OK my PC froze and rebooted in the ODIN modem flash process. Now my phone only has a solid blue light in the top right corner (status light)
I can't get to odin download mode, or android recovery.
Any help here?
do you have a usb jig to force it into download mode? sorry to say man but you might be bricked. try taking out your battery and push the power button and hold with battery out for like 10 minutes. leave the battery out for another 20. hook it up to your computer with no battery try to put it in download mode again. if that doesn't work you may need a jtag as its more than likely hard bricked.
usb jig?
I will try those right now.
Thank you very much for your info

Unplug your phone and remove the battery, put the battery back in, try to put it back in download mode. If that doesn't work you will have to take it to sprint and hope they exchange it, I think I answered this question earlier today.

I've tried pulling the battery. Same thing, just blue light.
It has a bad ESN, can't go back to sprint. Samsung maybe...
I found the jig you were talking about, I bought one on ebay. Fingers crossed that'll work for me.
ya you might need to have it jtag. good luck man hope you don't need to do that man
jtag?
What's that?
Essentially it means pay somebody with special equipment to flash your phone. It is a hardware-level connection used to flash but often isn't exported in a nice easy to use interface once a device goes into production.

First things first you are supposed to put the modem in the PDA slot, in fact i have seen K0nane say it really doesn't even matter with the modem.
1. Did your battery have some charge left before it died?
2. Have you tried using odin without the battery in?
Try this:
Disconnect USB Cable (if Connected)
Remove Battery
Reconnect USB Cable
Hold 1
Press power
If this doesn't work, then you're probably looking at a hardware replacement.

I have had my Epic for few months now, and have yet to encounter this error. Today both my parents decided to buy the Epic's (woot 3 epics in the house), and so I go and try to Root it for them. I go to the first one, and put CWM 3.1.0.1 on it. Everything goes fine, I reboot into CWM, everything dandy, shutdown and go into download mode (Hold 1 then press power button), done this many times. But here came the problem. Odin has failed during the flash and now the phone shows (Phone ---- ! ---- Computer) display when I try to boot it up or try to go into CWM. So I have tried Odin again with download mode, I did get the yellow download screen, but Odin keeps failing. I have tried different USB ports/cables. Different pit files and modems, including EB13, EC05 and EH06. And I am sure the files work, as I have just tried the second phone, and everything went fine. ... So yeah... uh... Attached are two screenies.
This is my Odin Print out
And this is the screen I get
NVM, got it to work using this :

There is still hope. Take out the battery and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Leave the battery out and plug the USB into the computer and then hold the "1" key on the keyboard and then press and hold the power button. It should get you back into download mode.

Well, the true fix for me is the Battery is bad somehow... I can Odin like nothing if I take the battery out, but the second the battery is in and I try to Odin, it Fails... is this the case for you guys?

I think that is caused by whether your computer has a powered or non-powered USB port.
no, because I have Odined 2 other Epics on the exactly same cable and same USB port, so it has nothing to do with that. It was truly just the battery.

Did you try swapping the battery from the other Epic and see if it truly is interfering somehow?
I was in process of rooting Epic 4G touch in ODIN and the cable got disconnected. I don't think "Re-partition" flag was on but I may be wrong.
Phone is completely dead. Only blue light blinks while trying to turn on.
I mean - there is no recovery/CWM/not even download mode. ;(
Can anything be done?
Do you have a jig?

I don't.

First time in 10 years I brick a phone to point of no return!
Now lets try if TEP works...
try removing battery from phone , place battery back in phone , put it on the charger for about an hour see if you than get into odin mode again
Let me know what you end up doing.
Samsung Epic 4g Touch - Calkulin's v1.1
My only option was jtag service. He charged me 30 bucks. I renamed the wrong file and flashed i9000 firmware on my phone (smh.), thought it was a goner.
in my experience, if you can't get into download mode, force your phone into download mode with a jig, or get into recovery, send it off for repair.
I sent it to the guys at mobiletechvideos.com

By the way, what happens when you try and enter download mode?
Sent from the future.
When I finish restore my back up, I reboot my phone and it get brick (JUGG 5.0)!!! I cannot even press any button to turn the screen on!! Already try with different charger, battery and sim card also!! Does someone have any idea please!!
Try the long power button press. Press the power button and hold it for like 10 seconds (Maybe more, it always feels more then 10 seconds). The phone should vibrate 3 times and then you release.
If that doesn't work, then see if you can get into download mode and get Odin to recognize your phone.
I already try, I press it nearly 1 minute, but the screen doesn't turn on!
what exactly are you doing? you were making a backup in cwm, it finished and then you rebooted?
I flash a new Rom, but I don't like it. So I use Darkside Superwipe to wipe all cache and data of that Rom so that I can do the back up. After the back up process is finished,(I see everything runs well). I reboot the phone and it gets brick.

I am not quite understanding. You made backup, or did you restore a backup that you previously made? Anyways, If the phone wont boot try to put in in dl mode and odin it back to stock.

Before you try to odin it, can you get into cwm by holding the volume up, down, and power. Release power when first samsung logo appears. stay holding vol buttons until cwm pops up. can you get into this?

You most likely are hard bricked, but you still have a slight chance to get into download mode. Not sure how you managed a brick by restoring a backup, but I'll try to help.
Ok, you are going to need the drivers for your phone. http://www.mediafire.com/file/6onrjbyd46j4lhj/T-Mobile_t989_GSII_ADB_Drivers.zip
You need odin as well, download it. http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
These links were provided by KonstantinKeller
Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and make an account. I use sammobile because it contains everything in one shot. No need to get radio and crap from other places. After you make an account go to firmware section and type t989 in the search box. download the t989uvkid. ASSUMING YOU HAVE AMERICAN T989
After you have completed the download you are going to need to unzip it with 7zip to extract the tar.
Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding buttons when the ''Warning'' appears.
Press Volume UP and start ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
Click PDA and locate the MD5 file you extracted earlier.
WAIT FOR ODIN TO RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. THE COM PORT WILL TURN YELLOW AND HAVE A NUMBER
MAKE SURE NOTHING BUT AUTO REBOOT IS CHECKED!!!!!!!
Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
phone will reboot automatically.
If you can't get the phone to be recognized try different usb ports or a different computer if you have another. This may not work at all, considering it sounds like you are hard bricked. Good luck!
I should download T989UVKID or T989UVKL1? I think my phone get android 2.3.6

You can go to the tmobile store and tell them it wont turn on. you wont need your insurance plan, the phone carries a warranty against defects for 1 year. Just play dumb and say it wont turn on and demand a new phone.

Yes, sir, please get into that mode for me but first make sure your phone is off and then i'll guide you through the rest.
BTW: Are you at a computer? This requires you to download a stock image for your device which is around ~600MB.

I have the tar file in PDA on ODIN, but I can't get my device into download mode because it won't respond. I tried hitting start on Odin anyway but nothing happened.
I was thinking I could tell my computer somehow the device is my phone but I'm not sure if that would help without it being in download mode.
Edit: I'm reading through the post and discovered people in a similar position to me, my charging light does turn on red with no battery in. I'll see if there's some magic fix on that thread somewhere.

Okay so we need to focus on getting your phone into DL mode. Pull the battery for one minute and hold the power button down for ten seconds; re-insert the battery and try to get into DL mode again.

If you're sure you can't get into download mode then your best bet is to get a USB jig. They're fairly inexpensive, i'll link you one. This jig has good reviews and works for pretty much any Samsung device with DL mode:
