I recently acquired an Epic 4G Touch that wouldn't boot into the stock ROM. I thought "Awesome! The ROM must be corrupted. I'll just Odin it back to stock and have a new SG2." Well, I tried Odining it back to stock. I tried the Gingerbread EL29 stock tar image and it hung on the Sbl.bin. I thought maybe my download was just corrupt but after trying 2 other GB odin images it still wouldn't flash. Then I tried flashing CWM recovery through odin and that hung at NAND Write Start. I've switched cables, USB slots and computers. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. I would really like to get this phone running so I can upgrade my SGS1.
Edit- Just to clarify, I never tried to flash anything through CWM. I tried flashing a kernel that had CWM through Odin.
I put the ROM into the PDA slot. Here's what happened in Odin:

Thank you for the response. I cannot get into my recovery and my phone will not flash anything in Odin without some sort of error. I think it hosed. He mentioned sending it off for a jtag repair? What exactly is that?

This is very confusing... How are you trying to flash with CWM if you can't get into recovery mode?
What exactly is happening with the device when you try to power it on?
What happens when you try to go into download mode using Vol down+power?
What happens when you try to get to recovery using vol up+power?

Agreed.
Op - You're trying to write to the phone and, my guess is, you're making a bad situation worse since your getting partial writes. Especially that first screen where pit was mapped and partial flash took, such as boot.
Dont know where crawrj is, but try reaching out to Garwynn. He knows A LOT.

What? When did I say I was flashing through CWM? I've never even been able to boot to CWM. I said I was trying to flash CWM through download mode which failed. When I try to boot, it sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 kernel load screen. When I try to boot into recovery it sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 kernel load screen.

Sorry. I misread the OP.
Ok. Try this to get into Recovery
Press and hold the vol up+power button until the splash screen shows up
After the splash shows release the power button and then continue to hold the vol up button. It should take you right to recovery.

I've done this atleast 20 times (21 now after this post) and it just sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen. I'm sure I screwed it even further by trying to flash CWM recovery. When I first got it, it booted into the recovery screen but wouldn't actually fully load into recovery. I would just get the Android character but no text. These are the weirdest issues I've ever had with an Android device.

Do you have an external SD card installed? If so, remove it and try to boot into recovery again.

That is possible. You can try to call Sprint and tell them you/a friend was trying to update to ICS and rebooted and it wont boot fully. Act dumb and see if they will replace it. Since it won't boot to anything at all, there is really no way for them to tell. Just say that you bought it from said friend. It is worth a shot. I have done it before with AT&T when I screwed up a Captivate doing a hardware mod.
I just told them that I bought it online and tried to update it but after the update, it wouldn't power on. They let me replace it.

Either that or try J-Tag. But I don't know if that will fix it.

Wait oh wait I have a few questions myself lol what odin are you using? Did you try any one clicks? Did you try removing the sd card and then odin? Did you try to leave battery out all night then try odin again with no sdcard?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I tried 2 different versions of Odin;1.x and 3.x. I used multiple one clicks. I pulled the sd card before flashing. I had to buy a battery for it when I got it and the previous owner had kept the battery out of it for at least a month. I really appreciate all answers but I really feel like I've tried everything :|

It is possible using a pit file would help. The pit file from when this phone came out would be best. Then run a gb rom in odin along with the pit. If you find the pit link it here before you use it. Wouldn't want more problems.

One Click restores are built with the proper pit of 9-16-11. But it sounds like he's already tried multiple builds.
Flashing each component isn't a bad suggestion but with using the pit, I wouldn't necessarily use just a rom, I'd use a tar since it would contain everything needed to restore the bootloader (boot, Sbl, param, recovery..)
Or try flashing an built bootloader to see if he could get back into recovery alone. There are a few already made in RWilco's Repo..

I think you can also use sfhub's one-click back to EL29 and use the autoroot tool to unroot.

Use the one-click method to get you back to EL29, since you're coming from an ICS ROM back to GB you should use the full rather than the no-data. One you've done that, then download and extract the autoroot tool and follow the prompts to get you to the unrooting. Make sure you have USB debugging turned on before using autoroot.

When you plug the phone in while in Odin mode, are you getting the yellow highlighted box with COMxx in it to indicate the computer is recognizing your phone?
Another possible path is to pop out your sdcard, put it into the computer and load up some files that can be flashed via recovery (if you have recovery installed) then reinsert the card, hold power and volume up button to boot into recovery and flash a new build that way.
I've been trying to use the one click option, my phone is recognized but it won't proceed to completetion, i guess it's bricked. Is there anything i can do?
So let me get this straight. You put your phone into Odin/download mode, start the one click, and it fails? Does Odin notice your phone while in Odin/download mode?

I know this is getting frustrating for you, but have you tried other one-click downloads? EL26 or even any of the ICS ones just to get the phone back on?
I'll see if I can re-route sfhub over here, maybe he knows of something we aren't thinking to try.

Okay if it is recognizing your phone then try downloading another one-click and using it, or even re-downloading the same one you already have.
So even if my device is bricked it will load this, as long as odin recognizes it?
I recently rooted my phone and got the Blazer Rom. After messing around with it for a weekend, I decided to try another rom, but I thought i back up my phone but I was wrong. Now my phone turns on and sits there with the Samsung Galaxy SII on the screen and thats it. If I hold the volume botton up and power botton I get Rogue ET Recover 1.1.1. I tried everything to wiping my phone nothings is in Backup or Restore. Reboot system doesn't seem to work. I don't know what to do.
I guess the only reason I'm freaking out is my gf is gonna think i'm ignoring her. I'd email but she doesn't check her email anywho.
FYI i did search before i posted this i found quite of bit of people that have problems with their phones turning on but none of them seemed to around what I'm dealing with. With that said any suggestions?
Sorry if this is a repost!!!
Have you tried an odin 1 click? I would start with the el29 for gb or the FF11 for ics. You can find them in the dev section.
You need Odin....or Odin mobile from market. Put phone in download mode. Do el29 with cwm tar. Wipe and installed new from. Google how to do this or search xda and you will solve problem.

Ics or gingerbread doesn't matter your phone is in limbo. Go to laptop put phone in download mode. Make sure you have the el29 cwm tar file to put in Odin and then connect phone. Then you can do a restore or flash a new rom.

Just checking on your progress.
Let me ask, the odin screen on the computer, did the Com Port button light up when you plugged the phone in?
Also, what do you have installed for drivers, Kies or the Samsung Driver Suite?

Did you also download the el29 file. Place it in pit slot.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Use the pit file and place the tar in pda. If not try a different cable/usb port. That should work. Remove sd card also if u have one
well i went to take a shower and when i came back the odin program said fail, i unplugged it, took out battery, than tried to rest start the process. now my phone doesn't turn on at all. just shows a blue light.....i think its done.
By any chance did you copy the ODIN log or leave it open? If so can you paste here? Might be able to help.
Other ideas:
1) Jig might be able to help in this case
2) Try EL26/29 if you can get to DL mode
(Just wondering if it can save you a trip to Sprint or not)
i ended up taking my phone to place where they specialize in rooted and jail breaking. he took it for two days and couldn't do anything. so i threw my phone in the pool and took it to a sprint store they just gave me a new phone, should be in on monday.
Does anybody have the .pit file for this phone? Please provide if you do.

You really shouldn't need the pit file, just flash with odin. Im not with sprint anymore, so cant be of much help.
LJ2 was not a sprint build, so Im not sure where your getting that, and 4.3 was released for the sprint note 2 last year, so should note be running 4.1 still.....

here is what has happened:
Hi! Essentially i am a total noob to android but trying to help out a friend. He was doing something with his samsung galaxy note 2 (UK, O2, 32Gb) through odin, when something went wrong and the next thing he knew the screen went fuzzy. Since then, when you power up the device, you get no startup sound and gthe screen goes straight to this fuzzy image. if you try to reset the phone (holding volume up, home and power) the phone still only starts up with a fuzzy screen. the only screen i can gain access to is the download mode screen (holding volume down, home and power). so i am hopeful that it is still fixable, as i can get access to this page.
Now the phone wasn't rooted and believed to have been updated to android 4.2. but when you get to the download mode screen it says:
ODIN MODE

Hi all,
I have been using cyanogenmod 10 beta 2 for a long while, this morning after making a call, set the phone down for a bit. later when i picked it up, the screen wasn't coming on, so thinking it was some frozen application, reset the phone by pulling the battery out.
when it started booting up, it wouldn't go past the samsung splash screen. I was able to access cwm recovery (volume up + power button) at this moment though. someone on here advised that i should try a nightly but seeing as how i couldn't get access to put anything on the SD card, i flashed what i had at that moment, cm 10 beta 2 (didn't erase cache or dalvik). flashing this still resulted the phone not being able to get past the samsung splash screen but now i can't get into cwm recovery either. I am able to access odin mode though.
How would I go about solving this dilemma without losing user data if possible?
Flash el26 kernel in odin. Backup the rom in cwm. Either flash a new rom. Or odin a one click. Then use titanium backup pro to extract the apps from the backup. Only way I know how to do it. Others may chime in. As I'm sure that's not the only way

Just to ask - Did you place your phone in Odin(download) mode prior to starting? (from powered off, hold power+vol down)

yeah i did, then volume up to go into download mode. there's was no progress bar on the phone after clicking start on the pc so i shut it off. I can still get into odin mode.
was planning on trying this "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore_v2" next to see if that would work. really not sure what to do.
Are you sure that the proper drivers were installed? You should reinstall them either ways just to be sure. Then retry Odining your file

As long as you're aware that a restore will wipe user data, but that'd be my suggestion.

Blue light that blinks on and off or blue light that stays on?
On/Off might be saveable, just probably need to charge the battery on another device or external charger.

nope, it's a constant blue light. will most likely sell for parts now as the display is in pristine condition (had screen protector from the beginning). whats the going rate for sell for parts?
So I got my Note 2 a week or so before Christmas and rooted it within a couple of days. All has been fine until recently, where it's been crashing a lot, and yesterday it died. Now it just boot loops permanently and can't be stopped without removing the battery.
I have tried flashing to stock via Odin as per this tutorial but every time I try to do it, it fails. Output:

From what I've read I'm a victim of Sudden Death Syndrome, which is a problem with Samsung firmwares at Android 4.1.1 and is fixed by updating. Obviously, since I had rooted, I couldn't update the phone and as I wasn't aware of SDS I didn't update away from it myself. Now my phone is bricked and I'm at a loss for what to do.
I live in the UK and my carrier is 3, if it helps. As I said it is rooted and the Custom Binary Download is at Yes (1 counts) so I can't just send it back to 3 and have it replaced. I'm fine with flashing another ROM (I've been planning on trying Paranoid Android) but I don't have a bootloader installed.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Have you tried to flash another stock rom?
Can you get into download mode ?

After spending 90 minutes getting this to work (involving failed installations of VCRedis, uninstalling all the ones I had, installing the one specifically linked in the guide that still didn't work, going for an older version of Heimdall which, eventually, flashed and said it completed) the phone is still in a bootloop every time I turn it on and I can't boot into recovery with Power button + Volume up + home.
This is really beginning to frustrate me.

Do you have any idea why this would have happened? As I said, all I did was root it months ago and it just died of its own accord. I was under the impression that SDS was recoverable.

I've already tried flashing CWM and it just won't work. I tried to go look up TWRP but their site is having an SQL database error so I can't get it to try. Is there any chance at all of it working if Clockwork Mod won't work?
I don't see a Samsung logo, I see the Note 2 splash then it reboots and shows me again...ad nauseum.

@Gamoc
Don't waste your time with CWM or TWRP or any other custom roms
Just flash a stock firmware. After restart, hold Volume UP + Home + Power buttons until you get into recovery mode, then release them.
If you cannot get into recovery mode, most likely you have internal storage error.
Probably partitions (or mbr) are corrupted. There is nothing you can do.
If you get into recovery, do a factory reset.
