wipe cache and dalvik and phone just sits at the screen with the yellow triangle.....i can get to odin even though i odin a stock tar it doens't the same thing on reboot......
help
Your putting the file in the PDA slot and only have "auto-reboot" checked when doing Odin?
You could always flash a kernel in Odin that had a custom recovery(cwm, rogue etc) and then flash a rom from there. Hold volume up and power from the phone being off for that, after its flashed from Odin, if you choose that route

yes i am doing that. and it just sits there with the yellow triangle screen
You could try on of these in Odin(a .tar file not zip). That will give you cwm. Then can flash a rom from there

Did you try sfhub's full ROM/kernel/modem Odin flashable tar? I would go for a completely fresh start. Your PC does recognize the phone right?

Maybe I've missed something in this thread but sounds like you're able to get into download (Odin) mode, flash a FULL recovery tar of your choice. The missing ROM pieces should be corrected.

Use sfhub's stuff. He provides top notch support too..

My epic 4g touch is doing bootloop in the 4g screen. Need help. any ideals how to recover this. I tried flashing rom but clockwork sees no files in external sd card. Plus, how do you transfter files to your internal sdcard in clockwork?Any help is appreciated. Thanks
When I had to recover from a bootloop I actually had to remove my sdcard, put the phone in download mode and reflash it. Flashing with a .tar on your SD card has caused many problems for me =/
As a rule, here is my emergency ROM evacuation plan:
1) Can I get to recovery? If so, I will simply wipe everything (factoryh reset) then reflash fresh.
2) If not, then just boot to download mode (power+volDown) and Odin over a clean kernel (most bootloop issues are going to be from a kernel issue)
3) If all that doesn't work, then flash a stock rom from scratch using Odin
It sounds like 1 is not an option to you. I don't think you can copy from sd to internal without mounting them on a pc and doing the copy on that side.
In any event, you are gonna need a PC.
HTH
You can put files on your SD card by enabling SD mount somewhere within cwm. However I would listen to that guy^
That is probably the best way to "abort" a ROM

Oh and I wanted to ask: what ROM did you install because SD mounting doesn't work with any of the AOSP ICS ROMs...

Hey guys,
I was trying to flash the Starburst ROM onto my Epic 4G Touch yesterday and really messed things up. I followed the instructions on the starburst website and formatted everything. I couldn't, however, find the rom on the SD card, so I used the format /sdcard/ function and put the rom back onto the microsd card, not realizing that the /sdcard/ folder was internal memory and not external.
No matter what kernal I use, from what I can tell, there is no ROM to boot to. How can I get a ROM onto /sdcard/ if I can't get it to boot into anything?
No big deal my man. There is a factory rom you can flash using odin the get you back working. Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420 then stick with Chris 41g's lostkernel.

In recover go to moutns and mount usb. Then you can copy a rom to your sd card.

Ok so after 2 days of working on this I figured out that I could only get USB to recognize this device if I used CWM 5.0.2.3. It mounted USB and I copied Starburst over and I think everything is good. I would like to go back to the stock, plain ROM. I destroyed my backup so is there somewhere I can download the normal rom?
Use odin to go back to stock
Odin will only let me go back to the stock kernel. What if I want the stock samsung rom?
Folow the link I posted that is odin for the stock rom.

I've been rooted since April and have been running CM10 since September, and suddenly my SD Card reader stops working. I unrooted myself by doing the ODIN back to stock method. The SD Card reader worked while I was unrooted, and when I tried rooting my phone, well it was really weird. In odin, the PDA file ended in tar instead of md5, which I wasn't sure if it would affect it or not. My phone installed CWM 5.0.2.7, but I couldn't install the deodexed prerooted rom. And according to root checker I'm not properly rooted. When I try installing any rom at all I get "E:/Can't install from /sdcard/(insert rom file here)...Installation aborted" Now what?
Ok I'm only bumping this because nobody replied. I really need some help please!

Should the file be called "cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g" or "cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar"? Because the video shows it end in tar, but my file doesn't. When I rename it, it's still a zip file.
Never mind, I figured it doesn't need to end in .tar because Odin adds it anyway. I still got the same error! This is what I did (my drivers are already installed):
1. Downloaded the ROM to my computer, transferred it to my phone
2. I turned off mass storage and turned off my phone
3. I put the CWM file in a separate folder, as well as the two Odin files
4. Opened Odin as Administrator
5. Unchecked auto reboot, as well as made sure everything was unchecked
6. Set the CWM PDA file
7. Connected my phone to the computer
8. Put my phone in Download Mode
9. When my phone appeared, I pressed start
10. It was successful, so I removed the battery and put it back in
11. CWM started successfully, I cleared my caches for good measure
12. When I installed the zip from SD Card, this is exactly what I get (I will convert to MTD later):
-- Installing: /sdcard/Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package... (Here it freezes, as well as the progress bar, for up to at most 20 seconds)
E:Can't open /sdcard/Deodexed-FC09-BML.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Help me, what should I do?
Sounds like a bad download. Try to download or try The Peoples ROM from the development section.

That's what I thought, but every ROM I try to install gives me this problem
Have you tried to reformat your sd card? Can be done from the phone or your pc.

Hey man, it seems to me that your phone is already on MTD, since you say you were running CM10, and yet you are trying to push BML files through with Odin and flash them in CWM.
I would install CM10 again (by flashing the zip in CWM) and if that doesn't work then I would Odin back to FC09 and check 'repartition' in Odin while doing so.
I know you wrote that you had Odin'd back to stock already, but if you didn't repartition back to BML when doing so then that's probly what's wrong.

I did repartition to BML, but thanks anyway, turns out I did need to reformat my SD Card. Everything worked fine after that. Thanks for the help!

I need some help.
My SD card is maxed full and I need to wipe my phone back to day one.
I was wanting to know, if it is safe to do a factory wipe to basically nothing on it.
I need to completely format my SD card and restore to stock.
Any help from anyone out there would be greatly apprectiated.
If you have a rom ready to go, then yes.

I completely erased the phone and sd card via usb storage after reflashing UCLJ3 stock, then after re-reflashing UCLJ3 stock via odin again, I checked the SD card, and both are COMPLETELY empty
Now, to use the recovery.tar.md5 for touch recovery and flash dbrannon and I's rom and start testing all our updates without worry!
OK so recently I formatted my data on internal memory and when I went to reboot my phone it wouldn't go past the galaxy s4 screen! So I reboot into recovery and tried wiping cache and dalvick but nothing worked to get me past the s4 screen so I rebooted back into recovery and did a clean flash of the I'm using and everything seemed ok got my phone all setup again but when I try to just do a simple reboot it still won't go past the s4 screen?!? The only thing that fixes it is clean flashing my ROM again I'm not sure what is going on but I would just like to be able to reboot my phone! Any help would be great!!
You mean you formatted your internal SD?

Formatting internal SD may have mess up your partitions, boot img may be no good or missing.

If this is the case, using Odin to restore to complete stock should fix it as it will include teh pit file that restores the partitions.
That's right what Skipjacks said.

Yea its weird the only way I'm able to Reboot my phone is I have to boot into recovery then wipe cache and it'll reboot fine but at the moment i don't have a computer to fix it so I just gotta deal with it and also the only way to flash a new ROM is by formatting internal SD again and clean flashing to get it to flash right
