My Epic is stuck on a screen showing a phone having a problem connecting to a computer. I was trying to install ClockworkMod and now when I reboot is always shows this screen. I can get it to download mode (power+"1"). I have searched for help but no thing was found. Please help!!
Take out your battery wait a min or two then go into dowload and odin a ROM.

Look into a program called vmware workstation and you can actually use that to install linux within windows
Try virtualbox is free and is about good as vmware

Won't work; I've tried a while back.
It'll just freeze at the "Acquiring Root" part.
So no, you cannot use z4root to root, unfortunately. However, there are various topics on how to do one-click roots on your phone, with all types of computers - Windows, Linux, or even Mac.

Yes, when using the one click roots, you get a lot of options.
One being rooting the phone w/ cwm redirector.
And another that gives you the option to unroot the phone.
So basically, use the same method to unroot it as you do to root it, although choosing the correct option.
Simple as that

Since you are on dk28b it seems that you can get odin to work on yur mac. I would suggest just flashing the stock dk28 ext that is pre rooted through odin, its in the dev section

There are no videos that I know of and your question is very vague. First of all, have you put your phone in USB debugging mode? If so, then try other USB ports and if that doesn't work try a different computer. That is the only help I can give you. If you are using the oneclickrootandrecovery made by Drockstar it is rock solid and very very easy to use.

Wow, just wow. Please don't respond to any more questions. Heimdall is the program for Macs but most people I've talked to cannot get it to work. If you have a newer Mac and want to continue flashing I would recommend getting a copy of Windows and using it to use Odin.

You can send it in for repair. But maybe you should try Heimdall which is about the third post in that thread.

I had MIUI installed on my phone, I tried going to a different ROM and I ended up bricking my phone. It was starting to load the new rom then it powered off and then restarted and has not gone past the samsung screen. My phone is able to go into download mode and so I tried reloading software using heimdall and my Mac is not recognizing my phone. I've tried almost every trick I can think of to get it to recognize, no good. Am I SOL? Or does someone know something I don't to get it to work?

Well your not SOL because it gets into download mode, which also means you're not bricked just sponged... I know nothing about heimdall but it seems as though aot of people have problems getting heimdall to recognize their epics... I strongly suggest finding a friend who has windows and use odin... sorry I can't be of more help... but as long as you can get into download mode there is hope...

I don't know if it will help but post 2 in the following thread has info about Heimdall and some links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Heimdall for mac seems to be pretty much borked I couldn't get my macbook to recognize the phone either.. either use bootcamp to boot into windows on your mac and odin, or DL everything you'll need, odin, tarball, samsung drivers etc to a flash drive and drive over to a friends with a windows machine, it will go really quick if u have everything u need
You can't get into clockword recovery, right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
dont worry u can fix this.as the other guy said your gonna have to put all the files in a flash drive and then take it to a windows computer. form there first install samsung drivers. Once done open odin and connect ur phone. put it in download mode. also i believe your going to have to repartition. but dont worry, odin will do this for you. I can give u links to the stock files if youd like and i will guide you through it. if u want help then just reply to this post
what you did is: MIUI is a MTD ROM therefore your phone was MTD and not BML and you probably tried flashing a BML ROM this caused confusion and just bricked it

And also try a new user cable. Sometimes the cable can't make the best connection, and it fails during Odin. That's what happened to mine.
