hows your battery? download mode and flashing really drains it. see if you can get some charge on it and try again.

I CAN get to download mode by holding 1+power then inserting the battery. But my PC's do not recognize the Device!

Cannot get to Recovery or charge the Phone.

The LED does NOT light, so I assume it's not charging but don't really know?

Let the battery drain out..then plug it in and see if it charges I guess...(just in case LED indicator doesnt work)

If it doesnt charge then..

How do Galaxy S devices get bricked when flashing?
Besides the inherent risks like power outs, accidental removal of the USB cable etc. Galaxy S devices appear to be running somewhat unreliable USB control software.

A failure to flash does not automatically equate to a fully bricked device. However if you’re extremely unlucky and the flash fails whilst transferring the primary boot-loader, secondary boot-loader or params.lfs (all quite small) than you’ve got yourself a paper weight until you can get it repaired via Samsung.

Stilll Bricked! I've tried 6 different PC's (XP, Vista, Windows 7) , and DG27 all the way up to DK28. I get a fail on either boot.bin, factoryfs, or param. Phone WILL still go into Download mode, but that's it!

Same thing with Heimdall. The only thing I havent tried is using a different cable, I only have one which is the original Samsung one, maybe it went bad. Does Sprint carry these?

Otherwise what's the going sell price for a bricked Epic? Lol

You dont have to sell it..bring it to sprint..if they dont want to replace it for a new one send it to samsung directly for warranty..
