help, cant get into recovery - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i tried to install MarcusantROM and now its stuck at the samsung screen and i cant get into recovery...

While device is off, hold down the 1 key on the keyboard and then power button to enter download mode.
Use ODIN to flash CWM.
While device is off, then hold Vol Down + Camera + Power button to get back into recovery.
If all else fails, ODIN back to stock and try again.

Yes after it boots into CWM if you are going to flash Marcussants Rom then dont use the kernel i listed and ONLY flash his rom. It includes a kernel and is all you need

Im not sure what you did but my rom shouldn't cause this. You probably got a bad download. You have to odin with a pit and repartition. Then just flash away.

Need Help Getting Out of ClockWorkMod Screen

I'm stuck on the Clockwork Mod recovery screen. Due to an issue detailed here, the gist of which was accidentally installing a kernel designed for the international Galaxy S2, I no longer can use my home and menu keys, and therefore cannot select anything on the Clockwork recovery screen (i.e. "power off"). Removing and replacing the battery just restarts the phone and takes me back to the Clockwork screen. Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
HZ
use vol up and vol down to navigate. Power to select

You need Odin installed on your PC, and this file I have attached. Turn your phone off, hold down both volume buttons and hook up the USB cable which is already connected to the machine running Odin. Open Odin, and select PDA, find the file you downloaded from this post and select it. Now click start in Odin & violla !
Ahh k will it wipe my data. The reason I asked is since i'm rooted with a stock ROM with clockwork recovery installed,.will I still get ota's.

No it won't wipe your data.
As far as OTAs go, it has to be stock everything.
seems to be stuck and setup connection, does it take a long time?

According to someone no you can't. You need stock recovery to get OTA.
You can flash back to stock recovery by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830

first of all u need to be rooted. or mobile odin wont work. if u are rooted u may already have custom recovery and wont need mobile odin. just do a quick check by holding power and volume up button together til recovery pops up

But what's the steps to getting a ics rom without bricking.......do i need to use mobile Odin to put on shfubs stock el26 kernel?

el29 will work also
I have mobile oden and have used it to flash and reflash just about anything -but like stated eariler in the thread it wont flash the modum. You can flash a custom recovery.if the above process shows stock recovery After you flash the kernal of your choice. I am running FE22 W/ Blue Kubin stock kernal on 1.0.3.4 - have not updated iyet cause i'm waiting to see some of the new mods that are comming out for it!!! So far I found this to be one of the best if not THEEE best rom/kernal I have ran! on my sprint sg2e4gt

[Q] Possible Brick: Is a jig my only hope?

I did a duma$$ move. I flashed a rom on top of a different rom without wiping.
- Phone boots up
- Boot animation displays
- Freezes on 'Android' Screen
- Does not go into Recovery
- Does not go into Download mode
- PC doesn't see it, but pc makes a sound when I plug it in, and drivers attempt to install when I plug in to pc (fail)
- Kies takes a while but I got "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Please try again'
Any and all help is appreciated.

That's what I meant lol sorry about that... At least you knew what I was talking about. The tool kit got my phone into download when nothing else would. It worked even when adb wouldn't Thankfully I only has that problem one time

if you got into download mode and odin'ed back to stock and it gets stuck on the "samsung with the blue logo behind it" boot screen than you have to go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache there and reboot, i had the same problem earlier but mine could get into recovery and download mode but it wouldnt wipe the data it would just turn off whenever i tried to

HOLY S-H-I-T SNACKS! I got into download mode. Rather then pressing Volume UP + Home + Power, I did same but Volume Down, and I'm Golden.
Thanks for all the help and Replys. Love this community. I root because this is what we do. I stand behind those that say Samsungs are damn near impossible to brick.

How'd you do that? I might have the same situation.
to get into the stock recovery you hold volume up and home and the power button at the same time, use the volume keys to move up and down and power button to select than wipe data and cache and reboot
