[Q] bricked my epic

i was trying to revert th modem back eco5 so i could flash the EI22 modem. while flashing the ec05 modem in odin it got hung up. i unplug the phone. i tried it again and it wouldn't work then i got a phone with an arrow pointing to a computer. now i can't even get it into download mode and when i do it will stay for a few seconds and turn off. any ideas?

Either send to the unbrickable guy or bring it into sprint and say it was updating and then stopped working

Second that ^^^
I also recommend that you take it to a sprint repair store rather that a Corporate Sprint store. They will give you better service (from my experience) and arent so worried about rooted phones. They have the software to flash back to Stock if they can get it to boot. If not they will probibly replace it for free (if yo have insurance)

there are sprints stores that repair here. i took it to one and they said that they have to replace something on the inside. i have to wait for the part to come in. just trying to see if something can be done so i'm not without my phone. i can't live without it lol

the unbrickable mod has apparently been activated, something about the galaxy player having the same type of SOC iirc. so yeah go check the unbrickable thread the ressurrector thing needs testers

Well if they are going to fix your phone then i would say just wait. Sending it to Adam for the unbrickable mod would take much longer(if you even considered it). Although they do despritely need bricked phones to do thorough testing lol.
besides that if you want to keep tring to get into DL mode and then Odin it would be your best bet and hope it works so that you wont be without a phone.

Try Odin and download mode with the battery out. Connect to computer and put into download mode, Odin ec05 tar then when finished put battery back in and boot.

Please send the device my way so I can do a writeup for UnBrickable Mod. Assuming it was only the software flash, and no hardware damage has ocurred, I can recover it.
Once I get the device in hand and mod it, you'll have the first ever UnBrickable Epic 4G, a true development platform. Also, I can release a Heimdall One-Click back to stock and you'll never have to worry about bricking again.
Send me a PM and I'll take care of it. It would help out everyone.

so here's an update for anybody keeping up with this small thread. i just sent my epic to Adam. so hopefully the unbrickable mod will make it to the epic

your welcome. i can't theme or develop yet so i gotta pitch in where i can. now if i can only figure out what cause my epic to brick lol. i've used odin before with no problem but from some reason it bricked my epic using it on my new laptop

help please!

i think i bricked my epic 4g touch. i had ics fb21 on it and i tried to restore a gingerbread rom back onto it via cwm and something went terribly wrong. i tried all the steps in qbking77s youtube video about unbricking/unrooting. my phone successfully went through the steps but when it reboots it just boot loops. when i try to boot into recovery it continues to bootloop. download mode is still available? any suggestions? thanks in advanced

Have you tried putting it into download mode and then using one of the one click restores via odin? If its bootlooping, your not at a total loss

wow, thought so, i guess there hasnt been a way to undo this? it only gets stuck when i use the one click odin. when i use the regular odin it completes but just bootloops. could i take this to a sprint repair center?

read links
u have a bad data partition and are bricked .... read before doing anything like this ....many people before you did this and there is no way back besides jtag ....
you can take to sprint and they may replace but who knows they may turn you away

Oh man...ROM Manager and Touch recovery?... not sure if that's fixable
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

I believe a few people have said it already. But don't use from manager to flash recoveries. Especially the touch one. You will brick your phone and can't fix it. Only a JTAG service would fix it or a replacement by sprint. Either way good luck and read up on stuff before you try it out.

OH Shix, Dang Dawg, I didn't know there was a such thing as a soft/full brick! I am lucky, I was using mobile odin and flashed the md5 check instead of the tar for fb21 modem and my phone was acting very similar but I just flashed the ONE CLICK EL29 and I was back to stock. hope if you havent tried that, you do and it works for you. I didn't like the touch cwm. but now I am deleting it from sdcard so i dont mistakenly soft/full brick my device. Keep us updated!

UPDATE
UPDATE
after using odin to unroot/unbrick my epic4gt and having still it fail to turn on passed the boot screen, i took my busted phone back to sprint on monday. told them what the problem was, "my phone wont go passed the first screen when i turn it on". they said "ok, we'll just erase everything off, should be as good as new".
i stood around waiting for about 45 minutes, i was so bored i even shamefully sent out a tweet from an iphone..smh. sales associate then came back to me saying," ive never seen anything like this, nothing will work on it, you must have rooted this phone?" my response was "i have done nothing to that phone".
with a kinda upset smirk on his face he says, "it had to be rooted buuuuut since we have no proof we will order you a phone for free, come pick it up friday."
life has been so tough w/out my epic for a whole week, happy that i get my new one on friday

You know...
I'm starting to wonder how I feel about ppl that brick their phones, through fault of their Own, then take them into sprint claiming the "update broke it!", "i never rooted that! i have No Idea what you're talking about!", and I wonder if this is going to make it harder for people with Legitimate issues to get replacements, and affect the way Sprint looks at rooting our phones in general. This Affects Their Bottom Line.

No modem is going to change your service provider. Service provider settings are stored in the phones radio software which can only be edited via pc software.

Yes, cdma software (qpst, dfs, cdma tool etc) is needed to edit radio settings and no there will not be an easier way to flash to boost mobile no matter if it comes out for boost or not. The only advantage of it coming to boost is that you can probably flash a stock boost rom that will have the correct apn settings but thats really easy to change and has nothing to do with getting a phone to run on a different carrier. The only thing apn really affects is mms.

Modems

Hey guys. I'm over on the gs2 t989 side. Just trying to help a buddy out. He is looking for different modems to flash to try and get better signal. Any help would be appreciated. Search wasn't to kind.

Modem repo link. Should have instructions and such as well. Hopefully this helps.

Hey OP - Don't know why someone couldn't tell you, since likely you won't find in a search but rather buried in threads, that it has also been found that from builds Fi03 and forward, that there are changes in not only the modem but the rom and kernel as well that effect 4g speeds for the better. I believe that is why elliwigy mentioned that it's rom/kernel dependent, when usually it isn't.
If you look at the build discussion threads, say Fi27 for example, you'll find modem/speed discussion as well as finding the same tests/discussions in kernel discussion threads.
So, in this case, just looking at modems isn't going to give you all the information that is currently out there.
Talk to your buddy and find out if 4g is in play for them, hopefully that will help you in helping them.

yea i wasnt tryna be rude to op lol.. its just every modem ive flashed on different set ups has given me different speeds every time.. and others in other discussions with same set ups ive had great service with others have not.. it also sometimes isnt the modem.. sometimes its the area you live in.. i for one get terrible speeds everywhere i go in phx no matter what im on.. and i have to have an airave in my house just to connect to that.. im always on wifi but data speeds are terrible here with sprint.. so my point was not to not help, but to encourage you to read a few posts like others suggested which should be easy to find.. and also to encourage you to experiment and flash away until you find the best one for his phone.. on another note, you can always try a different prl .

Absolutely. My wording was bad. I didn't mean to infer that you were being rude. It's just that particular change along with the information that has been seen with the latest builds (along with the changes just in fi03,22,25,27) along with the depths of testing with mixed roms, kernels etc, is very scattered at this point. 4 threads, multiple setup tests, what have you, make it kind of hard to follow.

Whats the trick for a Hard Brick??

I can get Qhsusb_dload to show up from time to time on my PC when it connects. but I went to try and flash the Slim Rom from the original android section and it bricked my phone. no screen light up or anything. no LED flashing. i just get Qhsusb_dload when i connect to a PC.
What tricks can i do to get odin to see this.

You need an attitude check. This was posted in Q&A, he had a question and needs help. If this was posted in the wrong forum, I could MAYBE see this kind of attitude but not here. You were helpful in giving him a link to get his device repaired, but the rest of it was just uncalled for.

I did research and no one gave a straight answer anywhere. i googled countless places. a lot of them said to do these button combinations and none worked. some say the only way to do it is through a jig. as you say Jtag. i do everything the way i usually do it by reading the posts before flashing.. idk what went wrong here.

As far as I know, he is right about JTAG being your only repair option. This may sound like an obvious question, but I have seen this happen before. Are you sure you were downloading from the right forum? (i.e. not accidentally downloading a ROM meant for another carrier.)

I'm kind of curious how this happens. Never heard of bricking from simply flashing a rom.

If rom is for another carrier or the international version of the S3 (i believe the I9300) then it'll brick it quick.

I thought the i9300 is the sprint version. i had looked it up... but oh well. I did more research i missed one step which may have caused it, or my download corrupted. But my next option is to find someone with a Jtag in my area.

Sprint is the SPH-L710. So yeah.. may have flashed the wrong rom.. Always double check.. and if your in doubt.. ASK! lol

Use a jig. Will boot up into download mode. You need to use Odin and flash stock. Qbking video is really helpful. Good luck.

Yup you flashed the wrong ROM. I had this happen on my Evo 3D, I don't remember which ROM it was but someone had linked to it from the CDMA forum and I took their word for it being a CDMA ROM. It was GSM. Fortunately I was still able to load hboot and loaded clockwork mod via fast boot. I'm sure you've tried going into download mode or recovery a hundred times by now, but one hundred and one wouldn't hurt. Make sure you are pressing the right buttons in the right combination and letting go at the right time. Honestly I think the SIII is a pain to get into D/L or recovery mode. It always takes me a few tries. If you can do that, you won't need to JTAG it. Good luck!

Q&A is for questions
No one should be vilified for asking a question, in the proper place, after researching - and no one should be made to feel worse than they already do when they've got an expensive paperweight they're trying to resurrect. We were all new once. Have patience and teach - especially to those who really seek to learn from their mistakes.

Bummer! good to see a lot of evo guys making thier way over.
