I am hoping somebody can assist me with my Galaxy SII phone. I attempted to root it this morning and was able to connect it to Odin3Excution V1.81. The main title shows "E4GT FI27 Stock No Data". Once I connected the cell phone it generated a 0:[COM4] message. It went through all the steps but got stuck on the very last one (I believe it is the very last one) <ID:0/004> modem.bin. After waiting approximately 30 minutes, I disconnected the phone and turned it off. Once it turned in, it gave the following message "Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I attempted to get into recovery mode by using all possible button combinations (volume down and power), (volume up/down and power) but I still get the same message. I started Odin again and connected the phone and it went through the same load steps but it is once again stuck on <ID:0/004> modem.bin. So at this point of time I am not sure if it is a matter of just waiting for this step to clear (however I have been 45 minutes patient and it never gets past it).
Can someone lend me a helping hand to get this issue resolved? Thanks in advance and I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. I have included an image of where I am currently stuck.

Have you tried using Odin v1.83?
OP, you have an SPH-D710; which is an Epic 4g Touch. This post is currently in the i9100 forum. A totally different device that doesn't even work on Sprint's network.
Go to the Epic 4g Touch forum for help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281

Did you pull out the cable?
Did you pull out the battery? (Won't recommend it, wait till it dies then pull out)
If you did these things allready. Put the battery back, does it do anything? Or does it do anything when you try to recharge? If nothing (or only showing you the battery) you probably need a USB jig.
This happened once before, when I tried updating my phone to ICS. Here's a little background info. I've got a SGH-i727 (AT&T GS 2 Skyrocket). I hook my phone up to Kies, which surprisingly recognizes my phone and says it has an update. I had 4.0.4 originally. I hit update and it downloads the update and while installing it gets stuck at 1% and freezes and eventually Kies says update failed.
Right now I'm stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I can't access download mode (volume up/and down and power button) or (volume up/down and connect usb cord when phone is off). Eventually both take me back to the Firware upgrade encountered screen, with the big yellow triangle that always shows up.
The last time this happened, when upgrading to ICS, by some miracle Kies actually recognized my soft-bricked phone and I was able to apply the recovery upgrade. But I can't for the life of me get Kies to recognize it this time. I've literally tried uninstalling and reinstalling and then restarting at every step in between.
I would use Odin software, but I have a mac. I really need help on this.
Yesterday I glanced over to my Samsung Galaxy S3 to see the startup logo (as below) just stuck on my screen. The one that says "Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300".
Here's as much useful info about my phone as I can think of:
I have never tried to root my phone, or do any other modding to it
I bought it second hand from a friend, who says they have not done anything of the sort either. I did a fresh install of what I think was Android 4.3 when I got it
I live in the UK and I think the phone is from the UK too, originally tied to a provider but is now unlocked.
I obviously attempted to reboot the phone. I held down the power button and after quite a few seconds the screen went black, then I let go and instantly the same startup logo reappeared. I tried again, without releasing the power button this time, same result.
I tried plugging in the charger, held down the power button, and it then went to a sort-of charging screen. There was a little grey icon on the battery, appearing as though it was not charging.
It wasn't showing the usual charging animation, rather a different one with a greyed battery icon. Holding down the power button on this screen performed the same as with the original logo screen, it just looped.
Here's what I then tried, in order:
removing the battery for 5, 10, 30 minutes. No luck.
leaving it at the startup screen for 30 minutes. No luck
gently tapping the side of the phone, in case the power button was stuck. No luck.
entering RECOVERY MODE and CLEARING CACHE PARTITION. No luck.
entering RECOVERY MODE and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. No luck.
downloaded Kies and connected phone to PC via USB. Kies recognised that the phone was connected but it would stick at the "connecting" screen. I tried multiple USB cables and multiple USB ports, both front and rear of PC. No luck.
I then downloaded Odin and attempted to 'flash' (not good with the terminology, excuse any mistakes I make) my phone using various firmwares I found on the internet. I tried the md5 file both in the PDA and PHONE boxes. I kept downloading "BTU" firmwares(?), read that's what I want somewhere. The file name is "I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5". However I kept encountering various errors, ranging from "there is no PIT partition", to "can't open the serial(com) port". Basically it would always fail.
I tried 5 different versions of Odin - 3.10, 3.9, 3.7, 3.04, 1.85. No luck, same errors.
I then tried uninstalling Kies, ending all processes related to it, and retrying Odin. Still no luck, getting the same serial(com) port error.
I then tried to use a "GT-9300.pit" file that I found online, in the PIT section of Odin. No luck
MY CURRENT SITUATION:
Having tried all of the above, my phone no longer enters recovery mode. When I boot my phone it goes to the following firmware upgrade error screen saying "Firmware upgrade encounteerd an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
It allows me to enter DOWNLOAD MODE, but not RECOVERY MODE. It loops in the same behaviour as previous screens. Even when on charge it shows this screen now.
I have tried my best to include everything I can so I can get more appropriate help. I do not have any experience with phones and I have tried everything I can by myself, hopefully someone here can help!
Long story,if you know what is Teamviewer i can help you. It would take long time to troubleshoot what you did wrong. Best thing would be to start from scratch.

Thank you so much for your offer to help!
I do know what Teamviewer is! I've used it for many years
I also have Skype and a webcam (for showing the phone), so that would be very useful too..
Ok,we don,t need Skype. It's not important for me to see the phone. I will tell you what to prepare,what to download so we can be fast and productive

OK I screwed up. I would appreciate any help here. Rogers S6 Edge, G925W8. It was stock 5.0.2.
Wanted to try a ROM so flashed TWRP, then flashed Kingfisher ROM v1.1 (it seemed the safest / W8-friendly). ROM was fantastic (much better battery), but GPS would never lock.
Tried to start over by flashing stock Rogers 5.0.2 via Odin but it wouldn't flash. I read (a little too late) that downgrading isn't something Samsung enjoys. Argh!
Then out of desperation, I flashed the BL (BL_G925W8VLU2BOH8_5.1.1.tar) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/canadian-odin-5-1-1-bootloader-twrp-t3196595 , which was a very bad move, I assume because I wasn't on 5.1.1 to begin with. Crap!!
So now the phone gets to the Galaxy S6 edge splash screen, with "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING", and it stays there. The phone also gets very warm, and I can't shut it off. Using VolDown+Power+Home reboots it (showing the same message) but doesn't shut it off. Using VolUp+Power+Home reboots it but only says the same thing about Recovery.
Please tell me that I didn't just brick this phone!!
UPDATE:
Am able to get the phone into Download/Odin mode by holding the 3 buttons (voldown+power+home) while plugging the phone into USB. The stock Rogers image refuses to flash (Odin says fail immediately), but I am a step closer thanks to @brar.arsh's thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/canada-galaxy-s6-edge-canadian-users-t3069314 )
From there I grabbed the "S6 Edge Stock Firmware OG2" which comes in 4 parts (BL, AP, CP, and CSC). I added all 4 pieces to Odin and started flash. Boot.img and recovery flashed, but then during the system.img flash, it failed about half-way through. Right after that failure, something changed because the device now became "Unknown Device" to windows, and it complained that "a USB device has malfunctioned, and Windows no longer recognizes it".
This gave me hope that I could get into Recovery (since that flash was successful), but the phone likes to boot directly to the "The update failed so please launch Smart Switch" message - regardless of starting with VOLUP+PWR+HOME button combination. So no recovery access... but making progress.
I belive I initiated a flash that contained JUST the BL, CP, and CSC portions, and it passed quickly. This, of course, isn't enough to get the system going. I just wanted to see if it would fail in other areas.
Trying the emergency flash via Smart Switch: Smart Switch said it required the phone to be in Recovery mode, but it still attempted the fix even though I was in Odin/Download mode. Good news, but unfortunately it gave the same result - a failure at around 50% of the entire flash operation.
I have tried re-flashing the AP portion several times and it fails at different progressions (50%, 75%, 90%)... so close.
I was thinking that it was maybe a power issue (since the battery was completely dead during the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" period, with no way to turn the phone off or pull battery), I wondered if the battery just needed a little juice before starting the operation. I let it stay plugged in for a few minutes after one of the many failed flash attempts (screen was illuminated with the progress bar frozen at the point of failure). I noticed that when I unplugged it, it didn't die immediately, so I plugged it back in (getting the "USB device has malfunctioned" message again), and forced it to restart by holding the VOLDOWN+PWR+HOME buttons). It got back into Odin mode and the PC recognized it again. Loaded up just the AP portion in Odin, hit Start, left the room, and when I came back it said PASS! I cannot prove that it had any battery power from this method... or if it even helped. This could have just been a fluke.
The phone automatically rebooted into Recovery mode (which scared me) so I hit Power Down.
Rebooted the phone - I hear the lame Samsung startup song, and it is booting. Hallelujah.
