Please Help Me Right Away..Please

Hello and thank you for looking at this, i have an epic unrooted that i updated to 2.2 with an update.zip. My epic usb is broken and i need to exchange it and they won't take it with 2.2 on it. I need an update.zip that puts my epic back to 2.1 stock. I need to be able to put it on my sd card and update through recovery. Like i said i don't have root. Please help me! Thank you in advance.

Theres a thread about how to return your phone to stock with odin, also check the wiki. Your best bet is to flash through odin to di18, our dg27, either works...

You can root your phone without usb. z4root does work for the epic.

Search for the APk for z4root. Then dl it and install it. Open the app and click root.

this is the factory update zip. I copied a long time ago... This is a long shot but here it is, hope it work. ( I've never tried it )
View attachment update.zip

seems very small to revert me back to stock.
update..didn't work..thanks anyways.....i can't believe there isn't an update.zip for returning to stock without root........found like 100 evo stocks ones......frustrated..

This Tread may be your savior...Good luck

Oh also you might need to change the the file name to update in order to flash it in the stock recovery.

I did this when I first went to FROYO ( forgot who's post I got it from) If you have the factory ROM just rename name it... update.zip and try that, it worth a shot

i gave him that link earlier
he doesnt have clockwork installed

Easy fix man, break a battery pin off so the phone doesn't power on, and take it back saying it just died. They won't be able to boot it to check the rom at that time and should in store replace it with a refurb. I have done this once, when they didn't want to replace mine for screen wobble.

You could also intentionally flash a file that shouldn't have be flashed, to stick the phone at the boot logo.
Without being able to boot, they cannot reveal what rom is 'running'

Just get a 12-24VAC power brick, like one used on a sprinkler timer. Drag the 2 bare leads from the output around the contacts on the back of the phone for battery, sdcard, antennas, etc... It'll roast the **** out of everything inside of the phone. They'll never know what ROM was on it after that.

Did you say that Odin recognize your phone or doesn't recognize it? If Odin recognize your phone then your definitely in luck.

Now you have to get the original unrooted factory rom .tar file and restore your phone back to factory. Your phone is just soft bricked so you are very lucky. Use google or the xda search feature and look up something along the lines of "SGH-T989 .tar file" or "T-Mobile Galaxy S II tar". The exact file you need is floating around here somewhere.

r u talking about the sgh-t989-stock-recovery.tar? i have tried that but get stuck on setupconnection

There is no stock rom tar file for our phone yet. We only have a kernel and stock recovery tar.
You can't get into recovery?
This phone is a BEAST!

what is the proper way to get into recovery. my phone wont do jack right now.

Honestly I haven't done this yet with the GS2, but I've done it a million times with a Vibrant I once owned. I'm gonna look it up right now and see what I find. This should be a pretty easy process. The best part is that at least your phone isn't completely bricked.

First do a battery pull, then put the battery back into the phone, hold both the up and down volume rocker and press the power button till the phone vibrates (letting you know its been turned on), soon as the phone vibrate then release the power button but do not let go of the volume rocker until you see the recovery image! Once you see the recovery image you are easily back in business. Let me know if you can at least get into recovery.

btw guys i backed up my stock rom with nandroid.md5

What ROM did you guys install? Few questions. Did you guys install Samsung drivers. If not install through kies or from the development section here and reboot computer. Then put in download mode and wait for comp. to recognize phone again. try entering recovery and flash a basic stock ROM from dev section. See if that works.

[Q] Stuck on the universe v0.2 fk23 jellyverse welcome screen

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am not a complete noob I had a Motorola Triumph I flashed dozens of roms and never bricked it or anything. I have an epic 4g touch, of course, and it was running the Blu Kuban rom , I think 1.5.1 or something, the one beofre the latest update. So i wanted to try the 'Jellyverse" fk23 since I loved the ICS Universe rom, great battery life, better than the kubans. I flashed the rom first with the recovery the blu kuban had, and then I dont know why i flashed an acs fk23 recovery, I didnt read the instructions right, dont know what i did there. Phone boots, and stays on welcome screen, nothing more.
Yes, I have tried Odin, phone isn't recognized. Have tried two pcs, reinstalling drivers, 3 different usb cables, and odin cant recognize it.
or the pc for that matter.Phone does get in android system recovery 3e, and does read sd card.tried flashing ff18 update and get signature not valid etc. Forgot to mention the usb port may be defective cause it did get wet with milk a bit the other day, i dired it but left it on most of that day anyway, but it still charges.
What can i do? I went to best buy but I am scared they will notice what happened, the welcome screen is obviously jellybean...
How can i save this phone? adb, fatboot? Sorry I am a noob when it comes to these things i Just mentioned. And sorry in advance if this was posted somewhere else. I am really grateful to all epic 4g touch devs, they make awesome roms. I know its my fault, etc, I just want to know if theres anyway i can revert to stock anything or get it working, or if i have to jtag it, or I will just have to travel 2 hours to visit my sister who works at best buy and ask her to play dumb that the phone is rooted and replace it with the best buy insurnace i have.

did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed?

Your best chance is to flash the recommended recovery kernel via Odin then reflash the ROM.

yea that's what I do. and I would just try going into recovery and see if there is a backup you can restore.

Is there anyway I can restore a nandroid with stock recovery (3e it says), and can it be from another e4gt? ANy of you have one I can use? Sorry if its noob question. or anyway i can save this phone without odin or a custom recovery? Can I flash a kernel on stock recovery?

Use Mobile Odin....Flash EL26 found here https://www.dropbox.com/s/f83s6y8wsnzqjau/EL26_StockCWM.tar.md5 (I will link to original in a little bit) ...Then reboot phone into custom recovery (power button and vol up until phone reboots)...Ohh wait, your stuck in a bootloop?? You're definitely going to need to utilize Odin on the PC to get out of it
Edit: Follow the instructions here.....Have you tried a One-Click odin? If your PC won't recognize the phone...restart everything. Try a different USB port, make sure your drivers are installed. I can't think of any other troubleshooting steps.....Maybe a different computer?

[Q] Root question

Okay so my dumbass rooted my phone and didn't select a recovery menu >_> wasn't planning on installing anything because everytime i have my phone ends up running crappy even after going back to stock. anyway i just found out that there is a multi window mod but i have to flash it and a rom (Thanks to the guys who made them) do i have to flash to stock then go and re root or can i just run the root program again and this time select a recovery?

You didn't puy any recovery on? So that means you still have the stock one? If not I would say to go through ODIN and flash the phone back to stock, then re-root with TWRP. One of the devs here have a 1 click exe to recover stock through ODIN (saved my ass last night when I wiped the rom AND my recovery folder )

Oh god lol Can you link me to that real fast im helping my sister or would track it down. I didn't flash a recovery because i wasn't going to use a rom but found i need to have a recovery to flash the multiwindow mod... I guess back to stock i go even tho i'm already rooted bahaha

I did this last night.

Download the exe. Put the phone in ODIN. Once the exe is running, plug in the USB and his start. About 20 minutes and you'll have a clean, stock rom on there. You'll need to re-root once done.

I'm rooted and running stock right now. Waiting for something that works across the board for me. But I do like to try everything that comes out Also apps like Lucky Patcher need it and I installed the DPS audio manager.
Of course, as soon as CM10 starts rocking the BT streaming I'll be a downloading.

When I first rooted for some reason I couldnt get a custom recovery to stick. I tried multiple times with no luck so eventually I just downloaded goo manager and installed custom recovery script that way. Worked like a charm. Maybe you should try that. Would save a lot of time and effort.

That's because the file on stock roms called /system/recovery-from-boot.p will re-install the stock recovery at every boot. So the trick is to boot straight into recovery and delete that file. Or, flash the Superuser.zip in recovery, boot Android, use an app to delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p, then flash a custom recovery again and you'll be fine.

With superuser there is a permanent unroot feature built in. Just click it and it will remove superuser.apk and SU binary file.
