Reflash your stock ROM via ODIN, it'll work fine, if you happen to bootloop try THIS -- However to use this fix you need custom recovery -- Since you used CF you have KNOX 0x1 correct?
If you use the fix, this is the method >
Flash CWM or TWRP via ODIN in PDA - then boot into it and install the zip fix

Hi guys,
I was going to flash one of stock lollipop rom to my D802 and i was preparing the device (Just reverted to the stock).
First i rooted the device with ioroot , then used autorec for TWRP and kitkat bootloader but i forgot the drop rom files to my internal storage.
So i was using JB rom , i stuck at bootloop. Waited phone to discharge to enable download mode and go back to stock again.
After all this process i reverted my phone stock but now it doesnt seem to recognize my sim card.(I also tried another sim's , but no effect)
I flashed same firmware files just i did before but now im tryin different but i cant make it work. /// My imei is not gone by the way.
Anyone have any ideas or advices ?

Why wait to discharge? you can enter Download Mode anytime (Phone off, Hold Vol UP Button and connect the USB Cable
Sim Problem can be a lot ...... try to Flash another KDZ / Baseband / Modem
Try LG Hidden Menu

You can try LG Hidden Menu to test your sim card. There are different tests, you can try and check.
3845#*802#
Bad similar Problem. Take out sim, power off and let it off for at least 10min. Put sim back in and start the phone. That's how it worked for me.

Thank you guys.
Dear all,
I have only recently lost my IMEI und tried everything to recover it. As a matter of fact I had made a backup before and tried to restore it and it didn't work. Today, I tried doing that another time and after that I wanted to reboot my phone but after it shut down it just doesn't boot up anymore. It shows nothing, only the black screen. It seems like it doesn't react to anything, I also tried to pull the battery but that also wasn't successful. I also can't get into Download Mode.
Any ideas what I could do?
Charge the battery or try another battery first .
I did both, I charged the battery but it didn't help and I also tried another (fully charged) battery, without success.
try to connect with kies 3
Kies doesn't recognize my phone.
Service centre repair your next step .
I'll let my carrier send it to Samsung and tell them that it crashed after trying to update to Lollipop via Kies, I read that this worked in some cases. If it doesn't I'll have to have it repaired.
What do you guys think about those "USB jigs"? Do you think those could help me with my problem?
YAAAAY!
Thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625332 I was able to unbrick my device and by flashing a new PIT-File and a Stock ROM even my IMEI came back. I think my partition was somehow messed up because after flashing the PIT-File it began to work properly, but I flashed the Stock ROM to have a "clean" system again and installed Cyanogenmod afterwards with success.
So how does this fix work if the phone is unable to connect or power on ..
OP yes try the usb recovery jig to see if it boots to download mode .
Well, it did help. After I had put the Image on my SDcard and removed my SIM card I was able to boot my phone, this was the main issue. The rest was child's play, I flashed the PIT-file and a stock ROM and everything was working fine again.
flash new PIT file
hi you got to flash a new pit flie. maybe something damaged your phone boot. look in here

Hello All,
I Hard bricked my N9005 while downgrading form Stock 5.0 to stock N9005VJUBMI7 (4.3 ?).
Note 3 N9005 32GB .. was working well on Android 5.0, except GPS issue and battery drain issue. So, I thought will go back to older stock ROM.
While flashing N9005VJUBMI7 (from Sammobile ) on Odin, without any PIt file and Re-partition unchecked. Odin flash completed and it said successful.
But, after this, phone never booted. Power button doesn't work. Download mode keys won't work. Recovery mode keys won't work. Charger doesn't work. USB doesn't detect on PC. LED never lit. Is this state called HARD-BRICKED? Or its a step ahead and completely dead ?!
I tried the debrick.img on SD card method using the thread by ValenteL. Followed below steps:
On Windows 7, used win32DiskImager, and created the rescue micros SD card (16GB) using debrick image of 4.4.2. Inserted SD card on phone, put battery and tried to see if phone boots. Unfortunately, it didn't Tried to play around with all keys, long press for 30 secs, usb cable, charger.. etc. But, still no luck.

Install the latest verson of kies on you computer.
Then in kies under "Tools" choose "firmware upgrade and initialisation".
Then give you model number "SM-N910?", next give serial number of the phone (you can find that on the sticker behind the battery in your phone).
Then you get a message that the "device can be initialised to its original setting"
Press ok and ok again. Then put your phone in download mode and connect to the computer and press "start upgrade".
Not working @dewingerd
Kies doesnt detect my phone. Bt drivers are installed correctly. It only opens in downloading mode

Happened to me also 2 days ago.
Your mobile only can enter download mode ? but when u try to go to recovery or just power it , nothing happened , right ??
Well , you should do as @dewingerd said carefully do these steps :
Initially you need to upgrade kies to the latest version (mine is : 3.2.15072_2) or this will fail cuz it failed with me the first time.
1) take of your battery , and write down your Serial number .
2) open kies first.
3) open mobile in download mode then connect it . KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE MOBILE
4) Choose : Tools >> Firmware upgrade and initialisation
5) Kies will ask you about your mobile name , TYPE : SM-N910C , ALL CAPITAL LETTERS OR KIES WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT
6) if you did not type the name correctly , you will get a message that kies does not know this name , so start again , type SM-N910C
7) then you will get another box asks for your serial number , enter it (Not case sensitive).
8) Kies then will inform you that it is going to prepare the phone and download the firmware for your device and that you have to connect it in download mode.
9) unplug your mobile , plug it again and click start.
10) Now the process is going to take a while depending on your internet connection (downloading about 2GB), do not unplug the phone and do not allow your laptop/PC to sleep.
11) cautions that I read before : you better not connect or disable any usb devices during the process.
12) suddenly , you will hear you mobile starting up again , congratulations
Q: What about my data , apps and stuff ?
A: All is gone except for those on your External card , sorry , nothing can be done for that (May be you should remove your SDcard first just in case).
Good Luck

thank for your quick reply, my variant is n910c ans yes i can still install recovery. I upgraded from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 poland using odin and everything works well. I flashed Googy N4 kernel using TWRP 2.8.1.1 and everything still works well. My problem began when I made a backup of my 5.1.1 stock rom and flash infinity rom which end up in bootloop. So I tried restoring my backup but whenever it got to DATA RESTORING it keeps failing and flashing back the 5.1.1 poland stock firmware through odin keeps ending up on the SAMSUNG boot animation screen.

GoogyMax N4 v2.0. I have tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 but still the same.
After flashing stock firmware using odin, on my stock recovery i found this error
"E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
dm-verity verification failed.......
need to check drk first......."
I have search through the internet but i can't get a clear picture of what it meant.
Does anyone has an idea of what it meant and how to resolve the error?

Hi again ,
Looks like a locked phone and was unlocked in a wrong way or something like that.
read this thread , looks like the same problem.
in short , you need the 4 files firmware to be flashed via oden and as stated in page 2 there , you flash them without pit file.
You can find the 4-files firmware here but this is not 5.1.1 firmware , give it a try , if failed too , search for 5.1.1 4-files firmware.
here is another site but I do not really know if they are 4-files or the single file .
Good luck.

Try to download the appropriate firmware with Samfirm_reborn0.3.6.2 you'll find on Github. Unpack the .zip and start as admin.
Insert full device name and region and additionally check "binary nature" box.
It should download the latest! ROM multiple file format from Samsungs servers directly, at least it did for all my 7 devices (just in case) before I rooted them.
BUT I know that for N910V nothing is found and don't know about S model.
KIES I never used as I read it sometimes conflicts with Odin.
If files are downloaded flash with Odin adding the different files in their input fields. (selve explaining names)
