Tried to Root - Might have bricked. Help needed. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys, I was having GPS issues and while I didn't really want a custom ROM, I read about an app called Fasterfix but it needs root access, so I figured I would root it. I used this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229, the FH13 version. It failed about 1/4 the way through. Now when my phone starts it says, "Firmware Upgraded encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
What should I do?

Yes sir! Just remember it GB not ICS. IMO GB is the best for battery life and data speeds are way better than ICS

I used the FF18 one click restore and it worked, but I don't understand why the FH13 would have failed when my phone had the 13 update...

Trying to go back to GB after FB17. Brick now?

I renamed touch cwm recovery to update.zip, put it in /cache, then used the stock FB17 recovery to flash that recovery from cache.
The stock recovery restarted into cwm.
I then did clear data/factory reset, it said "formatting data, formatting cache", and then it hung up. I tried hard reset by holding power button.
Now, whenever I power on the phone, it just has the blue led lit and does nothing.
I tried power+vol up/vol down after a battery pull. Same result.
Is this thing bricked?
What are my options?
Thanks.
I've went back and forth countless times. I'd suggest using odin to go back.

Guess nobody reads around here. As much as I wanna try a leak, Ive been using parts of the day to gather knowledge before I get flash slappy. ONCE AGAIN to anbody who reads this do NOT use rom manager it has caused multiple issues. Use odin to get back to a stock recovery and THEN restore a nandroid.

You don't even need to rename the recovery kernel to update.zip. I've been flashing EL29 kernel with FB17's stock recovery a lot to switch back and forth. Unfortunately as I have read, flashing the touch recovery is known to be problematic. I flash steady's EL29 kernel and everything went well.

well firstly get the tmobile 2.3.6 kernel and flash it ( if you dont and revert to stock you will bootloop) then download the unroot file its in the dev section unzip it then place the tar file on pda and flash but do a factory reset before you flash the process takes about ten minutes.. reboot and well i did another factory reset.. also flash the vl1 radio as well before you flash odin..

Download that zip. (this the newest update released yesterday)
And download odin from http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Then follows these steps:
1) Power off your phone
2) Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
3) Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding with 'Warning' appears.
4) Press Volume UP and start ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
5) Click PDA and locate the MD5 file extracted earlier.
6) Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
7) You phone will reboot when its finished then you can unplug the usb and reboot your phone once again.
Got odin link and modified the steps from KonstantinKeller restore stock thread..so thanks to him and thanks to przekret for making the flashable zip

Your phone will never read "1GB". Due to how android handles memory, some will be reserved for it and not be visible to you. Kinda like what Windows does to your hard drive.

Odin with root and clockworkmod

Ok I am not new to the forum but I am having issues finding Odin with root and cwm. I twice tried to flash the clean blue ROM in el26 and even from recovery on calk's 3.0 and doing full wipes x2. The ROM has gotten my phone stuck on the galaxy screen twice with no way to get to recovery but thank goodness I was able to successfully use download mode. If there is one on this forum.... Can someone please link me to a one click that has root and cwm? It is hard searching this using my phone for some reason. It would greatly appreciated! I am back to rooted EL29 but in desperate need of clockworkmod. This stock rooted stuff is killing me. I need my Nandroid backups lol. Please help. I'm sorry because I can sure this is in the forum but it's very difficult to find on my phone for some reason.

If you meant that you flashed Clean Blue, you said clear blue before, I went to the OP and it says it's extremely debloated. Without flashing, I would guess that _dan removed the email app.
Not sure if it's a solution, but you could get gapps, edit and remove the apks you don't want/need and try adding it back that way. Or find the email apk and push. Might want to ask _dan as I'm not sure if it would work without reading that thread.

[Q] At&T Galaxy Note 2 stuck after root

Hi... I have an At&t Galaxy Note 2, I rooted it w Odin, It worked fine then I flashed a custom ROM and I guess it may not have been the right one and it would turn off every few minutes, I would turn it back on and it would just continue to turn off so I tried flashing a different ROM and that was it. It won't boot past the 'Samsung Galaxy Note ll" screen.. It just stays stuck there...
I looked on forums and tried different things suggested with no success...
I have tried flashing stock back with Odin but it stops at the 'Recovery' part in Odin and I've left it there for a good while but it doesn't go any further... I tried going through Kies and updating firmware and it goes through the process and it just sits there and doesn't re boot or anything...
Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate any help...I am so stuck...
Thanks in advance.

if you got into download mode and odin'ed back to stock and it gets stuck on the "samsung with the blue logo behind it" boot screen than you have to go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache there and reboot, i had the same problem earlier but mine could get into recovery and download mode but it wouldnt wipe the data it would just turn off whenever i tried to
