how to install eb01modem.tar without odin... - Fascinate General

Can't get my pc to recognize my phone. So I was wondering if there was a way to install the modem file?
Thanks for any and all help!

Nope. Either search for instructions on getting your phone to be recognized or post to the general forum to have people try to troubleshoot the issue.

Odin is the only way. Make sure you have the latest drivers, and try different USB ports. Many people have found that Odin is particular about which USB ports it likes. You could also try another PC.

I've tried every workaround that I have found. Nothing works. Pc.will not recognize my phone. And my phone never gives me the usb "triangle" in the notification bar. My wife's phone hooks up fine.

I had some trouble like that too. Use the cable that came with the phone. I had a few that would charge mine but not work for DATA transfer

Odin is very sensative with USB ports.... I had to actually go buy new USB drivers once

Wait triangle in notification bar? Phone needs to be off with battery out, connected to computer. Then hold the down volume button to put it into download mode. No wonder odin wasn't detecting it! Good luck

Is that it or are u in download mode but Odin wont recognize as a com port?

No, it was in download mode when I tried odin. (I'm not that slow lol)
The triangle I'm talking about is when you hook up the phone to usb to transfer files. Can't get it to recognize my phone.

I appreciate all the feed back. And I thank u all for the obvious questions, because sometimes that's all it is. And it still may be just that, but I haven't come across it as if yet. Lol

I wish my solution was obvious. Ha.

You guys may want to check out my thread I started in the general section. Hopefully we can find a solution to this.

Odin finds one vibrant but not another?

ANy idea why this might be happening>?
Let me consult my tea leaves...
Nope. Sorry, I don't see anything there.
Could you provide a little more information?
Let's assume that both phones are in Download mode.
Let's also assume that you've restarted Odin each time a separate phone is plugged into the USB cable, instead of having the same Odin process try to talk to the 2 separate phones.
Let's assume it's the same USB cable, same port, same computer, and same drivers.
All you assumed is correct and I still cannot connect the other phone to odin. It won't recognise it. It does see mine right away though

Start simple, Windows sees both phones when you plug them into the USB cable?
I do one at a time

Turn usb debugging on and let it install and then try?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
There is no fix for this, it works when it wants to on win 7 64bit. I can't get mine to work until I try every usb port on a small hub I got. I've tried offical drivers, unoffical, viper team drivers it just sucks. Only time I've had it work at go was when I braught odin and the one click to the campus and did it on a vista machine. All I can say is, reinstall the driver buy a small usb hub and plug and pray

Just spoke wit a rep they said I have to go into a store. Seams to be a hardware issue. Hopefully they give me a new one since the replacement they gave me was refurbished.

Phone isn't recognized in download mode on computer

I'm sure this has already been posted but couldn't find it. But I was trying to flash one of the roms that were posted in here with odin3 and when I put the phone in download mode and Hooke it up to the computer I get either device not recognized or device.malfunctioning but mass storage works no problem. I use the cable that came with the phone and used every USB port on the computer. Any suggestions?

Have you installed Samsung Galaxy S drivers?
I had that problem when trying to flash EB13.
From what others have said here (and my personal experiences with trying to flash EB13) the cable the Epic comes with is crap.
When using another cable, I had much more luck in getting Odin/Windows/Samsung Updater to see my phone.
YMMV though, but it worked for me.
I think you should re-install the drivers, and try a USB port on the back of the computer. Usually the ports on the front of the computer aren't the best for these things.
Sent From My Command Center... (aka basement)
Reboot computer and reboot phone and try it again thats what worked for me in the past
Reinstall the Epic drivers from Samsung. Make sure to use the back ports on the back of your computer that are on the motherboard. These will provide better and cleaner power to your device, also cycle both the computer and the phone and don't plug in the device till after you have went into download mode. This should fix your problem.
Same thing happened to me. I tried using the micro USB cable from my wifes Blackberry. Works great now. Samsung's cables suck

I've installed uninstalled and installed the drivers again. Tried the USB ports in the front and back of the computer. I'll try and buy a new cable and see if that works.

Beats me then. Try a different computer.
Guys I've had this issue and tried everything you guys have and some. Look at the port directly on your phone. there are tiny little copper contacts on the tooth that can get bent.
You will have to use some tweezers to get it back down but look at this before buying a new usb cable as this was my issue

I checked that and didn't find anything bent in the USB port on the phone. Might try new cable and different computer when I have access to both

Okay stupid question. Doest it make a difference if the phone isn't fully charged? Haha if so then I'm stupid haha
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I have done flashes with thirty to forty percent battery. I don't think odin checks your battery. I would caution against flashing with to low of a battery as your phone can die during a flash.

Help needed ASAP for broken epic

I need to take my phone back to sprint, seems there is a hardware problem with the phones charging circuit. it will not mount to the computer, it will sort of charge, but if you unplug the cord, it just thinks its still charging. if you turn it off, it either just stays off until you pull the battery or sometimes it just reboots itself. it will not charge when off etc.
I tried 3 different roms so I know its not the rom.
So odin is out. I have bonsai rom and clockwork mod on the phone. I don't think thats a good idea to take it to sprint like this. is there anyway to get it back to stock?
anyone help please?
Just to make sure, have you tried putting it in download mode? It doesn't necessarily need to mount to computer for odin to recognize it.

I suppose you could flash something to get you looped at samsung mobile screen.

Agreed, that's what I was getting at.If odin will at least recognize it and start to flash, even if it fails it'll stick at boot screen.

i have got the screen to say download mode, but odin doesn't recognize nothing.
ugg, I got this clockwork v 3.0.0.5 and I tried to run an old update.zip figuring maybe i'd brick the phone or get it back to stock and it won't work with that version of clockwork. I don't know what the heck to do, i can't walik in with it like this.

Just follow the instructions. Good luck. Let me know if you have any problems. I had a bricked epic once and that solved my problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
yea, odin is a no go, thats the problem i tried odin on two different computers, you want to know how screwed up this thing in? sometimes it boots up and thinks its in car dock mode.
Try a different USB cable? If odin is just impossible, remove sd card, take a short piece of wire with bare ends, have phone powered on, and short whatever you find on the back, fry the board. Sad, but gotta take it out back and put a bullet in its head.
Really though, IF the Sprint employee even notices, chances are they won't say anything anyway. Never did for me.

how much does it cost for them to fix it? tried 2 different cables and i know they were working, i know its not the cable because, when i plug in the charger, it doesn't ring up usb debugging when that is selected and you only supposed to be able to deselect or select usb debugging when the cable is out, but I can toggle it on and off with the cable in or out.
Go to another phnes thread
Maybe the EVO
Download a rom from there and then flash it through cwm

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
since i'm rooted and they would be foolish not to notice i'm rooted and it seems there is no way for me to unroot or go to a stock rom, would it be better to just brick the thing? i hate to do that do to the fact that then i'm stuck without a phone. Plus what if I brick it and they find out it was rooted? can they do that?
If its truly bricked, no they can't. Them knowing its rooted isn't that big of a deal, they'd either attempt to revert it to an official build anyway, or they'll tell you they can't take it that way, as in bring it back stock.
I've taken in 2 Epics for hardware issues, one was screen, the other keyboard. Both were rooted, one was on stock build and the other on custom rom. They restored stock software to the custom rommed phone before they decided the screen was actually broken lol

While that would be the "smart" thing for a company to do, Sprint's official policy on rooting is that they will revert it to stock if they see that it's rooted during any repairs.
you are sure on this?

apparently the policy has changed, as after waiting an hour and a half, they came back and said its rejected because it was flashed and i lack common sense apparently when I mentioned that it doesn't say anything about that anywhere.
If u can put the phone in download mode the problems r the drivers on your pc should check that or try different pc.

Try taking it to an indirect dealer service center. Those people really don't care about things like that. I'm one of those people. I realy couldn't care. I just fix it and send it out.

[Q] No service

Long story short, I found my old Epic with the old firmware, 2.1 (Eclair). I tried to update it to EC05 with Odin and in Recovery modes. In Odin, it fails when it start loading in "Setup Connection." so I was wondering if it was because the phone had no service. If that's the problem, is there another way to update it.
Shouldn't have anything to do with your service... check yur cable
cd's or tapes?
Cable's fine, updated the other phone before the old one and it worked fine.
Do you have the samsung drivers installed? Also try another usb port.

I had this issue yesterday. I was using stock cable (I hear bad things about it but i was too lazy to find another one).
Try different USB ports, leave and go back into recovery mode. It just feels like hit and miss with my Epic using stock cable.
"Old Epic"? Not even a year old!

Try pulling out the battery and putting it back in, then connect in download mode AFTER you opened odin.

Seriously, if you're still using the stock cable then spend the $5 on a good thick blackberry cable it will save you headache and frustration.
