[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamice4u:
Good evening my phone refuses to boot up in odin. My phone can flash roms in odin but does not restart. What is wrong with my phone and how do I fix it. It looks like my phone refuses to read stats from my battery nor does it charge my battery anymore. No matter what tar rom I put into odin it will flash it successfully and afterward restart and keep flashing the battery animation screen. This is very frustrating. Thank you in advanced.

Here is the story below:

Do you BONSAI?

I brick my phone on Saturday night so basically what happened is I flashed my modem in the phone slot and also my phone turned off in the middle of flashing my Rom. My phone constantly kept flashing the battery animation. Later I read somewhere to flash the pit file in the same phone where you flash you modem or phone and this killed my phone. My phone was completely brick with no life in it.

After spending Saturday trying to flash my phone back to life I went to bed discouraged. So that morning I said a pray that my phone would get fixed. The next day I went to church and decided to goto the sprint store. Knew that sprint was not going to let me down. After one hour I came back and the person at the sprint store told me that they could not help me with fix my phone because my phone had physical damage. Please note this if you have insurance and if you have any physical damage on your phone sprint will not fix your phone. So I said to myself I will just goto the next store. But since they flagged my phone I could not get a replacement phone. I the person at the sprint store told me that they would help me if I got the ok from the customer service people. The customer service people told me that they would help me out but the customer service rep then told the customer service person that he could not help me because my phone had been flagged.

Then she convince me to talk to assurian and maybe they could give me a phone. I knew that anytime you talk to assurian you have to pay $100.00. So what happened I told assurian that I was not going to pay $100.00 so basically they transferred me to customer service again and the lady on the phone to me she was going to help me and she was giving me the ticket number for a replacement phone but the HTC Arrive phone went into flash mode and I thought the phone dropped the phone call. The HTC arrive has a sensitive phone and when it place against your face the phone usually goes into flash mode a lot. So basically I missed out on a new phone.

So I the next person I talked to told me the she could not help me at all. I felt I missed out on my replacement phone. So I ended up talking to the people in retentions and they told me that they would give me $125 dollars off my phone bill to off set the trouble I went thru today and the fact my replacement phone had to go thru assurian. So I agree to his deal and call assurian again because they told me I could bill the assurian deductible on my next phone bill. But when I talk to the people with assurian they could not help me because was behind on my phone bill. So I had to pay the $100 deductible before I got my phone. So I told him forget about it.

I felt really crappy and I spent the whole night look for answers. So basically what I did was remove my battery and sd card from my phone for 6 to 12 hours so maybe my phone could forget the pain I put it through. I read this one article in when the person said that if you press the power button 3 times it will help your phone go back to download mode. So what happened was I press the power button over 30 times and my phone surprisingly went into download mode I said holy crap!!! But when I flashed the Rom it would not start up. My phone kept going back the battery animation screen. My phone would not keep a charge and kept turning off all the time. I flashed over 7 roms and with no luck. Then I read Kennyglass post and he helped me to flashed the right rom stockdeoEC05 http://www.multiupload.com/HZP1LRIKBS which fixed my phone. Thank you God and thank you Kennyglass.
