[Q] Another soft brick problem...

I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, I've been searching the forum board for 4.5 hours trying to find the answer or some sort of point in the right direction. If you know the thread to answer my question, please don't flame me, just point it out...
With that said...
I attempted to upgrade my epic 4G from EB13 to EC05 last night. I did this with Odin3, everything said it passed no problem. Yet, it did not work. It would get to the Samsung screen then vibrate, pause, vibrate, pause, then nothing, just stayed there.
I followed the directions to flash the original EB13 that was on the phone to begin with. I followed the directions exactly, Odin failed, big surprise right? Now, Odin simply verified the MD5 said it was good and stopped. Now my phone just gets the 'phone-!-computer' icon, I can still boot into the downloading screen, but am unable to get Odin to do anything, am I missing something, or is there anything I can do to remedy this?

OK, I just tried the Samsung updater for eb13 and it failed at param.lfs
I am befuddled...

Try downloading the tar file for odin again and see ifthat works u might have a bad tar file

It's worth a try but the Samsung updater has it's own tar already. I think the answer he's looking for is in the Wiki.

I've searched through the wiki. Am I missing something? I find the root/recovery programs, they all say how to root, but I am not finding how to recover. for example, "One Click Root and Recovery", even though I cannot boot my phone, will it still recover? I tried it in the download screen, but it does not connect. How do I use these to recover?

I tried redownloading the tar again, SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL.tar.md5, but I get the same result, Odin checks the file says it's OK then stops doing anything.
Am I using the incorrect tar? is there a tar that's not an MD5?

Are you using your stock samsung cable?

From the Wiki-
"If you get a FAILED error after it writes "param.lfs", try this method:
1. Reboot the phone and reset Odin
2. Load the pit file and place the tar in the Phone section
3. Start the recovery
4. The process will hang while writing "factoryfs.rfs"
5. Reboot the phone and reset Odin
6. Load the pit file, place the tar in the PDA section, and start the recovery again
7. It should now complete in about 3 mins.
8. Congratulations! Thank noobnl
If that doesn't work, take out the battery and reboot into download mode with only the usb cord plugged in."

Remove the .md5 extension...it messes up Odin.
Do you BONSAI?

This right here, The tar will be tar.md5, simply remove the .md5 from the end and try it.
Odin gives me problems on certain PCs too, if you have another computer, give that a go.

Yes I am in download mode, yellow work sign with digging android, "Downloading... Do not turn off Target.
Also yes, to placing the tar under PDA and using the stock cable, plugged directly into a directly soldered motherboard USB port

I am waiting for the tar to redownload, as soon as it does, I'll remove the .md5 extension.
I was trying to bonsai, that's how I got all screwed up.

Well....that didn't work.
Trying it now with the victory pit, and th eb13 tar. without the .md5 extension.
I got a small blue bar starting to show,

Damn....phone shut off.
Trying again.

How did the phone shut off with a USB cable plugged in it? That makes no sense unless you have a really really bad cable.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I was just reading a post in which the user had used odin to put on d18 and he had no issue. Would this be detrimental to my phone since I started with eb13?
Do I need a different pit file instead of the victory_8G_100528.pit?
This is my first Android, been a Palm guy for years, but after my pre problems, I made the change. Theoretically going to older version shouldn't hurt, but I wanted to be sure.
One last thing, I seem to currently be getting to the datafs and nothing seems to happen after that, it's been about 10 minutes in this state, normal?
Thanks all for the help and assistance so far! it is much appreciated.

no idea how it shut off, it was on download screen, then black. took out battery, set back into downloading mode (#1 and power), now back at the datafs point, waiting...
oh, and the cable is brand new, using my wifes cable from her two day old epic.

I ****ed up my phone

I tried rooting it, It ****ed up Then i tried restoring gingerbread via odin it sat there for 2-3 hours stuck on file so i unplugged it ( dumb idea ) now when ever i turn on my phone i get sent to android system recovery <3e> and when i click wipe data / factory reset nothing happens. and when i press the volume down button it doesn't take me to the download screen it just takes me here. Why must i be so retarded.

It says e: failed to mount /data/fota (no such file or directory ) when i first get to this screen.

Sometimes you might be able to get into Download Mode if you do the following.
1) Remove Media Card, SIM and Battery
2) Have Odin up and running
3) Plug in the USB cable
4) While holding volume down plug in the battery
This might get you into Download Mode. I did this myself and ended up sending it back to Samsung in the end.
I then bought a JIG from MobileTechVideos and thats by "oops" backup now. If those steps dont work to get into Download Mode I'd say go get a JIG

Even when the phone wasn't ****ed up I could never get into download mode unless the battery was in.

Do you know for certain the driver is installed and works/worked at one time? Did you ever transfer files from pc to phone in usb mode?

Yes, I also tried 12 different usb ports and Now I am getting an un authorized battery error and It wont charge and it's almost dead :/

Do you have a verizon fascinate?
Are you able to get into download mode?
Have you tried heimdall?
Im waiting for FedEx to get here with my GNex... If you want to chat via google talk we can try to get it running again. Send me a pm if interested.

That or if you're willing to wait a couple days, order a USB jig off of eBay. The wait will suck, but it beats buying a new phone

I've unplugged my phone many times during ODIN when it just hangs....not a deal breaker or phone bricker in anyway. The key is to get to download mode.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349895 and get the full gb version and the atlas pit file.
Make sure your drivers are current. Take battery out. Plug USB into phone first, then computer, then hold down volume rocker to get into Download mode.
Open Odin, put the pit file in Pit section, the GB file in the PDA section and hit Start.

Also try a differant usb cable
It my be a bad cable

Thanks for the replies I really appreciate it, I cannot get into download mode as when i press the volume down it just goes to android system recovery and no where else so I bought a jigg, hopefully It comes soon

Alright so I got my jig and my new charger + battery's but it's still sitting on the same part where it got bricked before on odin it just says

Which Odin files are you using? Some GB Odin tars don't have everything you need to restore from some bricks. Get a Verizon version. Plus it sounds like your using phone instead of PDA. I've done out beefier and had similar symptoms.

Try the ed05 ROM found here.

[please help] galaxy s5 firmware issue!

Hey, if anyone could help me with this, I would love it. I NEED this phone working again and every source I've found either doesn't mention my model or doesn't work.
I tried rooting my US Cellular Galaxy S5 SM-G900R4 using CF Auto Root and Odin 3.10.6. I followed all the steps and made sure I started the process in download mode, 75% battery, did it in AP, unchecked re-partition, and also had the correct root file. It was going fine until it got stuck on "CACHE". I kept waiting until it eventually said "FAIL". My S5 was still showing the blue download bar but I figured it was OK anyway. I clicked "RESET" and it did. I unplugged my phone and then tried turning it on but it came up with a yellow triangle in between a desktop logo and my phone logo and it said "Firmware Update Encountered an Error. Select Restore in Kies and Try Again". It does go into download mode but besides that nothing else. It's just stuck there.
After some research I found out you could fix the issue with Samsung Kies, so I installed it and everything looked fine and the drivers installed so I connected the phone and it just stuck on the "connecting" screen forever. I unplugged and tried Samsung Kies 3 but it immediately said "phone unsupported". On Kies I tried going into the update initialization mode and I typed the model number but it said the S/N was incorrect. On the back of this phone it shows the IMEID (H) number and the IMEID (D) and I tried both...
So the last method I had was using ODIN 3.10.6 to flash the stock ROM. My phone was not rooted when this whole thing happened but it does have USB debugging enabled and yes, the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Anyway, I downloaded the stock ROM for my model, and I started it through AP and everything but it immediately failed and said this:

try a fresh download. where did you get yours from? sammobile.com is the most trustworthy place, its slow from there, but theyre legit. You probably have a bad download, its the most frequent cause of issues like these

If you can give me the link to a legit download for my model that would be great. I tried a couple ROMS but they don't work, and SamsMobile doesn't carry the ROM for my model btw

[Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing] bootloop

I really messed up my phone :/
Hi, so about one month ago I decided to root my phone, but I did not know what I was doing since it was my first time and I was VERY confused. I ended up causing my phone to go into a bootloop, I'd first to even get it to work make it I'd make it go into download mode then restart from there. It'd just say in the top right corner "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" then afterwords it'd flicker the bottom buttons to just turn off completely. Any advice or help would be amazing , I won't mind spending time just to fix this so I'm all open

I recomend to flash the stock firmware on your phone.
Get the firmware file from fw.updato.com(fast but sometimes website is down)
Or
sammobile.com(slow but reliable)
Since you already sayd you tryed to root ur phone i suppose you know where to get odin3
Extract the firmware zip file y downloaded inside should be a .tar file put that in AP in odin and click start
Also i recomend a wipe but in theory it should* start working without.
Hope this helped you

Oh no I forgot y need to have installed special drivers otherwise in some cases it won't show up. Get it from here în my experience first time it can take up to 1 hour for phone to be recognized. Also make sure ur phone is well enterd in download mode (volume down+home+volume up+power) a blueish screen appears and volume up again) there is no way it's bcuz of the phone. Also use the cable that came with the device and if it still doesn't work (for some reason) try in another pc (or mac)

Bricked Tablet With 1 Click Root App

So awhile back I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 4 by installing a 1 click root app and later restarting my tablet. I haven't been able to fix it since. I was using an app because of the locked bootloader. Is there a way to fix this? The tablet uses the T337AUCU2BOH4 firmware which I think I was able to find through google, although it said it only worked for nonrooted apps which I didn't understand.

You could search about Odin. With it you can install samsung stock firmware on your device, if you can still boot to download mode. Also it's best to avoid 1 click root apps(if possible) they seem to cause problems very often.

I found the firmware files here
I set my device to download mode and chose the file for the BL, AP, CP, and CSC section of Odin3 and click start. The program than stalls at SetupConnection and fails. I run Odin3 a second time and it's now stalling at Initialization. Later attempts I get a log with "Can't open the serial(COM) port". I Googled something that suggested I download the USB driver for the tablet so I downloaded this, but it didn't help.
Here's my log:

This guide says that you should only choose file for the AP, but I have no idea is that fix for your problem.

Thanks for finding that! I was actually originally following that guide although I had to find the firmware files elsewhere. I tried just selecting the AP, but it didn't work. I'm still getting the same set of errors.
Edit: I restarted Odin3 and unplugged and the cord and plugged it back in and I think it's working now. It started downloading and the tablet rebooted when it was done. At first, it looked promising, but it booted to some AT&T logo in the middle and white background which scared me a little. After a minute or so it booted up to the welcome menu to configure the tablet. Thanks so much for your help!

No problem. About that AT&T logo, you can get rid of it by finding "non-branded firmware" (or something like that I don't know the right term for it) or you can check if SM-T335 has same specs as your tablet(all its firmwares seem to be "non-branded"). Like with sm-t230 you can use sm-t231 roms. But be careful if you do that.
This site might have more firmwares http://forum.youmobile.org/downloads/?cat=151 thought I'm not sure have I ever tried to download from there. Atleast you can find build numbers there.
Or maybe rooting your device and changing boot animation.
