock rooted ek02 or something) and flash that. The new modem in the development section is for cwm, so you can try again after you get your phone booting.
Or since the new modem is available you could odin the eg31 leaked tar(eg30 rev_5) and update modem after

E:/ Can't mount /emmc - Possible Brick?

Well...long story short, I flashed ICS but I got locked out so I had to Nandroid back to my original ROM, but some error happened and now my phone won't turn on and I can't access my internal SD card. Using Rogue Recovery, when I try to Restore, my internal SD card isn't detected and I get E:/ Can't mount /emmc. Any way to fix this? Or am I bricked? Please help ASAP
I think my entire internal SD has been fried... If anyone has information, please tell me ASAP
I would start by seeing if you can get into download mode. Sorry if you've already tried this. Otherwise, pull the battery for 10 secs and then hold the volume down button and power key until your screen enters download mode. If that works, you can then Odin back to whatever you want.
I got into Odin, but I'm not really sure what to do with it. I'm not experienced with Odin. Should I push a Kernel? a ROM? My phone won't turn on regularly so a ROM would be pointless
Read along with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
If I tried to explain it, I'd for sure leave something out and you'd really be bricked. It sounds like you're phone is fine. It sounds like you just need to download a stock ROM .tar and flash it via Odin, then re-root, etc. Good luck.
Thanks. I pushed a kernel through but I'm hesitant to take the step for flashing a whole ROM. Also, by stock, do you mean a stock rooted ROM or a blank stock ROM?
in recovery, try to mount the SD card and connect it to your computer. See if it shows up in the computer and if your files are there and you can access it.
If you follow the steps in that guide, you'll be fine. I've done it a bunch of times. I keep a couple of stock ROM .tars on my laptop in case I screw something up while flashing. If I can do it, anyone can.

It won't let me. I think my internal memory is fried. But if I can get my phone working again, I don't care about the internal memoru
I'm on my way to bed. But, I can tell you that some of the vets around here have said time after time that if you're able to get into download mode, chances are your phone will be fine if you know how to Odin back to stock. Good luck to you.

It's fine. Mine was doing the same thing with Blazer ICS.
Basically, the way ICS handles USB mount is absurd. Makes no sense.
You have to flash clockworkmod touch from a zip file.
Just follow Phantoms steps exactly, only what's in bold:
To recover recovery:
Thru Odin:
Boot into Download Mode
Open ODIN
Download and Put this in PDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390393
Flash
Thru Recovery:
Temp CWM How-To (Thanks to overstew for the concept)
1. Download CWM Touch 5.8.1.5 for Epic 4G Touch
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2. Reboot into Stock Recovery
3. "apply update from external storage"
4. Find CWM T ouch 5.8.1.5 zip file and flash it
5. Using Touch Recovery flash ICS-4-ICS v1.0 (FOR THE ICS THEME ONLY)
6. Reboot and enjoy.
Thank you very much, rde. I'm currently flashing sfhub's factory reset from Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383678)
I pray that my phone is okay, lol.

We've actually found 2 cases where this isn't true:
1) if you flash the intl ICS release (which includes the intl bootloader) This seems to disable the USB port even though you can boot into ODIN D/L mode
2) some process people were doing early on when the FB02 release first came out (not saying it is the FB09 release causing issues, just some unidentified process people were doing at that time) seems to hoars the /data partition and even ODIN repartition doesn't help. I don't want to point fingers but there seemed to be pattern of CWM Touch being involved doing restores, but that was not scientifically proven.
I've learned that no matter what happens, this file will always fill the cracks in mah heart.

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Recovery mode in Kies

New to Samsung(coming from HTC EVO3D). I was trying to install an update(from the wrong forum i9100 FACEPALM). Anyway, now I have an error message that says to use Kies recovery mode. I can't seem to connect to Kies. Someone please give me some tips. Not rooted and was not looking to root. Just want to do some sort of factory reset to get my device back to normal. Any ideas on what or how I should proceed? TIA
Since you flashed the international version your USB is disabled and if I remember correctly can only be fixed by JTAG. If you have a MicroSD card you can still flash by Mobile ODIN - but be careful doing any wipes from an ICS kernel, including any from the stock recovery. Hope that helps.
Figured it now!! flashed a gingerbread stock rom and now I'm all good!
how did you do it? i am having the same problem
You able to get into download mode? If so just download a stock GB rom and flash in Odin.

can you give a little more insight on that? i'm trying to get into download mode, but i'm stuck at a screen that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
(kies won't recognize the phone)
before i was at this screen, i was trying to use odin one-click install to get ICS onto an at&t galaxys2 i727.
any help on how i can get back into download mode, or somewhere else where i can do something, would be a big help.

[Q] Reinstall Stock Sprint Boot animation

My phone is not being read as a USB device in any computer and I wanna return my phone to sprint but I can't return it to a full stock ROM. The stock ROM I'm running is using the bootanimation with the word Android. I need to flash the bootanimation with The Sprint jingle and logo. Is there anyway I can do that?

Just restore it with Kies if you're a newbie. Or you can download the original TAR and flash that with Odin. You can restore the boot animation easier, but that won't mean you have a stock ROM.
Edit: If no computer is recognizing your phone, then check USB debugging in the settings and download the appropriate drivers on your computer.

Wha would be the kies method?. I can't use the Odin method because I've installed and reinstalled the drivers and checked and unchecked USB debugging. And my phone won't be picked up. It won't even recognize the OTG cable I got. I hope the kies method could be used as wireless.

You need to be able to still get into recovery for Kies. So that wouldn't work.
Do you still have root? Download the stock MD4 tar and mobile ODIN. You don't need a computer connection. Then flash the tar. You need an sd card though.

Yeah I still have root. I'll try that mobile ODIN. I never knew it existed.
When you connect your USB cable samsung changed the default setup on this last updated md4. When you plug it in and get the USB icon in the upper left corner pull down the notification Window click on the USB option and change the default option to MTD not camera and your computer will see your device and you can connect to Odin afterwards.
