My original issue got resolved thanks to s15274n. This mans ROOT walkthrough is amazing!!!!!
NOW I have a problem getting my ROM to load.
Im trying to Install the Malice ROM. and nothing is going quite as smoothely as I think it should.
This is attempt 2, the first time I waited an hour to try and install this rom, straight from SD, and I think the furthest it got was "installing ROM"
nothing. pull the batery out (I assume thats a total noob move, and at beast ill-advisable.) rebooted, went about my day. well, im trying again, and now the furthest ive gotten is "Installing update" the status bar is never filling or scrolling though.
Whats the problem? (going on about 15 minutes with no change btw)
You must use Odin to either
-Flash back to stock so you can reinstall packages
or
-Flash a voodoo integrated kernel so you can flash roms w/ CWM/Voodoo Recovery
Download a voodoo kernel and flash it using odin.
ok, I have the kernal and I have ODIN. once again I have never used ODIN< I definately used a one click root.
does anybody have a link to a thread with *detailed*, hold my hand, walk me through it and pat me on the butt at the end Instructions on this? It's a learning process and damn if im not learning something by the time this is all said and done lol.
last time it sat still for me when it said installing update, it was a bad download. I redid my download of the rom and it went through fast and smoothly. Thats how i fixed my prob maybe it will fix it for u.
I really need some help i want to cry
I got the samsung galaxy s(vibrant) and it doesnt go pass the welcome screen im trying to install a rom but i dont know how have looked over thing i installed odin3 and everything else but when i plug it to the usb it doesnt show on my computer idk why and nothing shows on the id com for odin someone plz tell me this can be fixed please can someone plz plz help me i begg you from the bottom of my heart

do you have the .pit and .tar files? Also, are you turning your phone off? There is an awesome guide by s15274n called the noob guide. It goes over very specifically how to root, it also has a small tutorial on rooting using ODIN3. Search the q&a forum, i believe thats where the guide is.
Also just to clarify, im not saying ur a noob or inept, im just saying its a super awesome guide. My phones neen rooted for three days now, ive flashef a bunch of roms and i always flash nack to stock...REALLY helpful tutorial. Good Luck!
Hello all , Cople of days ago i decided to try a custom rom as the stock one got too boring.
Any way i`ve installed CM7 used it for cople of days , then last night i got kinda bored with it and decided to try another one (axura i belive)
as usual i used rom manger , pressed the back up option , the device rebooted into recovery , but when he started to do the backup i got the msg "cant mount system".
and iam stuck since then , cant restore to an older backup (cant mount system) , cant flash new rom (status 7 error) , i`ve also tryed to install new karnel (netchary) , didnt help either.
when i try to reboot , i stuck on the logo...
please help me guys , i despered
sorry if its not the right place for this.
help please i cant use my phone guys !
thanks.
have you tried to do a clear data/factory reset in recovery?
also clear cache and dalvik, then try to reflash the rom.
Im sure this has occured many times before to others. You should just look through the forums a bit
did all that allready , nothing helped , also couldnt find any thing like that in the forum , well there was a cople but with other devices...

well you can always go for the last resort and use odin to reflash your device as if you just had received it.
Look up odin in the forums or on the samsung website. Just make sure you choose the right nexus s model or you might brick your phone like someone else did on xda...
can you give me more details on how to use it ?
i dont really understand what does it mean download mode , and how i flash some thing using odin...a guid could be very helpful.
So many of us was at this point sometimes, maybe due to knowledge is poor, maybe its just glitches, but we all make mistakes, cause we are humans. So humans wanna show you how to fix your LG G3 D855 model when you get errors like : -Secure boot error (mostly due to wrong recovery flash,as far i know, you will correct me if am wrong anyway)
- Boot verification failed.
In both scenarios you cant access recovery or download mode. Phone just reboots and screen gone black with LED blinking red and blue to the eternity. I am here to help u restore your phone to former condition.
I take no credits for this , cause i just reuploaded files, and rewriten text and everything , cause old post on has been deleted and i cant find it anywhere, but i still got the files in my PC.
Just download all the files in folder at Drive, and folow instrucions given as they are. BTW there are pictures, so u can do it wrong only if u are ...u know.
Dont hold me responsible for any damage on your device. I tryed this metod about 10 times in a row, so i am confirming that it works.
This metod dont require you to short anything, its just click-click-click, connect...you get it .
Sorry cause my grammar, but my English is little rusty since i wasnt using it in a really long time.
Good luck people!

KDZ file which you put in flashtool folder : http://oceanhost.eu/dsqnjfke3ueq/D85520H_00.kdz.htm
Important. What about refurbished g3, flashing wrong kdz will cause a super brick, first off all check the variant from the motherboard or just on the back of phone.
boot verification Fail !!! - Cause: MISMATC SIG LEN
I had a problem s LG g3 d850: after trying to flash rikaveri phone is not charged and does not go into the kind of rekaveri oshybki boot verification Fail !!! - Cause: MISMATC SIG LEN, after etoj inscriptions tolto indicator flashes blue krasnіm i . Help how to get back in aparata robochem state.
Tried your method does not poluchaetsa can be detailed instructions ? On the phone firmware 6.0
Guys one thing to be kept in mind.most of refurbished d855 doesn't come d855 board.so such errors arise because of wrong model of recovery flashing.so confirm your model by opening your phone and looking at the board.

What OS do you use ? Try to disable driver signing at starting your pc . Then reinstall drivers, restart PC, then pull battery out, conect device, and then insert batery . Should work .

Thank you so much! What would I do without you
Got "Boot verification failed" when I got into the secret menu and tried to do "device test".
I got Fulmics 6 ROM installed and the device failed for some reason to load the MiniOS (used by the "device test").
Wasted about 5 hours until I got to this post.
This post was so useful I almost cried out of joy.
THANKS!!!
EDIT:
mirrored the files in dropbox:

For some reason the BoardDiag available here didn't work for me. It would always says "Serial port open FAILED".
I tried with willcracker version and it worked. You can download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359
Just a few questions before I begin, I'm obviously... u know :
1. First, I install the drivers. In what state should the phone be in when I connect it to the PC? Probably in the only possible state, that means with the screen blank and the red and blue leds blinking, correct?
2. Do I have to remove the battery before connecting the phone?
3. Flashing the last partition, sbl1, causes the phone to reboot, right? So, in the last step when flashing the kdz, does the phone have to be in download mode?
Thanks!

Np bro.
Please help me. I have installed all drivers but my G3 D855 is not getting detected by my pc. My pc is running on Windows 7 64bit. Please help me..!
in case anyone is bothering with this in 2020+ on windows10, i did run into a few hiccups and managed to boot a 'bricked' phone I bought for 50 eur
1. Only install the approproate driver for your windows architecture of QDLoader
2. If LGFlashTool2014 is demanding mfc100.dll, you need to install a Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, yes, the x86 one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
3. If after launching LGFlashTool2014 once, then closing, then launching again it doesn't turn on, you need to follow these steps: go to C:\Users\<YourWindowsUsername>\AppData\Local\Temp and delete everything you can, these are temporary files that programs on your pc store, they're not important, but LGFlashTool2014 for some reason makes some files that prevent it from launching
Since then the phone crashed a few times so I understand now how it got bricked, a faulty motherboard most likely, going to try baking it as described here: https://redd.it/5e0nx7 but this is irrelevant to the thread and just here for anyone stumbling upon in the distant dystopian future
Very informative post.

very good post.
Hey community!
I have a friends note 4 SM-910F that doesn't respond at all that needs to be revived.
Status: No LED, No recovery mode, no download mode, Win64 PC recognizes it sometimes as QHSUSB (Its the snapdragon CPU), battery is fine and original (also tried different ones)
I already tried: to flash somehow a new fw through Odin, but no success because its not able to go in DL mode.
Tried to put the battery out and wait several times (1 2 3 method).
Tried to create a bootable image with SD but no success.
Tried to charge it for hours, but it wouldn't even get warm at the points where it usually gets warm through charging.
Tried many different things like smashing the power button, pressure on display etc. but also no success.
The Note was never rooted and fully Stock 6.0.1 Android from Samsung (updated directly in the phone through wifi).
It worked pretty good, but then it lagged almost every few minutes, shut itself down and now its bricked.
I hope you guys can help us out somehow. You can also suggest us some different tipps, because I'm actually pretty good in reviving phones, but this one really doesn't want to start no matter what.
Greets!
any solution I'm in the same situation
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Have u tried software recovery trough smartswitch?
I was in same situation before and i solved successfully.but you will need another working note 4 for this method and a micro sd card 16gb minimum. instructions to unbrick your note 4( 1, you will need to download latest firmware for your model ( 2, a working note 4 same model ) (3.fully formated micro sd card) (4,odin software to flash firmware) once you downlaod latest firmware open odin in your pc and look in odin options for( T flash) tick on tflash and now put micro sd card in your working note 4 and unzip firmware that you downladed and click AP and select firmware file and and hit start remember this will install firmware to your micro sd card after odin pass put the micro sd card in your bricked note 4 and press power button for about 8 to 10 seconds and leave phone for few minutes and phone should boot automatically. If it does not boot at first time try couple of times.Once phone back to life go to download mode and flash firmware normally( without Tflash) i hope this will help. I have successfully unbricked note 3 n9005 and note 4 n910t with this method. follow the instructions take your time this will work hopefully.
Thanks for your answers!
I have a working note4, same model, so i think i will try your method with tflash. Does this method do anything to my working Note4? Because i don't wanna risk a second bricked Note ?
But first I'm going to try to clean the inner parts of the bricked one because i guess it might was damaged by water once and started to corrodate (idk if its the right word for starting to rust, I'm not a native english speaker, but i think you know what i mean).
I've read about that symptoms. They are often caused by water.
Do you think thats a good idea?

no this method won't effect your working note 4 at all but I think you are still not sure that phone is bricked or damaged by water . then make sure before try anything or In my opinion take to repair centre at least to know what is the issue.

I think that water damage is only an option, because the phone was bought used.
I decided to try the SD method and if it won't succeed i will try to clean the inner parts.
Just change Eklypt's first post to model number SM-N910G and it would be mine.
I have a bricked note 4, and it has the exact same symptoms. This is after a USB board change to fix the dodgy port.
I did try to flash it, but I am a complete noob when it comes to ODIN and I probably did more harm than good.
The one time the screen did display, I got the error message "mmc_read failed, could not do normal boot". (Not necessarily in that order on the screen, but you get the idea.)
I would like to try the "flash the SD card with T-flash" method, but I don't have another working note 4.
The main question:
Can I flash a card using a note 2 and use it to resurrect my note 4?
Any and all help would be appreciated with many kudos and cookies etc.
Tried the method above with (partial) success....
Started with a completely black screen Note 4, now I'm in download mode with the message "TFlash boot".....
But when I try to flash a firmware with Odin, it always fail with the message "MMC READ FAIL"....
QPST tool
Hi folks,
I have done some many hours of research on this. I have not had success, but I have at least made progress. :fingers-crossed:
RECAP: I am trying to unbrick an SM-N910G Note 4. It has all the hard brick symptoms (No screen, no hardware key response, no Odin etc.), and shows up in the device manager under COM ports as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)".
I read this post - (droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/)
This writer (Kunal Barccha) uses a tool known as QPST.
(androidbrick.com/download/latest-qpst-2-7-build-422-425-430-437-qfil-qualcomm-flasher/ <--- This link will take you to a download page which will list four versions of QPST).
I am currently using QPST build 422, and I have installed the Qualcomm drivers found in his post.
This has improved matters, as I can actually see the phone with the program.
Unfortunately, I don't have the correct files to make use of the QPST Software Download program.
I need a phone image file. I suspect it can be extracted from a working Note 4 by taking a complete system image, but I don't have access to a working Note 4. <--- Help on this anyone?
I am sure that just about any Qualcomm chipset can be repaired using this tool (It's the factory tool after all) with the right files and familiarity. :victory:
The catch? Don't come crying to me for files, I'm looking for them myself too!
Warning :- Don't download or install any QPST that goes by version 4.2.2! It contains a keylogger. You can find the relevant post elsewhere on the XDA site.
Happy hunting for a solution and if you find one I wanna know cause I wanna use it too! :highfive:
Hi guys!
I would just like to start by apologizing for making another thread about a bricked note4, however I have read about so much I don't know which advice to go with anymore. I'm also a complete novice when it comes to this.
So long story short, my note 4 started playing up and lagging, eventually not turning back on at all. After endless attempts using odin and flashing what I seemed to have thought was the right firmware, it whittled down to about 1 in 5 attempts of trying to enter download mode (using the buttons) on the phone actually working. Now its completely bricked...no power, no download mode, nothing!
Just like to reiterate, I'm a complete novice,sorry if I'm not making sense, my knowledge doesn't go further than articles and google!
I have tried using kies to recover my phone and it cant recognize it...
I have read about using adb to get my phone into download mode, but I couldn't understand the explanation given well enough to use it...
I bought a 16gb micro sd card and have tried writing an unbrick image to it but I get no response off my phone, also tried another file, possibly sdc? cdc? cant quite remember, but that failed too.
I don't even know if the files I'm using are correct, I got them from a forum on here.
I'm at a loss!
The only hope I have left is if someone is able tell me if any steps I have tried are correct, and possibly provide me with the correct unbrick image?
Also, when I plug my phone into my computer via usb, there is a noise that sounds but nothing else happens, don't know if these means anything. As far as I'm aware I also have correct drivers installed.
Sorry about the long explanation!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Lucy.
Only logical result from your explanation is you have a hardware problem.
I dont think you are gonna be able to solve it with software...
Time for service visit i guess..

Nope.. I have no idea.. Sorry
Try the sd recovery method .
First you can try to flash the pit partion .
You can find that on xda .
Just search for note 4 pit files.
Download the n910f pit file with correct csc.
TRY flashing via download mode.
Try flashing .
Use this guide for using sd card to get into download mode if you cant access download mode
There is a method for http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57e756f41dc6e/read me for brick fix.txt
