My epic randomly went into boot loop on sunday. I odin'ed it monday and it was working better then before i woke up today and it was boot looping again i just tried odin 3 times now and it boot loops... is my epic bricked?
No, bricked means no lights, no power, no nothing. You are sponged. Try a different cable and a different tar.

any idea why this would keep happening out of the blue? Also i am using another my other cable that i always use. used it to root and odin multiple times.
What are you Odining and are you restoring data? My guess is your data is bad. Downlod your apps fresh from the market. Don't restore any data.

Not restoring anything i also removed the sd card. I tried to odin ec05 stock and eb13 stock. right after it says successful and closes threads i unplug my phone. Then put my batter back in and it say samsung after about 45 seconds it turn's black and samsung comes back up and loops. Also when i charge it shows the battery icon and the spinning circle in it freezes and the screen will not turn off. Seem like its just done for. I took extremely good care of it too very frustrating. If you have any other idea's I would appreciate them.
Edit: also each time it did this i couldn't get into CWM. Thats why i used odin. Just thought i should mention it.

Have you tried using the "official" Samsung EB13 app? I've used it as a last resort for a clean flash.

Good call it seems to be working.. i guess i will see for how long. Really strange it was totally bricked for a few mins no power or lights.. then i unplugged it and plugged it back in and boom started actually charging like normal (the the circle started spinning in the middle of that battery icon) so i turned it on and I was shocked to see the sprint boot screen. I bet its a temp fix till it full breaks but at least i dont have to use this damn blackberry.
Very strange
thanks
The Samsung update tool repartitions your device. It may have been a bad partition table. My next suggestion was to use the PIT file and check repartition in Odin but I see you are up and running...great!

You should fully charge your battery and clear battery stats in CWM.
allright, i will charge it up then root it again.

I couldn't without rooting it and installing CWM. So i got it charged, rooted the installed CWM then did what u said. Anyway I hope this doesn't screw up again. thanks for the help guys.
OH, so when you Odin'd you did not root after...Ah, I see. There is also an app to clear the stats and calibrate the battery but I believe it requires root as well.

1) I have cm7
2) I downloaded Kernel Manager and downloaded and flashed the latest Tiamat kernel.
After that, my battery will not charge. I have an all in one charger that I can use in my car or plug into an outlet (from Sprint). When I plug in the charger, a light comes on so that I know it's plugged in. However, when I plug it into my phone it won't charge AND it turns off the light on the charger. Luckily I have a coworker that has an EVO and my charger works just fine with his phone.
I've rebooted several times, which is killing my battery. I tried to just flash a new kernel, but now I kept getting errors that flashed too quickly for me to read. I thought, Hey I'll uninstall and re-install. So I uninstalled and tried to open the Market and now I'm getting network errors and can't connect through anything. I'm down to 37% so I can't flash the new cm7.1.
Yes, I'm a n00b but I have researched and Googled and I can't find anyone with the same problem. Feel free to tell me to throw my phone out the window, but I'd really appreciate some help. Even if it's "Take out your SD card and flash cm7.1 when you get home."
TIA.
*EDIT: Thanks for everyone's help. It looks like it is a hardware problem (bad pins). I went back to stock and unrooted so Sprint can fix it/give me a new phone.
Have you taken out the battery, and let it sit out for maybe a good solid minute, then try to charge? it worked for me on the random time it happened, and make sure its plugged into a wall outlet, not a usb port, ect.

I'm defintely just using my wall/car charger since my usb cable is at home.
I left it out for two minutes and I still have the same problem.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Well first try letting the battery cool down just turn off your phone for like 15 min. And see if that works.
If that dont work try this and since you use kernel manager try this.
1.go into the settings of kernel manager and turn off the setting for auto flashing.
2.download the godmode kernel towards the bottom of the list.
3.steel your friends battery with his permission since your running out.
4.boot into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik.
5.(now I take it your in clockwork and not amon since you running cm7 so I'm not sure what you click to do this since unused amon) but go to flash a zip from SD card and look for a folder on the root of your SD called kernel-manager then go to the toastcfh folder and flash the godmode-v9 zip that's in there. Its a great kernel the was made for use with cm7 + all other aosp so it should work. Post your results if it did or didn't work

Did you make a backup before flashing? If so, flash the nandroid and reflash the kernel.
Also, try downloading the kernel to your computer from its respective website, transfer it to your phone, then flash.

What I would try is download the kernel from the dev section [could have gotten a bad flash], then try that.
Also, try another battery in your evo, like you co-workers, because you battery could be super drained and it'll have to be jumped at a sprint store; or leave in on the charger for a few hours and see if it turns on.

I did not backup because I am stupid and was having trouble trying to flash it in recovery (my power button wasn't working as "select", it was just turning my screen off). But I have titanium back up and I didn't flash cm7 so long ago that I would mind flashing the nandroid or a new ROM.
I can't flash right now because my battery is now a very sad 22% and I'm pretty sure my coworker isn't going to lend me his battery. I also don't have my data cable with me so I can't do anything between my phone and computer until I get home.
This is really ****ing with my happy hour plans.

So after my coworker let me charge my battery enough to make it to the Sprint store, they charged it up to about 70% and I wiped and flashed GodMode. All better! It got stuck in a boot loop so i had to reboot but then it was fine. Thank you!
Completely unrelated, but now Launcher Pro Plus is throwing an error and force closing upon start up.

Glad you got it working, and is it just lagging, like not swiping when moving screens or opening the app drawer? if so lock the device, wait a second, then unlock again. Also check your minimum frequency.

It's just whenever I boot up my phone, the very first time it just doesn't work and force closes. As long as I don't turn off my phone, it's fine (mabe a bit laggy, but that's it).
So now that i have been home, my data cable charges my phone just fine (though, it did take longer than usual). I'm at work again, and my charger still doesn't charge my phone! It charges my coworker's phone but not mine. SO WEIRD!
Back to the Sprint store for me ...

That occasionally happens, where it may take launcher pro an extra minute to load, make sure its on the internal memory to make it the fastest.
And that is weird, I would have suggest you may have been using a bad outlet or cable, but no reason for it to charge one phone and not the other. Its possible you could have a bad usb port, so I'd take it to sprint and see what they say.
So I took it to Sprint and they say I need to go back to stock and unRoot before they will work on my phone. :/
They tried different wall chargers and none work, but USB cables work as long as they are plugged into a computer or AC adapter.
Do I try flashing a different ROM? do I restore my NAND backup from before I rooted? Do I just rely on my data cable to charge my phone and deal with it? UGH.
And now I will never know if i messed my phone up with the kernel flashing business or if it was a true hardware problem.

I think it may be hardware. I only use the data cable via usb, or use the adapter for the wall outlet, and never had a problem.
What's your current setup? You can always change kernels, and if you wana unroot, shoot me a pm and I'll fix ya up.
Stuck on Downloading... screen but won't connect to my PC anymore. (COM not showing up).
It froze when I was trying to install EE03 modem from EG22.
What do I do? Pull battery and boot into clockwork?

You probably have to reboot your computer. If you can disconnect the phone, pull battery, put it back and still get into download mode, you are fine. Just reboot, open Odin and try it again. I have better success with a full battery but that may just be me.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Heck, half the time my phone won't make it through the Odin process unless I hold it gently in my hand and keep telling it "shhh...it'll be alright, it won't hurt"
I have never had any problems using odin and i'm guessing thats because i dont use the gay usb's samsung provides with the epics.. lol
usb's are real cheap. I recommend everyone to get a new one..
I tried searching, but I couldn't find anyone with the same problem as me and I don't know what to do.. I'm kind of freaking out. The last update I installed was darkside beta02, and I was really liking it minus a few connection and call issues. Anyways, I was in my car earlier today and picked out a song on play music. The phone instantly turned off, and it appeared that it was about to reboot so I didn't think much about it. Nope. When it starts to turn on it rarely makes it past the samsung screens that pops up right when you start the phone, but it has made it as far as the swirling samsung s splash screen thing. It just acts like it is rebooting from that part and it's like a never ending cycle until I remove the battery. I can get the phone into download mode by plugging it into the computer, but it only stays on for a few seconds and then goes back to it's never ending reboot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I really can't afford to have bricked this phone
UPDATE: I managed to restore the phone to stock, and I proceeded to root and put darkside beta 7.1 on it. Everything was running fine... For a few hours. It began to do the same rebooting described above, but now instead of looking like it's going to boot normally it goes straight to a screen that says "Firmware encountered an issue. Please sleect recovery mode in Kies and try again." with the phone model, "Custom Binary Download: No" and "Current Binary: Samsung Official" up top. It only stays at this screen for a few seconds before it starts back into it endless half-reboot. Any suggestions? This is frustrating me A LOT.

The problem is that I can't do anything but watch the phone start up for about 10 seconds, or be in download mode for about 10 seconds. Not much time to do anything.

I had this exact thing happen to me today!! For the last week or so, I would get a random reboot up to four times a day. This started happening after I flashed Whitehawkx UVLDE zip. What I did was left the battery in the phone let the constant reboot run until the battery died. Then I would try to get into download mode, but then it would reboot before Odin recognized it. I left the usb plug in the phone and took the battery out, the phone would still do the rebooting vibration. I just stayed with trying to get the phone to stay on long enough to get recognized by Odin. Leave the drained battery out of the phone for a while (your choice of how long, I left it for about forty minutes) and replace it, hopefully it stays on long enough to get recognized. Finally it stayed on long enough and I re-flashed ULKL1. Now I'm back to running TDJ's DARKSIDE. EVOLUTION.2 [BETA 3] and I haven't had any reboots where as before it would reboot within fifteen minutes.

Thank you! And when you say replace the battery, do you mean get a whole new one or put in the dead one?
Just put the dead one in.
My advice is similar to his, but without killing the battery. Open odin on your computer, and input what your going to input into pda and have everything ready to go, so all you have to do is press start and its off. Now, start with the phone turned off, hold both volume buttons and plug in the usb cable from the computer quickly! Have your hand ready on the mouse and ready to click start. Soon as odin recognizes click that start button! Hopefully everything happened so quick, that the phone will take the flash. However, if it doesn't, then I'm afraid the only answer you would have left is to use a jig to reset the counter and take it in to be replaced.

The thing is, it starts to start up, and you can clearly see that it's rooted. I feel like they won't honor my warranty.
Hello All,
Searched around.. no fix.
Just installed the FK09-- runs awesome. Every so often (on 3G--unsure if related), I get a modem crash. Says do not touch anything for 10 minutes, then reboots to a modem crash cp dump page.
I pull battery and try to turn on and goes back to cp dump upload page. If I plug in the phone, then turn on, it goes away. This leads me to believe it might be a battery issue?
I tried wiping dalvik/cache in clockwork, then reflashing FK09 kernel. I also did the one-click FK09 again also, problem still persists.
Anyone know what this could be? Any fix suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Well... wouldn't hurt to do the spin test with your battery. If it spins easily get it replaced.
Other thing to consider is dumping a logcat via ADB and attach here.

yeah it spins--going to stop by sprint store on way home and hope they have an extra laying around.
just doesnt happen on any other rom/modem/kernel combination. and im a flash-a-holic.
i've already switched roms, but if sum1 wants the logcat, i'd be willing to go back and post it.
thanks for reply.
UPDATE:
I lied.. phone crashed running a stock-rooted FH13. Im gonna blame all of this on bad battery...crashed with no error messages.
This happened once, for the first time this morning, I almost thought it had to do with an email I got at the time (like maybe I it was a virus), I let the report go to 100% then did the battery pull and everything has been since... glad to see I wasn't the only one this happened to.

yeah. never happened before yesterday. first time after being on FK09-- popup comes up RILNotifier saying something about modem crash dont touch anything for 10 min.. then goes to recovery like screen with a percentage count to 100.. nothing happens. waited a bit, finally pulled battery and tried restarting. goes back to dump recovery like screen. only fix for me now is to plug it in while turning it on.
this modem crash only happens when on battery. has not happened at all today while plugged in.. can recreate error usually after about 3-10 min of surfing internet/playing game on phone when not plugged in. hopefully new battery fixes.. or asurion is getting my aged epic pretty quick here.
Just got this today. Was charging battery to move to Agat recovery and (and maybe Wizzing Beanis ROM), when I went to get my phone that should have been at %100, it was on the CRASH CP dialog. Almost looks like the ODIN dialog. When I restarted it was at 78%. Just replaced my Battery 5 weeks ago. BUT I really believe ICS screwed this battery up already. Gonna make the switch to the ROM before I replace the battery. Currently on FK09 ROM with FK23 Modem and Kernal- been using it since the day it was avail to all of us. Might just be an FK09 thing

Hi everyone,
My S3 would all of a sudden just turn off and I wouldn't be able to turn it back on. I've tried taking the battery out and putting it back in. The phone would turn on by itself, but once it flashes the S3 logo, it would go black and the power button would become unresponsive. Sometimes it would keep vibrating. The only way I was able to keep it on long enough to re-flash/do a hard reset was if I took the battery out and left it overnight. But when I managed to re-flash/hard reset, the problem would come up again after a few hours. I was wondering what might be the cause of this. The first time it happened I was just streaming music, the second time it was just charging. I just got it back from warranty because of a loose power button and this problem was never there before. I was wondering what might be the cause of the problem and how I can go about remedying it. Thanks!
Sounds like the battery is failing. To be sure though, you said you can get it up and running for a few hours, right? That should be enough, but first make a nandroid backup. Then recharge, then do a full wipe and odin flash the stock firmware. (Only do this if you are certain it won't die during the flash.)
Are you on a stock rom now? If so and you're not sure enough to use odin, factory reset, including internal sd, and see if it continues.
If it does go to a Tmobile store and see if they'll let you test with a known good battery.

I did a full wipe and odin flashed it with stock firmware after the first time it happened. I thought I was in the clear, but it happened again couple hours later. I've tried it with my spare battery but it does the same thing, it would turn on by itself, flash the S3 logo, then the screen would go black.
I'd take it to T-Mobile, let them see it happen do their thing, and ask them to note it on your account if they tell you to call support.
