I recently got a Epic 4G Touch from a friend who was upgrading. After messing around with it, I decided to try get CyanogenMod running on it. To make a long story short, I can no longer get the phone to boot, but I do have access to the AGAT custom recovery. I know I could use OdinExecution, but the phone is no longer recognized by Windows when plugging in USB - probably after flashing the kernel.
My question is what should I do from here? The only other way to get data onto the phone would be microSD, unless I can get USB working (I doubt). I was pretty foolish to go into this without more reading, and for that I apologize.

If you can get into recovery, I would try going here and flashing one of the zips found there.

If by chance you can get into download mode and if the links are not working you can always use this

Thanks for the reply,
I managed to get a custom ROM installed, so at least I'm able to use the phone. Now I need to figure out how to get USB working again. I took a snapshot of the device screen:

Is there perhaps a compatible kernel I can try?

You [and all cdma variants (like me even)] will have to wait for kernel development as alquez states in his OP of that thread.
or
Restore your nandroid backup of stock (easiest fix).

Hope it comes soon...I forgot to make a backup before i went to cm7....however I do have a second Wildfire S thats rooted but for some reason i cant get into recovery to back up that ROM....it gets stuck on the white HTC screen....any ideas?
ideas
Can you boot to hboot [on second phone]? If not you are either semi-bricked or bricked. Still assuming you cannot get into hboot, go download the htc sync drivers, set up your environment [Google has a guide that walks you through it], then with the phone connected to your computer [and on] type "adb devices" If you get a return that looks like a short serial, it can be fixed... If no devices found... well, it will take someone smarter than me If you can boot to hboot, it can be fixed no problemo... Hit me back with results [via pm] I can't follow every thread I respond to.
Regards,
Rob
PS it sounds like the 2nd phone has had either a bad recovery or wrong boot.img flashed to it w/o knowing more
I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

For future use, NEVER, EVER remove the USB while flashing. Unless you wait at least an hour and nothing happens. Had it been flashing the recovery/bootloader right then you may have bricked your device.
Also, while flashing it may appear to hang. It isn't always the case.

Hi guys, I've been scouring Google for 3 days now and can't come up with an answer, everything says use Odin for this and use Odin for that... well I can't.
A few days ago I downloaded an app from the Google store Linuxonandriod or something like that, it's pretty much an installer to place Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android, the instructions began with rooting the phone, I began that process and believe I accidently loaded the incorrect pda to the phone (I have so many files now on my comp, I have no clue which one I selected). Odin rebooted the phone and that's that.
If I try to turn on the phone it goes to the first screen that just says SAMSUNG then turns off, never getting to the Samsung Galaxy III screen. The USB on the phone seems to have been botched, none of my computers will recognize it (Windows or Linux), the phone will not even charge. I can however get into both recovery and download modes without problem.
Naturally, download mode does no good because the USB is useless and I do not have clockwork mod installed on the phone to bypass the verification error.
I tried to simply install clockwork via recovery in hopes that would do something, but I get a verification error with that.
Is there anyway around this using the SD card or am I holding a $300 paperweight?
Thanks

Thanks, for the link. I did check it out, but couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about with drive letters and such. That dmesg | tail told me nothing about my sd. I unzipped everything to the card by a different method but my the computer still wouldn't recognize the phone, so booting back into windows did nothing.
Sorry for the delay in response, I've been extremely busy with work.
I'm still at a total loss on this.
Hey Guys,
A few days ago, i successfully flashed CM 11 and One+ One Conversion kit and it worked fine. But i realized it's not for me so i wanted to go back to stock 4.4.2.
I got my GNote 2 on download mode and hooked it up on Odin. I also have the Stock 4.4.2 firmware. However, it doesn't seem to be doing anything and it's just stuck on sboot.bin

have u tryied to make full wipe ( data , cache , dalvik ) from any recovery before u start? give it a shot
Hi Sir, Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what i did before flashing the stock firmware.
ooops forgot to reply. I actually fixed it, the problem is the USB port. Just needed to use another PC, or you can also try different ports incase you encounter this problem.
