I broke my phone (radio rom) while trying to flash my dear Samsung Omnia i900 using GrandPrix. The full story can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418917
Here is the latest help I receive from chaimd:
The other way, I found strings of "phone.bin" or "SD download Mode" in eboot.bin.
I think you can try below;
1. copy i900DXHG4_phone.bin into a microSD as "phone.bin"
2. set the microSD and power on your OMNIA
you can try with microSD format FAT16 or FAT32.
And perhaps, entering SD download Mode need some key combination with POWER key.
Good Luck

I will try this out. Does anyone know how to enter the SD download mode?
10x for this
i try format fat 32 sd card i copy phone.bin and try some key combinations my omnia power buton light blu green and red but noting.How to setup in menu my phone boot whit mmc?
this is help as?
To boot from a program, create a folder entitled "MCSTART" which contain a programme call "AUTORUN.EXE". When you insert card, windows will copy executable and launch it with parameter "install" (and when you remove it, windows relaunch app with "unsinstall parameter")
So maybe you can create an executable that launch ROM update
NO you do not need autorun, bootloader should exevute the flash from SD but i am unaware of the key combination
Bootloader

Me too, I tried to press alot of key combinations but no help at all.
I found out the SD Download Mode is actually one of the Bootloader mode. Therefore if you know how to enter Bootloader Mode then please share it here. Thanks.

Thats were there is a little problem in the Omnia the boot loader mode is automatic. When your device starts up and you see the Samsung Omnia logo this is bootloader mode. If no request is made to to the system to enter bootloader the normal startup proceeds. This is why when you flash from Grandprix you have to press detect first then restart. The detect sends a command to go into bootloader mode.

That's why I think the solution to Samsung Omnia i900 SD Download Mode is to find a program that will activate it from Windows.
Anyone have better idea?
hello
My omnia is 5 days in service center but not alive. any progress for repair the phone part ? i have 2 x i900 one is work and one only pda i try metod phone to phone but not work.
I have the same problem. I tried to download HH1 rom, i followed the steps and the procedure went successfuly with any error, screen say job done. then my phone wont power on again.
will the SD download mode work if the phone won't even turn on? how to make it turn on? how to use the SD download mode? can anybody give exactly direction? please help.
My omnia original english rom working if can help with something to ressurect yours tell me.
anybody have more details of i900 SD Download Mode and how to use it?
will it recover the bricked phone? my phone wont power on now.
So, does anyone have idea?
Hmmm. Yesterday I kill 2 pcs I900 Omnia with GrandPrix 1.8.1 trying to flash with HH1 version (only PDA part), but after that I flash them with old version (HG3), and everything looks ok. I think if You do not kill the boot sector, you should bring your phone to live. And one more. NEVER try to flash bootloader in phones like this, because there is no solution to restore it!! It's this same problem like qualcomm phone series. No TestPoint, no solution, at now.
how can you flash it again it the power cant turn on? the main problem now is the power cant turn on. any ideas?

Thanks prpetrov, your kind heart is really appreciated especially when someone like me really need help.
We, the people who has half-bricked phone (no phone function) really need to know how to enter the SD Download Mode with or without using software.
People on this forum make me feel really welcome. Thank you all.

I think there is no solution to our bricked omnia's but to send them to Samsung Service centers. If warranty covers it, it will cost $150 or so for shipping. Losing $150 is better than $700. Once I get it fixed, I will sell mine and won't get it again. If a firmware update caused this issue, I cannot rely it as the device of my choice. I have not even used any tricky methods, just tried to update with its firmware and now in Monahan's. Sucks big time.
I contacted samsung US. they told me they will only support handsets manufactured in US. I also contacted samsung singapore,they told me that there is no warranty on exported handsets. warranty is only availiable to handsets purchased from local stored in asia countries. all handsets purchased online from europe, US, do not have warranty, so samsung will not support those.
I am so disappointed with samsung. there are people all round the world purchase products from ebay and online stores, samsung do not provide services for them. this is a big problem.
I will say, can we all complain to Samsung? may be see some light? may be i am too silly.... If we don't try... we do not know the answer; Right?

OK, here is time for report what I've done so far.
Firstly, THERE IS a function to download from SD card, but at this moment, there is only 1 way to activate this function, have to be done through telnet from JTAG.
People have MONAHANS is problem with PDA bootloader (PXA312) , then PHONE problem is related to Qualcomm bootloader.
Secondly, there is some functions that I tried on PXA312
sys.cpu PXA310
sys.JtagClock 10MHz
sys.option WAITRESET On
sys.up
data.set 0x40e10414 %long 0x00001841
after this, it will bring you control of MONAHANS
Something important here:
d.s 0x4A00000C %l 0x00000638 ; MSC1 (Static Memory Control Register - SRAM/Async Flash memory)
d.s 0x4A0000A0 %l 0x00000002 ; CSMSADRCFG(CS Config Register)
d.s 0x4A000088 %l 0x0033C919 ; CSADRCFG2(CS Address Config Register) set SCLK cycles address bits and 16 bit device
Any info?

Clone phone probably have a different ROM made by the cloning company/person itself and it doesn't have any connections with the original one so.. Its hard for you to find one here.. You probably need to go to the person you brought it from and ask him to flash a ROM!
Hit thanks if I helped!
Well i got the ROM and the Kernel. But i have a new problem :/ I cant boot to fastboot mode . The phone just hangs in there when i try to do it, The second one is i cant install the drivers to use ADB update mode. And the last one is that my SD card Containing the ROM dsnt show up in the recovery mode :/
This is what happened....
I was on stock Rom and as time went by it started slowing down on me. Ive never rooted this phone and decided to factory reset the phone. So when i did, the hard reset..... as it went to the Samsung logo the phone shutoff, after right away went directly into download mode. i freaked out and pulled the battery. Then i put the battery back in and it wouldn't boot. So I'm guessing its bricked cause it shows no sign of life at all .
I was looking up "how to unbrick a Galaxy note 4" and unfortunately unbrick methods dont exists. I even called up my local Jtag service and He said nothing can be done except sell him the phone for 100 bucks for parts (Which i refuse to believe) .
After reading around for an entire day i came across
Part 1 : http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable/
Part 2: http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-you-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload/
Ok, so i figured some things out thanks to Android brick ! .
In-order to unbrick all Galaxy Note 4's which run on Snapdragons 805 is to access Qualcomm's Service Port Via [QHSUSB_BULK] ---> [qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008]
Now we can use MiFlash 2012 To Unbrick our Snapdragon 805s from a "Hard Brick".
So their are 5 things we need to unbrick all galaxy note 4's:
-MPRG8084.hex <-------------- Main
-8084_msimage.mbn <-------------- Main
-rawprogram_32GB.xml
-patch0.xml
-Settings.xml
If we can find these, we just found the ultimate unbrick solution for all Snapdragons 805 phones.
And after i found all that stuff so complicated, i would like to try this except the note 4 version:

What is Hard Brick?
Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device won’t boot/respond/charge at all. This is mainly caused by flashing corrupted firmware, damaged bootloader, incomplete flashing in Odin/Download mode, or interrupted OTA upgrade. You can't recover from hard brick by traditional methods since your phone is ~dead & you can't enter any Recovery or Download Modes; You'll need to use JTAG (expensive service), USB JIG (cheap, but no gurantee), or this free guide/files to get it repaired.
What do you need?
- Hard Bricked Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910W8)
- Micro SD Card: 4/8/16/32 GB micro SD card
- Unbrick Image: working dump with the same bootloader/version
- Image Writer: native commands on Linux/MacOSx or Win32 Disk Imager on Windows
How to recover?
1- Download Unbrick Image for your bootloader from here
2- If you're using Windows, download Win32 Disk Imager
3- Backup all files in the micro SD card you 'll use
4- Write the Unbrick Image to your micro SD card using Win32 Disk Imager or Linux/MacOSX commands
5- Remove battery, Insert micro SD card & then the battery
6- Hold Power + Home + Volume Down to enter Download Mode by bootloader on SD card
7- Flash Stock firmware via Odin & Enjoy
Downloads:
All files you may need are available in this folder
-So if some one can create a "you need to create your own Unbrick Image since I can't share it for the device-specific bootloader. Just run this Unbrick Image Creator in recovery & it'll create "/sdcard/Unbrick_Files" in your internal SD card." for me, id love to try it and see if it works.
I was running Android 5.1.1 With Rogers before it went down and wonder if someone can run the unbrick image creator and create an unbrick file for the rest of the Canadian Galaxy Note 4s.:good::[/QUOTE]

they didnt even offer you to change some of the hardwares? the samsung service center near me will try to fix it and then if they are not able to fix it thru software then they will try to change the motherboard or battery it depends on what they think the problem is, next time dont just pull the battery especially when its trying to complete something.
I actually managed to get that unbrick thing working. My note 4 bricked just like yours. MMC Read failed constantly. Freezing and reboots. Until one day it just stopped turning on and would not go into download mode. I managed to get the note 4 file somewhere (I forgot where) and put it onto an external SD card and managed to get the phone into download mode. The phone still has the mmc read fail error at times and freezes and reboots. Still dont know what to do about that.

Lucky you! Hey, at least you have something to use.
Oh and Just hook it up to Samsung Kies or Odin and do a full factory reset, that should get rid of any bugs.

Yea, i tried to look for the files.
Seems like theirs nothing at this moment for the snapdragons 805, but phones running on snapdragon 801 and 800s can be fully un-bricked from a "hardbrick"
atleast we all have a solid idea how to fix this issue thanks to AndriodBrick.
for now, what you could do is buy a new motherboard or go to a Samsung repair center and when the developers release a fix, just fix the bricked motherboard and sell it. :good:

Yea, for the unbirck img, not sure where to find the proper boot loader on stock ROM.
So 2nd method from the top post not worked or why it's stroked out? Or it needed special unbreak image that we haven't and it can be done with unbrick image creator?
So if I'm reading the op correctly then you just need someone with a working canadian note4 to run the unbrick image creator in recovery to make the needed unbrick file? Then this file can be flashed on non-working phones to unbrick them?
And I'm assuming working phone needs to be rooted with custom recovery?

Is there an Unbrick yet?
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F.
Suddenly, literally out of nothing it died.
No reaction when trying to power it on, no reaction when trying to charge it. nothing, literally NOTHING. (Also tried different chargers, sockets, cables, and 2 different batteries)
I did NOT root the phone, i did not use cheap chargers, everything was/is stock.
When i connect my Note 4 to my laptop, and go to device manager, it finds: QHSUSB_BULK
I dont know if it is bricked because i didnt do anything weird with the phone.
QUESTION 1: IF MY LAPTOP FINDS THE NOTE 4 AS "QHSUSB_BULK", IS IT NECCESSARILY BRICKED?
QUESTION 2: IF IT IS BRICKED, IS THERE A UNBRICK YET?
QUESTION 3: IF THERE IS NO BRICK, WILL A MOTHERBOARD REPLACEMENT DO THE JOB?
So this unbricking works only for Canadian phones? Am I saved?
I would love to hear the news. Because I think mine just got bricked today. And it is a Canadian version.

Im an Idiot. I went to twrp recovery and wiped everything, since I wanted to install a higher version of the Samsung tab e, and even when twrp told me that there was no OS installed, I rebooted anyways. I was new to this all thing, and had no idea what exactly that meant and thought, 'What could go wrong?' . . . I just wanted a higher device model, man.
Ugh. Now im stuck in the 'Powered by Android' logo screen, and cant boot into recovery or Download mode.
- What's even worse was that I didn't even enable USB Debugging so Adb is out.
- However, it is Rooted, if that even helps.
- Trying to use the Samsung 300k tool to force enter download mode ends up with 'Write file function failed (error 995)'
- My sibling has the same device model as me, but using T Flash via Odin and my 32GB micro SD card doesn't have a reaction to my device. (Or maybe im doing it wrong, since I don't see anything in the sd card when I plug it to the computer)
- Tablet gets recognized via Odin and Computer, but only as 'MTP USB Device', and in Devices, it is in Unspecified as 'Samsung Android'
- Only good thing that came out of this was the info that I had obtained over the past few days that has shocked my siblings as to why I have this much knowledge over Samsung devices and its functions (AKA I feel cool)
But honestly, at this point I am at a loss of what to do, and will not be surprised if I have to get a USB jig to force it to download mode (my only other option left), or take it to a service center to get it fixed. (the other option I have)
But if there is something you guys are aware of, that I had not tried yet, Please guide me.

The simplest way to get an operating system again is to put the ZIP file on a working MicroSD card and put it in your tablet, Then boot into the boot loader and choose to install the file by choosing the external micro sd card.
If you're stuck on a boot screen or download, get out of it by holding the power key + volume down, until the tablet resets.
Note for the future:
always backup your device to an external MicroSD card before deleting your existing operating system, or installing a new one.
