i think some ppl might get on u for not posting in this q&a. nevertheless, i feel ur anxiety.
i was able to get out of a bootloop once by deleting my copy of ODIN and downloading a new one. for some reason my old program seemed to corrupted/not working.
other times i've had trouble getting device recognized errors were due to cables/sometimes it seemed like if i didn't enter recovery prior to plugging in the usb i would get the error and had to re-start into recovery over again if i messed up the order.
there's definitely more info out there if u dig around in Q&A this was just off the top of my head.
Download Samsung drivers again, and use sfhubs one click no data. Most of the time its the drivers, especially since you said it doesn't recognize.

thanks for the help guys yea sorry about wrong placement. I already tried reinstalling the drivers i even tryied reinstalling kies and download the drivers 3 times to make sure. as far as cables i tried 2 samsung ones that come with the phone and i tried a HTC one that i got from my EVO LTE and still no dice
-edit: is there a way to acually manually point it to a certain driver by using the have disk feature and using a .inf?

I hate to say it but it sounds like it might be a brick.
Are you getting the flashing blue light with a blank screen when you try to boot our are you getting a boot loop? Are you able to boot into Recovery?
no it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again. " i cant boot into recovery, i can into dl mode. ima try a different comp.

If you're getting that message I can tell you its not going to work. It sounds like you were trying to flash the international version kernel for the SGSII rather than the Epic 4G Touch. When you try to flash the international version it will fail and gives you the error you're getting. Another unfortunate side-effect is that it ruins your USB (due to differences in the way the USB works). I've heard that some JTAG services can fix it but I haven't done it myself.
At this point you unfortunately are stuck with a brick. :-(
Sorry!
I might have misunderstood the other posts but I thought flashing the international version completely disabled the USB port. Yet OP seems that device is being picked up in Windows but not successfully installed.
OP, can you please confirm? Check Device Manager and look for a device with a yellow exclamation point or triangle (if Win). If you can see it here you may just need to reinstall the Samsung drivers and get it installed that way. At the worst you're not any further along than you were before...
Alternatively you could try updating the driver manually, search C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG to see if it picks up.
If you haven't done so already, uninstall Kies and download the full Samsung driver suite from here:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Install the driver and maybe we can help you from there. Or if it works, there ya go.
I just went through this...what happened on my end:
-computer froze up while i was doing stock odin repack
-went to boot up phone and that messaged flashed
what i did:
-flashed stock el26 kernel(if you can't get into odin but pull the battery and keep trying..thats what i did)
-flash a rom like you normally would
PROFIT!
Hello,
I am unrooted my note 2 before, at that time it didnt give me this problem. Now this time i followed exact procedure, but Odin gives me failed notification and now i can only go to download mode. My fone was only 31% charged when I tried to unroot, Now I also don't know if the phone's charging or not. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you
Go to kies software and click tools.. repair firmware.. will ask for S/N numver located in the battery compartment behind the battery.
Kies will do the rest. Ur successfully unrooted and on total stock rom from Samsung.
Allbur data will be lost.

Thank you.......I am on it.......will get back to you as soon as I can......
same issue but worse
having the same problems but mine is worse...i flashed cyanogenmod on my note 2..but didnt do a back up,i was trying to unroot back to 4.1.2
but fails at system.
ive loaded CWM boot its stock at the boot screen.
i need help fast.
i checked my IMEI and it say my device is the europe region version...but that stock rom doesnt flash with odin..i have tried the the india and the new 4.3 leak as well same result.....im crying now.
I have tried emergency firmware recovery from kies, its not displaying my phone model (I think not detecting my phone). I tried upgrading the firmware, it got stucked in downloading the firmware from server( I waited for more than 2 hrs).
By lot of searching various threads, I tried different region stock firm...I tried different versions of odin....I tried different USB ports, but still failed.....
I almost lost hoped but when I changed to different usb cable (original samsung note 2)....EUREKA....IT PASSED......I think the problem was usb cable (I was using nokia usb cable).......
If anyone has similar problem...pls try changing usb ports...use samsung usb cable(note 2 only).....try charging ur battery.....try latest firmware...try different versions of odin...try kies emergency recovery firmware.........AS LONG AS UR PHONE GOES TO DOWNLOAD MODE DON"T LOOSE HOPE COZ UR PHONE CAN BE RECOVERED..........
still trying everything know to man....nothing will flash.
im just stock on the boot screen

yes i can.
i flashed cwm 6 root with odin. now im back to a very slow cyanogenmod.
can i load custom roms from here?
If you can into recovery mode (CWM) and if your phone is rooted you can flash any custom rom from there....
Check the threads of the roms which you want to install.....procedure is always there...

i know i can flash rom from recovery....but how do i load a rom to the root SD.
I'm kind of stuck here. I'm not big into flashing roms and stuff.....but had issues with the one ROM I flashed 2 years agao so I thought I'd upgrade to CM10 finally. I flashed it properly using CWM and had a working rom....but forgot todarkside super wipe and to install the gapps.zip. So I thought I'd just do it over again. Everything seemed fine in the reinstallations of all 3.....but when I started the phone up it got stuck on a boot loop on the Cyanogen animation. No big deal....I'll just flash it again. Go into recovery mode.....wipe the data/cache.....it freezes on the cache. Try to flash the rom, cWM , the old rom, anything.......it gets stuck on the first "Installing....." . Not good. Can't do anything in CWM.
So I read a million webpages trying to figure out what to do next......someone else had to have had this problem. Seems like my only option is to go through Odin and flash it there. I make sure I get the USB drivers from Samsung and install those first. The installation goes through no problem......I reboot....and then try to plug in my phone via Download Mode. I make sure I use the USB cable that came with my phone and use a powered port on the back of my computer (XP btw). Windows recognizes it with its usual bull**** fanfare of 3 different notifications......"Found New Hardware!" then it says Found! "MSM8x60" then it says Windows failed to fully install new hardware. In the Device Manager its shown as the "Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" with the dreaded yellow exclamation mark on it. I tried uninstalling the drivers....rebooting.....and then reinstalling. No luck. Tried an older driver package.....no luck. I've spent hours trying every combination with no luck. I can't get Windows to recognize it....or more importantly.....Odin to recognize it. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Sorry for my English.
A lot of different things can happen if you are not using the correct version of recovery. The latest recovery doesn't always mean it will flash properly. For example I had to use TWRP 2.6 for 4.3 based ROM and had to roll back to TWRP 2.5 for some other versions of a rom. I don't know which version of CM you are using but maybe try TWRP or another version of CM.

Yeah....that makes sense. But how do I flash a different version of CWM? I can't get the phone detected by Odin.
Resolved.....tried a couple of other PCs....found one that worked
I've been flashing nightlies for CM11 from their website for a while now using the latest CWM, and I've been reading up on Open Recovery scripts and apparently CWM isn't compatible which would make flashing nightlies so much easier.. So I used the goo.im app in the Play Store to flash the latest TWRP for my Note 2, it said flash complete and I went to go check it what the recovery looks like and it's not getting past the splash screen. I've tried putting it in download mode to see if there was anything I could flash to fix it, and my PC isn't picking it up through Odin. What can I do? I've let it sit at the splash screen for a while now and it's doing nothing. I've switch USB ports on my PC, I've even reinstalled the SAMSUNG_USB_DRIVERS, and it's still not reading the device through Odin, but it's sitting here at the Odin download mode. Thanks for any help in advance guys. Was there anything I was supposed to do before flashing the TWRP recovery .img?
Edit: and just for clarification.. I did Google search a few queries related to my question and got no real clear answers. I know I'm still kind of new, but I'm not dumb either. Haven't had too many issues switching roms etc, just switching recoveries.
Edit2: Another thing to add, is when you plug the Note 2 into the computer, it reads it as "Gadget Serial". I updated to Odinv3.09 and it's not reading my Note 2 so I could flash stock firmware.
Im using Twrp and i have tryied a few zips for few roms i hit install and it dose some stuff then it fails, it keeps saying error flashing zip what is with the is phone its been giving me hell all day
First off, I tried twrp once, and since it made changes (overriding stock recovery) without my consent, i went back to CWM and will never look back. Are the zips you're trying to flash for your model of phone, e.g. takju, yakju, etc.? Who is your carrier? Have you checked your downloaded file hashes to make sure the downloads are good?
im used to the cwm, i tried the twrp because it was in the kit i hate it tho, how do i get rid of it, ive been trying to flash the toro as my phone is on verizon, i downloaded a few on the phone on my pc, from here from the unlockr, i been trying to figure this thing out
Had the same issue with TWRP. I really liked a lot of the things that set it apart from CWM, but the darn thing just flat out refused to install anything I threw at it.
First off, you'll want to make sure you have adb and fastboot set up on your computer and know how to run them. There are some great guides out there to get you started if you need. Then if you want to get CWM installed, download the appropriate version from their download site. Plug your phone into your computer and boot it into fastboot, then you can use the "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" on your computer to install the CWM recovery image.
Ok, I was using the all in one took kit because this phone is different and it seems to make the job ten times harder, I managed to get to cmw on my phone but i still can not get the zip to flash, I would know how to work fast boot once i get it opened up ive used it quite a few times, ive gotten my roms from the site so i am pretty sure they are good i actual put the zip on the phone too to makes use it wasn't the cable or the phone being unplugged so do is there any other suggestions
