I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP THIS POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL....
My device is a Sprint Samsung Epic 4g.
I was running SleeperROM with a MTD partition map and had CWM v5.0.2.7
I downloaded TWRP 2.5 and then rebooted into CWM.
I flashed the TWRP and once it completed it said to reboot recovery. Within CWM menu I selected 'Reboot Recovery'. Nothing happened. So I proceeded to do a battery pull to manually boot into recovery.
>>When I attempt to boot into recovery, it just hangs at the SAMSUNGwww.samsung.com screen. I tried the manual recovery boot by holding down:
a. Both volume buttons+camera+power (which always worked by releasing buttons after second SAMSUNG screen flashes)
b. Voume down+camera+power.
>>Device hangs at SAMSUNGwww.samsung.com screen when I attempt booting device.
>>I am able to get device into Download Mode. But upon connecting to PC (Windows XP) , I get the USB Device Not Recognized flag.
Device Manager lists it as Unknown Device.
I have tried all USB ports. I installed a PCI USB 2.0 card as well. All USB ports give same result.
I have tried 2 of my USB cables, 2 of my roomate's USB cables, and 1 of my neighbor's USB cable.
I have installed and uninstalled then following several times:
Samsung_Mobile_Driver_V1.3.800_For_SPH-d700_Epic_4G
Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0
Samsung_Usb_Drivers_x32
I tried getting drivers via PDANet, MobileGo, and Samsung Kies.
Heimdall's Zadig option lists device as Unknown Device, thus not possible.
I'm into my 8th hour of frustration. Any help would be appreciated.
