No, the files are not same.

For n910g, the debrick is of 16mb.

The recovery firmware is available on androidfilehost, as one zip.

I have given the link in op.

You dont have to download anything from the mega link.

Here the folder named as "image" has to be copied to a blank sdcard and then you will have to try entering download mode.

i copied the image folder in blank sd card formatted with fat32 partition.

still phone is not able to go on download mode ( not even vibrating)

sorry this may be annoying for you but i just cant figure out what is wrong with this phone :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] PPC6850RR:
Thanks to OP worked for me, thank God!

Warning DO NOT copy & paste debrick.img directly to sdcard.

Instead use diskimage software from post #1 to unpack and write files to sdcard, then insert it into phone + battery + press power button.

It will boot up from sdcard directly into your original ROM, so you can retrieve all your media and documents.

Than you can reboot into download mode to re-flash from Odin working ROM.

Thanks I'll go ahead and give this a try.. Trying to backup some files before flashing..

Mine doesn't vibrate..I tried the cool off way along with taking the battery out, pressing power for 10 secs and putting the battery back in. The only difference is after installing Qualcomm drivers it shows hs_USB qdloader 9008 when attached to the computer
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Phrodini:
Can you help me..I downloaded the debrick image for the 910t and flashed it on a memory card that's fat32 using the software on the first page. I double checked the SD card on the computer and it seems to have burnt the image there..it shows a folder and when you open it there's a whole bunch of files. The IMG file is 128mb from T.

I put the card in the phone..held power no go

Cooled it off a little bit no go

Took battery out and held the power button trick..no go..no vibration in all scenarios

I'm not sure where I went wrong or there's something I'm overlooking or missed

What do you think it could be..how would you know if a battery has juice on a bricked phone..I don't have another phone to test the battery nor make a debrick..

Not Sure where the problem lies..the debrick IMG itself, the battery, the image not burnt properly on the SD card..it didn't fail when getting burned..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] yashthemw:
Seems like you have followed all the steps correctly.

There is no way that I know of, with which you can check the battery status, you might have to change the battery.

Writing the image to SD card

Yashthemw you stated,

"The file i will be uploading is not in .img format. It is a 16.90mb folder named image. Therefore extract it from zip and simply copy it to your blank sdcard ."

Hi yashthemw, I have a n910g which I am trying to debrick. I know its a software issue as I caused it. It won't turn on so it won't go into download mode. The computer reacts when it is plugged in.

I am trying to use the image you have kindly created. I unzipped it with 7 Zip.

I have an issue writing the image to the SD card. I assume when you say copy it to your card, you mean with Win32Discimager.

It wants a .img file but there is none in the extracted folder.

What am I missing here?

Would you please be able to help me out with this?

Thanks for this post and thanks to [MENTION=7132900]yashthemw[/MENTION] for starting this thread, you have saved me lots of bucks that would have have been wasted on a new phone! :victory:

So I basically made the SD Card and inserted it into the phone, took out the battery and pressed the power button for about 10 secs then inserted the battery and was able to get into recovery mode. I then installed Kies and followed the steps above and viola, Kies brought my phone back to life.

I have the AP, CP, CSC and BL files too if anyone needs those. Don't have a site I can upload those to.

It would be of great help if you upload those files. Mega is good enough for file sharing but some users say that, mega has a download limit, therefore google drive might be a better alternative.

Follow your instruction!!!! The hard part is after it vibrates and getting into download mode. I actually do not know how I got to download mode. My note was connected to my PC and download mode started. I have an w8. 64 gig. SD card had to download a special program to format the SD card to fat32. Used the program mentioned in this thread to transfer the debrick image to the SD card. Insert SD card hold power for 10 seconds and it vibrates.

Ok guys...n910F here that was (or maybe still is) soft bricked.

Originally I could not enter recovery mode and in download mode it said mmc read problem so could not flash anything because always had FAIL flash.

So here´s everything I did/tried (it´s a long road of tries and errors, so find patience to read it all or go to last part):

1- I used the method explained here and flashed the .img to sd card and I now could go into download mode without mmc read error and flash PIT;BL;AP;CL and CSC;

2- ...but then it stopped on system.img.ext4;

3- ..then I saw someone explaining that cold temps could help so I put my phone in fridge for about 20m and then tried flashing again and it passed system.img.ext4, but failed at hidden.img.ext4

4- ...I removed .md5 from the CSC file and unziped it with winRAR and removed hidden.img.ext4 file, then with 7zip I compressed all files into .TAR again... 20 more minutes on fridge and flashing again and finally worked.

5- Device loaded by itself, decided to skip all config stuffs except wifi connection and when device was fully booted I went to info about phone and it was on 5.0.1

6- Tried to search for new updates (marshmallow) and didnt find any new updates

7- Tried to reset device in options and device would not leave bootloop

8- Device does not enter recovery mode and if I try to go into download mode and flash another STOCK ROM, it fails and gives mmc read file error again

9- Tried to boot normally and bootloop again ...20 more minutes in fridge and flashing again PIT;BL;AP;CL and CSC ... phone boots normally, but still no recovery mode and no marshmallow updates, but I find random apps from 3 or 4 previous stock ROM (6.0.1) i had flashed last week or so...

10- Tried to turn off phone again and enter recovery... recovery enters after almost 30m wait in system update logo with android pet processing...perform full factory reset and phone boots...

11- (LAST RESORT because I had no more ideas) - Flashed TWRP with ODIN and phone PASS and reboots... enter TWRP and I do advanced wipe (dalvik/system/data/cache) and tried to flash rooted note 7 ROM (aurora v5)..ROM flashed successful, but stays at Samsung logo for almost an entire hour before I give up.

12- There are many different options in TWRP that I dont understand...could anyone more experienced give me any possible solution or fix using TWRP?

Thanks bud...

I have it connected to the pc, i have tried the fridge thing for 20 mins, tried the freezer for about 7 mins (wasn't too sure how long to leave in) all before hand...

I popped the sd card in my computer last night to re-write the image...when i wanted to format it, Windows said it's image is 19.0 meg. I vaguely remembered the unbrick file i downloaded was around 37meg? Is that correct? As well, does it matter what size card i use? I think i'm using an 8Gb card. Can anybody answer these questions?

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] yashthemw:
The unbrick image for n910w8 is of 37.8mb.

Dont know if it works differently for n910w8, cause I have a n910g.

It is better to use a 32gb card, I had used a 32gb card aswell as 16gb card.

Both were successful in vibrating the phone.

Finally I used the 32gb card, but that was my preference.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] nihilistza:
Hi, got my phone back from Samsung, they won't repair it and say the board has failed. I'm trying again before I take it to a 3rd party though it's hard to find good services centers in my region.

Are there any other N910F debrick images I can try?

I've tried the SD4GB.WinDI.IMG image from the OP but the only thing it does is cause the phone to vibrate. Nothing happens further.

Have tried cooling it via an air conditioner (as some have suggested) but no good.

I wrote the image to my 64GB and 8GB MicroSDHC cards, doesn't seem to make a difference.

I also wrote it using both Win32DiskImage and in Linux using dd, the partitions check out fine and it wrote just fine.

Though I'm wondering if there's another N910F image I can try?

If someone would be kind enough to share one they've made and compress it as my ADSL line is fubar at the moment I'd be really grateful. But in all honesty I think the internal storage is dead but it's worth a shot.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] nihilistza:
I tried that, after it vibrates once I left it for about an hour.

I tried several times with 2 SDcards and writing the image via win32diskimage and in LInux using dd and checked the partitions like in the op - it wrote fine.

I also tried my card reader and the built in sdcard reader on 2 different laptops just to rule out that being an issue.

Nothing happens, screen doesn't turn on and it's still visible in Windows as QHUSB_BULK after that, so I assume the image isn't working for some reason.

Even tried taking out the SPen during all this lol and obviously the SIM is out already.

Just out of interest - I have a feeling that :

1) the people who managed to debrick their phones were ones where it got messed up during flashing.

2) the people who can't debrick or it works only temporarily (I see others said they had lots of EMMC Read errors after) might be bricked because of EMMC failure.

That seems to be the case but it's just an observation from various posts I've read around the net.

I'll attempt it again tonight, thanks for the info so far dude, appreciate it!
