Bricked Epic.. Plz help

Im updating the first post mentioning my observations so that one can read all my post in one place without hassel.
Friends, please help me with my bricked Epic.
My Epic was running on SRF 1.2
For couple of days it went fine.
But yesterday the problem started when I plugged in the Phone on Mass Storage mode. My computer said some erron on SD card and asked me to find and fix any errors.
I formatted the SD card using CWM 3.1.0.1.
Then I decided to go back to Stock EC05 and tired to flash the rom using Odin.
I've done it many times before. so Well aware of the steps needed.
But while flashing the Rom.. Odin hanged on factoryfs.rfs.
So I unplugged and tried again and again. But now the rreal issue start.
My computer do not recognize the phone anymore in download mode
On pressing power on botton or Volume Down+Cam+ power button.. NOTHING HAPPENS.
However I can boot into Download Mode (on battery only).
1) Computer do not recognize USB Drive. (tried uninstalling drivers > rebooting > reinstalling > rebotting ) still USB device not recognized. Even tried with different USB cable. And different ports.
2) However I managed it on my other computer. Where only 1 out of 4 USB port recognize my device.
3) Tried Odin to flash EC05 Stock... It hangs at some place or the other, and screen goes off or some times Solid Cyan (very rare).
4) Phone do not restart in Download mode without battery.
I tried to boot download mode without battery (plugged into computer).. but it wont.
Battery+USB = phone wont boot in download mode.
Phone boots to download mode only on Battery.
After that If i plug in the phone and remove the battery.. screen still stays on.
I went thru many threads but still having same problem.
Please help.
*****************
well after I tried with DI18 rom which was still a failed attempt.

tiny mobile phone -- "!" in a yelow triangle -- tiny computer
******************
When i go to download mode without the battery and try to Odin flash..
after some time it seems like the phone goes off for a second then I see the battery charging logo on the screen (0% batter).
needless to say that odin freezes.
When I plug in the phone with batery in my phone.. battery charging logo appears @ 0%.
charged the batter for 1 hr.. but still the logo shows 0%.
****************
One more info..
When i plug in the device.. 2 drivers are installed... (only 1 of of my USB port of my Desktop). Rest 3 ports.. it dont work. Neither it works on my laptop.
1) SAMSUNG USB Composite Device (USB)
2) SAMSUNG Mobile Modem #2 (Modem)
As far as i remember there used to be another Driver which used to show in Com Port section of Device Management window.
Am i missing any specific drivers?
**************
In another USB port of my desktop when I plug in the phone, it detects only SAMSUNG USB COmposite Device... But fails to detect modem driver.
When I try to flash using ODIN using that port, it stucks at SetupConnection..
yeah, im in search of HTC or BB original cable aswell.

Try a different tar. I prefer dI18. A lot of people have problem on the ec05 tar and odin. Also if you can gt into download mode you are sponged. Not bricked. Hope this helps
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

I just had this problem. I ended up reinstalling the drivers (like you did) and restarted my computer a few times. When that didnt work i got a new usb cable. the new usb cabe didnt work for crap... but then i used the old one and for some reason it just started to work. i also was putting the tar in phone slot, it would start but hang up at that same spot... i had to put it in the pda slot.

yeah i always used PDA slot for tar. pit in pit.
Odin 1.6
victory pit
Re-partition/auto reboot/f. reset time all checked
also tried with: auto reboot checked only
downloading DI18. like notsosmrtgeek suggested.
hope this works.

Tried DI18.
With Victory Pit.
Odin: 1.61
Screen goes White on sbl.bin

well after I tried with DI18 rom which was still a failed attempt.
atleast now when I switch on the phone... i can see a screen with a logo..
tiny mobile phone -- "!" in a yelow triangle -- tiny computer

tried to flash DI18 again with Re-Partition/Auto reboot/F. Reset Checked.
as usual hanged @ sbl.bin
but now when i start my phone i can see Samsung logo.

So if your computer is incapable of recognizing your phone, you are mostly screwed. I would say try a different computer. If that does not work, your last chance is to either make or buy a programming cable. The programming cable will force the recognition of your phone for reasons I do not understand.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
edit:
BTW, you can always use the Samsung Provided Flashing Utility

i just experienced a complete brick yesterday.. led didn't even turn on when plugged in to charge. couldn't boot into download mode. thought i was screwed.
i pulled the battery and the sdcard... let it sit for like 10 minutes. i kept hitting the power button just to clear any residual charge in the system. (i swear, i never got superstitious about electronics until this phone... ok, and the whole blowing in nintendo cartridge thing when i was 5 )
put the battery back in, with sdcard.. WAS ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE -- YES!!!
i used odin1.3 to flash eb13... kept stalling several times (but each time it seemed to go further before stalling and giving me a yellow screen, then a red screen, then a blue screen, etc) so i figure at least i was making progress...
finally i was able to get it all the way through flashing eb13 in odin1.3..
i experienced a lot of similar things as you: computer not "recognizing" my device, the stalling in odin... hope this helps.

Downloading EB13
link to Odin 1.3 plz..?

odin1.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790026
eb13: http://www.multiupload.com/F0JFA0487M
i tried odin1.6 yesterday and that just wasn't working for me, either that or the ec05 tar file was messing me up... but good 'ol trusty Odin1.3 helped me out... note tho that i did have to flash a couple times (each time i went successively further before failure)
good luck!

Here is something new i noticed.
When i go to download mode without the battery and try to Odin flash..
after some time it seems like the phone goes off for a second then I see the battery charging logo on the screen (0% batter).
needless to say that odin freezes.
When I plug in the phone with batery in my phone.. battery charging logo appears @ 0%.
charged the batter for 1 hr.. but still the logo shows 0%.

oh yea, might be a good idea to remove sdcard while flashing in odin just in case

thank you for the link cache.
btw: should i use the same victory pit file with EB13?

use the pit that comes with the odin1.3 download

HTC Logo frozen/ Volume Down + Power frozen

Hello,
yesterday, I bought a HOX. Today, everything went fine but 30 minutesn ago, I switched it off to change to SIM. Now, I would like to start the phone but it only shows the HTC logo. I also tried to use the hard button. It recognizes the combination but I cannot choose anything. I can only see the screen with FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET and so an.
I tried so establish a connection to the computer but also there nothing happens.
I plugged the phone via a USB cable to my laptop - not it shows HBOOT and checking SD card update. Google told me plugged of the cable and it should work. Unfortunately, for me this is not working.
Has anyone an idea what I could do?
I'm looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance.

Gran Duos won't boot, restart on logo but works with usb recent flashed firmware

Hello guys, hope anybody here had this problem and was able to solve it.
I have a GT-I9082L from a friend here.
The phone won't boot, he was using the phone and suddenly it got crazy and started vibrate non stop.
When he tried to turn his phone on, it goes to the samsung initial logo (the one that display the model, at the very start), and reboot. It keeps doing this.
So I decided to flash the stock firmware via Odin, it was sucessful. The phone was working fine while it was with the usb plugged in (right after I flashed the FW).
When I unplugged the USB, the phone restarted and came back to the same problem.
I decided to flash again, same problem. It keeps running just fine but as soon as I remove the usb cable, the same thing happens, reboot and reboot.
I think the phone is not being able to keep the files in the internal storage. Somehow when I unplug the cable, it seems to erase all files inside.
Does anybody had the same problem? Or somthing similar?
What should I do?

Works on any power source
Guys, when I plug any power source it works. I think it is not being able to keep the energy from the battery. But the battery seems to work fine since when I plug it the battery icon shows as charging correctly.

Zenfone 2 does not turn on

Good morning, I have a big problem in my Zenfone 2 and would very much like your help.
Yesterday in the morning he hung up, I thought I had downloaded but I tried to turn it when he called saw the battery was at 50%, I found strange but ok, then the screen locked and the phone started to vibrate and I had to off it. When I called, the battery was at 50%, was saying that the phone was connected and there do not leave sound and saying he was carrying. I thought it might be the rom and turned it on PC to back up and exchange of rom, only the USB no longer recognized the connection to the PC. Was saying that tava carrying, I took the USB and stopped "load" when I called he carried again, just not giving connection to the PC. Anyway I did not back up and changed the rom, he continued the same thing (I was in the AICP (LP) and put the RussiaNBear (LP)).
So I was following a tutorial that I had used before to repair another error (I could not post the tutorial link here, but it's on youtube: (Tutorial - Zenfone 2 unbrick / Restore (ZE551ML / ZE550ML) - In the Droid Will channel)), but I gave soft to do so because the part of the AFT (Asus Flash Tools) it does not recognize the phone, having to disconnect the usb and connect again, and then I screwed me, 'cause the uSB connection was not working. After a few unsuccessful attempts, it seems I agravei even more the situation because now I turn the USB cable pressing volume down and it goes in "Moorefield" and the PC identifies a good, open the xFSTK and can pass the DNX, but when you finish spending DNX the phone should reboot and a screen appears with the symbol of a uSB connection, but that's not what happens. I spend the DNX, the phone restarts and vibrates, there is the xFSTK waiting to pass the OS, but not USB screen appears, the xFSTK does not recognize the phone more in "Moorefield" and I can not do anything else on the device.
I have already connected the phone on another pc, I have changed the cable and nothing. I think it is the mobile usb, if not it would not recognize the first part of xFSTK.
Apologies if I have not posted in the right place, for my English (Google Translate) and the text size, only tried to leave everything well explained so that everyone can understand. Thank you very much, beforehand to help you and I really hope we can solve this problem.
Thank you.

Phone can't connect to pc, bricked

Hi users, recently I wanted to go back form miui pie to oreo using this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/help/how-to-revert-miui-10-pie-to-miui-10-t3940244
I had some problems with flashing, phone got disconnected from pc during fastboot flashing (loose cable) and after reconnecting I couldn't flash anything so I restarted the phone. Now all I've got is black screen (the backlight works but I can't see anything) I can restart the phone when holding power button and doing the combination of power up and vol+, but it's the same. If I connect the phone to pc in this conditon nothing happens, I can't hear any sound indicating that phone is connected, nothing in device manager, I even disconnected the battery and tried the edl pins but it's the same result, pretty weird. Can anyone give me any hint?

Yeah, but the point is, you can connect to pc and flash things and I can't do anything, I suspect my computer fried usb board or something on the motherboard bc it's impossible I can't get qualcomm hs-usb loader 9008.
As it turns out, after rebooting the pc, it doesn't boot anymore. Phone doesn't work and pc. Coincidence? formatting pc was needed (pc works now), could it be a virus or my power supply simply gave too much voltage to the usb? I was doing everything during the storm, y'know, thunders.. I don't know anymore, I tried even connecting to a different pc and the result is the same. I can't do anything on my phone, could it be broken usb board?
EDIT: It connects now in edl, I was shorting the pins incorrectly (can't touch the ground [shielding] while shorting the pins). Pls close this thread.
