So, following qbking77s video perfectly. Im having one issue.

When I boot my phone into DL mode, i see the android picture just fine. But when I plugged my phone into my computer it wouldnt recognize the phone. So I re-booted my phone, restarted it normally without DL mode. Re-plugged it into my computer with the same cable and same USB port, and the computer recognized it just fine.

So, I powered down, put the phone into DL mode again, and the same thing happend.

Ive re-installed Samsung Drivers, tried with no battery with no SD card. Ive tried the spare battery I own. I tried another cable. Ive tried all 3 USB ports in my computer. Ive even tried another Epic 4G phone. Nothing seems to be recognized by my computer while in DL mode.

Now, usually when you plug an external device into my computer it makes a 2-note sound letting me know my computer at least recognized something was plugged into it. However now when I plug the phone into any USB port it makes a different noise. Its 3 of the same sounds/notes and my computer doesnt do anything.

any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Try a different pc?

When you go to re install drivers, choose uninstall.. then try it again without installing drivers
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Either the cable is bad (even though it works for other things) or you are still missing a driver or two. Connect phone to computer with USB debugging on. Now go into control panel>system>device manager. Look under USB connections for Samsung Android. Click it and hit update drivers from Windows Update and let it do it's thing. It should find and load 5 drivers for it to work with Odin. If you still can't get it working try going to Heimdall's site and get that up and running. You will need 7Zip to disassemble tar files into components to load with Heimdall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjs1200x:
So i did the Control Panel>Device Manager>Update, and it said everything was up-to-date.

My question becomes, why would the computer recognize it when in normal mode, but when i switch the phone to DL mode my computer does not recognize the phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It takes a loooooong time to get the CDW? driver. Windows update driver search is real slow. Took my laptop 35 minutes for that one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjs1200x:
i ended up getting it to work, I had to Update the driver with the file from the Galaxy S driver x64 in my computer, while the phone was plugged in DL mode.

But i bricked my phone, i was so happy i got odin to recognize my phone i forgot to uncheck the F. Reset time option and hit Start...

Now the phone wont even turn on haha. gives me a picture of a phone. then a "!" then a computer...

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
There is still hope. Take out the battery and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Leave the battery out and plug the USB into the computer and then hold the "1" key on the keyboard and then press and hold the power button. It should get you back into download mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjs1200x:
oh that worked like a charm. haha..

I plugged it into Odin in DL mode worked great!

except with the option for F. Reset Time now unchecked, it still says failed.

The only thing different i can see is that qbking77 is using the tar file for DI18 and im using EC05

***Edit*** - I tried it again with no battery in...worked Like a Charm. Succesfully on EC05

Thanks for everything qbking77 and kennyglass123
[Epic 4G Android Development] DonToolBag:
Thank you soo very much for this thread. You all saved my life. I bricked my phone in between flashes somehow. It was stuck at the "Samsung" bootup screen, and wouldn't do anything.

Everything worked like a charm - just an FYI that I did need some other drivers for ODIN to detect. It wasn't enough to have just the Samsung drivers, there are some other drivers floating around.

I * think * this was the file:

Samsung_Mobile_Driver_V1.3.800_For_SPH-d700_Epic_4G

Not sure. But either way, thanks for saving my skin!

DTB
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes, those drivers will install if you have USB debugging on and hit update drivers in Windows control panel.

Glad we could help you both out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blakestr:
It says it passed in Odin but it doesn't autoreboot...I tried both times with just auto-reboot and the others....now all the phone does is turn on the 4 lights at the bottom but doesn't boot? ...it goes to clockwork recovery 2.5 if I do it but I don't know what to do from there.... please help I need to call my wife

edit installing erebos or acs from cwm recovery did not work either

process takesaround 2:54 or 3 min

By the way, if I am using this stock tar, why do I have Clockwork Mod 2.5 in recovery mode? It shouldn't say clockwork right? The first time I tried a prerooted tar, the deoxed one, but then I used the one contained on the first page here and I am still having clockwork recovery mod? Any ides?

After trying multiple times, it is still on stuck on the Samsung Logo Splash Screen. I can't even get into recovery mode now
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Redownload the tar file just in case it was a bad download. Use the pit file and also check repartition as well as auto reboot. As a last resort do it with the sd card out and battery out. Plug usb cord in and then immediately put it into download mode.

Also in the meantime you can go to Sprint website and text your wife if it is a cellphone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blakestr:
I've been trying multiple tar files. The pit file is the one that came with Odin 1.81... it appears to auto-reboot but nothing happens , it varies from stuck on the battery charging logo to just black, to the 4 buttons lits up. Any ideas, I really don't want to have to insurance this phone. Anyone who walks me through this I'll give 20 bucks to on steam via a gift certificate or paypal if you want...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
I noticed that in Odin screenshots you have .tar.md5 EC05 file but the one posted on here is only .tar file.

I read that .md5 restore files are better than tar,however there is no EC05 md5 file-i searched,can you post it if you have it because im having serious Epic problems with EC05 but DK28 seems fine and EC05 md5 might be my only hope.

Thanx in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did you try it with the battery and sd card removed? And checking repartition as well?

Maybe you should try it with Heimdall. Instructions for using Heimdall are in the beginning of the thread about the third post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blakestr:
I tried both those things. I will try Heimdall now...after that, I have no clue...

UPDATE - I previously did not relay this as I thought it was irrelevant. I had a cracked glass front of my phone...the digitizer/touch was fine but just the glass. The Sprint store replaced it because I had insurance on the phone. I figured the two would not be related, indeed, they weren't, although the phone took a crap on me an hour later. My volume button fell out but I thought that was because I was putting on the new Otterbox Communter (to prevent the screen from cracking like before)

Just now when I was popping the battery I noticed some light bleeding from around the volume button, which was loose. Then I looked at the back of my phone. (the hardware back actually). It was slightly lose. I look and see that ALL the screws are missing on the phone. All of the ones that hold the hardware casing to the phone on the back. I think the girl who changed the glass screen, that it was her first time or something because it took like 30 minutes (where she told me it takes 5-10 to do it). I think she forgot the screws. I am just assuming that some hardware fault/damaged occured because of this, maybe even something isn't ground. So I just put back on the stock firmware on odin. Even though it doesn't boot, it should be on there and not raise any flags if they see it.

Anyone have any thoughts on it this? I've Odin'd the crap out of this phone, trying multiple tar files...if that's not working it has to be a hardware issue imho. I'll update this but I imagine Sprint will just swap it out...I shouldn't have to pay insurance for this though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
If you get it to any of the points where it does not boot you will be fine. Just blame it all on the missing screws most likely damaging the motherboard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Blakestr:
UPDATE - They put the screws in and I guess just loaded stock on it. I don't know what they did that Odin couldn't, maybe the screws made a difference... *shrug*
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It could have made the USB slot intermittent. But glad you are back up and running.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiroimin:
I have had my Epic for few months now, and have yet to encounter this error. Today both my parents decided to buy the Epic's (woot 3 epics in the house), and so I go and try to Root it for them. I go to the first one, and put CWM 3.1.0.1 on it. Everything goes fine, I reboot into CWM, everything dandy, shutdown and go into download mode (Hold 1 then press power button), done this many times. But here came the problem. Odin has failed during the flash and now the phone shows (Phone ---- ! ---- Computer) display when I try to boot it up or try to go into CWM. So I have tried Odin again with download mode, I did get the yellow download screen, but Odin keeps failing. I have tried different USB ports/cables. Different pit files and modems, including EB13, EC05 and EH06. And I am sure the files work, as I have just tried the second phone, and everything went fine. ... So yeah... uh... Attached are two screenies.

This is my Odin Print out

And this is the screen I get

OMG thank you, that did it, than you so much
[Epic 4G Android Development] blu9987:
Ive gotten that a few times... usually when:

1) I use my low power usb ports

2) I have my phone in download mode before I load odin. I.e. you should load odin before you connect your phone

3) I switch usb ports after odin was already open

What I do as a remedy? Close odin and disconnect phone. Pull phone battery. Make sure usb cable is in the right port. Open Odin. Get phone into download mode. Plug cable into phone. Flash.

I dunno why its picky but if I don't do it in that order I get the same error
[Epic 4G Android Development] Boss_429:
Help please....

I'm tring to Odin my phone back to stock. This procedure says it's successfull but the phone will not boot. I get the Samsung splash screen and as soon as the Sprint splash screen starts, the phone shuts down.

Some background.. I was running Genocide 2.0 and SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2. The phone died today and when I rebooted it, it claimed that everything was force closing. I tried re-applying Genocide and SRF from clockwork. Also tried restoring a backed up rom form clockwork. Everything seemed to work, I updated all my apps, then when I went to the market, the screen flashed white and the phone shut down.

Is there anyone that can get me back up in stock? Or at least help me verify that all files are back to stock so I can take it to the sprint store? (SRF1.2 is EXT4, is that an issue? Do I need to do something else to convert back?)

Thanks in advance...

Update:

I've gone through, re-downloaded sfr1.2 and sfr1.2fullyloaded... Genocide 2.0 and JournalingOn. After following all instructions to a T, the phone will not boot past the Samsung/Genocide splash screen. I'm begining to think there is something physically wrong with the phone.

If I Odin using victory_8G_100528.pit and SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar, will that not bring the phone back to factory? Do I need to change anything else before I take it to Sprint repair for possible replacement??

Update 2 (Resolution)...

Thank you for your input! I ended up taking my phone to the Sprint store and the tech took 3 minutes to test my battery and tell me it was bad. Gave me a new one and been good since. I ended up flashing and re-flashing my phone for no reason. Oh well, live and learn.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Also check the repartition box but not the F.reset. If this still does not work go to post 2 in this thread and try it again with Heimdall. You will need 7Zip to break the tar file into components for Heimdall.

Other option is try to flash the ReRFS ROM. It is stock-like. Sprint will use their version of Odin and return your phone to stock anyway. They are not supposed to care if it is rooted or not but you can end up with a **** tech.
[Epic 4G Android Development] godenades:
Thank You!

Just wanted to say thank you, very simple instructions, helped restore both of my Epic 4Gs. Well appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] roberts0o0:
mine starts out fine but when it gets to modem it hangs, and never finishes..

any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Try it without a battery and sd card. Try a different cable. Or try a different port. If it always hangs at the modem maybe it is a bad download, try redownloading the file. If all else fails go to post #2 and try Heimdall, it is more robust than Odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boominz28:

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Go to post 2 inthis thread and try Heimdall or try Odin again without a battery and sd card. Do not check F.Reset. Try it with only auto reboot at top checked and as last resort check repartition. But Heimdall works better. You need 7Zip to break down the tar into components for Heimdall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DanielGoff527:
Am I bricked?

Hello all,

I just tried flashing a custom EH17 rom on my friend's Epic, and upon attempting to flash back to stock using the steps in the OP it hangs up on factoryfs and the screen turns to a random color (all blue, green, pink, etc.). I've tried flashing other stock firmware with Odin and it always hangs up on factoryfs (phone still says downloading) forever. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MajicManDroid:
I'm looking to revert to Froyo from leaked EH17 too and would like to know if this is a common issue or not. I'd hate to think I'm stuck on this build. Thankfully I read this post before trying myself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
As mentioned many times in this thread try another cable, try another port, try it with the battery and sd card out, try Heimdall in post 2,
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I have a cable from my Palm Pre and have Odin'd back and forth a dozen times. If something happns just read through this thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
I found that with a better usb ( I used my wife's from her evo) and also the latest odin(1.85) I've had no more issues with hanging. This thread has saved my Epic more than once from near death.lol HUGE THANKS TO THE OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
And I know they tell you not to....but if you keep getting stuck and you are looking to odin back to stock anyhow..select repartion, auto reboot, and reset time. Put ec058gbtar whatever in pda slot, (I did not select the pit) make sure to use a rear usb port and for god sakes ditch the samsung micro usb. Take the sd and battery out, connect usb, press number 1 and power keys together. When odin finishes put battery back in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sariamanascar:
I'm trying to restore Samsung Epic 4G using Heimdall 1.3 (I only have access to Macs). The phone automatically boots up to CWM but since it can't connect to my computer (because the USB mount says "unable to connect to ums"), I can't put a new ROM on it. I can put my phone in "downloading mode" no problem. I can run Heimdall.

However, Heimdall doesn't detect my phone. It just says "Frontend Error Heimdall Crashed!!" whenever I hit detect. Or "Heimdall crashed."

I've tried removing battery and sdcard when putting it into "Downloading" mode. I'm using a different USB cord than the one came with the phone and that's worked in the past. I've tried every USB port on my IMac. I'm running Lion 10.7.

Anyone have tips for how to rescue this phone? I just want to get it back to stock and un-root it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
A lot of people have trouble with Macs. There is a command line set of commands you can use. You will probably have to google it since I don't remember where I saw it. I think I googled it for someone.

This is do to the crappy stock cable...replace it problem solved.

Hey D, nice to see you back around.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
Haha, thanks. I am and have been crazy busy. I get emails almost right away since I am subscribed to the thread but by the time I get around to replying you usually have responded and answered the question so I didn't feel the need to make the thread even longer for people to read through with redundant answers.

To make this post not completely useless, I have not noticed ANY stability differences between successful flashing of 1.61 and 1.85. The success seems to be due to the cable mainly NOT being stock. I <3 these cheap blackberry cables but are super reliable. I have flashed my phone 10-15 times today testing a rom out and troubleshooting. kenny feel free to hit me up on IRC :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thanks D, never made it to IRC yet. Is the free Android app good for that, Andchat? I agree, I have always used my old Palm Pre cable. It is thicker and is marked so I can connect easily. Never had a problem with that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
Andchat or any other chat client is fine. irc.fossnet.info port 6667 if that is down you can always use keldair.FOSSnet.info port 6667 I am Cyc on there. I am in channels #epic,#acs-users,#Cyc,#gtab,#devphone feel free to come stalk me. I tend to be always signed in but not always around as I stay signed in on the netbook...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sapperpipo:
thanks so much for this you saved my phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
The USB connection on phone has gotten a bit bent, probably from connecting to odin or flash too many times. The computer will no longer recognize the phone. I have the Total Protection Plan, so I want to bring back to the Sprint store to replace. But obviously I can't Odin without a connection to the computer. Is there a zip file I can flash with CWM that will restore the phone to a stock unrooted phone when I bring it in? I asked on the general forum, but there did not seem to be a lot of response there, thought maybe this thread might see more, and more experienced, posters.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyehya:
Here is your solution. Follow the instructions in that post...the short version below the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904

Flash this in cwm http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicROM/ReRFS.Format.ROM.EC05.v1.01.zip

MAKE SURE THE PHONE BOOTS AFTER THE ReRFS FLASH!

Then flash this to get stock recovery and there is no going back!

I hope this helps! If so please get dropbox if you don't already have it or consider a small donation. This wouldn't be possible without DRockstar making these files so make sure to thank him too!
[Omnia 7 General] creative70:
Im talking about the phone's Earpiece volume during a call and NOT THE SPEAKER OR HEADPHONES VOLUME!

My Omnia 7 was a lot quiet initially. In fact, if I am in a noisy place..thats the end of the conversation! But even after the firmware update XENJK from samfirmwares.com and then finally the NoDo update using Chevron, I wasnt happy with the volume. So I tried something and found the earpiece to be louder now (I am not sure if it is really working or if it is really logical).. its been two days and many of my calls where loud and clear. Please dont blame me if it is not working!

##634#

Now you will have your Diagnosis (Ver. 1027)

*#0*#

you will have 15 tiles, tap the "MelodyRecv"

a white screen will be displayed, with the Samsung music played on your ear piece (dont put the phone on your ear, you will disable the test)

now increase the volume as its playing to 30 (I know that the ringer volume is increased but just do it)

Now quit the diagnosis by pressing the back button

Try calling someone and see if your earpiece volume is better now (make sure its at 10)

let me know if it works.. or if its the same or if you have any other solution, share it with us..

Thanks
[Omnia 7 General] DMAND:
The loud speaker is way better than that on HD2 but the front speaker seems really low to me

So I'll have to try this out!
[Omnia 7 General] illuzn:
I don't know if this is just a placebo effect but this really seemed to work for me....

Actually scratch that I reversed it by changing it to a 10 in the volume control and its actually quieter *i think*
