I think i bricked my epic.

I was angry at my current rom which was on MTD so i decided just to you the old samsung "phone flash utility" (Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe) that was uploaded on their site like a year ago to go back to stock. well i think since the phone was MTD it didnt work and now its stock at the connect cable screen, is there anything i can do?

I am running CleanGB MTD. The first time I tried to install it I had a bad download & needed to redo it from scratch. I used the Samsung EB13 Windows Installer utility to restore my phone back to stock & had no problems at all. It was up & running on MTD just had a few errors that I did not have time to fix that morning & I ran it for a few days after restoring with the utility, rooting, & restoring my backup. But now I'm enjoying the MTD goodness.....
Can you get back into download mode?
If so I would get a different USB cable & try running the installer again.

from what ive been reading on the threads, i believe you can just odin back, and back sure you have reboot and re-partition checked marked.

I found out what the problem was. I should have known this because this happened to me once before. I was using my front USB ports. Front ports on most pc's are only 1.0 and you need to use the back 2.0 ones to work. Most people think its cable issues but its usually just USB port. This samsung utility is a complete gem! screw odin. thanks for the response!!!

Good to hear!!

thanks guys. Yeah ive been using that sammy file since ec05 came out. this is the 3rd brick maybe 4th it got me out of. it works for EVERYTHING. better than odin.

Wow, I didn't know this exe thing existed. Odin has NOT been working on my home PC for tje past few weeks(months?) and that has kept me from trying anything that would require Odin to recover from, i.e. mtd.
Glad I read here in the Q&A pretty regularly. Most of the time I'm seeing if there's anyone I can help, but times like this I end up learning new things.

I am at work so I cannot post the file I have, but I put the file name in & searched in Google & several download options popped up.
Google Search: Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe
Check it out & let me know if you need me to post a copy of the file, I saw several already on services like multiupload in the search.

Look at the thread stickied in development. The Samsung tool won't work all the time.

So my friend gave me his phone to see if I could fix it. It loops in CWM and won't get out of it and I can't connect with odin to it. (My phone connects just fine.) This is the only other thing I can think of. Anyone else got other ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------
Well tried it and phone still not discovered by the PC. I am at a loss at what to do. I know my friend tried to install some type of rom to it and didn't make a backup. It boots in to CWM non-stop and I can flash zips but it never leaves that loop even after the flashes. I can boot into Download mode but the phone won't be recognized. Tried both Odin and this. The phone is getting charged through the cable though which confuses me even more. Any help?!

Anyone have any ideas?! I am at a loss at what to do!

Use a different cable with odin... it may be charging it but its not getting a data connection... also put into download mode and plug in usb... then "jiggle" the cord until it recognizes it...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Then also try Odin with the battery and phone plugged in. Make sure you use a better cable than stock.

Device is soft bricked. Can get into download. What next?

I was running the ICS leaked release and decided to try another ROM. I think my mistake was that I didn't flash a custom recovery like Rogue's and just threw the ROM on my SD, went into the stock recovery that came with the ICS leaked ROM, ran Calkulin's wipe and flashed the ROM.
The phone won't boot up. I can get into Download Mode but I don't know where I can download a stock tar to flash in ODIN 1.85. If I try and go to the stock recovery it doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.
***EDIT***
It's still stuck at the data.img portion of the process (end process). It's probably not going far from there.
I can't get into the stock recovery but it does allow the download mode still.

That really sound like you don't have the drivers quite right. When you open the regular odin, and your phone is in download mode, does a yellow box on odin show up? If not its the drivers.

Then the one click should work just fine. Make sure you follow his instructions to the T. Also on his page he has some drivers, you should install those, it uninstall or over write the old ones. Just to be sure.

Thanks. It looks like it's working now. It's installing right now and then we shall see but I'm pretty sure it'll work. I'll leave it stock for now until ICS comes out. I'm so buy working on my new car that I barely have time to geek out anymore on my phone.

Don't try to flash anything with stock recovery ...it has to be officially signed by Samsung ...won't work

It didn't work. Last night I went to run the EL29 Restore - Rooted and it got stuck on the data.img portion. The progress bar on the phone and computer just hung there. I disconnected the cable and went to bed (after 1.5 hours of it just sitting there stuck).
I'm trying it again today and lets see if it gets stuck.
I'm reflashing EL29 over the FB21 (w/e the leaked version of ICS was) I had. Is that the issue?

Sorry but I think your bricked. There is a "Stuck at Data.img" thread here in q&a.
The issue still isn't repairable.
The way you went about getting stuck here is a little different tho. So hopefully I'm wrong.
Good luck

Are you stuck in a bootloop? If so, do you get any further than the Samsung splash screen?
Try re-flashing the ICS leak. I read somewhere that it could be a filesystem issue with switching to and from GB. If that doesn't work, maybe you'll have better luck with using ODIN as opposed to the one-click method. You'll find the tars here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391732
In most cases you'll be flashing them in PDA, but read everything closely, and follow the steps.
If you have insurance, I almost suggest going to Sprint while it still seems there's no evidence you've been flashing (yellow triangle), as they'll likely just replace it for you.
If none of that works, then it sounds like a rare problem that happened to mine a few months ago. This was the only thread I found at that time, but it was for AT&T's GSII.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20834412#post20834412
I ended up getting a new one, but I would love to finally find a solution since I still have it. Pretty much the only thing I haven't tried is a JTAG service.

If I turn on the phone I get a screen that says
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I don't get to the point where it even shows me a Samsung logo; just straight to that screen.

I'm reading it now. I want to add that it was CWM touch that messed up my phone because I had flashed that before attempting to flash another ROM since ICS build came with the default factory recovery. So I'm guessing my file system is corrupt. I'll keep reading through the thread. (I skipped to the last couple of pages.

Hey so can you still get into download mode? I ran into the same problem where it kept getting stuck in odin. Try a different usb cable and a different port. Odin is very fussy with usb cables. When I had the trouble I was using a Logitech usb cable. Switched to the one that came with my phone and it worked like a charm.

I'm using the one that came with the phone and I tried different ports. I don't have another cable to use but I doubt that will help me out. Thanks for the suggestions though.

I didnt think it was possible that a simple cable swap would help me when I was in the exact same position as you either but it sure did. What could it hurt to just try a different cable? I am sure you could borrow one from a friend just to try it. According to qbking77 samsung cables are pretty bad when it comes to using odin.

Hardware ID Missing after rooting......

Hello.
I used the Toolkit to root my Note 2, and I had to use option 4 on the rooting menu, Install Custom Recovery, Install via Recovery to get it to work. I tried several times via the Odin tool and Twrp recovery, and the phone kept booting into Android Recovery instead of Twrp recovery.
I finally used Odin to flash back to stock ROM that I got here, but, along the way, even though the Toolkit was able to connect to my Note 2, I get the Hardware ID missing, and I cannot connect to it any longer like I could after I installed the initial drivers.
Anything I can do and stay rooted?

Change usb ports or restart your device. Mine did it last night and I fixed it by doing both..

I have the same problem.
Changing ports and restarting in most cases didn't help and only in few cases I managed to access files on the phone via USB.
Any other suggestion how to solve this?

don't use windows..

I was able to gain root back using the toolkit. I flashed stock rom image I believe the ROM from the factory then flashed back stock recovery. Went back in after I updated and re-rooted to flash the triangle away. Now I need to unroot and after speaking with Sprint Rep on phone and trying a few things they advised me to take it to store to let them try it. I believe ALL of my problems started when I tried to use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the latest update to LJC (should I have been on stock recovery?). It started to flash then stopped and went into CWM recovery which is the recovery that the toolkit flashed. I for some strange reason was going to flash the update from there except I didn't have it in the right place on my sd card (couldn't access it GOD I'm a Dumbass!). God help me cause I'm too stupid to even understand what side loading is let alone how to do it. If some kind soul would take pity on me and pm me I could get a handle on the differences between HTC and Samsung. Anyway need to unroot now. Oh I keep seeing in the flash counter saying 1 but I'm on stock rom with stock kernel and stock recovery how do I get it to zero. Using triangle away. Anyway to check counter with stock recovery?
OH yeah does anyone keep getting "Internal Error Code 1500" in addition to the hardware id is missing?
Thanks to everyone that takes time to help idiots like me. I promise I CAN learn.

Thank you...Unlike user: dstenc, the above procedure fixed my issue. As has been the case many times, XDA helpful users to the rescue!
:laugh: :good:

Just to report that for now I've found woraround. I've installed old drivers 1.4.103.0 and now both Kies and file access works.
Still looking for final solution with latest drivers.

Could you walk me through your fix?

I don't remember link. I googled so you might try that way.
Just FYI, even with older drivers I have sporadic Hardware ID Missing error, but far too less than with the latest version.

I'm posting this to keep it to the top of this board.
This is my second Note 2 in 2 weeks. I returned the first one because it stated Hardware ID missing, so within my first 2 weeks Sprint gave me a new one thinking that it was my phone. While at the Sprint store, and not yet rooted, we installed the unit and removed the unit 15 times to see if we could get it to have the Missing Hardware ID to pop up, it DIDN'T pop up once, so I thought I was good to go.
I came home and did the common root method that uses Galaxy Note 2 Toolbox. I IMMEDIATELY started getting the Missing Hardware ID again.
So now that we have it localized, what could be missing or creating a problem from the root procedure from the Galaxy Note Toolbox 2???
What I find really strange is that many are not experiencing this problem or they are just living with it.
I even tried the USB Switcher that appeared to install and does switch between Mass Storage and MTP, but although my PC makes the upward noise that sounds like it is installing and recognizing the USB Mass Storage, it doesn't end up recognizing it. It was ZATTA's build but he said it didn't work for his Galaxy 3 or Note 2 either.
Will anyone find a cure????
This will be no fun to have to deal with for the next 2 years.
Chime in PLEASE!!!!!! Even if it's only to insult me, I don't care if you have a cure.
Regards
Dave

if you do Google search, it's a known issue. From what I read, it's a driver issue. Some have had luck using the older Samsung USB drivers. You have downloand them, and install, and have your PC completely disconnected from the internet before plugging in your GN2 after the install. Appaarently the drivers on Microsoft's servers are bad; may be the wrong device.
I've done this, and still have the issue. I just find I don't have plug and unplug the USB cable as much.
What I have seen, the PC does connect to the GN2. It just doesn't recognize it as a storage device. It wants to use it as a modem, probably from the tethering capabilities with a USB OTG cable.
It may not be so much that it's not wide spread, but more that not everyone uses the GN2 as storage device or connects it their PC.

I dont think this is all due to Windows issue. This is what i notice before and after root.
If you have restore to Original Stock ROM, you will notice that your device doesnt encounter this issue.
If you have rooted your device Custom ROM or Flash CMW (this resulted as Binary Counter increased), you would have Hardware Missing Id issue. Somehow the MTP is not working.
If you have Flash your device with a pre rooted stock rom, there is no issue at all until you flash CMW where flashing increase counter.
How i notice this, i have root/unroot my device like 20 times since i got my device.
The issue is here is more of where Binary Counter Increase, in Windows 7 you would face Hardware ID Missing issue. Restart and connect to other USB port will not work.
Some how we need to no let the Binary Counter changed and Triangle Away is only useful if you want to return you device to original state.

Yep I think you may be on to something. Because when I rooted I tried both TWRP and CWM and then I had to go back to stock to get to apply the LJC update. Ever since I have had the chameleon error and Handsfree activation issues. Oh my counter always says 1 and I can't remove it with triangle away. I think it says custom binary yes and the counter says 1. I am using a laptop with Windows 7 and it now recognizes the device just can't stop the errors on start up.

[Q] Root the unrooted Note 2 N7100

Hi,
I have rooted by Note 2 N7100 in the past using the ODIN tool and CWM. But I had issues with some apps that were being closed at random etc. So I got tired and unrooted. But now I wanted to root it again using the ODIN. But ODIN is not able to detect my phone at all.
Please someone help me. Now that my note 2 got the 4.3, it is bloated with all kinds of crap from Samsung. I need to root to remove all the crap.
Thanks n Regards,

It can't be the issue with the cable as I am able to use the cable for other things like backups and moving data from phone to PC etc. The issue with the Factory reset is that i dont have a spare phone at the moment. So if this device screws i am dead without a mobile to use.
Let me search some more and if I can find a solution i will post it here. Else I am going for the Cyanogenmod installer. I am tired of this.

BootLoop problems

Hi, I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active and while updating, it went into a bootloop. I cant boot into recovery, odin fails to flash the stock rom, and all I get when booting is:
SAMSUNG
Galaxy S7 Active
Powered By
android
screen. It doesn't even go to that, all it does is boots into recovery. I don't want to send it out for repairs (Mostly because I am broke).
If also, may I get answers from people that own one and been in this problem before and/or people that know how to repair this issue.
Also, I can only use the Stock Recovery.
Thanks, Nysean01'
Edit: I have also been to this. It was no help what so ever and got me deeper to this point in the post.
Edit 2: I have a backup phone and that one is currently working. I still wanna keep using my newer one.

which rom/version was you on?
which you trying to get to?
which ones have you tried in odin?
are you loading all the files ?
does it say it completes successfully ?

Yes, I'm loading all the files
Nope. It says in red, FAIL.

then i would guess that the file is currupt, or maybe the cable is dodge...
but which version was you on before (QB2) and which you tried so far ? (QD4 ?)

I was running the latest version of everything. 7.0 for phone, 10 for computer, and a mod odin.

Try a different Odin package, an older stock ROM and a different cable.

Which ones would you recommend?

Odin 3.12.4 and PI2, that is the earliest on BL2, try that, and if it works you should be able to OTA back up.

Mark as closed. I took it to the store, and even they said that they cant do nothing about it. So, Since I had the warranty (didn't know, was a hand me down), Samsung is sending me a new phone.

I have the same problem, got stuck on Nand writel. Already try different odin versions, I was on the last stock room, the problem was that I heva virus and had to do a hard reset, but when I finish got stuck on google verification, after try a lot of times I decided to fls stock room, but I fail.
What I can do it?
