Hit Re-partition in ODIN

Bricked my phone I believe, hit re-partition in ODIN by accident. Now I can't go to stock or do anything, gets as far as Complete(Write) operation failed. Can someone help?

Check the dev section. Also, first thing to do is remove battery and sd card. Then go read and figure out what you can do.

Try pulling battery, leave it out a bit,remove SD. Leave both out. Hold down 1 and power button and plug in the cord to PC. It may go back to boot mode this way

Yeah, that's another factor pushing me to get the Epic Touch. I think they are using Odin 1.85 on the international version.

Talk to me like a noob What does that mean? What I mean is how is it different from what we are using?
Edit: Nevermind I am slow today. I actually read the whole post. At first I thought he was saying that is why he wanted to leave the Epic for the Epic Touch. I get it now

That just means that those that get the Epic Touch have nothing new to learn. Its the same method we use on the Epic so there is no learning curve. Oh, and if I get the Epic Touch, its going to be on my other line so my Epic isn't going anywhere right now.

1 download ODIN

5 in ODIN select the tar by clicking the phone button
6 in odin only auto-reboot should be checked
7 click start
8 wait for it to finish

What is with the rash of wrong section posting lately...
if you have enough posts to post in development, you have been here long enough to know this goes in q&a, and to know to look at some stickies or something first.. i know the search sucks, but come on...

I just flashed an EC05 ROM over the GB ROM; I don't use Odin unless I have to.
As long as your EXT4 its no issue.

you can use eh17 modem on ec05- if that is what is being asked. the gb leaks have too many issues (FC) for some people to use on their daily phones.

Mod edit: Profane language not needed...

I've posted in the wrong section once -- not because I was oblivious to which sections to post things, but because I genuinely believed that was the correct location to post to. In such a situation, one should be apologetic rather than defensive. I think it borders on ungratefulness for someone with 120 posts (and therefore probably knows what chris has done for the scene) to call him an @hole.

An answer to a major problem we have

Okay so a lot of people have been flashing ROMS that are not for the Sprint galaxy s2 epic touch 4g( for example the European Galaxy s2 version of ICS) and end up getting a bricked phone that cant be read by the pc or odin. First of all READ B4 Flashing!!. secondly read the forum rules. Search before posting a new thread that someone already asked and lastly I am currently trying to find a way to fix this problem since my friend did the same thing and i have his phone at the moment. i will post an update if i find a solution unless someone beats me to it. Here is an example of what not to flash.
(do not flash u will have a fail EPIC)
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s2-ice-creams-sandwich-leaked-firmware-xxkp8/
Thats all i have to say.

install the drivers for the international version and then odin should be able to read your phone

"Rocket surgery"... Lol didn't know there was such a thing haha

Since you are on EL 29 you should be able to use the exynos exploit to obtain root without a computer by using the apk in the thread below.

I have two d710 and I too would like to know if there is a way to root with out a computer. Currently one of my d710 does not charge(I have to remove battery and charge the battery separately from device, its not so bad I have multiple batteries).
I have tried different cables to no profit. I have one of my D710 rooted rocking CM11. But would love to be able to root the wife's phone to.

[Q] update el30 to fc09?

Just got my new epic a couple hrs ago. Last one broke.
Rooted and flashed cleangb on to it.
Got a popup a couple minutes ago asking if i wanted to update mr7 from el30 to fc09.
Should i? Will it mess with the rom?

Shame on you should know better than to post questions in general LOL. If you want to stay on clean GB then you will have to modify your build.prop to stop the update. Otherwise flash an FC09 rom.

I'm in the same boat. But, I have cleangb MTD. I gave my phone to my son after I picked up an ARRIVE WP7.5 to try out. He told me he got a prompt to update. I have been looking for info. Is it worth upgrading to? And is there a link that will give me more info and what's needed to update? Thanks

You cannot update on a custom ROM. You can flash an FC09 ROM. There are a bunch in the Development forum. You can also edit the build.prop file to stop the update notification.

OK, thanks. Are there any links to the what's included in the new update? Thanks in advance.

On Sprint.com if you can navigate through their crappy website to the "update firmware on you samsung epic" page it will list the features of FC09.

The only thing really new from el30 to fc09 is the "optimizer" (sprints version of juice defender....)

If u want to stop the pop up, just allow the update to proceed, let it fail, pull battery, then reboot ur phone. That's it
