Rooted with stock el29 a while back. usb port seems unusable. have tried numerous cables. installed and uninstalled drivers countless times. Would like to get cwm5 flashed to phone but cant seem to figure out how without odin. Flash image gui doesnt support the 4g touch. is there any other options?
Try mobile Odin, almost the same as the PC version or look for the el26 kernel zip on the wiki

Thanx Cricket Droid mobile odin looks good. Does anyone have a good link to the rogue hitman 1.5(zip) or can I use the tar with mobile odin?
It charges fine. cant get a windows pc or linux to recognize it. I think some water got on it at some point. Never been able to figure it out.
Thanks guys. Mobile odin worked great, got hitman on there with cwm touch. Works great so far.
Your welcome, good to hear you got it working

I went back to stock rooted EL29...when i try to mobile odin to anything, the phone boots and hangs on sgII screen...
Anyone seen this before? Any suggestions to resolve? Trying to avoid ICS and my 6 hour battery life, but I'd like some flexibility...
What rom and kernel combo are you using? If both your rom and kernel are based on the same android os (gingerbread, ics, jelly bean) it should boot. If you have an ics rom with a gb kernel it won't boot. If you have a safe recovery installed try mounting usb storage and transferring a rom to your sd card to flash again...otherwise just do an odin oc that'll sort you out.

Hello guys,
I am rooted and running and older rom (viper rom trinity dk28) which is starting to glitch out a lot, because my computer will not recognize my usb connection regardless of the cable i use. I have used odin several times but now that the usb connction doesnt fucntion i am sol. Are there any of the new modems that are cmw flashable?
The acs updater app has an option to flash the EC05 modem. I have never tried it myself to verify if it actually works or not.

ok cool, ill give it a shot. Thanks!
To start things off, let me just say that I just installed the stock eh17 rom and put the AIO mod on top of it and this is the best looking and most stable that my phone has been since making the leap to gingerbread. However....the AIO mod wiped out CWM recovery for some reason and reverted me to stock. As far as I can tell I'm still rooted, I did the terminal test, I have SU, and wireless tether for root users which works fine....but no CWM.
Now I know most would say just odin it back but here in lies my second problem which probably deserves a thread of its own but ties in with this one. My pc just up and stopped recognizing my epic. I have 3 different cables two crap samsung and a better one, none of which work in ANY of my ports. I just odin'd EH06 like a week ago, but still I have tried updating my drivers with no avail. My device manager does not recognize or list my android device at all, I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, I have rebooted both devices several times and still get nothin. The only thing that I remember chaning between when it worked and when it didn't was I flashed an ext4 rom...could that be it? I've tried going back and it still doesn't work....
Anywa...deep breath...my main question is, is there a way to get CWM back on a rooted, deodexed, supuer user granted phone? Or am I screwed in that department? I guess on the bright side if I can't mod my phone anymore, at least its stable and looks good.....

Sometimes you can have 2 recoveries at one time. Have you tried 3 finger boot and rom manager to get into recovery?

So what do you get when you three finger into recovery? Stock recovery?
I get stock recovery and I have tried rom manager to no avail.....I also tried downloading it and running it as a update zip but it said the signatures were bad...

Yeah, you can only use signed update.zips. If no computer recognizes your phone then nothing will get CWM recovery back on. ADB needs to see your phone. if you have done the whole different cables, different ports, new drivers thing then you are mostly screwed. There is an EH17 Update.zip in development you can try.

Hey, try running the Samsung 1.3.08 driver pack in XP Service Pack 3 Compatibility Mode (via Rclick>Properties over the msi or exe file in Win7). Once installed just close. Then go to the [Guide] [Recovery] [Heimdall] Clockwork Mod 3.1.0.1 Purple Heimdall Epic thread here in Epic Android Development section.. Down and install Heimdall and run the driver pack (you may have to run PDANet as well). This is only the only way I can get reconnected in DL mode once my drivers go bat-****, which for some reason they do about every 6 weeks.
And after Heimdall recognizes your Epic, you can just shut it down and use Odin for your tar-balling fix if that is your fancy because after that Odin will COM your Epic again as well.
PM me if you need help on this, I am up till 2am most nights
If you are still on GB, only flash the recovery. Otherwise you are safe to flah kernel as well.
As far as all the driver crap
Heimdall has it's own driver pack to install. And is more robust. You will be able to install just the recovery this way. I used it to swap out Bonsai recovery with CWM 3.1.0.1.
Hello, I was on an ics rom and wanted to flash a different, so I mobile odined the el26 kernel which I thought it was the cwm one.... I guess not and now the only thing I can do is get to stock recovery and all that let's me do is apply an update. Is there anything I can put on the sd card ofu other phone and then swap that the recovery will let me flash? I know I can just odin when I get home but trying to do this from work. Thanks

You could put your phone into download mode and install one of sfhub's one click factory restores.
He has one for pretty much every version.

There is one kernel with CWM and one without it.
You'll have to wait until you get home. You have a GB kernel with an ICS ROM and that's why it won't boot all the way. And since you can't turn the phone all the way on Mobile Odin is out of the question. There really is no way to fix it without your computer.

For the past few days my phone has been unable to connect to my computer. I tried uninstalling and re-installing drivers however that did not work so finally decided to try installing a new kernel using mobile odin - thinking maybe it was a problem with the other kernel. Well that didn't work either and now my phone can boot into odin mode and CWM v5.0.2.7 but it cannot flash a new ROM or connect to my PC. When trying to flash a new ROM it throws an error (status 7) which from the code appears to mean my phone doesn't realize that it's a sph-d710... I should also mention that when attempting to mount USB storage (both before and after the 'new' kernel) it just takes me to a screen that gives me an "unmount" option (which doesn't seem to do anything). Does anybody have any advice or should I just give in and pay the $100 for a new phone?

No. I can boot into Odin but my computer still doesn't recognize the device. I've also tried using different cables and USB ports (just in case).
Have you.tried using a different PC? Did you flash anything before (and what rom are you running?)

Yes, I have tried on another PC as well as a MAC. I have flashed other ROM's before - my recent cycle is:
GB27 -> Wild for the Night -> ReVolt
The problem began after flashing Wild for the Night. At first I thought it was just that ROM so I tried others. While on Wild for the Night, my PC would still recognize the device, I just couldn't access the internal SD; it wasn't until flashing ReVolt that my PC wouldn't recognize the device. I think what I did was flashed GB27 (thinking it was a gingerbread build) before flashing Wild for the Night and that may be what caused the issue.
ReVolt was the last ROM I was running before putting a different kernel on it - which is why it won't boot now (it just goes straight into CWM).
I am having issues booting into CWM EL26 + EL29 Recoveries.
I am able to odin the kernal but it just sticks on the Samsung logo if I try to access CWM.
It used to reboot and either go right into CWM or I would do Volume Up and Power to access.
I am currently on Paradox Rom GB27. I am trying to flash a ROM that needs EL26 or EL29 but cant access.
Any idea why I cannot access?
Also, if I have the charger plugged in (usb to comp), the screen gets stuck on a battery icon like its charging but doesnt move.
(think thats just because the charger is plugged in) BUT it seems that whatever this kernal is doing it the phone it is Freezing it at that first boot point.
I reflashed GB27 so im fine for now but just want to solve this mystery.
Any help appreciated! thanks!!

I use Mobile Odin to flash el29 direct boot kernel..and have never had an issue.. There is a lite version of mobile Odin on xda.. I would try that.. Make sure the md5's match on the kernel.. Mobile Odin will check it for you..

I can try mobile odin. I have the full version. I will give it a shot. The thing is
I had those kernals for over a year, always used them, worked fine.
Now all of a sudden they dont. I tried downloading agai , checked md5, everything appears correct.
I will post back the results.

No luck with mobile odin. Same thing. Stuck at the White Samsung Logo.
I am out of options. Unless there is another kernel I can try that is similar to el26 + el29.
Its weird how gb27 works fine... I just dont understand that. Could something be broke or misconfigured on my phone to not allow
installing el26 + el29?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I will stick with Paradox for now.
I wanted to try multi window rom but flashing on gb27 gives force closes and constant reboots.
Is it possible that once im on gb27, I cant go back and flash a gb rom? Ive done it
Before so thats why im stumped. Its like my phone doesnt support it.
I went on rwilco and downloaded multiple files and made sure they were with cwm.
They all do the same thing. Heres one for you... would water damage cause those kernels not to work?
Phones fine besides the kernel issue.
Also is it possible when doing cleanup on my phone and deleting
Old backups cause an issue? I thought to myself... wait I can restore an old rom with
El29! Lol no where to be found, already got rid of them.

I've flashed many ROMs..from GB to JB and back the other way..lol. Never had that problem..you could try to go into recovery and flash the format all x 2.. Then flash the el26 kernel zip..reboot recovery.. I don't know...might work..The format all x 2 will get ya ready for flashing GB/ICS so it might help..once on el26 you can use jb format all x 2 to get ready for the new jb ROM flash.. Just a thought...

Try doing an Odin stock rooted Rom flash on ICS and then working from there using mobile Odin. Sometimes I can't do the pc Odin for those kernels so I use mobile Odin and it works perfect.
If you're trying to flash the new SHOShock Rom by TD then I'm having issues with that too. My phone gets stuck on a boot cycle and if I try to flash a nandroid back up then it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Only way out of it was flashing a GB27 rooted stock Rom in pc Odin.

Good looking out.. Nice to see people trying to help..This is the best forum...in my opinion..

How did you wipe the preload? I'm having issues flashing shostock and that might help me successfully flash it. Thanks!

First, download the el29 recovery kernel zip located in the rwilco repository.
Next either flash, or already be on the gb27 agat recovery kernel (also can be found in repository).
While in agat recovery, navigate to "mounts and storage"
Select "format /preload" (and whatever else you want to wipe out)
Back out, then "install zip from SD card"
Flash the el29 zip and you should be good to go.
