Hi, im on the DK28 version of froyo, i cant update to ec05 because the phone will no longer mount to any pc, i have tried multiple pc's and multiple cords and cannot get the phone to mount.
When i try to flash the an update.zip other than the dk28 version i get errors. The phone used to have root but when i reflashed DK28 thinking it would fix the sd card issue, i lost root. I cant 0ne click it, i cant odin a rom. It left the Superuser application behind (Which I cant uninstall). Also I tried a wipe data/factory. When i try updating to EC05 i was getting an error 2. Basically im completely stuck on DK28.
At the very least i need to get the superuser application off the phone so i can return it since i believe the mounting issue is a hardware failure.
Does anyone have an update.zip that will not give me a signature error? Or have something i can try to get this fixed enough to return it to sprint.
I am on my phone so can't search for you right now but you are looking for that Samsung.exe file whichb was an Odin-like executable with EB13 stock files. I can look tonight if someone doesn't give you a link before then.

That sounds like i would have to run the file from a pc, which at the moment, no pc is seeing this phone in either download mode nor via odin, one click or just plain ole mounting.

Unfortunatly ive tried 3 different cables as well as different computers and different usb ports on each one of them. What i need is a Non-pc involved solution for this. I can live without mounting the phone to the pc, if i could just get upgraded to Sprints official EC05 rom. I know it has its problems, but at least it wont lock me out of ota like DK28 has, and then i can at least take the phone bak to the store at my liesure.
Have you tried removing and reinserting the SD card? When you 3 finger the phone you only get stock recovery? Does the charge light come on with the data cable in the USB port?

Have you tried toggling the USB debugging mode? Also try download mode (power on holding "1" key) then see if Odin recognizes your phone.

yes to both. odin does not see the phone. Im certain that its a hardware problem at this point, which is why im looking for an update zip i can manually put on the card that will let me flash ec05 on to the phone and erase super user. at the very least i want to remove super user.

I thought the sd cards won't mount? If they do then it will have to be a signed update zip that doesn't check for the stock apps and previous modem version.

Im Sorry i should have clarified this. The phone can see the SD cards just fine..Internally. But when i connect a cable (any cable, i have 4) to the pc (any pc, i tried on 3 dif pc's one xp, two windows 7), i cannot see the cards from the PC, odin does not see the phone, etc, basically interfacing between the 2 is nil. I am currently taking the micro sd card out of the phone, putting it into a usb adaptor and copying files to it from the pc that way, then returning the card to the phone in order to try to update it. My problem is, i need a Rom that will update without trying to verify the signature since it thinks my phone is rooted, even though it isnt anymore. At this point i wouldnt even mind a wipe since i did that yesterday anyway, just going back to DK28 Stock. Problem with Dk28 is it doesnt allow the OTA of Ec05 to come in.

Look further in the thread to see if someone put up a signed version. Amend2edify will create a signed zip, it may convert the one you downloaded. I found that thread by googling "update.zip for dk28 samsung epic" there were a lot more results I didn't check out.

So, I downloaded SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe
Before starting, I made sure all drivers were installed first. After driver install, I connected with USB debugging on and off, in both MTP and PTP, just to make sure windows would have no trouble identifying the device. All went well.
I then extracted SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick.exe, right clicked on it, and ran it as administrator (just in case).
My phone went into download mode just fine. I connected the USB cable, and it showed up in ODIN.
I hit start.

I'd check and verify md5 of the one click to make sure you have a good download of the file first.
You can get that here.
If you can match the md5 (it will be listed under the link you downloaded it from sfhubs thread), then try a different cable.
This guys does a great job of explaining things, I HIGHLY recommend his videos.

MD5 check passed so I think it's your cable.
Are you using the Sammy cable or a different one?
MD5 was good.
The cable I'm using is a Samsung cable, but I'm pretty sure it's the one that came with my old phone, an S1. The one that came with my touch is at home. I'll try the other USB cable when I get out of work.
Thanks to all of you for being so helpful. It is much appreciated.
I used the cable that came with the phone, and it worked great. Thanks to all of you for your help and patience.

Please use the cable that came with the phone, I learned 1st hand about using the improper cable.My phone and PC's sometimes disconnect.Even my phone will stop charging. It happened while going back to el26.Just a passing word of advice and caution.
Hello everyone,
I've searched around the forums but have yet to come across anyone with my exact set of problems.
Phone is a Samsung t999v on the Wind network.
I believe the problem started when a restore was done from a back up with no system information. TWRP tells me there is no OS on the phone.
As there isn't an OS zip file on the hard drive I cannot flash from internal card.
Odin 3.04 fails to add tar file of stock rom after repeated attempts.
drivers will not load with G s3 toolkit allowing phone to be recognized.
Connecting the phone to PC while in TWRP or even in download mode and the PC (Windows 7 ultimate wink wink) will show in devices as a modem but doesn't show up in "my computer". Drivers failed to load is the message after connecting the phone.
Last working OS was the latest AOKP build two.
I hoping someone can help me out. I do feel that this information is probably on here somewhere but I've searched with no luck.
I really trying to get an OS onto this phone and hope I haven't screw it up for a friend of mine. These forums have helped do some good works with my phone and phones of my friends that I guess I ended up thinking I knew more than I did. I should have stock with clockworkr which didn't have the option to back up without system. safer for a dummy.
I appreciate any and all comments.

Yes I can download them from the website but at times the device is still not recognized. For some reason this happens with all my Samsung products. My PC often time does not recognize them. It started months ago with my 10.1 Tab and them my i727 and this t999v. I have to contect the usb and disconnect several time before they'll connect even changing ports. But now they don't connect at all.
Since you have twrp, why don't you just flash a ROM?

Uninstall the drivers you have installed (the Samsung ones) and uninstall Kies if you have that installed.
Install the drivers from my signature. They are an older version. I use them because all of the newer ones do exactly what you are describing. The PC won't see the device, etc.
If all else fails buy a card reader. One of the 10+ in 1 sd card readers. Probably should have one of those anyway; just a thought.

Thanks for the advise. I'm going to go grab a micro sd reader now, hopefully. The drivers from your signature didn't fail to install as well. Can anyone think of what the source of the issue is. My drivers failing to install is happening on both of my PC's. I didn't try to install the older drivers on my second pc however.

You can download the ROM on another phone and transfer it to an SD card, after that you can swap it to the one with no os and flash it

I have the same problem with my phone being recognized. I will sit there and plug and unplug the cable into the same usb port repeatedly, and eventually it'll be recognized.

I followed all the steps exactly and the problem still persists. KIES fails at installing drivers and same happens when I connect the phone. The only place I can there being an error was that I replaced and copied the files in Windows INF as the new files had the same names as the old ones. As for that everything else I followed the steps exactly with no luck.

What recovery are you using to try and read the SD card?
I just inherited a t-mobile phone that was rooted. I installed the latest version of TWRP and tried to re-root it but now it's in a boot loop and on top of that I can't connect the phone to a computer b/c I get the "USB Device Not Recognized" message. I've re-installed the drivers and I've tried the toothpick trick. Nothing is working. What are my options?

First, I believe this is the correct section - the phone I am working with is a T-Mobile Galaxy S II... Second, I can't Odin because I don't have a working usb connection. I've tried several different ROMS from this fine section and I get the same result... Boot Loop
If you flashed TWRP 2.6.3, that's your problem.
Flash 2.6.1
This is the wrong section because it has nothing to do with ROM development.
With that being said if you can still boot into twrp you still have hope. Try loading a different ROM into an SD card using a converter and slide back in the phone to properly wipe first then re flash.
I don't understand why you can't get a proper USB connection going but above suggestion may solve it.

Just to confirm a few things: where do you not have the working USB connection? in download mode? If so, I'd try reinstalling the drivers.
Also, I see in your sig that you state your phones are:
Asus Nexus 7
Sprint Galaxy Note 2
Neither of which is a SGH-T989. Are you sure you are flashing the correct ROM/Kernel for your device?
also you said it came rooted but you re-rooted it. What process did you use to re-root it?
One last thing: you say you got it second hand, are you sure it is a T-Mobile galaxy S 2? May want to check under the battery for a "T989" or "i9100". The i9100 is NOT a T-Mobile galaxy S 2. It should be SGH-T989 if they didn't give you incorect info about the phone.
You could also try a different USB cable or hub. I've had USB extension cables give me grief and the front ports on my PC don't like my phone.

If u go to the dev section on this phone and look around a bit, u will find the twrp thread, in that thread is a flashabke copy of 2.6.1.0, if u can't find it pm me, I have a copy, all u would need to do is put the zip file on any micro SD card then put it in the phone and flash it with the twrp u have now, it will revert it back to 2.6.1.0 and that should fix ur prob, but like I said of u can't find it pm me and I'll shoot u a copy

Let it sit on the TeamWin screen for a minute or so... I find it sometimes takes a little bit.
If it doesn't ever get past there, try hooking it up to a PC and see if you can get ADB to load (presuming you have ADB installed and ADB drivers installed). If you can, try to do an "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" and a "adb logcat > logcat.txt" and zip those up and toss them on here.
If you CAN'T get into adb, I would try hooking the phone up to Kies and see if it will do anything for you.
Or you could try following this guide as you have the T-Mobile SGH-T989 (not the Telus SGH-T989D):

BUT make sure to grab the correct stock image file for whatever version your android currently is (ie if you are on Android 2.3.6, then make sure to get the T-mobile KL1 2.3.6 stock image).
Also, what ROM did you flash? was it a 4.3 ROM? If so, did you update your radio before you flashed the ROM? I think 4.1+ needs the updated radio to function properly.
I know you said you can't connect through ODIN, but I'm hoping it is because of some odd driver or odd ODIN version. That thread has the stuff to make it all work I believe.
I'm really hoping you can get ADB to work. If you can pull a logcat of your bootup process, it will be much easier to figure out what went wrong.

You guys are great!!! I really appreciate all the help. No matter what I do, ADB, Kies, different cables, different computers, nothing gets past the "USB Device Not Recognized" pop up. I let it sit for 15 minutes, twice. Still no love... I loaded TWRP_2.6.1.0_Hercules and then reboot and that's when it got stuck. Prior to that I had loaded TMobileT989UVMC6RootedDeodexed Rom. I forget where I got it. I'm pretty sure it was a 4.1.2 based rom.

weird... I am not sure why it is being so fussy with your phone.
Hopefully somebody has a better suggestion than I do, but my next thought is to try ebay-ing the phone in hopes that somebody gives you a few bucks for it. It sounds to me like the internal memory module is dying and the USB port is shot.
Is your water damage sticker pink/red or missing? It should be under the battery.
I hate thinking that the phone is just dead, but without being able to connect it to the PC in either recovery or download mode and not being able to boot into a ROM or recovery, I think the next step is to scrap it and hope somebody can send you a few bucks... or if you have experience soldering, maybe try replacing the USB connector?
I could be wrong mind you... The only time I had issues like that it was due to a badly flashed recovery and I needed to use ODIN to get back up and running. As a thought, do you have a Windows XP 32-bit computer you could try plugging the phone into? And while the phone is plugged in, can you check device manager for all devices? maybe try installing the drivers manually? I suggest windows XP 32bit because that is what I use the majority of the time with my phone. I've also used Windows 7 64-bit and it worked.

Thanks again for your time and suggestions... I've always been very impressed with the xda community. I actually got this phone, used, from Swappa. And I am in the process of returning it for a refund. But the seller is being difficult and is trying to stick me with the phone. I was just trying to salvage it on my own, just in case... Thanks again.

that sucks. I've heard good things about Swappa, but living in Canada I can't use it. My opinion it sounds like you got a dud and based on how hard the guy is fighting to not give you a refund, I wouldn't be surprised if he knew it was doa and just fluked out and get it running before he sold it. Or maybe it got water damaged and he knew it would fail soon so he sold it before it completely quit.
I hope you get it all sorted out.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

SOLVED: see post #5 & #8
I've been trying to root my T807T and everyone with one on the forums here has reported that all T805 stuff works just fine on it.
I have installed USB drivers, USB Debugging set to on. Been using Odin 3.07 as well as 3.09.
I tried multiple USB ports and two computers and a whole lot of different wires (including original ones).
I disabled my Anti-virus and do not have Kies installed.
I am not a newbie to flashing and have been rooting Samsungs since the first Galaxy S Vibrant all those years ago. I have never seen anything like this.
Everything I try to flash in Odin comes up with FAIL! after about halfway through flashing. I can restart my tablet and everything works fine, but this is making it impossible to root.
FAIL occurs right after "NAND Write"
Any/all help is very much appreciated. If anyone is NYC local and can give it a shot, that'd be great.
Thanks everyone.
I would suggest taking a look at this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54393309
Install kies and reinstall drivers with kies probably would help?

I would uninstall the drivers and try to install the drivers from kies. Other than that, Im not sure why it wouldnt work.
I have been digging a lot on the issue. Of course I haven't been able to find a whole lot other then it appears 95 percent of these nand write issues are with samsung devices. Make sure that in settings>general>security reactivation lock is OFF. Also try removing your SIM card and the SD card if you have one. Then proceed to flash. We have the exact same model, firmware, build, etc etc. I can't think of a logical reason why it won't work. I'd be inclined to believe it's a communication issue between tablet and computer at this point. Completely stumped on this one however I will keep digging for you.

Does your tar have .md5 at the end of the filename? I think it should fail earlier if this is the problem but maybe its not being properly verified? Its just a shot in the dark but try removing the .md5 if its there and just flash the straight .tar file. Or retry download maybe you got a corrupt copy.

HAHAHAHA BINGO!!!!
woooo!
cfautoroot: BAM! worked first try.
everybody dance.
Thank you very much for this genius tidbit. I must've enabled it the first day I got the tablet and forgot all about it as It's never been an option on any of my other devices.
Huge thanks to both of you guys for bending over backwards trying to find a solution as to why the flashing wasn't working. Now we know.
Pretty clever of Samsung to hide an Odin flash lockout switch within the actual OS (as opposed to recovery).
