Epic 4G Touch - Can not restore to factory ROM - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

First Android phone and experience rooting, tried google'ing couldn't find anything. So hopefully someone where can help.
I rooted my phone previously and lost WiFi ... Everything else works perfectly except WiFi turns on, scans, can't find any networks and shuts off. Now I just want to go back to stock factory ROM until I can research another rooting method.
I used this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20956793 and get through the whole process but it stays on "Establishing Connection" then Odin just says "FAILED". Below is my info of the phone, could someone help me out here, either provide a link or another method... I haven't tried the 3 step process of restoring each kernel, rom and modem yet, as I'm not exactly sure how to do that ... Do I just pick "PDA" then load all three file in Odin at once, then start the process??

Model Number: SPH-D710
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: S710.10.EK02
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EK02
Hardware Revision D710.10

I followed this video exactly, and it worked fine.

Some things that can cause errors in odin if the video above doesnt work:
- Try a different micro usb cable
- Try a different usb port
- Try removing the sd card
- uninstall/reinstall the drivers
- Try removing the battery
One thing to note, if odin says pass but the phone doesn't reboot... pull the battery and power down, then boot into stock android recovery and wipe data/factory reset (this process is also shown in the video @ 6:15).

BTW ... If there is another Rooted ROM with working WiFi( and everything else ) then I'd be happy to try using Odin to get to that ROM instead of Stock. Really just need WiFi back for now.
Thanks again!

[Q] Can't Flash Modem

My Phone
Model #: SPH-D710
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: UNKNOWN
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734
Build #: Tnz BLEND v1.4
Hardware Version: UNKNOWN
I bought the phone second hand with the Tnz rom installed and it worked fine. I tried to flash CM9 with ODIN and it failed. I restored it and now I have no signal. Now I can't get ODIN to recognize the phone on either my desktop or laptop with any of my 3 data cables and when I try to flash a modem in CWM v5.0.2.7 (Using the .zip from the Wiki) it gets all the way to the end and then I get this message:
Code:
script aborted (no error messege) E:Error in /emmc/update-modem-EG30-FULL-CWM.zip
(Status 7)
Installayion aborted
I checked the zip with winrar both on on my computer and when it's on the phone and it checks out. At this point I'm out of ideas so any help would be greatly appreciated
Why not start over.
Download the EL26+CWM kenel [http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/defa...Chris41g\ACS\ZIP&filename=EL26_StockACS5.zip], the EL29 modem [http://www.buildarom.com/E4GT/Modems/E4GT_Modem_EL29.zip] and something like Calkulin's stock rooted EL29 [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837] Copy them to the SD card (on you computer) then put the SD card into the device, Flash the EL26+CWM. Use that CWM (EL26 one) to factory reset.
Then install the modem. Then the ROM. and see what happens.
Hope you didn't use ROM manager by the way - that's a BIG no no.
You might be in trouble.
Can you boot into download mode? If you can use EL29 oneclick to get back to stock.
Thank you both for your quick replies.
I was able to flash the kernel but when I tried to flash the modem I got the same error message. The 1-click recovery won't recognize my phone in download mode, just like ODIN.
I think I'm in trouble :crying:

Yeah u may have bricked....cm9 isn't an Odin type flash. Everytime someone says their PC won't recognize the phone they wind up bricked. Read through the how not to brick your phone thread in general and hopefully someone found a workaround.
Can you get into a cwm recovery even with volume up+power? Not the stock one, but a custom recovery without the android in the background.

Well shoot, guess its time to start digging....
Yes I can boot into CWM, that's what I was using to try and flash things.

If you made a nand, hope u did, try and flash that. If not then try a safe gb rom from your sd card. Can't be worse than what u have already.

I have had some kind of luck playing around with the nv_data files using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
I browsed my EFS directory and created blank nv_data files with root explorer.
After the reboot I had empty signal bars come up at the top and my Baseband fields filed out with the correct version and with my IMEI back.
This however only lasted about a minute before I got a crossed out circle for the signal and I back to Unknown values for the versions.
I had my phone connected to the PC the whole time and I also noticed my PC was repeatedly making the sound that it recognized a usb device (samsung mobile modem diagnostic serial port, I believe) until the phone lost the bars and went back to Unknown values.
Now my pc won't even detect the samsung diagnostic modem at all.
Also when I try to go into Setting -> About phone -> Status, I get a force close of com.android.phone

what cm9 zip did you flash! what is the file name? did you get it from cyanogenmod.com?
I fixed my issue via tips from other threads
I odin flashed stock gingerbread
After boot, I was prompted for sprint update to FF18, which I let run while I was searching out FF18 modem.
Then Odin 1.85 flashed ff18 modem in phone slot with EFS clear & reboot checked
After reboot, signal bars were back & phone initiated activation
hope this helps someone else

I just had this same issue -- tried to flash a modem and booted back up and no service, unknown baseband version, etc etc. I thought I had bricked it, but I managed to nurse it back to health. Here's what I did:
Went to the recover from bad flash topic in Dev forum and flashed that (though it doesn't flash a modem)
Then flashed FH13 modem
Then flashed Blue Kuban ROM (which is based on FH13)
Then booted into that and I have signal and baseband is recognized as FH13
Baseband Hardware "Unknown" Fix
Just had this same problem, 30k ft. overview of issue; I was messing around with flashing NV-items in DFS and reset RF and must have loaded the wrong .ncf file or something, not sure, and ended up with the same problem. Baseband and hardware versions are "unknown". Tried your fix with fix bad flash topic in DEV and FH13 modem with blue kuban with no luck. Still unknown versions. When I review the cutany app with serial and read the model it is reading out: GT s5 670_EUR and this is the SPH-D7710 Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G. SO......umm...
I have tried:
- flashing a few other roms and modems. no luck
- tired editing the NV items. but can't get back into Diag mode. (may try above post.)
- reset the ##7886#
- wiped /efs and restored it.
- went to stock EK02 unrooted
- rooted and unrooted
-
Thoughts:
- maybe get the right firmware radio/ hardware and manually flash them (where to get them or what is it that i need?.)?
- edit the build.prop to get a different build that fits the model?
- some how trying to fix com.android.phone? not sure how it works?
- some how, wipe every thing on root? and start over? not sure this can happen?
- read-only error when trying to edit root dir, ? have adb
So in summary I need some direction asap!

I had a similar issue and finally fixed by first flashing the oldest working nandroid backup I had, then flashing stock sprint gingerbread (unrooted - as if I would be returning to a sprint store) using one click (available here on xda) which restores system to out of box state.
I had to switch out to different usb cable AND a different usb port to get comm port to be recognized. I also restored a QPST backup.
After reboot, baseband & IMEI were restored. Sprint prompted to install system update, which I believe corrected the other remaining glitches.
I then flashed FF18 and all is well now, except...
I did discover day or so later that usb charging port is going --- I suspect that may have contributed to the freaky disappearing baseband.
Perhaps a bad connection (yikes!) during one of my marathon flashing sessions.
Now having port replaced.

Sounds like you are heading in the right direction(s) for a possible fix.
You can't get into diag on some ROMs because you can't access them via the dialer and/or they are not there and/or supported.
What I'd do first is use one of sfhub's One-clicks and do a full reset. (I'd probably choose FF18 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229).
One other thing I'd mention is to check the md5sum on EVERY download. Bad downloads are the cause of SO many issues.
Then, once it's back up 'Activate this phone' then try a update PRL and Update Profile.
Again this is what I would do. You could spend days trying to figure it out and not get the solution. But if you'd like to use your phone why not bite the bullet; do a full wipe and make sure your phone works as, well a phone.
Then add a safe CWM kernel (Agat 5.4 or rujelus22 1.8) via sfhub's Autoroot or Mobile Odin.
From there you can then mess with other ROMs, modems and kernels. Check out rwilco's repository for modems and kernels. He's done a great job of organizing and putting together CWM flashable zips, tars and One-Clicks
Good Luck!

Lol "during one of my marathon flashing sessions"!! started this journey at 4pm PST today.
Thus far>
- Back to stock unrooted applied all updates ota (wifi) at FF18 4.0.4b (IMM761.FF18)
- reviewed my anycut serial number still says 1. model GT-s5670_EUR with blank imei and s/n (this may have been from the bad NV flash in DFS?
- will try QPST restore my.qcn file,
HOW did you get into Diag mode? tried ##8778# with CP and ALL but QSPT still can not find my usb connection? so I can restore the qcn?
OH wow, was this flashed with an international version!? Looks like it.
You may need a jtag repair or replacement.
Did you try flashing with regular Odin - not the one click downloader - and checking the EFS clear option?
There is another one that someone mentioned but I can't recall what it was now that will force the NVDATA back to factory setting. I'll see if I can find it.
Thanks, been working on this one for almost 18hrs. Have a timer going. Might be a new record...I'm sure of it that the root of all evil here was DFS and the lack of programing literature, basically trial and error, just in this case more error then trial....
I spoke with a tech in the Sprint back repair center reaching out into the dark here for the lowest guy on the ladder, not much help, but just gave it a shot in the dark with all honesty, and technically they are not skilled to handle this kind of thing, they have manual programing ability with some internal portal software, but not Samsung hardware programing or chip Qualcomm tools. (not sure that is the issue here) basically said exchange it for a referb. Or find hardware firmware or something..Wasn't sure what to say....
So about to toss in a towel here, but, yes tried using different odin's and clearing efs. Also tried again to delete /esf and place /efs.bak with edited nv_data.bin etc.. from other topics. I have a back up of my nvf file from DFS demo. I just can't get to the port to flash it on CP mode, as it will not connect. I don't know were the files go within root to replace them manually?? Some how have a hunch that its a simple copy and paste or delete edit some where.
The wrong model no. is what is driving me off the wall, maybe though the phone usb with some other software (NVFlash? ANYONE know if that needs Daig mode of just a usb to root access? Also maybe ADB shell cp those specific modems and flash files for that EURO model?.humm..
(Thinking out-loud here, but I think it is possible to in theory to flash other phone model and have them working on different networks if the hardware provides it. Would be cool idea and ultimate hack to get the Mifi and clone it to E4gT or find a way to tape it to the back of your epic for $34.99 all you need is data to use SIP Droid and G voice for all voice and text and the SIP following you as long as your either on good wifi or a 3g data connection, not sure about 1x and SIP but if you lived in a good coverage area this would work great no more $100 bills, otherwise Boost Mobile for $15 a month for data Pay as you go using SIP..Cool Technology these days pretty soon there will be no more cell phone channels it will all be data..
That's about it for me, maybe one more hour of reading posts and googling for any other leads to fix this mess, other wise hale marry and turnover on the 20 yard line for this one man team.
Thanks to all that replied.

[Q] Att S3 Wont Connect to Computer

I currently rooted using the latest version of the Sons of Android ROM. Last night I made a back-up of it and flashed the Synergy ROM to test it for a friend. When I restored my back-up, I could no longer connect to the computer. I tried to reinstall the drivers through Kies and also direct from Samsung. The phone charges when connect to the USB port, but does not connect. I have tried two computer so I think it is the phone.
I search the forums and didnt find anything that help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

Thank you!
make sure you're using the factory cable for the device.
try another USB port, preferably a port directly connected to the computers motherboard.
delete the current USB drivers for your phone on the computer. reboot it. in task manager, stop any kies background processes. reinstall drivers. reboot and see if that takes.

Did you make a nandroid of the previous rom ? Flash back to that . Flashing any rom made for the NA version of the Galaxy s3 will NOT brick your phone. NO physical damage will happen in any way.
Yes check the cord to make sure its not that....samsung phones are picky....even with the same cord.
Fast charge is usually in the kernel settings menu. It will be something you would had to enable, I've never seen it come enabled on a rom. What kernel are you on ? I don't think you see that setting on TW based rom's anyway ( I assume you are on SoA right now?)
Have you tried to do a complete wipe and flash another rom ?

I have a nandroid of my stock (after rooted) ROM, but it is on my computer now, not on the phone so I cant access it. I also had a nandroid of Sons of Android that was connecting just fine before I flashed Synergy ROM. I restored the Sons of Android ROM (nandroid) that was still on my external SD card and that didnt fix it.
I just did a complete wipe (Cache, Davlik Cache, System, Factory Reset, and Internal Memory), then installed the Wicked ROM with the stock kernel. It still doesnt work.
I tried two different cord on two different computers with no luck.
Thank you!

Completely remove the drivers on your PC and reinstall again. Also if you have kies remove that first.

USB Debugging is currently enabled, but I have tried it both ways.
I also am noticing my data connection is really, really slow, much slower than normal. I looked under the Synergy ROM and there was some talk of needing to reflash modem and bluetooth when reverting to a stock kernel. Could this be the problem?
Thanks!
You could try mobile Odin and flash the rooted stock that way... Its a shot
You have to use a .tar file though

Last night I flashed the KT747 kernel because it has updated USB drivers, but it still didnt work.
I still have to believe that something went wrong when flashing the other night because that is when it stop work, but I am starting to think it is a hardware issue. It is very wierd!
Thank you!
Do you get any error when plugging it? I had a similar issue last week until I updated Windows.

Nope, no error message. It just doesnt reconize it is there. I have tried three computers (Windows 7 - 64 Bit & (2) XP 32 Bit) and three different cords.
This sucks! Now I am hearting it from all the iPhone users.
Thanks!

I hope we are getting closer!
When is use the *#7284#, I get the UART section that is on PDA and I cant change it.
Under the USB section I have button that says "Qualcomm USB Settings" with a whole punch of options:
MTP
MTP + ADB
PTP
PTO + ADB
RNIS + DM + MODEM
RMNET + DM + MODEM
DM + MODEM + ADB
Should I use one of these settings?
Thank you!

You should have two options, MODEM and PDA. Mine is set to MODEM.
Still no luck! Very Frustrating!
I used Mobile Odin to flash back completely to stock, and the usb still would not connect. I do not know what else to do. I will have to remove the SD Card and use a card reader for now. I can flash back to stock when if I want to take it in and get it fixed or replaced.

did u already try another cable, I had over 5 cables that suddenly stopped working for no reason, only charges but it doesn't connect to the pc..
so try another cable is my suggestion.

Baseband & Hardware Version: unknown

I cannot get my phone to connect via CP mode. When I check my settings it says the baseband version is unknown. I am thinking maybe this is the problem? Wifi does work though. I have tried reflashing the rom and just the modem in both odin and cwm but it still says unknown. Hopefully there is a way to recover from this and get it reconnected but I am trying everything I can think of and search for and am coming up empty. Could really use some help here and really appreciate it.
R u on Stock TW or some kind of ROM? this happened to me after i installed KIES into my PC. If u did, just use the samsung usb drivers, not kies.
If y you want help, you need to provide more info on your phone model, rom your using, what you tried, and carrier.

Phone Model: Sprint Epic 4g Touch SPH-D710
Roms I have tried: SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED, EL29_Rogue_ET-Stock-1.1.4, SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Stock_Restore
Modems I have tried: EL29
Drivers: Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_phones_v1.5.14.0
It was working fine at one point and then stopped. Since then I have done a system restore on the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a number of times, flashed those different roms trying to get it back, tried to install the modem by CWM and Odin, did many factory resets, cleared data and cache 3x a bunch of times.
Phone will connect in AP mode or ALL (but only AP), CP mode won't connect. ##786# gives me "Modem Error: Modem exceptions occurs". When I go into about phone it says both Baseband version and Hardware version are unknown. I did not do a nand backup probably should have. I have been trying to read up on this but still haven't had any luck so am turning hear hopefully for help.
I also noticed when I enter the command to check MEID that it is blank. I really really hope there is some way to recover from this but hours and hours of searching hasn't lead me any closer to the solution.
I really need help I just can't get this fixed. I can flash whatever rom I want but baseband and hardware version remain unkown. I have tried re-partioning with pit file but if I do it alone it just resets the phone and if I do it with a rom it fails. I could really really use some help here please.

Have you tried a full restore One-click , say GB27) it will completely wipe all partitions and install the modem?

Yes I have tried dozens of times with lots of different roms and while it says writing modem it doesn't stick. I have tried flashing just the modem and still unkown. I have tried re-partion with pit file but it just rests the phone. When I try to flash with pit file and rom it fails.
Ok this is more than bizarre, I managed to fix it but have no idea how. I tried erasing EFS when I flashed a new rom but it failed so I used el29 one click thinking I needed a clean rom on it first and upon reboot it now has hardware and baseband version. But this is weird on the home screen on the bottom left in black text is:
Channel
SID MODE
S/W Version
Baseband Ver
H/W Version

I am having the same problem with my xperia U.
Can you be more precise on how you fixed your problem?
I really really need help

[Q] Need help unbricking

This is practically a cry for help after i searched for hours.
Model: Sm-n910P
Software version : Unknown
Android : 4.4.4
Baseband: Unknown
build: PVPU1ANK2
Stock recovery
(if anything else helps just ask)
Problem first: My note 4 has no network of any kind (wifi doesnt start , doesnt recognize sim card )
When i try attaching a usb cable i get Device is not recognized (checked drivers, cables so its software and it's the mobile)
The only communication with the device is via the SD Card.
Tried flashing a stock 4.4.4 via stock recovery. Nope! It says Update from external card is disabled.
I'm looking for a way to root , or flash anything.
Every thought, suggestion, idea is welcomed.

Never been OTA updated to lollipop OE1? That one doesn't allow downgrading to older versions.
Device not recognized with USB in what mode and operation? Security protocols for KitKat and Lollipop are restricted. Device should be recognized in custom recovery or download mode. Did you try Odin? Power down, download mode and flash the NK2 stock tar. If you're still having problems ##786#. Still having issues, try the NIE stock tar. Make sure you power down before flashing stock tars. Link to KitKat tars mentioned above; follow OP, post 1 for instructions.

For root, you need CF Auto Root for Note 4. You can also try TWRP Manager for custom recovery. It's in Google Play. But you don't have to root to flash in Odin. Samsung KIES is alternate method for restoring factory firmware or updates but some are confused by the serial number request; not recognized. Haven't tried it myself.

Tx for the reply.
Device is not recognized in neither mode (normal, download or recovery).
I tried ##786# but i dont know my msl and i cant find a wy to get it (im outside the US so the phone is not activated). I tried some "msl reader find my msl" programs but they cant get it. Any1 has some apk that may work in my case?
As for the flashing as I stated all I need is a way to flash stock but i cant get the PC to recognize the phone so im stuck.
EDIT 1 As far as I know never been updated (bought the phone in ebay)
I don't know if there's anything that can be done but get a refund. Sounds like you bought a brick. Was it always a brick?
Did you try another USB port? Try the rear port. If not, try a hard reset: wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset and try to reboot. Long shot would be a hard reset and OB7 update.zip; unless it's completely stock, the update will be rejected. But I'm thinking that can no longer just be placed on external sdcard. That may have to placed on the file system as if the phone downloaded it, itself.
It's safer to hard reset. If not rebooting to normal operation, time to pursue a refund.

So I was thinking about the situation you're in. I recalled the phone can be unlocked to use internationally on 3G only. Is it unlocked? It would also
need to set your carrier APN/Access points to get data.
If you own the phone, Sprint will give you the MSL number. Sprint can help unlock it and there's also this method but I don't know much about about it. There's also the hard reset method that can be done within settings.
Here's a method that was requested with a pledged bounty. But try Sprint first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
My initial impression was phone is bricked but not sure if a locked phone's WiFi is bound to regional USA that would cause WiFi connection issues? It's still possible the USB issue is not using a USB 2.0 port or a bad cable. It may not be bricked. Try reinstalling driver and/or another PC.

Well I tried everything u mentioned , full factory restore, wipe everything. I even tried update from external (since stock has no option for updating from the internal sd) but i get an error (update from external storage is disabled). The phone is practically a brick for the network part but I'm not sure I can return it back in the states as I'm in Europe. Any way i can root via some apk ?

I didn't think the root is possible without Odin for either the custom recovery or root.
eBay return practice would be to notify seller of issue. If no response, contact eBay.

Wouldnt the entire phone be soft-bricked (not just the network part) if you did the factory reset and wiped your phone but cant get the cable to recognize your phone on your pc ???
Or is that your current situation?
Well everything but network works. I can install apk's from sdcard, open apps etc. Next thing is the screen just got black and is not giving signs of life (didn't do anything it was charging) so it's going in a repair shop. Thanks everyone for the efforts. Case may be considered closed.

As an after thought, have you tried connecting another Samsung phone to the computer?

Question FOLD 4 VBMETA STUCK

I need help as I have no idea what I'm doing or how to fix this. Fold 4 rooted, went to reset phone and lock bootloader but apon restarting the phone I get a screen like attached and I can only boot to this screen and download mode. USB debugging is off and on Odin it displays COM4 but I cannot flash anything as it just says setting up connection. I have no idea what to do as there's nothing online that remotely helps. Been 3h and I'm still just going back and forth on sites ECT.. completely stuck here. I'm not that techy with this type of stuff... I have no idea what I've done wrong I just wanted to reset and flash new firmware with no root and be stock. Never had this happen before and I'm unsure if this is the right place to ask for assistance
Could be a bad download on one of the files, including Odin. That's the first step to troubleshoot this, redownloading the files.

I've redownloaded everything, I have never seen this issue anywhere before I'm losing my mind. Think the whole phone is now ****ed, vannot flash stock firmware, just says setting up connection ect no clue what to do....

It's pretty standard procedure in terms of troubleshooting. What you can also do is download the stock image for the phone. Perhaps something got messed up and needs to be reset with the original stock image.
I've already downloaded a fresh firmware but I cannot flash it as it just sits at setting up connection

Then redownload Odin. IF the files are fine, then Odin is having issues.
You can also try rebooting your computer.
I solved the issue, if you throw it against the ground full force it no longer works and you won't have to worry about it again, easy fix.
Solved the issue BTW, just used a different pc
Try and download the May update and flash it
Were you trying to flash the ROM?

I have a similar Issue but in my case, was the USB cable. I was using a old Samsung USB-A to C cable and I just solved when using a new cable, USB-C/C and the only USB-C port on my desktop...
