[Q] cant update to ics - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

i am having a problem updating to ics , now i have done every step on qb77's youtube video to the T but when i start to update the little bar starts to go and then stops and i go into the triangle with the ! mark in the middle and the android guy and it stays there untill pull the battery , and yes i have made sure that the update file is on the sd card and not the phones internal storage so im wandering if it just my phone or what but any help would be great thanks
oh and no im not rooted im on stock

I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted. I think the only one you don't have to be rooted for is the latest leak (FD30?), I think that one can be flashed through stock recovery without root. I could be wrong.

Why don't you try sfhub's odin one click? It's way easier.

Nope. You don't need to be rooted to use the update.zip.

Use the Auto Root program by Sfhub to unroot it after you install ICS with the one click

I just hit restart and install from the update notification and it tried to install but couldn't. It went to the caution triangle with the Android guy screen.

Make sure you freeze the update checker from titanium backup our you would have to go through this again

Yeah I posted a link for best bet. This is a STOCK, pre-rooted EK02 ROM. I do have to warn you this is a full ROM. So a full wipe is recommended. You can try to just wipe cache and dalvik. Titanium backup all your stuff to be safe

You have to let it load, don't be in such a hurry.. first boot always takes time to reinstall all bloatware and such.. give it about 30 mins if you have not had progress then you might have to clear all your cache, dalvik cache, and data before this might work.

Sorry to ask, but reading numerous forums has made me absolutely clueless as to what to do.
Long story short, My AT&T i927 is not rooted and i updated to official ICS via kies air and have been having multiple bugs, like the famous keyboard backlight issue (for which ive read the fix but was unable to implement it) and also, the pinch zoom gestures being of almost no use cuz they are THAT slow in response and the hd games on it have become extra laggy, the camera quality has become terrible.
I want to go back to gingerbread but dont know how so PLEASE, i request you to take few minutes out of your precious time and help me with one single post containing the step by step method and links to whatever it is that i need to download. I seriously appreciate this and would make sure this post is popular enough to not to be repeated again.

2 options.
1. Use a nandroid backup if you made 1 before upgrading.
2. Go to Sammy firmware "http://www.sammobile.com/firmware"and download the ROM you would like to install with Gingerbread and flash via ODIN. You will have to register with them and using Odin is straight forward see on this forum how to use it.
Much appreciated.
Thank you so much kind sir ! One last ridiculous question, in order to opt for your above mentioned option 2....would it require me to root my phone ?
Nope just have to have it recognized when in download mode. Boot into download mode and star Odin then plug cable to computer and see if it sees you're phone. If not you may wish to install kies. This is the app from Samsung and it installs all necessary drivers for you computer to recognize you're phone. Via Odin or kies.

Try flashing this. It's more stock then anything (odin in download mode)Follow directions in the thread here. Should be safe once ya do this (i've soft bricked both my Epic and my Epic touch a few times) And this is a Rooted EL26 (GB) rom as well. Hope it helps.
If you can get into DL mode, you can also use the one-click EL29 . It takes all the guesswork out of Odin settings plus it gets rid of the yellow triangle. Every time I have been able to get back to DL mode I have used this method. I will try to find the link, but there is a great video on YouTube done by QBking77.

Let us know when you get back to stock EL29. Also where do you want to go with this and what do you want to do? Are you looking to be stock rooted or install custom roms?
Also, once you get to EL29, your phone will check for upgrades. If you want to stay there on GB, stay rooted, or install roms, do not accept the upgrade.
Stock before my mess up I had 4.0.4 and after doing these step I hope to get back to that just rooted. After that maybe clockworkmod and throw in a rom for ics...., I have to do updates manualy right? If phone is rooted?

Yes, you will need to install them manually with Odin, Mobile Odin, or CWM after you are rooted. Figure out what ICS rom you want before you do anything and let us know if you need any help. BTW, there are a few JB roms that are decent daily drivers as well.
Were you able to get back to EL29 okay?

I believe so. I have never done that. Once I rooted, I have never went back to stock.
Havent got a chance to try and flash to el29 yet. Left my phone at my gf house for the night so gotta wait tell she brings it over in the morning. As soon as I jump on all this ill let yall know .
i flashed this---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229./ and every thing works great. now im gonna flash this custom romhttp://phantomroms.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13&pid=83#pid83. to do so i need to flash a custom recovery correct and calkulins?
It is considered safer to flash from a GB kernal, but whatever the instructions call for on that custom rom do that. BTW, I have never flashed a rom from any thing other than EL29 direct boot CWM and EL26 stock w/ CWM5.

Update question, jelly bean

I currently on ics stock phone but rooted so I can delete bloat. I am currently downloading jelly bean from samsungs website. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999 . I don't want to brick my phone or anything and I am not sure about how to go about this. What is the best way to go about this? Can I just simply open odin and load jelly bean in there and install? How should I go about this? Thanks in advance.
Also when I get jelly bean on will my cwm files work or do I need to wait for a new version to come out?
Flash the stock rooted version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991255
Otherwise you'll need to flash back to stock. Then update
You can't update with a custom recovery like cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think thats already what I got. I don't have any custom roms or anything. Just stock with root for my current setup. 4.0.4. Can I just upgrade straight to jelly bean then without wiping my data?
In your second post you mention your cwm files. Do you have a custom recovery?
How did you root might be a better question?
Just rooted you can update, but will probably lose root
If you have clockwork (cwm) or twrp recovery the update won't flash

How did you get Odin to do that? I have CWM installed and everytime I reboot the phone (Home, Vol Up, Power) CWM comes up but Odin doesn't recognized the phone as being connected. It will only recognize my phone when it's booted normally into Android.
All I did was follow the steps in the 2nd link I posted. It worked and I just did an update through the settings menu.

It should, though I would recommend a different way.
You can get the root66 firmware from the FW thread linked in my sig. Its just the stock fw, but prerooted.
Flash it via odin and youre done!
If you dont want to mess with the fw you can use the method you posted, but id get up to date files first.
I havent watched it in some time but I think you can get most of what you need from the fw thread, post 2. If you need help finding something else just let us know.

[Q] Please Help with softbrick

I have T-Mobiles Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919). I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 yesterday, rooted, and was removing bloatware when something I deleted screwed up my gallery so I decided to re-do everything (go back to stock) and start all over. Of course that was a fail and now my screen says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." (didn't work)(cannot get into download mode or recovery) tried restoring through Odin (did this with an Galaxy s2 before and it fixed the problem) But did not work either!!! At the top of the screen it says:
Odin mode
Product name: sgh-m919
Current Binary: custom
System Status: custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warrany Void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
START (224, 1440)
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , Binary : 1
I had originally thought that Knox was just a app, but know better now. I am downloading the 4.3 firmware (6 more hours to download) to flash through Odin, but expect the same results. Any ideas on how to fix this issue or do I own a new paper-weight??? I have read through many forums and cannot find a solution.....
Odin flash the 4.3 stock tar and root with Saferoot Verizon method or CF-Autoroot (recommended). If you want autobloatware cleaner, search for TrulyClean. Good luck

I downloaded the 4.3 stock tar and tried to flash, but didn't work.

Yeah, with large downloads like that sometimes they mess up. You can run a MD5 hash/checksum to make sure the file you downloaded didnt mess up. But download it again from somewhere and give it a shot. No reason why you won't be able to Odin

Hopefully this will work. If not I have insurance on the phone..... I'll run the damn thing over and have it replaced.... LOL

No problem... I spent twice the time trying to get my phone back up and running... I was about to run my phone over with the car and get a new one (my phone is insured) LOL & if you would like a really good 4.3 Custom Rom find and try out Wicked Rom V.10... I installed it after I fixed my phone and it is awesome!!!

Mine says that (kernel is not seandroid enforcing. set warranty bit kernel) when it is booting up, but it hasn't effected it negatively. To be honest I don't even know what that means yet.... As long as the phone turns on and works.... lol
I used CF-Auto-root and it worked flawlessly...

Mine would never come to life. Would go to a black screen and the little blue light would pulse, but all i would get was a black screen. hmmmm...i probably did something wrong.
re: back to stock - root

Once you are back to stock 4.3 and not rooted all you need to do to root
the phone is to download and Odin flash cf-autoroot.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot in case you want to root your phone:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Unzip cf-autoroot into an empty folder on your computer's desktop, use
Odin which is also included in the zipfile to flash cf-autoroot in pda slot.
Once you are rooted you will need to flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp.
Good luck!
