On stock GB EI22. Cannot currently use ODIN. More details on that here, for the curious: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375005
Question:
In my current state, is it possible to flash a stock EC05 from the default recovery?
I could then use one of the root methods without ODIN, then get CWM, then flash back to GB using a rooted kernel / custom ROM...
Just flash an EC05 ROM, you are rooted right? Reread it...guess not. No, there is nothing you can flash from stock recovery that will take you back to EC05 from GB.

Thanks. That's what I was almost certain about. I will focus on getting that port to work again.

Give Heimdall a try. It has it's own drivers.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I had tried Heimdall from a Macbook Air as well (in addition to the other 4 computers I mentioned in the reference thread). It did not work. It did not do anything, similiar to Windows.
However, I did manage to get ODIN to work!!! Same setup I've always used, which until this incident, had always worked (same PC, same USB port, same cable, same phone, same person, same room in the house, etc.).
The only thing I did was uninstall the drivers completely, then reinstall, rebooting in between every step.
Afterwards, I opened ODIN, put phone in download mode, and BAM!, like magic, it worked again. 7 seconds later, I had CWM (ACS 5 1.0.0.0) installed!
Now, I am not sure it had anything to do with re-installing the drivers because:
1. I had the phone briefly connect once during the 4-ish day period... I was booted into Android, Windows did the USB connected sound and I saw "Samsung" under USB Devices in Device Manager. Then, when I removed the cable and booted into download mode, nothing...
2. I expected to hear the USB connection sound, regardless if the drivers worked on not. I would then expect to get a message stating "Could not install drivers" or something to that extent. Perhaps my perception is wrong?
3. No other computer, which had the drivers freshly installed, detected the phone, even with the same USB cable I know works.
Anyways, once CWM was in place, rooting took another few seconds. Ti Backup restored and all seems to be well.
Thanks everyone!
Yup. Happened to me too once. Out of the blue my computer would not recognize my phone with usb debugging on. Reinstalled the drivers and it was fine.

Was flashing my cousins Epic yesterday, tried to root GB with an online tutorial and soft bricked it. Used Odin to go back to ec05, ota'd to froyo (rooted immediately), looking to move to rooted gb(prob stock), and get MMS working for metro.
Just use the froyo upgrade tool

Stuck! For some God forsaken reason, when my phone is in DL mode Odin or any computer that i tried will read the phone. I have tried different drivers thats been posted in this forum along with different settings like turning on/off developer mode before going to DL mode.
So I cant use Odin to update my modem on my phone.... is there a file that i can roll back to the DI18? I use the update.zip from DI18>DK28 and hoping that i can revert that way and go get EC05 through CWM.
This doesn't belong in development, hopefully impaler will be here to move it soon.
We need more info to be able to help, like:
What OS is the computer running?
Do you have the Samsung drivers installed?

I have the same problem myself.
DK28 is an unsupported build. The update script posted above won't work.
In DK28 USB communication died and as such Odin is not an option. The only option as far as I know is to flash a FULL ROM which has a DI18 modem as part of the ROM using CWM. You will just have to put the file on the SD card manually using a PC since USB is not an option.
After you go to DI18 just follow the regular steps to go from DI18 -> EC05 (may need multiple steps with EB13 intermediate step)
I haven't gotten around to doing this myself yet, still stuck on DK28.

so flash a rom that have a di18 rom and hope for the best?
it seems that i have that i cannot find a rom that is supported with cwr 3.0+ to flash back to di18 =(
There is no reason DK28 should have effected being able to use Odin at all as LiberatorUSA has suggested, as many here running custom roms have more than likely run a version of DK28 at one time, and the only way to update the modem from DK28 is through Odin. And while you can flash a different rom through CWM (such as those based on DI18, EB13, or even EC05), you will still need to use Odin to update the modem. If you really think DK28 is to blame, then you can flash to an EC05 rom (such as SRF 1.1.0, as it supports CWM3) and then try to re-Odin from there.
Here are some basic things to try, as I don't see them listed in what you have done... Have you tried using every usb port on your computer? Are you using the stock usb cable? Have you tried other cables? Completely uninstall all previous drivers before trying to install different drivers. Open your device manager and connect your phone in DL mode, watching to see what devices appear, then manually attempt to uninstall those specific devices.
Download the epic drivers direct from Samsung. The first time connecting may take up to 15 minutes as there are some parts that Windows 7 seems to want to find on the net. After all drivers report installed then put your phone in download mode (hold 1 key while booting on) start Odin then plug your phone in. A COM number should show up on the computer screen. If this doesn't work try another data cable.
Do you BONSAI?
Have u tried different versions of odin?
Different usb ports?
Does the com port pop up?

I have tried it in multiple computers and the odin do recognize the phone untill i go to DL mode, i Dl the drivers directly from samsung and it did took awhile to find the drivers. It recognize the device until i go to DL mode, I have used my samsung cable , my wifes htc evo cable and my mom's droid x cable. All the same result, i spent the whole day trying to figure it out. I had a fresh install of winxp and win7 on two different laptops.
I installed the DK28 through a CWM, i have been having odin problems since day one and not just this time.

meh might just get a refurb from sprint later on. or get a new phone all together. I cant find a solution w/ or w/o odin >_<
Ok, I have win7 and cannot root with my comp. I spent weeks trying to get it to work, and I gave up. At the time, I had an older machine with XP, and was able to root my phone via that older machine. Since then I have moved and that comp is in storage.
I'm getting all kinds of errors and the phone keeps shutting off constantly (currently running srf) and I have tried to wipe and reinstall many many times.
Being that my comp doesn't see my phone (only sometimes it sees it for storage, but that only happens WITHOUT debugging, and even then is hit or miss. I use wireless ftp for file transfers) I can't Odin and I can't root. I tried the "no computer" roots before, but it would never work, and I always had to use my older computer with XP.
Is there a ReRFS WITH root? I've searched and can't find one. I'd like to go back to stock w/ root so I can start flashing roms from scratch.
Sounds like the cable but wierd it works on old but not new I have heard that sometimes only certain usb ports on a computer will work something about being attached to the board or something So if using the stock cable replace that with something like a blackberry one and maybe try a different usb port on the computer

Yes I do. Orange cwm.
DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip
"Flash this kernel to have root and busybox, this kernel has reboot recovery to cwm 3.1.0.1, and is ROM Manager compatible."
Does that kernel actually root the epic? If so, I could flash the ReRFS and then flash that for root ect.
I think so.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
So i flashed the ReRFS and rooted with the DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip. Then flashed purple cwm and then flashed the srf rom again.
I am trying to re-root my Epic after flashing to stock so I could take it into Sprint for repair. I plug it into my netbook running Windows 7 64bit and everything seems to install fine except this thing called "CDC Abstract Control Module ACM". It seems to find the drivers fine and even gets to the place where it says "Installing Driver Software", but then it hangs forever. I tried just running the CWM One click root, but it says "Phone not connected".
Anyone know what this CDC is and how to make it install? I have tried a few times doing system restore back to before I installed the Samsung drivers, then started over from scratch. But, nothing seems to work.

mine hung on that too... wish I still had an old copy of the drivers, I swear they changed. Either that, or one other thing is that when I did the same as you about a month ago, I hadnt installed the Android SDK yet... come to think of it, idunno why, I THINK we still need it, but maybe not. Whenever I get issues with drivers installing, I uninstall them, reboot PC, reinstall, reboot PC, plug in epic, let it install drivers till it hangs, then quickly pull out then re-insert the USB in the phone and it sometimes will trip it up and complete the install. Also, now that I think of it, I was having issues installing drivers with the epic running a GB leak, as soon as I Odined to EC05 (using a different PC) they seemed to install fine. Hmmm... just reread your post, coffee THEN post, thats a good tip, anyways, maybe try the different ports on the PC, etc... I think the drivers are the biggest ***** of the whole process... everything else works pretty easily.
Weird I had the same problem I just unplugged my phone restarted my computer and phone and when I plugged it in I had not problems....try restarting both...also what method are u using to root??? And are u on EC05???

I had the same problem when I installed the drivers. Fortunately, I watched one of qbkings videos (where he talks about replacing the USB cable). I bought a new micro-usb cable and have never had a problem since. So really, the thanks goes to qbking for the great vids.
I just installed the new Android 4.0.4 TBASGIIIv1.8 ROM for my Epic 4G touch and lost the USB connectivity with Windows-7. My computer will no long recognized the phone when plugged into the USB port and it worked fine with the Android 4.0.3 ICS FD16 ROM. It use to come up in windows saying SPH-D710 with a pop-up windows and with this new rom installed it will no longer recognize the phone. Is this a simple fix or problem with the new ROM because I would like to be able to download some of my files using Samsung Kies?
What ROM is the? And where did you get it from (link)? Team Rejects? How did you flash?

It’s the newest version of the ICS based custom ROM with the Galaxy S3 theme and all the detailed instruction are listed in this link: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-epic-4g-touch-ics-custom-rom-galaxy-s3-theme-93959/
I downloaded the newest version 1.8 from this thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673662
Everything works fine with the exception of the USB connectivity was lost and the computer will no longer recolonize the phone when attached via USB cable.
I download an app called USB switcher and made sure it’s on the mass storage but still inoperable.
When the USB cable connection is made the computer gives and audible note a will briefly flash a storage device for a second in the Computer – Devices with Removable Storage window then quickly disappears.
I’ve tried going back to the EL29 stock ROM about three times and the USB connection works fine with ICS Android 4.0.3 but doesn’t function at all with the latest ICS based custom ROM with the Galaxy S3 theme?
I'd first try to uninstall any samsung drivers you have on your PC then re-install them. Get em here http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Also try a different USB port AND cable.
If that fails I'd grab Mobile Odin from the market and download one of sfhub's one-clicks and install it (he has instructions for flashing from the phone on signature http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23478866&postcount=869 in his posts.)

Ah I see. probably disregard my last post then.
Use sfhub's autoroot package to enable mass storage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24010029&postcount=889
That may work.
I tried uninstalling the drivers and reloading them a few times and even tried it on different computer.
I updated the Kernal using the PC based Odin3 v1.85 and flashed the EL26 stock CWM and might just have to try using the mobile version.

I had the same problem with my old et4g. I was running calks ics rom and kept getting the voltage to high notification and i wasnt even charging. And it also was no longer being recognized by the computer. Tried every fix. I went back to calks gb rom and still had the same problem with voltage notification and not being recognized. I tried to mobile odin back to a stock rom and it soft bricked my phone. It will only boot into recovery and i can get no where from there.

I'm going back to the FD26 ROM because that had the best 4G signal IMO.

You should still be able to use the download mode to flash the stock ROM using Odin OC without the phone being able to boot up?
The problem I always had was getting it to connect to the computer cause the USB port is jacked up. I finally jacked with it enough that it connects 1 time out of 5. Used the method u just linked and its back up and running. Hell yea. Thanx. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it now cause in already got a replacement and I don't think the ESPN is any good but I could always flash it to boost or something

How did you do that without USB connection? My phone has a problem and I need to get it completely back to stock for warranty repair. A week or so ago I lost USB connect-ability. I do not have ICS installed.

Download a stock rom to your computer, then use a wifi app to load it on your phone, use mobile Odin app to flash it.

Since there are a lot of issues upgrading via Kies here is what I did. Make sure you use the original USB that you got with the phone and that you plug it into a port on the BACK of the computer directly; not into a hub or any other peripheral.
Here is what you should do if the phone is completely stock:
1.) Go to www.samsung.com/us/kies and download Kies for Windows
2.) Install Kies, which will take a little while
3.) Plug original USB into the back of the computer, then into the phone. Non-OEM cables are the cause of a lot of issues. Sometimes non-OEM works, most of the time not.
4.) Wait for your computer to install the phone drivers
5.) Kies should recognize the phone after a little while and prompt you to update.
6.) *OPTIONAL* The update doesn't wipe the phone, but I made a backup anyway.
7.)After you accept to update it will download the file and your phone will go into download mode. At this point my computer had to install a generic USB driver and after that it started flashing the update.
I posted this in the JB thread, but it was buried within minutes so I figure a new thread might help,
Eric
Thanks! Kies worked perfect for me. Mostly stock LH9 rooted w/ 4 mods and TWRP installed. Flash counter was at 4.
lol glad someone got something out of it. There are a lot of people posting about issues flashing so I figured it should have its own thread.
I actually had to do the same thing but I Had to go back and download the drivers for the phone. Even after it did it automatically when I hooked up the phone.
