Bricked when updating to FL24....help - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I used to zip file from the sticky thread.
Re-named to Update
Put on SD card
Booted into recovery
Ran and now all I get is the Galaxy SII screen.
I have done this a couple times before without any problems.
Anything I can do? If so give me some reading or instructions!
Thanks for the help.

You're not actually bricked. You've just soft bricked. Flash something via Odin and you'll be back up and running.

Yes find a one click odin and download to pc.

Clear cache and data in recovery also helps.

As Mattix724 said PC Odin a one-click. Try this http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=116 Directions are simple and explicit

just calrification.. technically a soft brick is still a form of a brick.. the op just didnt state which it was but correct.. if you can still get to the splash screen then its a soft brick.. not a hard brick..

Thanks all, I ended up using the FI27 One Click from Sextape, then I instantly received the OTA from Sprint (which was kind of lol).
Worked like a charm.
Still had to wipe all my user data because I was getting force closes, but on the positive side my battery life has been amazing.

Tmobile T989 Wont stay in recovery

I flashed the darkside rom and then went back to stock. Now flashed Infamoust989.02 and when I boot into recovery the phone reboots 2 seconds after CWM is on the screen. Any ideas?

the translation is this is the wrong place to ask your questions. if u look carefully this is development section and you don't post your questions here. thats why u get no answer
Looks like we need a noob sticky..

Just download the drivers for windows and the md5 for the flash. Or you can try to reflash the cwn with Odin. Try using a tar it md5 file from the t989 sts. Our just look for the thread to go back to stock otherwise try to find the root the phone thread and try reflashing cwm for Odin.

Reflash super wipe then the rom.. Then always ask in the QAndA section from now on..

Restore to factory without computer

I am in a bit of a dilemma. my Galaxy s3 will not connect to any computer VIA USB. and i am currently rooted and on a custom rom (Jellybean)
Is there a way to return to at least the stock ROM (if I have to keep root, that is a risk I am willing to take) or am I screwed?
Any and all help is welcome and appreciated.
Try mobile Odin.. I've used it once, you can restore to factory without the need of a computer

Need help rooting.

Ok so I just bought a s3 on craigslist for 250 that was only used for a week or so. The phone is perfect in All aspects. The morning after I bought it I got an ota for JB. So I went ahead and installed. Now a couple of days later im Trying to root. I can get into download mode and connect to odin install the cwm tar and all goes good odin does its thing and says its has passed. Next I go to get into cwm recovery and it takes me to stock android recovery and wont let me install super user. Ive tried several other tar files hoping they we just bad downloads. My flash counter is at 7 now. Ive looked everywhere I can think of for a fix and find a lot of other things that point in a certain dirrection but I am unsure of which way to go. Any help would be great.

my solution was just to bite the bullet, and odin a full image that was already rooted. Takes a while, but solved my issues.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin before you flash the tar file, once it's done, unplug your device, and boot straight into cwm recovery, volume up home and power, flash su, reboot,done.

Which image did u flash.
I also tryed the other sugstion and no luck

I would recommend root66 if you just want stock with root injected, with no counter trips. From there you can CWM and play. Enjoy!
Doc's thread here:

WTF $250? That seller was nuts.

Yup. He was a apple fan. Decided to try android. Didnt like it cut his lisses and went back to it. His loss my gain.

If you just odin the cwm tar I dont think it will include the su files. You will need to flash a zip containing the binaries

Use the root66 img

[Q] bricked??

I am currently running jellybomb 8.0 but I wanted to flash 12.1so followed the new installation directions but when I did a factory reset I did a system wipe as well. (Per directions) now when I try to reboot it tells me there is no os. And I cant get out of twrp.Did I brick my phone? Can anybody help?
Flash a kernel
All you need to do is flash a new rom, not kernel. It says no os because you wiped the system out, hence no operating system. So just go back into recovery and flash a rom.

When that dosent work...flash a kernel

When I click install (using twrp) it just reboots back into twrp. Is there another way I am supposed to flash via twrp?
Fixed! !! Took the battery out overnight and reflashed backup. Thanks for all your help.

For future reference, booting to Odin mode (power off from TWRP, then Vol Down + Power + Center/Home Button) and flashing a LJC/LK8 one click will also get you back in the game.
