Hey guys,
I tried flashing the ICS rom (cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxy2.tar.tar) yesterday, My Samsung Galazxy S2 is already rooted, but when the phone rebooted after flashing the custom rom, it reboots to a black screen with a blue light lit. i can boot into CMW recovery, but when i try to restore from the NAndroid, it gives the error E:Can't mount sdcard. when i try to mount the sdcard, it gives the same error. When i put the phone into download mode to use ODIN to reflash it, ODIN doesn't even recognize the phone. if itry to format the card through CMW, it gievs Error mounting sdcard.....skipping format....Done.. If i try mount USB storage, it gives E: unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or...) How do i fix this, is it bricked? i never ran into this problem when i use to flash my EVO 4G, TP2, TP, or WM 6.5 Mogul.
Make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer and try a different cable. I think Odin is your only hope unless you try an external SD card.

I download the Samsung drivers from the website and downloaded Kies. When i try to push the rom through ADB, ADB cmd does not show the phone under listed devicesor it does not show up in Device Manager.
Maybe a different computer? If that doesn't work then I think its safe to say your device is dunskies

try reformatting the card in a PC or different phone & see if it reads.. it could be a corrupt card, but if you can get to recovery it shouldn't be bricked

would it be possible to re-partition from recovery? & doesn't ODIN have a repartition option..?
Once again. Your do not own a Galaxy S2, you own a Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Unless the page you downloaded the file from has Epic 4G Touch written all over it, it probably has NOTHING to do with your phone.
You will not find any CM9 build for our phone on Cyanogen Mod's website and you will never flash a rom, tar or anything that is marked for the i9100 or any other variant other than the SPH-D710 to your device.
The bootloader in the International tar you ODIN'd will not work with your phones USB. You will never ODIN anything again in this state. Get it jtag'd or replaced. You can sit here and fart around with it but you flashed software that was not compatible with the your hardware and most of it will no longer work until it has been replaced.

That is a garunteed brick. Just like the ICS leaks from samsung the bootloader borks the usb and storage can not be mounted.
It is NOT for your phone. Flashing roms from that section is just plain suicidal. Its like playing russian roulette with a full cylinder. The SPH-D710 is not an i9100. Lets say had it even come close to working you would have NO voice and No Data. The i9100 is a GSM phone, not CDMA and it does not use WiMax. The hardware in your phone is WAY different.
Our phone is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563658 and the nightlies are on goo.im
I did some searches and couldn't find a confirmed/direct answer to this. I am somewhat new to flashing ROMs but not new to technology.
I have an epic 4g touch. It is rooted with the unofficial 9/18 cm nightly on it. When I look through root I have a bunch of folders/files left over from apps long since removed and never used again. I have tried factory resets and clearing/ formatting caches etc etc. The root never seems to be touched inmost of these processes. With that said, how do I do a fully clean, erase everything wipe and reinstall of cwm and cm?
Thanks for your help!

Files on your SD card can be deleted using a file explorer like esfile. If its not that please explain what files you want to get rid of. If its on your internal or sdcard it will never be wiped using factory reset.

The internal should be erased if you do a factory reset from the phone's settings menu if I'm not mistaken. Doing a factory reset in recovery doesn't though.
Correct. Not external sd. Think of a full low level format of a HD and reinstall.
That's what I wound like to do.
Also,
Is Odin a hardware based admin terminal or is it firmware?

Odin is the software used to flash roms on your phone. Its not actually on your phone if I understand it correctly.

If you really want to clean everything out, format the User storage and any MicroSD card from the Storage menu and then flash the full restore Odin one click. Good as new and no lingering stuff.
Do not do this if your phone is flashed to a different carrier. It will mess up your nvram. You will possibly lose service. If on a touchwiz rom on sprints network you can also use the code ##786# I believe. It formats everything. I would take out tour external SD card as precaution.

But if I remember correctly this also wipes out the activation data in NVRAM... not a big deal if you're on Sprint, BIG deal if you've flashed the phone over to another carrier or MVNO.
As a result I don't usually recommend unless necessary.

You can get FI03 rooted. After the one click, boot back into download mode and flash Agat's FI03 + Recovery repack by Odin. Then use Triangle Away to make the yellow triangle disappear and you're all set!
Odin is pretty straight forward. You only use the PDA option on these devices, no matter what you're flashing. One clicks have the Odin software already in there so all you need to do is install USB drivers, go to Odin mode and click Start. The regular Odin package you specify the package in PDA, go to Odin Mode and click Start. Easy peasy... but PM if you have any ??s

Odin is a proprietary Windows application made by Samsung that connects and safely updates software on a phone such as ours. If you've ever updated by Kies it uses the same method. (This is what I know of it, please correct if I'm wrong).
There's also an Odin Mode which resides on the phone... but whether or not it's on one of the eMMC partitions I'm honestly not sure. Hopefully someone can confirm that one way or the other.

Ahh that's what I was looking for. Trying to figure out if Odin is a closed bios or if I could do something to screw it up. LoL

Odin is download mode, part of the firmware related to the bootloader as long as your bootloader is intact download mode will be intact, its entirely seperate from the rom, kernel/recovery, and data partitions. If you want to wipe both or one SD card(internal or external) you can format them from recovery.
ETA: download mode will work even without a rom or kernel on the device, its entirely self-contained in its own partition along side the bootloader and unless you manage to delete the bootloader partition, which will hardbrick your phone, download mode will work. If you've ever had an HTC device download mode is similar to the part of hboot that allows you to run an RUU to restore your device. Kies, Odin and heimdall use download mode as a way to restore/update the rom,kernel/recovery, data, bootloader(if there's an updated version) and modem partitions

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:

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.

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
Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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?

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
Hey guys,
I am a total n00b with android. I just got a Sprint Galaxy S3 the other day. I was messing around with different roms. I currently have cyanogenmod 10.1 stable. From within ClockworkMod Recovery, I wiped the data/factory reset, wiped the cache partition, formated /system, formated /data, formated /cache, and formated /sdcard. Now, the phone just sits at the cyanogenmod boot image. I cannot view the sd card storage on my windows 7 computer. The phone will still go into download mode, and recovery mode. What do I do? Please help.
Thanks in advance,
fjawor
Look up how to adb sideload a rom.
This isn't a brick, by the way. A brick would mean that your phone has the level of usefulness of a brick.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Thanks for the vocab correction... oops... Anyhow, the adb sideload seems to work, but my computer will not recognize my device at all. I am using windows 7. I have reinstalled the samsung drivers several times now. What do I do?
Try different usb ports and cords. You might even have to try a different pc. When I rooted my phone my laptop wouldn't work even tho it reconized the phone. You can even try odin to flash a stock rooted rom

I thought you couldn't flash ROMs with odin, only custom recoveries.
thanks anyway
If its a tar file you can flash in odin. And they have stock rooted tar files here on xda.
You can check out www.rwilco12.com he has a tar file not sure if its rooted tho.

This is still considered a type of bricking...the difference between the two is what matters.
Softbricks can be fixed kind of easily where as hardbricks are another beast in themselves

No, bricked means you no longer have a phone; you have a brick instead.
There's only 1 type of brick: the kind that doesn't do anything.

Ok from what I understand in my readings is that a softbrick is when you cannot load your Rom but can access download mode still and a hardbrick is when your phone will not enter download mode anymore without jtaging involved

Yeah but when you say brick it's taken to mean that your phone is just that; a brick
I agree but some users do not understand the difference
