I dont think its gonna work that way.?!? ,But i might be wrong ?!? But the best thing you can do is either ask your friend's/family or go in a computer shop.. if they can borrow you a laptop/pc then root it while you can .Have a nice day.

I have read that people flashed stock i9505 NOT i9505x rom via odin. After that they installed recovery and flashed adem kernel. If you don't flash adem kernel your wifi won't work. Good luck, ask if you have to know something else
Yes
A place or instruction step by step to do this

1 - Download Odin, TWRP recovery, Stock I9505 Rom (?) and Adam's kernel ( search i9505 forum)
2 - Boot the device on dowload mode (push volume down, home and power button until the device vibrate)
3 - Flash the TWRP recovery, and wait for Odin return Sucess message.
4 - Copy the Adam's kernel .zip and Stock Rom file in the device ( sdcard root or what you want )
5 - flash the kernel with "Install" recovery option
6 - after that Wipe and Format every thing you can! (system, cache, etc...)
7 - Flash the stock Rom ( may have some error for the modem.bin but no matter )
8 - This may work now!
Aha
Aha,i ll give it a try,thanks my friend,very polite,i wish in my country people be like that
Well

No problem man I don't own the phone, I'm really thinking of buying it. If I will, I'll try to make it a real phone. With sim and 4g. But that is very hard.

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).

I have the same problem -but a recovery loop. I can't get my phone into either download or recovery mode. So what options are there to fix this loop?

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

If you did not fix it in any other way maybe you need to look at this thread:

Hi I done that but they cannot fix it as the phone was rooted, the only thing they will do is install a new board which costs nearly as much as the phone. Is there any tool available to fix it by PC?
Cheers.

If the phone is rooted and they dont wanna fix it then go ahead ,flash stock rom and do reset / factory reset to make it back to official roms to get back to warranty , Im sure your phone still has warranty? . Or you can try this one
