Hey all,
i screwed up my pit partition and im stuck. I tried to flash a pit file of a full Note 3 but it wont work, flashing fails no matter which version of odin im using.
So imasking for help from all the Note 3 demo unit owners.
It would be very nice if u could pull out the pit file with this tool N9005_SaveMyPitFile.zip and upload it here.
I would very much appreciate it.
Thank You!

U only need bluetooth and u can use it with gmate. Or u could buy a broken note3 (Display broken for example), use the circuit board and put it in ur demo unit with the missing parts.
ok if i buy the bluetooth thing i thing thats not right because the phone dont have signal...and the video show with signal...maybe the broken note or new mainboard its the coice..i saw in alibaba in 200 usd one new...its safe to buy there?

Best solution is to buy a n9005 with broken display on ebay or somewhere else. Change all parts and u will have a nice working n9005. I would rather buy a broken n9005 for 300 € than a circuit board for 200€ and then u need other parts which are missing in ur demo unit.

Can you get the tab into download mode? i.e. switch off completely; then power on whilst holding the volume down button.
If you can then you can use Odin and the instructions in the Overcome ROM Install Guide to flash the tab back to stock
---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------
One other thing I forgot to put in my previous post was a link to this thread about unbricking...
the one-click unbrick managed to get it back to the download screen, but i think i still need to reinstall the firmware, and i cant seem to find the i987 firmware anywhere, just the p1000. nevermind the fact i dont know how to use Odin to reinstall anyway
you just need to download odin and get a stock rom to flash and you'll get out of this problem
where can i find a stock rom? all the links ive found so far are down. do i need a pit file (actually...what is a pit file vs the tar file?)
sorry to ask so many n00b questions.
Read read read man! 6hrs b4 I even attempted a flash and still bricked it 6 times!
You are not in a bad spot yet. Just don't put something one the device if it wasn't made for it.

First step is take off battery cover, look for letter/number combinations on the plastic parts of the phone, I think mine is on the bottom right, figure out which variant you have.

Actions speak louder than words, click on my 'thanks' button if you mean it, LOL, JK, ok great, we got a WINNER!!! Now we know which variant you have. OK, looks like you have the x model, from googling it's from Indonesia or something and it's known as a live demo model like you stated. Find out what fw 9505x uses, try sammobile.com or even here, DL it and flash via odin, that would be my next step, I think, I'm still pretty new to this.
Those demo models were not even made for use.. Their firmware has limitations for what I know..

As you can see, odin stops at flashing modem... Demo units don't have modem hardware, so you need firmware without modem, or just download a pre rooted firmware, rename it by removing .md5 extension, so you'll have i9505XXXX.tar, open it with 7-zip, delete NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin and flash it... Or download a 3/4 part firmware and flash it without modem file. I've flashed lots of i9300x and i9505x like this...

I AM and consider myself a total newbster, and a lot of newbs here make us newbs look bad by asking for basic simple help that they can look up themselves. Your problem seems pretty serious so I was jus tryin' to look out for you and still will, GL!! If that dude is telling the truth, then you should be able to, he mentioned he did it on A LOT of phones.
I know i have posted this question already in 2 other threads, but I'm really in trouble
i updated my grand 2 from 4.3 to 4.4.2 and then tried to get back to 4.3 stock firmware through odin3. In the odin it was written "all threads completed (succeed 0/ failed 1)
now the phone isnt even switching on and no button is working
please help me, what should i do to make it work?
First try to charge at least a half full the battery
Second try to reflash the kitkat via odin, the firmware is already uploaded at samsung-updates or sammobile
Hope it will help

Edit:Title is wrong, its a sm-g550t1
Hi there. I'm really in desperate need of help. I am not always a very smart man.
I recently installed TWRP using the guide for this phone, and the first thing I encountered was I couldn't install it from download mode due to FRP. So I googled that, saw it would go away if I unlinked my Google accounts, which it did. Then I made a backup immediately.
However, later I linked my Google accounts and so now, after restarting, my phone will just say Custom Binary blocked by FRP. I can no longer access recovery mode, only download mode, and I can't install anything due to the FRP lock.
I am very frustrated, have gotten little sleep, because as I said I am not always a very smart man. I rely on my phone for my work and I can't afford another one. Someone gave me the stock firmware but its in the TWRP format and I don't know how to install those files with Odin.
So please, if you have time I really need help. If i could offer any sort of financial thanks I would but I just can't right now. But I swear I'll send so much good karma your way. I've definitely learned a lot from this process, usually breaking **** is how I learn best, but I wish I did this with a throwaway.
So I've narrowed it down a bit. I need a stock recovery.img and maybe a stock system.img so I can flash them in odin. Please, if you can somehow help I really need it right now.

Note: you can flash this into a Metropcs G550T1 they are both same devices just different carriers ...
A friend of mine gave me an S8 phone. Its reset and wiped clean. I was trying to set it up but it requires his old gmail account and password to get in to. The problem is, it won't take his password. He emailed google about it and he's waiting to see if they will recover his account on it. He won't be using the phone anymore as he has a new one. I'd like to use it as I have an S7 and this one has double the storage space that mine has.
If they can't recover his account, I want to flash the memory and start over. I've been a computer tech for 20 years so I know all about flashing the BIOS and how that can brick it. My question is, since I can't get into the system of the phone and see what the version of the firmware is, how confident can I rely on the back of the phone where it says SM-G950U? I've read that even though its branded that way on the back, it doesn't necessarily follow that it will show that in the system. I've downloaded the newest firmware I can find for it, SM-G950U_201910251442240_c0osvhilm6_fac from Updato and will use Odin to flash it with.

My mistake, I knew what phone he had I mean it's clearly written in the description. It looks like I posted the wrong link ACCIDENTLY. Nobody's phone was bricked. Well mistake made and valuable lesson learned. As far as the way you came at me questioning me if this is for guys device is pathetic to say the least. How you gonna ask that when it clearly says that. If this is what XDA is all about you know just read your response to my mistake, I won't be part of it. I'm about helping people and not smashing them when they make a mistake. Clearly you feel it's necessary to talk to people like that. What's that say about you?

Well mistake made and valuable lesson learned. As far as the way you came at me questioning me if this is for guys device is pathetic to say the least.

I wouldn't sweat it dude. Most everybody on the Samsung forums are as critical as can be. Ask the wrong question or give a different point of advice and they'll burn you faster than gasoline on paper. Most the complainers in here are the ones with the North American device, brick this brick that blah blah blah

Am I missing something. You say this is for his device. You linked s8 active stuff to a user that has a. 950u. This is not for his device. Luckily Odin don't allow flashing of wrong firmwares. You just bricked a guy's phone.
You just come off as being a ****. Cool the Jets tuff guy

You know I've been sitting here thinking about this. And it's TRUE 100% most of the bricks and bricking does happen on the locked us devices. Me myself even have a semi bricked one just sitting here to no avail of fixing hours and hours spent. They are a lot more finicky it seems than a unlocked bootloader ???
I'm sorry but I'm still having trouble getting this to work. I've tried the combo file and putting the extracted file in the AP section, and while that works, the phone just goes into a loop from the Factory Binary to that Settings screen and once its rebooted, it all starts again. What am I doing wrong? I've reset it to factory data several times.
Phone is an S8 64GB SM-G950U used on Straight Talk. Has Tracfone branding on screen when booted.

This is one of the latest bit 7 firmware. It is u1 unlocked carrier bloat free. This is what I use in mine. Sam mobile is slow. You can try internet download manager to speed it up a bit. But if your over seas or wanting non branded this is the way to go.

It's all good man. I couldn't believe I effed up like that. Thank God that didn't turn out bad. That day I had so many tabs open and was trying to finish it up before rushing off to work never checking the link I posted.
My apologies for the wrong link and coming at you the way I did. Water under the bridge.
