[Q] Odin crashes on boot.bin on Epic

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...axy-s-gt-i9000-to-android-2-2-froyo-download/
Ok first off this is what I used to create the problem I have right now.
I was able to get it to "install" and start up but it just keeps boot cycling on the boot screen.
So, I was going to go back to stock and then go back up to 2.2 leak for US.
Well... That didn't happen. Instead whenever I use Odin, it gets to boot.bin then crashes, except when I try to re-flash from the said above link ROM. Then it just does what it did before, boot screen cycle.
So, question is, is my phone bricked or is there a way for me to fix it.
YES I HAVE READ THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
I've done everything exactly and like I said, Odin crashes on the boot.bin install every time.
Did adding the modem screen up the process?
Also, I know that my .tar files work because I used them prior to this problem without any problems at all.
Thank you
EDIT:http://www.talkandroid.com/23911-android-2-2-1-xxjpu-rom-from-kalpik-gives-galaxy-s-some-pep/
actually I lied, I got my rom from the link here and followed the instructions on the other site. ... I think, ugh I've been working on it for too long now.

Try putting the file in Phone instead of PDA

Follow this thread exactly, battery out and sd card out, PIT file and repartition:

Verizon OTA and advice needed

Verizon has tried to ota me 3 times today, each failed with an error about fail to install....DI01 to EA 28. I assume this fail is because of not having 05 or 09 and that Im rooted.
I have Odin, the 05, 09 files, CWM green and am running titanium bu Pro. Anything else I need I can search the forum and download.
Any advice on the quickest,hassle free update or some new approach to try ? I kept it debloated but stock since the performance was fine and battery life was amazing at 21 hours. I skipped the dl30 on some advice because of enterprise email use.
Thx in advance

If you don't mind being rooted, and you don't want bloat, then you should definitely check out the EB01 and SuperClean setups.
They're already at 2.2 (EB01 modem required), even before Samsung has figured out how to do some proper coding.

Just saw that ea28 is an emergency call fix. Eeh...... I assume that I can go 01 to 09 then to the froyo eb01, but not skip 09 ? I can do cwm green to red at the same time

You don't have to upgrade through the different revisions. If you can use Odin the easy way is to Odin eb01 with root and CWM in the developer forum.

[Q] Any i9000M Experts in Calgary AB ???

Howdy!
(sorry... guess Stampede is getting to me...)
I am looking for a Bell Vibrant (Samsung Galaxy S i9000M) expert in the Calgary AB area.
I have successfully rooted, installed custom ROMs and then "bricked" two (yes, 2) i9000M phones. Both times, I "bricked" when using ODIN.
Yes, I had researched how to use ODIN before using it... trading weeks of my "life" for the said pearls of ODIN wisodm . I've obviously missed something important, have very bad karma, or I am just an idiot...
After "ODINing", both phones ended-up looping at the SGS Logo. I have tried re-flashing via ODIN many times, always with the same result. I can get both phones into "download" mode (i.e. the yellow triangle screen).
Anyways, I am hoping to find a local expert who is willing to meet me somewhere (library???), look at my phones and confirm:
1. My SD cards have crashed; OR
2. I am a uber noob idiot;
I am also hoping that if #2 is proven the case whether the charitable expert individual might suggest a way and/or help me to fix these expensive plastic paper weights.
So, any charitable local experts willing to help-out an unlucky moron?

What version are you flashing via odin?

you'll most likely have to take them in for warranty repair

@ BottleB:
I tried flashing JH2 (Stock Bell Vibrant ROM???) and 512.pit.
I had original installed CM 7.1 RC1 (via CM wiki method). Everything work awesome.
I decided to try some OC'ing, and flashed the Glitch v10 kernel... with spectacular speed results! Unfortunately, post Glitch flashing, SMS would receive but not send. Researched possible causes and cures for this, could not find any, and decided to revert to stock and try again...
... and here I am.
@graison:
I bought these i9000M's "used" off Kijiji (HATE contracts!). Both worked fine until ODINing.
As such, Bell won't "warranty" these devices (tried with the first one).
I have no problems paying for repairs... if the cost is reasonable. Any ideas/suggestions on the "how's and where's" I can go about trying this?

They most probably had lagfix installed which was not disabled when reflashed to stock. You need to flash the rfs...bin file (i'll upload it later tonight for faster accessing). I found the fix here on xda under a thread on bricked phone.
The lagfix change the filesystem used by the phone. Stock firmware is only compatible with the RFS filesystem. Also, i recommend that you flash KC1 instead oh JH2. Froyo is way better than eclair.

Pretty sure thats the problem. You flashed stock kernel on a EXT4'ed filesystem.

@urself25,
Ah-ha... I have a feeling that you are right, and that I did miss something CRAP!
I await your upload on bated breath... in the mean time, I will search the million posts for the fix you mentioned.

ooops... you beat me to my response.

Tell us how it went when you'll try the RFS fix.

Tried the RFS fix as per the instructions in the link.
After rebooting, both phones go into a SGS start-up screen loop.
Downloading ODIN files right now (JVE - Gingerbread???). I will try and reflash and let you know how it goes.

I'm in Airdrie, don't flash gingerbread! Sell me both phones for $100. Or search for the "trick to unbricking my sgs" thread. It worked for me. Though I am worried that because they were on Eclair firmware, they may be dead if they never got the bootloader update. I repeat, DO NOT FLASH GINGERBREAD!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

try a deodexed KC1 (current firmware for Bell Canada) firmware from [Ramad]
Using ODIN -- use a 512.pit file, re-partition ticked, Bootloader Update (just in case), and put PDA -> PDA, PHONE -> PHONE, etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
IF it takes you to android recovery 2e or 3e (i cant remember), do a factory reset/cache wipe, and even format sd if you want. it SHOULD work (i just did this too and it worked mint.

Holy crap! It's near 4:30 a.m., and I FINALLY restored/recovered my two phones! Truth be told, I spent half the night screwing up my phones WAY worse than they were ... and the second half of the night cleaning up my mess
@urself25 & @BottleB - I can't say definitively whether or not your link really helped me any... but it definitely put me on the right path. Thanks a lot boys!
@xWarMachine04 - Thanks for the directions and link! I *kinda* went that route in a round-about-way... I just wished I would have check my post and found your reply 4 hours ago! Regardless, my gratitude.
@hansonator - Thanks but no thanks; for $100, I'd use my bricked phones as door stops. REGARDLESS, I do thank you for your gingerbread warning. I did have problems with gingerbread, and (successfully) shifted to froyo on your recommendation. Thanks dude!
All's well that ends well...
- t.

Most probably the firmware didn't install properly because fo the problem RFS problem. A fresh reinstall of the firmware with bootlader finally fix the problem. Glad everything worked out for you.

I'm in Calgary. But I'm hardly an expert. I think you've gotten further than I have.
So I have nothing to contribute to this thread. I'll see my way out.

Glad u got your phones up and running! Good thing is you probably learned a lot during that night!

Learned a lot? No kidding...
Why is it that the biggest/best lessons always have to be soooo painful???
I must admit that my opinion of ODIN has sure changed; it's a pretty slick piece of software when it works right (i.e. when you have half a clue about what you are doing)!
@urself25 - It wasn't so much a firmware installation problem, as much as the SD card file format (like you suggested in the first place). I kept getting a message along the lines of "can't mount sd; storage not ready... blah blah blah... file format blah blah blah...". I did have to do a complete reinstall (PDA, Phone/Modem, CSC) WITH repartition... and on the second phone, a Bootloader update. Didn't do the repartition in the first place because 95% of the threads out there advise against it. Anyways, my solution was pretty much @xWarMachine04's approach/solution.
Unfortunately, I have developed the "randomly self-invoking" back button problem on the second phone. Fortunately, there seems to be an easy fix for that... but that's what I thought at the beginning of this journey!
Again, thanks everyone!
- t.

Now if you want to flash gingerbread it should be OK. I only advised against it because the phones were bricked. Good to hear you got it sorted out.

i'm in Calgary too, but i am no expert either... however i have been able to upgrade my phone from froyo (after taking my i9000m to market mall due to the internal card dying back in December), to gingerbread.
First went with Darky's 9.5... then upgraded to 10 and had NO issues with GB. I'm on GB still using the F1 Rom V9 now and love this.
For the OP: Glad to see you were able to fix both of your phones! Congrats... definitely no easy feat!

Can the Sprint Samsung Epic 4g on gingerbread 2.3.6 be rooted?
Hello to anyone who knows about rooting. I work in medicne so I can figure out anything with the human body but not with rooting my Samsung epic on gingerbread 2.3.6. I have tried different developers, different sites, and read till I went crazy. The lingo gets old. It would be like me talking to the common public about the interpetation of hemodynamic readings and congestive heart failure. Anyhow, I rooted my epic 4g before it automatically upgraded to gingerbread...then it froze...I researched and unbricked it with a program everyone said did not work...but it worked to unbrick my phone even though it was supposed to root my phone...it just reset it to where it was usable again. When I try to go to certain websites for rooting files to download...they seem to be missing...hmmmm. So again, can the samsung epic 4g on gingerbread 2.3.6 be rooted? If it can, please direct me to some site...so far...I have tried about 5 different sites...no luck. It is also very hard to find anything specific on gingerbread 2.3.6 on rooting...alot of info. on the other versions.

there is a thread that tells you a 3 step method. if you wanna flash another rom then here is what I did. Download the rom you want and put on the sd card. download odin if you do not already have it. download cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar.md5. open odin uncheck every thing even reboot. then click pda put the cwm.tar into the pda. make sure your phone is in download mode. by holding the #1 button on the keyboard and the power button. plug the phone in to the usb. a yellow com box should pop up. hit start it shouldn't take long but it will complete and the phone will still be on. unplug your phone and take the battery out. put the battery back and turn on using the 3 finger method. ( vol. down, camera and power button) then wipe data, wipe cache, go into advance and wipe dalvik. press the back button click then click install zip from sdcard. click choose zip from sd card and then choose your rom and install that should be all. if you want to stay stock and just be rooted you need to download superuser.zip the link is found in the first video. you do the first part the same but instead of wiping every thing you go start into install zip and then choose the super user zip. reboot your system. then you have to go into the root explorer and delete a file but I cant remember the file name. but then you turn your phone off and then you have to odin cwm again. then you will be rooted. i will edit this when i can remember the file name unless some one beats me to the punch. i hope this helps if not pm me and i will try to help i am going to be flashing back to stock and re rooting to day so..

Thanks...I will try it again.

Hi all..
I've searched everywhere and haven't found any info on anyone developing on this tab yet. I know that not alot of people probably own one or plan on owning one, but for the people that do have this tab it would be great to see a proper root and maybe a port of CM10.

SMS via google voice works great on mine (stock Verizon SCH-i705).

I'd love if there was a root available too. Almost tempted to try the GS3 debugfs root but i'll probably brick it.. lol Are any devs interested in rooting? Or at least pointing some of us in the right direction to get started finding a root exploit? I don't mind tinkering when I have free time. I'm no developer (php only) but i know the basics of OO programming, scripting, and linux and would be willing to supply some time. i just need to know where to start

I'm glad to see there are a few ppl out there that have this tablet!
Hopefully someone can help out MrHyde03 with a starting point on how to come up with a possible root method..

No problem! Glad I could finally contribute to XDA even if its just a little.
I've been looking into that as well. However, I don't think the stock firmware has been released yet and I can't figure out how to dump the ROM on these Samsung devices. Even then.. I fear the bootloader may be locked as it was on the sgs3 until someone found a way to unlock it. If I could find a way now to dump the tablets firmware I could take a peek lol. They say you need knowledge of c/c++ and java to build ROMs n such. I have SOME experience with all three.. I'm fairly proficient in php and that's based on C so who knows.

I found all the necessary partitions. I'm extracting them using dd right now.
If I understand this correctly, without an official release from vzw or samsung, these will be required for any modifications.
If anyone is curious..
Code:
mmcblk0p1 /modem
mmcblk0p5 /aboot
mmcblk0p7 /boot
mmcblk0p12 /modemst1
mmcblk0p13 /modemst2
mmcblk0p14 /system
mmcblk0p15 /data
mmcblk0p17 /cache
mmcblk0p18 /recovery
The partitions on this device are conveniently the same as the GS3. I'm not sure about the wifi tab 2, though.

Using builder.clockworkmod.com, i uploaded my stock recovery and got a cwm back... I haven't tested it yet, kinda unsure if I want to or not. Either way, here's the link to it if any of you want to try. If ya'll are even still reading this thread.
CWM Recovery IMG
*RECOMMENDED*
Backup your own recovery!
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Move it to SD Card and use the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery
If it doesn't work, you **should** be able to use ODIN to flash the original.
STOCK recovery
If this works, i'll start a new thread.
** USE AT OWN RISK! **
EDIT: Flashed the recovery.. id didn't work. Before it would even load cwm it rebooted the device. Good news is it rebooted fine and I was able to use adb to reload the stock firmware and all is good. I guess the hunt is continuing.

Hey MrHyde..
I'm still following... I appreciate all the hard work your putting into this tab.. I only wish I could help out more than just giving you words of encouragement lol

@MrHyde03
I will try to modify the stock recovery to add CWM recovery key to /res/keys, so the stock recovery will accept an update.zip signed by Google's testkey. I also need cache.img from stock firmware to extract the update-binary and learn the updater-script, how it mount /system partition.
EDIT:
Attached a modified version of SCH-i705 recovery and an update.zip (SCH-i705_root-signed.zip) for rooting. Please remember, I do not have and do not have an access to SCH-i705, try this at your own risk!
The recovery is a modified of STOCK_recovery.tar.md5 uploaded by MrHyde03. SCH-i705_root-signed.zip use update-binary extracted from Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 4.0.4 XXBLE3 cache.img. The partition mapping base on /etc/recovery.fstab information.
