USB & CMW NOT WORKING -Need to return to stock

Guys I have done it now. . I was rooting and ROMing my wifes phone without her knowledge, then had a brilliant Idea to update CWM to latest version. Tried Odin and discovered USB is broken, Tried to take it back to Sprint and they discovered ROOT and rejected me until I return it to stock. when I trie to load into recovery I got the image below, diligently I rebooted, reflashed. To know avail. What is a loving husband supposed to do?
I am running the latest ACS EPIC 4G ROM, nothing wrong with the ROM still works.
Problem:
1. USB does not work
2. Clockwork Mod Lost/overwritten
3. Need to return to stock to return to Sprint
4. wife is unaware of Mods, except to realize that phone is faster.

USB Not working & LOST Clockwork Mod Recovery
These are the images that I am getting when I try to get into recovery.

That isnt Clockwork. That is stock recovery. Flash CWM with odin or just odin to stock.
Edit: just read about USB. Hmmm. This is a hard one. Try using rom manager again and choose flash CWM.

Rooting Help

Got my replacement epic, decided to root it today.
Rooted a few epics, haven't had problems...until now.
Did the general stuff...odined CWM 5.0.2.7then booted phone to recovery.
The first problem i found.
1. the samsung boot screen did not flash on before cwm popped up
2. After cwm oped up the following messages appeared
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I then proceded to flash the deodexed prerooted BML FC09 rom.
I then realized, the phone won't boot...blank screen with lower buttons lit.
After a few tries the same results appear.
I've never had troubles rooting phones, ugh whats up.

Your replacement epic was on mtd. Meaning it was already rooted. That is why when you odined clockworkmod it did that error. Because you odined a BML recovery when the phone was on an mtd partition. ( at least this is my guess)
You'll have to repartition and odin a stock rom. Give me a second to get you the youtube how to.

i odined "SPH-D700-FC09-8Gb-REL" with re-partion checked before i odined the CWM the second time. same thing happened.

Might be odining the wrong recovery?
Also your supposed to odin the gba3.tar kernel from mkasick. Then odin clockwork mod.
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus via XDA Premium

thought the same thing, so i redownloaded the tar posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
and retried, same results.
Note: it let's me access the recovery, but booting rom's is broken and the 'SAMSUNG' boot screen doesn't show. As well as the messages posted above appear in the recov.
I'm tempted to odin to a froyo rom, use the One-click method, then upgrade my cwm and flash gingerbread and a new modem.

Weird this is above my head. Usually repartitioning cures all but this is just odd. The sd card in? Does it boot after flashing the stock rom?
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus via XDA Premium

SD card is in, If i odin back to stock then yes it will boot.
do you mean flash stock after odining CWM?

No... just flashing stock it boots. Then try flashing the gba3.tar from mkasick you can search... epic gb kernel source... and its the ei22 kernel. Try odining that then pop out the battery unplug the phone put back in the battery and go back into download mode. Odin in recovery and then see what happens.

so flash the gb3a ei22 kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&highlight=epic+gb+kernel+source#post18512488 then flash cwm?
i'll post back with results.

Yep but you have to go back to stock first then do that.

ugh...thanks for trying.
well, im flashing a prerooted froyo rom, i'll then proceed to flash the CWM5 via CWM3, then update to gingerbread. If this doesn't work its a HUUGGGEE waste of time.
I will then ask for another replacement EPIC as the lower buttons have a pretty bad response rate.
fixed, still have broken bootscreen.
EDIT: bootscreen only broken on stock, **** stock.

So you are all good now?

[Q] Stuck on boot screen after wiping system (accidentally)

Just to say, I have rooted a lot of devices and this is the first time this has ever happen to me!
While in recovery, I hit the wipe system button and now the device says that there is no OS on the device and is stuck on the boot screen. Is there any way to correct this? I am so lost without my GN2!

Would you happen to have a link for me. It seems that somehow my memory card I had in the device is currupt or damaged.

My computer is not recognizing my device. It will not recognize on boot screen or in recovery.

Thank you all for the guidance! I am unrooted back to stock but i will not be here long. lol would like to find a nice rom. Jellybomb is cool but to much blue and i can not swap between calls on call-waiting and my pandora wont work. Guess that is something to talk bout in that forum. THANX AGAIN!!!!!

Same phone same problem with a twist
Please help as i have the same problem. In addition, connectin to odin my phone isnt recongnized. Yes drivers are up to date. Im rather green i havent been able to flash a rom yet. Tried flashing diffrent versions of macksrom, but i was successful in flashing perseus kernal.

you could trying start odin then plug up phone while off . and boot in to download mode that way. I find that works sometimes.

[Q] Need help ASAP! :c

Hello all, My name is Zach. I've been around XDA for a while, but haven't really posted anything, I thanked devs for work and have been flashing my phone for a while now. Well, last night, I was exhausted, and shouldn't have done what I did. I flashed the full "CODE_SPH-D710.GA10_818252_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" to my phone via mobile odin from an ics rom (Phantoms ff18 I believe). Everything was going fine until the phone just shut off, and it booted straight into recovery mode.
Well now my phone will not boot, and I have no access to my external memory card via CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 that was installed from the tar. All of my roms are on my external.
Every time I plug it into the computer I get "USB device is not recognized" and it installs an "Unknown Device" driver from windows. So I can not mount it in CWM to send the files to internal.
I have tried removing all drivers and kies, restarting, reinstalling, then plugging my phone back in about 1000 times now.
Now some good news, I can get into Odin mode, but odin does not recognize it due to the problem above^
My question is, is there still hope? and can anyone help me?

I would try redownloading drivers on a diffrent computer if possible and make sure you have original cord. You can also try to wipe data via stock recovery and try to boot again just some quick thoughts also could try to find one of the one clicks and pull cord out and put back in once you open the one click (not during the one click) and see if it will show then start the one click also make sure you have the correct drivers install if you go to sextapes site they have everything you need. Hope it turns out ok:beer:

I have tried both my laptops, original cord, multiple other cords, have tried wiping in the CWM to nothing new, I do have the correct drivers and have tried multiple versions of them :/
Opening a one click and plugging the phone in just gives me "USB device not recognized"

Im a little confused you have cwm?
Reading your post cwm does not come with the leaked build you have to flash agats recovery after. So im going to assume that your talking stock recovery.

Maybe it stuck from phantom's ff18 rom? But yes CWM-based recovery 5.0.2.3
If I could get it to recognize my external SD card then I can flash a rom.

I hope its fixable :/

Get a Micro SD USB adapter. You can transfer the files with that.

Well. If your phone still turns on there's hope. After you plug it into your computer and it installs that unknown device or whatever go to control panel -> system -> device manager.
Right click on the unknown device, update driver, browse my computer for drivers, let me pick from list of drivers, then forcefully install the samsung driver through there and then try to odin a stock ICS tar http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/LeakSite/?dir=Leaks/Samsung Epic 4G Touch/FI27/Original TAR/.
After the you install the tar I would boot into recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot to make sure it's clean. Then after you're back to stock then you can root recovery whatever and try flashing JB again. I suggest using CWM and a zip file this time around though. Good luck.

I'm not sure what exactly happened but it sounds as if you are screwed if Odin doesn't recognize it at this point. It sounds like something went very wrong with the bootloader to me, maybe Mobiletech can help repair your device for $50 if all other advise fails.

Delete all Sammy drivers from your laptop restart your laptop then install the drivers you get from the link

If that doesn't work then why don't you boot into the ROM, use mobile Odin and flash the modem and recovery you want t seperately(if you can)

Read the original post , the phone does NOT boot into android, it stays on the splash screen, forever.

Is it possible to boot an android OS from my external memory card? I know you could do it on the NOOK Color

Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.

So, to recap:
You were on FF18 with custom recovery, went to flash the GA10 tar via MO, phone died during process, isn't recognized when phone is in Odin mode and connected to a pc, you can still get to recovery and download mode on the phone but can't flash because it's not recognized, removed/re installed
Correct?
Have you tried another pc? Have you tried another cable? Have you pulled the sd card out and tried reading that on a pc?

There is some sort of lesson to be learned here. :sly:
People pay attention.

Id didn't die, it just turned off, and restarted straight into the recovery. I have tried 3, and 4 different cables, the SD cards reads in the computer but isn't showing up in the recovery, I get "No files found" and since I cant boot, I cant change the directory for the SD card.

Yes, But hopefully my phone is revivable!

Have you tried another pc?
And was it a full flash? You saw pass and it restarted?
:edit: Just saw your post about using both laptops.
What gets me, the flashing process and a restart and still you're left with the custom recovery. I'm interested in where the flash got to.. since the tar doesn't flash a custom recovery..
One thing to try - Put the phone in Odin mode, have it plugged into the laptop, then start odin. Try it backwards..
Which version of Odin are you using?

If you can get into recovery i would try and put a rom on an external sd card (either through an adapter or other phone) and then put that sd card into the s3 and flash the rom.

Yes, just place the custom rom in an external sd card and reflash that.
