I think you can also use sfhub's one-click back to EL29 and use the autoroot tool to unroot.

Use the one-click method to get you back to EL29, since you're coming from an ICS ROM back to GB you should use the full rather than the no-data. One you've done that, then download and extract the autoroot tool and follow the prompts to get you to the unrooting. Make sure you have USB debugging turned on before using autoroot.

When you plug the phone in while in Odin mode, are you getting the yellow highlighted box with COMxx in it to indicate the computer is recognizing your phone?
Another possible path is to pop out your sdcard, put it into the computer and load up some files that can be flashed via recovery (if you have recovery installed) then reinsert the card, hold power and volume up button to boot into recovery and flash a new build that way.

I've been trying to use the one click option, my phone is recognized but it won't proceed to completetion, i guess it's bricked. Is there anything i can do?

So let me get this straight. You put your phone into Odin/download mode, start the one click, and it fails? Does Odin notice your phone while in Odin/download mode?

I know this is getting frustrating for you, but have you tried other one-click downloads? EL26 or even any of the ICS ones just to get the phone back on?
I'll see if I can re-route sfhub over here, maybe he knows of something we aren't thinking to try.

Idk it sounds like he either had a bad download or possibly didn't put it into Odin mode or something. Just a thought I suppose.

Okay if it is recognizing your phone then try downloading another one-click and using it, or even re-downloading the same one you already have.

So even if my device is bricked it will load this, as long as odin recognizes it?

[Q] Can't ODIN Epic 4g Stuck in Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue?

After trying to ODIN a stock rom I am now stuck on the screen, firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I can get into the ODIN download mode, but every rom I download fails. I want to through this freaking phone as I've been working on this for hours with many different roms and they ALL fail. Any help please and thank you - Adam

Not sure what your doing or how. Sounds like you got an OTA and tried to install it. Or you're installing something else.
But if you have an Epic 4G Touch (Sprint).
Then here is your solution.
Download sfhub's One-Click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 [Choose Reset or No data, your choice.
Install the latest Samsung drivers http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Put your phone into download mode:
Power off completely
Then Hold the Power On + the Volume Down buttons till you get to a 'confirmation' screen and click the Volume Up button to enter 'Download Mode'.
Launch the One Click on your PC.
Then plug you phone into the PC via USB cable. You should see a COMM port light up.
Then click on start and you will be back to stock (and rooted).
If you want a CWM recovery (and kernel, they are together) you can use sfhub's 'Autoroot' package to add that.
The directions there are VERY detailed and simple to follow.
Take your time.
Read through the stickies, how tos and tutorials and through the many posts by the developers. Or you will end up with a pretty paperweight.
Good luck

Still don't know what is wrong with my phone, every time I ODIN=FAIL

Can you link to the Odin you attempted or did you try the ff18 LB linked for you?
And please clarify that you used a one click or manual Odin.
:edit: I found this thread that was the exact situation that you're in. Looks like manually using Odin might get you back on track if One clicks keep failing.

[Q] unable to access cwm recovery

Hi all,
I have been using cyanogenmod 10 beta 2 for a long while, this morning after making a call, set the phone down for a bit. later when i picked it up, the screen wasn't coming on, so thinking it was some frozen application, reset the phone by pulling the battery out.
when it started booting up, it wouldn't go past the samsung splash screen. I was able to access cwm recovery (volume up + power button) at this moment though. someone on here advised that i should try a nightly but seeing as how i couldn't get access to put anything on the SD card, i flashed what i had at that moment, cm 10 beta 2 (didn't erase cache or dalvik). flashing this still resulted the phone not being able to get past the samsung splash screen but now i can't get into cwm recovery either. I am able to access odin mode though.
How would I go about solving this dilemma without losing user data if possible?

Flash el26 kernel in odin. Backup the rom in cwm. Either flash a new rom. Or odin a one click. Then use titanium backup pro to extract the apps from the backup. Only way I know how to do it. Others may chime in. As I'm sure that's not the only way

yeah i did, then volume up to go into download mode. there's was no progress bar on the phone after clicking start on the pc so i shut it off. I can still get into odin mode.
was planning on trying this "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore_v2" next to see if that would work. really not sure what to do.

Are you sure that the proper drivers were installed? You should reinstall them either ways just to be sure. Then retry Odining your file

Blue light that blinks on and off or blue light that stays on?
On/Off might be saveable, just probably need to charge the battery on another device or external charger.

nope, it's a constant blue light. will most likely sell for parts now as the display is in pristine condition (had screen protector from the beginning). whats the going rate for sell for parts?

Galaxy S2 Freezes on Start and Won't Flash Anything

I recently acquired an Epic 4G Touch that wouldn't boot into the stock ROM. I thought "Awesome! The ROM must be corrupted. I'll just Odin it back to stock and have a new SG2." Well, I tried Odining it back to stock. I tried the Gingerbread EL29 stock tar image and it hung on the Sbl.bin. I thought maybe my download was just corrupt but after trying 2 other GB odin images it still wouldn't flash. Then I tried flashing CWM recovery through odin and that hung at NAND Write Start. I've switched cables, USB slots and computers. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. I would really like to get this phone running so I can upgrade my SGS1.
Edit- Just to clarify, I never tried to flash anything through CWM. I tried flashing a kernel that had CWM through Odin.

I put the ROM into the PDA slot. Here's what happened in Odin:

This is very confusing... How are you trying to flash with CWM if you can't get into recovery mode?
What exactly is happening with the device when you try to power it on?
What happens when you try to go into download mode using Vol down+power?
What happens when you try to get to recovery using vol up+power?

Agreed.
Op - You're trying to write to the phone and, my guess is, you're making a bad situation worse since your getting partial writes. Especially that first screen where pit was mapped and partial flash took, such as boot.
Dont know where crawrj is, but try reaching out to Garwynn. He knows A LOT.

What? When did I say I was flashing through CWM? I've never even been able to boot to CWM. I said I was trying to flash CWM through download mode which failed. When I try to boot, it sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 kernel load screen. When I try to boot into recovery it sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 kernel load screen.

Sorry. I misread the OP.
Ok. Try this to get into Recovery
Press and hold the vol up+power button until the splash screen shows up
After the splash shows release the power button and then continue to hold the vol up button. It should take you right to recovery.

I've done this atleast 20 times (21 now after this post) and it just sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen. I'm sure I screwed it even further by trying to flash CWM recovery. When I first got it, it booted into the recovery screen but wouldn't actually fully load into recovery. I would just get the Android character but no text. These are the weirdest issues I've ever had with an Android device.

Do you have an external SD card installed? If so, remove it and try to boot into recovery again.

It fails every time it trys to flash files to the NAND memory. Does this mean the internal storage is screwed?

That is possible. You can try to call Sprint and tell them you/a friend was trying to update to ICS and rebooted and it wont boot fully. Act dumb and see if they will replace it. Since it won't boot to anything at all, there is really no way for them to tell. Just say that you bought it from said friend. It is worth a shot. I have done it before with AT&T when I screwed up a Captivate doing a hardware mod.
I just told them that I bought it online and tried to update it but after the update, it wouldn't power on. They let me replace it.

Either that or try J-Tag. But I don't know if that will fix it.

That and it's 50 bucks and a time to wait..

OK I will definetly try that, thanks. If they don't replace it, I will just sell it for parts and keep using my Epic 4G. Thanks for all of your help

Wait oh wait I have a few questions myself lol what odin are you using? Did you try any one clicks? Did you try removing the sd card and then odin? Did you try to leave battery out all night then try odin again with no sdcard?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I tried 2 different versions of Odin;1.x and 3.x. I used multiple one clicks. I pulled the sd card before flashing. I had to buy a battery for it when I got it and the previous owner had kept the battery out of it for at least a month. I really appreciate all answers but I really feel like I've tried everything :|

It is possible using a pit file would help. The pit file from when this phone came out would be best. Then run a gb rom in odin along with the pit. If you find the pit link it here before you use it. Wouldn't want more problems.

One Click restores are built with the proper pit of 9-16-11. But it sounds like he's already tried multiple builds.
Flashing each component isn't a bad suggestion but with using the pit, I wouldn't necessarily use just a rom, I'd use a tar since it would contain everything needed to restore the bootloader (boot, Sbl, param, recovery..)
Or try flashing an built bootloader to see if he could get back into recovery alone. There are a few already made in RWilco's Repo..

Tried 3.07 ,3.04 ,even 1.85 Bro!! No luck!!!

Try different port (if on PC better on backside)
Don't use any extension cable/usb hub
Disable firewall and antivirus
Uninstall kies and just install samsung usb driver (you get from my thread you are following)
Btw flashing my prerooted rom is exactly same with rooting with option one but even without raising counter.
But if you having problem that also fail flashing prerooted rom.

Tried Different cables and PC but still the same error

There is no other trick except said you. Rarely rae I have seen few cases (on note1)where device getting odin locked and nothing works
Still try calmly and follow to the letter to check nothing is missing. Note2 also reportedly not works on old usb 1 port, make sure pc you are trying having usb 2.0 port. I recommend xp machine.
