can someone help me fix it?
Post this in Q&A instead of general.
Also provide more information.
1. What specifically did you do..step by step
2. What is the phone doing to make you think it is bricked?
3. What have you tried to do to resolve the issue?
4. Have you searched the forum and found the thread on "How to fix a bricked Epic?"
I was using oden and i had on download mode but i took the battery out before the phone reboot... its stuck with a "phone ! computer" logo im looking in the forum for help but cant find the answer... i searched youtube too

Whenever you get the Phone/Computer logo, pull the battery, then hold 1 and power on. It should go back to download mode. It has happened to me lots of times due to Odin failing to flash (I usually have to rotate pit's before Odin finally flashes for me).
tried that but still no luck... should i reset my desktop?
it worked!!!!
thank you both very much!!!!
Zomg its not bricked........
Bricked = doesnt turn on to anything!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bricked != download mode
it was stuck on one spot and only went to download mode... that is being bricked right?

No. Being bricked is when it wont even enter download mode, and there is no way get it back. If it will get into download mode, you can Odin it back to stock, and so it is NOT bricked. It is VERY hard to really brick this phone.
The term bricked gets thrown around a lot, but when something is bricked it means you can't use it for anything other than a brick. Unless you royally mess something up you should always be able to hold down the number 1 and power to get to download mode.
Now if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone for what ever reason that is another story. That is usually just an issue with you not having your drivers properly installed.

Officially bricked means "up the creek without a paddle" or in other words, you made a 250-600$ mistake. It is when you get absolutely no reaction from the phone or that no one has ever been able to bring the phone out of that specific state back into working order.
If you get the phone working using the tutorial "How to fix my bricked Epic" then it really wasn't "bricked" in the first place. Glad to hear you got it back.
...also I am very proud of the epic forum goers for not completely murdering this guy for this post..
lol sorry guys but thanks again!!!
No problem. Have fun flashing your phone

Start calm.
All you need is a cool mind now.
Search for the USB JIGGS available on xda and see if someone from your area has it. You can then take help from that person. If not then just go to service center, tell them that it stuck like this while doing software update and act like you no nothing about rooting our flashing. That will do.

Yes, offcouse.
Just let them be unaware of you knowing about root/cwm etc. just act dumb. If they get to know your warranty is already void, they will charge you money for repairing it.
Follow what bruce says..
Tell them u got an update in kies nd this happened
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**
They said Board is damaged
They are saying board is damaged!
price to repair it is more than its second hand value in market
i took it from their and brought it home
i remember before giving them when i connect usb cable to it unknown device found is detected but now its not even showing that
i am developer guy so not a completely noob
i want to repair it not to replace its body parts

The last 'n' only hope left is this:-
Install ur phone specific driver on pc.
1. Take out battery, sim & sd card.
2. Open odin.exe on pc.
3. After this, connect the phone via USB cable to PC(yes! without battery,sim & sd card)
4. Press the download mode combo keys.
5. While keep pressing all those keys, insert the battery now.
6. Now, odin should detect ur phone so that u may get it updated with stock firmware.
And if this also doesn't work, then bro u might have lost it at all

bud same thing happened to me. and unfortunatly there is no fix for this. everytime i turned my phone on i got the little android guy then it would stay on lg screen with blue and green LED. try download mode it goesto the first screen of little blue dots.
since warrenty should not be able to tell anything about root or etc. i sent it in. in the mean time i called my carrier company and they sent me out a new phone for 35$. but i have to send old one back wether it ges fixed or not.
sorry bud but there is no way back from that. even tho your computer gives it a port its not fully booting so you cant flash anything..... here is one last thing you can try................ this could be your only hope.......it didnt help me but it might work for you...
good luck

thank you so much sir for replying, what is really wierd is that when i connect it to my pc, kingo root detects it, and gives me the option to root, then the rootin process stops at fetching scripts.
I cannot read.

If you can do that, you should be able to fix it via that Ubuntu guide to restore the partitions I think...?

Altho i did suggest that ubuntu method just incase it does work for you. Exhaust all options before giving it up for repair or warrenty exchange good luck and i hope you are more secessful then i was. Altho rogers did send me out a new phone good luck
thank you guys , my phone when on lg logo, and connected to pc, i can see it in device manager under modem as LGE android net usb modem,
and under ports as LGE android serial port com 8, any chance or sign of live to my phone, as mentionned before, there is no waranty services in our country.

No ubuntu did not see my phone. Only my pc did even tho my phone wouldnt finish booting.
Could there be a paid fix? I'm ready to pay to bring my phone to life again.
Been running pac rom, tried installing a custom ROM that was almost stock kitkat for Verizon. Forgot to wipe i think, and now i have been screwed since. Stuck in boot loop. Factory reset can be reached, but screen goes black everytime and doesnt allow me to get into TWRP. Only thing accessiable is download mode. But device is not recongized in adb, only when its bootlooping. But it is recognized in devices and printers in bootloop. New computer also, no RSA authentication, while in bootloop ive tried to adb boot recovery commands, but no authorization. Im completly stuck and have been for days, ive read so many posts but everything i have found doesnt match all my problems. and most people dont read the entire post or problem before submitting a dumb answer, which is a duh i tried that kind of thing thanks for nothing. SO PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE. IM GOING CRAZY OVER HERE AND LOOSING MY MIND> WHO EVER CAN HELP ME, IS GOD AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TOP DOG GENIOUS>
When you get to the white Factory Reset screen, pressing the power button 3 or 4 times won't get you back into TWRP?
Well u press it once to give conform option, and the second time, turn it black
lg flash tool
that doesnt work because it thinks its got the latest version. I need some real help bad, its so hard not having my phone. This would be easy if my laptop didnt get stolen that had authorization to do cmd commands. Anyways, really need some brain power put togeaher on this on and \fast. Is anyone down with maybe skyping with me, to visually see whats going on and troubleshoot it as if you were remoting into a computer. Just tell me what to do!!!> Please you have no idea how much I would love someone if they did. Its been driving me balls for weeks now. I NEED SOMEONES HELP

vs98010b stock rooted
Hi,
I was about flashing stock rom (following this thread and using CSE Flashing mode), when suddenly LG Flash Tool crashed on windows (I hate windows). Flashing progress stuck at 16%, so I press and hold power button to power phone off. but when I tried to enter to Download Mode, phone start too boot, and after LG logo, screen keeps going on and off (showing black screen)
I tried to enter to recover or factory hard reset, but it going to Factory data reset, even if I confirm reseting data it would try to boot same as when I tried to get Download Mode.
adb does not work
I followed this thread, but /dev/sdb1..36 just available for a few second and then disappear, after a while they are available and then disappear, and this will going on, (I think this is related to that screen on and off thing)
Would someone help me?
Sorry for my bad english, I'm a little nervous right now
Ok, finally I could see sdb1...36 and do what have been said here, and now I stuck at LG logo at boot.
still cannot get the download mode
factory hard reset is back but it'll stuck at "Factory reset processing..."
I have really lost my respect to flashtool after this kind of errors. If someone solve that issue it would be great for our community
please help

Yes I'm still have warranty.
But I hope I can fix it myself
Mine just got this issue too. Repair center denied the phone for repairs, claiming it is user damage.
So yup, I have a neat paperweight now.

Somewhere in the forum i saw that you can detect your phone as a adb device on ubuntu or etc. Have you tried that? Im really feeling sorry about hearing that issue. As advice use old flashtool method that is harder but safer

Ubuntu is running in a VM, so I would need Windows to find the phone first.
Unfortunately, Windows never sees the phone.
It's weird though. TWRP got successfully flashed during the QHSUSB_BULK guide method, but I cannot boot into it.

No download mode, no recovery, no ADB, no fastboot, factory reset freezes, nothing works.

If you see the lg logo maybe you will have a change. A guy who had the same results like you brings his phone plugged for 10-15 minutes than he have find his phone in download mode. Of course he plug the cable while holding the down button. I hope you will get your phone back with its functions

Well, that's worth the try.

Hopefully it will still charge when connected.

I won't dare doing that, as it doesn't seem to charge anymore.
I'm gonna retry sending it in today, otherwise it's going into the bin.

Hello thanks for your reply. Yes i can enter download mode.
I looked up some guides on youtube and i can't seem to figure out the cmd part.
I type in the commands but it says it doesn't find any device. Could someone help me out via remote desktop perhaps? i would appreciate it.
