UNBRICK METHOD:
Following directions taken and modified from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583603
Part 1: What you need
A SD Card that is the Same Size as your Phone's internal memory.
The unbrick image as above
A program to put the image on a SD Card which is here for windows users: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager
The Stock ROM. I got mine here. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900W8
ODIN 3.0x
Part 2: Prep
Get the battery charged to 100%.
Find a PC and plug the powercord (microUSB Cord) directly into the motherboard. NOT ANY OTHER PORT.
Format the SD Card to ExFAT you need from Part 1.1.
Using the #3 Program from Part 1.3, burn the image to the SD Card. Its simple.
Part 3: Turn it on
Put the battery into the phone.
Plug the charging cord into the phone.
Put the phone into download mode by holding: <Volume Down> + <Home Button> + <Power>
Once you are in download mode press <Volume Up> to enter download mode. Now go to part 4
Part 4: Putting the ROM back on
Don't Deviate from anything here or do extras.
Open Odin from Part 1.5.
Press PDA and Select your STOCK ROM from Part 1.4
Wait a min for Odin to analyze the file.
Hit Start on Odin.

Hello,
I am in URGENT need of someone who can help me with an UNBRICK img. You should be on stock and/or rooted firmware, but not on leaked TW KitKat bootloader. Please flash the following two files here in custom recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2540537&d=1390754238
and http://shabbypenguin.com/getdownload.php?file=Tools/Unbrick-Creator.zip
This will NOT flash anything on your device, but it will create a debrick.img file, and Debrick folder. This does NOT contain any sensitive IMEI or anything like that information. Please either PM me directly, or post it here. I will appreciate it greatly.

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..

Unfortunately I can't help on the W8, but have you tried any other note 3 debrick image? Any difference with that?
I have the n900w8 but currently on leaked 4.4.2 kk. I will downgrade and flash the 2 files and see if I can help you out..
EDIT: I have created the N900W8 Canada debrick.img
Uploading now.

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.

Hey friend, Can you please explain me what's the procedure in your FYI? and also, has your phone been working correctly since then? Do I have to keep the debrick.IMG for ever on my SD card? What do you mean by boot recovery partition?
Thanks in advance
Do u have a debrick for lollipop. Pls help
Ugh! This socks. I just wrote a whole message then it got erased. Oh well.
Hi, I need help....obviously. I have an att note 3 n900a. I'm not going repeat all of my awesome and amazing story, but just note that I got to a point where I needed to get back to stock with my special "in case of brick" folder. Also, I had alliance rom official v6 as my custom. Anyways, I used Odin 3.09 and loaded up my files. And my dumb ass forgot to put csc files on external. It flashed and said success. Now when I power on I get stuck at "Samsung galaxy note 3" logo. I can get to download and recovery, but my computer no longer recognizes the phone since the flash. Yes new drivers and adb drivers and all that have been tried......the point is that I can't get Odin to see the phone. I can get to recovery and am thinking an external sd flash may be the best method.
Please advise with links and all that. And please please please break it down [Barney Style] for me. Barney style means to break it down into steps that even an awkward child from the Barney series can understand it........I'm slow. Lol. I also lost my external......guess I gotta buy a new one. Thanks for any help and definitely suggest anything you think will help even if you think I've tried it. Thank you all!
Update: I purchased a 32gb SanDisk micro sd and guess what! External sd method not working. Was trying to flash back to alliance and while I can search the sd and select the alliance zip I am prompted with the message -- Install /sdcard . . .
Hi there
I have HARD bricked my phone (can't use combination keys to get into recovery mode).
I am looking for someone who has a DEBRICK image or who is willing to create and upload one so that I can recover the phone.
The specific software on the phone at the time of death was Android 5.01 and Phone Model is N910GDTU1BOD3.
ALTERNATIVELY, I have another Samsung Note 4 (identical). If you can give me exact step by step instructions and links (so many vague instructions here on XDA) that would help. I promise to create an article here and post recognizing your direct and help!
Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried putting it in download mode? (vol. down+home+power)
If you can then download frimware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and follow the instructions to flash it via Odin.
Hi!
Have you managed to unbrick your Galaxy Note 4? I've got the same problem. Also i've got the detailed instruction how to solve it. But I'm stuggeling to find a working sm-n9100 to make sd-card image.

Check this out , there is a guide and the recovery pit file as well .
https://mega.nz/#!qt81HZiS!-XyNN1m_TEi8dvGrjnEQsxClpfzk7nT_0DliYFJDPew
You just have to :
Load "recovery pit" file in pit partition of odin and any marshmallow bootlaoder in BL (the bootloader that is currently there on working phone is preferable ).
Then, insert a 32gb sdhc sd card in working note 4 and go to download mode .
Flash the two files that i have mentioned above .
The working phone is just a medium , it shouldnt be affected , the blank sd card in that phone will get loaded with the two files.
Then , put that sd card in bricked note 4 , try to enter download mode .
If it succesfully enters download mode , congratulations, you created a working debrick image .
Also download a full repair firmware , that is available on xda .

Debrick has been created , and reportedly working :

I make a unbrick image for bootloader, but is not work, the phone must connect at dbloader 9008. Maybe someone will found a jumper to put the phone in this mode and after that should work.
