Can someone please help? I bricked my phone trying too flash the modem and I keep trying too recover using Odin. I put the tar file in the pda part and the pit file in the pit section. I got both these files from the how to recover brick thread. But when I click start, it gets stuck on the param.lfs part. And the words PARAM go into the white box above the progess bar. Can someone please help? Im scared its bricked for good.
EDIT: I was able too get passed param.lfs but it keeps freezing in different spots, it never completly finishes. Odin is soo unreliable :/ At one point it got too 50% but my phones screen turned pink and it froze. Is there any other program I can use? Or a more stable/reliable version of odin? I have version 1.0 and i've tried 1.3 and no luck too

Can you get into the download mode? If so, you're not bricked.

I had a similar problem awhile ago with a 2.1 flash. It worked out fine. As long as you can get into download mode you should be ok. You don't have a brick.
Just follow the instructions on the flashing back to stock link that is in whodamans post.
I used the .pit in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032 with the DI18 update in this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138
I did have an issue once where I fixed it by just using the DI18 update and not the pit file(it seemed to find the pit in the update i guess...anyone feel free to correct me on this if i'm worng)
If that doesn't work
3a: Reboot your PC and pull the battery on your phone
3b: Wait for PC to reboot
3c: Open Odin
4c: Put batter back in phone, boot to download mode
5c: Once in download mode connect via USB to the PC
6c: Run it again

I've yet to see a truly bricked Epic. People that use that word should take that as a sign that they shouldn't be flashing.
I had the exact same problem with Odin freezing at "param.lfs". First of all, Odin is hit and miss. A lot depends on the USB cable as well. I ended up having success with Odin once I switched back to the original cable that came with the phone. Also try different USB ports on your PC. Some people have reported problems when using front panel ports. Try ones in the back that are directly on the mobo.

good point about the cable, although most of the time I see recommendations against using the stock one for anything but charging.
I use a BB cable that seems to be thicker than the stock epic one and haven't had any issues.
Ok, ive gotten passed param but It keeps freezing at different spots! is there anything I can do?

try again...
unplug the phone, pull the battery, restart the computer, walk away for 5 minutes and take a breather, then come back and try it again. As the above poster said, Odin can be screwy and it can take multiple times to go through sometimes.
Make sure to use a better usb cable if you have it available, or borrow one from a friend.
also, make sure to restart Odin in between attempts

Yea, ok so i kept trying and it none of the tries worked so I just wanted too see if maybe it worked but it wasnt showing that it did. So i click power and it starts too BOOT! it said samsung then went into a black screen, then it went into stock recovery. Can anyone tell me what to do from here? I think there is no rom in my phone and I need a stock samsung one too flash through samsungs recovery. Can anyone help? I apreaticate everyone whos tried too help.
I am using Odin 3 v1.3
I don't use the .PIT file at all.
I put the SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 in PDA and make sure it's checked
I uncheck F.Reset time
Put the phone in download mode and hit start.
I you still are having problems try a different micro usb cable. Samsungs cable sucks.
Good Luck

I clicked on this thread because I knew this attitude would be present here. You're saying 1) the reason for the problem is 100% this ROM and 2) no one can be trusted with this ROM because some have had problems... great.

And I also came in to say this, almost. I don't have too much Epic experience, but yes, people always say ZOMG ITS BRICKED and what they MEAN is it isn't behaving how they expected after a flash and it may require a reflash/recovery. If something is bricked, it is a useless mass of plastic and metal that might have some value sold on Ebay as parts.
...though I'm not discouraging people flashing. Just wish people would stop using 'bricked' as a catch phrase, and instead just tell the story and ask for help.
Sasha if you cant use Odin to restore it, then it's bricked. My advice? Take it back to Sprint and get a new one.

What should I say too the sprint employees? I thought bricking the phone ruins the warranty. Also I am able too get too stock recovery and download mode, but odin doesnt flash any rom fully, it always stops. I tried too just flash pit and that worked. Is there any other program you can use or can you flash the tar from the stock recovery which I can get too?

About 20 minutes ago I started Flashing Android Revolution HD on my device then the screen went black. Nothing's happened since then and now it won't start up or anything. What's going on?
I do believe that rom is for the international gs3.

Yes, sir, please get into that mode for me but first make sure your phone is off and then i'll guide you through the rest.
BTW: Are you at a computer? This requires you to download a stock image for your device which is around ~600MB.

I have the tar file in PDA on ODIN, but I can't get my device into download mode because it won't respond. I tried hitting start on Odin anyway but nothing happened.
I was thinking I could tell my computer somehow the device is my phone but I'm not sure if that would help without it being in download mode.
Edit: I'm reading through the post and discovered people in a similar position to me, my charging light does turn on red with no battery in. I'll see if there's some magic fix on that thread somewhere.

Okay so we need to focus on getting your phone into DL mode. Pull the battery for one minute and hold the power button down for ten seconds; re-insert the battery and try to get into DL mode again.

The only thing I can get it to do is turn the red light on when I plug it in with no battery
If you're sure you can't get into download mode then your best bet is to get a USB jig. They're fairly inexpensive, i'll link you one. This jig has good reviews and works for pretty much any Samsung device with DL mode:

Edit: I'll be buying one eventually to test it out. Just ordered one, it will be here Tuesday.

Dude sorry to say but you are done, this has happened to plenty of people on this forum. Your phone is dead (the jig WILL NOT help you, you will need a jtag/warrantee to fix it at this point. Your phone will probably say qusb_dload or something if you try to plug it into your pc, further confirming that fact.

Rom Manager most likely partitioned your INTERNAL SD Card instead. You'd have to Flash Root66 for Android 4.2 via Odin.

You may need a debrick.img created from a device with the NC1 firmware. Do you know what build you were on before it bricked?

I was on the pac 4.4 nightly, had flashed new nightly updates regularly for nearly a month with no problems, but then decided to switch to cm11, when I tried to flash that it gave me the bootloader error, so I went to the method that was a supposed fix for that and flashed it and thats when it went dead.
Same Problem
Hey guys I have the same exact problem heres how it started, which I think accurately describes everyone else with the same problem:
1) I downloaded the correct TWRP for my phone and unlocked it previously with ODIN.
2) So far everything is fine, now I find a nice new ROM which is stable and try to flash it. The rom was: FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2
3)First I deleted cache and dalvic cache as well, basically the default wipe.
4) I flashed the ROM and it said it was succesful, I click reboot, and nothing
Symptoms
1)No vibration
2)No screen image whatsoever
3)No signs of booting up with computer
4) Does not boot up using JIG method
5)Computer does not see phone
Notes
1) I tried checking the pulse of the phone W/out battery and gave me very little wattage, and eventually it drained out
2) Then I tried plugging it into my computer and the front red light went on but no power in phone and PC cannot see it
3) Sometimes when I put the battery in, it gives me a quick flash, from the flashlight on the back, OR it gives a millisecond of a vibration
4)Before I flashed I had android 4.3 Jellybean stock with root-again I tried to flash FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2 w/TWRP
Trials to resolve in which did NOT work
1) I tried putting it into download mode, with JIG but no battery and had someone put the battery in WHILE i was pressing HOME+POWER+VOLUME DOWN with the JIG
Results: It sometimes gave me a small vibration, but no results
2) Tried to install correct ODIN and KIES software
Result: Gave me negative sound on laptop meaning it does not recognize device-it does not show up in My Computer either
Having the same issue.
I used the FlashingDroid_S5_v2.2 rom. Wiped the phone before flashing, the prompt said successful and rebooted.
Then nothing.
No response from charging, power, download mode... nothing.
i am trying to root my phone tonight while i still have use of this computer. I have downloaded chainfire with the odin and the tar file. I have also gotten into developer mode and checked usb dsebugging. the next step in the instructions I am reading (which is 2 by the way) but when I go into security I have no option to turn off reactivation lock. is there something I am missing.

If you have an SM-N900T, you don't have reactivation lock as far as I know. I couldnt find the option in mine, so I went ahead without it. I think its in the International version.
i have downloaded odin 3.7 and CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.tar.md5 file fofor rooting. the first time tt said pass but on my phonne on the top I had 3 messages in different colors saying something about warranty, and a couple other things. It had the not 3 logo on the phone but it never rebooted like its supposed to. I tried restarting it but it went back to the same thing. if some one who knows how to so this could you please lead me to the correct files i need to root this thing. I have never had so much problems rooting a phone in my life. I am still on version 4.3 and I would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Try Odin flashing the CF-AutoRoot TAR file again, it should work fine,
and welcome to the very exclusive KNOX club. LOL
After flashing with odin you need to flash custom recovery like twrp or cwm.
Good luck!

Dear all. I have a note II that has gone wild. The phone was working fine but then I received a note 4 and put the note 2 aside. Then I was trying to install root and was able to do so by installing TWRP V2.8.3 and everything went smooth and the phone was rooted. I then used the phone for a while but switched to the note 4 after. Now, 5 months after, I wanted to check something on my olde note II. I charged the phone and switched it on but it was stuck on the Galaxy note II screen I rebooted then rebooted but still the same. I went in the TWRP recovery to try to do something but I was not able to because it says that it cant mount storage, cant mount efs, cant mount data, cant mount cache and cant mount system.
Then I have decided to install the firmware image from zipped file but that did not work as it sees that the internal and external storags are 0 and cant mount them.
Then I opted to try and install the firmware PDA through Odin but that also did not work as Odin was not able to detect the phone. Now I'm clueless and not sure what to do the only thing I'm able to do is boot in TWRP recovery and that is all. Can any one help.
My phone had the latest official rom from samsung the 4.4.2
Please help
classic, just search. there is a thread with tutorial how to get your n2 back to life. you could also have sds, but try different odin and flash with pit
Ok now I'm in a worse situation. I have managed to get to the download mode and connected it to ODIN and tried to flash with the stock rom but at the end of the writing process it failed and started to get a message on the phone to connect my device to kies and try again. I tried that but did not do anything. Then I tried Odin again but this time I unticked the auto reboot. then clicked start. The same thing happened as before and writing failed now though my phone is blank it does not show anything and it does not want to turn on and no LED that is turning on nor the charging icon. I searched the net and someone suggested that the battery is damaged. I replaced the battery but still no go. Please I really need to get that phone back alive. I think I bricked it. any ideas or directions to help me with this annoying case. I cant even boot to recovery nor download please help

Odin dont detect Phone in Download mode, right?
So test another USB hub or an other or Official Samsung USB connector.. When nothing work try another PC and Flash the Firmware in PDA.

As I said when I remove the battery and insert it back the phone remains blank no response to any button pressed.
What I did is that my phone was stuck on opening screen samsung screen. Then someone suggested to flash it with the stock rom. So I went to Sammobile site and downloaded the latest firmware. I tried to install it to my phone using ODIN and just before the end. ODIN failed. I tried it the second time and the same happened. then the third time I read that I have to untick auto reboot. I did and tried ODIN for the 3rd time and on the third trial I got the same fail message and then I wanted to boot into download mode for the forth time but this time the phone went dead and not responding to any button press. I hope that this explains the situation

No worries bro. At least you are trying. I have never seen this before either and I'm stumped and where I'm I dont think I can find any samsung pro shop. All what they are going to say is the motherboard is dead and you need to change it. I do have another phone but I hate it when a devise does this to me
