I tried it Odin isn't recognize the device.

He's not in download mode anymore, this is just the phone telling you it doesn't have a connection to a machine to get boot informaion from and that there is no firmware to boot it self from.
Do a battery pull and read one of the other 99 threads with the same title as yours.

I did they all say pull the battery and hold both volume keys till you get into Download Mode (which isn't happening) then flash a new ROM. And those post are for other galaxy devices haven't seen one for the Epic.

what did you do before this happened?

You don't hold down the volume keys on the epic. You open the keyboard and hold the 1 key and the power at the same time. That will put you into download mode. Than odin should recognize your device.

Reboot computer and phone. Try a different USB port, try a different USB cable. Phone MUST be in download mode for this to work. Keep trying, if it fails, exit Odin, open it again and keep trying. Be sure to unplug and replug the USB cable between Odin attempts.
Some people have had success by removing the SD card prior to using Odin.
Keep trying, it can take multiple attempts before it works.

Its working Thanks your the best...

Make sure you're using latest version of odin 1.61 I think. Also make sure you put tar file in pda... not phone.

issues with Odin
I ran into a lot of issues getting Odin to flash the stock ROM on my Epic, including Odin errors, and Odin hanging on " SetupConnection..", but here's what I did to finally get this to work:
-pulled battery and SD card from Epic
-launched Odin just after a reboot of PC
-plugged into PC via USB and held power and the 1 key to get Epic into download mode (SD card and battery still pulled)
-used PIT: victory_8G_100528.pit
-used tar (in PDA section): SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar
-only had the option "auto-reboot" selected
With this scenario, I was finally able to get my Epic back to stock. Thanks to everyone who posted before me on this subject.
On a side note, I'm not 100% whether or not my phone was bricked, but it wouldn't get past the initial Samsung boot screen after I had tried to install some non standard software.

TMobile S4 Black Screen AFTER FAILED ROM UPDATE

Hello dear friends, this is my second phone from tmobile as they sent m a defective one before, I have been out of a phone for around a month or so, and finally got one that worked. I modded it and everything worked fine.
I downloaded and installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
Everything worked fine, until today the app "OTA Update" told me there was a new update for my firmware. I decided I would update it since I thought it was the latest version. The update installed and it reset my phone. When my phone reset, it went into TWRP Recovery mode, I already knew something went wrong but I decided to just restart the phone and see if it would still work.
Once I restarted my phone, the screen turned "beige color" (light brown) with a white line across, I started getting worried and removed the battery.
When I tried turning on the phone again, nothing would work. If I hit the power button I get a response from the phone with a vibration. However everything is black, I see no Samsung logo nothing, just a vibration. Also the 2 physical buttons next to the power button work and vibrate and sometimes turn on if I touch them.
Download Mode
It seems my phone can barely manage to get into download mode, by that I mean the screen will remain black, however If I press the button combination to enter download mode, the screen stays black, however in ODIN it says my device is connected. I tried installing the stock ROM however I get this status:
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I also tried reinstalling TWRP so that I could get some sort of recovery, however ODIN installs it fine, but when I try to boot into recovery, my screen remains black.
If I plug the phone into my computer it is recognized by the computer as SGH-M919 however there are no folders inside of it, and the phone's LED goes yellow to indicate it's charging.
How screwed am I? Is there anything I could possibly do to restore this phone back to normal? I have such a big headache right now, and I am desperate for answers. Google has yielded no results. Please, I ask someone who has been in this situation to help me.
Edit: I somehow managed to turn on the phone, HOWEVER the screen remains black. And I can press the volume keys and hear the phone raising the volume, if I press the key down it goes lower and lower and to vibrate. The whole time I turn on the phone the screen remains black. I can feel the touchpad vibrate when I press it (Im assuming im at the lockscreen), however I cannot see anything.
Edit #2: Somehow, I don't know how, I managed to get download mode working (still black screen), I used odin to flash the stock rom, here are the results:

S4 does not run anymore after flashing TWRP

Hey guys,
i gut some serious problems with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
I was running Cyanogen Mod 12.1 with CWM Recovery. After trying to update to CM13 and the appropriate Gapps i noticed some problems installing gapps with CWM. After searching the internet i decided to try it with TWRP instead of CWM. So i used the App Rashr Flash Tool to Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
After flashing TWRP i rebooted the device and got stuck at the Samsung welcome screen. In the right upper corner is displayed the following:
RECOVERY BOOTING. . . .
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Unfortunatelly the phone does not load the recovery or start the OS. The only option i recognized is to enter the download mode by pushing Home + Vol.Down + PWR.
So i tried to use Odin to reinstall TWRP correctly over download mode and this is what Odin puts out.

When i now restart the phone i got following message on the screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
After installing Kies it says that my device is not supportet...
So no i have no idea what else i can do to get my phone running again...
Does anyone has an idea?
Best Regards and thanks

Did you try flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com?
Maybe use Odin to flash the latest version of TWRP to see if you can enter recovery?

The solution is easy. Use a different usb port / different usb cable.

Well a different USB-Port got me one step further.
It seems that odin flashed the recovery successfully:

After that my phone booted back into my current android / cm OS
Unfortunatelly, if i try to reboot directly into the recovery, i get stuck in the samsung welcome screen again. Means i can not access the recovery...

Use a different recovery thats my advice, i have a same issue as you maybe someone could help me, i open a new thread there also

Try this: unchecked everything except f.reset time in Odin before flashing TWRP, connect phone, flash TWRP, when you see the word "RESET" in the status windows, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery. When the phone powers up, let the power button go but keep holding home and volume up.

somehow i fixed it...
i re-re-reflashed twrp and suddenly everything went fine.
Thanks for your help and real quick responses!
great forum!

Tried to flash my phone with an older kernal and now i'm stuck in recovery mode.

Hello the phone I'm using is s5 active at&t.
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776
used this G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
But for some reason everything went to the dumps. I then looked up some guides and got a stock firmware from sammobile G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4_G870AUCU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5
Odin recognizes the phone as it shows it in the ID:COM area but then it fails.

this is what appears on my phone: sw rev check fail fused 2 binary 1
My first time trying to root. It brings me to the recovery screen with a bunch of options and I'm capable of getting it to the download screen holding volume, home, power.
Please any help would be great.
edit. also tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8481Qm0l010 didn't do anything, but it passed on odin
edit. trying this guide out doing note.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733
edit I went through this process a few times http://www.modifyandroid.com/stock-...ck-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s5-active-sm-g870a/ and it always fails on odin

This is what the recovery menu looks like
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
enable cp logging
disable cp logging
My main problem right now is that it fails whenever I try to flash it with a stock rom. But when I flash it with a kernal or other stuff it passes.

Help on installing firmware samsung SM-G930A AT&T mobile!!

Hello,
Ineed help on installing stock firmware too for samsung s7 SM-G930A AT&T mobile.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz4qV62uoY6aQXpfZWpRV0MxUkE
These are errors videos. I'm stuck here with this issue
I rooted my phone, ran the S7 fixes script, the debloat script, then the root seemed to work fine for a day. Then the wireless charging stopped working, then it unplugged and replugged itself over and over and over in the charging mode, like it "recognizes" the charging cable over and over all day long while it's plugged into the charger, making the "beep beep" sound that it makes when you plug in the charger. So I rebooted the phone to see if it would fix it, and now it hangs at the at&t logo screen forever. I can't power it down. I can get into odin mode, but odin fails every time I try to reinstall the factory ROM. I tried to clear the cache, but it didn't work. I tried booting into recovery mode, but it fails. basically I've tried just about everything to unbrick and it's still bricked.
also note that I used odin 3.12.3, the lastest. and I tried to install G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary, which fails every time.
also tried smartswitch, but the program just shuts off instantly after entering the SN in the device initialization in the emergency software and device initialization tab.
I enter the SN and hit okay and then it just shuts down the program, it just disappears.

try using odin prince comesy, and make sure your using the latest firmware PI2. Try installing the PI2 firmware with odin 3.12.3. should work.

rzenks, I just had literally the exact same problem as you for the past day. I tried so many firmwares and the Smart Switch recovery option, but had the same problems as you did. I thought I was going to be killed by my dad, as my phone was only 6 days old. But after a lot of specific search results, I found a firmware that worked for my phone.
You can find the firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...4api3-firmware-download-t3481159#post69147585
Also be sure to use the Odin3 v3.12 Prince Comsy, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/odin-3-12-3-worlds-att-s7-odin-firmware-t3401470
Let me know if it works for you.

Why are you flashing such old firmware?? PB5 is SEVERAL updates back. I've uploaded the latest FW, try it. That's probably why it's failing.

when it says fused while in DL mode it means you are trying to flash a firmware thats older than the current firmware.
