I've been trying all day to get my epic updated to froyo but during recovery installation I keep gettin a message saying E:error in sdcard/update.zip. I've seen a guy on youtube do it and I'm using the same download and did the same steps. It was successful for him. Any help is appreciated
Have you tried searching the forums here? We have at least 2 threads going on about how to install.

Are you using stock or clockwork recovery? Have you tried the odin method?

Ok trying the method right now. What is the PDA slot? and how does it flash on the device? Do you need root?

Nope
Download the stock TAR file
Put the TAR file in ODIN under PDA
Plug phone in and it should get recognized
Hit start

The pda slot is a slot in odin...bottom right quarter of the screen....that's wher u put the file, I don't think you need root but I could be wrong

Ownagemaximus: better read a little more about Odin. You don't need root, only to get into download mode. And a word of advice, don't flash anything in the "phone" part. At least it isn't good for us over in fascinate land.

Trying to install viper rom on my epic and when I'm in clockwork recovery mode it gives me this error:
E:/ Cant open / cache/ recovery/log
What does this mean? What can i do to resolve this. I keep getting errors when I try to install the rom.
I believe you are in the wrong version of clockwork. For the latest viperRom the cwm needs to be Orange 3.0.0.5
Reroot your phone with one click and try again. It appears your phone has lost root. If that doesn't work their are posts in the viper rom thread that describe a process of going back to stock and working your way to viper rom 4.02b. Another alternative is if you haven't flashed viper rom 4.01 first you might try that.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Dont think that is the problem I cant install any ROM s right now including the stock ROM.
Reflash one click root. It will reinstall clockwork for you and that might fix your issue. If not you might have to use odin to go back to stock. The links for this stuff is in the sticky above.

Yeah you need to instal the dk28 modem first. In the epic sticky their is a version of dk28 froyo that you can flash through odin. Try that and then one click root and then instal viper rom.

Hey guys. I am in that other download mode with the exclamation and cell and pc image. Is there anyway I can get out from there. I tried searching for the stock firmaware and all but I can not find any.
I have the AT&T versions.
Thanks in Advance.

It said that this is still a download mode and you can use Odin
So either grab GB Stock Safe from teamovercome site or go to samfirmwares to get a firmware for your device and use Odin to flash it.

Hopefully you are not in the same boat I am in. Don't try to Odin another Rom it will not work. Try to Odin CF Auto root. That worked for me until my phone stopped responding to anything. If that doesn't work you are with me which is in purgatory. No way out at this present time.

Yeah that is what I was saying. Don't try to Odin any other stock roms it won't work. Once you are on MJA you are locked out of Odin with the exception of recovery. Your only option to get back to stock is to wait for a working zip that you can install via recovery.

[Q] Help Please, stuck in odin mode and "software not recognized by AT&T "
So I got a new phone and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to learn how to do things on my own with my phones, Lucky me my new phone (Nexus 5) is way easier to root and do the fun stuff... but not my Galaxy S4
trying to odin back to stock I got stuck in Download mode and later i got a msg saying "Software not recognized by AT&T was found in your device" and on the top line in red said "Secure Fail: Kernel"
How can I flash the kernel and the new recovery ?
remember I am a Noob trying to learn, so go easy on me
What file were you trying to flash with odin? Do you have a link? Also, what firmware version was your phone on? The version you're trying to flash in Odin had to be at least as new as what your phone was on.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The boot loader is locked. This means that the stock recovery and kernel cannot be replaced. Also, you cannot Odin flash firmware that contains a boot loader with a lower version than the one you are currently running.

If it's running show I would flash the mdl firmware again without the pit file. Then root it with motochoper and put twrp on it. Then flash a custom rom.
