Hey guys..in fact I originally had one problem/question, but since I managed to brick my phone, I now have 2 questions. Hope you can help me with at least the one I need to unbrick the phone and later on, after bringing my phone back to life (I hope), I´ll ask the less important one. If you dont want to read it all, please go to the last paragraph to see the final problem and question.
So here´s what happened. As I was trying out different kernels on a Note7 ROM for my 910F, I managed to brick my phone. Originally the phone would not boot into recovery and gives me the message that there is a problem with firmware..as I tried to boot in download mode to flash stock ROM and get back to it, Odin gives me the message FAIL in red colour. I tried flashing again and then another stock ROM and again the problem persisted. It came to the point where the phone would now say that it couldnt read mmc (non-partition message in ODIN). After several hours (still counting) of searching both here at XDA and outside I finally managed to understand how to create a image recovery into a sd card and so I did it.
I used Win32DiskImager to write this image ( mega:///#F!QIMmFRIT!Ns3AM-n0FUoMqOOWUif9ng ) into my sd card. With phone off I inserted battery and then card and booted into download mode...SUCCESS...no more mmc message at the top left of screen, but still I cant manage to flash any stock ROM and FAIL message keeps coming. One time it said PIT not recognized and I used a SM-N910F_32GB.pit and it said PASS, but if I try and flash with ROM still fails. In the instructions it says I need to flash at the same time the SM-N910F_32GB.pit, a BL,a AP and a CP, but I cant find any BL and CP to any specific AP. Is this the solution or I am missing something here? Please help..my phone is bricked and my s4 cant manage to be my daily driver no more.
Thanks everyone

Hello friend and thank you for your reply. I don´t know how I missed that thread, but I´m glad you told me about it cause it had exactly the missing components I needed to solve my problem. But a new one just emerged with it.
I´ll be posting there from now on. Thanks again

Hi there!
I have bricked my phone and it is in "download" mode.
Is there a way to "bring it back" with Odin?
Thanks!
M.
Did they repaired your phone for the second time? If not, what did they said? What did you do in the first place that you bricked it?

What do you mean by download mode? if you turn it on with vol up and down and power held, what happens?
Try put stock rom (2.3 or 2.2 depending on what was on phone before) in dload folder on sd card and it might flash firmware off that.
If you're on download mode then you can upload a recovery an boot image. Do it and use that to flash any rom you want.
I appreciate people trying to help. But sometimes it is good to stay quiet. So please, don't reply with funny suggestions.
Thanks.

I am just trying to say that sometimes it is better to no reply at all.
If i said that the telephone is bricked and only in download mode you should know what does it mean before you reply. That's all. No hard feelings.
Try using a FAT32 formatted sdcard, with nothing in it but the dload folder with a stock ROM.
Couple days ago, I deleted all files from my U8800's FAT32 and EXT4 partitons - yes, even the 'image' folder, connected to my Linux box.
Because I wanted to revert to stock Froyo, i dumped back partition 5, from a backup I did some months ago - but this part is not relevant.
Formatted the card, dumped the dload folder into it, with a card reader; removed the battery and followed the procedure described in your link.
First try, it displayed some error message - can't remember - second try it showed up the pink screen, followed by the blue screen and initiated the ROM flashing. My phone is now fine and dandy... Oh, it rebooted three times after installing stock Froyo, so don't be alarmed when you get there.
Cheers
Good luck

I tried all you mentioned 30 X and more then that But no success
Btw: if you dumped back your partition from backup you had access to internal memory ... i don't have that connection neither on Ubuntu or Windows. I got pink screen but it is in "Download mode" only.
Thanks.
Can you explain me how did you get your Huawei u8800 enter in Download mode if it's a feature of some samsung smartphones to work with odin ?
You're being a little rude for those who're tryin' to help you, you should be more polite ma friend...
You didn't even say what rom were you using... so I guess you don't even deserve any help from anybody.
Peace
I've had download mode on my previous Android device - LG GT540. All it needed to enter such mode was to remove the battery, SIM and sdcard , and plug the USB cable. It would enter download mode and allow a stock ROM to be flashed with the standard LG update tool.
Actually, I dumped partition 5 back to the phone prior to erasing every file system in it, and indeed had pink screen mode access in order to do it...
Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I've installed some custom ROM and after reboot it stopped to boot in HUAWEI logo. And that was it. I have tried to install official ROM's all of them with standard methods (dload folder) but every time ends in step 2/2 (installation failed or something like that). I opened up new thread with that few weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466953
This thread was supposed to answer my question at the top. And some guys did. I don't know how can thread be closed by the author. I've try to find it but with no success.
I appreciate people like to help. But if people don't know what i am asking why answering and asking questions that are answered in many threads before.
You see .. this thread should be as small as possible but ends with looong explanations which doesn't help at all
Peace.

We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
I tried to install CWM earlier today and its gone wrong and now i get the dreaded error message
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue etc
Kies wont recover it either.
Now im hoping i can get it going again quickly
Just from skimming through here while trying to pack i gather i need to use odin to reflash the stock firmware.
I wouldnt normally ask but could some nice person spoon feed me given the circumstances of time constraints

All you need to do is search google. No one spoon feeds you in real life so no one shouldn't spoon feed you here also.

Hello all!
First of all i want to thank this site (and the people behind it) that makes everything android possible.
I feel privileged to be a member of this forum specially on rough times like what i am facing right now.
I rooted my Galaxy A8-A800i the other day and everything went great. I followed the instructions that i found here. Unfortunately, yesterday i turned off the OEM Unlock on my phone. Now, as the thread title says it. it is stuck on the Logo Screen with the annoying " Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock ". i read a guide that ashyx made and i felt stupid. I didn't know that turning the OEM Unlock will do that to my Phone.
Right now, I am digging deep on this forums to try and revive my phone that is currently in Brick state.
i am downloading a firmware from sammobile for my phone, the problem i have is... i don't know how to use it. I don't know much about my phone but I do want to learn a lot and i know that this is the right place. I would like to ask assistance on how to use the firmware that I am downloading right now, and also, can i make the Knox Counter go "0" again?
Thanks for everything guys. I highly appreciate everything i've learned here so far.

Thank you!... i downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile. but whenever i extract it there's a rar message saying it is corrupted so i DLed a new one, it has the same result. I haven't tried using it to fix my phone but i will try right now. Ill give an update on how it goes.
Tried flashing the new firmware but Odin can't detect my phone. i have the latest Driver for SAMSUNG and i have the latest Odin. I tried restarting my phone and my computer several times but it still fails. i am really frustrated and our of options right now. Even if Odin detects my phone there's no guarantee that the stock firmware will be installed properly since it always shows corrupt when i extract it from zip

Install the Samsung drivers first, reboot your pc.
Start odin in Admin mode then put your device in download mode, plug in the usb cable. Your device should be detected.
Don't try flashing a corrupt firmware, it will be rejected anyway as it will fail the md5 check.
I suggest you use a different browser to download.
@ashyx hey! thanks for all your help. my internet went offline while i was trying to respond to the other thread. my phone is now fixed with your help. Thank you so much! only took 3 mins for the while Odin flashing to complete

but how? I have installed official firmware and flashed via odin and it shows"success", but then it gets stuck in the samsung logo. please help
Hello and I apologise in advance for the size of the post. I'll try to be as succinct as possible but there's a lot to say. First off, I had a Wind Note 3. Then sick of the reception I swapped to Mobilicity. I rooted the phone 8 mos. ago and it went well, but a month later when I tried to install a new rom with Odin I did something wrong. To the best of my abilities, i made sure that what I was installing was for my type of phone. My Note ended up caught in an unending rebooting process with the message 'Recovery Booting...Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing Set Warranty Bit: recovery'. So I reconnected it to Odin and let it do its thing and I had a mediocre working phone. The menu and back keys were useless. I lived like that until I saw this post. So I downloaded the first item from this site. For Gapps I got the first choice of this list . However when I went to put my mobile in recovery mode it did the same 'Recovery Booting' message as it did the last time. Then I ran Odin again with this and while the phone was still not working properly when I tried to boot on recovery mode it allowed me to. I then uploaded the new rom but I got this message: (please follow this link for pictures.
So I need some guidance in what to do even if it is to tell me to use it as a paperweight. However, I think there's still hope for it. Any input will be much appreciated it.
I suggest you start over by flashing a stock rom from sammobile.com.

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..

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
