I know there are various threads like this one but my situation is a bit different. I tried using odin to clean install 2.2 to then use the custom rom epic experience. I attempted to install 2.2 using odin but it would get stuck in "setup connection" and I would have to quit and try again. Last time I tried my phone got the "phone connection caution computer" icon and to get into recovery I would have to hold the power and camera button, not the volume down button. When I go to try and install things straight from my SD card I would get an error like "status 7" cus I didn't have the sprint apps to install 2.2. I believe I get these errors installing straight from the card cus I rooted my phone, modifying the kernal cus I read somewhere because when trying to update, it tries to verify but can't cus things are missing or edited cus of the root. I can't try to use odin again because my computer can't recognize the phone anymore regardless reinstalling the samsung drivers. SOOOO, I'm basically ****ing stuck for sure I think. The way I access the SD card is by using an adapter. The only way I see this working is if I find a fix using the SD card, but it's looking slim cus of the stupid root.
Have you tried powering the phone off, sliding the keyboard open, and holding down the number 1 and power? That should throw it straight back into download mode no matter how screwed up it is. Once that's done, start odin, select the files, and THEN reconnect the usb cable.
Worst case, the phone came with a microSD -> SD adapter, and a USB card reader is like $10. Put a stock firmware on there as update.zip and try to boot it into recovery.

Gee, thanks for the help.
Restart your computer, start odin, then put phone in download mode, connect phone, take out battery while leaving the usb connected, you should be connected. Flash with odin.
Edit: if it doesn't connect try unpluging while the battery is out, plug back in, then turn on download mode while usb is connected with no battery.

Rusty, here's some info on going back to stock, if you can get Odin to see the phone again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032 and http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV has the .tar download (remove the .md5 extension before attempting to flash).
Alternatively, if you have AIM, hit me up at lifeofbean and we'll see if we can find a way to get it working.
also make sure the battery is charged And the epic is connected to the BACK of the computer not the front.

This depends more on the specific computer than anything else. Sometimes front USB ports may be acting as their own hub, especially if they're part of, say, a card reader. Othertimes the USB ports plug directly into a header on the motherboard, those will work fine.
Please post questions in General section.
Mod moved this thread when I made another one in the general forums. Well I fixed my phone. I used my mom's lappy which recognized my phone, then used odin to flash the stock kernal, then I rooted it to then use odin to flash 2.2 onto it and everything is back to normal! I seriously thought I was done for. Thanks for the help you guys I greatly appreciate it.

go here and download the first .tar file and open "odin." Put the .pit file in pit and modem in phone. Make sure only reboot is checked then hit start. If that doesn't work don't be afraid to mess around with odin, your phone's already bricked It can be fixed. If odin can't recognize the phone then try this on a different comp on a different os.

Alright, Ive been browsing these forums ever since I got a Captivate and now I am trying to help a friend that has an Epic. They currently have dk28. Their Epic has always been Flakey on being detected on computers. We have tried three, it only gets detected on Mass storage on one of those and doesnt get detected in dowload mode on any of them. That being said, We cannot get back to stock via Odin, or use the Samsung official Update due to that it will not be detected in download mode. Can anyone tell me is there anything I can do at this point? Ive already tried 3 cables, uninstalling and re-installing drivers, etc... I am hoping maybe there is some way to get back to stock without odin, then from there getting to EB13 without the use of a computer. Thanks in advance and I look forward to posing here.....
Did you restart the computer at all?
usb debugging enabled?
i have trouble connecting sometimes and it's always solved by restarting the phone.

Are you placing the phone in Download mode???
****Ensure USB Debugging is Enabled.
Download mode:
1. power off the phone.
2. Press 1 + Power button together
otherwise, I would highly recommend to:
1. uninstall drivers
2. restart the PC
3. install the Samsung drivers
4. restart
5. try connecting the phone (while powered on) and letting the PC recognize it.
6. Once drivers are installed, unplug the USB cable and Power off the phone
7. Place the phone in download mode and reconnect the USB cable and let the secondary drivers install.
8. unplug and reboot the phone, and restart the PC for last time.
Try Odin now, remember you need the phone in Download mode to use Odin.
Note: Yes I know I send the OP to restart many times his PC but, with windows we can never "restart" to much...
Couple things:
What OS are you using? If vista or 7, plug it in in debugging and go to the devices window in control panel, see if there is a samsung device there. If there is, right click and look at properties..check to see if there's an adb driver. If you see other drivers but not adb then its matter of getting the drivers to install somehow.
Second, there IS a full di18.zip, and a modem updater.zip to di18 as well, both flashable in CWM..(I believe its in a thread started by noobnl, its kinda old)...you might only have to do the .zip though since you'll eventually be going to the eb13 modem. I don't know for sure.
But be wary: switching android versions with CWM can be dangerous. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it can actually be riskier than using odin. I would say use this only in last resort.
If you decide to do this, MAKE SURE you have the full download (I say download twice and compare the sizes just to make sure), have a full battery and keep it plugged in, and do your 3x wipes
Good luck

Im Using Vista and No Drivers were there.... And I guess I may be at the last resort point. Full details?
some people have tried changing usb ports and it will work.
anyone else having problems not being able to connect phone to comp. can try this method but not sure if this works on the dk28.
what you could do is to remove the microsd card from phone use the adapter that came with it and put sd card into your laptop or if you have a external hub then your microsd will just be a storage devise then download the mac version of froyo from samsung (sorry i can't post outside links yet)but it is the samsung support downloads then search for this SPH-D700ZKASPR click on the software then download the mac version to comp. then copy and paste what you downloaded to the root of the sdcard (the first one you see when you open the sdcard) then put card back in phone, power off phone wait untill all lights go off press volume down, camera and power at same time. then in recovery chose update.zip from sd by using volume buttons to chose what you want to do then press the home button to start.
I had issues with mine taking the update (and issues with it beforehand) and getting it recognized on two different computer, multiple times, it seems completely random whether or not it would work sometimes.

Any confirmation on whether or not this is safe and will work???
this is how i put different updates in zip format on my phones sometimes my comp hesitates, so to make sure they go on sd card all the way this is how i do it. its doing the same as mounting phone in storage mode.
but i went back to stock ecliar di18 2.1 a couple days ago and i had no prob.at all.
i just didn't want to wait for the ota and i found the update.zip on the samsung website yesterday at about 6 pm. downloaded it and it worked great. was rooted this morning at 7am and am good to go.

sorry, what i was saying for you was to change ports. i guess what should have been asked is are you rooted or do you just have the unofficial dk28 on it from dec. and have you removed any of the bloatware?
Yes change USB ports. The ones in the front normally don't work. You need one directly on the mortherboard

Hate to ask, but did you follow the instructions EXACTLY as the SW Updater tool says? Pull battery (next) - Download mode (next) - plug into PC (next) - Pull battery (again) (next).
One of the steps the tool does has to do with installing drivers... you mentioned Vista, but is it 32 or 64 bit? Have you tried a different PC?

I have the exact issue with my phone. I can only connect to my computer using the back usb ports (off the motherboard). I'm on windows 7. If you haven't, give that a shot. Even try uninstalling the drivers, connecting to the back usb ports and see what it does.
Saw someone post about Odin only working when they flipped the phone face down - thought it had something to do with the accelerometer. I suspect that in that case it might just be a bad connection and flipping the phone over made the contacts work. Worth trying though it you are desperate.
so i tried to update my phone to EC05 thru odin with the sydicaterom 1.1 (i was on 1.0.2) so i downloaded the modem and the odin package on this website for it and when i tried to flash it (was in download mode on my phone) it went stright to fail in odin and then my phone reset and now when i turn on my phone or plug it into the computer or wall charger it comes up with a little picture of a phone and then 2 dots and then a ! and then a little computer . and when i try to hold the power,cam,volume down buttons it does the same the only thing i can do on my phone is enter download mode thru power and holding 1 what can i do i am stuck. when i plug my phone into the computer so odin can read it nothing happens even when i put it in download mode my 2 computers wont read my phone

Your phone is probably not bricked if you can enter download mode.
Have you tried a different cable??? Also, for now - just to see if your phone is in bad shape, I would try to download a stock DI18 or something. Maybe the ROM image you have is corrupted.
tryin to find a different cable right now my kids went and hid my usb cable for my phone and using my gfs phone usb (which is a LG) but until then this is all i got lol but yea i did try different roms and the DI18 and EB which i was on and odin wont even get my phone to pop up

Why would you odin in the first place when we have the flashable.zips... Much easier. Just go back into download mode and reodin and you should be just fine.
i found the right cable but odin still wont find my phone =/. thats the problem is that odin wont do anything because it wont see my phone in download mode i DID get into CWM and tried reinstalling my roms and stuff but when it gets done installing whatever i want to install it restarts and goes to the whole phone and computer icon
Look through the general section in this forum and go to the how to video thread. It will show you how to properly use odin. There is also a video showing you how to update to ec05. Id post the link but I'm on my phone.

This happened to me and I had to pull my battery and start up in download mode again. Try that.
did what that guide said to do i put in download mode and plug my cable in and still no go it will not connect to computer nothing comes up in odin. i tried takin battery out and sd card and putting them back in and no go (also did with out battery in the phone)
I thought my phone was bricked it was stuck, I had pulled the battery out several times and nothing, so I left the battery out for a couple of hours and when I put the battery back in it started working, not sure why just happy it did, word to the wise sprint wont work on the phone unless you have everything back to stock, I tried before leaving the battery out, before I got to sprint the phone wouldnt do anything let it off over night to take to sprint to try and get a new one I figured since it wont boot at all they will never know, but as luck would have it when I got to sprint after giving up on the phone and leaving it off over night, the sprint rep turns it on and it goes straight to clock work :0, its worth a try
Did you install the samsung drivers?? Did you try different micro usb cables?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
tried different cables, different computers, different drivers, still nothing
Good news: As long as you can enter Download mode on your phone, it should not be bricked
Bad news: there are many reasons a computer would not see a phone in download mode
1) wrong/bad drivers
2) bad cable
3) bad/flakey USB port on computer
4) bad/flakey usb port on phone
my tip: With the phone in download mode, instead of trying to use ODIN, download the EB13 SWUpdate exe and try using that. It will wipe the phone just like ODIN, but is a lot less tempermental, and almost foolproof compaired to ODIN, and will retore the phone to stock EB13, at which point the EC05 update can be copied to the SD Card and then run to update to EC05
So I can't connect my phone to any Windows PC as it says: USB device not recognized.
I tried Samsung drivers for Galaxy S phones and for the Epic 4G from three different locations and Samsung Kies and I still can't the connection to my SD card to work.
Also Odin will not recognize the phone at all either on any PC.
That is fine I can still download things on my phone with Wireless Transfer Pro application, but how can I flash the modem or install CWM without any direct connection to the phone?
Right now I'm running CWM 2.5. I want to put 3.0.25 on it and then flash the ee03 baseband and then reinstall a ee03 ROM since the one I'm currently using is being flaky.

1. if you're using the factory Samsung cable, toss it and get a good cable.
2. If you still can't get any of the drivers to install or work properly (I couldn't either, I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit).. find and install PDAnet. Select Samsung, follow all instructions carefully during install. You can un-install it when you're done but this was the method that involved the least drinking to accomplish for me.
If this helps (or any members suggestion for that matter) remember to hit the thanks button.
Thanks guys. It turned out the original Samsung cable was bad. It could still charge but for whatever reason it could not connect to the phone's SD card over USB.

Not to sound dumb, but are you using the same cord as your wife to try and make transfers? I have a computer in my living room, with 2 different USB Cords that my wife and I use for charging in the evenings. One of them connects to the computer properly, the other is unreliable for data and wont ever recognize a phone attached to it. Figured I'd ask so you can rule that out.
Also if the USB port is plugged into a hub, or front of the PC, try moving it to a USB port in the back of your PC that is directly attached to the motherboard. Also make sure there is nothing inside your phone USB slot. I have had some crap get in there (hence the slider on top I NEVER close when I unplug it, ) and it wouldn't connect to PC either.
These are both obvious solutions but we might as well try and start there. Let me know. I'd say uninstall/reinstall the drivers on the computer also, but if one phone works, and the other doesn't so it's not the drivers.
I had a similiar problem where my GF's phone connected fine with USB debugging on but my phone wouldn't. Tried goin back to stock...everything. Finally just put USB debugging on, plugged my phone in, went to Device Manager and where it said Samsung Android, I hit update drivers from Windows Update. Took like 20 minutes but everything worked fine after that.
I am using same chord and port as I did with my wives phone. Good question. I cleaned the contacts in the usb port still nothing. I had usb debugging on... Just tried it with it off nothing.... I really think I may have garbage data or something messing it up. When I installed ask these roms over the last year I only cleared data like once every 10-20 rom loads our when the rom did it itself. I've never had any issues til now.

Did you reinstall all 5 drivers and then try to Odin back to stock with battery out?
I have reinstalled all the drivers and used my wifes phone to compete installs as it wouldn't recognize mine. once we figure this out I will certainly odin to stock and start clean!

Dumb question.... is your wives phone the same phone as yours? ..... try going to the samsung website. Navigate to your phone and you can grab the drivers from there....
That's how I got mine.

If it comes up as unknown device then you'll need to go into the device manager and unistall the software for it. Then advance install the drivers for the unknown device it should then recognise the phone and install the Samsung usb composite device, gadget serial control, and the Samsung mobile Modem. Hope this helps

Yeah seems like wth its the same phone ^^. But make sure you open the zip and get the drivers out. Let me know if that works I've seen this problem with certain computers it has something to do with itunes sometimes I'm sure you have itunes and if you don't then its windows sometimes needs to be reinstalled.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Stuck in ODIN Mode
I too have a similar issue.
My Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 fails to connect to my computer (also tried another computer and different usb cable), after a failed attempt to upgrade to ICS 4.0. The phone will not load up now to 'normal' operating mode.
It will only come up to the message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can no longer get into Recovery or Download modes. At least none that work. (See below)
I also built and tried the USB jig solution, which does power on the phone, but it then comes up and says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME" GT-19100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Any ideas?
Perhaps you can ask in the correct Epic Touch thread instead of the Epic with the keyboard thread. More likely someone there will be able to help you.

I have had my Samsung Facinate rooted for some time.
Wanted to install the Ice Cream Sandwich.
So i went into Download mode using the USB plugged into phone and then holding both up/down volume buttons. Once in download mode loaded up
ODIN3 added PIT s1_odin_20100512.pit and PDA T959UVJFD click start it got to Cache and froze nothing showed up on phone screen or anything.
Now all phone does is stay on the "black screen with phone icon Tricangle with exclamation mark and computer icons"
I have tried removing battery and booting phone using vol up/down+power and few other ways to no avail? Everything i get is that one set of icons.
Any help? Thanks
can you still get the phone into download mode.
Remove battery
hold voulme down
plug in usb
You should get a yellow triangle
If you do get a yellow triangle, then there is still hope and i would be willing to
walk you through it.
With battery out and plugged USB in vol down does nothing. Once i put battery in the phone...exclamation...computer icons show thats it.
For reference here is the files i was using.
Update.zip
Odin3.exe
s1_odin_20100512.pit
T959UVJFD.tar
update-cm-7.1.0.1-Vibrant-signed.zip
ICS_Passion_v13.1_RC1.1_build2.zip

I hate to tell you but if you can't get into download mode, or three finger into recovery you may be SOL
I plugged phone in wall charger with battery out, held down volume down button and put battery in. It went into download mode. But still cant get it to do into that mode when hooked to computer.
Also i was using Windows XP when i was using ODIN when it froze.
That seems odd. I'm assuming you've tried a different USB port. Don't use a hub try to use one that is connected dirrectly to the motherboard. And just to clarify is this a telus or Verizon phone. It is also possible that an xp machine is using USB 1.0. I recommend at least 2nd gen USB.
I GOT IT!! Put all needed files on my Vista laptop and it would not recognize it either. Until i plugged in USB and then held down vol button then put in battery and it was recognized! Continued on what i was doing. Installed flawless.
First time i ever found something my XP machine could not handle.
Also this is a Telus phone.
Been there in your shoes in the exact sane spot. These phones are truly very hard to fully brick.

Glad you fixed it but you don't have a Vibrant. Using files with Vibrant in the name is a surefire way to temp brick your phone. Likewise, those ROMS ,radios, and partition file are all not for the Fascinate. Basically, it doesn't matter if it says GS1. If it doesn't come from the Fascinate forum then don't flash it.
In any case, this is pretty much a case study for doing absolutely everything wrong and still not being able to brick the Fascinate.
