[Q] [Help] DK28>EC05

Stuck! For some God forsaken reason, when my phone is in DL mode Odin or any computer that i tried will read the phone. I have tried different drivers thats been posted in this forum along with different settings like turning on/off developer mode before going to DL mode.
So I cant use Odin to update my modem on my phone.... is there a file that i can roll back to the DI18? I use the update.zip from DI18>DK28 and hoping that i can revert that way and go get EC05 through CWM.

This doesn't belong in development, hopefully impaler will be here to move it soon.
We need more info to be able to help, like:
What OS is the computer running?
Do you have the Samsung drivers installed?

>_< sorry for putting this in the wrong spot.

along with different drivers that have been posted here that people chimed in
and said that it worked for them.
my primary computer is win7 64 and i tried every driver that i can find under the sun and to no avail i fail.

I have the same problem myself.
DK28 is an unsupported build. The update script posted above won't work.
In DK28 USB communication died and as such Odin is not an option. The only option as far as I know is to flash a FULL ROM which has a DI18 modem as part of the ROM using CWM. You will just have to put the file on the SD card manually using a PC since USB is not an option.
After you go to DI18 just follow the regular steps to go from DI18 -> EC05 (may need multiple steps with EB13 intermediate step)
I haven't gotten around to doing this myself yet, still stuck on DK28.

so flash a rom that have a di18 rom and hope for the best?

it seems that i have that i cannot find a rom that is supported with cwr 3.0+ to flash back to di18 =(

There is no reason DK28 should have effected being able to use Odin at all as LiberatorUSA has suggested, as many here running custom roms have more than likely run a version of DK28 at one time, and the only way to update the modem from DK28 is through Odin. And while you can flash a different rom through CWM (such as those based on DI18, EB13, or even EC05), you will still need to use Odin to update the modem. If you really think DK28 is to blame, then you can flash to an EC05 rom (such as SRF 1.1.0, as it supports CWM3) and then try to re-Odin from there.
Here are some basic things to try, as I don't see them listed in what you have done... Have you tried using every usb port on your computer? Are you using the stock usb cable? Have you tried other cables? Completely uninstall all previous drivers before trying to install different drivers. Open your device manager and connect your phone in DL mode, watching to see what devices appear, then manually attempt to uninstall those specific devices.

Download the epic drivers direct from Samsung. The first time connecting may take up to 15 minutes as there are some parts that Windows 7 seems to want to find on the net. After all drivers report installed then put your phone in download mode (hold 1 key while booting on) start Odin then plug your phone in. A COM number should show up on the computer screen. If this doesn't work try another data cable.
Do you BONSAI?

Have u tried different versions of odin?
Different usb ports?
Does the com port pop up?

I just posted a cwm zip to update your modem to ec05 regardless of what your current modem version is

I have tried it in multiple computers and the odin do recognize the phone untill i go to DL mode, i Dl the drivers directly from samsung and it did took awhile to find the drivers. It recognize the device until i go to DL mode, I have used my samsung cable , my wifes htc evo cable and my mom's droid x cable. All the same result, i spent the whole day trying to figure it out. I had a fresh install of winxp and win7 on two different laptops.
I installed the DK28 through a CWM, i have been having odin problems since day one and not just this time.

meh might just get a refurb from sprint later on. or get a new phone all together. I cant find a solution w/ or w/o odin >_<

Rerfs with root

Ok, I have win7 and cannot root with my comp. I spent weeks trying to get it to work, and I gave up. At the time, I had an older machine with XP, and was able to root my phone via that older machine. Since then I have moved and that comp is in storage.
I'm getting all kinds of errors and the phone keeps shutting off constantly (currently running srf) and I have tried to wipe and reinstall many many times.
Being that my comp doesn't see my phone (only sometimes it sees it for storage, but that only happens WITHOUT debugging, and even then is hit or miss. I use wireless ftp for file transfers) I can't Odin and I can't root. I tried the "no computer" roots before, but it would never work, and I always had to use my older computer with XP.
Is there a ReRFS WITH root? I've searched and can't find one. I'd like to go back to stock w/ root so I can start flashing roms from scratch.

Sounds like the cable but wierd it works on old but not new I have heard that sometimes only certain usb ports on a computer will work something about being attached to the board or something So if using the stock cable replace that with something like a blackberry one and maybe try a different usb port on the computer

Thanks for trying to help, but I spent weeks trying to get it to work. I've tried every usb port (even the ones directly connect to the mobo)... I even went out and bought a new data cable.

Yes I do. Orange cwm.

DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip
"Flash this kernel to have root and busybox, this kernel has reboot recovery to cwm 3.1.0.1, and is ROM Manager compatible."
Does that kernel actually root the epic? If so, I could flash the ReRFS and then flash that for root ect.

I think so.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.

So i flashed the ReRFS and rooted with the DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip. Then flashed purple cwm and then flashed the srf rom again.

[Q] Flash back to stock FROYO EC05 via Samsung Recovery?

On stock GB EI22. Cannot currently use ODIN. More details on that here, for the curious: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375005
Question:
In my current state, is it possible to flash a stock EC05 from the default recovery?
I could then use one of the root methods without ODIN, then get CWM, then flash back to GB using a rooted kernel / custom ROM...

Just flash an EC05 ROM, you are rooted right? Reread it...guess not. No, there is nothing you can flash from stock recovery that will take you back to EC05 from GB.

Thanks. That's what I was almost certain about. I will focus on getting that port to work again.

Give Heimdall a try. It has it's own drivers.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I had tried Heimdall from a Macbook Air as well (in addition to the other 4 computers I mentioned in the reference thread). It did not work. It did not do anything, similiar to Windows.
However, I did manage to get ODIN to work!!! Same setup I've always used, which until this incident, had always worked (same PC, same USB port, same cable, same phone, same person, same room in the house, etc.).
The only thing I did was uninstall the drivers completely, then reinstall, rebooting in between every step.
Afterwards, I opened ODIN, put phone in download mode, and BAM!, like magic, it worked again. 7 seconds later, I had CWM (ACS 5 1.0.0.0) installed!
Now, I am not sure it had anything to do with re-installing the drivers because:
1. I had the phone briefly connect once during the 4-ish day period... I was booted into Android, Windows did the USB connected sound and I saw "Samsung" under USB Devices in Device Manager. Then, when I removed the cable and booted into download mode, nothing...
2. I expected to hear the USB connection sound, regardless if the drivers worked on not. I would then expect to get a message stating "Could not install drivers" or something to that extent. Perhaps my perception is wrong?
3. No other computer, which had the drivers freshly installed, detected the phone, even with the same USB cable I know works.
Anyways, once CWM was in place, rooting took another few seconds. Ti Backup restored and all seems to be well.
Thanks everyone!

Yup. Happened to me too once. Out of the blue my computer would not recognize my phone with usb debugging on. Reinstalled the drivers and it was fine.

Was flashing my cousins Epic yesterday, tried to root GB with an online tutorial and soft bricked it. Used Odin to go back to ec05, ota'd to froyo (rooted immediately), looking to move to rooted gb(prob stock), and get MMS working for metro.

Just use the froyo upgrade tool

unknown device no matter what but was working fine

Yesterday i wanted to tranfer pictures to my Epic 4g and it showed up fine for a few seconds then disapeared and now all I get is unknown device in device manager on Windows 7 x64. Phone has been working since I bought 4 months ago. I did upgrade to FC05 modem in the morning without problems on Calkulin's 2.8.1
1. Tried different PCs and cables with same result
2. Wife's Epic 4g works on same computer and same cable
3. Reinstalled Samsung drivers and KIES in different configurations, no luck
4. Used kies to transfer Calkulin's 2.9.2 with CWM using format all no luck
5. Restored back up from last week no luck
6. PDAnet did not help
7. Messed with USB debugging and USB utilities no luck
Phone does not have any problems working, just pc won't recognize. I can install new ROMS that already have CWM if I transfer via KIES to internal storage and run from CWM, ODIN/Download mode does not recognize my phone. Is there any way to install ROMS without CWM and add it later if I can't connect to PC? Any ideas how to fix. Charging works and pc recognizes phone each time but does not know what it is.
Thank you.

You can use mobile Odin to flash kernel and get cwm ...there is a free lite version on xda

Thank you, I'll give Mobile Odin Pro a shot. Is it reliable or anything to watch out for as in the last bricks. In time I think I'll just replace the phone as I think the port went bad not sure how.

[Q] Att S3 Wont Connect to Computer

I currently rooted using the latest version of the Sons of Android ROM. Last night I made a back-up of it and flashed the Synergy ROM to test it for a friend. When I restored my back-up, I could no longer connect to the computer. I tried to reinstall the drivers through Kies and also direct from Samsung. The phone charges when connect to the USB port, but does not connect. I have tried two computer so I think it is the phone.
I search the forums and didnt find anything that help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

I can not find any fast charge setting. I am starting to worry that I might have damaged the phone. I hope I just need to re-flash a driver or something.
Thank you!

make sure you're using the factory cable for the device.
try another USB port, preferably a port directly connected to the computers motherboard.
delete the current USB drivers for your phone on the computer. reboot it. in task manager, stop any kies background processes. reinstall drivers. reboot and see if that takes.

Did you make a nandroid of the previous rom ? Flash back to that . Flashing any rom made for the NA version of the Galaxy s3 will NOT brick your phone. NO physical damage will happen in any way.
Yes check the cord to make sure its not that....samsung phones are picky....even with the same cord.
Fast charge is usually in the kernel settings menu. It will be something you would had to enable, I've never seen it come enabled on a rom. What kernel are you on ? I don't think you see that setting on TW based rom's anyway ( I assume you are on SoA right now?)
Have you tried to do a complete wipe and flash another rom ?

I have a nandroid of my stock (after rooted) ROM, but it is on my computer now, not on the phone so I cant access it. I also had a nandroid of Sons of Android that was connecting just fine before I flashed Synergy ROM. I restored the Sons of Android ROM (nandroid) that was still on my external SD card and that didnt fix it.
I just did a complete wipe (Cache, Davlik Cache, System, Factory Reset, and Internal Memory), then installed the Wicked ROM with the stock kernel. It still doesnt work.
I tried two different cord on two different computers with no luck.
Thank you!

Completely remove the drivers on your PC and reinstall again. Also if you have kies remove that first.

USB Debugging is currently enabled, but I have tried it both ways.
I also am noticing my data connection is really, really slow, much slower than normal. I looked under the Synergy ROM and there was some talk of needing to reflash modem and bluetooth when reverting to a stock kernel. Could this be the problem?
Thanks!

You could try mobile Odin and flash the rooted stock that way... Its a shot
You have to use a .tar file though

Can you you give me some more info on Mobile Odin? I have never heard of it.
Last night I flashed the KT747 kernel because it has updated USB drivers, but it still didnt work.
I still have to believe that something went wrong when flashing the other night because that is when it stop work, but I am starting to think it is a hardware issue. It is very wierd!
Thank you!

Do you get any error when plugging it? I had a similar issue last week until I updated Windows.

Nope, no error message. It just doesnt reconize it is there. I have tried three computers (Windows 7 - 64 Bit & (2) XP 32 Bit) and three different cords.

When is use the *#7284#, I get the UART section that is on PDA and I cant change it.
Under the USB section I have button that says "Qualcomm USB Settings" with a whole punch of options:
MTP
MTP + ADB
PTP
PTO + ADB
RNIS + DM + MODEM
RMNET + DM + MODEM
DM + MODEM + ADB
Should I use one of these settings?
Thank you!

You should have two options, MODEM and PDA. Mine is set to MODEM.

Still no luck! Very Frustrating!
I used Mobile Odin to flash back completely to stock, and the usb still would not connect. I do not know what else to do. I will have to remove the SD Card and use a card reader for now. I can flash back to stock when if I want to take it in and get it fixed or replaced.
