Your phone is probably not bricked if you can enter download mode.

Have you tried a different cable??? Also, for now - just to see if your phone is in bad shape, I would try to download a stock DI18 or something. Maybe the ROM image you have is corrupted.

Why would you odin in the first place when we have the flashable.zips... Much easier. Just go back into download mode and reodin and you should be just fine.

i found the right cable but odin still wont find my phone =/. thats the problem is that odin wont do anything because it wont see my phone in download mode i DID get into CWM and tried reinstalling my roms and stuff but when it gets done installing whatever i want to install it restarts and goes to the whole phone and computer icon

Look through the general section in this forum and go to the how to video thread. It will show you how to properly use odin. There is also a video showing you how to update to ec05. Id post the link but I'm on my phone.

This happened to me and I had to pull my battery and start up in download mode again. Try that.

did what that guide said to do i put in download mode and plug my cable in and still no go it will not connect to computer nothing comes up in odin. i tried takin battery out and sd card and putting them back in and no go (also did with out battery in the phone)

I thought my phone was bricked it was stuck, I had pulled the battery out several times and nothing, so I left the battery out for a couple of hours and when I put the battery back in it started working, not sure why just happy it did, word to the wise sprint wont work on the phone unless you have everything back to stock, I tried before leaving the battery out, before I got to sprint the phone wouldnt do anything let it off over night to take to sprint to try and get a new one I figured since it wont boot at all they will never know, but as luck would have it when I got to sprint after giving up on the phone and leaving it off over night, the sprint rep turns it on and it goes straight to clock work :0, its worth a try

Did you install the samsung drivers?? Did you try different micro usb cables?

tried different cables, different computers, different drivers, still nothing

Good news: As long as you can enter Download mode on your phone, it should not be bricked

Bad news: there are many reasons a computer would not see a phone in download mode

1) wrong/bad drivers
2) bad cable
3) bad/flakey USB port on computer
4) bad/flakey usb port on phone

my tip: With the phone in download mode, instead of trying to use ODIN, download the EB13 SWUpdate exe and try using that. It will wipe the phone just like ODIN, but is a lot less tempermental, and almost foolproof compaired to ODIN, and will retore the phone to stock EB13, at which point the EC05 update can be copied to the SD Card and then run to update to EC05
