So I was rooting my friends phone, and accidently forgot to remove the check mark next to repartition when installing cwm, now the phone will not install any roms, and will not return to stock through Odin. Gets stuck at factoryfs.rfs, and will not process any further. Any advice?
Get the victory.pit and odin again with rfepartition checked... I spent 3 days TRYING to brick this phone and couldn't... just keep trying... different cables, ports, etc....

I tried that... have been using the PIT the whole time.. even repartitioned by itself which went through fine. Still hangs at factory, when I power on the phone it is a blank screen... tried two computers, and every port... set odin as admin, and running it in compatibility mode...
It sounds insane but really just keep trying because eventually it should work. It took me a whole day once but eventually I rebooted a lot and got the cord port combo, and the grace of a religious deity correct. As long as nothing blows up while doing the repartition nothing really bad should happen since you can always flash recoveries and kernels through Odin anyway. Good luck and happy flashing!

Used this cable before to get mine going... I don't think it is that...
Use heimdall load the package remove the factoryfs and then flash and then if that works then flash factoryfs by itself i got it to work by doing this

If its already repartitioned try it without the pit and without checking repartition this time... I did the same thing yesterday and it worked for me...

was given a free Samsung Epic because the owner had no clue what was wrong with it and had already upgraded.
started fiddling with the phone and noticed the following:
-won't boot past black and white Samsung screen
-when phone is off and plugged in, it freezes (screen looks like it's charging, but it just shows and empty battery and the spinning circle thing doesn't move)
-occasionally (before attempting several flashes), the screen would get a red tint to it. (hasn't done this since flashing several times)
-as soon as a battery is put into the phone, it powers on without needing to press any buttons.
-stock battery shows water damage, but the original owner insists the phone was never in water. i trust it because it was my brother and his fiance.
since fiddling with the phone, this has been my experience:
-flashes with Odin show as completed, but don't boot past black and white Samsung screen regardless of what was flashed.
-flashes with SWUpdater show completed, but don't boot past black and white screen.
-ordered one of those "jig"s from ebay, works beautifully, saves me the headache of trying to hit power/1 right as i put the battery in.
-phone off/charge screen still freezes
almost ready to give up, but i was hoping you folks might have some suggestions... luckily my Evo and my Moment before that never had any issues like this...
Have you tried a new cable? Redownloading the tar file? Try the tar and suggestions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
i have already tried several different USB cables as i remember that suggestion from my Evo and Moment before this, but good looking out. already tried 3 different cables with the same result...
downloading the stuff from that thread now
thanks for your help and if you have any other suggestions please don't hesitate...

Ok, in the thread I sent you to, it says pull the battery and sd card, then in Odin check all 3 boxes, repartition, reboot and f.reset. make sure to check the PIT box and include the PIT out of the Odin package and tar in the PDA section. Last resort time.

No problem. You will get it going. As long as there is life it can be fixed. Try another tar, maybe an EB13 tar and if that is successful let it update to EC05.

just to eliminate all options, make sure u try another usb cord, and also make sure u do odin right. a lot of those .tars dont actually need a pit, and also make sure that f. reset is the only box checked other than the phone one where u put the tar.

god, this is way more complicated than my Evo or my Moment...
i know this may sound ridiculous (i thought it was) but have you tried a different cable? this happened to me once and switching cables fixed it. go figure.
so i just got this new epic in the mail after paying 100 dollars for it....was already on el30.....so i tried adding the md5 file in order to root it but it got stuck and got semi bricked so i tried to odin it back to stock and did repartition auto reboots and reset time and after like 3 intents of it getting stuck on boot.bin now it wont turn on.....HELP!!! I just got it today and im really scared about breaking it again!

Like kenny said get a better cable and redownload the files... oh and repartition shouldn't have been checked since you were already on BML and is used to go back to that. :/
Auto reboot is the ONLY thing that should be checked. Redownload the files and try it with a better cable if you don't have one stop now or get ready to bury the phone.

Because the front is a hub usb port and the usb's in the back are direct on the mobo. Certain computers are picky some like the front over the back ones.

Hello,
I seem to have bricked one of my Epics. I can get it to boot to the Download screen, but I can't seem to get anything downloaded to it.
It previously had the CleanGB ROM (1.05?) with the EL30 modem, I think. I tried to use Odin to upgrade the modem to FB15, when 25% of the way through the phone screen changed to all one color. I unplugged and retried, but every time I get the same result (though the color is always different).
I've also tried flashing SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar, and flashing that and the modem together. The process always dies (colored screen) or hangs (10 minutes and the modem still isn't flashed).
This USB cable and computer have been working as recently as a few days ago, so I have no particular reason to suspect them.
Any advice? Obviously the phone won't do anything other than Download right now.
You have a bad cord go get a new one... your screen changing color is the biggest tell tell sign of a bad connection. Get a good thick usb cord and you should be good to go

I need help, really.
So here I am, buying an Epic 4G with bad esn from Ebay, i don't care about the Bad esn, I live in Mexico, so not a single **** given, I flashed it to Iusacell, the CDMA carrier here in Mexico.
It was working very well, it had voice and data and it was OK, i had no problems with the OS.
Then, the damn day that a dude was going to buy it from me, THE !"#!" DAMN PHONE DOESN'T TURN ON!!!!
It was stucked in the "Samsung" screen, and sometimes it came trough that just to freeze on the Galaxy S screen, just once it barely turned on and showed the Unlock screen, but when i unlocked it, it rebooted ¬¬
I'm a bad-lucked-noob dudes.
As soon as I started reading I tried to flash a stock rom with Odin, but it didnt work.
Now I'm realizing that the problem is flashing the "modem.bin" image, i tried with both Odin and Heimdall and nothing worked, several sotck roms, several modems, nothing worked, IT ALLWAYS STOPS AFTER DOWNLOADING THE MODEM AT 100% AND FAILS TO UPLOAD.
Heres what Heimdall says:
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
MODEM upload failed!
And its the same every damn time :/
Please help me, I'm so about to throw it to the floor
Thank you!
What cable? Could be a crap cable and data transfer issues. Also could be the phone is corrupt... I remember reading about somebody having to return their phone cuz it kept getting stuck on the modem.bin and it was a faulty phone.

I tried with both a generic USB cable, (yes, a crappy cheap one) and also with a original HTC cable, doesn't worked on any of them.
Tell me it's not the phone, please, that would mean loosing money, isn't there another way to flash like everything?, like a master delete or i dont know, Im not familiar with Samsung devices.

I'll try the video tonight, and im also trying to get a Blackberry cable.
I'm not really shure about the tar that I'm using, as I told I'm not very familiar with the Samsung devices, but I think its like a E30 and ive seen also a F09 or something like that, I downloaded everything related that I saw.
Ok, my question is: I know the cable could cause some problems, But, Is it possible that it ALLWAYS crashes in the same exact operation?
Yes it is possible. You could also have a damaged modem area in your ROM. Try to look for the EC05 tar and try that.

Try with version 1.3.1 of Heimdall rather than 1.3.2.
If the problem persists it might be worth repartitioning (if you're not already).

With Odin you check Repartition. I'm not sure on the specifics but my guess is it resets your partition table on the phone.

Use Odin
Place the phone into download mode.
Plug it in and ensure there is a yellow box with COM# (doesn't matter what number)
Put the victoryxxxx.pit in the PIT section of Odin
Place the EC05 or which ever TAR in the PDA slot of Odin
Make sure only auto-reboot is checked and hit start.
Should take around 3 minutes or so. Factory.fs takes the longest usually so expect it to slowly load on that part.
If you would like.. i can remote control your computer with Teamviewer and ensure you get things done correctly .
If you do install teamviewer Private message me the ID and Password.

Rooted my i317 2 days ago with the "no triangle counter" method. All was good, got TWRP installed, nandroided stock and did my thing. Been rooting phones for many years and have yet to brick anything *knocks on virtual wood*. Installed paranoid android, and all was awesome. Decided to give another rom a try... Cant remember which, but im not thinking thats the issue.
Wiped, flashed, no errors, rom booted normally, but as i unlock the device i get three force close errors. Then reboot. Over and over. Restored three different backups and all three do the same thing. Never run into this one before. Admittedly i am worried. Not a rich man and bought this phone outright...
I am hoping flashing in odin the original root tar file will correct the issue. But honestly wanted to do some reading and post this first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try flashing a touch wiz kernel before going back to a nandroid? If not try that and if so try a factory reset and then a good old reboot!
I assume you tried a cm10.1 rom?

Same thing happened to me and I did just use odin to push that tar file through, rerooted, and flashed in my rom. That to me seems to be the fix for the bootloop imo. But someone with more knowledge could correct me if im wrong. Probably didnt help you any but just thought I would share my experience and fix when I was in the same position.

Both of you are good people. Alleviated is a drastic understatement. Was afraid it was a bad internal storage (bad hard drive) and was an issue limitec to my device. Others have done it, it can be fixed.

What I did when it was stuck at the Samsung logo was I took out the battery> held down volume up, center home, and power to go into the system and did a factory wipe> then it pulled through nack to stock. Give it a try and keep me posted.

I tried the factory wipe through the cwm recovery included, didnt work. Was still stuck on samsung logo. Reflashed with odin a second time which allowed a successful boot and recovery of my paranoid android backup. Im good to go... Gonna do some more reading though. Im missing something important with this phone. Moving from 4.1 to 4.2 roms or vice versa seems to be... Weird.
Anyways all good. Thanks.
