Hello everyone,
i am fairly new to the world of rooting and recently encountered a problem while flashing a rom
i have the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 N-900A running 4.3 jellybean (2 year contract expired and i got and used the unlock code)
i rooted the phone using the kingo root app, because i could not update the phone (I recently moved out of the USA so i cant connect to an at&t server to update)
i installed safestrap recovery 3.71 and it was running fine
i found a tutorial from galaxy note 3 root for the knoxraid ro
(put youtube. c o m here) /watch?v=8HDHt4xSnQY
according to the tutorial i had to install the rom over the stock rom file
so i copied the stock rom to rom slot 1
this is where i messed up, i installed the knoxraid rom over the stock rom without wiping/data factory reset first. But it gets worse, i realized i forgot to wipe the data from safestrap so before the install was even halfway completed, i pulled the battery out.
now whenever i turn it on it will go straight to recovery mode
it wont even turn off. i have to pull the battery out.
i can get to download mode and recovery mode but thats it.
im not sure about the build number because it wont boot up
all i can tell you is it is a at&t note 3 running 4.3 jellybean
please help if you can
btw: my computer wont recognize the phone because it says the PHONE does not have the correct drivers installed
however odin still recognizes it with the blue box with 0:[COM6] if that helps
so yeah please help me the phone is fairly new and i dont want to waste $600

thanks in advance
I was trying to root my at&t s6 edge+ using Odin. As soon as the process completed, my phone froze on Samsung screen. Then I tried wiping cache and data but nothing worked. I downloaded few stock ROM for Odin but flashing keeps on failing. I read in some thread that new Samsung devices do not support downgrading. I went and checked my current build number and found that to be G928AUCS4CPK1. However, the firmware I was trying to flash were older version.
Has anyone experienced similar issue before? The main problem here is I cannot find the exact build number anywhere. I spent a lot of time searching and finally decided to post here.
Your valuable suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
hey man, you flashed an older version of the firmware? even if it wasnt bricked, your phone is essentially useless now. the efs is gone, meaning you cant make phonecalls or connect to wifi at all. sorry; your phone is bricked. perm.
download mode dosen`t work ?if so the only thing you can try is to use samsung kies to restore your phone but don`t know if that works
I done something similar to my standard S6 Edge the only difference was i was able to start it up ok and i thought everything was ok until i realised i had no reception. I so happened to notice my imei number was gone. I had no back ups of the partition that saved this info so i totally bricked my phone.
I did however find a website that would be able to do a work around ( for a fee of course) for it however it does question your morals as its essentially illegal in alot of countries. I dont want to post anything on here so if you want any info send me a PM.
Exact same thing happened to me... went to AT&T repair center but they didn't have the 'K1' firmware..
anyhow managed to find the latest firmware (gsm-firmware.com)... cost me $4, but the phone is up and running... I only flashed the AP file.. also used Odin 3.12.5..
Hello, a friend of mine gived me an hard bricked phone.
As written in the title the phone is a Samsung galaxy A5 2016, SM510F.
Is not the first time I do things like that, but this phone is quite frustrating to work with.
I tried everything on this phone but the only thing that it does is the download mode.
It has no hardware problems, everything is working fine. The battery can't be removed.
I obviously tried to let it charge for long time. It does not even shows the battery icon while charging.
No boot, no logo.
I tried flashing 2 different version of the original ROM downloaded from SamMobile with Odin.
I tried an old and a new one.
I tried Flashing the Bootloader extracted from the ROM.
I tried flashing the 4 part ROM.
I tried flashing the PIT, since i suspected that my friend somehow cleard NAND while he was trying to flash the Root.
But out of this I get nothing. Odin gives a success but the phone only turned off and did not reboot.
I ask you if you have some different ideas, some similar experiences or some advices.
If you have some files please remember that I'm italian, so I need ITV.
I have no more ideas. Otherwise I will tell my friend to try to go to a samsung center.
Thanks.
You can try install custom recovery
Hi guys, today I made a big mistake by thinking that it would be so easy to root on my S5 +, I was wrong, because it appear that I had the bootloop problem, i resolved it by mistake i was so lucky, I tried to put a BootLoader on Odin on AP section, an error occured on my phone, It reset it and it did come back to life Yeah WTF right ? So now that i've got my phone back ! I'm happy but still, I'm worry about my sim and I want to know if someone is listening to me (because strange things happened lately), that's why I did some research and It appear that an app does exist to prevent such thing ! it's called Snoopsnitch, Amazing isn't it ?
I've got hope that you might be able to help me to root my phone properly this time and avoiding the loopboot issue. If you can led me to do it, it would be amazing.
There is my config. I wish you a good day, night or whatever you are doing on this planet. Kiss. :victory:

Sorry i'm new and i'm not allowed to share my image link so I had to trick the system ><
Thanks for your time and your answers guys. :highfive:
Oh hi, im having the boot loop / logo problem too.
could you explain more clearly what you did to resolve that and is it still good to this day?
ive already used odin3 v3.11 and put the latest stock firmware successfully but the phone still boot loops or if lucky it will get passed the carrier screen (O2) but then as soon as i restart the phone it will boot loop again. (or boot loop randomly, if i dont restart it myself, eventually).
I havent tried TWRP or PIT as im a basic user and just wanted the stock rom.
Any updated advice? ...im worried its the memory/emmc/hardware prob
thanks
I have only used stock roms on this phone. I originally upgraded my phone from a UK carphone warehouse rom 6.1 (B2017G UKV1.0.0B01)? I think?? That was a few years ago and upgraded to Nougat using the methods used in this forum.
I found that the wifi would sometimes disappear from the phone and you would have to reboot the phone to get wifi working again. That is ok but after about 3 times of having to do this over a period of a few months it would go again BUT then would then need a factory reset to get the wifi going again! After a year of doing three factory resets
i tried to revert to the older MM 6.1.
I used a ROM that i downloaded from here when i first done upgraded
anyhow i placed ROM in SD and proceeded with the downgrade it went fine up to 81% then got stuck then i restarted the phone again and it got stuck again, so i tried to flash from the SD in recovery mode instead and it says "sorry you can`t sdcard upgrade" so i then pressed reboot system and then it just hangs a the logo.!!
I have rooted phones in the past my last was an LGG2, and a brilliant tool was available so you could flash any stock rom back onto the phone if you had any trouble with custom or stock roms. but there does not seem to be any such tool from ZTE.
If you can help in any way?, i would be delighted!!
THANKS!!
(Soz if i posted in wrong area!)
I got the phone booted through EDL and EDL tool & backup files provided by this site. It took me a while to find all the info i needed.
Also renaming the files from boot to boot.img etc in the edl folder took a bit to work out as the tool kept telling me the files were insufficient!
All good now managed to downgrade to 6.1 UK ...Thanks XDA!!
