USB & CMW NOT WORKING -Need to return to stock

Guys I have done it now. . I was rooting and ROMing my wifes phone without her knowledge, then had a brilliant Idea to update CWM to latest version. Tried Odin and discovered USB is broken, Tried to take it back to Sprint and they discovered ROOT and rejected me until I return it to stock. when I trie to load into recovery I got the image below, diligently I rebooted, reflashed. To know avail. What is a loving husband supposed to do?
I am running the latest ACS EPIC 4G ROM, nothing wrong with the ROM still works.
Problem:
1. USB does not work
2. Clockwork Mod Lost/overwritten
3. Need to return to stock to return to Sprint
4. wife is unaware of Mods, except to realize that phone is faster.

USB Not working & LOST Clockwork Mod Recovery
These are the images that I am getting when I try to get into recovery.

That isnt Clockwork. That is stock recovery. Flash CWM with odin or just odin to stock.
Edit: just read about USB. Hmmm. This is a hard one. Try using rom manager again and choose flash CWM.

Updateing used epic

Searched and searched. Bought a used in great shape epic for my son for christmas and I wanted to set it up on cleanGB like I have mine and the wifes set up (very stable an fast). I odined it back to stocj ec05 and when it prompted to update it failed. So I tried the update.zip for ei22 thru recovery and it also failed. I've seen a thread here for the same problem but I couldn't find the thread. If some one could point me in the rite direction to get it to ei22 I would greatly appreciate it.
I have everything saved on my pc to root and apply all the fixes (gps,keyboard) and to root I just need to get the phone to that point first.
Thanks

You could odin in the recovery (ACS or CWM) while on EC05, then flash the EC05 to EI22 Modem zip file (somewhere in thee dev forum), then flash CleanGB.
Edit: I am pretty sure that the only reason you want the OTA update is to get the EI22 modem.

the modem i could flash to i was just lookin to do it the easy way. lol

Mine won't update from EC05 either. I have to go back to DG27 which I got from the wiki thread.

did it update rite to EI22 that why or did it go thru the other updates first?

Forgive me for this question but why would you even want to wait on the OTA update if you are just going to flash an EI22 ROM over it? With EC05 (and backwards) you could even do the 1-click root method and not even mess with Odin.
Am I missing something with the OTA update? Is there concern with the EC05toEI22.zip? I used it to get to the EI22 modem and it was quick and painless.

i think this is the route im gonna take is do the one click root then flash everything i want on the phone

Don't forget to also apply the cwm 5 zip. You can do this after flashing cleangb if u want, but you will need to do the 3 finger method.

So you were able to get to EC05? If so, flash CWM recovery from Odin and try the 3 finger boot. Or actually, it doesnt matter if you got EC05 loaded or not, just Odin CWM and boot into recovery and flash CleanGB from there.

Stuck at boot after attempting to flash codename rom

I was on MiJJz blend ICS "The goodness"
I flashed Codename Android as described in the FIRST post of the rom.
Now my phone is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S II boot and I have stock android recovery.
Is there anything I can do to get my phone working again? I had flashed several roms before and never had a serious issue until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it helps, I wiped cache and factory wipe, flashed Codename, then gapps. I realized now that the 4th post in the thread said to use cm7...

go into stock recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache then reboot, see how it works, if it doesnt work. flash back to gingerbread using qbking's method.

I just noticed in recovery it says failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
I should have mentioned that I did try that already. I went ahead did the factory reset and wipe cache again, and it is still stuck on the same boot logo.

u have to go back to gingerbread using odin, and this time just flash cm7 b4 flashing cm9. qbking77 has a vid showing u how to install it

Odin back to GB and start again and after flashing in cm7 recovery don't forget the last factory reset before reboot

What recovery did you use to flash Codename? Make sure that it's FB21 or FB28 and not the FC's.

I really appreciate all the advice, seriously thank you all.
I tried searching and can't seem to find qbkings method, and I know I have seen it before.... I am into odin download mode on my phone, can anyone steer me in the right direction on getting the proper files to flash? I have never used odin except for the one touch root. Damn n00b

It's sfhub's method. Here ya go

Here's a list of all of them (the GB section). You can choose the kernel you want, but it doesn't matter that much.

I am back up and running!! Thanks again everyone, I was really worried that I was going to be going to sprint to try to get a new phone tomorrow.

If you haven't already, you need to go to Sfhubs auto root package to obtain cwm. Then you can flash the Rom of your choice

BRICK???..Stuck in CMW recovery mode and cannot mount sdcard...hlep plz

Hey guys,
I tried flashing the ICS rom (cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxy2.tar.tar) yesterday, My Samsung Galazxy S2 is already rooted, but when the phone rebooted after flashing the custom rom, it reboots to a black screen with a blue light lit. i can boot into CMW recovery, but when i try to restore from the NAndroid, it gives the error E:Can't mount sdcard. when i try to mount the sdcard, it gives the same error. When i put the phone into download mode to use ODIN to reflash it, ODIN doesn't even recognize the phone. if itry to format the card through CMW, it gievs Error mounting sdcard.....skipping format....Done.. If i try mount USB storage, it gives E: unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or...) How do i fix this, is it bricked? i never ran into this problem when i use to flash my EVO 4G, TP2, TP, or WM 6.5 Mogul.

Make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer and try a different cable. I think Odin is your only hope unless you try an external SD card.

I download the Samsung drivers from the website and downloaded Kies. When i try to push the rom through ADB, ADB cmd does not show the phone under listed devicesor it does not show up in Device Manager.

Maybe a different computer? If that doesn't work then I think its safe to say your device is dunskies

try reformatting the card in a PC or different phone & see if it reads.. it could be a corrupt card, but if you can get to recovery it shouldn't be bricked

would it be possible to re-partition from recovery? & doesn't ODIN have a repartition option..?

Once again. Your do not own a Galaxy S2, you own a Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Unless the page you downloaded the file from has Epic 4G Touch written all over it, it probably has NOTHING to do with your phone.
You will not find any CM9 build for our phone on Cyanogen Mod's website and you will never flash a rom, tar or anything that is marked for the i9100 or any other variant other than the SPH-D710 to your device.
The bootloader in the International tar you ODIN'd will not work with your phones USB. You will never ODIN anything again in this state. Get it jtag'd or replaced. You can sit here and fart around with it but you flashed software that was not compatible with the your hardware and most of it will no longer work until it has been replaced.

That is a garunteed brick. Just like the ICS leaks from samsung the bootloader borks the usb and storage can not be mounted.
It is NOT for your phone. Flashing roms from that section is just plain suicidal. Its like playing russian roulette with a full cylinder. The SPH-D710 is not an i9100. Lets say had it even come close to working you would have NO voice and No Data. The i9100 is a GSM phone, not CDMA and it does not use WiMax. The hardware in your phone is WAY different.

[Q]Epic 4g and CWM

Alright im having a bit of a problem and I cant seem to find any threads to help me. I recently flashed an Epic 4G for my girlfriend to a different carrier and while flashing, I installed the CWM from the video QT has on youtube with CWM 5.0.2.7 or whatever and well I flashed CM 10.1.2 over stock before reading MTD and BML and such (Yeah Im an idiot) so I went back to stock 2.3.6 but now when I follow QTs guide and try to do it again to flash deoxed rooted rom, it gives me an error and says (bad) after zip for every/any zip. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are you back on stock FC09? If not, then which one are on?
v5.0.2.7 is for BML Roms only.
V5.5x.x+ are MTD Roms only.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm back on Stock FC09.. No matter what zip I try to flash it fails and says (bad).. I can only think maybe I did something when I went from stock FC09 to CM10.1.2 MTD then reflashed back to stock fc09?

Well, redownload v5.0.2.7 (can get from my devhost in Sig), and Odin that in without reboot checked. Then 3-finger boot to recovery. From there you can flash whatever ROM you want.
If you're on stock FC09, then the stock kernel has reflashed stock recovery since the last time you flashed CWM. On top of that, this would mean you're trying to flash from within stock recovery, which is a no no.

That's where I'm at now. I have the recovery just every zip when flashing tells me (bad) and none flash

OK, so when you 3 finger into recovery it says Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 at the top? It is possible that either you have bad downloads of the ROMs or the sd card is bad. Which ROM are you trying to flash?

When I redownload and odin it and 3 finger it; it still says bad.. I know it isnt stock recovery because it says on top CWM 5.0.2.7 based.. :S Im not that new in flashing thing, Ive flashed a D2G and an Epic touch so idk

Did you include the PIT file when odining the stock FC09? It should have automatically checked repartition then.

See I thought it was the SD card too so I tried a different one with same results. Im trying to install the odexed one in QTs video... The already prerooted stock rom Ive also tried a few others all with same results :S Sorry for the double post btw.

OK, I recommend you start over. Odin in the FC09 tar and include the PIT file so repartition is checked. Once you have pure stock on the phone then this thread should follow the video by Qbking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006687. Choose the MTD version for ease to get to CM10
