[Q] help my phone stays at samsung boot screen - Epic 4G General

i've read through some of the threads but i can't find anything that would help...i was installing a viperrom and now my phone wont go passed the samsung boot screen i can't access the recovery my computer wont even detect my phone how can i fix this

reboot into cwm3 and wipe data,cache ,dalvik x3 then flash rom
my guess iss that you didn't odin before you installed the rom ?

This might sound like a dumb question, but...did you turn off the phone before trying to get to recovery? As in, did you pull the battery so you could actually get the phone off?
If you can't get to recovery, did you try going in download mode and then plugging it in?
The point here is that since you can at least get the samsung logo you're not bricked...because you're still getting a response

i tried to put my phone in download mode and plugged it in but the computer can't detect my phone when i open odin

just redownload the drivers
Download the 32-bit even if you're on a 64-bit computer
the 32-bit drivers seem to work better install them then restart your computer and phone then retry ODIN
You can get the Drivers in this thread....

From My Samsung Epic Using TapaTalk.

ive redownloaded the software and still can't detect my phone

all im able to do right now is get my phone into download mode but odin still can't detect it...or do i only need the .tar file in the pda slot and my phone will receive once its connected ?

do you have another computer you can try?
did you try using diffrent ports to plug your phone in?

lol one of my epics still does it. Does it do this?

You need to rename the file to-
SPH-D700-DK28-8G-REL.tar.md5
Just delete the b and everything will be fine.

Select PDA place the .tar file in PDA Section
uncheck F.Reset time
select victory_8G_100528.pit in the pit section
connect your phone

Are you sure your phone is in download mode? (press one and power..)
and dont you need usb debugging on for odin?
Power off your phone, disconnect the cable from both ends, close Odin, boot back into Download Mode, reopen Odin, connect the cable, try again.
Please post questions in Q&A. This is not the Q&A section.
soryy for posting here and yes it in download mode and i have did that already i unplug it alot and plug it back in
Use a non-stock USB cable.

Use these:
Odin/PIT
EC05 TAR
Switch to a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, a different PC.
Have you tried restarting your Computer/ changing USB ports (use the back ones if it's a desktop).
i have those downloaded and i have change everyport and i dont have a diff pc only 1

No. Try a different USB cable, different from the one you're using (don't care what it is). Try Heimdall. Remove the battery from the phone and leave it that way for two hours, then come back and try again. Switch up the order you're connecting between device and PC. Make sure the TAR is in the right place.
ok thanks i will post back in 2 hours i will unplug the batt for a while
Also try to reboot the pc afther installing odin and see if that works

And if all else still fails, try running Odin with the battery removed from the phone...
Pull Battery from Phone,
Connect USB Cable to Phone,
Start Odin,
Boot Phone into Download Mode by holding 1 and Power (with battery still removed),
Flash .tar file.
I normally don't have issues when using Odin, but the few times I have had Odin fail on me (in multiple attempts consecutively), I have then been successful by pulling the battery out and flashing again.
What version of Odin are you using? I have been using 1.6 which has always seemed to work. Here is a good place with lots of Odin advice and files:

You loading up files into odin before or after you plug the phone in?

A valid point. Try Heimdall.
Have you removed sd- card and sim. Happened to me once. Removing both did the trick.

It's not a brick yet, dont worry.
1. Can you still go to the recovery mod? try to wip data/factory reset. reflash it.
2. If possible, do you have froyo 2.2 official (just as it's only one file in TAR)? Just flash it. Then flash 2.3.4 again.
Thanks all for your help.. I've tried all your suggestions but my phone won't actually boot to download mode anymore.
I've tried several times to go to download mode but to no avail. Screen is always blank (Black Screen) every time i tried.

take battery out for 10 mins then put it back in and try to go straight to download mode, see if that works

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

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.

Ensure you must install latest Samsung drivers..
Try to connect your phone in download mode.. (Volumedown+home+power)..
It will detect..(Shows in Picture).
If not pull out our battery and go to download mode again and connect..(Try until it detects)
Flash Stock rom.. & Reply..
Calm down don't panic or else you'll fail. Here are the steps.
1. Install the correct drivers for your phone (drivers can be installed through kies)
2. Download odin with the appropriate firmware of your country
3. Connect your phone to the computer in recovery mode (volume down+ menu+ powerbutton)
4. After connecting on, there top of odin there will be a yellow box that would say com 0:[COM:X] (x is any number)
5. After connecting fill pda, phone,csc.
6. Flash it with no interruptions.
7a. If u are successful then you can turn on your phone
7b. If your not successful then repeat step one and make sure you do it properly.
8. Press the thanks button

[Q] Frustrated!!

I love my Continuum but for the last two weeks it has been behaving badly...unsolicited reboots, taking forever to activate the phone, etc. My thinking is I've got nothing to lose by upgrading from Froyo (2.2.2) to GB in the hopes of regaining some performance. I'm a noob and based on what I've read here and other places I needed to downloaded the drivers, Odin3 v1.85, garnett_3.pit and SCH-I400-EG04-Ginger-Rel.tar.md5. Then follow these steps:
1. Download and Install USB Drivers
2. Download and Install Odin
3. Put phone in Download mode by holding Vol- and Power buttons simultaneously to get to Samsung Recovery Utilities
4. Start Odin
5. Connect phone to computer with USB cable
6. Wait until a Device is detected on COM port ( get a yellow box indication)
7. Map to .PIT file on PC
8. Map to .MD5 file on PC
9. Verify re-partition, auto reboot and F. Reset Time boxes are selected
10. Go...
Step 6 was never reached (device detection) when I put the phone in Download mode per Step 3. I left the PC-phone connected for nearly an hour and nothing. So I took a chance and turned on USB debugging and just plugged it in. Success! Odin indicated a device detected. Proceeded with the rest of the steps above to a point where the following messages appear in the Message Box:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> SCH-I400-EG04-GINGER-REL.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
And I wait. And wait. And wait some more. After 15 minutes, still nothing. PC is quiet, too. When I've convinced myself that I've given it enough time, I dismount the PC/phone connection and the following messages appear:
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
What am I'm doing wrong or need to try to complete the upgrade? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I'd try Heimdall, see if that'll help If you need help with that, let me know. Basically you need to extract The *.tar file using 7-zip, then load up each file one at a time in said program...
EDIT: it's been a while, but I remember this happening when I was using a wrong PIT file. I don't know if that's what's going on, but just an idea.
Curious...
Thanks, Trailblazer. I found a video on youtube that supposedly does what I'm trying to do. I'd post the link but I haven't had 10 posts yet. If you're interested, it can be found on youtube. The title of the video is "How to Update Samsung SCH I400 to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread"
I downloaded the same pit and tar files that the guy in the video did. Are the drivers supposed to be anyplace special on my computer? I choose the default when executing the install and it created a folder at C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG. I'm running this on Win XP.
Thanks!

The GB files need to be combined if you got them from here.
