Phone will not boot... can get into download mode

Hey, I'm a Vibrant guy and was helping a friend with his Epic try and flash CWM thru Odin 1.6.1.
Started Odin and it just hung... now the phone does nothing on boot but I still can get to download mode.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Belongs in q & a. And theres a thread stickeyd explaining how to revive it. It'l be a long download though, about 200mb iirc

Try odin'ing without the battery or sd card. If that fails use heimdall. Are you checking re-partition and using a pit file? An EPIC pit file?

Before admin closes the thread... which slot in Odin are you putting the .tar? PDA or "Phone"?

Thanks, forgot about Heimdall
victory_8G_100528.pit, SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar and checks on re-partition, reboot and rest time
Using Pit and PDA

Only check should be in reboot. That's your problem.

Hes soft-bricked. If he has a pit, he should re-partition.

ahh so many questions, lol. I really have no idea. Since i saw that it was the modem.bin i just decided to add it to the image files, ran it and it said ec09 baseband, So i am guessing it is the right one, i hope.

oh and are you available to get on the irc right now

Haha, oh okay
And yeah, sure!

i used this hemdall works good miss some of the themes from muina but this is really stable and fast for a stock rom like the continuum should've always been

So, can this rom be flashed to phone if it's running ec07 or does it need to be downgraded first?

Well, what i been doing is flashing this on top of DL17, but i am pretty sure you can flash on top of EC07, but i cant actually confirm this because i have not tried flashing over it.

I'm not sure if Abby did the ota but assuming not, it would probably be safer to flash over 07, than any other Rom . That being said, if you have the ability to downgrade then get the ota , I would go that route.

I did the what? Well these files were extracted as soon as 2.2.2 finished loading from the OTA update. Only thing changed was being rerooted. For the peeps that dont want to wait for the long download time. With this said, do not select repartition because it does not include a bootloader and other necesary files, but I will include them in the next file
Deodexed with minor debloat will be up by the morning,sorry for the wait.

Hmm...weird, try flashing Ec07 odex (relproduction) first with repartition on, they try this image with repartition off, btw it uses i500 pit
Sent from my SCH-I400 using Tapatalk

Could either be that your phone is using an i400 pit or just a heimdall error, just checked it out and uploaded fine. But i'll look further into it, I apoligize for any inconvenience

Flashing after Emmc Brick

I fixed my emmc brick with one of the PIT files circulating around. But I was wondering, when I want to flash with odin in the future, do I always now have to include that PIT file? And are there any Roms that won't be compatible with it? Also what should I do when flashing in CWM in the future? I don't believe there is a way to add a PIT file there...?

I'm pretty sure its just a one time thing to fix your emmc. You shouldn't have to use as long as you don't brick your phone again.

There was a PIT file generator for the S3, however, i never could get it to work. I also do not know if there is one for the S4 yet. But it would be awesome to help regain the 1.4 GB of free space i have in my System partition

[Q] SGH-m919 Pit file

Hey guys,i am desperate cuz my phone is blocked at the samsung logo,can't boot into recovery,only in Odin and i need the pit file to restore the phone back to stock.
Can anyone help me?i can't find a pit file over the web

Pit file or firmware? Firmware you can find at sammobile.com and the general thread if you were on the 4.4.2 bootloader

If you can't boot into recovery. Odin a new recovery and boot into it.

Have you tried flashing the full official firmware? I understand you were told that you need a pit file, but it's likely flashing the firmware from sammobile would fix you right up.
