did you install all the right drivers? make sure you have the galaxy s drivers completely unzipped go into device manager and make sure there arent any alerts) if somethings not installed properly click update driver and set the path to where the galaxy drivers were unzipped

Well I'm confused because I went to the samsung website and from there I downloaded the samsung moment driver set. And that didn't work . So I got the 64. bit file and that failed as well

how did you install? just try running the files in the zip? or what

the only way i got it to work was unrared the files into a folder, and plugged in my phone in usb debug mode and went to device manager and manually had each thing search for drivers in the new folder, after i installed one thing another popped up with a ? next to it and did that a few times till everything worked.
sorry im kind of new at this android thing but ive spent entirely too much time on computers

I just put it in the root of my SD card and clicked on the app and clicked install.
it takes a bit of time but it works great.
Try redownloading if it still does not work.
did you dl from rapidshare and get a ~100kB file? That happened to me and I dled from one of the other posts, got a ~100MB file and it worked fine.
Yeah looks like that is what I did. There's a different link in a later part in that thread for hotfile which worked

I'm rooted and you just delete the su apk along with the busy box one too. Using adb or terminal on the phone too get rid of root...

Its not hard at all . Just download it and put the folder in the root of your harddrive .
I'm just having problems with the Samsung drivers and wondering if I have to flash back to stock before I can install drivers.

Yeah, just download it... It's less than 30MB. Make your instal path as short as possible. Try adb devices to test if you have it set up right and it sees your phone.

Phone wont boot up

I tried running the syndicate rom. Worked fine until I tried rebooting it. Now it will notboot and just show the Samsung letters. What should do? I went to best buy and sprint stores and they couldn't fix it. I tried taking out the battery too. What should I do?!
can you get into download mode or clockwork recovery?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I can get it into download mode, fortunately. I don't know where to go from there.
Clockwork recovery won't boot up, however.
Search how to fix a bricked epicand download odin and somewhere on the pages of that post is the link fr the di18 but if you can't use it use the dg07 or whatever then make shure you have the drivers on your computor and follow the directions on the odin post and your phone should be fine as long as yur doing everything right

I'm assuming this method won't work on a mac.
I am familiar with this, but there would be no way for me to access it.
Hmm, any other suggestions?
Umm I thought that there was a post that supported mac but I don't remember what itscalled its not odin ill try to find the post tho give me a few minutes.

Thank you so much. I'm a little confused on where to put the PDA
Also, I'm worried my computer wont recognize my phone.
If this doesn't work, do you think I should try replacing it?
Ok did you download the odin file the like 200mb one, if you did it should be a .tar file or a .md5 if its .md5 then remove that extension and it sould just be .tar after that extract all the files in there ona folder on your desktop or something and put all the files in there in the heimall applicaion, al the files should be named the same thing in the app as in your folder and then put the pit which was a separate download on the how to fix a bricked epic in the first post in the pit section and plug in your phone but make shure you put the phone in download mode before it gets plugged in and hit start and your computor should reconize your phone if you have the proper drivers installed. As for replacing it I would go for it if you have insureance just say itslost or stolen or se if the sprint store will replace it for a cheaper price but if worst comes to worst you will have to pay aother hundred dollars fr a new phone.

I have tried using my friend's windows computer for a different purpose in Odin. Although, I couldn't get Samsung Drivers to work on his mac. (I realized that he had vista though, and I downloaded a w7 version, so I don't know if it would've worked anyway) Besides, he's out of town for the next two weeks.
Honestly, I'll try go into the Sprint store tomorrow and see if they can replace my device, no matter the expense.
That way at least, I won't have to go through the troubles later of having to flash back to DK17 through Odin after running the DK28 leak on my phone already.
Thanks for your help though; I really appreciate it.

Yup. If all else fails...you can odin clockwork mod and find the superuser zip.

I suggest you freeze your antivirus for an hour , redownload one click cwm and try again. Once your antivirus finds the file it deletes it so if you try to root you won't find the file.

Anti virus buggin out. Disable it while you download, unzip and root the phone.
Just odin to a rooted version

Are you in APX mode? If not power off your device then hold Volume (-) + Power. The device screen should stay black but the home button light should turn on. If you are already in APX mode have you installed the nvflash drivers. If not put your device in APX mode then plug it in your computer and installed them. They can be found in rom op normally. Hope this help you.

When you connect it while being in APX mode it shoud be detected as APX in your icon tray or as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices into device manager. But you can reinstall them if in doubt it will only overwrite them. Also, I've did a mistake in the previous post, APX mode is VOL(-) + VOL(+) + POWER.
Im in apx mode ......to install them I run a batch file ? I forgot how I rooted this thing over a year ago ....thanks for your help

Plug in your device while in APX mode. Go into device manager. Find your device and open it. Go into the drivers tab. Click on update the drivers. A window will promt, in it, click on find drivers on my computer. It will ask you the path to the drivers so select where you uncompressed the drivers and it should install. Enjoy flashing new rom!

That's weird. Wich rom are you trying to flash? Also, maybe you could try to redownload your rom, sometime it get corrupt while downloading or unpacking.
I tried the one I had flashed a year ago
Its seems I might have to send it in

So this is probably honeycomb 3.2.1 ? I think you should try krook1's CM10 rom. This is jellybean and it run way better than stock honeycomb. You can check it right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825176. I really recommend you this rom as it is the more recent and bug free version. You simply use the nvflash version to start then you go into cwm and you flash the most up to date wich is v6.1 for now. Instruction and download are in the link.
This is what I tried
