Pull the battery and the sdcard. Let it sit for about an hour, don't plug it in, put it back together and try again. Try to go directly into download. Don't try to boot it up. When you installed the eg22.bin did you put it in phone or pda? Modems go in phone so I just wanted to make sure you had it in the right slot.

Sorry for this question but I have to ask, are you sure the battery has juice?

Yes when i started the odin process it was on 78 and it said pass and now it should reboot (or whatever) but it just shut off idk whats wrong with it but i hope i can fix it.

Well hopefully you had the .bin file in the phone slot and not the PDA slot... if you had it in the pda slot like you do with the .tar files for the other modems then you didn't follow the instructions on how to flash the eg22 modem...
All I can think of is that you did put the file in the pda and doing so you wiped out any power regulation program? I hope the 1 hour pull works, if not you might try to plug it in with no battery at all and see if any lights come on?
But yeah if you can't get into download mode you are hosed.

Try a new cable or download the bin again. The version of odin won't matter. I have used many different versions. Been using 1.85 for a long time.

Are you blind or do you just not read stickies?
OP, if you can get it into dl mode then you should be fine. What I would do is a fresh install of a newly downloaded odin from a different site than your odin. Then re-install the samsung drivers and use a different cable. Also redownload a basic stock official Froyo .tar file just to get you unbricked and flash that one.

[Q] Rooting Help

I recently upgraded to 2.3.5 and would like to root my phone to remove crap apps. Is there a simple, one click method to make this happen?

Nope. One clicks don't work on 2.3.5. You need to use Odin to install CWM 5.027, then pull the battery before it boots, power up into CWM first then flash a custom GB ROM.

Why not just have him install the gb3.tar kernel instead of "pull the battery before it boots" much easy and less fearfull.

Does that have clockwork in it too? Usually I say uncheck reboot in Odin but then you still gotta pull the battery and pop it back in then boot to CWM. Didn't mean to be scary..lol!

No but it qbkings tutorial he says to flash the kernel first.... then flash Cwm just saying it would be less chance of error. Something in the stock kernel has a script that searches for cwm and causes it to delet after the first boot anyways.....

Exactly! And no worries about it overwriting recovery as long as you flash a custom gb rom (there is a mostly stock one if trying to stay stock) as the kernel will be included with the rom... don't let biggorn scare you... its not scary to pull the battery after odin ;-)

The Odin kernel trick worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the help, my Epic is now rooted and has superuser access. The primary intent of this project was to remove all of the crap-ware and now that that is accomplished I have to ask...now what? What other things should I look at to make it faster and better?
Thanks again.

Flashing a custom rom.... and a custom kernel.
Suggestions: legendary 2.2 and the samurai or shadow kernel
MarcusantRom revival v2..... just go through the android development forums to see which rom you'd like to use. Just be careful what your trying to download thought. If your Rom is BML or MTD then you have to download that type of kernel.

U don't even have to pull out the battery is instantly boots up into cwm that's what happened to me when I got my replacement that was already on ei22 I just connected to odin and flashed the latest cwm and had a rom already on my sd card so I just flashed the rom when it opened cwm for me
Its very easy and no worries and if it doesn't open cwm its not like your phone will brick or anything u just need to try again. To flash a kernel would be easy too

qbking77 has a 2 part video on it that is very step by step. just follow it and you will be fine. from what i remember just 1 extra fie to odin and you need a file on your sdcard. it was pretty gravy. have fun and mistakes are a short odin back to the beginning
edit.
haha forgot there was a second page..... use remember you can go from bml to bml, or bml to mtd, mtd to mtd type roms. YOU CAN NOT JUST FLASH FROM MTD TO BML!!! you must odin back to ec05 and make sure repartition is checked and use the victory pit. happy playing

just remember though... after reading the information on these forums, and you are still unsure or whatever... ask questions, ask questions , ask questions...

It will fail to update since your rooted you have to go completely stock to upgrade and once upgraded its the same root process with the exception of using a different kernel.

ROM update to 2.3.6 (again)

ok so i had another thread where i found out i hard bricked my phone cause i did not use ODIN properly. so this time i am going to ask for settings on ODIN so i can put the 2.3.6 ROM on my phone without hardbricking
i have the rom file already named T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar.md5
i open up ODIN (1.85). What check boxes do i need? do i need re-partition? F.reset time? flash lock? phone EFS clear? phone bootloader update?
Do i just load the .md5 file into PDA? do i need any other file?
will loading the ROM erase all my data?

Dude to be as nice as possible. There is a sticky section on how to do this. Just check PDA and load it from PDA. Don't touch anything else on Odin.Dont hit repartition. Don't hit anything else. Just load to PDA. And do not rename the file or unplug your phone at any time.if you don't care about root you can always update via kies and foolproof. Please search the threads or post in general. People will blame you for ever if you post in the wrong section. Good luck.

go into download mode. after you are in download mode and connected via usb to computer thru download mode then open up odin. after that just hit pda then find the tar file you downloaded onto computer. once u find file hit that and u are good to go then run it ....let it do its thing don not touch the phone. question tho why dont you just flash one of the 2.3.6 zips we have here? also there is cwm flashable radios here too

it will not erase your data. Its a non wipe update.

Torrent for ICS Leak

Here is the torrent that is being shared to ease the original link. Created by carrett. This is an 727 skyrocket leak so autorotation will be off

Thanks and fast. Lets root this, can we Odin cwm?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ICS FLASHING ARE.
1. DOWNLOAD ODIN AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR USB CABLE WITH YOU FOR DOING THIS. ONCE DOWNLOADED ODIN THEN UNZIP AND SAVE IT ON DESKTOP, NOW GO AHEAD OPEN ODIN.
2. MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CHECKMARK ON RE-PARTITION
3. CLICK ON PHONE AND FIND THE FILE IF ITS ZIPPED THEN UNZIP IT.
4. GO INTO DOWNLOAD MODE BY TURNING THE PHONE OFF AND THEN POWER + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON PRESSSED. THAT'LL TAKE YOU TO DOWNLOAD MODE.
5. ONCE IN DOWNLOAD MODE GO BACK TO YOUR COMPUTER AND PRESS START AND LET IT FLASH DON'T PULL YOUR PLUG AND LET THE PHONE RESTART BY ITSELF. ONCE DONE..
YOU'VE JUST FLASHED ICS WITHOUT "ROOT" AT THIS MOMENT..
SHOULD YOU WANNA GO BACK TO GB THEN YOU NEED TO FIND A STOCK 2.3.5 .TAR .ZIP FILE WHICH WE HAVE ON TOP PINNED WITH AT&T AND ROGERS STOCK . JUST FLASH THAT VIA ODIN AGAIN SAME PROCEDURE WAY AND YOU'RE GOOD AND BACK ON 2.3.5.
ALSO AS POSTED BY SOLICE . PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP OF INTERNAL SD CARD IT WIPES IT. THANKS
mod feel free to post this and modify it better for new users. THANK YOU

Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

Am I bricked?

I was recovering my backed up stock rom( came from cm9) and I received an error saying "format rfs device failed on system" or something to that effect while trying to restore it. Once that happened, the back was off, and the battery came out so I tried to boot back into recovery....I get the SAMSUNG logo, soft key lights come on, phone goes black, then back to the samsung logo.
I cannot boot into recovery, do a normal boot, all I can do is download mode. Where should I go from here?

You went from bml to mtd... you CANNOT RESTORE BML NANDROIDS ON MTD. Please read bout things before flashing things.
On a helpful note.. you will need to unbrick your device by odining back to stock. Give me a second and ill link you the how to. If you feel incompetent then I offer unbricking services if you would like via teamviewer7.
Also you don't post questions in general... there is a q&a forum for questions.

Hmm I'm not really sure but I'm almost positive all of the current ROMs contain a kernel with root. You could flash CWM through Odin and then flash a ROM or a BML kernel if you plan on staying stock and you'll be rooted. I'll get you a link to a CWM tar here in a sec.
EDIT: flash this in Odin after you get back to stock:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
You'll find the link further down in the post for the .tar file. If you want to go to CM9/AOKP/other MTD TW ROM, most of them will automatically flash the MTD compatible CWM. This one that I linked is for BML ROMs only.
Hope this helps!

once you odin back to stock and root, just flash a zip version a bml deodexed rom. there is stock fc09 deodexed that is bml. make sure you have repartition checked and don't forget to include the pit file in odin before you start the process. also make sure you do not use the stock cable that came with the phone. use a blackberry data cable if you have one available. others wise something similar.

I believe re partition auto checks when you put the pit file in. But either way make sure its checked. I forgot it once and it wasn't pretty

Thank you all, I got it up and running.

I have a fully bricked EPIC 4G.
Have try every possibility that do not include opening my phone.
I even try to use the USB unbrick JIG solution and nothing
My batter is at 4.045V and I am not able to get anything, my screen is completely BLACK
Is there something I might try or some way to get this cell-phone into DOWNLOAD MODE so I can save it?
If not, I will have to take it to SPRINT and see if they can do something or replace it

Have left the battery out of the cell-phone for a complete day.
Have try keep push button 1 and power and sliding the battery in, wait for a couple of seconds, slide it out and repeat the process for a while.
Done the same using the USB
