+1 to mobile Odin
Your issue could be one of two things (assuming you have the correct drivers) either the version of Odin you're trying to use is outdated or your usb cable/port may not be functioning properly.
Just to verify, you're powering your phone off, holding power and volume down to enter download mode and selecting the option to flash a custom binary correct?
If yes, try another cable if you have one, or another usb port on your PC to rule out those factors. The yellow com port should light up letting you know you're connected.
Also try a newer version of Odin if you're not already running it.
If all else fails, mobile Odin is definitely worth the money:thumbup::beer:

You use it flash a safe recovery tar file then use that recovery to flash your new ROM and stock kernel.

If you're looking for stock unrooted gb08 you can use the full Tar file, but if you want a rooted custom ROM you need to flash a zip

Mobile Odin says some exe files may work. There's an EG30 factory ROM available, use that and flash EL29. Check the wiki for EG30 Odin.

Then just install the CWM kernel and you are good to go!
Fyi - If you don't like the yellow triangle on boot I'd use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM.

Just an FYI, installing CWM via the Auto Root package in the development sticky also would not trigger the yellow triangle.
Only flashing a kernel/recovery not signed by Samsung using regular ODIN will trigger the yellow triangle.

What are you trying to accomplish? There's a factory EG30 Tar file for Mobile Odin. It's not rooted but will get you to factory and you can update to EL29 via OTA. If you want to Odin and keep root you'll have to find a rooted ROM tar in one of sfhub's threads. At worst, you'll have to extract individual packets from the exe files or find an individual file in the resource section.

Alternatively, couldn't he just install the EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin, then restore a GB nandroid if he has one? This would keep him from having to install another rom altogether, and get him back to previous setup

Sure, if there is a nandroid backup that would be quickest to restore rom and user data. Still need to flash the modem as above.

Isn't modem completely independent of ROM and kernel though, so that wouldn't be necessary, unless he really wanted everything back to EL29?

It just depends what you want to restore to. You can run an EL29 ROM with a different modem. If someone says they want to restore back to a previous version, unless they mention otherwise, I give them instructions to restore modem, kernel, and ROM.
Hello,
Can someone help me find a link to a working stock unrooted rom in a zip format. I need to flash it and do not have access to a windows computer but all the files that I have found are no longer working links. I need this by tomorrow I have to take my phone to Sprint due to an issue with my hardware.
Thank you,
You said no access to Windows PC - how about ANY PC, including Mac/Linux? If so you can use Heimdall.
If not, how about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459529&highlight=el29
mobile odin is what you are looking for. Check it out in the market. You can flash .tar files from your phone.
I do have a Mac and I have used heimdall to flash kernel many times but I have never used it to flash roms and I do not know how to do it. I will look into the mobile odin.

Can you provide any more information on the problem that you're having? Might also help to know what you're currently running and if there are any issues beyond the ODIN OC problems mentioned.
I am running a calkulin 1.0 because I was relying to find a rom that at least looks stock. I have tried Odin and all it does to my phone is leave a message to connect to Kies for recovery. I reflash a kernel and fix it but all it seems to take is flashing using recovery.

Did you try the stock rom in the link I provided before? You should be able to do that by CWM.

That is the generic behavior if an ODIN flash does not complete.
What does the log say in ODIN OC?
That will give insight into why it is failing.
You can also take the ODIN OC files (or the individual .tar.md5 in the 2nd post of the ODIN OC threads) and feed them to Mobile ODIN (after unpacking the 7zip self extractors)

If you made a backup of el29 before you flashed, then yes....just download the el26 kernel w cwm and restore your backup. If you did not make a backup, you can try to download calks el29 rom and flash through the el26 cwm recovery. Your PC might recognize your phone and allow you to do a one click flash then.

Now that we have the latest official release for the new TouchWiz GB27 4.1.2, I figured I would update this thread for those that have downloaded the update from FL24 to GB27 via Kies.
This guide was written for Sprint devices however the procedure is the same for Boost and Virgin variants of the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. The only difference is the kernel you flash after rooting.
You WILL need to use a PC in order to gain root access
DISCLAIMER
DO NOT USE AGAT RECOVERY TO FLASH ANY AOSP ROM. THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF HARD BRICKS.
I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH YOUR DEVICE. THESE METHODS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE PROVEN TO WORK. FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS MAY GIVE YOU UNEXPECTED RESULTS.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
How to root with SuperSU
You will need...
Odin3_v3.04
Source built Jelly Bean kernel
SuperSU-v0.97
Stock GB27 kernel zip - optional
SuperSU from the Play Store
1. Using a Windows XP or greater based computer, download and extract Odin to a directory which you are comfortable using. You can extract to your desktop if you want. I personally use my documents folder.
2. Power off then press and hold volume down and power to enter download mode, plug in your USB cable after opening Odin. Click on PDA to select and flash the source built kernel.
3. Download this file and reboot to recovery by pressing and holding volume up and power then flash SuperSU-v0.97.zip
4. After flashing the SuperSU zip, flash the GB27 stock kernel and reboot. This is now optional, the source built kernel works perfectly and can be used as a DD.
5. Download SuperSU from the Play Store.
6. Open the SuperSU app and update the binary.
This method WILL trigger the yellow triangle and increase your flash counter by 1 count.

One-Click Method
You will need...
GB27 Rooted Nodata
1. Download the Rooted Nodata from the link above.
2. Using a Windows XP or greater computer, open the One-Click package.
3. Power down your phone and then press and hold volume down + power to enter download mode. Plug in your USB cable.
4. Click start.
This method WILL NOT trigger the yellow triangle or increase your flash counter.
You now have root access. Congratulations.
Do you have an ugly yellow triangle after performing one of the first two methods? Do you want to get rid of that and reset your flash counter back to 0?
Chainfire has an app for that!
