I've followed about 10 different links to files that I'm attempting to download to de-soft brick my phone. I'm having ZERO luck. Everything is dead. I've never experienced anything like this before for the 10 or so Android phones I've owned and hacked.
I managed to find Odin 4.3, but I keep getting an invalid file error. & before you call me a noob and tell me to download it again, or change the file name. I've already done that. Several times.
Am I ****ed?
I don't know what Odin 4.3 is but...
If you can get into download mode, use Odin 1.85 and find a rom to try.

If you can't get into download mode, then I'm not sure what to do as I haven't researched brick stuff.
I'm also not sure if the dev forum is the right place for this thread.
Maybe.. if u tried almost ever thing u could to bring your phone back from a brick and its still brick than maybe its time to give up.. pay your deductible and get yourself a replacement.. U have to remember there are consequences to hacking your phone and u have to deal with it now.. Sorry

Try the thread that is titled, bring your phone back from the brink, or something like that.. as long as you have download mode, you are good to go. And odin 4.3 is not an app for our phone.. odin3 ver 1.86 i believe is the newest...

Odin 1.65 is in this thread along with stock Froyo. I had a problem with my samsung logo not showing on boot and following the instructions in this thread got rid of my problem. As others have said, if you can't get into download mode you are out of luck as far as I know.
If you can't get into download mode and have TEP, take your phone into a Corporate Owned Repair Center, give them some bull**** story where suddenly your phone wouldn't come back on, I have done this twice now and they have given me a brand new Epic every time right there on the spot.....no deductible!
U sure down look round for a person that previously have 10 different android phones smh

If you can get into download mode but, you still can't flash, then you probably have a bad cable. If you are using the stock usb cable, replace it with a quality micro usb cable and that should get you sorted. The ones that come with the phone are garbage.
I do find it a little humorous when you say not to call you a noob immediately after you pull "Odin 4.3" out of your hat. You would do well if there was a techie stand up act and your timing was just right.

Yeah man you sure are acting like a noob with the posting in development and all... not to mention odin 4... try turning everything off. Then hold 1 for like 15 seconds then press power while still holding 1. Try around with different combinations of that and it should turn on eventually. Mine did.
cd's or tapes?
Edit: too much natural light perhaps?

I was having trouble ODIN'ing my phone. It kept failing and I thought I bricked my phone because it wouldn't power on. I switched my USB port on my laptop and bam, it worked. Maybe try that (assuming you can get into download mode on your phone).
Try using another fully charged battery from a friends epic. Sometimes waiting an hour works can't tell you how many times I thought I hosed my epic or vibrant for that matter.

Odin Multi Downloader 4.03 wasn't the right tool for the job. I got it from a thread similar to mine where someone was bootlooping and needed to flash back to stock. However, the link provided in the thread that Aryander posted did the trick right away.
Thanx
Sorry for posting within the wrong section.
During an attempt to flash a rom using odin to my rooted sgs2, odin crashed and closed before it was finished. I tried restarting odin, wouldnt see phone.
Removed battery from phone, reconnected to odin and tried using the one click odin to reflash back to stock. Also tried using odin with other roms to flash back.
Heres my problem.
When i power on the phone, it says the Galazy S2 i9100 for a few seconds, then just turns off.
I can open odin, or odin one click, plug in phone, shows me yellow w/com and added. I click start, it gets to Setupconnection and then just sits there.
I have tried
- Different roms and both one click and normal odin.
- Different usb cables
- Different usb ports
- Multiple computers
Is there any way to get past this? God i hope someone can either point me somewhere or help me out.
Reinstall Samsung Kies to your laptop or pc so the proper drivers are re-installed. Once complete with that install, plug your phone into the pc and put the phone into USB mode, hopefully the pc will recognize your phone and install the NEW DEVICE drivers after a few moments. Depending on your pc, sometimes it takes many seconds for your pc to recognize and bring up the drop down menu for the newly recognized drive. BE PATIENT. If the pc does recognize your phone, start Odin again. If Odin also see's your phone, which it now should, you should see a COM:# connection in the ID:COM box of Odin. Doesn't matter what COM # is, as long as something is there. You can now use Odin because it see's your phone. Once you start Odin flashing, make sure not to disconnect anything until you see the upper left GREEN PASS box in Odin. Once its GREEN with PASS in that box, you're finished. You can d/c your phone from the pc and the phone is probably rebooting anyway.
OFC, if your phone will not stay power'd up, all of the above is for nought. Wish I could be more helpful.
Keep in mind that I do not intend to insult intelligence but everyone has limits in experience and I always try to explain in the simplest way I can. No disrespect intended.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply,
How am i supposed to put the phone in usb mode when i cant boot it?
That does create a problem, I would do some research on a USB Jig for your phone. Search at eBay for: Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch USB Jig
I'm not sure if this will help a phone that will not power up but it does have its uses for Root'd phone especially using Odin to flash and to remover that nasty YELLOW Triangle that comes from ROOT ROMS that are unsign'd.
Wish I could help you further.

It does power on, basically shows the sgs boot logo (black backgroud w/ white text) then goes dark, but its actually still on cause it gets hot.
I can get it into download mode and i can get it into the android recovery.
Theres gotta be a way to recover with an update.zip from the android recovery via the sd card........
There you go, you have two of us saying about the same thing. Just make sure you get the correct JIG if you go that route. It's like $2.00 and arrives from China in like 2 weeks.

humm, an idling phone shouldn't get hot. That tells me you've got something going on. I think you just progress'd passed my pay grade my friend.
Heres another thing, as i mentioned in my first post.
The boot logo says i-9100....
and this is a sprint phone, isnt it a d710?
So im gussing in my late night haze i screwed myself by loading an i9100 rom/bootloader/whatever the hell that is.
Samsung calls it: I9100
Sprint calls it: SPH710
We call it: Epic 4G Touch
I see, so thats not the problem?
Im just gonna keep posting here while i mess with this incase i trigger someones mind for a fix.
(picture was here apparently i cannot post an external link yet. Was just a picture of device manager and odin sitting at SetupConnection)
The only way to get odin to see my phone, is if i open odin, put phone in download mode, plug phone in, then uninstall the com port via device manager, reinstall it. When i rescan for hardware changes, odin goes yellow as seen in the picture, i click start, then it sits at SetupConnection all day, so im guessing its losing the connection after it finds it.
My only solution here is via usb card i think, but i cant find a signed package. Cant someone just pull theirs from a stock phone? Why wouldnt that work?
Well, if you can get Odin to work, unroot to full stock with this:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ISD9AOP0
Right, getting odin to work is the real problem though i think.
Stuck at SetupConnection forever
This is super frustrating... going without a phone is impossible, work emails, texts, calls, ahhhh
..and there is no way to completely reload the entire phone using an update.zip off the sd card, one that is signed?
I know i used to do that on my droid, and all though i know this is a totally different game, i still have android recovery, one would think it would be possible if the package was signed. unsigned ones just fail, but at least i can attempt to run them from there.
If someone can find a way to do that, and it works for my phone, i will paypal $50
Let me see what I can find for ya....
I have searched two different Forums for a flashable unroot to stock with NO luck. Everything I found requires Odin. Sorry Buddy.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the i-9100 a whole different phone??? Looking at the specs and release date I would believe so. Sounds like he did an ics update for a phone that wasn't the Sph-d710 or something..

You tried flashing ICS on your phone, didn't you? B/C I'm pretty sure that's why you are seeing I9100 while booting up. If that is the case, do a search here as there are multiple people who have done this, and none of them have been able to fix it.
Sorry, your only solution is exchange at Sprint if you can, or JTAG.

does not mean he flashed ICS when you odin a kernel that is not signed ie with CWM you will get yellow triangle and it will say i9100 too ..... so does not mean he flashed ics ... if odin sees the phone on a com port he probably didnt .... try flashing a working kernel from our phone
I did attempt to flash ICS. I could find where i got it, but it was supposedly for the Epic 4G touch, aka sprint sgs2 variant.
I am a network and systems admin, i should have known better. I jumped the gun and got ahead of myself. I have rooted and put roms on the og droid, and the droid x, samsung is a different beast all together.
However, i went in to sprint the day after i did this, they looked at it, no insurance, no replacement warranty, they didnt ask me anything, and THEY determined it was a factory defect , they had me sign a sheet that said "After researching found phone to be a factory defect and the solution from SPRINT is to replace the phone. $37.41, and 22 hours later i had a brand new SGS2 in my hand.
They hadnt sent my phone in yet. I honestly am not sure if they are going to be able to tell if i did anything to it or not, i may have just hosed the bootloader enough that odin wont connect, so they probably will have to use something like jtag in house to reflash it, or replace the chip or whatever they do. Even so, if they do see that i was messing with it, and say it voided my warranty, i have a signed receipt showing my payment and agreeing to pay for the replacement at $37.41, and that THEY determined the flaw. My brother in law is a lawyer, so i asked him, because i was curious if they would look at my phone at the service center or hub or whatever, and determine it was my fault. He assured me they could try, but it would all fall back to the employee who had me sign the agreement, so even if they dont like what i did, they are beyond doing anything about it.
I doubt they will even notice it, im sure they will try to boot it, then just flash it or however they do it.
Either way, im not worried anymore.
So...someone wanna point my idiot ass to an actual good rom, with a good method, that works for my phone? lol. I cant stand touchwiz, huge icons and cant replace them ....wtf is that all about.
just bought it for $30. it worked great. so i download rom manager and flash the clockwork recovery because i am really dumb.
i think it still gets into software update or emergency mode, the screen is blank but the buttons light up and in KD500 i CAN flash a bin file to 95% but then it cuts out saying phone disconnected, as the phone reboots it just hangs on LG logo.
ive tried lgpnst but it claims at 0% MASTERBIN DOWNLOAD "NUMBER OF BAD BLOCKS EXCEED LIMIT. PLEASE REPLACE FLASH"
i have spent 16 hours now trying to fix a $30 phone. please stop me guys. either give me a solution or tell me to shove this up my... ahem nevermind
It sounds like there's something wrong with the flash memory in the phone. If that's the case then it's not really your fault, it would've gone anyway. Have you tried booting into recovery and flashing something?
By the way, you posted in the wrong forum, this belongs in Q&A

it wont go into recovery, it just pops up the LG logo and sits there
at first, right after i flashed the bad recovery, i could do the emergency boot sequence (hold backspace and vol down, insert usb). up would pop the SW update mode.
so i did that, and tried the stock LG updater, but it wouldnt keep talking. so i tried the KD500 method, and it appreared to work but thats where im at now. even if i boot into SW update mode, its just a blank screen now, but it will still connect to KD500 and seemingly flash a bin just fine. however when the phone reboots at the end it just lights up the dumb lg logo and sits there.
its just frustrating. i know its not the end of the world, just man. ugh maybe its the wrong cabs? ive tried LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab and such... 75, 70...they all do the same thing

yeah, and it seems i can get that mode to work, however i do not believe i have the right kdz.
thing is, when i try to follow the links to download the original firmware from lg, i cant get anywhere....
ill keep trying. i really think if i just had the right kdz it will work
AAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnnnnnd thats a wrap.
i finally found the right cab i think. i used an LG firmware update app found here on xda.
but i guess the firmware gods did not want this phone alive. during the update, i left for the store. came back, and my laptop wasnt charging, sending it to sleep during the update.
total brick now. no emergency mode. no lg logo. just buttons light up thats it. no communication with the pc at all.
its dead. rip little optimus.
**Update. Just bought a Sanyo Zio for $19.98 shipped off the bay. lets see how fast i can screw this one up!
ha! trying to get my droid x off ics this morning.
BRICKED as well
at least i still got the bootloader!
i forgot then when you do the ota .621 update you NEVER go back. no matter what you flash, youll always be a .621 phone. SO USE .621 CUSTOM ROMS YOU IDIOT
and youre lucky you didnt fry this droid by trying to program it with a dead battery!
sheesh! idiots! (me!) :cyclops:
OK. one last thing.
i had another droid X that has been sitting around for months. i couldnt get it out of bootloader. everything i tried made it worse. it wouldnt even take the linux sbf .621 flash that worked on my other dx's. i really thought it was toast.
but today, i ran across the signed and verified moto stock rom for .621 while i was trying to fix my everyday DX. so i said, "WTF". i flashed the old dx in windows rsd because thats supposedly supposed to flash the radio too.
well, whatever it did, IT WORKED. i am almost in tears right now. this phone is MINT. like brand new, bought it for $40 because the last guy couldnt get it to flash either.
the whole time, it just wanted a verified moto rom!
one more sbf flash to a rooted .621 rom, and bingo. i have a like new fully rooted dx!!!!!!! I cant help but brag! i spent so many hours on this thing!
I could jump through the roof right now!:good::good::good: two droid x phones for less then $80 total! just hours and hours of pulling hair too hahaha
I should have seen this before.. I know a good place for optimus s.

no i said STOP me!
guess what? i had the battery on an external charger the other day. one last time, i put it in the phone and hooked it up to my laptop. BUH BUM! it connected!
so i quick tried to flash the verified verizon rom. it seemed to take, but again it does not boot up.
HOWEVER, i do now have the S/W upgrade screen back! i dont think this phone is dead yet! its such a joke to keep trying for a $30 phone, but man it bugs me that a simple software problem is keeping this thing from being at least a good mp3 player!
edit- ive seen most of those links though. my problem is i dont have the stock recovery on this phone, and to flash that you need to adb into it... which i cant! I truly believe if i could find the right KDZ file for my phone it would work! all the links i find are for optimus V's! i have an optimus S, model US670 which is VERY hard to find roms for.
i used the LG update app found on xda here, and it downloads an SBF file. even if i change the extension to KDZ it doesnt work! file extract error every time. i need to find my KDZ for this phone and i just know it will work!
Hello everyone I have bricked my note 2 and suddenly I can't boot because it's stucked on the Samsung Logo. After i installed a font program it said that I had to reboot and then I did.
And then I was trying to recover with "recovery-cwm-6.0.1.5-N7100"
But right now it doesn't display more than Samsung galaxy note 2...
Would be awesome if you guys can help me
Well youre in luck because if it showing a Samsung logo its not bricked.
Second just flash the factory image found in the android development forum. You can do this by booting into download mode by holding the power button and home button and volume down as it boots and then use odin to flash the .tar factory image you just downloaded...its simple really. So dont panic because its entirely fixable!
Just go find a guide on how to flash factory images and youll find step by step Instructions

If you soft-bricked your phone because you messed up the fonts like me just now, you don't have to reflash the entire ROM!
Instead it's enough to just restore the fonts via one of the zip files found [URL="]http://tips4droid.com/how-to-install-jelly-bean-font-by-flashing-it-through-cwm-recovery/#.US8t2Ddc1ic"here:[/URL]
I copied the zip file to my external SD card and then used CWM Recovery to install it to my phone.
To enter CWM Recovery, press Volume UP, Home and Power Button at the same time.
Hope this is helpful!

There might be others, such as me, you know...
what i did the other day was.....
i was installing different ROMs. maybe 3 or 4 a day just to get a feel for different ones. Since i am using a t889 on NET10's ATT network, i wanted to ATTEMPT to change over my phones hardware or internal settings to pick up the ATT towers better... my phone is already unlocked for ATT, so whatever im attempting is not needed. not knowing exactly what I'm doing I confused myself a bit. I went to the GooManager recovery page and was wiping all my information so i can install another ROM. while wiping the information off my phone, i was browsing through my SD card i had in the phone and saw a modem pack i put on it. FORGETTING that i just deleted everything i went ahead and just installed the modem pack and rebooted my phone. lol it got stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXT NOTE 2 page. my MAC, PC & KIES on both weren't picking up my phone via USB. i left the phone attached to my PC and went to get dinner. came back 2 hours later and saw that my phone was connected to the computer. I ran ODIN, put a stock image of tmobiles system on the phone and had to start over with my ROM experiment.
needless to say, i was bummed thinking that i just broke such a nice phone.

which can be found here:

Thanks Mr junkie actually plugged it into the car charger and got a spark out of it put it in safe mode it started charging turn it off turn it back on and now I have a rooted device! Very happy with this how I can send back the note 5 I've been holding out from T Mobile on my jump program for 2 months lol sure came in handy today have a great New Years.
Check root checker said it was rooted then immediately went into boot loop oMG been working on it for the last 11 hours with a computer that just does not want to load the files you have told the community to download when in trouble. Anyway factory reset my computer Lenovo yoga pro 3 going to give another go at it can't really have such a beautiful phone only used as a paperweight :/ my galaxy 4 s5 and Nexus 6 rooted with a breeze still not giving up though obviously. I'll keep you posted thanks for all your help though I know I'm going in the right direction with your help.
