Need debrick.img for Exynos variant

Hey guys, i recently got this hard-bricked(no recovery, no download mode; only stuck in a bootloop) Galaxy Note 3 Exynos variant(SM-N900) from a friend. I would like to try the method outlined in this thread but can't find any debrick.img for this model. Is there anyone generous enough to please upload one? Thanks a lot in advance! :)

i was searching around to port something on my Xperia ZL and i found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518570

i works well on my Xperia ZL and my LG Optimus G Pro F240L (running v5 ROM) this launcher is smoother than the stock launcher that came with the device. Credit goes to the guy who found this on a vietnamese forum and to the original guy who made this port.

(v5 rom users, Google search widget is working with this launcher.)

how to install?

download it (just copy and paste the link its unclickable) -google drive link-

put it to your sd or internal sd

flash using recovery

btw, make sure to make a backup first just to be safe.

enjoy!

hit thanks if u find this useful.

I tried turning on ART instead of dalvik, and it messed up my phone. So I wiped it, no backups, and now suddenly my .zip for the ROM is corrupt and can't be used to flash the ROM, so I essentially have a paperweight. I can't ADB sideload (I've tried), I can't ADB Push (tried) I tried flashing with fastboot to system and it failed, and I don't know what else to do. I can't mount to USB storage to copy the thing over and I don't know of any other method.

Specs:

1.44 hboot

was previously running the newest ecliptic 4.4/5.5 ROM

newest philz touch recovery.

When I go to reboot my phone from recovery, it tells me I don't have root access anymore.

How do I fix this, and why is it so hard?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
First, in the future, read before leaping -- it's well known that ART cannot work with a Sense based ROM -- it's totally broken and it will surely do bad things. If you want to know why it's so hard -- it's because your device is totally screwed up now.

First, your /system partition is probably trashed -- so that's why PhilZ says you have no root access -- you don't, there's nothing worthwhile at all on your /system partition.

Before you go too far, please tell us all what your firmware versions -- look for the 'OS-???????' on your bootloader screen. That will dictate with RUU you will want to use if necessary.

There's a couple choices:

1) *if* the ART mess didn't totally screw up your internal storage, you have a shot at loading a ROM and moving forward (see if you can look at the internal storage in PhilZ, to go 'backups restore' menu, and try to load from /sdcard -- hopefully it can see the file system, if not -- you better RUU so see below):

a) Place a valid ROM (my suggestion is use benny3's stock, rooted ROM so you get to a place of sanity) on a exFAT, ext4 or ntfs formated USB stick;

b) Boot into recovery (PhilZ is apparently working for you -- whew!):

c) Plug your OTG cabled USB stick in to the device (PhilZ will mount the USB drive);

d) Use PhilZ to 'wipe to load new rom' in the menus;

e) Load the ROM from /mnt/storage/usb.

2) *if* the ART mess screwed you totally, you'll have to RUU back to stock:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277892 -- Start with Q16 in that FAQ.

We can help -- don't rush. Also, plug your device in, PhilZ will charge the thing and you want it charged reasonably before you get started.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thelonewizard:
The 1.29 RUU worked. How do I now unlock it so I can go back to custom ROMs? I assumed the command would be "fastboot oem unlock" but that fails when I try it. I assume this is due to me having lost root rights, but I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. I just want to go back to the Ecliptic ROM. I had no issues right up until I decided to try ART.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
So be careful (and throw some thanks button hits around when folks help you out -- not just me, not the point -- it matters to all folks around here to help ;) ).

As for re-rooting, same FAQ page link I gave you above, Q4 -- read that whole FAQ before you do much more so you know where to look next time. A little reading may save you serious pain down the road. Good luck!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thelonewizard:
Thank you for all the help. I got back to my ROM with minimal data loss, and I'm not touching ART until HTC makes it official. I really appreciate the help, and you'll notice a couple new "Thanks" in your meter. ;)

Hi, guys n gals

Ive been having problems with my Acer Liquid E2 Single Sim the last couple of days.

I was clearing out some of the bloatware from the internal storage and seem to have deleted some important system files and functions.

Now during this clearout, the phone rebooted, then when it had loaded up, it keeps popping up with Sorry com.android.phone has stopped working and other such messages.

I have lost the majority of my functions including phone, contacts, messaging, storage access and more.

I tried to use the backups from TitaniumBackup, but because of loss of functionality and storage access, the backups wouldnt work.

Im in a huge pickle and not sure where to turn to next any help would be greatly appreciated

PS, I have also tried to install a Custom ROM and reinstall GAPPS in order to try regain my phones functions and nothing happens,

I cannot use ADB while phone is booted in to Android as I have no Notification Bar to change the USB settings to enable USB Debugging etc.

ADB push does not work as it seems to close at every attempt in recovery mode.

I am getting quite worried and fear that my phone is going to be rendered useless :(

Please Help

I attempted to update my rooted Sprint Galaxy S3 via Kies to 4.3, although it did not finish. My phone was on during the initial running of Kies, the phone went into Download(ing... Do not turn off target) mode (Odin)

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L710

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

After sitting for a substantial amount of time Kies states that it needs to do a Emergency Firmware Recovery, I attempt, but isn't able to do so. Assuming it has a problem working with ODIN MODE, I run the alternative method of flashing the Stock ROM to my phone using ODIN 3.07 (in administrative mode/ Windows 8)

I download the ROM: KIES_HOME_L710VPBLJ7_L710SPRBLJ7_329968_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5

I follow the guide for putting the ROM into the PDA spot,

when I select the ROM from my folder it shows this:

<OSM> Please wait..

This is as far as it will go.

I've restarted the system and ran it again just as described.

I've reinstalled Samsung USB Drivers

I've looked for another Stock ROM, but the Sammobile.com/firmware downloads aren't available due to the hosting site.

Please, if anyone has had this problem and has fixed it, or anyone that knows why it is stopping at sbl2.mbn contact me here or at dcbstudios@gmail.com.

I would assume its because you're attempting to downgrade. Try this in Odin instead

At this point, DO NOT reboot the phone. If you had read the Knox faq, you would know that attempting to flash a < MK3 stock tar will while on the Knox bootloader will immediately brick your phone because the older firmware will not get written. Right now, you need to immediately flash an MK3 full stock tar if you don't want a fancy paperweight.

Thank you for the tar file. I'm also curious on the the topic...are there more than one Odin? I have Odin3, (some sites refer to it as Odin3, ODIN, or just Odin) versions 1.87 (the one you told me to try), 3.07, and 3.09. I wasn't under the impression that certain versions of Odin worked better for some than others. Do they? And, is Odin and Odin3 different? I appreciate your help on this subject.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcbstudios:
Uninstalled the USB drivers then reinstalled them with SGS3 tool kit, swapped to original cable from Samsung galaxy s4,, as well as USB port... It has a status bar on Odin first time .... Hold tight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcbstudios:
IT PASSED!

To be clear for people that have this same problem in the future...

Uninstall Kies, if you have it

Run a registry cleaner, I used CCleaner

Install Samsung Galaxy USB Drivers through SGS3 Toolkit

Use Odin 1.87 in Admin

Use MK3 tar in PDA section, leave auto reboot and reset time

Use original or I'm assuming Samsung USB cable

If one port doesnt work, try another USB port

Thank you everyone for your input and help, folks like you make this site worth using. :good:

Hi - I've seen some posts that kind of address this topic but nothing yet that can solve the problem I'm experiencing (I think!).

I've set my O2 Exec up with what I'm confident are the Vodafone UK WAP APN and MMS server settings. However, when I send a message it tries for the standard 3 attempts and then gives up, saying the message couldn't be sent and that it would remain in my outbox. However, all 3 of the messages are actually successfully delivered! I am unable to download any 'received' MMS sent to me, although I do receive the notifications.

Has anybody else experienced this and, if so, I'd appreciate any advice in solving it.

The WAP APN I'm using is wap.vodafone.co.uk without the proxy setting enabled (as this is specified in the MMS settings). The MMS server is http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms, gateway is 212.183.137.12 with a port number of 8799. Size is limited to 100K, using WAP 2.0.

Thanks for any assistance.

Vodafone MMS

I've got exactly the same problem. I rang vodafone and told them I had a V1640 and ask them to send me the settings, but she couldn't do it for some reason. She told me to go down to the vodafone shop and ask them to program the settings in manually. I haven't done this because I reckon that I will know more than them about the phone.

My O2 ROM has the settings for 02's connections, therefore, the only thing I can think of doing now is to somehow obtain a copy of the V1640 ROM and install it and hope the settings will be inherant with the installation.

Had a quick look aroung the net without any success.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nikbedwell:
I'm going from memory a little, but before i upgraded to my Orange SPV M5000, I upgraded my O2 XDAII from PPC2003 (not SE) to a WM2005 ROM, working on a Vodafone PAYT SIM.

I used the attached file to configure all the necessary Vodafone settings (btw, this is UK PAYT)... just copy to your device and run the CAB. I don't recall any problems runnings this, irrespective of any manual settings i'd set.

I also recall having to phone Vodafone to ask them to ensure my GPRS was enabled as this affects MMS sending. Vodafone seemed to be happy to automatically switch it off for me every few months!

Hope this helps :)

Hi Guys,

Wonder if anyone can help me please.. (I'll spare you the details of the paths/routes Ive taken, as it will subract you away from initial cause). However, I have tried with Xposed (App Settings), after eventually getting APKTool to work, I've tried to decompile/recompile, and although they all work/install and that, the size isn't changing...

From research, apparently our Note (N7000) uses a xhdpi on a normal screen size.

As you can see from the screenshot below, it's dwarfed in a small frame on a large screen....?? I've read that you can stretch Apps by adjusting the AndroidManifest.xml settings, but I've tried and not had any luck... So hoping someone with more experience maybe able to help?? please :)

http://postimg.org/delete/3xmes6rfi/

Seems strange that Samsung have not tested their Apps to work fully with all their models? As you can't even download the App directly from PlayStore using the N7000. I've had to download it on my ZTE Blade (which works fine) and copy it over...

So whilst I appreciate you may not be able to distribute modified Apps publically, so if anyone can help and either PM the modified version. Or post hints/suggestions on how to make the App stretch full screen, would be most appreciated...

Many thanks, Lister

You may try to decompile the app and then edit the dimens.xml file and check.. But the AppSettings module should work. Just try lowering the screen size of the app.

Hi nokiamodeln91,

A-ha, we meet again... Thanks for your help/suggestions.... I did have a little look at this last night, and tried a variety of AndroidManifest.xml settings (previously trying mod this was a challenge, as the XML was encrypted) plus I couldnt decompile (APKTool wasnt working).

However tried various settings below... tried with all screen sizes and density, and forced xhdpi...

Not sure exactly what settings to force??

AppSettings didnt seem to make any effect either, and I even chose the 1280x800 and fullscreen options....

Not sure what else I can try....??

Can't believe Samsung have not tested this App with their own hardware???

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Tried to decompile and different settings but nothing much. Just the main screen stretches but then when you enter the remote, it goes back to small view. There are a lot of not so good review of the app on Samsung site itself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi nokiamodeln91,

Wow, thanks man... You did better than I did.... I couldnt even get the first screen to stretch/fullscreen, let alone anything else... :(

What chances did ya do, to make that happen??

And yeah, not really read many of the reviews for the App yet. It's annoying, because on my old phone (ZTE Blade) it works fine, fills the screen lovely. And the App itself is actually not bad at all.. Works with my BluRay player perfectly...

However on the N7000 (which Samsung make themselves anyway) neither the phone App works to full screen, nor the Tablet version will even install...??

Is there anyway to hack the Tablet version to get that to install on our N7000?? Happy to provide the APK to that if you wish to have a play...??

Sorry to bother you again, but with your knowledge in this field vaster (is that a word?) mine.... Was wondering if you was able to take a look at this file for me, and see if there was a way to make this one work on the N7000 ?? As it looks like it has the right graphics/folder layout for our device, in that it supports the XHDPI format...

http://www.sendspace.com/file/1naab7

http://www.sendspace.com/delete/1naab7/3b9aa685347a50968e2911a8dd5aad97

However it refuses to install on our device. And if manually copied onto the phone's storage (data/app or system/app) folder, it will show up as installed but when run, crashes out...

Was wondering if you knew what permission/function it is trying to pull/use to say that it can only run on Tablets. Whether this function/feature could be removed, so not dependant on Tablet hardware....

If its too much hassle, please dont worry about it... Just annoying to have a Samsung BluRay player, a Samsung phone, and a Samsung App, and it displays on our screens as though it was created for the first ever SMALL touchscreen phone... lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DracoDan:
I'm trying to figure out what the most stable and functional ROM is for my MDK VZW S4. I've tried to research this several times but I find that I have to essentially read through every thread for every ROM, and even then there are things that are left out. My previous phone was a Galaxy Nexus, so I was probably spoiled by the wealth of information about the various ROMs, but there's no reason we can't have a thread like this.

History of my ROM usage with my S4

I started out with Hyperdrive ROMs but later decided I just couldn't deal with TW no matter how much work the Hyperdrive guys did try to clean it up (kudos to them for the best ROM for people stuck with a locked bootloader though!).

Next up I went to Gummy ROM to try out 4.4, which honestly hasn't really impressed me. My GPS never works right, seemingly related to the compass problem? Not sure here, but this is a major deal breaker for me.

Problems I've had and seen mentioned in multiple threads; are these fixed in ANY ROM???

The above mentioned compass problems. I've read about factory calibration issues, I'm going to try a few of those fixes, but I also see a LOT of people saying this is a driver issue? Which is it?

HDR camera doesn't work, attempting to use it just makes solid black pics.

Bluetooth audio playback problems. I've heard this mentioned many times, but haven't had a chance to test myself. This only becomes a big deal for me in the summer when I'm using this feature to stream music to the stereo on my boat.

Thanks!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes it is possible, can you start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wielki.Brat:
Can You write me how doing this under mac? I don't have now my windows laptop . Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
same as you would on windows (or even linux), by opening a terminal, and typing:

fastboot getvar all

then copy/paste the output here (except IMEI and s/n).

you'll need to be quite comfortable with adb & fastboot commands to do this, so I recommend you to some research on what adb & fastboot are, how to install them on mac, and test them.

depending on your hboot version you may also need an Ubuntu Live USB

first get familiar with terms, such as bootloader, adb & fastboot, etc.

and once you're comfortable using them, we can proceed
