I have no idea wat to do heeelp!!! - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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] Freezes during ODIN?

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?

I hate to say it but it sounds like it might be a brick.
Are you getting the flashing blue light with a blank screen when you try to boot our are you getting a boot loop? Are you able to boot into Recovery?
no it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again. " i cant boot into recovery, i can into dl mode. ima try a different comp.

If you're getting that message I can tell you its not going to work. It sounds like you were trying to flash the international version kernel for the SGSII rather than the Epic 4G Touch. When you try to flash the international version it will fail and gives you the error you're getting. Another unfortunate side-effect is that it ruins your USB (due to differences in the way the USB works). I've heard that some JTAG services can fix it but I haven't done it myself.
At this point you unfortunately are stuck with a brick. :-(
Sorry!
I might have misunderstood the other posts but I thought flashing the international version completely disabled the USB port. Yet OP seems that device is being picked up in Windows but not successfully installed.
OP, can you please confirm? Check Device Manager and look for a device with a yellow exclamation point or triangle (if Win). If you can see it here you may just need to reinstall the Samsung drivers and get it installed that way. At the worst you're not any further along than you were before...
Alternatively you could try updating the driver manually, search C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG to see if it picks up.
If you haven't done so already, uninstall Kies and download the full Samsung driver suite from here:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Install the driver and maybe we can help you from there. Or if it works, there ya go.
I just went through this...what happened on my end:
-computer froze up while i was doing stock odin repack
-went to boot up phone and that messaged flashed
what i did:
-flashed stock el26 kernel(if you can't get into odin but pull the battery and keep trying..thats what i did)
-flash a rom like you normally would
PROFIT!

unrooting T-Mobile T989

I have done this before. But now for some reason Odin won't find my phone. It says added. Then I load the PDA. And it fails. My phone is on download mode. I am running the latest ics official rooted and have super user. Also when I try kies it finds the phone. Finds the jb update. It downloads then I notice it says to connect a device on the background as the front window just hangs at 100%. When I try to go into download mode manually I can't get into it. Only when I use a widget to reboot into download mode. Downloaded the drivers. I also uninstalled kies. Re installed kies. Installed drivers separetly and nothing.
The phone connects and I can read my files
I'm thinking. USB drivers. Idk
Can anyone help me?
OK weird thing. I got home from work. I put the phone on download mode. Hit start on Odin and it just installed no problems. Go figure.

[Q] Help with flashing rom!!!

Hi guys. Im a noob, first post here and need some help. Be searching all day for how to load a stock rom to my device GT-N5110.
Heres the low down.
Purchased in Australia. No samsung updates applied.
Successfully rooted with framaroot.Was running framaroot for more than a month
Install busy box today in normal mode I think. I chose the safe option.
Edited build.prop product model so I could install Navigon
Navigon working fine
Now..........
Unable to change the product name back using es explorer or file expert.
Thought it would change after restart but device entered bootloop. I think busybox was the culprit. Should have looked up what its all about.
Discovered recovery mode and did factory data reset. Can access odin screen on device too.
Device boots but hangs on language selection screen
I have found and downloaded stock rom for it that I found here somehow
I tried "Mrjraider" tutorial "how to flash back to a stock rom"
but odin crashes whenever I load the rom file and it wont recognize my GN8.0
Computer runs on windows 8. Kies is up to date too. Kies reconizes device but is unable to update or anything
Was running odin 4.43 with AriesVE.ops in compatabillity win xp sp3 with administrator .
can try on a win7 computer tomorrow.
This is the name of the file its about 1.2 Gb....... N5110UEDMD1_N5110XARDMD1_HOME.tar.md5 do I need to rename this or something
There was also a .dll that was in the package, whats with that?????
be looking through this forum all day and night and cant quite find what im looking for. If what I seek is here please point me to it. Or if any one here in Brisbane, can fix it for me,What are your thoghts? PM me.
Just want my baby back working again.
when it comes to phones, Kies and Odin never play nice together, so it may be the same with these things..
get kies completely off your computer, and your tablet, reboot, and try Odin again...also try a different cable and a different USB port if at first it doesnt work properly..
will give it a bash. cheers
