2 questions: you're certain you can't boot into recovery? Can you tell me any specifics about the kernel (name/date/etc)?

Go to sammobile.com. you can find stock firmware there. You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file, use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin.

Use mdl. Odin is a separate program and is not us or Canada. Read this guide and use the tar.md5 for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924
Take your time and read the guide more than once. You can permanently brick your device.

When you use Odin, let it do its thing. It'll take 10 to 20 minutes. Don't panic in the middle and unplug the usb. Be patient. And make sure you use the file you're downloading from sammobile. Don't use any of the links in the guide, except Odin. The other files are not for your device and they will brick you.

Did you have "repartition" checked in ODIN? Because if you did, you shouldn't have.
If not, try to get into recovery (if you can) and try a factory reset.

For some reason my recovery wont work? maybe thats it? all i know is my recovery wont boot, and i flashed a bad kernel. I have my twrp backup on my external sd
Also... all i had checked was auto reboot and f. reset time. I flashed the reset file with pda box checked.
forgot to add. i flashed the file with those two boxes checked and it said pass. I think it must be the kernel or the recovery? how do you flash these in odin? I bet if i can track down the stock kernel and get twrp again it may boot.

If you are positive you can not get into 3e recovery, you might want to go to the OUDHS CWM thread in the development section and look at the OP for a method to install that recovery via ADB shell. If you can get it installed, you can then flash another ROM to get up and running. Then, if you desire, you can use GooManager to put TWRP back on your phone and restore a working Nandroid you might have. Or you can just set things up from scratch. But all of this is only if you can get into recovery or get a recovery installed back onto your phone.
If you tried to install the wrong Kernel for your phone, you might be hard bricked, in which case Jtag might be your only hope.

WHAT! I was hoping it wouldnt come to JTAG. I've heard you can make a jig and then just download their software and do it yourself? But yes, I will go to that thread and check it out. also thanks for the help. this forum is MUCH better than others I have used for various products and what not.

I hope you get it figured out. But let me tell you what I DID and had the same outcome with NO RECOVERY at all, black screen with vibrate only. So what your describing sounds EXACTLY what happened to mine.
So I was "TRYING" to make a custom splash screen as I had for my SGS3. (Which messed with the kernel). When I went to boot up after the flash it did the black screen with vibrate.
I COULD get into DOWNOIAD mode but not recovery at all. I tried for a few days. I was worried my battery would be getting low after trying for a few hours. I tried to plug it in and the battery came up but it acted like it was stuck and nothing would happen.
Next I tried to use Odin to flash back to MDL stock firmware. It would flash and said completed. But upon reboot same half/vibrate screen.
Next I tried MDB firmware. STILL a NO GO. I had to send it in for JTAG. I think they had some issues getting it working as well. It arrived on a Thursday, and they did not finish getting it to where their site showed it was completed for 8 days. Then it didn't get sent out for another day. It finally arrived at my house 10 days after they received it. But GLADLY they were able to fix it. So good luck to you. If you do have to resort to JTAG it cost me a total of $90, Almost $30 dollars for me to TWO DAY it to them. $60 for JTAG and rush delivery.

Sorry to hear Odin didn't work. Odin does put the stock recovery on your phone in the correct partition if every thing goes correctly. But if your hard bricked Odin won't recovery the phone.
Try what Scott suggested but it's looking like jtag may be your best option at this point.

hell yeah this phone is hard bricked. But att was cool and let me return for a new one. Really no questions asked as long as you didnt damage it or get it wet. Rip to my first gs4. But the good thing is is that it should only take like 2 days to get a new one, because the first one shipped pretty quick. Thanks for all the help guys

You may want to realize the difference between a EFS-based bootloop, versus what I am looking for after a hard brick.
But thank you for your input.

How did you brick it? - Reason I ask, is cause the w8 is downgradable from 4.4.2 so bootloader playing should not have affected you. Unless you flashed something on it you shouldn't have?

Its not mine, but for someone else who asked me to help. I am not sure how it was bricked. Regardless it is a hard brick..

Like I just messaged you Shabby's Unbrick_Creator.zip

Hello i'm about to perform this method..Just wanted to confirm with someone that I can use any of the debrick.img provided for version 4.4.2 on my w8. Thanks! I hope to god this works!

Just and FYI -
You don't mention it in the steps about actually putting the sdcard with the unbrick image into the phone again. I assume at or after 3.3 .

Unbelievable ! This worked for me as well. This feature of the Note 3 makes it tinkerer's dream, it makes it virtually brick-proof. I thought I was done when I could not get back to download mode. I was starting to plan out what I was going to do for my next phone.
By the way in my case it was a N900W8 from Puerto Rico. I purchased it locked to Clairo and unlocked it and flashed to Telus stock ROM. If anyone else has gone this route this method works to unbrick. At first it would not go into download, I had to pull the battery and let it sit for a day. The next day I put in a fresh battery and it booted right to the download selector screen. WAhooo! ...and I was off to the races. Much thanks to the OP and the OOP for this solution.
FYI - formatting the sdcard with the boot recovery partition makes it unusable in the state. Just reformat it again to Fat32 and you can use it as a sdcard again. If you have trouble formatting it I used Mini Tools Partition Wizard, it does the trick.

[Q] Hard Bricked Phone?

I am somewhat new at rooting, though I have rooted 3 phones. I was rooted on Android 4.4.2 and when I flashed a ROM for 5.0 my screen turned black. It won't turn on, I can't get into recovery or download mode, and when I connect it to my computer through USB it registers it as QHSUSB_BULK. I am stuck right now, is a JTAG the only way to fix it?

I don't know if it is charging and I flashed a rooted stock ROM for 5.0 (OA8) and it was via safestrap. How would I access the bulk folder, as it says driver is not installed?

After further investigation, the file I flashed was OA1, but the download said OA8. I should have been more careful. Is there anything I can do now?

It probably is a brick. Pull your your battery for at least 10 minutes and try again. Still not sure where it is saying bulk folder.

Okay, I will get back to you on that in around 15-20 minutes. And it does not have a bulk folder anywhere, what happens is an alert pops up on bottom of screen saying "driver not successfully installed" and when I click to check the driver it says QHSUSB_BULK where it should say Galaxy s5. Hopefully you understand, as I want to fix my phone.

Oh, under devices. This is probably a brick. Sorry.

Try charging it. If it doesn't even feel warm it is a hard brick.

Help! Galaxy tab 4 8.0 hardbricked boot

Hi, this is the first threat i make (if something is wrong please moderators correct me )
Im doing this on tab 4 8.0 T331 3g version
Okay i'll begin explaining how did i get to the tablet totally useless by only being recognized with the sound when connects but nothing more.
I was trying ot restore my EFS.img via terminal emulator, i found a short tutorial where it said that only doing this: dd if=/storage/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=4096
well once i did that it said: write error: no space left on device
well i said, doesnt matter, maybe a reboot will fix it... nope. it didnt. it just went black screen and never turn back on, so i was in the QHSUSB_BULK and it never installed the drivers, so i downloaded qualcomm drivers and installed, but now it doesnt even recognize my device, tried uninstalling driver and it didnt helped.
so i was looking for solutions and found that famous ATF tool, and found the "debrick" SDC for my tablet but i cant install it to my sdcard because i dont have the box that does that. so i decided to find any "sdc to img" converter so i can place it to my sd card and try to boot my tab, i couldnt find anything that could do that.
so, what i need? a debrick.img that anyone can take out from its tab 4 t331, i've read that it can be done with this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577222
i quote: "its a debrick img creator hosted by Surge (thanks) hopefully this one will work"
it can be flashed via recovery and it takes out a debrick.img, if someone can upload that for me, i would make a bootable sd card with it so i can place it on my tab and then i can re flash it with odin.
If i can get it to work i will make the tutorial so everyone can be advised to avoid this problem
Thanks in advanced

I've tried it, but ir doesnt work

Possible root for Tab S2 SM-T818V and SM-T818A aka SM-T819

I have a possible root solution for the T818V/T818A aka the Verizon and ATT version of the T819 if any one is interested in giving it a go?
.

I'll try it out... I have the Verizon variation

Here we go. This is for T818VVRU1AQB1 firmware, but probably works on any revision 1 firmware.
Instructions
1. Enable OEM UNLOCK
In Settings>About>Software info tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options. Once you've enabled developer options, developer options will appear in settings just above the About device option. Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on.
2. Download the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.

3. Install boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the SM-T818V_eng_boot.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Reboot
Check in Settings>About>Software, your device should be in Selinux permissive mode.
4. Install and run Kingroot:
Make sure you have an internet connection.
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.
5. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :

6. Wifi fix:
modify the line below in /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Good luck I hope it works for you. Let me know your outcome.

The boot image flashed OK with odin? Which splash screen?
This could mean you need to wipe the data partition first for it boot.
I should be able to get the stock firmware for you sometime tomorrow.

Flashed fine. It's the screen that says Android very big and had the tab model, right before it goes into the boot animation.
I'll wipe data partition and report back.
Please don't feel responsible for it, I'm about trying anything for rooting... I'm sure we'll get fixed

Sure, we'll get it fixed no worries.
Anyway it seems like you need the accompanying botloader if its getting stuck on the bootloader animation.

If it still doesn't boot I'll give you a link to the entire engineering firmware via PM. Then se how you get on with that and gaining root.

Are you saying that the full firmware didn't flash either? At what point does it fail?
Anyway don't worry I'll upload the stock AQA3 firmware later.
EDIT: I think this is all you'll need to get booting again. Flash via AP in ODIN.
If not I'll give you the link to the entire firmware.
