Hi all members of xda, sorry for my bad english, i will try to explain what exactly is happening with my phone.
I power it on, it`s vibrating and appear "Samsung Galaxy S5........POWERED by android", and that`s all, it continuously restarts itself until i remove the battery.
I can`t enter in recovery mode, it`s restarting from there continuously too... In download mode i can enter, and there at PRODUCT NAME it says is SM-G901F, but under the battery is SM-G900F.
In download Mode this is all what it says: "ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
Product Name: SM-G901F
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: ENABLE
UDC START"
This is all.
So, i think that boy from who i bought the phone tryed to root it or flash it with another rom?
Can anyone help me please? Thank you.
What it says the model number is when in download mode is what needs to be believed. There seems to be a lot of this lately.....devices being marketed/sold as the more popular 900F variant when they are not.
You have to get the correct firmware from sammobile or samsung-updates and flash it with odin. I doubt it's the person who sold it to you as apparently nothing can change the info in download mode, and the sticker says something else. The seller may have tried to flash a 900F firmware, but that is probably all he's guilty of......

Thank you @keithross39, i flashed it but for the first time when he booted up, he passed the "Samsung Galaxy S5....Powered by android" screen, appeared T-Mobile and then he restarts again...and it don`t work yet....keeps restarting itself...
I have and printscreen with odin when it passed but i can`t put it, after 10 posts only.
So what can i do next? Any ideas? Some roms? Thanks.
Try accessing recovery now you have flashed (Vol up, home and power keys together) and wiping cache and/or wiping data/factory resetting.

@keithross39, appears in left up corner Recovery booting... but its restarting, doesn`t enter in recovery menu...
Can you tell me which version of Android you flashed?......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
This one DTM-G901FXXU1BPA2-20160125170733 @keithross39
5.0.2 from Germany (T-Mobile).
Try flashing this........

It IS for the 901F, but it's what the hosting website calls a 'repair' firmware.
So it is supplied as separate files that have to be loaded into their corresponding 'slots' within Odin. I'm guessing it will be unbranded too. But being a repair firmware, it stands a better chance of successfully flashing and booting than a normal firmware.

Just finished to flash it and still keeps restarting, didn`t worked @keithross39
What about recovery now, can you access it and do the wipes?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
No, keeps restarting... What if the owner accidently flashed rom for G901F but the phone model is G900F? It can be?
Download mode says 901F.....
AFAIK the info in download mode is hardcoded into the device and can't be changed.....
I can't see how it'd be any other variant....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Ok, so what i can do more? With box maybe it can be done? Or you don`t know @keithross39? I am very greatful for your time.
So far, everything you've tried would have put your device back to stock and wouldn't have affected knox.....
Knox is regularly used by Samsung to assess whether your device receives a warranty repair. As long as knox remains at 0x0 (as seen in download mode) your warranty is intact.....
Going custom is your only other option and that will trip knox and void your warranty. I can suggest how you can go custom, but it's up to you whether you want to torpedo your warranty when the ability to flash your device successfully is in question.
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
@keithross39 the warranty expired. If you say that custom rom will make it work, i say let`s try it...
Don't get me wrong fella....I'm not saying this WILL work.....
There is an element of risk whenever you attempt to modify a device. As I said, I can provide you the information that *should* set you along the correct path, but at the end of the day there are never any guarantees, and it's down to you whether you want to take the risk or not
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Ok, i understand mate, i will take the risk, anyway what can go more wrong...
Lol....don't even *think* that sort of question, let alone type it on a public forum......
Ok....here goes, but first, the usual disclaimer....
"This information is provided for information only. Neither I, nor anybody else on XDA is liable if you choose to undertake the processes set out below. By choosing to complete the steps below, YOU are assuming responsibility for the working (or otherwise) condition of the device when the processes have been completed"......
Having said that, members of XDA will always voluntarily try to help you recover your device if things go wrong.
Get your TWRP from here.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-t3110930
Get your SuperSU from here.....
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Follow these instructions.....
1) deactivate 'Reactivation Lock' (can be found under Security in Settings).
2) copy SuperSU zip to your device/external memory card.
3) boot into download mode.
4) Odin flash TWRP.
5) DO NOT allow phone to boot, (uncheck auto reboot in odin and if necessary remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed) then.....
6) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)
7) flash SuperSU zip.
You now have root and can flash your choice of custom rom for your device.

@keithross39, how can i make step 1? And i don`t know how to make step 2 neither... :-/
Step 1 can be (at least) checked by booting into download mode and reading the info on the screen. In your first post, your info showed that reactivation lock was off.....hopefully that hasn't changed.
Step 2 requires a micro SD card. You copy the SuperSU zip to that and put it into the phone.

Hello everyone!
I need a little advice to fix my softbricked note 4
So here are the facts:
I boght a bricked N910F i tryed different roms from sammobile using odin and twre, more than 7 to be specific, and most of them did t work as it shoul. My imei was the same as on the case but i noticed SN was different in system and knox 0x1.... I got a version of android 6.0.1 to work but there were different little, big problems like not rememering wi fi passwords, fingerprint not working version :null in testing, and often restarts and bootloops after installing different aplications. i tryed many things even repartition with proper pit file, i still had back-up of my efs but considering the serial number was screwed up i gave up trying anything else. I tryed rooting with different methods but everything failed.
I boght another N910F with screen broken but working mainboard and knox 0x0
Swaped the mainboard, tryed samsung kies 1, entered serial and model and it gave me the fw i needed to flash. Tryed flashing with kies and at the middle of transfer it said failed and phone froze, didnt even power on for a while. Tryed again after a few howrs, same rezult with message emmc read fail, and at the bottom emmc write fail.
kies said i need PDAG2/CSCE2 / PHONEE3 CNX
Now, later in the evening i managed to power it on agan and i dont know what to try so i dont screw up with knox
Here are some pictures of my current status:
Current status: cant post picture...
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME SM-N910F
CURRENT BINARY Samsung Official
System Status Official
REACTIVATION LOCK OFF
Knox 0x0
qualcomm secureboot enable csb
RP SWREV S1 T1 R1 A1 P1
secure download enable
UDC STAR
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
What should i try next?
Thanks
Later Edit:
looked up on youtube and found that smart switch can do the work, tryed it and seems it went all the way and installed proper rom without fail. LOL
Morning edit:
So everything worked perfect last night so i left it on fastcharger. In the morning i found it in download mode with dii emmc read fail, could not do normal boot.... After this i have to let it rest a bit without battery, then it boots up ok, works a few minutes then it shuts down and never wake up

I found the only way to keep it working is by preventing it to go into sleep mode. Play music on repeat muted keeps it working
Lucky i have fast chargers and 3 battery
i tried different keep alive apps but they eventually fail and phone dies

Actually Odin must detect the phone in download mode if correct drivers are installed. You may try this. Try to install TWRP recovery in your device. And than install CM 12.1 in it. But the best option is to download latest firmware for your mobile from Sammobile & flash it via Odin. Try to reinstall the drivers in your PC and see. Hope it will help.

WELL FROM experience for galaxy s duos 2 when the phone receive some kind of electric choc or smth cpu config may reset
Hi,
i'm having some trouble with my note 4. so i recived the note from a friend and she told me what was the problem. the problem is that she would turn it off then when she trys to attempt to turn it back on it will show the samsmung boot screen then all black with the blue and white(maby baby blue, i cant tell exacly)and sometimes boots a 2nd or 3rd time. leave it like that and the phone would start getting hot. so i used odin and installed a freash BL, CP, and CSC. then i left the phone withpout the battery for about 10 minute's then i put the battery back on and turned it on. it worked! but after a while i accidentaly turned it off. the same problem was back(i dont know if this is important but when ever u tryed to update the software it would alway's fail). so i thought why dont i just install freash clean OS and i whont have to face this problem again. i installed android 5.0.1 and it did not work, this time the blue adn white notification light was not on. so i installed it again but only the BL. the light was back. please help me on what to do or give me a link to a legitament clean OS. i've tryed every trick! pull out the battery then press and hold the power button to drain out the ramining power and leave the phone for about 10 min. try to go in recovery mode(when i try to do this, it goes all black also), install a clean freash OS, ECT. im running out of options! what should i do! it cant be the hardware because everything was working fine. it cant be the screen because i've personally seen the screen work perfectly fine, plus the samung boot logo( the "samsung galaxy note 4 powered by android" boot). i dont know what to do!
Reboot into download mode and see what firmware is on it. then download the latest MM 6.0.1 firmware and flash it with odin. Depending on the model, the BL may be locked to prevent flashing older firmware. If that doesn't work you may have to flash a pit file with the firmware but that is last resort. If you can take a picture of what download mode says and post it here it would be way easy to help you fix it bro

imsorry but i am unable to post a link nor a picture due me being a new user.
but it does say this:

Ok here's the scoop I have a Note 4 SM-N910W8 On Bell
A month or so ago for some odd reason it stopped connecting to any of my pc's with known good cable, so something went wrong with the MTP USB setting although it was enabled in phone settings. It did charge when plugged in to PC tho.
So the phone is rooted with TWRP & I wanted the stock recovery to try & fix the USB issue, so I downloaded Flashify & tried installing the stock recovery BUT now something also went wrong with the flash.
Now the phone will not boot to OS nor will it boot into recovery mode. It will however boot into ODIN Download mode, but this does me no good because it still will not connect to my PC.
Here's what happens when I try & boot when I press just the power button. The Samsung screen flashes for just a second & @ the top left in Blue it says RECOVERY BOOTING......
Could not do normal boot
Odin mode (High speed)
Product name: sm-n910w8
Current binary: custom
System status custom
Reactivation lock: off
Knox warranty void 0x1 (4)
qualcomm secureboot: enable (csb)
APswrev s1, r1, a1, p1
secure download : enable
udc start
I also get the exact same screen when I try & go into recovery (3 button up) mode, & when the phone is off then plugged into PC.
Once its plugged into pc I get no sound that Win7 has recognized it nor is anything to do with it in Device Manager.
3 button down odin mode works as normal but obviously my pc still does not recognize it..
Because it will not connect to ODIN is there anything I can do to fix this phone..??
Please help if you can in any way.
Thank You !!
EDIT: I'm also pretty sure it had the Emotion Kernel on it if that helps any

I know you said it doesn't connect with Odin, but give this a try. It worked when I couldn't Odin or use recovery because the phone only did download mode. Credits to xda member for the post. Good luck https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70652492&postcount=10

I assumed that you have the latest Samsung drivers from their website and if anything Samsung brand other than the Note 4 is connected Windows recognizes the device?.

Yes I bought another used note 4 to replace this one & its recognized as soon as its plugged in as is all the other samsung devices I own.
Smart Switch also does not recognize the phone.. :/
I've tried Odin, Smart Switch, Kies, ADB, MobileGo, SkipSoft Toolkit, and probably a few other apps but none will recognize the phone. I doubt the mini USB port is damaged because the phone goes to download mode when it gets power from the pc or when plugged into a wall charger.
Looong shot.... But I was watching max's new video from high on Android on you tube on how to update the s7 to nougat..... Ok to the point he flashed the phone but couldn't get into recovery the standard way, he did this button combination I'd never see before. Watch the video and give that a go. Long shot

Anyone know where the jtag pins are on the sm-n910w8 ?
If one were to buy one of those jtag boxes, which work & which don't ?
I fixed my phn I had a faulty charge port + a messed up bootloader.
Anyway I need a new one & wondering if anyone knows if the N910T connectors are the same as sm-n910w8..
Peace
