Hi i have managed to hard brick my NOTE 3 N9005 International version <<stupid i know
I really need someone to help me ( a developer possibly??) and help me obtain the UNBRICK.img from the note 3 source code for the
N9005 so i can mount it to a SD card via Linux. As this is impossble for me to get myself (as my phone is hard bricked which means i cant turn it on!) i really need help
a similair unbrick image and unbrick method can be found here>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2476353
(but that image cant work for my n3 version)
Any body who helps will recieve a nice donation for their hard work (providing it works)
Thanks community for taking the time to read my message.

hey thanks for the reply,
no as the phone is hard bricked its 100% unusable, if it would even switch on that would be fantastic.
its more complex than soft brick.
im having the same problem... is your note alive again?
Return it and claim warranty, tell them that your phone suddenly went off and that you don't know the reason. They may replace the board for you.
wow thats sad

Then it's up to you to convince your client to return it to Samsung for warranty. As for recovering his data, that is the hard part.

Do you mean the bootloader that needs to be written as T-Flash to a microsd using Odin 3.09 or higher? (as per 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf) Isn't that just the same as sboot.bin written raw to first sectors of microsd?
I would be interested to hear if you managed to use that just for the "extreme hacking" angle of it :good:

hi sorry way over my head
this was back in October. I tried using an unbrick.img for the sm905 N3 Flashed to microsd and I was supposed to just
put in the sd card in my phone so it could boot into download mode but was unsuccessful as I needed an unbrick.img made up for my device
model sm9005. hope that helps.
Thanks

I do not think the microsd is enough - the Note3 ONLY boots from microsd if you short R4075 on the mainboard - there is a notice from Samsung service somewhere around with a name like 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf that describes the details (and comes with a good picture of what you need to short).

Take the battery out to power off the device then try getting into Download mode, reflash your Firmware and voila you're good to go

Hi guys...
Now today was a total disaster..
my phone was getting slow and i decided hey, lets root the phone and install some new custom roms so i can get rid of them unessessary programs..
WELL... this is where it went totally wrong.
After trying to wipe the phone before installing the new custom rom and gapp, I by accidently removed the _WHOLE OS_ on the phone, and now all that I can do with it,
is boot it and when it boots it gets stuck on the Galaxy S4 screen at the very beginning..
Now I have no clue what to do and how to get my phone working again...
If there's anyone who could help me to get it up running again I would appreciate it Alot, and I mean ALOT.
My phone is Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Please someone help.
And as I said, the phone is totally empty ( I guess.... ) ?
Can you get into download mode? You need to go to Sam mobile and download your firmware and then use Odin 3.09 to flash it to your phone?

I once made a mistake like this and seems like I didn't learn from it, but I got a link from someone to download the file from and just flash it with odin and the phone started working again.
Is there a way to still do this? and if so how do i find a link to get it from :s

OK Google on how to check a md5. Your md5 on your download needs to match the one in the website you got it from. It could be a bad download. If they match I recommend re doing the process. If they don't then you need to download it till they do.

Like I said earlier, download your firmware from samfirmware, flash it with odin. It's easy as pie and you won't lose your warranty cause it's official firmware, if that's what you're worried about.

Sorry for a late reply,
from the top of my head: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969
That's for SGS3 but everything goes exactly the same for Note 3. As for the firmware files you need to register an account at samfirmware (just type it in google) and search for your model and download the package. Unzip it, inside there are two files, just ignore the small one and extract the other. Flash it accordingly to the tutorial from the link above.
EDIT: Read the tutorial and make sure you understand it before flashing! This if done incorrectly may brick your device.
Don't worry, first times always hurts;P
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for the SM-G530T1? I've looked and have not been able to find it.
Edit: It would be possible to get the firmware using the IMEI number in SmartSwitch. Unfortunately I and another are unable to access our IMEI number from the settings in the phone since our phones are bricked. We'll need someone else with the phone to take care of that. It would be tremendously appreciated!

I'll see if that works. Thank you for the info.
Edit: Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I found my IMEI number using the method described by Eker. Also, the IMEI number is on the sticker behind the battery but it doesn't say it's the IMEI number, so now we know that. It's the number above the long bar code with the slashes in it.
The bad news is that SmartSwitch says the device is unsupported and when picking "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization" from the "MORE" menu at the top, nothing appears in the first tab and in the second tab, entering the phone model (SM-G530T1) brings up a new box asking for a serial number. I entered the IMEI number (with and without the slashes) but it says the serial number entered is not corrected. Same thing using Samsung Kies 2 & 3.
I don't know what to do

Even with serial number it wont be possible, smart switch just closes with serial number. Looks like samsung doesn't support smart switch recovery for this device.

hi everyone, bought my wife the above phone (from china) and it arrived but wont update ota or via kies, i have also tried odin3 but to no avail.
phone says it is xsi csc (uae region) and i have tried to update is several differnt ways but no joy.
odin keeps failing whatever rom i try to flash to it.
the main problem is that she plays this specific game that will not install on it because its apperntly not compatable (i have the exact same phone and said game runs fine on that)
this has been kicking my butt all day and i really could use some help.
many thanks
