Hi, im on the DK28 version of froyo, i cant update to ec05 because the phone will no longer mount to any pc, i have tried multiple pc's and multiple cords and cannot get the phone to mount.
When i try to flash the an update.zip other than the dk28 version i get errors. The phone used to have root but when i reflashed DK28 thinking it would fix the sd card issue, i lost root. I cant 0ne click it, i cant odin a rom. It left the Superuser application behind (Which I cant uninstall). Also I tried a wipe data/factory. When i try updating to EC05 i was getting an error 2. Basically im completely stuck on DK28.
At the very least i need to get the superuser application off the phone so i can return it since i believe the mounting issue is a hardware failure.
Does anyone have an update.zip that will not give me a signature error? Or have something i can try to get this fixed enough to return it to sprint.
I am on my phone so can't search for you right now but you are looking for that Samsung.exe file whichb was an Odin-like executable with EB13 stock files. I can look tonight if someone doesn't give you a link before then.

That sounds like i would have to run the file from a pc, which at the moment, no pc is seeing this phone in either download mode nor via odin, one click or just plain ole mounting.

Unfortunatly ive tried 3 different cables as well as different computers and different usb ports on each one of them. What i need is a Non-pc involved solution for this. I can live without mounting the phone to the pc, if i could just get upgraded to Sprints official EC05 rom. I know it has its problems, but at least it wont lock me out of ota like DK28 has, and then i can at least take the phone bak to the store at my liesure.
Have you tried removing and reinserting the SD card? When you 3 finger the phone you only get stock recovery? Does the charge light come on with the data cable in the USB port?

Have you tried toggling the USB debugging mode? Also try download mode (power on holding "1" key) then see if Odin recognizes your phone.

yes to both. odin does not see the phone. Im certain that its a hardware problem at this point, which is why im looking for an update zip i can manually put on the card that will let me flash ec05 on to the phone and erase super user. at the very least i want to remove super user.

I thought the sd cards won't mount? If they do then it will have to be a signed update zip that doesn't check for the stock apps and previous modem version.

Im Sorry i should have clarified this. The phone can see the SD cards just fine..Internally. But when i connect a cable (any cable, i have 4) to the pc (any pc, i tried on 3 dif pc's one xp, two windows 7), i cannot see the cards from the PC, odin does not see the phone, etc, basically interfacing between the 2 is nil. I am currently taking the micro sd card out of the phone, putting it into a usb adaptor and copying files to it from the pc that way, then returning the card to the phone in order to try to update it. My problem is, i need a Rom that will update without trying to verify the signature since it thinks my phone is rooted, even though it isnt anymore. At this point i wouldnt even mind a wipe since i did that yesterday anyway, just going back to DK28 Stock. Problem with Dk28 is it doesnt allow the OTA of Ec05 to come in.

Look further in the thread to see if someone put up a signed version. Amend2edify will create a signed zip, it may convert the one you downloaded. I found that thread by googling "update.zip for dk28 samsung epic" there were a lot more results I didn't check out.

Ok, my phone was getting low on battery and started going haywire. I charged and reflashed the rom but now my phone wont sync with my comp after trying numerous things. It was the truly epic rebirth rom.
Any idea what might have happened? I tred different usb cables, rebooting drivers but nothing. The phone still charges but no syncing. Is there a internal driver in the phone that syncs the phone that might have been corrupted?
BTW I posted this to impalers747 Q/A thread but we seemed to be stumped to. Thanks for tryin yogi and impaler747 but I figure more people might see this if I make a thread and someone might of had a similar issue.
Odin back to DK28 and reflash the ROM. There might be another way, but that is what I would do.

I haven't done this, but you should be able to use CW to flash your phone back to the stock ROM and then go from there. Here is a link for an older thread that discussed it and has links to the stock ROM. I am hoping you can get into CW, and if you can you should be able to flash from your sd card

You still should be able to. I think this would fix your problem. And you can always use CW to get back to a rooted DK28 instead of using one click root. Or, if you haven't already tried, you could wipe and try a different ROM. The sync could just be a DK28 issue and a different ROM might have what makes it work.

I had a problem with connecting my device to my laptop. My laptop would never see my phone but odin was still able to see it with some playing around. This happened to me on di18. In order for me to get back to dk28 I had to odin the extended tar so I had root and everything.
Before trying to odin I cleaned out the micro usb port on the phone with a q-tip tabed in rubing achole. I even switched to my girls blackberry charger. I no longer have issues even when using my samsung cable but I try to use either my evo or her blackberry cable. Before doing any of this I suggest uninstalling and re-installing the proper drivers.

based on post 9 I would just
1: flash the dk18 modem?
2: then flash the stock rom?
3. remove cwm?
does that make sense?
I mean I would want to keep cwm till the end just incase something goes haywire and I can restore

What ext4 script? Stock di18 and stock dk28 don't have ext4. So if you are on plain jane dk28, then you aren't on ext4. And if you are going to di18, you aren't converting to ext4.
I had ext4 script otherwise i wouldnt been able to install those new roms before the update. Im not sure what to do from here now since I'm back to stock backup and rom manager doesnt work for ****

Before Odin can detect it you must first make sure your computer can detect your phone. That way you'll know if the drivers work fine. If it does then get a new USB cable to connect it while using odin. I got a rocketfish usb cable and it works better than the samsung one...or any usb cable such as a blackberry's works fine.

When trying to root make sure you aren't using a stock samsung usb cable. Some have been successful using them while rooting but for most it sucks. Are you enabling usb debugging?
I am having the same problem. Gingerbreak failed to run with the same error, and no amount of different cable or port (tried three of each) will avoid the phone not connected message when attempting one click root. I'd love to hear ideas to resolve either of these or other rooting options.
Update - tried the Bonsai unlocker mentioned in this thread, and tried the one click method on a second machine to which I had never connected my device. In all cases, got a phone connection failure. And yes, I have enabled USB debugging, and when I disable it, I am able to mount the phone just fine and see the external memory card, so there's nothing wrong with the USB port or cable. I have a relatively new replacement phone that came preloaded with Froyo. Maybe something has been done to newer devices to disable this ability? Can't imagine what else could be wrong.
thanks,

My bad - apparently I didn't have the right drivers installed. I assumed since I could connect in USB mode without debugging I had the right drivers, but apparently not. Sorry to bother. In case anyone else runs into this, I apparently can't post a URL to help you, so go look for a post on the Epic "All Things Root" forum on Android Forums,
It appears I am successfully rooted after having to reboot the phone once after a failure the first time I ran. Woohoo! Now I can do a true full backup.
-- robert
The only way I could get mine to work (I would get the same errors using gingerbreak) I restored the phone to factory settings using the samsung recovery mode. Press power volume down and camera button. Your volume buttons are used to highlight the text and the home key is used to select. Wipe cache 3 times, and wipe the dalvick (spelled wrong) 3 times, then reset phone back to factory settings through here. Remember you will lose everything so back up your apps using AppBrain. I ran GingerBreak again and it worked perfectly. I would also get the same errors when trying to odin. Its been that way everysince I updated to 2.2. By the way I am EC05, did that before I updated because I was running midNight Rom.

I was angry at my current rom which was on MTD so i decided just to you the old samsung "phone flash utility" (Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe) that was uploaded on their site like a year ago to go back to stock. well i think since the phone was MTD it didnt work and now its stock at the connect cable screen, is there anything i can do?
I am running CleanGB MTD. The first time I tried to install it I had a bad download & needed to redo it from scratch. I used the Samsung EB13 Windows Installer utility to restore my phone back to stock & had no problems at all. It was up & running on MTD just had a few errors that I did not have time to fix that morning & I ran it for a few days after restoring with the utility, rooting, & restoring my backup. But now I'm enjoying the MTD goodness.....
Can you get back into download mode?
If so I would get a different USB cable & try running the installer again.

I found out what the problem was. I should have known this because this happened to me once before. I was using my front USB ports. Front ports on most pc's are only 1.0 and you need to use the back 2.0 ones to work. Most people think its cable issues but its usually just USB port.

So my friend gave me his phone to see if I could fix it. It loops in CWM and won't get out of it and I can't connect with odin to it. (My phone connects just fine.) This is the only other thing I can think of. Anyone else got other ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------
Well tried it and phone still not discovered by the PC. I am at a loss at what to do. I know my friend tried to install some type of rom to it and didn't make a backup. It boots in to CWM non-stop and I can flash zips but it never leaves that loop even after the flashes. I can boot into Download mode but the phone won't be recognized. Tried both Odin and this. The phone is getting charged through the cable though which confuses me even more. Any help?!

Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Then also try Odin with the battery and phone plugged in. Make sure you use a better cable than stock.
So, I had a rooted, stock install of ICS (FF18) as well as AGAT. I decided I wanted to try out Cyanogen, so after trying unsuccessfully for a number of hours, I discovered Resurrection Remix, installed it, and it was working great. Only problem is, I had no base band and could not connect to my cell network or use WiFi. I tried installing it a few more times with different modems and none worked, so I flashed back to FF18 and got that all set back up. I read somewhere that you should try using a stock JB install before installing RR, so I flashed a JB ROM, and had the same issues with no working modem/baseband. So now I decided to just give up and go back to ICS, but I'm having an issue doing that. My USB does not function at all. It charges, but does not show up on my computer, nor can I ODIN it. I've tried all the tricks on here (Re-installing drivers, different cable/computer, *#7284) and it still will not work. I can't exactly reflash it without ODIN or CWM, and am at a loss as to what to do. Thanks for any help.
I should mention that this JB ROM is rooted, but I can't seem to access anything on my SD card, so transferring files seems to be out of the question.
I'm not familiar with this resurrection remix rom. I did a quick google search and it appears to be for other versions of galaxy s2. You cant use a rom from any other model device with Epic 4g Touch. Im amazed it booted.
Exactly what JB rom are you running? There is always bluetooth to transfer files and mobile odin to flash a new kernel.
oh no. the s2 is NOT the epic 4g touch!
You can try to use mobile odin to reflash a epic 4g touch rom. Cyanogenmod would work fine if you used the rom for your phone located on xda and not on the get.cm site...

I would do that but I have no other Bluetooth devices to transfer with (Excapt maybe I can borrow a friend's iPhone) and for whatever reason it's not mounting the SD card. I'm thinking the USB drive simply died, because the first few times I booted into the RR rom, everything worked, other than the radio of course.

That was the plan, but like I said, I can't seem to mount an SD card either. Is there any way of getting files on there at this point other than bluetooth? I know I have root and I've got the FF18 Odin rom still, so I guess all I really need is a way to get that and Mobile Odin on there, which is of course, the real problem here.
EDIT: I should also mention that CWM is no longer on there since it's a stock ROM. All I have is root.
your options are wifi, usb, sdcard, bluetooth, 3g... so if none are working then just bluetooth which will be challenging in itself. I think you'll neef to rename the files to things like .jpeg for bluetooth to transfer them. good luck.

I'll borrow a friend's phone tomorrow and give that a shot.
Buy a usb bluetooth adapter and use a pc. They can be found at any store that sells pc accessories for a few bucks. Also many new laptops have built in bluetooth.
In the future only download roms from here

I actually have one, but I couldn't manage to get it working (It's really old, newest drivers are for Vista).
Can you get to dl mode? If so try stock EL29 one click exe. Probably won't work, but it's worth a try good luck

Yes, however, it won't connect to Odin, which leads me to believe the USB is simply fried. It was being a bit unstable all week now that I think about it.
Also Bluetooth didn't work. I guess that part is borked as well.

Possibly done then. By flashing a Rom that was not for the phone, it's looking in the wrong place for the usb.
if you can get the files on your phone (mobile odin, mobile odin kernel flasher, a e4gt rom) you may be able to fix it... but you have to either get them on there or have a working usb to use pc odin.
also try a different usb cable and usb ports on the pc.
if all else fails your sending it off for jtag.

Shouldn't Odin still work though? I thought download mode was independent of the ROM.

he replaced the bootloader with a s3 bootloader
Now my next question, will MDPA actually replace it since I have insurance (Probably not) or should I just go ahead and mail it in to MobileTechVideos?

I just inherited a t-mobile phone that was rooted. I installed the latest version of TWRP and tried to re-root it but now it's in a boot loop and on top of that I can't connect the phone to a computer b/c I get the "USB Device Not Recognized" message. I've re-installed the drivers and I've tried the toothpick trick. Nothing is working. What are my options?

First wrong section...second I'd say flash a different Rom/kernel pair... or redo your recovery from Odin

First, I believe this is the correct section - the phone I am working with is a T-Mobile Galaxy S II... Second, I can't Odin because I don't have a working usb connection. I've tried several different ROMS from this fine section and I get the same result... Boot Loop
If you flashed TWRP 2.6.3, that's your problem.
Flash 2.6.1
This is the wrong section because it has nothing to do with ROM development.
With that being said if you can still boot into twrp you still have hope. Try loading a different ROM into an SD card using a converter and slide back in the phone to properly wipe first then re flash.
I don't understand why you can't get a proper USB connection going but above suggestion may solve it.

You could always get a SD card reader, connect t to ur PC, DL a flashable twrp 2.6.1.0 and flash the recovery, then flash a ROM an u should be back in action, but above mentioned is right this is the wrong forum u need q&a

Just to confirm a few things: where do you not have the working USB connection? in download mode? If so, I'd try reinstalling the drivers.
Also, I see in your sig that you state your phones are:
Asus Nexus 7
Sprint Galaxy Note 2
Neither of which is a SGH-T989. Are you sure you are flashing the correct ROM/Kernel for your device?
also you said it came rooted but you re-rooted it. What process did you use to re-root it?
One last thing: you say you got it second hand, are you sure it is a T-Mobile galaxy S 2? May want to check under the battery for a "T989" or "i9100". The i9100 is NOT a T-Mobile galaxy S 2. It should be SGH-T989 if they didn't give you incorect info about the phone.
You could also try a different USB cable or hub. I've had USB extension cables give me grief and the front ports on my PC don't like my phone.

Thanks for your help. Here are the answers to your questions:
I think there is something wrong with the micro USB input on the phone. I have reinstalled the drivers several times. I have tried different cables and different computers. I even tried the toothpick trick. No luck.
I do have a GN2. The SG2 is for my daughter...
It is a genuine SGH-T989 I checked under the battery.

Everything I've found requires a computer connection. I need to be able to flash it back from v2.6.3.1 using TWRP to do it. Is that possible?

One more piece of information that might be helpful... When I try to wipe the cache I get this message "Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function" and it stays stuck there. I've left it for over 30 minutes and it doesn't ever move from that screen. Hope that helps... I really need some help here.

If u go to the dev section on this phone and look around a bit, u will find the twrp thread, in that thread is a flashabke copy of 2.6.1.0, if u can't find it pm me, I have a copy, all u would need to do is put the zip file on any micro SD card then put it in the phone and flash it with the twrp u have now, it will revert it back to 2.6.1.0 and that should fix ur prob, but like I said of u can't find it pm me and I'll shoot u a copy

Let it sit on the TeamWin screen for a minute or so... I find it sometimes takes a little bit.
If it doesn't ever get past there, try hooking it up to a PC and see if you can get ADB to load (presuming you have ADB installed and ADB drivers installed). If you can, try to do an "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" and a "adb logcat > logcat.txt" and zip those up and toss them on here.
If you CAN'T get into adb, I would try hooking the phone up to Kies and see if it will do anything for you.
Or you could try following this guide as you have the T-Mobile SGH-T989 (not the Telus SGH-T989D):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
BUT make sure to grab the correct stock image file for whatever version your android currently is (ie if you are on Android 2.3.6, then make sure to get the T-mobile KL1 2.3.6 stock image).
Also, what ROM did you flash? was it a 4.3 ROM? If so, did you update your radio before you flashed the ROM? I think 4.1+ needs the updated radio to function properly.
I know you said you can't connect through ODIN, but I'm hoping it is because of some odd driver or odd ODIN version. That thread has the stuff to make it all work I believe.
I'm really hoping you can get ADB to work. If you can pull a logcat of your bootup process, it will be much easier to figure out what went wrong.

You guys are great!!! I really appreciate all the help. No matter what I do, ADB, Kies, different cables, different computers, nothing gets past the "USB Device Not Recognized" pop up. I let it sit for 15 minutes, twice. Still no love... I loaded TWRP_2.6.1.0_Hercules and then reboot and that's when it got stuck. Prior to that I had loaded TMobileT989UVMC6RootedDeodexed Rom. I forget where I got it. I'm pretty sure it was a 4.1.2 based rom.

weird... I am not sure why it is being so fussy with your phone.
Hopefully somebody has a better suggestion than I do, but my next thought is to try ebay-ing the phone in hopes that somebody gives you a few bucks for it. It sounds to me like the internal memory module is dying and the USB port is shot.
Is your water damage sticker pink/red or missing? It should be under the battery.
I hate thinking that the phone is just dead, but without being able to connect it to the PC in either recovery or download mode and not being able to boot into a ROM or recovery, I think the next step is to scrap it and hope somebody can send you a few bucks... or if you have experience soldering, maybe try replacing the USB connector?
I could be wrong mind you... The only time I had issues like that it was due to a badly flashed recovery and I needed to use ODIN to get back up and running. As a thought, do you have a Windows XP 32-bit computer you could try plugging the phone into? And while the phone is plugged in, can you check device manager for all devices? maybe try installing the drivers manually? I suggest windows XP 32bit because that is what I use the majority of the time with my phone. I've also used Windows 7 64-bit and it worked.

Thanks again for your time and suggestions... I've always been very impressed with the xda community. I actually got this phone, used, from Swappa. And I am in the process of returning it for a refund. But the seller is being difficult and is trying to stick me with the phone. I was just trying to salvage it on my own, just in case... Thanks again.

that sucks. I've heard good things about Swappa, but living in Canada I can't use it. My opinion it sounds like you got a dud and based on how hard the guy is fighting to not give you a refund, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew it was doa and just fluked out and get it running before he sold it. Or maybe it got water damaged and he knew it would fail soon so he sold it before it completely quit.
I hope you get it all sorted out.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
