For future use, NEVER, EVER remove the USB while flashing. Unless you wait at least an hour and nothing happens. Had it been flashing the recovery/bootloader right then you may have bricked your device.
Also, while flashing it may appear to hang. It isn't always the case.

have you tried remove battery and put it back ?
mine have same problem this moring, hope it'll help :fingers-crossed:
I came here to post about the exact same issue. Went to bed last night, phone was working fine. Woke up and the phone was dead. At first I thought it was kind of odd because it had over 50% charge when I went to sleep but I just assumed that the battery died. Plugged it in but still nothing, changed to the spare battery and plugged it in and let it charge for 4 hours but still wont turn on.
The phone has spent it's whole life in an otterbox defender and is in otherwise mint condition, running the latest stock rom/firmware. What would cause a phone to just up and die?
Update:
Took the battery out of the phone and left it out for about a minute, put back in and the phone powered up. Strange.

Choose install manually, then have disk. Browse to where you extracted the zip, select the 'inf' file in usb_drv_windows
I have tried querying these guys yet no luck

d710 icsFL24 stuck in bootloop after installing agat recovery

I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

Good, at least you're up and running

Reset back to stock

I recently got a Epic 4G Touch from a friend who was upgrading. After messing around with it, I decided to try get CyanogenMod running on it. To make a long story short, I can no longer get the phone to boot, but I do have access to the AGAT custom recovery. I know I could use OdinExecution, but the phone is no longer recognized by Windows when plugging in USB - probably after flashing the kernel.
My question is what should I do from here? The only other way to get data onto the phone would be microSD, unless I can get USB working (I doubt). I was pretty foolish to go into this without more reading, and for that I apologize.

If you can get into recovery, I would try going here and flashing one of the zips found there.

If by chance you can get into download mode and if the links are not working you can always use this

Thanks for the reply,
I managed to get a custom ROM installed, so at least I'm able to use the phone. Now I need to figure out how to get USB working again. I took a snapshot of the device screen:

Is there perhaps a compatible kernel I can try?

It appears to get to the part where it starts to load the OS. In this case try to get into recovery. If you can get into recovery, great! Then just adb sideload the latest ROM from OnePlus.

How to do that without unlocking BL?

Not that I'm aware of, you might want to try a Factory Data Reset first. After doing the appropriate backups first of course.
If that fails, unlock the BL, flash stock. Once you verify it works lock the BL again. You might have to FDR again to get the Play Store to show Certified if clearing data under Apps doesn't work.
I wish I could still trust my Robin, but I have a battery heating issue that nothing seems to fix. Hence my signature showing my former backup phone as my DD.
