cant mount internal storage & odin doesn't recognize phone - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm running aokp build 30. i'm wanting to change roms but i can't mount my phone to get a rom onto my internal storage. i'm not sure when it started to not show up to copy the files over. also odin doesn't recognize the phone either. it will charge when hooked up to the pc but i can't do anything with it. any ideas? plz help

it's because you posted in the dev section. if you try posting in the general or questions section, or try posting in the AOKP thread in the general section then your problem will probably get fixed.

He just waited to reach 10 posts to post here ... *sigh*

Man, what a bunch of dicks. Yes, this is the wrong section to be asking this, but not everyone in the world is a bunch of elitist pricks just because they have 1,000 posts in a geek forum. This geek included. NOW, sir, are you getting a pop up that says "charging paused. voltage too high" or something like that? I had a similar problem because I plugged in to a faulty wall socket and it charged my USB port. If it's a hardware issue, you're going to have to take it to Sprint to ge swapped out.

Pretty sure nothing in that post indicated he did it by accident so.....your point of stupidity is moot....any who have you tried switching USB cords/Ports? Also try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. is your internal storage showing up on your phone if so try downloading an el29 ROM such as caulk's stock then flash el26 stock cwm via mobile Odin (it costs a couple bux on the market) then flash the el29 then try using Odin. if you can't see the internal storage from your phone most likely have to take a trip to the sprint store

Downgrade possible? Epic 4g

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Download and flash ec05 with Odin.
Also, this should be in Q&A not Development.

I'm trying to find a way to root my sasung epic 2.3.5 with out a pc first... and its fuking fustrating me the hell out
Check the stickies for odin instructions, I think the wiki has links also.
Get odin on your pc, and the driver. Download a 2.2 build tar for odin.
Put the phone into download mode by holding 1 and hitting power from off, plug into usb and flash a 2.2 tar file with odin.
Bottom line is you're gonna need a PC boss.

Mobile odin would probably work... get mobile odin from the market and download all the neccessary files and use it just as you would with odin on the pc... never tried it but mobile odin is supposed to work the same as pc odin..
Edit- looks like you need root... sorry... pc is the only way... find a friend with a pc.

For one, I don't know who you're referring to as "most of us." Most DO have a pc. And when he said "pc", I don't think he meant windows only. There is heimdall as well. Just because you don't see the point doesn't mean there's magically a different solution. Don't get snippy with someone trying to help.
Gingerbreak was the only root-from-phone option, and I know of noone having luck with it on our phones.
As mentioned, your best bet is a friend with a computer... which "all of us" have.
And again as mentioned, this is not a development thread. Putting "noob" in your name does not excuse it. If you've been here long enough to post in development, then you know what does and doesn't belong here.
Someone please move this thread to Q&A.

So I have wired tether 1.4 from the google code website. I can't seem to get it to work though. What version are ya'll using?
Rather than everyone make a new thread for every question about CM9 there is a tip sharing thread in General that a lot of helpful people visit all the time and Jdelano is the man at reasearching and getting you answers right here in Q&A:

I understand. That is why I said it was not really directed at you. Sometimes you have to take the direct approach like this. I only use wireless tether myself. Sorry. Wasn't there an issue with the stock kernel and you had to use shadowkernel or something like that?

OK, you got me curious so downloaded Clockworkmod tether from the market and the PC drivers. I am typing this tethered on CM9 with it right now. I haven't used a wired tether since PDAnet before rooting so was a little rusty.
OK someone owes me a beer. I spent the last hour getting wired tether 1.4 working on CM9. IMPORTANT: USB debugging must be off. With cable unplugged and usb debugging off start the Wired Tether 1.4. Click to start tethering. Now connect the cable to the PC. It will install drivers (again...I know). When it completes the driver installation a new network will appear and $$$ Profit.

Stock, rooted ff02. It was working fine yesterday and now all of a sudden I can't connect to the XP machine either. XP says it's finding the hardware but the drives are not showing up. The found new hardware wizzard keeps coming up also.
Nothing on the Mac, nothing on the PC.
USB Cable is really an issue on my Mac's. I have a cable that works on my PC's but it will not work on any of my Mac's. Also, sometimes a restart of both the Mac and the Phone helps.
Try swapping USB cable out if possible....and hook up the USB cable directly to the iMac, not the keyboard.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch
It switches the USB mode on the phone, after a phone reboot, in ics, to mass storage mode. I have a mb on lion but I'm on gb. I'm not sure if that is what you're asking. I know the USB cable that came with the phone is utter crap. I paid about twenty bucks for the sprint micro USB cable, but its built very well and doesn't look crappy quality either. I've NEVER had a problem on any phone using that cable. Also, try a reboot of the phone and/or Mac and try a different USB port.
I vote ignorance!!

Hey guys i have been having some real trouble working with sgs2 its a real pain now...I have a corrupted hard disk and its write protected doesn't allow to flash anything and i have tried every damn procedure even pushing it through the adb but the administrator does not allow to read it. I can flash nothing on it and the worst part is i cant even brick it even through odin. My friend who is a developer himself and works at telus wasnt able to do anything himself...Tried that even.. The phone is rooted and running Juggernaut 5.0 along with darkside kernel. It has been almost two months now since this problem has persisted...Is there any way i can brick my phone like hard brick that the phone does not turn on or just show black screen i want to get it replaced still have warranty..i paid 590 bucks for this phone and cant even sell it since i cant erase the memory. Please help me out with it.

[Q] Help Rooting, Newbie about to throw phone out window

Hi Ya'll!
I wanted new features, bigger screen size, all the "Droid Does" that apple doesn't BS and now I regret it a lot. After just 6 months of using the phone, it used up every ounce of memory so that nothing works. I deleted practically every app that this stupid phone would allow, removed pictures, deleted text messages, everything I could safely remove I did, and to my laughing surprise, it still is crashing and having memory problems. I have deleted so much of my own input to the phone that it is practically brand new with regard to the I have installed on it and yet, still it has these problems.
Anyway, The Actual Problem: I watched this youtube video called "How to Root Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II Easily!" and I downloaded Odin and I downloaded the CF Rooting file and extracted it (the .rar and extracted to .tar). I open Odin, the phone is connected, I open the .tar file into the PDA section and it runs, but I get a red box that says fail. I did some more research and discovered that maybe I was using the wrong .tar file, so I downloaded a different .tar file. The next time I try to run the new .tar file, it doesn't respond like at all. I close everythign out and try again, and now it won't even pick up the phone in odin. My phone is currently stuck on that stupid black screen with the android guy and it says "downloading... do not turn off target!!" What do I do now? I can go either way at this point, but really, would anyone like to buy this? or at least get it back to working again (albeit very slow and I . I hate this phone.
Mod Edit
If I had to guess, you flashed the wrong file and have a brick on your hands...
Its an operator error, not the phone. .
Never flash anything if you are not 100% sure its the right thing and you know the ins and outs of what you are doing..
I think towards the top there is a stock recovery file, if not, google it and go from there...
But to summarize, its not the phones fault. .

As mentioned above ...you have most likely damaged your internal partitions by using software not intended for your device..
The device can be repaired by sending it to mobiletechvideos.com...(Google it)..and having the device partitions repaired...
They use a JTAG device or even possibly a RIFF BOX and can force push the needed files...
I don't know the cost ...but I can tell you that the device is worth it...
The note 2 is an exceptional device ...and it is clear that you did not understand what you needed to do...
