Recently, when trying to flash a CM rom on my Epic4gTouch, something went wrong and I now have the 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.' error. Knowing how to fix this, I open up Odin and attempt to flash a stock samsung rom for the phone. I hit start and things seem to be going well. Both progress bar on Odin and on the phone started to progress. Then all of a sudden my phone rebooted! I got the 'removed' message in Odin and the flash failed. It rebooted right back to the same screen as before and now every time I plug the phone in it restarts after around 5 seconds. This makes it almost IMPOSSIBLE to fix my problem!
Yes, I have tried removing the battery for hours and trying again, I have tried different USB ports, two different USB cables, restarted my computer, reinstalled Samsung drivers and nothing works!
I appreciate any help at all! Thanks!!!
EDIT: When holding power and volume down, I get in the upper left corner in red letters: Low battery!! Can not download!! (Even after having it plugged into the wall for around an hour)

hi folks, Well first time asking for help. Had jedi 8 installed and all was good. went to bed and plugged in the phone.
and bam! woke up and the phone wont boot. So those of you that are familiar with jedi rom it happens sometimes and
you just wipe data and restore your data backup per instructions. But here is the problem, it seems as though my twrp
mysteriously vanished by itself also! when i hold both buttons down and power i just get a black screen with the samsung
logo. it wont boot so i am stuck. i can get into download mode but odin will not see the phone tried a couple diff versions
and like six usb cords and all ports no go but when stuck on the boot screen then the computer does see it. any ideas itst mo version
by the way thanx

odin that ish and start from scratch.
be thankful you can boot tho, S2s have a sticky power button issue that renders the phone useless.
Hi all,
Earlier today I was having issues getting an icon pack to work, so I decided to uninstall, then reinstall the application.
I suppose I should have switched my icon pack before uninstalling it, but didn't expect that to create any problems. Well, everything immediately started forceclosing and my phone went into a bootloop.
I proceeded to do a battery pull and attempted to get into recovery. Unfortunately my phone didn't respond.
I can hold down the power button for a whole minute without the phone vibrating even once now. The screen is totally off no matter what I've tried and should I plug the phone into my computer I get a "Device not Recognized" error.
No charging icon when plugged in either.
I also tried using Wugfresh to reinstall drivers- so far no luck.
Does anyone have any advice? Or is it time to start looking for a new phone?
Thanks all.
(If it matters, this is a GSM Galaxy Nexus which was running the latest PA. Stock kernel, no OC/UV.)

Edit: Nevermind. My JIG got my into download mode, and now recovery. That fixed it!
Other than being rooted my N7105 was stock before I decided to install CM via the Windows Installer. It failed once so I restarted the device and computer on the programs suggestion. Second time it seemed to be installing fine getting past the installing recovery step before I left the room. On my return it had failed again and suggested I try a different USB port or computer and the install would pick up right where it left off.
Except it hasn't.
The Installer isn't even detecting my device anymore. I'm stuck with a little blue fellow on my screen. Rebooting just brings me back to the same screen and when I remove the battery the phone reboots as soon as I replace it. I can boot into download mode but trying to boot into recovery just brings me back to the blue dude.
I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried using a Toolkit but get stuck at the "Waiting for USB debugging to be turned on" part. I've looked at Heimdall but aren't really sure where to start or if it could even help.
Any suggestions?

try to flash stock ROM using Odin, you might have to try different versions.
Just enter download mode, connect usb and flash
The phone is showing black screen after i flashed exitrecovery.zip file since i got stuck into a recovery bootloop and right after when i pressed reboot button in twrp phone died. Have i got the phone hard bricked?? :crying:
What i have tried so far is pressing various keys combination and nothing is happening, tried to get into download mode but right after putting the usb cable connected with pc into phone it gives a notification sound but doesn't shows anything on phone screen :crying:
I also tried to flash the stock rom with lg flash tool 2014 with kdz file but it reaches to a point in the beginning and it gives an error message that the "phone isnt connected pull out the cable and retry" and after pressing retry few times it gets stuck at 60%
Please help, is there a way to get out of this :crying:
When something similar happened to my Galaxy S4, I charged it to 100% first. Then I tried flashing the stock image back to it twice. The first time did not seem as if it completed. Second time was the charm. I know the phones are different but the symptoms are identical.

ok let me try it out, please stay in touch?
Hey guys, I could REALLY use some help with this. So i had my tablet Rooted. Then after a while my google play store wouldn't respond and I couldn't update any apps. So I decided to revert back to stock firmware. This was the file I had used.
(T800XXU1BOJ1_T800XAR1BOJ1_HOME.tar.md5)
I have the Tab S 10.5 bronze.
So I installed it with Odin and I noticed on Odin it said (Succeeded 0/ Failed 0) and the tablet didn't reboot itself. so I thought okay... it must not have worked. Let me reboot the tablet myself. Mind you the screen on the tablet was still in Odin (Download) Mode. After I reboot it, it went into the same bootloop with the TEAMWIN icon popping up over and over again. So I reboot it again to try and put back into download mode. Well it wouldn't. It just popped up with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Icon and kept repeating that spot. So once again I turned it off to try and get it into Odin mode, and now it wont turn on at all.
Okay. As i was typing this, i have the tablet connected to the computer and it just randomly turned itself on and now its in the TEAMWIN bootloop again. I don't wanna touch it until I get someones opinion on what to do next...
AWESOME it bootlooped itself again but this time when the samsung logo popped up I held the volume button and got it into Odin Mode! now.... what to do next? I dont want to try the same Stock FIrmware. Idk if it was the problem or not.
alright so here is what I just did..
The tablet rebooted itself while I was typing that message while it was plugged into the PC. It turned itself on but when it was at the Samsung Logo I quickly pressed the Volume button and had gotten it into Odin Mode. I disconnected it from the PC, loaded up the Stock firmware from the first post. Plugged in the Tablet while it was in the Downloading Odin Mode. Hit start on Odin and it did the rest. Now the issue is it reboot, samsung logos popped up and went away. the Samsung logo with the little blips of light/stars around it came up. then it said Installing Applications with a loading bar. That lasted about 2 seconds then went back to the samsung logo with the stars. Then the tablet shut off and now i cant get it back on again.....
Hold POWER + VOL DOWN
Yeah. I know that. That's how I got it into Odin mode.. Thanks for four word incredibly helpful post...
Are you sure you downloaded the correct software for your device? You could try another region's firnware or re-download the one you used.
Since you still see the Teamwin icon I guess it didn't install the firmware correctly or all of it since your recovery should be the stock one again after flashing. Or did you remove items from the .tar file you try to flash?
