Hi i used the wrong recovery to backup my Samsung epic touch and now all I get is a blue light it won't start or boot to recovery or odin any help will be appreceiated. I'm using EL26 kernal to flash ICS roms I went to cwm touch recovery instead of rouge recovery and now I'm stuck.
I do also have the FE02 plus recovery I forgot to mention that with having all my stress.
Sounds like another hard brick... Your only small hope would be in a usb jig and then a jtag service, but both might fail and you now have an expensive paperweight.

Try the manual method to get into download mode (copied from sfhub's TAR posts):
Code:
Method #1
Power down phone
Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode
Without getting into download mode you're probably a victim of the eMMC lockup. But to know for sure, what kernel version were you on when you last tried a CWM restore or wipe?
I was using EL26 kernal. I should have booted into recovery manually but I used rom manager it booted me into cwm touch instead of rouge recovery. I was going to flash a new ICS rom so I wiped everything and formated system and when I pressed reboot recovery, and rather then just going back it froze so I waited a bit then pulled the battery that's when it wouldn't do anything except the blue light.
I used the e4gtauto file to flash FE02+recovery. Which I understand is the one you need if you are flashing ICS roms but i used cwm touch before I realized it was the wrong recovery it was to late.
BTW it won't go into download mode

OK, the behavior - specifically that the phone froze and wouldn't respond until you pulled the battery - matches the eMMC lockup. Unfortunately yours appears to be locking up during the boot process which is why you can't get to download mode. Only way to fix is to take to Sprint for replacement.
Still curious how you did it though - and let's try our best to find it so that others don't suffer the same fate:

Can you link to the post containing the file you used to flash? I'm not aware of an FE02 build - maybe Agat's FF02 repack? And can you also include source of CWM touch if from a different ROM?
Sounds like he used CWM Touch on an ICS build. It flashed the recovery through rom manager, but the recovery isnt built correctly for our phones. Its a hard brick and will need to get a replacement. YOU HAVE TO USE A GINGERBREAD RECOVERY FOR IT TO WORK RIGHT

Yea even then he stated fe02? Isnt that an ics kernal and also used touch which neither is good for flashing a new rom.. either way people make mistakes and like said already you have a nice paperweight.. to sprint you must go lol

If you want CWM use Option C in the Auto Root Package to install EL26+CWM (you are already rooted so Option A is not necessary)

There's your culprit. Once you get it replaced you'll want to stick with GB or FF02 repack which was done with care to avoid triggering the lockup for now. Sorry you had to find out this way...

Rooted successfully, flashed cwm's most recent recovery and made a backup,i go and DL miui and try to flash that and get a neverending bootloop , so i go into recovery and try to go to backup/restore and my power button wont work.. aka im trying to select the option to do my backup and it isnt responding.. but it does respond correctly when going into recovery/ download mode
I originally had this thread posted in wrong section of ssgs2,
A response i had was where i got the cwm from, i replied the market. apparently im not supposed to use the one from the market, and thats where i stand currently, any help is greatly appreciated to get this phone up and running again
Odin and flash a stock image onto it and a stock kernel, should be fine by then
That probably isn't clockwork mod- rather samsungs default recovery. In samsungs recovery, you press the home button instead. The reason cwm from the market does not work is that it is identified as a galaxy s II, and ours is an epic 4g touch, so it flashes the wrong version. Just use Odin to flash any kernel in the development section (I strongly recommend the LoSt Kernel)

Also, there is no miui for our phone. Do not be mistaken- the sgs2 and the sgs2 epic 4g touch are not the same phone.

Was running a restore via CWM this morning, but there was nothing happening for a good 20 minutes, restoring from Darkstar to Calkulins (GB), so I left the phone alone for a while. An hour later, says is restoring data (no progress bar) and so after another minute, I rebooted the device. Of course, now I only get a blue LED(nothing on screen) and I cannot seem to get into ODIN mode or recovery. Any ideas?
Its bricked. You need to jtag or take it to sprint.Have you read what everybody is saying?.....if you want to restore gingerbread use odin first

Have we come to any consensus on what is causing these bricks? It seems to happen often when using CWM to restore between ICS and GB. Or is it something else entirely? I've always just used Odin and haven't had any issues yet.
OP. Could you provide a little more information on your setup? Specifically ...
1) The recovery (specific version) you were using at the time you made your GB Nandroid backup
2) The method you used to flash Darkstar, and how you obtained custom recovery after flashing it and the version of said recovery
3) The recovery (specific version) you tried to use to restore your GB Nandroid backup
We need to find out what is corrupting the data partition and making it un-usable and un-repartitionable (yeah I made up a word).

from what I've read, it sounds like its either people coming from ics to gb like you said, or (and I'm really not sure on this one) they are trying to restore a backup from a different kind of recovery and there is being an incompatability at some point. Like restoring a backup made in rogue recovery in cwm recovery. I really don't know though and I'm kinda scared to test it as you can imagine.

3) CWM Touch 5.8.1.5
I started with darkstar this morning, from calkulin's via cwm 5.0.2.7, then did a flash from rom manager, via cwm, to cwm touch. From there, without rebooting, I backed my ROM and attempted to reflash to calkulin's via cwm touch. That's when things went icky.

So touch recovery is involved yet again. I'm assuming this was Koush's CWM Touch recovery, and not Team Rogue's version? If it was Koush's recovery, did you download it and flash it or did you install it via ROM manager?

Okay ... VERY VERY VERY likely that this was your issue.
Lesson learned I guess, but this info is all over the place here on XDA. DO NOT use ROM Manager to flash CWM Touch. In fact, do not use ROM Manager at all, and I'd go further and say avoid any Touch Recovery for now. If if you insist on using Touch Recovery, use Steady Hawkins' version (although I believe he took the link down until this gets sorted out).
Don't know what the issue with the recovery and restore is but I've been dealing with galaxy s phones from all different carriers since they came out and its impossible to brick them. Like the other guy in the thread stated you need a USB jib. You plug it into your phones micro USB port and it automatically puts it in download mode and then you can use ODIN to flash what you want.

Not in this case man. I know it defies all previous knowledge, but this problem is stopping even Odin from being able to re-partition and write to /data.
When using ics 3.0 kernel to flash or restore you have a good chance of a brick .....Odin back before restore ....please read people
And don't use cwm touch

Have you tried to get back into download mode? If you can then I'd suggest using Sfhub's one-click EL29.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in to help out.
In CWM recovery you can mount the internal or external memory so you can put a different ROM/kernel and flash it right in recovery. But still as Eso said it's best to get into download mode and use Odin
Not sure what you did and how you did it. Need more details. A lot more details. But if you can get to download mode (hold the power button + volume down till the boot screen shows), I'd follow Esoteric68's advice and use the one-click EL29 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 or try the EL26 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623684. Make sure you use the 'Full Reset' options.

This one. I had the same experience and was able to go DL mode. Download the one-click odin rom from sfhub's thread (having kenel included one) and flash it.
All he did was flash the El26 CWM kernel we all use in ICS to flash from Rom to Rom, he is safe on where he is at.
The reason he gets boot loops is because it's a GB kernel and not an ICS kernel. The GT-I9000 is normal when using this file and happens to everyone right now when they use it.
He can flash a new Rom and such from where he is at, or if he wants to keep his current Rom he has to find an ICS kernel to flash through CWM that he has.

I told you this would happen in our PM conversation yesterday. I told you it would be OK and you would just have to boot into ClockWork Mod recovery from there and flash a ROM/kernel/modem.
I am trying to upgrade my phone from ICS to JB. I flashed Stock GB27 through the odin one-click and every loaded/booted fine. Now I wanted to flashed tdunham's rom "Recalked in Jellybean". In order to flash the rom I have to use EL26 or EL29 cwm kernel to flash it. I used the odin one-click of EL26_Stock_CWM5 (Christ 41 G) and it rebooted. But now it is stuck at the boot screen with a yellow triangle. I'm not sure really what to do at this point to fix it. I've found videos online but they all show the phones going past the boot screen to actually get rid of it.

Did a data wipe and still have a bootloop with the yellow triangle at the bottom. I'm guessing it is the el26 kernel that is causing it. This is from his OP page:
3. Install EL26 (Chris41G) kernel or EL29 Directboot kernel.
They can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1662295
( Look for: GB - Stock EL26 Repacked Kernel or GB - Direct Boot CWM )
Note: For success, EL26 & EL29 kernels are recommended for flashing this rom!
I used the EL26 one and it seems to not to be working with the stock GB27 rom (At least through the odin method). I've read that Stock rooted JB kernels for some reason do not play nice with custom JB roms. Am I able to get into Odin mode safely from the boot screen and can I just used the one-click Stock GB27 again to reinstall everything back to stock?

Instead of using PC Odin. You can grab Mobile Odin lite 3.65 by chainfire and flash the
DirectBoot EL29 Recovery Kernel.
You mentioned you don't know why you need the
EL26/29 Kernel recovery. It's a safe recovery
to flash roms and recommended to do so.
Use PC odin, the directions provided are a stable sure fire way to fix the problem. If you're going to go the Mobile Odin route, get the pro version. The lite version requires you to find and download an extra file, which can complicate things if you're unsure, and flashing the wrong one WILL cause a brick.
Trust the more experienced users here and it will save you time, trouble, and possibly a device:good:
I am having issues booting into CWM EL26 + EL29 Recoveries.
I am able to odin the kernal but it just sticks on the Samsung logo if I try to access CWM.
It used to reboot and either go right into CWM or I would do Volume Up and Power to access.
I am currently on Paradox Rom GB27. I am trying to flash a ROM that needs EL26 or EL29 but cant access.
Any idea why I cannot access?
Also, if I have the charger plugged in (usb to comp), the screen gets stuck on a battery icon like its charging but doesnt move.
(think thats just because the charger is plugged in) BUT it seems that whatever this kernal is doing it the phone it is Freezing it at that first boot point.
I reflashed GB27 so im fine for now but just want to solve this mystery.

No luck with mobile odin. Same thing. Stuck at the White Samsung Logo.
I am out of options. Unless there is another kernel I can try that is similar to el26 + el29.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I will stick with Paradox for now.
I wanted to try multi window rom but flashing on gb27 gives force closes and constant reboots.
Is it possible that once im on gb27, I cant go back and flash a gb rom? Ive done it
Before so thats why im stumped. Its like my phone doesnt support it.
I went on rwilco and downloaded multiple files and made sure they were with cwm.
They all do the same thing. Heres one for you... would water damage cause those kernels not to work?
Phones fine besides the kernel issue.
Also is it possible when doing cleanup on my phone and deleting
Old backups cause an issue? I thought to myself... wait I can restore an old rom with
El29! Lol no where to be found, already got rid of them.

I've flashed many ROMs..from GB to JB and back the other way..lol. Never had that problem..you could try to go into recovery and flash the format all x 2.. Then flash the el26 kernel zip..reboot recovery.. I don't know...might work..The format all x 2 will get ya ready for flashing GB/ICS so it might help..once on el26 you can use jb format all x 2 to get ready for the new jb ROM flash.. Just a thought...

Try doing an Odin stock rooted Rom flash on ICS and then working from there using mobile Odin. Sometimes I can't do the pc Odin for those kernels so I use mobile Odin and it works perfect.
If you're trying to flash the new SHOShock Rom by TD then I'm having issues with that too. My phone gets stuck on a boot cycle and if I try to flash a nandroid back up then it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Only way out of it was flashing a GB27 rooted stock Rom in pc Odin.

Good call, @FuMMoD.. I had told him about using mobile Odin...And I figured a back to stock ICS rooted then flash the el29 would be the next thing to try..I just hadn't heard from him if the wipe zip had helped.. Good looking out.. Nice to see people trying to help..This is the best forum...in my opinion..

Just going off from where you left off man. I figured I would put my 2 cents in cause it sure can be a headache sometimes. I noticed when I'm out of luck pc Odin always saves me. I agree this community is great when it comes to helping each other.

Had a similar issue yesterday. I flashed the el29 recovery without wiping the /preload first, and it would not boot. Booted back into gb27 agat recovery via Odin, wiped the /preload, flashed el29 zip, and a successful boot. Don't know if it is the same issue, but that is my story...

How did you wipe the preload? I'm having issues flashing shostock and that might help me successfully flash it. Thanks!

First, download the el29 recovery kernel zip located in the rwilco repository.
Next either flash, or already be on the gb27 agat recovery kernel (also can be found in repository).
While in agat recovery, navigate to "mounts and storage"
Select "format /preload" (and whatever else you want to wipe out)
Back out, then "install zip from SD card"
Flash the el29 zip and you should be good to go.
