If you follow that tutorial as a guideline instead of following of step by step, and if you're trying to port a Sammy ROM, there's a good chance to succeed
But as I said, with this you can only port Samsung ROMs (obviously 4.1.1 base=4.1.1 port, and so on)
Tried to port SGS2 stock rom.
Followed step by step, flashed OK, bootlogo Samsung, then balck screen and hard brick.
Evene if I plug phone to PC and insert battery, it find something but keeps restarting so I cannot even use odin3.
So jtag or repair center.

Thats very bad news. Good luck
Doh! No download or recovery mode?
Yeah no download no recovery.
And I looked into ported rom and there is not kernel inside. Dunno what bricked it.
And for bad luck, Medusa Box broke last week. I planned to buy one next month.
But wierd is that if connected to PC, it show some device found, but keeps refreshing all the time.
Send it to my frined to jtag it, hope it will be ok next week.
Ready for next try with second phone. Hope not bricking this time again.
May the force be with you my friend
Galaxy S2 has Exynos chipset Galaxy S3 Mini has ST-Ericsson NovaThor chipset I wouldn't try it in a million years.
Thats why i am trying Xperia U.
Same chipset, almost same resolution. But it dont have JB yet
Maybe HTC Sensation? Shame I dont know those RUU numbers means what version of droid.
And all I want is change of system toggles:crying:

Before that a flashed HSPL 3 and and Radio_ Leo_ 2.15.50.14 and also an custom ROM with greek language wich all worked fine... than i had the bright idea to flash an original rom^^ and cause of beeing tired my brain blacked out and id didnt think that the original greek htc rom has a ...51... radio... so i^m %&"§$%§"
the device doesnt do anything... i cant get into boot loader nor hard reset nothing!!! this i what i flashed: _ HTC "HD2_RUU_ Leo_ HTC_ELL _1.66.482.1 _Radio_Signed _15.30. 50.07U_ 2.06.51.07_ Ship"

Sending it to HTC repair center. your problem isn't related to a software problem, but you have brake internal hardware.
Just out of interest.....
Do you get a connection if you try to connect it to your PC/lappy ?
yes some device with an ? which i cant install "qualcom cdm tech....."
thats it
You could tell HTC that your phone was working fine then you put it on charge overnight and the next morning it was dead and no mention of flashing anything. If it is under warranty (and I think that it is 2 years for the USA phones) then they should replace it. Now it is not fair to claim when you caused the damage, but then again look at the complaints folks are getting with genuine complaints with HTC. Others have tried this fib and got away with it.
i think thats kind of a problem.. i bought it over EBAY from the states an i live in europe - greece so i think its kind of difficult claiming some warranty right?!

So it's not completely dead
Install WMDC, then plug phone in, should have/get driver for you
Now you can try to re-flash it straight from PC/lappy

already did that.. tried under win xp and win 7... both same result.. nothing!!! =)

Get the Qualcomm driver installed, then try again

(On Win7) do you have WMDC Driver Update in Ctrl Panel/Progs & Features ?
Search this forum for 'Qualcomm driver' and you will get some results
If needs be, you can DL the driver and force a manual install through Device Manager (when you plug your HD2 in)
ok i^m gonna try also on win7... but i dont think thats gonna make any diference
i also tried forcing drivers but wont let me either... if anybody has any more ideas i^m happy 2 hear them!

Well try to sending it back, and don't mention that you flash something. Just that one day you wake up and that sins then you can't wake up your device.
If thy don't look at the Radio, thy will send you a other device/repair it on warranty.
If thy see that you have flash a wrong Radio, I have seen some peoples mention that thy have pay about 150€ for reparation.

Hi Guys,
I havent used this site in years but recently I bought a Galaxy S4 outright from JBHIFI.
Before you guys give me alot of crap, I have a very bad feeling that I may have hard bricked it.
It doesnt turn on anymore, not even in recovery or download mode. I am very new to android as I was using an iPhone before and couldn't resist attempting to root my phone (stock program were killing my battery)
I hadn't even had the chance to flash a custom rom on there as far as i know i just grated root access.
Funny thing is it was doing the same thing the other day. But randomly it decided to charge and turn on. Now it is definitely not charging or turning on and i have no idea what to do... it just sucks cause i havent ever this phone for a month and its already useless! :crying:
I was using it for about a week after i rooted and now im just stuck with a brick.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.
Send back t store and thel t workers that just whont turn on.Dhont thel that is rooted or somthing

yeah thats what im planning to do its about exactly a month since i had it today... i just didnt want to mention anything cause i know you guys and moderaters dont condone that kind of behaviour! thanks though, im pretty much screwed arent i? ill be heading into jbhifi on my lunch break will go ahead with that plan haha.
ill tell you guys how it goes.
Have you tried a battery pull?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
sorry... is that just taking the battery out? LOL if so, yes ive tried it quite a few times.
at one stage it was turning on but only loading the splash screen... so i pulled the battery out. even if i tried to start it in recovery mode, it would only load the blue text at the top of the screen and then freeze.
i have a mate who also got an s4 so i was going to meet up with them and see if i could use their battery because it seems the phone has even lost its capability to charge.

No, you don't have to be in download mode. Install right driver, connect your phone to pc and run the program. Then it will be in download mode, so flash firmware with pit file
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
well so far... i tried this at work and no luck, so i went home and tried it there... still no luck.
you mentioned i need to install the right driver? is that the QHSUSB drivers? (where can i find them and are they specific for the S4) anyway when i plug my phone into the computer there is no indication that it is being detected at all.
just hoping to try out more suggested solutions before i attempt to take it back into the store and have em tell me that my warranty is cooked
Hi just an update.
Took my phone to samsung because it was just completely screwed. They replaced the motherboard and camera but didnt find out that my phone was rooted which was good.
Thanks for your help everyone
*edit*
After they said they replaced my camera i am now getting the "camera app failed" message, wheres theres a black screen and the app doesnt work... ive had it with this phone now... going to walk into samsung and lose my ****.

Don't bash the phone for nothing ...
Somehow I doubt that they didn't test the camera after replacing it.
Next time, take it easy, and what ever you do, read carefully the instructions.
same issue
My galaxy S4 is "hard bricked" as well after trying to flash OMEGA ROM onto the device. My guess is that somebody mislabeled the ROM and it was intended for the octal-core processors and not the US quad-core ones.
Does anyone have a link for the qualcomm drivers that are needed? I'm at a loss currently in regards of which direction to take.
Thanks in advance,

i know... its just frustrating... i pretty much got it when it came out and convinced all my mates that it was the best phone out there at the moment (all the features are pretty nifty and its powerful ill admit)
funny thing was the camera was working perfectly before i took it in and didnt even think it needed replacing. the camera worked when i got it back the first time i opened the app but it had smearing (pink vertical lines on bright objects). after that it the app didnt open again and just has the "camera app failed" error.
as for the hardbrick guys i think the qualcomm drivers work but only if you can get your phone to turn on or enter d/l mode. mine was so fried out that it wouldnt show any signs of life even after getting the drivers.

This was also samersh72's suggestion when i bricked mine. Problem is, there was no way for me to acces that qhusb mode thing as the phone was totally dead and doesn't even charge.
Jtag could probably revive it though.
Anyway, sent mine for repairs with
custom binary status and the samsung guys accepted it as there was no way for them to revive the phone(the motherboard was replaced). They didn't found out that it was modified.

You're Hardbricked.
Take it to Service Center or a local repairer or repair it youself if you have a J-Tag unit.
Good luck.
Or you might have to open the tablet up and get a replacement hard drive with stock touch wiz. Sorry mate

It's hard to say, but you did given yourself an hard brick.
JTAG or a USB jig would be the homemade possible options left.
Or go get it repaired, but i highly recommand a usb jig, then flashing stock with odin.

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.

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:

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).

I have this phone since last September and really regret that I bought it. Even though it looks like and feels like a normal 9505 or 9500 model, due to its specifications you can not use any custom rom of more common variants. (No Cyanogen, No Miui, No any other well known custom rom). Do not even try flashing 9505 or 9500 roms, I managed to soft brick my phone already with them.
There is almost zero support for this product in forums or if there is any it is in Korean language. The only custom rom I came across is TeamLeader rom, which is a cleaner stock rom practically, getting rid of Samsung's bloatware, but nothing special, same user experience.
IIRC the SHV-E300 is the Galaxy S4 LTE-A and more or less the same device as the ks01lte. So take a look in the i9506 section, there you will find some custom ROMs for your phone, some already LP-based.
I recommend arters 97's CM12, he is doing a great job on this phone.

yeah man i know that and SHV-e300l and i9506 have some notable differences like the chips (Exynos and Qualcomm) it would definetly brick my device
don't install any custom rom for now if you want everything in working order.
and If u want to upgrade to lollipop, just download firmware of another s4 with same configuration from sammobile.com
I think yours is Korean and it will not get 5.0
OK Guys I don't know if any body knows this already but i have found a ROM for SHV-E300L here:
http://www.7hdmovie.com/2015/02/galaxy-s4.html?m=1
i have successfully downloaded it and yes extracted it as well but any body else had tried this already does it work? i am afraid if it would brick or blast my device any help? :angel:

NOt get 5.0 :'( words hurt man they really do
First of all, lets get something straight. Most people use the term "bricked" improperly. A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode. These are things you can usually fix, and they're a lot more common than a truly bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked, you won't be able to fix it yourself (but there are things you can do
If Your Phone Is Truly Bricked: Take It Into the Store and Play Dumb
If your phone is actually bricked—that is, it won't turn on at all, no matter how hard you try—it's time to give up and move on. The first thing you can do in this situation is try to take it back to your carrier's store and play dumb—just say something like "I don't know what happened, but my phone won't turn on anymore" (don't tell them you rooted it, obviously). Most carriers don't have time to deal with such issues and they'll just give you a new phone. Sure, it's a tad evil, but it should work most of the time
