Whatever happens to the phone, if the phone turns on, doesnt have any hardware issue it can be revived.
The universal method is flashing stock firmware through odin
Download your country's note 4 firmware from sammobile and flash it through odin
Works most of the time
For any more help pm m!

yeah. try flashing samsung stock firmware with odin. have you done it

YEP Odin flash is most of the time a good fix.

Note 4 DM-VERITY VERIFICATION FAILED

The same occurred for my LG G3 D855 which has erased its IMEI just for trying 'restore upgrade errors' in the LG mobile support tool. From that onwards I have firmly decided not to flash manually in any way except when official upgrades / uupdates are released via KIES or via OTA update.
Please do not flash by your own as it is always risky. It is not a PC where you can take out the affected hard disk and fix it in a working PC and backup the data.
To all manual flashing persons :
If your phone succeeds in manual flashing, donnot brain wash others to do the same. Not all persons always do R & D in android like you.

Thanks for the reply but the main problem is that any OTA that comes to note 4 i download them and the device says to restart to recovery to install the Update and i say yes but when it goes to recovery the recovery wont function well since it shows dm-verity error and supported API : 3 the update process fails to complete . My imei is as cool as always i havent had a problem with IMEI since i bought the phone

at least 10000 people have note 4 and none has had the problem ???? REALLY ?
seems like im pretty f***ed up

dear chappati , according to that video i need a physical thing which is called a BOX and a software called GC PRO because that guy had my problem and fixed it with a clicking , but im reasearching for 5 months and nothing comes out . i need information PLZ

Hi, i used to had that problem too, when i first flash a custom rom to my N910G i back up my stock rom.. everthing including EFS.. after that then i wipe everything like normal procedure when u flash a rom. till then 1 day i wanna go back to stock rom i accidentally ticked EFS while i wanna restore that stock rom back up and then i thought it was nothing serious until i flash stock rom with odin and when i boot into stock recovery that dm-verity message was shown, did so much research but no luck. my n910G was on a Singapore firmware, that time it had a update i just try my luck by downloading the latest SG firmware and then that message was gone! m now already on MM no problems like that anymore

Soft Bricked Galaxy S4 LTE while downgrading

Hello,I had this rom installed(https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-super-wizcyan-29-nov-15-t3259562) and since I'm kind of noob I tried to downgrade to this one ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454205). I flashed it in TWRP recovery and when the phone finished and restarted i got into a bootloop( i think that's how it's called) - the samsung logo with the light from behind but that's it. I cannot open the TWRP recovery anymore,I cannot restore the stock firmware with KIES, I tried to restore 5.0.1 lollipop stock firmware through ODIN with and without PIT file and also 4.4.2 stock ( i did not find one for my country - Romania, I found one for Germany). Please help me with this issue..I will install any software and just leave it if it works..I just need my phone .. yep,desperate ..)
I'm sorry if I broken any rule by opening a new thread I'm just desperate to solve this issue..been working at it for almost 4 hours..
L.E. Odin says there is no partition when trying to flash the stock roms so i used this PIT file ( CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit)

Have you tried Smart Switch?

I don't really know what that is or how should I do it )

Problem fixed. I flashed from a different pc a complete stock rom(bootloader,pit file,csc and all of the other stuff) and it worked perfectly.

Samsung S5 Plus (SM-901F) bricked?

All,
Before I throw this in the bin (which would be a hellavu shame!!) I thought I would quickly see if I am missing something obvious.....
I bought an unlocked device (previously on vodafone - from the apps i saw) SM-G901F from ebay.. I enabled developer tools, and tried to flash TRWP (but it never took ... on each reboot, the stock recovery would appear ... I read countless threads that you needed to not reboot (which I tried to no avail) ... i then read a thread that the bootloader may be locked, and followed a guide to try and fastboot unlock it (fastboot never found it but ... This is where it all went wrong .. I lost the ability to boot into the recovery and the phone boot loops infinitely ... however I can still get to download
I tried the downloaded a complete official firmware and tried to flash using Odin .. this was successful, BUT again the phone continues to bootloop.
I then managed to flash Clockwork mod onto it, to deleted the caches, etc ... but again bootloop
Finally I tried to wipe the phone and load lineageos (through CWM) ... Again all said it was successful ... but bootloop...
I think I might have knackered the phone when i went near the bootloader? Yess ... Im a muppet!!
I have tried 1000 different approaches .. odin/firmware (various) ... all seems to install fine .. but bootloop
Im out of ideas .. Is the bin the only thing now?
Thanks

Morning. I would appreciate any opinions iona please.
Thanks

N910F Stock firmware corrupted.

My note 4, randomly crashed, running completely stock.
Began bootlooping and hasn't stopped.
Have downloaded firmwares from Samsung-Firmware . org, as SamMobile will literally not allow me to download anything for free??
No firmware has worked on the device, Have tried numerous PDA versions as I am unsure which the phone originally is.
The first firmware gave the error "dm-verity verification failed" in the recovery menu.
Have wiped cache and data.
Note: This is actually the second N910F which had corrupted itself and stopped working.
Help! :angel:

Do you want to recover some data from it?
If Not than you can try factory reset from Recovery menu.
Other than that it might be memory corrupted or your battery.
Try to change the battery.

New battery: Allowed the phone to boot past the first "Samsung Note 4" screen to : "Samsung" logo, but the phone made a loud beep/screech.

If you want to reflash the Stock ROM search for a version on https://updato.com
I just reflashed mine (g910f) even twice as I had an Infini-Boot, too. After cleaning Dalvik/Cache and formatting data, taking out the battery, after some time it suddenly displayed that it's going to setup apps and it works since then ...
So maybe just be patient.

to get the latest stock rom for your device, free and fast
look what you have to do:
download this (windows ) application and install it on your windows pc.
This is the aplication that will allow you to search and download the latest stock rom for your phone.
It connect to Samsung servers and in very little time you will have a new stock rom on your pc.
choose samfirm 3.06
extract it on a folder on your PC and run samfirm.exe
in the opening menu type
SM-N910F(or T/V/W etc your phones model)
REGION..... xxx (your region code)
these 2 you can find in a sticker under your battery if you open the phone and take off the battery
tick '' BINARY NATURE''
(If you dont tick BINARY...'' you will get the whole stock rom in one file xxxx.tar.md5 to flash it in the oding using the AP tab)
CHECK UPDATES>DOWNLOAD
THIS WAY YOU WILL GET THE LATEST STOCK ROM FOR YOUR PHONE/REGION
Binary nature means the rom split in 4 files
1. BL- bootloader
2.AP - rom
3. CP - modem
4. CSC - Customer support code(region/country)
This is what a stock rom is consist of
this kind of rom is also called REPAIR ROM, because you can use it to repair your phone.
If you look in odin you will find exactly these 4 entries.
So you can put each in the appropriate box and flash them all and so have a stock rom.
push start
Wait until rom flashes and phone reboots.
Hopefully it will solve your problem and everything will go as we all wish to.
BUT, from what you are describing, i am afraid for 2 things:
1. Your battery is almost dead, thats the good scenario .
With 20 $ you will solve it.
So new battery, new rom> problem solved, or
2. You are starting to have the emmc failure on your phone.
Thats a tough one.
Lets hope its not the case.
Just in case
