I have a problem, that I cannot find nor figure out the solution, I hope there is someone here that can help. I have used and have flashed with Odin many many times and have never had a problem.
Problem:
I am running a BeastMod 5.0, and before that I was running a ICS ROM...can't remember which one. I wanted to make sure I had everything ready for when the Official ICS dropped. Went to flash the stock which is posted here, got all the way (in Odin) to the Modem cache.img.ext4 part and that is where it hangs. I actually left it overnight just to make sure, and was still stuck on that part of the flash. It keeps rebooting to the Kies download page and only way to fix is to Odin Flash clockwork recovery. I have tried the super wipe, cache wipe, and every other tool I can find, but it still always get stuck at the part listed above.
Hopefully someone else has had the same problem and been able to fix. All help is greatly appreciated.

Yeah I checked the MD5, all are good. Re-downloaded and rechecked just to make sure. What is weird is....Everything flashes fine individually...or through recovery. I can get it back to stock, but with one big all inclusive package it gets stuck at the same place?
Try a different odin version.

Try reflashing the recovery. Once in recovery, reflash the ROM. That is what I had to do. Hope it helps. Also, make sure and upload the ROM to your SD Card...the superwipe doesn't touch the SD Card.

Put your phone in download mode, open Odin, flash non-touch recovery 5.0.2.7, then boot to recovery, go to mounts and storage, mount usb, transfer ROM, flash ROM, fix permisssions, reboot and enjoy!
Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am not a complete noob I had a Motorola Triumph I flashed dozens of roms and never bricked it or anything. I have an epic 4g touch, of course, and it was running the Blu Kuban rom , I think 1.5.1 or something, the one beofre the latest update. So i wanted to try the 'Jellyverse" fk23 since I loved the ICS Universe rom, great battery life, better than the kubans. I flashed the rom first with the recovery the blu kuban had, and then I dont know why i flashed an acs fk23 recovery, I didnt read the instructions right, dont know what i did there. Phone boots, and stays on welcome screen, nothing more.
Yes, I have tried Odin, phone isn't recognized. Have tried two pcs, reinstalling drivers, 3 different usb cables, and odin cant recognize it.
or the pc for that matter.Phone does get in android system recovery 3e, and does read sd card.tried flashing ff18 update and get signature not valid etc. Forgot to mention the usb port may be defective cause it did get wet with milk a bit the other day, i dired it but left it on most of that day anyway, but it still charges.
What can i do? I went to best buy but I am scared they will notice what happened, the welcome screen is obviously jellybean...
How can i save this phone? adb, fatboot? Sorry I am a noob when it comes to these things i Just mentioned. And sorry in advance if this was posted somewhere else. I am really grateful to all epic 4g touch devs, they make awesome roms. I know its my fault, etc, I just want to know if theres anyway i can revert to stock anything or get it working, or if i have to jtag it, or I will just have to travel 2 hours to visit my sister who works at best buy and ask her to play dumb that the phone is rooted and replace it with the best buy insurnace i have.
did you make a nandroid backup before you flashed?

NO, stupidly, i didnt. With that have worked even with the stock android recovery?
All I did was backup my apps with titanium pro.
WIth the E4GT I have never done nandroid as I never had any problems, with the Motorola Triumph I used to though...

Your best chance is to flash the recommended recovery kernel via Odin then reflash the ROM.

I usually plug the USB in after I have Odin up and ready to flash. Sometimes it just doesn't show the COM port when you have it plugged in before.

yea that's what I do. and I would just try going into recovery and see if there is a backup you can restore.
Is there anyway I can restore a nandroid with stock recovery (3e it says), and can it be from another e4gt? ANy of you have one I can use? Sorry if its noob question. or anyway i can save this phone without odin or a custom recovery? Can I flash a kernel on stock recovery?

Use Mobile Odin....Flash EL26 found here https://www.dropbox.com/s/f83s6y8wsnzqjau/EL26_StockCWM.tar.md5 (I will link to original in a little bit) ...Then reboot phone into custom recovery (power button and vol up until phone reboots)...Ohh wait, your stuck in a bootloop?? You're definitely going to need to utilize Odin on the PC to get out of it
Edit: Follow the instructions here.....Have you tried a One-Click odin? If your PC won't recognize the phone...restart everything. Try a different USB port, make sure your drivers are installed. I can't think of any other troubleshooting steps.....Maybe a different computer?
Hello all, My name is Zach. I've been around XDA for a while, but haven't really posted anything, I thanked devs for work and have been flashing my phone for a while now. Well, last night, I was exhausted, and shouldn't have done what I did. I flashed the full "CODE_SPH-D710.GA10_818252_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" to my phone via mobile odin from an ics rom (Phantoms ff18 I believe). Everything was going fine until the phone just shut off, and it booted straight into recovery mode.
Well now my phone will not boot, and I have no access to my external memory card via CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 that was installed from the tar. All of my roms are on my external.
Every time I plug it into the computer I get "USB device is not recognized" and it installs an "Unknown Device" driver from windows. So I can not mount it in CWM to send the files to internal.
I have tried removing all drivers and kies, restarting, reinstalling, then plugging my phone back in about 1000 times now.
Now some good news, I can get into Odin mode, but odin does not recognize it due to the problem above^
My question is, is there still hope? and can anyone help me?
I would try redownloading drivers on a diffrent computer if possible and make sure you have original cord. You can also try to wipe data via stock recovery and try to boot again just some quick thoughts also could try to find one of the one clicks and pull cord out and put back in once you open the one click (not during the one click) and see if it will show then start the one click also make sure you have the correct drivers install if you go to sextapes site they have everything you need. Hope it turns out ok:beer:

I have tried both my laptops, original cord, multiple other cords, have tried wiping in the CWM to nothing new, I do have the correct drivers and have tried multiple versions of them :/
Opening a one click and plugging the phone in just gives me "USB device not recognized"
Im a little confused you have cwm?
Reading your post cwm does not come with the leaked build you have to flash agats recovery after. So im going to assume that your talking stock recovery.

Maybe it stuck from phantom's ff18 rom? But yes CWM-based recovery 5.0.2.3
If I could get it to recognize my external SD card then I can flash a rom.

Get a Micro SD USB adapter. You can transfer the files with that.
Well. If your phone still turns on there's hope. After you plug it into your computer and it installs that unknown device or whatever go to control panel -> system -> device manager.
Right click on the unknown device, update driver, browse my computer for drivers, let me pick from list of drivers, then forcefully install the samsung driver through there and then try to odin a stock ICS tar http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/LeakSite/?dir=Leaks/Samsung Epic 4G Touch/FI27/Original TAR/.
After the you install the tar I would boot into recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot to make sure it's clean. Then after you're back to stock then you can root recovery whatever and try flashing JB again. I suggest using CWM and a zip file this time around though. Good luck.

I'm not sure what exactly happened but it sounds as if you are screwed if Odin doesn't recognize it at this point. It sounds like something went very wrong with the bootloader to me, maybe Mobiletech can help repair your device for $50 if all other advise fails.

Read the original post , the phone does NOT boot into android, it stays on the splash screen, forever.
Is it possible to boot an android OS from my external memory card? I know you could do it on the NOOK Color

So, to recap:
You were on FF18 with custom recovery, went to flash the GA10 tar via MO, phone died during process, isn't recognized when phone is in Odin mode and connected to a pc, you can still get to recovery and download mode on the phone but can't flash because it's not recognized, removed/re installed
Correct?
Have you tried another pc? Have you tried another cable? Have you pulled the sd card out and tried reading that on a pc?
There is some sort of lesson to be learned here. :sly:
People pay attention.
Many can profit from the outcome of this thread. :thumbup:

Id didn't die, it just turned off, and restarted straight into the recovery. I have tried 3, and 4 different cables, the SD cards reads in the computer but isn't showing up in the recovery, I get "No files found" and since I cant boot, I cant change the directory for the SD card.

Yes, But hopefully my phone is revivable!
Have you tried another pc?
And was it a full flash? You saw pass and it restarted?
:edit: Just saw your post about using both laptops.
What gets me, the flashing process and a restart and still you're left with the custom recovery. I'm interested in where the flash got to.. since the tar doesn't flash a custom recovery..
One thing to try - Put the phone in Odin mode, have it plugged into the laptop, then start odin. Try it backwards..
Which version of Odin are you using?

I've tried a few different versions, but I've been trying to use a one-click that way it will just install everything
I'm currently running task650's current ROM and ktoonz newest kernel . I'm unable to connect my phone to my PC via USB. I've tried 3 different USB cables including the original one that came with the phone. I'm trying to revert to stock to swap out phone, but I can't flash through Odin(cant restore stock recovery) and triangle away won't let me reset flash counter. I'm at a loss for ideas, I've been looking through the forums for days and I can't find anything . I've tried flashing different ROMs/kernels with no luck.

is USB debugging mode on? did you make a nandroid when you first rooted? that would contain the original firmware you were using before flashing anything. are you connecting to your PC after putting the phone in download mode or recovery mode? just covering all the bases, buddy.
Yes I've done all the above, however during a flash of cm10 i soft bricked somehow...and lost all data on my internal.. So I no longer have my original nandroid I'm not new to flashing at all and never imagined that would happen I've learned to expect the unexpected now.

Yes, Ive tried every USB plug under the sun. My phone sometimes gets detected by my computer, and I can browse files but if I try to copy something from it, it freezes half way through, then becomes undetechable. Ive tried to flash through odin but it never works....just get stuck then fails.
In serious need of your help here guys. I bricked my T-mo SGH-M919 today trying to root. Now I can't flash the stock recovery thru Odin. Tried a zillion times, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers restarted my comp, done everything I could think of still no dice.
I keep getting this Fail message in Odin saying " There is no PIT partition" tried to search for a PIT file for my specific model but couldn't find any. I even tried recovery thru kies emergency recovery and failed at the last step. Anybody can help me please.

Let me ask you one thing. .. is the com port in odin coming up recognize the phone ...if so you are not bricked. . The two vital things u need to see is com port turn on usually blue color and download mode..
The problem def lies somewhere else possibly bad tar file .
Try to find another source for the stock rom tar file another option is boot into recovery and flash a stock rom if you have recovery still

Change cable, change PC, download latest Odin version, and reflash stock TMO ROM
Yes cable and USB port can affect Odin's ability to flash

I bet he changed USB port or cable.

Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and Odin, rebooted my comp and used the Sammy USB cable.
Well glad you got it.... but i still find it hard to believe any usb was the issue Usb recognition is usb recognition. .if odin seen the phone usb was working. ..its literally that simple... the problem initially explained was that the pit error was coming up... that all relates usually to a file error .
But glad it worked out and u didnt loose a 600$ phone.

I own three Samsung devices, and my sgs2 will not transfer files or work with adb when I use a generic best buy rocketfish usb cable. The original Samsung cable works every time.

I have seen that a lot.
I actually bought a few spare Samsung ones from eBay to make sure I would always have a good cable.

Well... one case to the next is different. .. ive never had issue using a lg cord moto cord or htc on a samsung device. .
I just think that the op post if you read his initial problem and how it was stated i think it had to do with trying to odin in the pit section instead of pda.
Ive seen this issue before.
Once again glad its fixed

Nope, it was in the PDA section. I'm familiar with Odin and used it several time in the past (on my Note 8.0) . I believe the error message was either due to corrupt download and/or the USB cable. Anyway so glad it was solved quickly and thanks again for your help.

Pit file. That solved my problems. Flash it alone, then flash a good stock rom.
