[Q] Galaxy note 3 Bricking problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Appologise me for my english, i'm from Romania; i've got an note 3 and i changed his firmware ( with Odin) with an original one from Hungary(the phone was bought from Orange Romania) with Android 4.4 and than i rooted it. After that i found that i have some problems with signal and i changed his firmware again with an Romanian one from Cosmote because this one was not branded too. After i 've changed it for the second time i found some problems too and i decided to try to put the original firmware from Orange Romania and i received an erorr in the download screen"SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 1 > Binary 0"and the screen change into "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried to conect with Kies but the program tells me that the device is not compatible(tried with Kies 3).
Can you please help me, i don't know what to do.

Are you trying to flash back Android 4.3? If yes, it's not possible at the moment to go back to 4.3 if you flashed Android 4.4.

If you are trying to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3, don't even bother as bootloader would stop it from downgrading. Hence, softbricking the phone...

Anyone have any idea to repair it ? maybe reflash the Radio part ?
I have simmiliar problem with old Qtek smartphone which can't get off the "Flight Mode", tried reflash it didnot work, sent it to warranty and come back healthy ( the seal did not even teared, so maybe it can be done via software ?? )
I can't send it to warranty, cause my friend give it to me from out of country, and I even didn't know that my atom still in warranty period or not.

see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=266758&highlight=unlock+radio
I've read above link you gave me, but it seem all the tools must be used in healthy state or at least can enter in to bootloader mode. while mine can't do anything, stuck in update utility screen (tried all button combination known to man)
I found a way to enter in bootloader mode, but when enter bootloader with mini sd inserted (dummy) it says "Start downloading". what I'm asking which way downloading proccess ?? atom to SD or SD to Atom ?
I found WM5 tool for dumping rom, it not specified for certain device. If I enable to dump healthy image rom to SD (from another and the same version rom of Atom), Is there any way that I can flash it to broken atom without in boot loader mode ??
I will keep reading above link you give me, I will be waiting your next suggestion and help.
Thank you so much.

the problem is I can't get into bootloder mode, always stuck in Upgrade Utility????. tried all button combination though
thank's
Found a way, use rec + camera + reset button.
In DM mode choose Exit DM, and my Ayom live again !!!!!!
BUT, Can't find any GSM in Wireless Setting, WTF !!!!!!
Tried to reflash it again
Thanks
reflash it in normal mode, result GSM gone. reflash it second time in bootloader mode, result good, GSM setting come back, but still can't find any signal ?!
Do I get GSM hardware error ?? or something ??
Thank you
there's a Selftest app. in the programs group, should use it to see what result will return after a GSM module test.
Already did, Self test in program menu and in Diagnostic menu. All result OK.
Just can get signal, I can't make Emergency call either.
Opened the Atom, Antena ok, all seems normal.

[Q] Problems with flashing new firmware on Samsung I8700 Omnia 7

I can't seem to get my Omnia 7 to communicate with Win7 via USB cable in Download Mode. I use Win7 Pro x64.
I've installed:
I8700_Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver(V5.2)_V1.2.1050.0
I run:
I8700_WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.03_For_Retail_Device_(Product_Force_Select)_
I've even tried uninstalling all Samsung USB drivers, reinstalling them and restarting my system, but I still can't get it to work.
When I start the WP7 Downloader, it says "MD5 Confirm Process: Cannot Image File Please Try Again!" in a dialog named "Confirm MD5 Value". What is that all about? There are no MD5 files in the firmware package that I've downloaded (I8700XXJJ4). If I click "Close", the application dialog opens, but I get no connection to the phone via a COM port.
What am I doing wrong?
[UPDATE!]
I got my Omnia 7 to connect by starting up the WP7 Downloader BEFORE I rebooted the phone into Download Mode. However, I'm still getting the "MD5 Confirm Process: Cannot Image File Please Try Again!" in a dialog named "Confirm MD5 Value". Please help!
Please post in the proper forums. If you have an issue related specifically to that device, please post it there. This is for WP7 development as a whole, and device specific problems go in their proper forums and subsections.
~~Tito~~
To flash, you have to start WP7 Downloader before you plug your Omnia 7 in download mode. And then you'll see a new COM port. (h**p://pdaphoneaddict.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=133&t=21328])
Be carefull : the XXJJ4 firmware seems not to work. It's not a valid binary retail file whereas the DTMJJ6 works fine. I'll flash my Omnia 7 one week ago. (]h**p://pdaphoneaddict.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=133&t=21326]) The DTMJJ6 is a T-Online branded ROM.
My Omnia 7 is a French Orange branded device and with the DTMJJ6, some features don't work anymore as data transfert without WiFi. It's the reason why I advise you to wait an other ROM. In my case I'm waiting for a dump of the original ROM or a new I8700XX.. files but still nothing...
firmware
where did you get the firmware or update, is it possible to get firmwares for other phones like the focus,
Please,
i have I8700XXJJ6 WITH CSC TMUJJ6, the phone is locked to T-mobile UK, and i'm downloading DTMJJ6, will this rom work, if yes, will the phone be unlocked ?
Thanks,
B.R.
It won't be unlocked with the new ROM...
Why do you want to change your JJ6 ROM for an other JJ6 one ?

The new ROM feels snappier due to the better 3g/wireless speeds and gets rid of the horrible tmobile branded IE and searches.
Over all definitely worth trying.
So it's the JK1 which is needed, not the JJ6.

to get it unlocked friend ! how can i do it ?
I'm having the same issue, but as far as i know, this problem is related due a replacement of the original download (yellow triangle warning screen) mode by a 'recover mode' (picture of an windows branded phone connecting to a pc).
Is there any other way to set the correct download mode besides using that jig device?
I got some response from the software setting 'Modem, USB Diag.' on the micro USB Test. When I did this, the phone was detected by WP7 Downloader, but the phone was in the wp7 home screen and not in download mode (I chose not try anything).
My Omnia 7 is an unlocked device using SFR branding (JJ6, that october one).

DanMaxis,
There might be a way without a jig. In principal you could try updating right through to nodo which would give you the new Bootloader that allows flashing.
What you have to do is "unbrand" your phone with the Samsung unbrand xap which can be found in the wp7 developer forum. (First or second page)
Of course you need to apply the chevron unlock for it.
After having done that you will be able to receive the pre Nodo update and then the Nodo update with the "cut connection after 4 seconds" trick.
After these updates are installed your bootloader should be the new one. This will in theory enable you to reflash a different rom onto it.
In theory... because I havent tried yet.
I encounter an error on my Omnia 7 that it timed out after the first update. This is a common issue among Samsung users (as has been reported all across the web) and the only way to fix it is to hard reset the phone.
Hi!
I updated my device (Omnia 7) to Nodo with the Chevron Tool but the Firmware (2424.10.10.6) and the bootloader (4.10.1.9) are still the same...
There's no new firmware yet?
With this bootloader I can't access to the downlaod mode... the jig is the only way?
Thank you very much!!!
I don't think the MD5 error relates to phone communication - I got this when I tried to open the update file from within a compressed folder - you have to extract the file that is downloaded to another folder then open it through the update tool. You'll also get an MD5 error if you enter the wrong password for the file.
The Control at the bottom left of the update tool window tells you if the phone is connected or not and is separate to actually opening the update files (turns green and says which Comm port the phone is on if the phone is connected properly).
Hope this helps.

Flashing ROM / Samsung Update tool Failure

I finally got my JIG and was able to put the phone in the DOWNLOAD mode.
1) After that I tried to update my faulty bootloader (4.10.1.9) using the guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019112 but I got stuck with the message "CONFIRM PHONE MODEL" !!
2) Then I tried flashing the ROM "I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1" and subsequently "I8700XXKC1_XXKB2" (using all 4 files - csc,eb0,nb0,bin) but got the same error.
(I had installed the Samsung drivers - "I8700_Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V5.2__V1.2.1050.0") before doing the above mentioned steps.
3) Next I tried to use the Samsung update tool "Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2" and it detected the phone correctly but after clicking START, it stopped at 12% with the error "SLDR WRITE FLASH Failed".
So for me even after putting the phone in the DOWNLOAD mode using he JIG, it am unable to overwrite my faulty bootloader.
My Phone Info:
OS Version: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware revision number: 0222.10.10.6
Radio software version: 2424.10.10.6
Bootloader version: 4.10.1.9
Carrier: Orange (Switzerland)
By the way, my wife has the same phone from Orange and I have tried the same steps with her phone and it had the same errors reported.
So it looks like all the SAMSUNG OMNIA 7 phones from Orange Switzerland may have issues !!
Any help would be appreciated.

Had the exacly same issue (sldr write flash failed, stuck at 13%). Bootloader 4.10.1.9. I wanted to execute the Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2 to update to latest WP7 version. I tried on another computer and it worked.
