I did some stupid things to my Fascinate. I was rooted and had successfully updated to DL09 but then tried to flash an old battery image and the phone is bad. I tried a factory reset but it boots into a lwp screen with puzzle lock see picture). When I unlock, the telephone flashes a series of 'forced error' messages and then cycles through the puzzle lock screen, goes dark, and then puzzle lock screen again. I tried flashing Di01package3.tar.md5 using Odin but got "md5 has value is invalid" error. How do I get back to stock so that I can start over? I had rom manager on my phone with a recent backup. TIA
Redownload the package and flash via PDA in Odin. Sounds like a bad download.

I have tried 3 different downloads without success.
Did you rename the md5 file?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I did not rename it. Should I?
No. Renaming it would give you that were, though. Only suggestion I can make is to redownload the. Md5.

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the file and still get the hash error notice when using Odin. Other ideas?
Try using a different USB cable or a different port on your computer.

Hi guys,
I know it's supposed to be virtually impossible to brick the epic but I don't know how to fix mine using the threads in this forum.
I originally rooted my phone, installed Clockworkmod and had the genocide Kernel installed.
This morning I tried to flash the Bonsai rom. Everything seemed fine and I got the message that the flash was successful. Upon reboot the phone just stays stuck at the Samsung screen.
I've tried to use Odin to reset my phone but Odin doesn't detect my phone and anything I try to do within the recovery screen gives me the message that says
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
Can anyone help me get my working again? And what do you think went wrong in my attempt to flash Bonsai? Could it have been that I already had Genocide kernel on there?
If Odin isn't detecting your phone, try rebooting PC and use a different USB port and cable, if possible.

Are you in download mode when you are using Odin? If not... open keyboard while phone is off and hold down 1 and the power button. If that's not the problem try another cable.

I am in download mode. I will try to reboot my laptop and change the USB port. Hopefully that works. If not it won't be until tomorrow when I have access to different cables. Will let you know how it goes.
Have you successfully used Odin with this particular laptop and cable?

As long as you can get to Download mode, you Epic shouldn't be bricked
Instead of using Odin, try the SWUPdate version of the EB13 update with the phone in download mode

When I used odin to flash to Froyo I was using my desktop. This was my first time using the laptop. Looks like it was a bad idea!
I rebooted the laptop and changed USB ports and still no cigar. When I plug the phone in Windows goes into it's plug n play routine trying to install drivers for the devices which unsuccessfully install. I've previously installed the Samsung drivers on the laptop in order to mount the SD card so I'm not sure why doesn't recognize the phone. Any idea on why this happens? Is it normal when the phone bricks?
It won't be until late tonight Pacific time or tomorrow that I will be home and able to try things out on my desktop where I previously used Odin successfully.
U should use your desktop for this since its worked for u in the past

I think a PC reads the phone differently depending on what mode its in, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Mine has come up as a disk drive, an adb interface, a modem, and just plain phone. Not sure of the exact reason.
But yes, use the PC that's worked for you before. I'm sure your Epic just needs a little love

Thanks guys, I'll try it on my PC as soon as I can and hopefully it'll all work out.
I had a similar situation where my netbook would not recognize my phone, but everything works normally on my desktop.
I had the same problem. I think to fix it I had to run the one click root for ext4 and then flash the rom. Hope this helps.
I had a similar problem but was able (eventually) to get cwm to boot and restored from nandroid
Swyped from my Epic on Bonsai
Thanks for the suggestions guys! It was as simple and unintuitive as using my desktop and the cable that came with the phone to get Odin to detect the phone. I'm now flashing back to stock before rooting and putting on a custom ROM
Glad to hear it went well

So I bricked my phone. This time couldn't recover. Warranty replaced it, got my replacement the next day. I've never had a problem rooting before, but this time I can't seem to get anything to work. I'm wondering if they sent me a phone with some type of root protection, if that's even possible. Please help, this really sucks. Tried Superoneclick repeatedly, different versions. Univ Androot doesn't support Sammies (at least not ours). Z4Root doesn't work. Tried Oclf and in the recovery menu I get E:signature verification failed Installation aborted. What do I do?
Last resort (well, actually first resort too): flash adrynalyne's clean rom... That has root built in...
of course you need cwm working to do so....

Hmmm
Ok, I have only previously installed CWmod (once rooted) via Rom manager. Now, not having root, I dl'd cwmod_v08 and dropped the recovery and update.zip on my sdcard. I reboot, holding volume up/volume down. I select apply sdcard:update.zip, and I'm still getting a signature verification error, just like I got when I attempted this via OCLF. I read online that it is a problem with Android System Recovery <3e>, and to revert to 2e to remove the signature verification, but I already show 2e. WTF? I'm about to retrieve my hammer and root this piece Thor-style!
Haven't used Odin, but I guess it's time...
First off, lol @ the Thor thing.. haha
Second, yeah it is definitely time... just make sure you are flashing just the adryn_cwm_recovery4 ( something like that) file in the guide in this thread xP
And make sure you use pda, not phone....
If you still can't get it working, just ask here....
Also, before I'm done... i highly suggest not flashing a full dump in Odin.... just saying xP there is a corrupt version out there ( not on purpose)
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
Ok, I'm using Odin 4.28 and it looks different than all the vid tutorials I'm finding...cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar is on my desktop, but when I hit PDA and try to select it (the tar file) it says "Invalid Image Type"...
Newer definitely doesn't always mean better xP i suggest downloading another, older, version...
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
Ok, DL'd Odin3, it seems to be working better...What did you mean by you recommend not flashing a full dump? Sorry, still learning this stuff...I appreciate the help...
The link is bad for the update.zip file in the *Official* Clockwork Recovery thread. I flashed using odin3 and it seemed to work but when I attempt to apply the update.zip My little android turns into a caution sign-holding android error screen. Don't know if I did something wrong with Odin or if the update.zip files I am able to find online are wrong for loading clockwork with this particular recovery image (the tar is the image, correct? lmao) Help! Please! I'll send you good vibes and spiritual cookies!
Lmao, i love you xP
I would say first trying to push all of the soft keys and see if it pops up then...
That has happened to me before, and I didn't know what was going on either xP
Try that though... If not, then yeah... Your Zip is bad... I'll upload mine

Am I gonna do some damage selecting re-partition in Odin? My tab updated fine to 3.1, I was installing apps and my Tab went into a bootloop. Well I've Odined back to stock several times, but this time after it completes, it bootloops and never boots up.
Would that solve my problem? Or make matters worse?
Try to wipe data from recovery before doing a reparation.

Thanks for the reply. It would shut off when i issued the adb command to reboot into recovery, but the 10th time i tried it, it finally booted into recovery. Problem aborted
To the both of you in this thread, LovellKid and Clubtech
Were you to repartition would you use a .pit file, and if so which one, 512 or 813 (Tried without repartion get write error, tried with repartion but without .pit file and get "error at line 1455")
My Google I/O not recognised by any software (adb, fastbbot, kies) can't even get it to bootloop now (which it was doing before) so only alternative is complete crush the thing and try to start again......the old sledgehammer to crack a walnut theory
Seems that Odin is the only thing that will talk to the tab, but gives a write error at end of upload process, can't think of any tricks to get out of this except 100% empty the thing and try to start again
Thanks guys
It seems to me that if Odin can see your device, fastboot should be able to? Have you tried issuing the fastboot -w command?

There is no way to dump these files from a phone, and no one here has them that I know of.
What exactly is your phone doing? Can you get into download/recover mode?

I only can to the downloading mode.The main thing is this, I upgraded a wrong files contains "boot.bin" and "sbl.bin" ,when i reboot it can boot but only sound no picture, I think the problem is voodoo then I go to the sdcard voodoo folder, add the disable-lagfix to uninstall it , then can not boot up.
If you can get into download mode, have you tried either of the stock DL17 Odin packages that are posted here?
Try the one posted by pastorbennett. It has a bunch of the partitions included in it. I was soft bricked and it fixed it for me.

I flashed with CleanGB, and it is a phenominal ROM. But i cant access the COM port on my phone. I tried ##8778# and switched back and forth on PDA/USB/MODEM settings, but nothing... does anyone have any ideas? Please and thank you.
Sry. This is on a Sprint EPIC 4G
Same issue.....
Also my screen stays black when I open keyboard so my keyboard is useless.

Have you heard any way to do this? I really dont want to flash back to the sprint ROM, but i will if i need to, i need to change some numbers......
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers on your computer? Different cable? Different USB ports?

I have tried everything on my computer... My wife epic works fine..
I believe toad said something about it being possibly related to canceling a reboot from the power button. It's in the clean gb rom at the end....
I've just been living with it so far... Plugging it in after power down and removing the battery gets it to boot again...

Then a quick Odin to EC05 stock should get it going again, then root and flash. Don't restore any system data.

Not even in download mode huh? You can try restoring an old nandroid to see if that fixes it.

I think you guys have broken phones.
EDIT: Or in the case of your PC not seeing ODIN, something is probably going on with the PC.
ive had the same exact problem you will have to take your sd card and try to install a stock rom from phones cwm recovery or which ever recovery you are running
I have the exact same problem on the exact same rom.
But only on my home PC.
I tried it at work and Odin recognized the com port. Not sure what is changed on my home PC. I dont have to Odin often, and this is the first time I've noticed this.
