[Q] Bricked after NE6 bootloader flash

hey guys,
i tried the new rom by civato, for this i flashed the NE6 bootloader. the rom didn't work as expected (no data) so i tried to restore the stock rom NB7 via odin.
odin said succes, but the phone did not boot. i flashed cwm and flashed som roms from there, but i always got a freeze/bootloop, even after factory reset.
so i tried a full new flash with nand erase all. flash succeded, but i could not boot.
then i downloaded the N9005ZHUENE6 firmware from hongkong and tried to flash it, but odin always fails. now i get the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue." message and can't do anything with the phone anymore.
Can you please help me?
thank you in advance!
edit: problem solved, the NE4 pit file from sajjjjjjad did the job!

Head over to the HK thread(s) and see how to restore back to normal with Hong Kong variants it's a little different (you do have a HK version I assume? and not just risked an HK FW flash?)--- You can flash via ODIN again even with that error on the device.

Is there a difference between the international N9005 and the HK variant? my N9005 is from germany. i flashed the german firmware again and the error is gone, but the device is still in the bootloop..

Very slightly yes. More to do with some HK Software issues, that's the only N9005 firmware which shouldn't/can't be flashed on every device model N9005 - regarding your bootlooping.
Grab a PIT file, sort out what firmware you use and match them, then flash via Odin, there are a few guides and it's pretty straightforward, however you need to read properly or you risk a hard-brick.

I flashed the latest DBT firmware a couple of times, with a PIT file and without, with full nand erase and without. Odin always says passed but i get no boot sound and the device gets stuck at the boot animation.
I think the problem could be the NE6 bootloader i flashed, but if i flash the NE6 again after i flashed the NB7 firmware it doesn't boot either. Is it possible to downgrade the bootloader to another KitKat firmware?

thanks for the tip, do you have a source for the NE5? i can't find a download for this.

You can use www.sammobile.com/firmwares.
Make sure you have the correct pit file as you changed it to the hk version before

on this site i can't find a NE5 version. i flashed the ND6, device didn't boot.
so i tried to flash cwm, worked fine. then i was able to install and boot the latest cm11, but the baseband, min, prl-version, meid, imei and iccid are shown as unknown. so i tried to restore the efs backup i made via terminal emulator, it looks like it worked but when i reboot nothing changed.
any other ideas?

Hong Kong firmware is not for the international version. Hk phone is 16gb only and had different partition. So don't bother with it.
There is the NE5 firmware on sammobile site. I downloaded it from there. ..

If your baseband is NB4/ND4/NE6 then you cannot downgrade however you can
upgrade if when any updates are available.

Why can't I flash a stock rom from a different country? Odin says "FAIL! Size".

Hey guys,
Got a G900I from Taiwan. I live in Australia. I went to www.sammobile.com and downloaded the latest unbranded Australia rom. Went to flash it with Odin. Odin got about 95% through then failed saying "FAIL! Size".
Any idea what the issue is? I the successfully flashed the latest Taiwan rom with no issues. I can deal with using the Taiwan rom, I'm just more curious what the issue is from a learning stand point. I never had any problems like this with my S3 and flashing other country's roms.

On Galaxy Note 3, Taiwan and Hong Kong devices are NOT compatible with other stock firmwares. It is due to they have different PIT files.
So it may also be the case with the S5.

Admittedly I'm not sure what this means, but both original and active claim to be "BRI".

Ok, BRI is for Taiwan.
In order to flash unbrand firmware on your phone, you should have PIT file from that firmware, and flash this PIT file together with the firmware via Odin.

Thanks. I can do some research from here. But seeing as you've been a great help, do you know if there is a good website for archiving PIT files?
(PS. Not sure what the guy above this comment is asking or why it's relevant to this convo =/)

You can ask someone who owns S5 in this forum for help. It needs root to extract the PIT file.
in order to extract the PIT file, install Terminal Emulator and enter the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/S5.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
Then copy the S5.pit file on the sdcard.
BTW, can you upload your PIT file from your own Taiwan S5?

Sure. Here ya go.

If you do have PIT file from another (international) S5, please send me so I will compare partition structures to see if any difference.

What does it take to convince people to make a backup BEFORE flashing/wiping anything?
Why have custom recovery and not use the most important feature?
Sombody here can make a backup of the modem with twrp and then you can flash that.

please any one help

no one can help ?

Why not just update to A710FXXU1APBA?

Possible to install european ROM on an asian/korean A5?

A friend of mine has a asian galaxy A5. Is it possible to install a european firmware on it? At the moment the language can only be chosen between asin and english. Also there are problems with the Play-Store.
Sadly I can't find much information about the model.
Here are some specs:
Buildnumber: LRX22G.A500HXXU1BOJ1
Kernel version: 3.10.49-5979747
Knox version: 2.4
Base Band: A500HXXU1BOF6
TeamAndroid says, that the firmware is from Uzbekistan? Link
Is the hardware of the Galaxy A5 similar in all regions?
Any help would be appreciated

The Model Number is SM-A500H. Until now I don't have the device, only screenshots.
Did you install the rom with samsung kies? Will the A5 receive original OTA-Updates when I've installed the european rom? Can you guide me through the process?
It would be nice if you can give me further information. Do I have to root the device before installing the european firmware?
Thanks in advance!

That sounds good! Which tool did you use to root your device?
Flashing a deodexed Rom on a stock Rom base means, that further official Samsung updates will not be installed, am I right?

Flashing (stock) ROM with a different carrier on Note 4 N910F

Hey guys,
So it's been a couple years since i've been on this forum, and i had a question.
Like most of you, i've been waiting to update to android marshmallow (and i want the official ROM), but the one for my carrier isn't out yet (T-Mobile Netherlands). But on Sammobile i saw some other stock roms for the N910F who already had the update. Is it possible to just flash one of them via Odin? They all have the same PDA & CSC, so it would look like it's not a problem.
Thanks in advance, Sam
PS: English isn't my native language, so i'm sorry if some things were unclear, just send me a message when some things need a explanation

Yep, as long as you have the same model (SM-910F) you can flash any one of them.
Edit: You may need a PIT file if it doesn't flash correctly, but i would only worry about that if you run into problems.

Hello, I think you talk about the Cyprus Version CYV
(The only one without carrier)
You can find the good pit here.
For this one it's need the VFG
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzyeAt2hy6XeN2xrSzROWkVUemM/view?usp=sharing&pref=2&pli=1
I didn't have make this for now but many users reported it's working fine.

Thanks for your response! But i'm a bit confused now, is the only stock rom i can flash safely the Cyprus version? And why does it matter?
Looking forward to your response.

If anyone could make a quick step by step tutorial on how to flash with the pit file that would be nice thanks
