So, i rooted using one click root 2.5.x and i have cwm 2.5.1.0 and i flashed the deodex tool which worked, then i flashed the 6 lockscreen mod, which worked, so i then tried to advanced restore my backup that i had made as soon as i rooted, and now i cant get past the samsungmobile boot screen. I tried, wiping data/factory reset in cwm, clearing all kinds of caches, reflashing the deodexing tool, and nothing works. anything i can do besides odin?

+1, see why you should of did this along time ago, you would know what you were doing by now j/k, I know you won't take offence to that... Sometimes if it gets stuck at sammy screen you can try re-installing which ever ROM you were trying to install, I seen this maybe 10 out of the over 500 flashes, no BS... It can happen for a couple reasons...
Sent from my MyEC05OCE v2 using XDAPA...
So you rooted...and then went nuts throwing everything on your phone you can get your hands on...LOL.
You could also have tried reflashing your ROM or did uou just do a kernel?
Thanks for all yhe suggestiond guys, i will try them later. and i didnt throw a bunch of stuff at it, just what i needed for the lockscreen mod.

how does your topic title relate to your question?
but the only way a hard reset wont go back to stock is if you put a diff rom on there,so just flash a stock rom back
what rom are you using to flash with odin?

Make sure superuser is deleted as well. You will still be stuck on whatever modem you are on. I think if it is not EC05 it will mess up the OTA updates.

MTD? Then you are screwed. You can't get back to stock without Odin or Heimdall. You need to repartition. BUT there is an MTD version of the FB15 leak which should look enough like stock to get you through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522816
That is the best you can do. You should also do the 2 flashable modems to get you to EL30 and delete Superuser before you bring it in.

It depends on how interested the tech is in making sure it is not a software problem. There are a few horror stories about accounts getting flagged but most of the time the techs don't care. Just smile a lot...lol.

Whatever stock-ish MTD rom you flash, make sure you flash data, (factory reset) if you're returning it, might as well.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
This thread scares the hell out of me. A bad USB port on your epic is a fatal blow to your potential sprint insurance coverage. I cant think of anything worse, especially if your on MTD. Although, if your paying for insurance, i dont think it should really matter what firmware/rom you have on your device.
To the OP, you should be fine. As long as you can make it look at stock as possible, the average sprint employee is not smart enough to get into specifics. They are usually pretty cool about it. As a matter of fact, the tech at my local sprint store put gingerbread on my phone a week before it was released using odin (this was before I knew anything about flashing or rooting), most of the tech's do exactly what we do, so dont sweat it too much.

The one I posted a few posts back (post 16) by Bbelos is the closest to complete stock for MTD. Just delete superuser when done. Then you are only left with CWM recovery as evidence.
I had my phone rooted and running the Darkside ROM " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473077 " and I installed the new ported ICS from the Skyrocket " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566811 " and now my phone is stuck on the Samsung logo and won't do anything else. I pull the battery and doesn't work. I have CWM installed and it does not go to it either. I've searched and can't find anything. Help me on this please

Do not flash unstable roms. I usually wait for official stable roms and making a nand backup before doing anything.

If you want to use the skyrocket port use DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE! I was having the same problem then i started from scratch, did the super wipe, installed the skyrocket rom and it runs perfect for me.

Note for future: use the backup feature in recover before flashing things you aren't sure of.
The backup in recovery is referred to as a nandroid if you didn't know already, it will always bring you back to exactly how your phone previously was. This way you won't have to ever ODIN to stock.

Hi all,
My phone's USB port does not work at all. I need to get the stock software back on to take it back to Sprint, but cannot use Odin to do so (because of the bad USB port).
I tried flashing the FL24 tar file (from Rwilco12's repository) using Mobile Odin (I checked wipe cache & dalvik, and selected the file in the "System" button), but I must've done something wrong because it wouldn't boot, and CWM recovery was still there. So I restored my last backup.
Any input on why the flash didn't take? Did I use the wrong tar file? Am I doing something wrong in Mobile Odin?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! =)

I have not had to do this, but I'm thinking that if you flash an ICS or GB rom in recovery, you might be able to upgrade to the latest stock OTA available in settings>updates
I think you need Mobile Odin Pro to flash that. Mobile Odin free will only flash kernals, at least mine will only flash kernals.

What's your goal? Upgrade or replacement? That drives much of the answer, as expediency is the driver here. Your phone having a busted USB port limits your options at the store. If it's upgrade, just wipe the dang thing from CWM, remove your SD card and call it a day. You've got a real shot at getting a nominal amount of credit for a busted phone towards a new one. If it's replacement, your options are entirely different.

I decided I'm just going to take micmars's suggestion and wipe the thing in recovery. Initially, I was trying to get the phone replaced because I wanted to delay my upgrade for a few months until the new s5 or maybe the Nexus 5 came out, but I decided just to upgrade tomorrow when I'm eligible and get the Note 2 (can't justify Sprint's ridiculous $350 on-contract price tag for the Note 3).
Again, thanks for everyone's help and input!

Pillzbury if you're like me and hate when something doesn't work and want to know how and why...
You could have put the fl24 stock rom on the sdcard..
Then used mobile Odin and el29 direct boot kernel...once in el 29 recovery flash stock rom... should be good to go...
Glad you got it figured out anyway... like I said..micmars the man..
