Ok I bought this tablet on 4/7/2014 then yesterday which was 4/8/2014 it bricked on me and it wont power on or charge i tried taking the battery out then replacing it that didnt work next i tried the volume combinations that didnt work either i ran fast boot via pc didnt even picked up the tablet my guess is that either the file structure or NAND went bad and i need to fix that so i can use it again if you know a way to get this tablet working then please tell me also i tried many android toolkits none worked im guessing i need to fix the NAND but dont know how if you can help i would really appreciate it oh btw i was running stock 4.4.2 and had an unlocked bootloader at the time its like my tablet is completely empty.
If you only had it one day is RMA an option? Otherwise your looking at a new motherboard. Does anything happen when you plug it into a PC any noise or connection? Usually corrupted nand will turn on but will bootloop and any attempt to flash will fail. You may be stuck in apx mode with a corrupted bootloader but either way it sounds like your up a creek.

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.
Please let me know if any suggestions to bring the device back alive!
Thanks in advance !!

You should have known that you can not downgrade from 5 to 4.3.

Sorry, my phone is too adamant. It won't go to download mode. All I want is to get it into download mode! Would jig help? What you think? Spend some 3$ on eBay?
Worth a try with the jig before paying for a service centre repair .

Tried the ebay JIG.. No luck. Note 3 still not up..
JIG is good.. ensured with other (working) Samsung phone. It puts into download mode, but not to my Note 3
This is what happened....
I was on stock Rom and as time went by it started slowing down on me. Ive never rooted this phone and decided to factory reset the phone. So when i did, the hard reset..... as it went to the Samsung logo the phone shutoff, after right away went directly into download mode. i freaked out and pulled the battery. Then i put the battery back in and it wouldn't boot. So I'm guessing its bricked cause it shows no sign of life at all .
I was looking up "how to unbrick a Galaxy note 4" and unfortunately unbrick methods dont exists. I even called up my local Jtag service and He said nothing can be done except sell him the phone for 100 bucks for parts (Which i refuse to believe) .
After reading around for an entire day i came across
Part 1 : http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-qualcomm-snapdragon-unbrick-guide-snapdragons-are-unbrickable/
Part 2: http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-you-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload/
Ok, so i figured some things out thanks to Android brick ! .
In-order to unbrick all Galaxy Note 4's which run on Snapdragons 805 is to access Qualcomm's Service Port Via [QHSUSB_BULK] ---> [qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008]
Now we can use MiFlash 2012 To Unbrick our Snapdragon 805s from a "Hard Brick".
So their are 5 things we need to unbrick all galaxy note 4's:
-MPRG8084.hex <-------------- Main
-8084_msimage.mbn <-------------- Main
-rawprogram_32GB.xml
-patch0.xml
-Settings.xml
If we can find these, we just found the ultimate unbrick solution for all Snapdragons 805 phones.
And after i found all that stuff so complicated, i would like to try this except the note 4 version:

What is Hard Brick?
Hard brick is the state of android device that occurs when your device won’t boot/respond/charge at all. This is mainly caused by flashing corrupted firmware, damaged bootloader, incomplete flashing in Odin/Download mode, or interrupted OTA upgrade. You can't recover from hard brick by traditional methods since your phone is ~dead & you can't enter any Recovery or Download Modes; You'll need to use JTAG (expensive service), USB JIG (cheap, but no gurantee), or this free guide/files to get it repaired.
What do you need?
- Hard Bricked Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910W8)
- Micro SD Card: 4/8/16/32 GB micro SD card
- Unbrick Image: working dump with the same bootloader/version
- Image Writer: native commands on Linux/MacOSx or Win32 Disk Imager on Windows
How to recover?
1- Download Unbrick Image for your bootloader from here
2- If you're using Windows, download Win32 Disk Imager
3- Backup all files in the micro SD card you 'll use
4- Write the Unbrick Image to your micro SD card using Win32 Disk Imager or Linux/MacOSX commands
5- Remove battery, Insert micro SD card & then the battery
6- Hold Power + Home + Volume Down to enter Download Mode by bootloader on SD card
7- Flash Stock firmware via Odin & Enjoy
Downloads:
All files you may need are available in this folder
-So if some one can create a "you need to create your own Unbrick Image since I can't share it for the device-specific bootloader. Just run this Unbrick Image Creator in recovery & it'll create "/sdcard/Unbrick_Files" in your internal SD card." for me, id love to try it and see if it works.
I was running Android 5.1.1 With Rogers before it went down and wonder if someone can run the unbrick image creator and create an unbrick file for the rest of the Canadian Galaxy Note 4s.:good::[/QUOTE]

I just got the phone back from them and they couldn't do nothing at all & plus my phone isn't under warranty anymore.
I might just have to wait till a fix does come out.

they didnt even offer you to change some of the hardwares? the samsung service center near me will try to fix it and then if they are not able to fix it thru software then they will try to change the motherboard or battery it depends on what they think the problem is, next time dont just pull the battery especially when its trying to complete something.
I actually managed to get that unbrick thing working. My note 4 bricked just like yours. MMC Read failed constantly. Freezing and reboots. Until one day it just stopped turning on and would not go into download mode. I managed to get the note 4 file somewhere (I forgot where) and put it onto an external SD card and managed to get the phone into download mode. The phone still has the mmc read fail error at times and freezes and reboots. Still dont know what to do about that.

Lucky you! Hey, at least you have something to use.
Oh and Just hook it up to Samsung Kies or Odin and do a full factory reset, that should get rid of any bugs.

well the samsung service centers usually replace your phone.... for me it's a bad thing you lose a lot of data and you get criticised for rooting and they usually take longer to fix your device and the price is very expensive if not insured :/ but well they get the job done

good thing in here they didnt care if your rooted or not, or what you do to your phone before the problem exist, they just take your phone and fix it, the only thing they ask you is if its under warranty and if its okay to wipe the phone

Yea, i tried to look for the files.
Seems like theirs nothing at this moment for the snapdragons 805, but phones running on snapdragon 801 and 800s can be fully un-bricked from a "hardbrick"
atleast we all have a solid idea how to fix this issue thanks to AndriodBrick.
for now, what you could do is buy a new motherboard or go to a Samsung repair center and when the developers release a fix, just fix the bricked motherboard and sell it. :good:

Yea, for the unbirck img, not sure where to find the proper boot loader on stock ROM.
So 2nd method from the top post not worked or why it's stroked out? Or it needed special unbreak image that we haven't and it can be done with unbrick image creator?
So if I'm reading the op correctly then you just need someone with a working canadian note4 to run the unbrick image creator in recovery to make the needed unbrick file? Then this file can be flashed on non-working phones to unbrick them?
And I'm assuming working phone needs to be rooted with custom recovery?

Is there an Unbrick yet?
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F.
Suddenly, literally out of nothing it died.
No reaction when trying to power it on, no reaction when trying to charge it. nothing, literally NOTHING. (Also tried different chargers, sockets, cables, and 2 different batteries)
I did NOT root the phone, i did not use cheap chargers, everything was/is stock.
When i connect my Note 4 to my laptop, and go to device manager, it finds: QHSUSB_BULK
I dont know if it is bricked because i didnt do anything weird with the phone.
QUESTION 1: IF MY LAPTOP FINDS THE NOTE 4 AS "QHSUSB_BULK", IS IT NECCESSARILY BRICKED?
QUESTION 2: IF IT IS BRICKED, IS THERE A UNBRICK YET?
QUESTION 3: IF THERE IS NO BRICK, WILL A MOTHERBOARD REPLACEMENT DO THE JOB?
So this unbricking works only for Canadian phones? Am I saved?
I would love to hear the news. Because I think mine just got bricked today. And it is a Canadian version.

So yesterday I got a notification for an OTA update (I'm on sprint). I am rooted, have xposed, and have twrp installed. Partly because of my stupidity and also just to see what would happen, I clicked download and install now. Now the phone doesn't show any signs of life, even after taking out the battery and trying to drain the capacitors by holding down power then putting the battery back in. Doesn't show up on my computer when plugged in, and doesn't have any power led when charging. I've tried 4 batteries with it (lol I have too many) and they all don't work. They were all charged with external anker chargers. I've tried with the sim card and sd card taken out, too.
So yeah, my phone is dead and I have no idea what to do. I'm pretty sure I'm out of warranty because it's been two years and I've modified it.

You might consider to have a look here if you didn't do it already mate : http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/note-4-debrick-img-t3488114
If you need the debrick.img for the sprint varient, I can give you that.
I thought OTA would not install, if you were rooted and had a custom recovery.

Hey, thanks for the help. I'm not sure how to check if my device is hard bricked? Is it normal for there to be no signs of life at all, not even power LED or vibrations? I can't get my phone to the download mode in order to show up in odin so I'm not sure how I would flash the unbrick file. When I plug my phone into my computer windows says that the device has malfunctioned and I can't find it in the device manager.

It's worth to try it i think. Some users got back their phones to life using this method. @RDChase is offering you a debrick.img for your variant. This method is using sdcard so no worries at the moment with Odin
Similar thing here, Sprint, TWRP, rooted, stock rom one of the early ones v4.4.4?!
Over last couple month it kept trying to update itself at night, very sneaky!!!! I have disabled auto-download and update BUT clearly it found a way around it, bastards!
It was in a reboot loop, extremely hot and buzzing, woke me up in the middle of night, I thought it going to burst in flames like Note 7!
So I pulled the battery out and left it out till morning, but now it no longer powers up, no LED, black screen, PC keeps saying USB drive malfunction and un-recognized, can't put it in recovery or download mode! Odin doesn't detect it also. PC device manager doesn't detect it either! Used volt meter to check both batteries both are fully charged up, but it doesn't show LED charging light?!?
Is there any way to un-brick it?
Again, I repeat phone does not power up and PC doesn't detect it!
Please help, if I can't un-brick it than I have few days until end of year to catch deal on upgrade to LG V20, hopefully it can be un-looked and rooted????
Edit: Just read online there is possibility that Note 8 is coming out either in April or Early August 2017!!!!!!
I need my Note 4 working again and last until new Note 8 comes out!

It's worth to try it i think. Some users got back their phones to life using this method. @RDChase is offering you a debrick.img for your variant. This method is using sdcard so no worries at the moment with Odin

Will mounting De-Brick.img on sdcard even work if phone doesn't power on or go into download/recovery mode?
Yes. Instead of booting from internal memory, the cpu will boot from the external sdcard. Make sure you prepare it correctly however. The sdcard must be the 32GB+.
Take a look at this.

Is is for the s3, I know... However, it's the same stuff happening.
This works on a soc level, not the bootloader level.

Removed, can't get it back either

hi. once you get it to boot from sd card and configure the phone how do you make it so it can boot normally without the need for the sd card?

:good: Thank you for debrick.img was looking for Sprint one everywhere!
Is it supposed to be 128mb or around 4Gb?
Debrick.img doesn't includes stock Rom, does it? If it does which version?
Next Steps:
1. Copy debrick.img to sdcard?
2. Put in sdcard + battery +press VolDown+Home+Power?
3. USB connect to PC + flash new Rom using Odin?
4. Root again?
Is this correct way to do it?
Has it worked for anyone?

I'm confused, I correctly mounted the image to the sd card and I put it on the phone with a fully charged battery, and tried booting into download mode thru home + volume down + power. it doesn't show anything on screen or any LEDS. it's connected to the computer but it says "usb device malfunctioned". Thanks for your help
I can't get into download mode even with the unbrick sd card in, I mounted it with win32DiskManager and everything. No charging LED or screen or vibration at all.
I installed qualcomm drivers and it shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"
After some research looks like this is the only method that would solve my issue.. problem is that nobody has released the files needed to do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910w8-t3249970
Edit: Would a USB jig help me?
dead4ngel - to permanently fix it, just Odin the stock firmware
Others - I wasn't clear in how to prepare the SD card.
To prepare it properly you image the SD card with the debrick image file. This has to be on a 32+ GB SD card. (On a Linux machine where your in the folder with debrick-n910p.img is located and your SD card is /dev/sdx the command is dd if=debrick-n910p of=/dev/sdx)
You then put it in your phone, boot to download mode (it may take a few tries), then Odin a stock rom (PH1 or PK1 only) which MUST contain the bootloader
After this you don't need have the SD card be prepared like this, your bootloader will be fixed

:good: Again thanks a lot for debrick.img it worked, you saved my butt!
Here is what I did to make it come alive, it did take couple trial and errors on my part.
Warning DO NOT copy & paste image file directly onto sdcard, it wont work!
Instead use the diskimage win32 software that was mentioned in Debrick thread before.
I used it to unpack and write file from debrick.img onto 16GB sdcard (only one I have) using that little piece of software.
I plugged in sdcard + battery, than pressed power button and phone came back to LIVE:angel:
Now it is back in my original KitKat Rom v4.4.4 still booted from sdcard, I was able to transfer all my documents and photos to my PC, thank God!
Ps screen got very hot again while it tried to run another software update, I killed it with task manager and turned off Data+WiFi radios for now, until I re-Flash from Odin!
Now for next step to flash new ROM using Odin, do I have to flash original KitKat 4.4.4 or Lollipop 5.11 recovery or can I just flash stock Marshmallow 6.11?
Is there stock Sprint+rooted+De-Odexed Marshmallow 6.11 version I can safely flash?
Do I need to root again each new ROM?
pLz i want to update jn lollipop halp me
Sent from my Panasonic ELUGA Z using XDA Free mobile app
@RDChase One step forward two steps backward arhh!
Managed to put it into download mode + downloaded Marshmallow PK1
BUT still having issue with malfunctioning USB device "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)
I have installed Google & Samsung & Qualcomm drivers to no effect!
How do I fix it?
try differnt usb cords and/ports
unistall/reinstall samsung drivers
take a look at this
yes please !!!!

Before you ask for things, LOOK FOR THEM! I want YOU to find the link, This should help you.
Recently rooted my galaxy s10+, seemed to work fine at first, just the camera app causing the phone to crash, right now it's in a constant reboot loop where i can't enter recovery or download mode.
Phone is instantly rebooting when I plug in a usb cable so adb won't recognize the device nor will my pc in general.
Read up on a lot of threads online & what got recommended on older threads was booting from a debrick image off of your sd card, although i'm unsure if this'll work. regardless not that I can no longer boot the phone I'm unsure of how to generate this file to begin with, which is why I was hoping one of you guys might be able to help me out with generating or linking me to said debrick image.
Or if anyone knows of another way to possibly fix my phone, please do let me know.
Thanks in advance,
A galaxy s10+ user
I don't think there is a debrick image for the S10 or S10 plus. You might want to try flashing your stock firmware in Odin.
Not sure how I am supposed to flash it without having acces to Recovery or Download mode. Any suggestions
You can't get into recovery or download mode? Sounds like you might be hard bricked then. In that case, a phone repair shop might be your best bet.
Carry on with key combi v down and Bixby plus power
