[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dante63:
Re-Opening Thread, this guide can be used for any new Samsung phone, not only Note 7...

Welcome everyone, :D

I hope you all are good, well maybe not if you're here because of your phone got bricked... :rolleyes:

So many people seems eager to Root their new Samsung Device (including Me) and My Phone got bricked... :(

To All who have Bricked their Phones... :)

Here is How I fixed it... (I have only tried SmartSwitch, other methods are provided if you know how to use them and please do this at your own risk) :fingers-crossed:

***SamFirm Method - Deprecated

1. Go to Updato Samsung Firmwares... and search for your device ex:SM-P585 ...

2. Click on the desired firmware & write down the PDA, CSC, Phone and Product Code...

3. Download SamFirm from SamFirm...

4. Open Samfirm Enter device model, select manual & input the PDA, CSC, Phone and Product Code...

5. Click Download...

6. Open Odin and select AP and select the downloaded software image...

7. Enter Download Mode on your device...

8. Flash the Software Image...

Hopefully it would work... I'll Post screenshots Soon...

***Updato Method - UPDATE - It's the Best Way - Recommended - Sammobile Alternative

1. Go to Updato Samsung Firmwares... and search for your device ex:SM-N930 ...

2. Select & Download the software image...

3. Open Odin and select AP and select the downloaded software image...

4. Enter Download Mode on your device...

5. Flash the Software Image...

Hopefully it would work... I'll Post screenshots Soon...

***Sammobile Method - Not Recommended - Very slow Connection - Image Corruption chance High

1. Go to Sammobile Firmware... and search for your device ex: SM-N935 ...

2. Download the software image...

3. Open Odin and select AP and select the downloaded software image...

4. Enter Download Mode on your device...

5. Flash the Software Image...

Hopefully it would work... I'll Post screenshots Soon...

***SmartSwitch Method - No Longer Works

1. Go to Samsung Smart-Switch Here...

2. Download smart switch, open it and hit emergency recovery, then device initialization, enter "SM-XXXX" or whatever is after S_-____ and hit search...

In my case I put SM-N930FD, that's my Phone - Enter all CAPS ON...

3. Enter S/N on the back of the phone... Smart switch will try to fetch the ROM if available...

4. It will tell you that everything will be deleted and sign-out from google accounts... but you can't do anything so just proceed...

5. Then it will ask you to enter to the Download Mode or Odin Mode ( Vol Down + Home + Power ), continue ( Vol Up ) and connect your phone via USB to the PC...

6. Smart switch will start downloading the Image to Wipe the phone and reinstall the ROM again...

Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of this as I already have done all these steps... but it's nothing but a small window showing progress of download and install...

7. Leave the phone, Don't play with your PC... You can Pray or go do something good so that when you're back, the phone would be fresh as if you just bought it...

Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of this as I already have done all these steps... but it's nothing but a small window showing Device initialization complete, Hit OK and you're done...

It will take time but Hopefully, it fixes your phone as it did to mine...
