please help, i am bricked!!! - Epic 4G General

I was trying to unroot my epic so i could flash an EL039 rom on my phone and was using odin but noticed that the download bar was not appearing on my epic. I unplugged it from the computer and now just have an epic , exclamation point, and computer when i attempt to power up. i can still however get in to download mode. please help me.

1) you are not bricked if you can get to download mode
2) find the post for going back to factory. You will have to use odin. There is also a post something like "restoring from the brink". I think that one is a sticky. [Edit] it is in the roll up sticky thread in the development section. "[How to] restore a semi-bricked epic from the brink". Took two minutes to find on my phone... [/edit]
3) search before posting (not trying to be an asshole)

What a guy. I wish I had that much time and patience but good for you being so helpful.

Thank you everyone who was willing and helpful. I got it back up and right now on stock rom, EL30. Is there a rom out there that you guys prefer for both performance and candy?

You're about to get 400 people saying CM9. I prefer TW Roms like Legendary (no EL30 yet.)

I like cm7 for 2.3 (stable, themes on the market, awesomeness) and cm9 is still in testing phase and has its fair share of issues. Try both and see.

I need a good rom

I just rooted my Epic, and I need to know, what is the best, most stable Froyo rom out?
Sent from my Epic 4G
they're all awesome.
They are all (mostly) stable.
Try one on and see how it fits.
If you don't like it, flash another. It's not too terribly addicting.
It all depends on what you are looking for. Me personally I like the Frankenstein rom but I had radio issues and switched to the midnight rom and it runs very well.

Why do questions like this even get asked? If there were ROMs that were inferior in every way, such that preference had no bearing... they wouldn't be on the first page or two of the forum.
You are going to have a favorite. Go start trying stuff like everyone else did.
Like I've said a million times that this question was asked. What works for others might not work for you. Flash to you find one you like
Sent From Da Hood.
When I first started flashing I had the same questions and it is nice to be pushed in the right direction. Which gain it is all personal preference. Some roms run better than others but then some roms have the theming that some people are looking for. So my suggestion is read through some of them and the change logs look at some of the screenshots in the threads and flash it if you like what you see. Once you have flashed a couple times you won't hesitate to do it again and again and again to try the different ones there are. I think I have tried 7 or 8 different roms on my epic and 7 or 8 when I had my evo and I was constantly switching from one to the next to the next back to one I had previously and so on depending on the updates that had been applied and the different changes that were made. So try them all then go back to what you like. When you have found what you like stick with it until another version comes out with an update try it and see if you like it. It does get a little bit addicting. It is very hard to brick an epic because of the capabilities of flashing back using odin. So don't hesitate in flashing as many as you like.
Thanks everyone, I'll start trying some tonight.
Edit: ok I found one that looks promising but I have no idea how these modem things work. I never had to do that to install roms on my hero. Anyway, how do I install a modem?

I'd be interested to see how different it is. I liked your last version for the most part, but boot up time was way too long. Would be nice to see the additional apps/add-ons included so they don't have to be installed individually (or maybe provide them as a pack somehow?) In general, it's a great ROM though.

I would avoid odin as much as possible just my opinion, i would much rather flash the dk28 modem with the flashable zip and noobnls stock dk28 rom first:

CM7 TV Tube Animation

I tried searching and I even searched google but could not come up with anything good. I recently rooted my phone and am now running FR008, like many of you I am waiting for a stable CM7 mod until then I'll stick with my froyo. However, I know someone who is running CM7 and I noticed the TV Tube animation when locking your phone.
Is it possible to get just the animation somehow?
BTW great forum, I learn new stuff everyday and if it wasn't for you guys I would have never rooted my phone.

Or just switch to CM7...as of right now, i.e. with the current build, there isn't anything that ISN'T "stable" about it...to put it bluntly, you're going to spend a lot of time trying to accomplish this when you could spend less than half that time just flashing the latest nightly of cm7 and leaving it at that...don't even have to worry about the following nightlies until an RC or stable release...that's what i would do if i were you...

Sorry, just quoting for this golden phrase, lol.
And go ahead, flash CM7, is pretty awesome and stable.
Lol why was that a golden phrase?
I read a couple threads about some people having problems that's why I'm scared to try it.
Nevermind going to flash tomorrow

Do exactly as is instructed and you won't have any issues. TBH I don't know why the nightlies aren't RC ready.

I'm really enjoying CM7 but have one question. How does the uprading work?
Cyanogen comes out with nightly updates, do I need to keep updating?
Everytime I upgrade do I need to format and install the new rom?

You just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache then install the nightly builds. There's links to the builds in the CM7 topic
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
will it overwrite my previous cm7 nightly setting and apps and stuff?
You'll keep your settings and apparently as long as you don't wipe data. It will just update your current rom

You can thank the devs by using the "Thanks" button or by donating. Cluttering the forum doesn't help anyone.

well i mean it all depends.. the epic is getting gingerbread soon enough, with some help the cm7 team will get a bit more fixed to almost be worth using everyday.. if yall get cm7 working fully then when the nexty version hits yall will prolly get that one too and have a way to keep up in updates it boils down to the hardware aspect at that point..

it's because of how it was packed. netarchy was walking me through some of it. he fixed the file for me not sure how though. and no i dont have it anymore to upload the fixed one. thats the reason why it doesn't work though. something about ignoring garbage data option or something. i can't remember i was really tired.
Can you re-up this? I need the WiMAXSettings.apk
Is it possible to find the stock recovery in this? I just want a backup in case any warranty issues arise.
or...
If someone could point me in the correct direction I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Is your Nook Color completely stock? Are you talking about upgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.2?
If so, instructions for installing 1.2 can be found here:

Dude, I am so sorry! I misclicked a name and got yours. What I am after is updating my cm7 from the 7.0 stable to the new nightly with the new kernel. Just afraid of the switch because of the kernel. Sorry to waste your time. The funny thing is, I have been waiting for a reply in his name. Thought maybe I pissed him off, just my own stupidity.
