Do you still have the stock radio? I've heard problems from people who flash pd15img and don't have stock radio.

Okay, for months now, ive gone through 2 phones and done more bricking then flashing I have done lots and lots of reserach and am getting to the point where i just want to stay stock. Im rooted, and every time i try to flash clockwork through odin i either get a fail, or if i keep trying sometimes it goes through and says pass but it gets stuck on a force start loop and i cant do anything in recovery menu...so i end up fash stock files for telus to return the phone to its new state. I really want to get clockwork on here and try some roms. If anyone could help it would be awesome.
Thanks, Mike.
Really? .... no one out there with telus fascnate that has clockwork.. plz help guys I really wanna run some custom roms

What version of clockwork recovery are you trying to flash with odin?
From what I can tell you should be using the one from the vibrant?
good day.
Okay thank you. I'm at work right now and I will try tonight
Sent from my SGH-T959D using Tapatalk
On 2.1 I flashed the Vibrant version (using ROM Manager)
From I have read, with the 2.2 update installed you can't flash it (yet).

Samsung epic.. When i boot into cwm and try to restart it just stays on the samsung start screen and never moves from there. How the heck can i fix this i need my phone..please help with detailed directions...
Odin back to stock and start over.
What have you recently flashed or done?
Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache?

Is that the only way using odin.? If so can some please post the links i need. Im fairly new to this.. I used odin before but had it set up on another computer not this one....
I can boot into clockwork,,,, just when i reboot from there it gets stuck, why would this be happening. Maybe i didnt have the correct rom on it.?
You might have to start over but not with odin if you have a rom on your sdcard or if you download one to it. what rom are you on and kernel? And have you flashed something that migt have caused it?

Go to the Development section at the top in the stickies is a thread called How to fix a semi-bricked Epic. That has all the info and links you need.

This happened to me too, I was only able to get to the boot screen and it would freeze, and it would only let me get into clock work mod, make sure you have a rom in the root of your SD and flash the rom in clock work mod, the new rom should boot up.

if you have a fairly recent cmw backup and you are on cmw 3.1.0.1 (purple if I got the ver. # wrong) try advanced restore, and just restore the one at the top of the list. Worked for me when I flashed a bad kernel. Good luck!
It'd be nice if you were more specific on what you did before you screwed your phone up so we wouldn't have 10 plus people figuring out basic crap smh. -_-
Quit being such a noon. If you had the smarts to flash a rom....then figure it out. I've made the same mistakes. Better make sure the rom is actually for your phone......noob.
Make sure you have the right kernel for your rom. Most of the times when you get stuck at the samsung logo is because you don't have the right kernel.

Wow. ****. The guy had an issue - we were all "noons" at one point,and we came to the forums for help from those of us that aren't so "noon". Ease up and try to help the guy instead of bashing him.

If all else fails, do a hardware reset

Double check your ROM. Make sure that it includes a kernel, made for your phone, and isn't some highly experimental thing ROM that may or may not work.

Yeah I know, I am back up though and I don't plan on rooting again it caused too many problems with this phone and I dont want to have to go through it again. I am kind of glad this happened though because now the phone seems to be running faster than it used to.
Can someone help me with this? I've searched a few threads but they are old or not for this phone. I have clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 and I was trying to flash a new rom. It wasn't working, took over 10min to boot so i took out the battery. Now I can't even restore or install the new rom again. When restoring I get the error while formatting system. Please help
Is this with multiple backups?
yes. i've tried multiple ones
I think it's really messed up, i'm just trying to flash a pd15img now
I am having no success flashing back to stock the normal way... can someone explain what this odin thing is? or how to use adb to flash a stock rom back on? please?
Odin is for Samsung phones, no use for you.
ADB doesn't flash system.
Read the "do I have fried eMMC?" guide. There are at least 2 sticky threads with it.
Okay, I'm starting to think mine is fried... when i tried reflashing the pd15img i get fail PU =[
Yeah, so read that... this phone died =[ I didn't realize this phone had these problems. My sensation has been flashed so many more times and nothing... so umm, can someone tell me how to truely brick this so they can't even know I was rooted?
1) That's unethical.
2) All flashing comes with an inherent risk of failure. You knew, or should have known that, before you flashed in the first place.
Never realized that a software stuff like this could screw you like this. How does a chip fail because you try and update it? But thanks for your attempts at helping.

Do a search on bricking a device in these forums. I've seen very respected and senior users participate in "intentional bricking" so that it couldn't be powered up & discovered that it had been rooted. So while unethical, it does/has happened. One suggestion was to flash a radio that isn't compatible with the phone...although I do not know if it has/will work. But somewhere there is a thread for that..

Hey.
im all new to this with rooting a phone, did a test to root my phone with AAHK with no result, i can enter bootloader och recoverymode. but it stays on the white screen with htc logo when i start it up. I regret that I gotten myself into this because its to much for me. so now i will put my sd card in another phone to put over the PD98IMG.zip file there, and then load it up via my bootloader, and now to my question, when i enter that stock rom of PD98IMG, will it be in stock so i can upgrade the official android updates to 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 from there?
regards Kenny
Do a full wipe (cache, Dalvik & data) then flash any ROM you want (if you want a stock look and feel I suggest AndroidRevolutionHD or Leedroid)

Yup, but should you decide to root later down the line you'll have to downgrade

The inspire got an update from at&t last week (it's the phone I have). The hack kit can't root it yet - well, so was the message from last week. If you go to the irc room it's posted on top. I haven't checked since then.
The part about "what jave you read" is that the user is setting himself up to be spoon fed everyrhing. He needs to read. After have been answered that question, most likely he would come back and ask more questions. We should help but without spoon feeding them all the answers. A few are fine.
Edit: nevermind, coffee still hasn't kicked in. Just re-read hist post and it seems he is not interested in rooting anymore.
