Bricked my phone today. When powered on it freezes on the splash screen. Will boot into download mode but will not connect to Odin (my first choice for reflashing a rom/kernel to fix it). Will boot into stock recovery but everything I've tried flashing fails signature verification.
Anyone have a link or can point me in the direction of something I should be able to install via the stock recovery?
Earlier leaked version would let u flash from stock recovery but on fc05 its a no go. U gonna have to odin the stock el29 or eg30. If ur pc don't recognize your phone other option mobile Odin its 4.99 in the market.
It would be lot easier if u mention what rom or recovery up running?

Are you sure you have the right drivers installed on ur PC? After that try diff USB ports or a new cable.

Yeah mobile odin is a no go bc it won't boot past the splash screen. A couple of the older stock leaks will flash from stock recovery though? I'll have to try that.
Tried wiping repeatedly, still stalls.
I've reinstalled the drivers a couple of times, literally tried 4 different cables & every USB. Phone is recognized by computer when it's stalled on the splash screen, just not in download mode.
thanks all for the input!

Rooted with stock el29 a while back. usb port seems unusable. have tried numerous cables. installed and uninstalled drivers countless times. Would like to get cwm5 flashed to phone but cant seem to figure out how without odin. Flash image gui doesnt support the 4g touch. is there any other options?
Try mobile Odin, almost the same as the PC version or look for the el26 kernel zip on the wiki

Thanx Cricket Droid mobile odin looks good. Does anyone have a good link to the rogue hitman 1.5(zip) or can I use the tar with mobile odin?
It charges fine. cant get a windows pc or linux to recognize it. I think some water got on it at some point. Never been able to figure it out.
Thanks guys. Mobile odin worked great, got hitman on there with cwm touch. Works great so far.
Your welcome, good to hear you got it working

I went back to stock rooted EL29...when i try to mobile odin to anything, the phone boots and hangs on sgII screen...
Anyone seen this before? Any suggestions to resolve? Trying to avoid ICS and my 6 hour battery life, but I'd like some flexibility...
What rom and kernel combo are you using? If both your rom and kernel are based on the same android os (gingerbread, ics, jelly bean) it should boot. If you have an ics rom with a gb kernel it won't boot. If you have a safe recovery installed try mounting usb storage and transferring a rom to your sd card to flash again...otherwise just do an odin oc that'll sort you out.

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.

I cannot access the external memory card from CWM, it says "No files found", if I could, I would have flashed a new rom already.

Have you tried the drivers found here http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/LeakSite/?dir=Leaks/Misc Files
Delete all Sammy drivers from your laptop restart your laptop then install the drivers you get from the link
If that doesn't work then why don't you boot into the ROM, use mobile Odin and flash the modem and recovery you want t seperately(if you can)

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.
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.

thats where I downloaded from before, Everytime I get into Odin it gets stuck on Getting PIT for mapping..........sits there, then fails. phone is in download mode, USB cord that came with phone. ive tried reinstalling USB drivers a million times.
have you looked into Mobile Odin? and i would consider downloading the firmware again in the event the one you have is bad.

Tried mobile Odin, it soft bricked my phone, had to plug in to a full charge before I could even get it back into recovery. The first 24 hours it wouldn't even go back into download or recovery... I thought I was going to have to get a new phone. Weirdest thing ever. Downloaded and tried a new stock firmware. I feel like I'm running out of options.. Lol and every time I triangle away I reboot and my triangle is back..lol

Was really hoping you'd find a solution to this. Sometime ago my phone's USB stopped working as well. It can still charge but the computer does not recognize it. My Googlefu has led me to believe this has happened to a hand full of people with Samsung phones.

Are you using the stock USB cord. it is 11 pin and most others are 5. Makes a difference.

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.

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

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
