I think you need to state your country or look yourself for the firmware on sammobile.com and extract the bootloader
Or wait for someone else to reply. Good luck
Edit. Might this help?

hey thanks for the reply,
no as the phone is hard bricked its 100% unusable, if it would even switch on that would be fantastic.
its more complex than soft brick.
im having the same problem... is your note alive again?
Return it and claim warranty, tell them that your phone suddenly went off and that you don't know the reason. They may replace the board for you.
wow thats sad

the thing is.. is not even mine... is from a client... and a friend was trying to unlock it and the phone came to my hands that way... and now i think my friend must pay for it... wow... what an expensive one...
not even a jtag interface to repair the dead boot... wow..

Then it's up to you to convince your client to return it to Samsung for warranty. As for recovering his data, that is the hard part.

Do you mean the bootloader that needs to be written as T-Flash to a microsd using Odin 3.09 or higher? (as per 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf) Isn't that just the same as sboot.bin written raw to first sectors of microsd?
I would be interested to hear if you managed to use that just for the "extreme hacking" angle of it :good:

hi sorry way over my head
this was back in October. I tried using an unbrick.img for the sm905 N3 Flashed to microsd and I was supposed to just
put in the sd card in my phone so it could boot into download mode but was unsuccessful as I needed an unbrick.img made up for my device
model sm9005. hope that helps.
Thanks

I do not think the microsd is enough - the Note3 ONLY boots from microsd if you short R4075 on the mainboard - there is a notice from Samsung service somewhere around with a name like 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf that describes the details (and comes with a good picture of what you need to short).

Take the battery out to power off the device then try getting into Download mode, reflash your Firmware and voila you're good to go

You can't flash the bootloader from the SD card - this is very dangerous.
You have to use Download mode to touch these partitions.

Dear nicholaschum,
Thank you for the reply,
I know this thread is old but I hope that what I found will help someone who is facing the same situation,
After a little digging I found the problem was a hardware malfunction specifically the PMIC,
I just replace it and the phone worked again,
Your advice is appreciated and noted,
I wish you all the best,
Best regards

I am really sorry about that,
I was overseas supervising a project in the middle of a dessert which made me forget a couple of things but now I rememberd them and this post was one of them,
And thank you for your kindness,
I wish you to live healthy, happy and peaceful life.
There is no sudden death with these devices...the sudden. Death was an old story that happened with note 2 and s3 dude ..and it is gone after the kit Kat and jelly bean updates..
Yes exactly ,
The problem was when i asked my friend he only told me that he put the phone on the charger and went to sleep and in the morning BAM the phone was dead,
And i asked him if there was something wrong with the phone before and he said nothing,
But when i put a fully charged second battery in it nothing happen so i figured out it was the PMIC.
Thanks for the clarification.

Please HELP, Deleted my whole OS, and internal storage.

Hi guys...
Now today was a total disaster..
my phone was getting slow and i decided hey, lets root the phone and install some new custom roms so i can get rid of them unessessary programs..
WELL... this is where it went totally wrong.
After trying to wipe the phone before installing the new custom rom and gapp, I by accidently removed the _WHOLE OS_ on the phone, and now all that I can do with it,
is boot it and when it boots it gets stuck on the Galaxy S4 screen at the very beginning..
Now I have no clue what to do and how to get my phone working again...
If there's anyone who could help me to get it up running again I would appreciate it Alot, and I mean ALOT.
My phone is Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Please someone help.
And as I said, the phone is totally empty ( I guess.... ) ?
Can you get into download mode? You need to go to Sam mobile and download your firmware and then use Odin 3.09 to flash it to your phone?

Do you have installed a custom recovery yet? if so just pull out your external SD use an adapter or other phone copy the desire rom and gapps
put it back in your phone enter recovery and flash....

yeahh, i can get into download mode, but the thing is that I don't have an SD card, so my phone is completely empty, nothing on my phone and I don't have a SD card to copy anything to...
So I guess i'm totally screwed then?...
I once made a mistake like this and seems like I didn't learn from it, but I got a link from someone to download the file from and just flash it with odin and the phone started working again.
Is there a way to still do this? and if so how do i find a link to get it from :s
I'm panicing here

OK Google on how to check a md5. Your md5 on your download needs to match the one in the website you got it from. It could be a bad download. If they match I recommend re doing the process. If they don't then you need to download it till they do.

You need a class 10 card for the guide, otherwise it will corrupt.
Well if you don't remember what is the official firmware you can use 3 methods
1.Visit the shop or the site where you bought it and ask about the firmware version otherwise just check it in the product info
2.If by any luck you have the brand box there is a section where it mentions about the phone details
3.Last you can try many firmwares one by one unless you find the stable one which will be easily to do with Odin V3 and if one firmware doesn't work simply load another one via download mode
*Tip*I once had a situations when i installed the wrong firmware and it literally couldn't even boot into download mode with the power + volume down way so i searched for it and the solution was to simply try other button methods it took me like 10 minutes but i figured out a way you better search for it cause there are plenty ways..
if you need any help feel free to find me [email protected] otherwise reply in the thread
Good Luck..
