Bought an Epic today from an individual and esn was good, but went to activate and they did a hard reset and this put it back to stock. I received an ota and when battery had enough charge I hit update. About halfway through after it rebooted to update, it stopped and went to a white triangle with orange exclamation. I searched but on the mmobile app on xda it is less than accurate. So sorry if his has been answered.
Btw, guy said it hadn't been rooted before...so I don't know.

maybe he lied?!... anyways.. try to boot into download mode by holding the UP botton on the side and the power button at the same time.. keep holding....keep holding.... ut should take you into dowbload mode.... once its there.. let go... puth the UP button one more time... ( just a click this time without the power button ) and it should say "downloading ".... if you can get this far..( wich you should)... then your in the clear.... next download a stock .TAR file and ODIN..( to your pc ) .....

I'm taking it into Sprint tomorrow because I already have a ticket written up on it. If not then your advice is my best bet. Thank you! What is the most recent stock file, btw?

EL29 is the latest (OTA) build, read about installing here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
I also recommend flashing the modem with it (not required) but you may see an improvement in signal strength, speed, battery life, etc... after flashed

If you want to see why the OTA was failing (ie what files were modified or removed), you can use Option E in the Auto Root sticky and choose the appropriate OTA compliance check, EG30 or EK02.

You don't need ODIN to run the OTA compliance check. You don't even need a computer. You just need to download the scripts to your phone and run them.
They used Odin at the store to push the EL29 update...buuut...now I want to root lol. Have to wait until I get my computer back.

Ah, ok, understand now.
Is the general consensus that Calkulin's is the most stable to try run at the moment

It is one of them but the top 3 IMO are Strongsteves Odexed blue, Phantom Hackers Blazer rom and Calkulins. They are all great but those 3 i mentioned I found to be just flawless and run the best on my device.
Firstly thank you in advance to anyone who takes time out to help me fix this problem.
I have searched high and low for an answer both here and abroad but I have not been able to find anything that addresses non-stock recovery and yellow triangles.
I have an Epic 4G Touch running CM9 with CWM. A couple of days ago I noticed that my charge port was giving me issues and I had to place the connector in just the right way to get it to charge. Now it has become a large issue where it will barely charge.
TL;DR: I have insurance and need to figure out how to get back to stock everything, remove the yellow triangle (without USB jig) and make it look like the phone has had nothing but stock.
Thank you again!
That's cheating.

Search "Triangle Away" and all stick ROMs are in the Repository... Click on stickies in the Dev section
Why not try a PC Odin One-clic stock restore (FL24) - carefully holding in the connector during the whole flash?

Use your current recovery to flash the FL24 modem and then use Mobile Odin to flash FL24.
Or he could just flash a full stock one click using the SD card and avoid all that stuff...

Depending on which modem they are running...
I'd suggest;
Use triangle away, flash an older official stock tar with mobile odin, (wont matter with current modem since they can be mixed since they're running cm9) then let the ota take it to official latest.
But I'm betting op has done something by now.

It does really work. But there are chances for it to brick if you lose power to the phone. Battery dies, if falls and battery falls out, power button issues. Other than that, it won't brick you. They also put that warning on there so someone can't blame the dev if they did something to f**k their phone up. Its a universal disclaimer thar tells people to be careful.

Stock roms/kernels should remove that triangle as well unless i am mistaken.

You're mistaken, to a point.
Flashing a stock will remove the triangle but not reset the binary counter.
Triangle away will do both.
Hey guys, I am having issues with my phone and the charging port.
So I was planning on getting a replacement model with the warranty I pay monthly for.
I want to know if I should flash my phone back to stock before sending it back to Sprint.
I will get the replacement before sending the old on back but don't want to be charged $400 (whatever the price may be for new model).
Will Sprint charge me or do anything if they find out I "voided" my warranty and have a custom rom/kernal etc... on it?
If need be, I will flash it back to ICS Stock just in case but just wanted to get others opinions on this.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Yes, restore it to stock and be sure to format the internal sd memory before you do so you will not leave any personal info on it.

Ok Thanks. I will do that.
So has anyone sent phone back without stocking it? What will Sprint do?
I never sent mine to Sprint because I had "water damage" so the technical claimed... I sent mine to Samsung when it was a complete brick and because there was a delay on parts they sent me a BNIB phone.

According to Sprint, if you send them a rooted phone (and they will notice it's rooted) they will send it back to you unfixed and they "might" terminate your insurance/warranty. I asked the sprint sales rep when I got my E4GT almost a year ago, and that was his response. You're definitely going to need to flash a stock non-rooted ROM back to the phone. Now this is just personal opinion, but I'd suggest sticking the GB27 ROM on it because it's the latest thing.
Before you flash it, go into settings and go to storage and format the internal storage. This will wipe any personal information from the device.
Now use this ROM: SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Stock_Restore.exe and you can find it from here:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166. It is MIRROR 1. This ROM will almost completely wipe the phone (small things like screen timeout settings and the likes will persist even after a full format for some reason).
Once you've flashed the new ROM to it, you should be all set to send it into Sprint. They won't even know you've had it rooted at any point in time.
Hope this helps, cheers! :beer:

If I'm not mistaken, binary count will still be there even after you flash back. You'll have to run a program like triangle away to take your count to zero before you flash back to unrooted stock or they will still know!

So I got my inc2 back up and going and did a factory reset. It's on stock 2.3.4. Well for some odd reason it tried to ota during the reset. Now, when I check for an ota it does nothing. If I try to boot into recovery (stock recovery) I get the phone&triangle. Anyone have an idea what's going on? Also, I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to root this thing computer free? I doubt it but I'm hoping since I no longer have a computer

As far as I know 2.3.4 is the latest stock ota this phone ever got. HTC (or Big Red) forgot they made our phones and that is where the support and GPL compliance went out the window. Our phones are shiny new or cost $400 and such.
As far as without a computer...... not possible sorry.. Any friends with one?
Yeah, just not sure when ill have the time to swing by a friends house. I thought I missed GB but ugh, there has actually been a lot of features added in since GB.

After I updated my phone to 4.4.2 I lose service and have to restart my phone multiple times a day to get service back. I called T-Mobile and after resetting the phone they said they would replace it. Then I called Samsung and they said to bring it to best buy to have it reflashed. I can go there but I could also flash it via Odin at home. Now my question is, if I flash the stock rom via Odin will it trip the Knox counter? I read that it won't and I read that it can. I just want to make sure it won't before I flash it incase I have to have it repaired or replaced.

So long as it's a 100 percent stock ROM it shouldn't. It only trips if system partition or a custom recovery are detected.

Well I flashed the stock rom from sammobile yesterday morning and so far so good. I haven't had a problem since. Tmobile said there is no way I could flash the firmware again even though I knew I could through odin, just wasn't sure if I used odin if it would trip the Knox counter. I didn't want to replace my phone that is in mint condition through tmobile and get who knows what in return so I called Samsung and they said to go to best buy to have it reflashed. I saved myself a trip by doing it myself. thank you elesbb for your help.

Yeah, i hate getting replacements from them. I no longer have insurance as any repairs (aside from shattered screen, this denotes an upgrade ) i will just do myself. I have gotten replacements for my S3 through them and they ALL were horrible. I ended up having to take apart both phones when they sent me the new one and made a good working one out of it and reassembled the bad pieces into a bad phone and sent that one back. Ha. It was pathetic. lol.

Well I spoke too soon. I had to restart my phone again to get service back. The problem is still there. I had data but no cell service. Even if I turn airplane mode on then back off to reset it it still doesn't work. I have to restart my phone. Do you think it could possibly be a simple card issue? It started the day after I updated my phone when 4.4.2 came out.

I've had SIM related issues before. Sometimes an older SIM card won't work correctly with a system update. With a new card problems disappear. Let's hope this is the case for you.

in the same boat
Ever since I got the OTA Kit Kat my phone is in nightmare mode. Wifi wont stay on or ever even come on. Wake screen freezes and numerous other issues. I got same responses from TMO and Sammy and have spent 100 hours on here searching for HOW to fix. Ive used Odin 307 and 309 with various files CWM OUDHS, etc and never get anywhere. Just fails with "no PIT" errors every time.
Ive rooted phones before with NO problems , G2, and other HTCs, but Sammy driving me nuts.Im assuming its because I have 4.4.2
So your saying using Odin with a stock ROM will work? or errors again? samobile the site you need to pay to join right?
Ive seen THOUSANDS of people with SAME issues, various carriers as well as S4s and Nexus
Im so stinking frazzled from this
