Try flashing a kernel via ODIN. Are you on Gingerbread (EI22)? If so, download the kernel-GB-3.tar.md5 from this thread. Per the OP instructions there, put in in the PDA slot, have "reboot" be the only checked item, and give it a go.
eh17 but wont charge or load up, goes to recovery if plugged in computer thats all it will do!!

When I tried to flash CWM yesterday via ODIN on my laptop, my laptop blue screened (USB issues) right when I hit start. When I tried to turn on my phone, I got the same exact icons that you did (phone ! pc). I fixed it by reflashing the kernel via ODIN.
EI22 kernel should work just fine for EH17. You can also try and use nubecoder's kernel, which would be useful if you had a EXT4 ROM. Try to use ODIN to flash a kernel in your phone's download mode.
If this doesn't do anything, perhaps you need to ODIN a whole new ROM over. I'm on EI22 and loving it. I was using Toad's EI17 (here) before that.

Happy Modifying!!!

ok so, i just rooted my phone and that went fine. did it with the stock rom, but after I did that I installed clockwork mod. well, i tried to do a back up of the current rom and when it rebooted it crashed. now it comes up to the android system recovery screen but it won't let me select anything...... can anyone help?!?!?
i am freaking out here... did i brick my phone?!?!?! anyone????
I don't know why you're having a problem or what caused it but you certainly didn't brick your phone. You can always flash a new ROM in clockwork or use odin to flash the stock .tar.
edit: missed the part about not being able to select anything in recovery. All is not lost, just flash the stock EG31 .tar with odin and you'll be fine. You're gonna have to reroot and set everything back up again (I've done it twice today) but at least you will still have a phone. Try just flashing the kernel first, maybe you can get it to boot without losing anything.
everytime i reboot the phone it just comes back to this android system recovery screen. it's blule, at the bottom is says manual mode. and something sucsessfull but, it won't let me selelect any of the options and it keeps booting to this screen... where can i download odin? i keep seeing stuff about that, i guess i need to flash to a rom or something....
edit: cool, yeah.. can you show me where to download what your talking about??
thank you!!

I as well have this same problem. Basically I've reverted to downloading the latest EL29 Download from the wikia, then re-rooting the device using the auto root without Odin.
Then, and only then can you flash a rom, but only once then you will have to repeat this process
P.S. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP INCASE THIS DOESNT WORK.
hope this helps http://youtu.be/_vmEmheJnyg
Md5 checker plp. Its free. Use it love it. Bad download.Or give it some time first boot can take upto around 6to8 min. Be patient it pays off.
ok finally was able to fix it. the youtube video was perfect and super easy to follow and odin only took a 3 minutes to fix the issue. i wish i knew exactly what i did wrong though.
Congrats OP. Way to go. prolly a bad dwnld. Md5checker babby. Give it a try. You might be surprised at how often roms get fukt when downloading. Also I do all my downloading from my phone. So dont believe the hype about only use your comp for ROM dwnlds. I have only had two bad dwnlds from my phone, way more from my comp.
Well...long story short, I flashed ICS but I got locked out so I had to Nandroid back to my original ROM, but some error happened and now my phone won't turn on and I can't access my internal SD card. Using Rogue Recovery, when I try to Restore, my internal SD card isn't detected and I get E:/ Can't mount /emmc. Any way to fix this? Or am I bricked? Please help ASAP
I think my entire internal SD has been fried... If anyone has information, please tell me ASAP
I would start by seeing if you can get into download mode. Sorry if you've already tried this. Otherwise, pull the battery for 10 secs and then hold the volume down button and power key until your screen enters download mode. If that works, you can then Odin back to whatever you want.
I got into Odin, but I'm not really sure what to do with it. I'm not experienced with Odin. Should I push a Kernel? a ROM? My phone won't turn on regularly so a ROM would be pointless
Read along with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
If I tried to explain it, I'd for sure leave something out and you'd really be bricked. It sounds like you're phone is fine. It sounds like you just need to download a stock ROM .tar and flash it via Odin, then re-root, etc. Good luck.
Thanks. I pushed a kernel through but I'm hesitant to take the step for flashing a whole ROM. Also, by stock, do you mean a stock rooted ROM or a blank stock ROM?
in recovery, try to mount the SD card and connect it to your computer. See if it shows up in the computer and if your files are there and you can access it.
If you follow the steps in that guide, you'll be fine. I've done it a bunch of times. I keep a couple of stock ROM .tars on my laptop in case I screw something up while flashing. If I can do it, anyone can.

It won't let me. I think my internal memory is fried. But if I can get my phone working again, I don't care about the internal memoru
I'm on my way to bed. But, I can tell you that some of the vets around here have said time after time that if you're able to get into download mode, chances are your phone will be fine if you know how to Odin back to stock. Good luck to you.

It's fine. Mine was doing the same thing with Blazer ICS.
Basically, the way ICS handles USB mount is absurd. Makes no sense.
You have to flash clockworkmod touch from a zip file.
Just follow Phantoms steps exactly, only what's in bold:
To recover recovery:
Thru Odin:
Boot into Download Mode
Open ODIN
Download and Put this in PDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390393
Flash
Thru Recovery:
Temp CWM How-To (Thanks to overstew for the concept)
1. Download CWM Touch 5.8.1.5 for Epic 4G Touch
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2. Reboot into Stock Recovery
3. "apply update from external storage"
4. Find CWM T ouch 5.8.1.5 zip file and flash it
5. Using Touch Recovery flash ICS-4-ICS v1.0 (FOR THE ICS THEME ONLY)
6. Reboot and enjoy.
Thank you very much, rde. I'm currently flashing sfhub's factory reset from Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383678)
I pray that my phone is okay, lol.

We've actually found 2 cases where this isn't true:
1) if you flash the intl ICS release (which includes the intl bootloader) This seems to disable the USB port even though you can boot into ODIN D/L mode
2) some process people were doing early on when the FB02 release first came out (not saying it is the FB09 release causing issues, just some unidentified process people were doing at that time) seems to hoars the /data partition and even ODIN repartition doesn't help. I don't want to point fingers but there seemed to be pattern of CWM Touch being involved doing restores, but that was not scientifically proven.
I've learned that no matter what happens, this file will always fill the cracks in mah heart.

afterwards I can begin anew

[Longish story]
So, I rooted yesterday, all was good. Used the CF-auto root. After that I got titanium backup and clockwork mod. After that I download the app ROM Toolbox, scrolled over to fonts, clicked a font, pushed continue, device rebooted and it wouldn't fully turn on. It would load up all the way to the Samsung logo and flash blue with that long and have the blue led on. Got scared since it was my first time rooting and stuff and went on forums. Got to clockworkmod and had no progression. Someone told me that I need to download a rom onto my external sd card and plug it back in my device then click that. File didn't work and it said my sdcard can't mount. So I read that I can flash the stock rom from Odin onto my device through the download mode on android. I tried and still am as we speak but it just stays on "system.img". I don't know what to do, and is scared that I can no longer use my device. Is there anything I can do or am I ruined?
Thank you all!
You must do a factory reset in your stock recovery after you flash your stock fw threw odin :beer:

Well, I'm trying to flash a stock rom on my phone via Odin but like I said, it just stays on the "system.img" any ideas?
Download odin and flash stock att rom start over. Your phone would probably have booted rom toolbox reboots can take a long time.
I had issues with rom tool box too. Ill never use it again

But is it normal if it stays on system.img with a sign of progressing? I mean I have been patient for this to happen but it was going on for more than a hour without moving! Should I do it again and just wait all night? Also, now when I boot up my device, it tells me to do something with Kies, like a recovery. But my device won't even get recognized by my computer so the Kies thing Won't work. Also, I don't believe I can access CWM anymore. Does this matter?
Members, really done it this time!!!:crying:
I have successfully re flashed stock firmware today 4.1.2 back on the phone. It worked great, thanks to you guys help. :good: Needed to solve a few issues, I was so happy to achieve that.
THEN I tried to root my phone again, and install CWM via ODIN (3.07)I unzipped the CWM file added on the PDA etc . Waited, then FAIL. Phone booted back up a message saying ''Firmware upgrade encounter an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies, and try again'' With a pic' of a pc and a phone. Have tried to fix with Kies, though no luck, I guess I don't have a recovery system in the phone now
Now I can't boot into recovery mode Tried just goes in the message above.
Lucky though there is a glimmer of hope as I can get into downloading mode/Odin by pressing -volume down, menu, power button.. Says system status ;Official, Current Bin :Custom. Custom Bin Down yes (5 counts)
So I can't use the phone, just in the 'modes' described above.
I am a newbie to this techie stuff, enjoying learning, that said, I lost a lot of possessions n' money last year, and the phone is the only possession I have now, and it's not working now.
If any members have any ideas, if and how I can fix my phone. Please let me know. I am hoping I can use some files to fix(?) with Odin.?
Thanks in advance, and big respect for any help to get my loved phone up and running. Or do you think rather than waste days trying to find info' and fix it, I should get my credit card out and buy another phone?
Sincerely appreciated any help, Alex
Have you used philz recovery or CWM recovery?Which baseband version are you using?

Update
Tried to sleep, but could not, so burning mid night oil. Thought all I need to do, is reflash firmware, and should be good. Seems like the USB ports/or USB cable is the problem? Seems in Odin it adds/ removed. Tried flashing firemware, then removed 1/4 the way through. Not good...
At least I think this is what happened during CWM /root before.
Going to try to tomorrow day time on another laptop.
If you guys/girls have an ideas/thoughts,please let me know:good:

Reflashed this today 4.1.2 XAMC7 STOCK from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43797796
Guess thats the baseband? Can't obviously access settings now to check my device.
Like I said, had just reflashed stock successfully, and had the stock recovery ,then tried to add CWM with ODIN on the download mode, though the download was a fail, maybe as my USB/ports seem to be iffy...? So phone has no recovery, only the download mode and other page as explained above.
No so have not tried those 2 recovery as phone as no recovery at all now !)=
PS In download mode, does the battery still charge, if on the usb cable, ? Worried battery draining away.

OK Thanks will try and flash that in Odin. If you have info' info' how I flash it with Odin, do I open in PDA then flash??
If you have the file link, that would be great.. I really can't afford money to buy new phone, and time spend trying to fix phone I should be job hunting. Though need phone for communications as I am stuck in small village, no transport/buses out even..
When I tried to flashflash firmware again, on Odin I get fail message saying ''complete(write) operation failed'' guess phone stuck somewhere from previous mid-download usb fail..
Thanks for any help, Alex
Yes, you beauty'..Thanks..
Flashed the CWM on Odin, then fe flash firmware, now back ' in' the phone ! Ye ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Battery was on 17% btw so guess there is no charge on download mode...Need to check cwm installed properly, then
just got to root it again..will wait for battery to top 1st Thanks for your help!!! Respect
just to add (for others knowledge)the problem was a faulty USB port orginally
