I'll try to help, not that good myself though. What happens when you try to go into recovery?

I'm having the same problem. Only this phone was dropped by my friend on its top left corner and hasn't booted since then.
I successfully flashed the stock NAE tar through Odin last night but it still won't boot. I also cannot boot into recovery. It simply vibrates but nothing shows up on the screen at all. I can only boot into download mode intermittently.
Can't figure out why it would flash but not boot.

Guys bad news, i went to service centre and they said my phone motherboard spoilt, need to pay RM870 to change to new motherboard as my warranty just finished last week! bad luck. I declined the offer and gonna try to flash the stock firmware myself.
Currently i still able to boot into my phone, but it will keep restarting suddenly, all sorts of goodleapps not working, samsung keyboard not working or go into infinite bootloop, is this hardware issue or software related more?
When the samsung keyboard failed, i cant key in anything at all, but im able to make call but i have no contact coz cant signin to google to retrieve my contacts.
I downloaded the latest rom from sammobile and tried to use odin to flash the stock firmware but it will fail with the this error after modem.bin

looks like i might need to root the phone and try my luck on custom rom but i cant sign in to playstore to download certain app
any recommendation guys?
did you check the MD5 of the rom you dl???change ODIN version you use
for rooting your phone you don't need to dl files from market.. Use cf auto-root

Xmit Write fail with ODIN

Hey guys,
I've been having some issues with an international rom on my W8 and i decided to go back to stock with odin. As i was flashing i realized that everytime i would reboot, even after a factory reset, or data/system/cache wipe, all my file and folders were not erased. So i booted into TWRP and wiped internal SD and all the other stuff, then flashed back stock rom with odin and now i keep getting this error:

Basically i start flash process and about 30 seconds in i hear the phone disconnect and i get the fail. I know it's not a bad firmware download as i've lready flahsed it 5 times today, i know it's not cable, or USB port because until i wiped internal SD i did not have any issues. Now, i can still access download mode, but i cannot access recovery because it tells me "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again." When i connect it to kies, it simply says phone not supported and doesnt show up under emergency recovery.
Anybody know how to get me out of this mess??
weird, my note 4 cable was causing the issue. I took my old S2 cable and it worked. Thanks anyways

[Q] Soft Brick G900V

After owning the phone for a grand total of five minutes I managed to go past go and straight to a soft brick after a root-gone-wrong.
Out of the box it was running 4.4.4, but I don't know which of the three Verizon firmwares it was. I've attempted using Odin to flash stock using all three of them and I can't get Odin to play nicely.
The latest/greatest attempt was to flash \G900VVRU1ANK2_G900VVZW1ANK2_G900VVRU1ANK2_HOME.tar.md5. I'm getting the following Odin output:

I'm getting the same output regardless of which stock I'm trying to flash.
May I trouble you guys for some help?
... not that I expected it to work, but I tried the Verizon recovery software in a Windows VM. It seems great up until it hangs at 83% (repeatedly) before telling me the device has been disconnected. If anyone wants to try that rabbit hole, I'll get the precise error verbiage.

How to restore my G900W8 back to original factory software. Major issues inside....

I was running CM13 for a while with no issues but I decided today to go back to stock because I want flip cover/s-view functionality without using garbage 3rd party apps to halfway do this.
Anyway....I tried to flash the stock ROM using Odin but it just made me stuck at a boot loop where it would play the Samsung animation about half way, freeze then restart and do this over and over again..
I installed TWRP and did a full wipe of everything, and now tried to install stock firmware using Odin again, and it writes everything to the phone in download mode then gets to the point where the device resets but then when it turns back on it just sits at the boot screen saying "recovery booting...." and locks up from there. If I even plug the phone in to charge it will freeze on the battery with the lightning bolt image and not proceed to the charging animation as it normally would and I need to pop the battery out to hard reset it out of this..
When I try to flash the stock firmware (G900W8VLU1COI4_G900W8OYA1COI4_G900W8VLU1COI4_HOME.tar) Odin says this:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

Please help....I don't know what I am missing. Is there a step I have missed somewhere along the way? Everything I read simply tells me to install the stock firmware using Odin to fix this, but that is actually what caused this issue in the first place and I cannot find any other info anywhere.
EDIT: I just reinstalled CM13 and it is working fine....what have I done to make it so that my phone cannot run the stock firmware anymore???
You should try to flash the KitKat image for your version. I am trying to find it right now, but that should work. I ended up having to do that when I went back to stock.

How do I fix my bricked Galaxy Note 4?

Model: SM-N910W8
So my device is bricked and I can enter Download Mode, but I can't enter Recovery Mode.
When I try to flash stock ROM, it fails and says there is no PIT partition.
So I get the PIT file for my device, and I try to flash stock ROM with the PIT and ODIN gets to system write, but then proceeds to fail there.
I've tried flashing 4.4.4 and 6.0.1.
I've also tried doing NAND erase and EFS clear.
I actually have a TWRP backup on my computer, so I tried flashing TWRP recovery onto my phone, however that also fails.
I am using the original Samsung USB cable.
Please help, I can't afford to toss this phone away...

Have you fixed your phone yet? I am going through the exact same issue.
