[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor1973:
I know there's been several threads on this in the past and I've tried most if not all of the solutions in them (except for the JIG) to no avail.

My EPIC 4G was on stock GB and I tried to ODIN GB08 as per this thread. The process failed (the message didn't tell me much) and left my phone as it is now. No lights ever and no way to go into download mode or recovery mode.

I have:

- tried to go into download mode by pressing 1+Power without the battery or SD card and then inserting the battery

- tried to go into download mode by pressing 1+Power without the battery or SD card and then plugging the phone via USB (using different cables)

- left the phone charging overnight

- left the phone without the battery for a while and then attempting the steps above

Nothing. Not a peep. Not a little light or sign of life anywhere.

Did I fully brick my phone and have nothing to do other than use it as paperweight or sell for parts? Keep in mind I'm no longer on Sprint, so I don't think I could get it repaired by them.

Any help is appreciated, except for the little reset button under the camera. Let's not go there again. LOL

Don't flash ROMs designed for the Epic Touch 4G SPH-D710 on your SPH-D700 Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor1973:
OMG!!! I didn't even realize! I googled "EPIC 4G ODIN GB08" (is that even the latest stock ROM?) and that was one of the results. I didn't even check!

Anything you would recommend at this point to get my phone back to life? Remember I'm no longer a Sprint user.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
If you are indeed on our device, SPH-D700, and flashed a SPH-D710 ROM, then you're hosed.

Our device's last official release is FC09.

Learn from the mistake.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor1973:
God, this is so ironic! The phone was perfect yesterday and the only reason I was upgrading from GB was to enjoy it for a little while as a backup WiFi only device and then sell it. It's MINT. It looks like it just came out of the box. Not the slightest scratch anywhere. That's how I kept it for the whole year I used it as my primary phone. And here I thought Samsung devices were unbrickable, since you could overwrite ANYTHING on them with Odin, including bootloader. :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor1973:
Someone on that forum suggested I buy and use a JIG. I wasn't really sure what it was, but found many on eBay and the description sounds like what I need. They claim to get you into download mode even if you're bricked. Is that wrong or non-applicable in my case after this huge screwup? Would this one work?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
To my knowledge, a jig should do the trick, but I'm not entirely sure. Only way to really find out is get one and try I guess. Or maybe someone else will pop in and answer.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor1973:
I just bought this one. Wish me luck!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
That would be your last bet basically. If it doesn't work then you definitely have a paperweight on your hands.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epic559:
here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQ6Rn0FBSk leave battery in and if u get a fail then close odin take out battery and retry u should be fine
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
You completely didn't read this thread. This guy flashed an Epic Touch rom on his Epic 4G. He's tried all normal methods of forcing download mode. He's at the last step before considering it a paperweight, which is using a jig.

Read and understand what is being asked and suggested prior to blindly posting. :rolleyes: :eek:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serstylz2:
i think I'm bricked too, any updates on the Jig method?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
We're just waiting for razor1973 to update us on it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razor1973:
Oh, sorry for the delay. I got the jig and it didn't work. No download mode. Nothing. My mint EPIC 4G (it doesn't have the slightest scratch of scuff anywhere) is now a paperweight because of a silly error on my part. :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed_coyle:
I have a bricked sph-d700 and noticed after fooling with it in the dark that when trying to get into download the device actually comes on. The screen lites up a little. It then won't turn off without pulling the battery. So, after every attempt to get into download pull the battery.

My problem is I can get into download but Odin does not see it. I have tried on a windows XP machine and Vista 32 machine. Windows see the device (Unknown Device) but does not recognize it as "Samsung USB so and so". Is"unknown device" good enough for Odin to see the device? I have tried several driver fixes and the cable I use I have used for data transfer and flashing another Samsung phone.

Where do I go from here?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Next time start a new thread for your problem; don't hijack someone else's. You sound like you have driver issues. Use a different USB port and if still nothing, another computer.

Hello all! I just bought me an Nexus 4 and the first thing I noticed was that there are wallpapers, live wallpapers and also "touchwiz" (from Samsung) wallpapers to choose from. I find this kinda weird and my question is of course if it's supposed to be like this?

I'm figuering I have got my hands on a returned phone that someone have flashed a custom rom too and the store have no idea..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android88:
Well go into about phone and see if it's on a custom ROM or stock. If it's on a custom ROM, then it's definitely used.

Also if in the settings are options that usually aren't available on stock then it's used.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ReAlives:
so when i was trying to dismantle my beloved nexus to change the housing, i noticed that one of the screw on my nexus had a broken head, which means i couldn't remove the housing since there was still one screw left, my philips screwdriver no longer works since the screw head doesn't have its shape anymore

does anyone know how to extract a screw with a broken head ?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lost_:
I've done screw extraction from broken screw in a transmission pan and what not, but those were 'easier' jobs because the screws were bigger. You're in a delicate place there. There may be tools you can get from Sears for smaller heads, but those tools use drills so it may not work here. I've also used Dremel to cut a notch, but then again you might destroy other things. You might try gluing a screw driver or a metal stick with those metal bonds like JB Weld, let it strengthen over time while making sure it's not adhering to anything else nearby, then turn it after it's fully dry.

But for $22, this might work best: small screw extractor. The customer photo shows a stripped screw from a cellphone that was removed by this tool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaron13:
broken head

Is the head fully away or broken in half?

I once removed a half broken screw with a small sharp chisel.

Carefully! tapping at a tangular arc to the leftover of the screwhead in the counterclockwise direction.

In this case a small watch srewdriver can be sharpened at the top if you don't have a small chisel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] npiper05:
This happened to my MyTouch 4g slide. I don't you'll be able to find a small enough screw extractor. I ended up using a small drill bit to drill the head off. Screw is then unusable, but at least you can take your phone apart. Mine was holding the housing, so one screw didn't matter. Depends on location.

Good luck.

If the screw head is fully broken remove the sharp broken edges so the case van be lifted. Once it is lifted you may have more space tot remove the broken screw. A small pointed pincet is maybe handy.
