OK--1st post EVER in a forum, so I feel like I'm gonna get layed into,
but here goes:
Just got Epic Touch two days ago and felt I needed root so I downloaded
and used the EL29 Odin one-click method of flashing the stock rooted ROM.
This was yesterday. No problems. Took 15 minutes. I installed some apps,
then I installed ROM Manager And tried to use it to install CW, but I'm not sure if that was successful, as I tried to do a couple of NAND backups from within the GUI
of ROM Manager and failed both times, going to the stock android recovery screen.
I think I pulled the battery both times.
Then I installed Widget Locker, was playing around with that for a bit, took
a photo and tried to attach it to a text response, then the phone locked while
I was sending that. Pulled battery, wont get past Samsung startup screen.
Looked around a bit, decided to try and reflash using the one-click method.
I get:

<ID:0/006> recovery.bin
every time. BTW, I cannot access anything with VolUP+power buttons.
I've tried different combos of that, always Samsung boot screen hang.
I can get into Odin, and Odin sees my device. but never has the device indicated
that anything is happening. No progress bar.
Also, I have tried the two USB cables that i have in all the ports of my computer,
but I do not have another handy.
So I poked around and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492771
which suggested I individually flash ROM, kernel, and modem.
none of that has worked, either.
Flashing the modem does get a green progress bar(in Odin, not on the device),
but then it hangs at--

...and a hang.
So....... haven't foud anything else adressing this. Lotta stuff out there about
careless ICS/CWM brickers, but I didn't do anything fancy, did I?
Just stock rooted, 5 hours of use and blammo.
Thanks for the assistance.
Are you using Kies or the full Samsung driver suite? Also, have you tried (with the phone still unplugged) running the one-click odin on the pc, getting into odin mode on the phone and THEN plugging the phone in?
Edit: If you need them, the samsung drivers are here:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Please remove kies prior to installing them. In any case, you should probably uninstall what you have now and install the driver suite if it's still not working, then reboot the pc and try again. Sometimes the drivers aren't working correctly and require a reinstall.
I was gonna suggest a pc reboot as well, often times that helps when Odin hangs on me.
Once you get recovered I'd suggest not using cwm manager to install a custom recovery, instead get one from these forums which is specifically for the epic touch.
The original epic had a method of reaching download mode with the battery removed, not sure if that's an option here maybe someone can give the procedure.

I think what Rocket meant to say is not use Rom Manager any more.

I have BOTH installed...but Kies I only installed midway (i.e. this morning)
through troubleshooting. nonetheless i will uninstall/reboot/reinstall/reboot
with these guys. Which is better?
And YES, EVERY time i've tried something with either EL29 oneclick or 1.85 regular Odin, I have always started Odin first, and then plugged the phone in.
If I plug the phone in before putting it in download mode, it just displays an empty battery charging icon, and cannot be turned off except by removing battery.

I HAVE rebooted, several times, though perhaps the driver/drivers are an issue.
I have to go out of town tonight so I'll try some more tomorrow and repost.
Pep talk, though: If it goes into download mode, there's a 99.9 percent chance that I can recover it, right?
Thanks for the replies.

It sounds like you're ok but Kies needs to go, it conflicts with the regular drivers and causes issues using odin. Goood luck and let us know how it goes.
make sure the samsung drivers are on you PC/Laptop. make sure your computer sees your phone. I have read that sometimes trying different USB ports and cables can be helpful as well when using Odin. hope this helps.
OK--- uninstalled Kies and reinstalled Samsung drivers and restarted and such.
Tried oneclick and still getting stuck at recovery bin.
Tried all three usb ports.

You're likely bricked. Sorry. Rom Manager has been bad for almost all Samsung phones.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Allow your phone to charge for SEVERAL hours.
Follow this guide to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
Flash this rom which has root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703406
If you follow this correctly and your phone does not boot. You are bricked.
Sounds like somehow you reversed the modem or rom and flashed them between the phone and pda (which I hope you didn't because you are bricked if you did... but its good in away because you can take it back and say look what I woke to...).
Let us know if it works...
Edit- and if it does boot, don't ever try to install cwm with rom manager on this phone.
No dice. I am, however, going to give it one more try on a friends computer this evening. That's my last throw though, I think, unless I get some fresh inspiration.
I'll report back tomorrow.
OK---I gave it everything, and no dice.
This phone was bricked.
I believe using ROMManager to try and install CWM f'd some things,
and perhaps when I was trying to do individual flashes
in Odin I flashed a modem in PDA.
Thanks for all responses.
Tried everything and nothing
So I wasn't trying anything crazy with my phone, left it charging, and went to check the time and it was off, tried turning it on and nothing.
I was running CM10 Beta 2... so I went into recovery mode, tried to run do wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik, wipe cache, flash the CM10 again, and it was getting stuck.
Mounted usb on pc and tried to save some files to flash the full tar through odin, in the middle of that copy it failed, so I tried to odin the tar anyway and it was getting stucked.
Tried flashing modem separately - stuck on Wait 2 mintues...
Tried flashing kernel separately - stuck on NAND Write Start!!
Tried flashing rom - stuck
Tried flashing pit file - stuck
Tried one click - stuck
The thing is that I can't just say to samsung service that I didn't do anything to the phone, because when you try to boot in recovery it shows CWM 6..., but only one line, it doesn't really load cwm.
So even if I use a usb jig to reset odin counter, they'll notice I had done some stuff to the phone, even when I wasn't really doing anything when it crashed.
Any new way to fix the phone? I don't have insurance or anything, so I might be pretty much screwed
Anything else I could do? Thank you very much!
Well, dang... I've tried everything I can think of and am stuck. If any of you have suggestions, I'll be forever in your debt.
So I was trying out a few ROMS on my I747. The last working one I had was LiquidSmooth Android (v2.1 I believe) but it was rebooting on me more often than I'd like, so I tried booting into TWRP to restore my last Nandroid of the rooted stock ROM I had been running fine. I know that Nandroid backup was a good one because I have restored it before. So anyway, I boot into TWRP and suddenly TWRP asks me for a password, which it has never done before. It almost looked like TWRP thought my device was encrypted, which it wasn't. But then when I hit "cancel" and tried to use the TWRP Factory Reset wipe, all of the attempts to mount the partitions failed! So I decided to let TWRP reboot the device, thinking something weird was going on with TWRP that would be fixed the next time I loaded it (DOH!) and I've been hosed ever since.
I am in a stange position with my I747 now. The OS won't boot at all. It forces the phone to try to boot into recovery, which is the latest TWRP. Unfortunately that just hangs at the "teamwin" screen and never goes on. First thing I decided to try was to flash a fresh TWRP thinking my TWRP had gotten mucked up. When got the latest TWRP tar from your Toolkit "recovery" folder (I am a donator from a day or two ago) it looked like it successfully flashed the TWRP to the phone, although I'm a bit worried maybe I don't understand Odin's output. Here is what it shows when I flash the TWRP:

The phone reboots like the re-write of TWRP was successful, but then it just hangs at the "teamwin" screen again. So then I thought I'd try flashing CWM instead.. The output from ODIN looks basically the same, but when I reboot into recovery I again am stuck at the "teamwin" screen from TWRP! WTH?
Why am I still seeing the "teamwin" screen if I just flashed CWM and Odin says it succeeded? I'm guessing it has something to do with the "RQT CLOSE !!" line in the log above. Is that actually a failure message that I thought was a success message? It isn't real clear..
So then my last fall back was just to flash the whole stock ROM again. Sadly, that didn't seem to work either. It actually gives me a WRITE (Fail!) message. Here is the output of Odin when trying to write the stock ROM to the phone in Download mode. I'm trying to flash the files called "I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5".

As you can see, the MD5 checks passed with no problems, but the actual writing of the code to the NAND fails immediately. At this point I have no idea what to try next.
And for the record, I also tried flashing back the original boot image from your Toolkit called "boot-stock-dlk3-SGHI747.tar". Here is what I get when I try to flash that with Odin.

Any suggestions anyone might have for what to do next would be most appreciated. Sadly, this is my only phone, and my employer pays for it. I need to get it up and running as soon as I can, if it is possible. Probably shouldn't have been messing with it in the first place, but I'm a tinkerer at heart.. What can I say?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for any tips any of you can share!!

Sorry for not being more clear.. I was using the various tar files, and the Odin exe file from the Toolkit, but I was using them on their own. I would go into the Toolkit install folder and crank of Odin binary by itself, outside of the other tools..
And when I tried flashing a Stock ROM, it would give me the "WRITE (FAIL!)" error.. When I tried re-flashing any recovery, CWM or TWRP, it would say success but when I booted into recovery it would always be TWRP and it would always freeze at the "teamwin" screen and never get past it.
Thoughts?

If you read my post again you will see that I have tried both flashing a stock ROM (non-rooted, got a WRITE error) and flashing a recovery (seems to be successful, but doesn't actually change the recovery on my phone), and neither seem to be working.
Is there any way you guys know of to get passed the messages I'm seeing in ODIN?
Thanks! Much appreciate you guys taking the time to respond!

You are right and I don't mind going back to stock ROM at all. I downloaded the stock ROM and tried to flash it with ODIN directly. As you will see in my original post, I got a message from ODIN saying the NAND write had failed.. No idea why! That is why I'm stuck and not sure what to try next.
I have a good Nandroid backup that I could restore if I just had access to TWRP, but it seems hosed up and won't get past the "teamwin" screen, but when I try to reflash TWRP, or CWM Recovery for that matter, it looks like ODIN says it was successful but I always end up stuck right back at that teamwin screen. Even after I just flashed CWM Recovery!! So something isn't right.
Any other ideas?
I don't think you are going to get back in to the recovery. Pull the battery and sim. Let it sit for a while. Did you go and download the tar from link I provided? It could be that the one you have is corrupted. I dunno. Good news is you are not bricked, just soft bricked. We just need the right combo to get it back into the os. It sounds stupid but try another USB cable if you have one.

I have tried multiple USB cables but that didn't help. The tutorial you linked was actually what I was reading last night to try to fix this myself without bothering anyone here. Unfortunately I get down to step 11 and that is where the problem happens. Odin gives me the output in my oringinal message and tells me the stock ROM could not be written to the NAND. That is why I'm stuck. If you look at my original post, it is in the second quote of ODIN output, and it says:
Code:
<ID:0/007> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/007> FAIL! (Write)
I always thought if I could get back to download mode, I'd be able to recover, but unless I can figure out why ODIN can't write the stock ROM to my NAND, I do not know what to try next..
Thanks! Any other ideas?

I did download the same Stock ROM referenced and that is what I've been trying to load. The TAR file seems fine because ODIN says it passes the MD5 checks before it tries to flash it. I have tried it after pulling the battery for a while. Will pull the SIM also, just in case..

For the record, here is a screenshot of what ODIN looks like when I try to flash the stock ROM..
I'm starting to wonder if I need to start using some of the other options in ODIN. Obviously need to understand what they do much better before I start trying things. I don't want to hard brick the device. At least I can still get into download mode at this point!
Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help!

Make sure you are using the stock usb cable that came with the phone. Most micro usb cables are 5 pin, whereas the GS3 has an 11 pin connector and usb cable.

Hmm.. That is interesting. I don't know if I have the original cable or not. Is there a marking on the original that will let me know. I have some many USB cables laying around from Blackberries and other devices, I'm not sure which one is which anymore..
I have successfully flashed stuff with these cables before.. Thoughts?

Any time I try to go into recovery I just hang at the TWRP startup screen that says "teamwin".. Even after ODIN tells me "success" on flashing CWM Recovery!! Obviously the flashing of recovery isn't really working even though ODIN is telling me it is a success.
I'm starting to think I have NAND corruption and need to repartition. Does anyone know where to find a STOCK ROM file that is safe to use with the ODIN repartition option?

I have so many microUSB cables lying around here from various devices (BB 9800, Playbook, etc..) I don't know which one is the one that came with the GS3 anymore. Is there a way to tell?
That having been said, aren't they all the same as long as they were made for data sync and power?
And I'm not giving up, I'm just pretty sure I am suffering from what I see referred to in other threads as NAND Corruption. I think I might need to re-partition in order to get it resolved. But in order to do that, of course, I need a good PIT file for my device. Anyone know where I can find a PIT file that is made for this phone (SGH-I747)? I'm not worried about loosing any data. I have a good Nandroid I know I can recover with if I can just get TWRP working again..

Yea...that's got to be it. Gs3 cable all black with a black shiny micro SD connector. Keep us up to date if you fix it.

Accidentally wiped everything in TWRP, "no OS installed" - what are my options?
I rooted my tablet last night and everything went fine, and the next step way to install a custom ROM. So I was attempting to move my download of CleanROM onto my external SD...but I forgot that I have no external SD card! I went into TWRP and wiped internal storage thinking it would be there, and now I get a message saying "No OS Installed are you sure you want to reboot?" whenever i try to exit TWRP.
I am assuming my only option at this point would be to ODIN back to stock? If anyone could tell me exactly how to do this, step by step (and specifically which files I need & where to get them) it would be greatly appreciated because my tablet is a $600 paperweight at this point and I am not too familiar with ODIN.
I also read some things about using something called "ADB" to load a ROM onto the tablet, but again I am not familiar with this at all and I would need to know specifically how to do this. I tried to figure it out with Google but all the instructions seemed too device-specific.

Steps to follow :
1. Extract the attached odin 3.09.
2. Download your region rom from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P600 or if you are looking for US firmware then from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-P600&pcode=XAR#firmware.
3. Unzip your firmware.
4. Go into download mode by pressing power + volume down, then volume up.
5. Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop until the com port on the left hand side turns blue.
6. Place your extracted rom in the "AP" bar.
7. Hit "Start"
8. Wait till installation is complete .
You should be good to go .
Thank you so much. Before i go ahead and do this, could you clarify one thing for me? On the firmwares page, it does not specify which one would be for the WiFi, American version which is what I have. Do you know which one i should choose? It does not specify "2014" edition anywhere so i just want to make sure i pick the right one, thanks

These are all for the 2014 edition, just choose the latest build date Nov. MK1 for the US

The firmware for USA is Cellular South http://terafile.co/574648641665/P600UEUBMK1_P600XARBMK1_XAR.zip
I think a small couple of small files in "data/media", which holds mostly unimportant stuff, must not get deleted or it's bricktime. Like when i once formatted "data" on my old tablet.
I had this same problem, however I fixed it using adb sideload. You can install it from here. First go to advanced in TWRP and click the ADB option. Then you just need to open cmd, change your directory to where the ROM zip is, then write "adb sideload test.zip" where the quotes are removed and test is the name of your zip which should be something like "CleanROM-2.0-R2.zip"
Thanks for all the help. I was able to get back to stock using Odin and am now rooted running CleanROM. I'll be using that ADB info in the future for sure too.
Dealing with the same issue!

Same thing is happening with me. How I can edit it ?
I tried Winzip and 7Zip but there are errors in Odin...
I'm facing a similar issue but my device is Moto G5s Plus.
The problem I'm facing is that I accidently wiped out the mobile's system completely, and now it does not even have an "internal storage" partition at all (since it shows 0 MB). Hence, I cannot even transfer any files to my mobile because my computer does show the phone detected but no "internal storage exists".
Please help me out..

I would try a different version of Odin Also make sure you have the correct tablet ROM, try getting yourself back to stock before other ROMS.

Ty for replying.
I think I have the correct firmware file from sammobile. EUR-P600XXSDRI1-20190117145157.zip
I also noticed that the tablet says that there is no root. But I have trwp.
i accidentali wiped everything in TWRP ON MY REALME 3 PRO... now stuck in bootloader with twrp working.....
So I've been at this for a total of 9 hours now...here's the story:
Yesterday I have my trusty Note 4 on the charger, it charges fully and I unplug from the cord.
I hit the home button and the screen stays black like it was frozen.
I hit the power button, nothing happens.
I pull the battery, put it back in, nothing.
It finally goes back on and I get the Cant do normal boot:"MMC_Failed" and I'm stuck on the Odin screen.
Try to just re-flash the stock rooted ROM I was using at the time of this disaster and I kept getting the same message so I bring the phone to a Sprint service center where, when I walk in the front door and tap the power button, the phone lights right up and works. Now I look like a clown.
I leave the store and it freezes again so I try a factory reset, which sets this whole process in motion again once I set it up...freezes, "can't do normal boot" etc.
Then after someone suggested to flash the latest TWRP (3.0.0.0) and a stock firmware, I get a "system write fail" in Odin (both 3.09 & 3.10) so I try to flash the stock ROM again now I get a "No PIT File" error.
I flash the PIT file specific for my phone I got from SamMobile along with the same ROM and the phone wouldn't start.
I noticed the "system" was unchecked in TWRP so I checked it before doing anything but still no luck as of last night/this morning at 3:00am.
I wake up this morning and it goes right on with no issue just like a fresh/factory reset device.
Is there something i can do to make sure everything is ok so I don't have to go through this again?
I need this Note 4 to work.
I have been running stock OJ6 rooted ROM and that's it. No mods or anything, just root so for this to start acting up the way it did or why it happened is beyond me.
Someone recommended to install ClockworkMod so that would fix the "system" error but I'd rather see if anyone else had the same problem and how they fixed it before I attempt anything else.
Usually, any time I ever had a problem I clear the dalvik/cache, factory reset or flash firmware in Odin and everything is straight.
Thanks ahead of time for any help.
What method are you rooting with? Kernel and SuperSU version? Stock patched kernel or custom kernel?
Sounds like hardware failure but it could be unstable root with Knox fighting it and causing confusion. Knox and root don't coexist well.
When you pull battery, do you wait at least 30 seconds and use power button to drain residual power before reinserting battery? I've also noticed that power down doesn't happen so quickly as you think it should. Also, every black screen is not a power down state. Something is not quite right if you experience black screens in system booted mode but I wouldn't be so quick to pull the battery. Give it time to recover or hold power and volume up to reboot it if black screen persists on you. Battery pulls may be corrupting memory or losing data.
Edit: Philz CWM recovery has been recommended to wipe and flash when TWRP fails to do so. But it's been demonstrated that stock recovery can wipe where Philz fails to. Ultimately, I think some of the users reporting such were experiencing hardware failure so it's either randomness of successful wipe or the stronger tool demonstrating itself. Also since TWRP has been updated, it's unknown in my thinking which is the better Recovery to wipe and flash with. I prefer TWRP but thankfully haven't had the occasion of failed Odin or recovery flashes.
Your battery or power switch may contributing to the bad experience as well.

If you're trying to boot un-rooted, you may be using stock kernel with systemless root? Why stock kernel? It's more stable in that fashion of full un-root with systemless SuperSU root.
But latest Beastmode works well; keep it updated. There was the initial release that somehow got hindered by a Samsung security update and boot looped once the update was pushed.
Anyway, if you're using systemless root, keep the SuperSU beta up to date for stability purposes. It's experimental as far as Lollipop is concerned and doesn't play well with system modifications.
Or maybe you're not using it for frequent full un-root? I'm actually testing it again with stock kernel ATM.

If you've wiped everything but extSdCard and flashed the stock tar in Odin, there shouldn't be any trace of root. You're not rooted.
Did you try factory reset in stock recovery? Can't recall, but is there also a format data option in stock recovery? If so, try that too.

@broad_st_bully any luck on this issue since last post? or had you given up? I am experiencing the same issue but with the tmobile version running cmremix rooted.... at least it was...
so, i decided to flash back to 5.1.1 but i have unfortunately was not be able to pull this move from some weird error.
After many attempts here's what I've done.
I used the Flashable Tar for 6.0.1 MM and after awhile for my experience i went and tried to flash back to OL1 5.1.1 the latest rev and now i was stuck with Odins "Set Partition" or "BootLoader" wont flash or format nothing phase,
After i rebooted the phone, i noticed i could still access TWRP and Download mode and left with nothing to flash but going to TWRP and charge my phone....
In Twrp i was left with its "Unable to mount" and "Invalid arguement" issues after each little label for trying to mount and everything from the log, i've tried zip from a OTG and that didn't work even sideloading wouldn't help. I was left with nothing and it kept confusing.
My drivers were up to day, i tried a different Odin 10.7 and even tried Kies but that didn't even work so.
I made another attempt with Odin one more time and i was left with this log.
for flashing the 5.1.1 again G920PVPU3BOL1_G920PSPT3BOL1_G920PVPU3BOL1_HOME.tar.md5

It would hang from this point doing nothing, and sometimes even after words it would say "Set Partition" or "Bootloader" in bold, and when i reset the phone to go back into "TWRP" it sends me this response.

I'm ultimately stumped,
So earlier which took about 1-2 hours to finally figure this out, i've tried wiping data,cache and etc or anything for that matter, and then I received a slew of "Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)" and "Unable to mount storage" when trying to flash anything. Surprisingly enough, my internal memory shows up as 0mb aswell, then i went to "Wipe" - "Format Data"- "Yes" and it formatted with it's function and i rebooted back into Twrp it reads its original storage but i'm still left with no way to boot up completely.
sometime after i've tried flashing the 6.0.1 tar and i recieved this
6.0.1\ALL_SPT_G920PVPU3CPB6_G920PSPT3CPB6_CL7280193_QB8664149_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

I have googled around XDA and around the general web, and I see a lot flashing for PIT or extracting the tar to make odin read it and attempt to flash it 1by1 but im not sure how to entirely do that I'd like this to be as easy as possible since i only have very little knowledge for Attempts to solve this.
I am not sure where to find the other files, let alone Bootloader for the MM stock flashable 6.0.1 or the 5.1.1 latest rev, I have the stock tar but not the rest.
I am genuinely asking for help, with someone that has maybe had this issue, or what can be done to solve it.
Any help would be vastly appreciated.
so, i've tried multple tars and nothing has worked for me it is always stuck that one file sboot.bin i've tried the OL1 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 stock tar it just isnt cutting it, BUT what i've notcied is that i was able to flash the Renegade rom in TWRP via OTG and it worked, iwas able to access the phone like usual and everything was written just fine but im still lost as to why it wont flash that sboot.bin file. i practically cant reset or reformat my phone.
How bout restarting the computer, Maybe a differnt one. How many times have you flashed that phone? Maybe this might start happening to others time will tell. personally i dont like odin I only use it only when needed to reset update firmware or recovery update. Its not often. Is your cable wore out hey at least you got the renegade rom and can flash something.
You know you can't downgrade right? Once you update you can't go back.

That is not entirely true. And you can always JTAG back even, lol.

Yes. Regardless, your going to break something if you flash different bootloaders.
how would i be able to do that? i've tried different cables and im now trying the different odin and twrp im scared it will just keep saying sboot.bin forever i mean it was just a simple flash mm6.0.1 tar from the threads not the official one :/ and then downgradin didnt let me is there a way i can log that?
provided any links? or bootloader files?
I was able to flash back to 5.1.1 via offical TAR with no bricking, many people have done the same, granted, usually this isnt possible, but has worked for me many times now on customer devices as well as once on my own, just to test it lol.
can u send me your tar file? by chance?

Here. I did the downgrade 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 too with no problem.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/60059/G920PVPU3BOJ7_G920PSPT3BOJ7_SPR/
So for right now I'm still unable to flash the Tars still. Even with the same and different tar I downloaded. I've tried different cables, computers, I just i don't seem to figure this out.... What do I do? Is there a way to capture an Odin log or even on my phone??
The xmit data writ happens after I restart my phone because it just hangs or freezes on the sboot.bin file or item..... Is there a way to flash it seperately??? I'm still some how running the 6.0.1 renegade custom rom tho and everything else is fine

I recommend getting a pit file and flashing it. You seem to be having partition issues as noted by the TWRP error logs when it tries to mount things.
I made one awhile ago, it's for the 32GB variant if that's what you have try and Google search for it. Don't ask me for it because I'll have to Google search too but don't have the time right this second.

If you have the 32GB variant, here is a PIT file I made awhile back that has helped and worked for others.

So you flashed the PIT file then flashed Stock TAR and it all worked?

So what did we learn from this? Always make a nandroid?

Nandroid can't restore partition information. Only PIT can lol.
