phone was flashing jelly bean roms now it wont - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

My phone today for some reason now won't flash any jelly bean roms. When I try to flash them the rom stays in a boot loop. But any ics or gingerbread is fine. I tried every stock no root gb27 and gb28 but same thing it just stays in a boot loop.

Howdy.
1st - Don't forget that we have Sections and placing your post in the right one would probably lead to a faster response.. Epic 4G Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
*edit* Mod moved from General.
2nd - Can you give us a run down on your flashing process? Would save a bunch of questions.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section..when I flash I do a wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik. Then install..never had a problem before.

Try flashing this first before you flash a ROM-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077277

After you flash and you're in a bootloop, pull the battery and go into recovery and do a factory reset and reboot

Didn't work

Did you try to Odin ICS unrooted and take the OTA update?

If memory serves me correctly, KIES should be able to update it. Check and see if you're d/l'ing and update by checking for an update manually in settings. But I'm pretty sure KIES will get you there as well.
*edit* I can break out my e4gt to refresh my memory.. just need to get out the can of air to blow the dust off..

Settings/System Update

Ok did that it says no update available..its looking like my phonr just wont except jelly bean anymore.

Can't we swtich T989 to T989D (Stock) ROM?

Hello
I use T989 in south korea.
And I heard that Telus T989D get ICS upgrade and get ICS tar.md5 burn to my T989 via Odin 1.85.
But always fail(stuck) when amss.bin download.
T989 GingerBread / T989D GingerBread / T989D ICS all STOCK ROM
(Refer the include picture)

So I change to Telus GingerBread STOCK tar.md5 to my T989 and it was failed too when amss.bin.
Finally i think that T989 device can't swap to T989D stock rom.
Can't we change STOCK ROM Swap t989 and t989d?
Just only system partition compatible?
I can try ODIN in "re-partition" function, but i CAN'T expect successful.

Awesome to hear. Let me know if you are having an issue with any compass apps. For some reason some people (myself included) can't get the compass to register correct readings. Thanks.
Going crazy here...
I've used CWM to flash both:
'Telus_SGH-T989DTLLE4_Stock_Rooted.zip' and 'SGH-...LLE4_radio.zip'
However, when I launch KIES I still get
"Your device does not support software upgrading via KIES" message.
Any ideas?
Flashing the ROM and radio provides you with the upgrade. There is no need to upgrade via Kies if you used this method.
Finally worked... kept freezing, I toggled signature to Enabled and it finally booted
Thanks!

Samsung epic 4g touch flashing roms

Hi! So I have a rooted Samsung epic 4g touch, and I read the instructions on how to install cysnnogen mod. It's just that I am new to rooting and I don't understand what I should do. If I install a custom ROM how do I boot back into stock. (BTW I have jellybean that I flashed from Samsung myself) rooted 4.1
I rooted following these instructions.

You can either flash a TouchWiz ROM or a One Click to get back to stock.

Re-post you're question in the Q and A section at the top of the page.. and I will be happy to help you get cwm recovery and explain flashing custom roms ( in general )
One click exe's are odin style tools you can use to flash a kernel, rom, recovery, etc, without needing to use the full odin tool. All you need to do, is boot your phone into download mode, connect the phone into your computer, and hit the volume up button. After those steps are complete, you can click "start" in the one click exe. It will flash the file for you, without requiring you to make sure that the proper options are checked in an odin tool.
My epic 4g touch for some reason became finicky today and will only flash certain roms now. It will only except blue kuban el29 gingerbread,blue kuban fl24 ics, viperRom v1 and 2.When I try to flash any other roms like cyanogen 10.1,slim beans and even stock gb27 and gb28 full restore it loads but stays in boot image loop.But it will except stock fl24 no data restore one click just fine and el29 but won't except jelly bean along with other roms. It was working just fine two days ago. What could be the problem I don't like be limited to only certain roms. Thx.

The issue may be because the different roms you mention use different recoveries. Try this method:
1. Click restore for whatever rom you want to restore
2. Once it restores, don't reboot phone yet
3. Click the advanced tab
4. Choose reboot recovery ( this installs the correct recovery for the rom you want to restore)
5. Restore desired Rom once again after recovery boot ( this time it will allow rom to be restored on proper recovery)
6. Reboot phone
Edit: Also, you will need to reflash correct modem after install. This can be done after you restore rom, prior to rebooting phone
So I tried what u mentioned above,still didn't work. It won't flash any ROM that is jelly bean. Only gingerbread or ICS. I read somewhere that my recovery needs to be updated so I tried that also and still no cigar for flashing jelly bean.

Do you have insurance? Try to flash the ICS no root one click then try to upgrade via OTA or Kies... If that doesn't work take it in and say you want a new device cuz you can't use JB.
Tried stock no root restore sprint and vm and all it does is boot loop as it does with any jelly bean rom. There's gotta be a way to fix it with out having to get a new phone.
try
u need to wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache then run format script flash rom and then modem and then reboot

[HELP] SPH-D710VMUB Stock (Rooted) (FJ12) to Dirty Unicorns 4.2

As the tile says, I need some help, possibly a walkthrough tutorial, on how to get from rooted stock FJ12 to Dirty Unicorns 4.2 ROM on my SPH-D710VMUB (Virgin Mobile). I had it running fine at one point and then things got screwed up after I updated to 4.3 and tried making to modifications to fix some issues I was having, so I had to revert back to rooted stock. And now, for the life of me I cannot remember how I got there. Any new ROM I attempt to install via recovery throws an error (error 7 if I recall correctly) and will not install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean DU 4.3..
Make sure first you're on an ICS modem...if not. Flash it in recovery on the tw ROM you're on now so you can update prl/profile..If you need a cwm recovery for the stock ROM you're on..Look in rwilco12 repo for a custom kernel with cwm for you're build..
This is how I flashed it..
Boot to cwm on current ROM...
Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and format system
Flash DU 4.3...wait
When it's done...Don't Reboot..Go to advanced and pick reboot recovery
When new recovery comes up....do the wipes again
Now flash DU 4.3 again
Reboot when its done..
Let it settle for a few ...
Boot to cwm
Flash gapps...reboot..
Enjoy...:good:
Thanks. I'll give it a try when I have time in the near future.
The issue that I'm having is that recovery won't flash anything and just gives me an error every time. Is there a way to upgrade the recovery without switching modems?
Mobile Odin, PC Odin... You probably have the stock kernel, which won't flash anything.

Find cwm in tar format and flash it using pc or mobile Odin.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Mobile Odin is an app that allows you to flash kernels in tar format... Find it here on XDA.
Thank you for your help. If I continue to have problems I will continue the conversation later, but for now I'm going to try a touchwiz based ROM since battery life on stock seems so much better.
I'm following these exact steps and I can't get 3G nor 4G to work.
I used ODIN to get ICS stock rooted, then installed the CWM Kernel, and installed DU 4.3.
Any help here.. I've been going crazy for months trying to get this to work.
Thank you.

I've tried different scenarios of installing a different Virgin Mobile modems after doing a full wipe/cash/etc. I've also tried doing a stock install of JB (after trying a stock VM ICS) before i wiped and installed DU 4.3. I read somewhere that 3G and 4G for Virgin doesn't work on the new DU 4.3.

No recovery on aokp rom

I'm using the aokp mildstone 5 rom and it doesn't have a custom recovery. I tried flashing stock cmw5,ff18,stock rogue,el26,stock twrp. Every one that I flashed on it doesn't work when I go to reboot sys it won't reboot the rom or it will do the android is updating apps but when it finishes it just freezes.Also it won't run google play services or play store they both force close had to download the apps that I needed manually from dev-host.I like this rom and want to back it up but no recovery works and it sucks not being able to use play store
Wow that's an old version of AOKP. I would flash EL29 directboot kernel via Odin. Then flash this more recent version of AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45539481&postcount=223

You're flashing TouchWiz recoveries, that's why it won't work. Flash an ICS AOSP kernel.

OK so I looked over at rwilco12. Which one should I use,aokp fe22 one click or tar. Aosp ff02 tar, times infinity twrp repack..there's a few different ones. Can I use mobile Odin or should I use my PC.
The only ics aokp recovery I see over there is times infinity.I tried chris41,calkulin, rogue,agat63..these wouldn'twork and I used my PC
I use the recovery kernels right ?

I saw a couple on @rwilco's site that said AOKP in the title (I would try those first), however I never used any ICS AOSP ROMs on this device as it had 4.2.2 when I moved over.
Try to flash Chris41g CWM6 recovery. (I'd post a link but, I don't have over 10 posts.) Should be located in @rwilco's site under CM9 kernels. It probably won't boot but you will have a recovery that should be able to flash any AOSP JB ROM.

Where you running a different ROM before 4.3 rooted? Rebooting can be caused by several things like dirty flashing or not wiping correctly.

The only true way to fix this is to learn to pull a logcat. Then get the dev to see if he can figure out what's going on. Since its a rebooting issue, logcat apps are useless. You have to use ADB from a computer, and issue commands so the computer will record logcats throughout the rebooting process. I would try a clean wipe, fresh install 1st.
