UNBRICK METHOD:
Following directions taken and modified from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583603
Part 1: What you need
A SD Card that is the Same Size as your Phone's internal memory.
The unbrick image as above
A program to put the image on a SD Card which is here for windows users: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager
The Stock ROM. I got mine here. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900W8
ODIN 3.0x
Part 2: Prep
Get the battery charged to 100%.
Find a PC and plug the powercord (microUSB Cord) directly into the motherboard. NOT ANY OTHER PORT.
Format the SD Card to ExFAT you need from Part 1.1.
Using the #3 Program from Part 1.3, burn the image to the SD Card. Its simple.
Part 3: Turn it on
Put the battery into the phone.
Plug the charging cord into the phone.
Put the phone into download mode by holding: <Volume Down> + <Home Button> + <Power>
Once you are in download mode press <Volume Up> to enter download mode. Now go to part 4
Part 4: Putting the ROM back on
Don't Deviate from anything here or do extras.
Open Odin from Part 1.5.
Press PDA and Select your STOCK ROM from Part 1.4
Wait a min for Odin to analyze the file.
Hit Start on Odin.

Hello,
I am in URGENT need of someone who can help me with an UNBRICK img. You should be on stock and/or rooted firmware, but not on leaked TW KitKat bootloader. Please flash the following two files here in custom recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2540537&d=1390754238
and http://shabbypenguin.com/getdownload.php?file=Tools/Unbrick-Creator.zip
This will NOT flash anything on your device, but it will create a debrick.img file, and Debrick folder. This does NOT contain any sensitive IMEI or anything like that information. Please either PM me directly, or post it here. I will appreciate it greatly.

You may want to realize the difference between a EFS-based bootloop, versus what I am looking for after a hard brick.
But thank you for your input.

How did you brick it? - Reason I ask, is cause the w8 is downgradable from 4.4.2 so bootloader playing should not have affected you. Unless you flashed something on it you shouldn't have?

Its not mine, but for someone else who asked me to help. I am not sure how it was bricked. Regardless it is a hard brick..

Unfortunately I can't help on the W8, but have you tried any other note 3 debrick image? Any difference with that?

I have the n900w8 but currently on leaked 4.4.2 kk. I will downgrade and flash the 2 files and see if I can help you out..
EDIT: I have created the N900W8 Canada debrick.img

Like I just messaged you Shabby's Unbrick_Creator.zip

Hello i'm about to perform this method..Just wanted to confirm with someone that I can use any of the debrick.img provided for version 4.4.2 on my w8. Thanks! I hope to god this works!

Just and FYI -
You don't mention it in the steps about actually putting the sdcard with the unbrick image into the phone again. I assume at or after 3.3 .

Unbelievable ! This worked for me as well. This feature of the Note 3 makes it tinkerer's dream, it makes it virtually brick-proof. I thought I was done when I could not get back to download mode. I was starting to plan out what I was going to do for my next phone.
By the way in my case it was a N900W8 from Puerto Rico. I purchased it locked to Clairo and unlocked it and flashed to Telus stock ROM. If anyone else has gone this route this method works to unbrick. At first it would not go into download, I had to pull the battery and let it sit for a day. The next day I put in a fresh battery and it booted right to the download selector screen. WAhooo! ...and I was off to the races. Much thanks to the OP and the OOP for this solution.
FYI - formatting the sdcard with the boot recovery partition makes it unusable in the state. Just reformat it again to Fat32 and you can use it as a sdcard again. If you have trouble formatting it I used Mini Tools Partition Wizard, it does the trick.

Hey friend, Can you please explain me what's the procedure in your FYI? and also, has your phone been working correctly since then? Do I have to keep the debrick.IMG for ever on my SD card? What do you mean by boot recovery partition?
Thanks in advance

A friend come to me with a note 4 exactly like your with emmc read error. I tried flashing stock rom but no result. After that i flashed stock rom 4 files version with PIT and repartition ... but nothing. The trick with what i succeded was to flash stock rom with odin 3.10.6 and when the flashing process starts just tap the screen from 10 to 10 seconds until the process succeded. I know it seems stupid but this saved the phone. Homewer after 3 weeks my friend called me and said that the phone completly died. And one more tip, remove and put back battery between each attemp to flash stock rom with odin.

I think this can help us... Just take the bootloader from here and the pit and guide from attachments and try it. it may save your phones.

One more thing.. Here are the .SDC files for direct sdcard boot repair. So choose what sdc you need and try to flash.
The flash procedure is this:
1.Put the .SDC file to your sdcard (sdcard must be formated as FAT32 and must be SDHC max 16GB)
2.On the phone press VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER
3.If all is ok the phone will display SDCARD MODE and will try to flash the phone with the file provided to sdcard
4. IF the process went ok now you have to flash the phone with odin and stock rom.
If the phone didnt boot to SDCARD Mode you will need a USB JIG that you can buy from ebay or somewhere else...
I hope this help you.

The only way is that file I shared or a USB JIG.

Thank you all for your help. Today i delivered my phone to samsung for repairs in the hope that it has warrantee. Will hear from them within 2 weeks. If they wont repair within warranty i will try this. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Maybe someone knows more than i do. Will my custom rom flashing behavior affect the longevity of my beloved phones motherboard? I tend to do that a lot. I come from an HTC where there is no lock in the boot-loader anymore and am affraid that my flashing frenzy might have broken my phone. It shouldn't play a role, should it?

Also, if you can, Download this, install it, connect the SD Card to PC directly, choose the drive on which the SD is mounted in the "Device" option and click on "Read". It will create an img file which I can then write onto my sd card. If you can do this, it'd be a big help

I've had these same kind of symptoms for a few weeks. Then I flashed Debloated ROM v5 and got Wake lock app from the Google play and while maybr this is a work around, my phone has been flawless ever since wake lock was installed. Flashing didn't cause any problems.

Bro, we're talking about hard-bricked devices. No power, no recovery, no download mode. How are we supposed to flash your ROM?
What we are looking for is a fix for hard-bricked N910F. Do you have it?

Copy-paste won't work because SDC files are dedicated for ATF box and related ATF software. Don't waste our time.

First of all, please don't start too many new threads. Just keep posting your queries to a single thread, and someone would answer that to you.
And as per you question, the firmware should work. Because once when I got my device bricked, I used firmware of A6000 (1GB/8GB) on my A6000plus (2GB/16GB). And it worked flawlessly. It was only in Device info and Recent apps that it was showing 1GB RAM, while whole of 2GB was getting used and is being shown in Apps menu.

Well I don't know how you can make backup of stock recovery. But, for backup of system and data, you first need to install a custom rcovery, preferably twrp and then you can make complete backup through it. You can try this twrp 3.0.2 recovery.

From Lineage OS back to Stock

I've had LOS for 6 months now and really impressed with it but want to go back to stock ROM or to a debloated stock ROM because of how bad the camera is and battery is on LOS. It wasn't really bothering me much back then but now I need it more than ever. I have TWRP flashed as well if that helps.
I ask you guys to help me get back as close to stock ROM as possible or a debloated stock ROM and please show me how. I have Odin and Samsung Drivers.
Also can I get some suggestions on what ROM I should download and where?
Thanks in advance. :good:

Just go back to stock marshmallow ROM. Best for battery .. Do your own debloat. Many threads here that explain in a safe way. For the rom collection, sammobile.com has many types.. but for free downloads, it is very slow. I recommend going to samsung-updates.ru for a quick download. But few types are provided. Good luck.

You don't need wipe anything. Actually, flash stock ROM with odin via AP slot, it will wipe everything (If your phone ROM is different from the one you're flashing) .. including internal memory / sdcard. So backup first if you need it. You need ODIN for flash stock ROM instead of TWRP.

Flashing via PC odin will not touch your data neither in internal nor external sd cards so no need to remove the card from the phone. You only need to back up your user data which you will lose like: contacts, SMS, call history, system settings etc.

Hmm strange. Normal Odin flash doesn't touch internal sd card. I don't know how you flashed your rom ...

I have a stock lollipop ROM I downloaded some time ago. Can I use that and still get OTA update to Marshmallow?

Basically for OTA to work you need to be unrooted so it should work but why not to chose easier way - just download latest stock MM Rom for your country and flash it via odin.

Yea .. that really happened. But if I flash from the same ROM, it will not be re-format. Using Odin v3.13. My device G900D. Probably not Odin's cause. Maybe my ROM auto-reformat all when flash above custom system. Lol .. just my guess ..

Check updato.com. I used sammobile.com but it is rather slow and you have to be registered.

im downloading official firmware now.
going Lineage 15.1-20180903-nighlty 8.0.1 --------> G900TUVS1FOL1 6.0.1 and then back to lineage. Hopefully this will allow the unlock code to actually work.
It kept looping after i put it in so i figured it was a rom thing since the tmobile stuffs gone. Its cool, i needed the practice anyway. lol

I wanto to do the same.
From LOS 15.1 I want to go back to the official ROM.
I found it (cannot post the Url because I'm a new user) but I have trouble downloading it, even if I bought the fast connection speed.
I have a Mac and I don't have Odin and I'm trying to figure out how to restore it.
In the meantime I'm try to understand which Odin version I have to use in case a friend of mine will let me use his laptop to restore it.
Thanks to anyone that can help me.

Where can I find a tutorial to go back to stock ROM???

Does installing Lineage OS repartition the phone?
I've just done restoring my phone with Odin without the pit file and it has been stuck on the Samsung boot logo for a good half a hour now.

Believe it or not, MacOS is actually the best go to for a portable platform. I was kinda like you until I actually used one.
Although I am using a budget grade gaming laptop from ASUS, I cannot deny how polished it is at doing general everyday things.

I will be attempting almost the same exact thinkg tonight, but going from Lineage16 to G900TUVU1GQC2 so I can enter my unlock code.
You mentioned the phone was looping....when was this? after you entered the code in stock? Or after you went back to Lineage?
Also, did you reinstall TWRP and restore a backup of Lineage and was able to keep unlocked? I read somewehere restoring a backup after unlocking will lock the network again.

[Help] Can I flash a rom from the internal storage?

Hello everyone,
I just got an S8 (G950F), and would like to flash Project Alice or Light Rom, or whatever you guys advice, thing is, I don't have an SD card, and I can't get one right now for a few weeks (I live in a really small town, and won't be going to the city for 2 weeks or so), every rom thread I see that they say "put the rom in the SD card and flash with TWRP", can I use internal storage instead?, I assume I don't have to format Data for it to work. (Coming from a Xiaomi that encrypted data so I had to format it a lot)
Thanks in advance

Thanks!
I have one more question if you could help me, I am using the CRI5 firmware stock, yesterday I tried to flash TWRP which was ok, and then the no verity fix, after this the phone wouldn't go past the black Samsung Galaxy screen, and showed an error in red on the top about valid firmware.
I managed to reflash the stock firmware, but I'm not sure how to get TWRP to work anymore, should I just flash again? Was the problem the no verity zip? Any advice on how to get going to put a custom ROM?
Thank you

If you have telegram pm me your details and I can help there. It's quicker.
And I really need to know what the error message said? Did you format after installing twrp, then flash dm verity zip and then rmm fix zip?

I may have screwed up, I didn't install rmm fix, that could be the issue
Thanks again
