Hello and welcome brian!
Sorry about your issues there but can you try a different usb cord or port on the computer? Or uninstall, then reinstall the samsung usb drivers .
What carrier are you with?

 

If all else fails I would try the ODIN return to stock guide, r910 files for metro pcs, and the 915 files are for cricket.

 

Sorry I posted that a long time ago and had just signed up. Was away for a while and forgot all about the first post by brian. I am back again now as androkie. lol Thank u for the replies and i am on metro pcs by the way. I've been trying to get into all this rooting, roming, etc. but looks like i need to learn quite a bit more to become something at it. Maybe Android SDK or something. Any suggestions anyone? I would like to develope something or at least learn how. I am also looking for a new career since i have pretty much exusted myself with hard labor thats broke me down a bit. I have kids also and no help at this time at all. Anyone have any hints for me in the developer world? P.S. I am rooted, but no purple cwm recovery like before. I bricked once and returned to stock and restarted the process and keep getting dns error everywhere i have searched for aio.indulge.root3.1.1. Any help or links would be very helpful please. I am crunched for time w/no job, kids running around and trying to come up with $ to get my ol' laidy out of jail w/no help from anyone. Can someone point me in the right direction. wtd

 

And thank you again brooklyn227 and mikestony for responding to the thread it was very helpful advise. I like the link to the clean rom. Sounds like thats what i would like. Its a dum question but i got to ask - will that work on the indulge r910. Had to ask even tho i searched for indulge on the clean rom site, no results. Im not going to be able to get a good phone for a good while but i sure have become addicted to tinkering with phones. just havent dug to deep to anything i dont know about os files. yeah i need to learn. lol just scared to mess something up on any phone im using.
