Try re-downloading the tar.md5 file and then re-flash it through odin, you may have a bad flash or a corrupt file, either way you'll cover both possibilities by doing the above

Odin a stock Rom and it will be back to normal

I already flashed that with odin, thats what gave me the no wifi/4G issues.

actually this is better, I just realized that was a kernel only and reverting back to a stock ROM, like the one in the link would be a much better resolution for someone in your situation, hope it works out!..EDITED...really??? If this is what gave you the issues to begin with, then maybe try redownloading and reflash this file ...BTW being that this is a new account Im restrict to post 1/5mins, so thats why Im a bit late in case you're wondering

Do it again with a different cable it should work Samsungs cables are notorious for causing issues
update profile when done

Like he said re download the file and odin again. You may have had a bad download. So download it again and odin.

Just stay calm if you can get into DL mode it will be fine. HTC and BB cables work great for Odin

Thanks a bunch guys, ill try that again and report whats up. By the way, what's the "Z image" ? I see a link to download it above the .tar file?
Ok so I redownloaded and flashed the stock Kernel, still no wifi/4G. As an experiment I went back to the custon Kernel I had before and everything is working with that one. I just dont want to keep it because of the loss of service issues. This sucks .

[SOLVED] Trying to install DK28 but ODIN fail

Hi, I just have this problem trying to install DK28
ODIN gets stucked at boot.ini
I have to remove battery so I can put the phone in download mode again.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Try redownloading the file. Or download a different one. Something may be corrrupted in the one you have.
Thanks a lot!
Did you get it to work?
I would suggest clicking the re-partition check box, you might be getting stuck there if you're coming from ext4

He hasn't come back, so I'm guess his problem was really that simple.
Hi again! I did what Digi760 kindly suggest me. Tried with another file. The DI18 file and get over the stucked ODIN. The phone starto to download it ufff
Then I went again to DK28 and this time worked OK. Finally I did install TrulyEpic ROM
It was a long way till a working GPS.
Thanks!
Good to hear.
Now you should change the [Q] in your title to [SOLVED] so everyone knows there is no longer an unanswered question here.

[Q] bricked phone and broken odin

please help me, im in big doodoo... i dropped my old epic in the snow a couple of days ago and lost it. just got my brand new 100$ replacement one and decided to head straight for eb13. i ended up with cwm3.whathaveyou and then from there i ended up converting to ext4 it seems. i made the mistake of trying to reboot with the odexed stock eb13 rom. which started this downward spiral of an increasingly less functional paper weight. basically now i cant even get to cwm or stock recovery. i cant do anything except start download mode... which i assume is the only way to fix it now, however everytime i start to flash a stock update such as dg27, dk28 or eb13 they keep getting stuck. eb13 got stuck on the "boot.bin" and dg27 is currently stuck on param.lfs
i know that my own ignorance has gotten me into this mess not reading throughly, but i was hoping some of you not so ignorant geniuses could help me out of this mess. any advice on how to get odin to finish its work would be greatly appreciated.
Wrong section.
To answer your question though. You should go to the stock DI18 per the instructions on the wiki.
okay. how and where do i move it?
It should go in either Q&A or General. This is for ROM and Kernal development only. You can't move it unless you delete it and make a new thread. An admin will have to move it.
please dont make any new topics in this section. this goes in q & a. pls read rules
okay sorry. how do i delete my post?

i Was where you are two days ago heres what you can do
Make sure you cant boot into any kind of recovery.
Call sprint technical they will try to reset it for you while you're talking to them on the phone act stupid but say you were trying to upgrade to froyo with samsungs exe.
they will reset it and it shouldn't be able to get pass the samsung boot then delete everything off of your sd card.
take it into your local sprint store they will fix it for free but remember tell them you were upgrading to froyo with SAMSUNG's Software not odin.

What u can try to do is uninstall odin and re install it that might help u. Also make sure u put the tar file under PDA section and retry. Hope that works for u. I would say flash back to di18 first then see if u can get th ota

Try flashing with this:

Use the second link: Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
edit: piggy-backing on iSaint's post, yes click re-partition for this flash. When I flashed, I actually had all 3 checked (repartition, reset time and auto reboot).

I say grab the Samsung Phone Flash tool and go stock EB13 and then try again. CWM/EXT4 and EB13 stock kernel don't play together. You need a modded kernel.
Solved
Thank you all. Especially Isaint. I tried every ones suggestions and just ended up taking it into sporting and they have me my phone back and updated to eb13 within 20 minutes. Thank you guys all again for saving my life.

[Q] Possible brick? Any ideas?

Hey guys, I think I screwed up here and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem:
Basically, I had a rooted E4G Touch with a custom ROM installed. I went to install ANOTHER custom ROM THROUGH ODIN, as this previous ROM (I believe it was a Calkulin variant) did NOT have CWM recovery. During the ODIN process, something went wrong, and my computer/ODIN...basically, everything froze up while doing the MODEM portion. NOW I can't do anything.
- CWM was able to install on the thing...but it does not recognize my external SD card now. Every time I try to mount it, I get a "Error mounting /emmc".
- I'm still able to get into download mode on the phone, however the phone is not recognized on any computer I've tried. I've attempted multiple computers/USB cords and nothing picks it up.
I'm running out of ideas here. I picked up a USB jig that should be here soon, so I'm going to try that and reset the counter....which leads me to my next question: If I use that, can I take the thing back to Sprint and get a replacement? I have the insurance plan and everything, so if they won't take it back because of the custom software I guess I could always smash it or something...
Any help would be appreciated!

The ROM you flashed through ODIN was for this phone, right?
What custom ROM are you referring to that was available through ODIN?
assuming you flashed the right ROM, start with the basics..if you can get into download mode then try a simple reboot of your computer. Sometimes Odin won't recognize after it has been run

It was the CyanogenMod 9 rom that is out there right now. IN the post (I'm having trouble finding it as I'm not at that computer right now) they had an ODIN variation for people such as myself, where you were to flash that and then go back through to update it to the latest version.

I attempted this as well Went through and rebooted the computer with the phone plugged in. Rebooted with it not plugged in. Plugged the phone in with ODIN on the screen and started it up. Started it up unplugged, went into download mode on the phone, and then plugged it in. Still nothing.
And I just realized I posted this in General and not Q&A...and chance I could get this moved since I am clearly out of my mind right now?

The only odin component involved with flashing CM9 is flashing a gb kernel with a CWM recovery. I haven't seen a cm9 tar, this is why I'm confused. Finding out exactly what you flashed will help in understanding what the problem is.
To flash cm9 you need to odin a gb cwm kernel and then boot to recovery and install cm9. However, that's not a tar, its an update.zip.

Yeah it was definitely a tar.md5 file, which leads me to believe I was incredibly dumb and possibly flashed a ROM for a different model phone. I'm having difficulty finding the post now which is very strange. This could be one of those moments where I take a good hard look in the mirror and figure out just what the heck I was thinking.
I'll keep looking for what exactly I did wrong, but in the mean time is there anything else I could attempt or look for short of attempting that USB jig and making a trip to Sprint? I'm feeling like a huge idiot right now. I've done this how many times now and when I finally make a mistake, it turns out to be huge.

Well ultimately you can try uninstalling / reinstalling drivers. But you say this issue exists across multiple pcs so that likely isn't it.
You can try another cable and see if you have any success with that.
Other then that, it kinda really depends what is in that tar you flashed. Once you find it, post the link, and that will help troubleshoot your issue.

Negative, I started right at the "Using the noob-proof ODIN method:". It said noob-proof and I decided that would be the easiest. It turns out it is very easy...if you're flashing to the correct phone Plus, I'd used ODIN before and felt comfortable with it.
Ha ha that's the first one for this method......look up jtag they may fix it for u if u don't have USB .... About 60 with shipping

I just downloaded the tar to have a look at whats included.
After flashing this you'll have a bootloader for the intl. sgs2. This is a problem many ran into when original SGS2 leaked tars started surfacing as well.
JTAG might be able to fix it, I'm not sure whether people with this issue were successful or not with JTAG repair as the intl gs2 flashing boat seems to have sailed now. However, a jig will likely do nothing, unfortunately.

Ok thank you for your help on this. You don't think a jig will reset the counter or anything so that I can take it back to Sprint? If not, I'm not above "dropping" it on the ground and using the insurance I have on it for a replacement.

I don't foresee it working only because your phone isn't recognized by your pc and the problem doesnt lie on the pc side.
The problem is instead with the port on the phone which leads me to believe it won't recognize a jig either.
A jtag if successful will leave you with more money in your pocket and a non-returb. Something to consider if you've got a backup phone you can use for a few days.

I don't see sprint replacing it with cm9 On it .... And u will need mobile Odin to get back to stock but with it not mounting the Emmc probably can't do that .... That is your hope to get back to stock using mobile Odin someway .... Triangle away app will reset Odin count but with no radio you need to get apps to do it and no sd from what u said ...maybe tell insurance u lost it and get it replaced
Jtag should work also since there is no emmc failure like the blue light of death bricks ...

[Q] odin one click failed, semi-bricked, other options?

So far Ive had nothing but issues with this phone... rooting went fine, but after flashing carbon rom i stopped connecting to 4g. Tried a port of aosp as well, same happened. So i used the flashable zip located here to return to stock, and got an error after the reboot saying "could not mount /preload", but it seemed to finish successfully. Once booted, still no 4g. So i decided to use an odin one click from here but it failed at sboot.bin. now it wont boot... Ive been working with android for a while, never had this many issues (except trying to get jb on the infuse... that was fun . So i guess my goal now is just to get it fully functional again (including 4g), and if possible a TW based rom with working 4g...
On a side note, all of my flashes were clean, and i was using the stock kernel most of the time (tried to use plasma but kept getting phone FCs...) and Im 99% sure all the files i used were for this phone varient (L900, right)
Any help guys?
EDIT: I also realize after hours of reading that 4g WAS an issue with recent builds due to the new RIL blobs, but that doesnt explain why stock wont connect...???
Maybe a bad download? A couple of those one click files have been wanky for me in the past. Which one did you use?

Having the same issue here. Good to know its not me. Recently went back to stock/unrooted after having issues with PATB's latest release. Noticed when I got back to stock, I had no 4G. So, I've since rooted and loaded Synergy's latest build. ROM is great, but still no 4G. I've tried updating PRL, FIRMWARE and making sure I'm on CDMA/LTE. I wouldn't think its a bad DL since its 3 different ROMS doing the same thing... Looking for help too

Are the links not clickable? The link for both files should be in my first post. As far as a bad DL, it passed the md5, so im not sure why it failed... does anyone have a working tar of the LJC stock? This isnt even my phone, my friend needs it back before work tomorrow. Thats what happens when you get cocky. You think youve got things down pat then things end up broken :/ just shows how careful you need to be i guess...
EDIT!!
got it back working! turns out the bootloader wont write if your on the updated stock rom, so i used one that doesnt need to write the BL. also, this tar.md5 completely restored functionality, including 4g! so if your having issues, use the tar.md5 from here . its an older version of stock, but it works!
there is also a one click file, but i cannot verify if it works or not.

I won't recommend this one as it was a build based on an update zip. Please use MC2 instead or Billard412's Back to LJC stock zip if needed.

note 3 running 4.4.4 issues

ok guys, i have a question for you. keep in mind that im new to the phone world lol. ok so a bout a month ago i wanted to unroot my phone but for some reason the tar files on sammobile wasnt working right. so i came on here and downloaded what i believed to be the file that i needed to go back to stock. after i used odin and the phone rebooted it automatically notified me that i had a update. after i accepted the update and it rebooted, it again notified me that i have yet another update. so after this happened i noticed that my phone was updated to 4.4.4 kitkat which would be great exept for the fact that it keeps freezing and when i am on wifi i have a problem getting phone calls aswell as text messages. also when i disconnect from wifi i have to restart the phone to get any data back. is there anything that i can do? is it possible to go back to 4.3 or even 4.2.2? any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello! Did you make a back up of your phone before you started the update? That would be the easiest way to go back to how it was. If you used Odin and didn't install a recovery like TWRP or Clockwork you may not have done so. I believe you can reload from Odin with an older ROM it will just erase everything you did. There are stock ROMS here at XDA and galaxynote3root.com as well. Let me know it this helps, sorry for your troubles.

Oh and to answer your question, i have never has a custom recovery on this phone and i didnt make a back up.

I'm actually surprised that you did get an update to 4.4.4... You could try going back to NF9. The safest route I see that you can take is to install a custom recovery and make a backup before doing this. If you odin NF9 and it doesn't boot then you're kinda screwed because we technically don't have the 4.4.4 update yet, so if anything goes wrong, you can install a recovery again and restore the 4.4.4 backup.

I'm actually surprised that you did get an update to 4.4.4... You could try going back to NF9. The safest route I see that you can take is to install a custom recovery and make a backup before doing this.

You can get the latest TWRP recovery here : http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Just odin that and after it's done, go into recovery by doing Vol down + Home and do a backup either in your internal or external storage. After that finishes, you can go back in download mode and odin NF9.
ok thanks for all you help man,
