the second time you do it immediately after first or leave phone to boot up and then reboot and flash again?

Di you still have your sdcard in, the second time? When do you take of your sd card?

When second time is a success too, do you immediately flash stock rom or wait for the phone to boot for the first time and then reboot and flash stock? Do you use pit when flashing stock rom or just rom?

After all done and working, have you leave the phone unrooted or flashed TWRP and root?

Please be a little more specific in this, because details make the difference.

Thank you very much for this , next time i will try it this way, maybe this is how I can remove the sdcard for good.

:) :good::good: :)

I'm using a 8 GB micro SD card, do you think it has something to do with my device not vibrating, even though I'm using the correct image for SM-N910W8?

Appreciate your responses,

Thanks

ALL of us that have managed to boot , have used a card at least 16 Gb.

I have managed to debrick my phone with an sdcard 16 Gb class 10 which has read speed 75 Mb/s and write 40Mb/s. The image on my sdcard has an empty image of 12+ Gb which is about the how much space the phone is using as almost the internal system.img space. Maybe that image is copied in the phone and your is not so big as you are using a smaller card.

I am not sure about that, I am just guessing here, but why dont you try with a card like that?

FAST read/wright and BIGGER than 8GB

ALSO before trying again , put your phone on a wall charger (without the battery) and press and hold power + volume down keys for 1 minute, then take of the charger, put card, put battery and try again by pressing power

Good luck friend

Try it and nothing still. Will get a 32 GB class 10SD card and try with it.... hopefully that will do the trick. Will keep you all posted. Thanks

Unfortunately not working for me.

Flashed two times recovery set of 4 files using the pit (AP.......RECOVERY.) and not

eur open lte pit I was using the previous times.

Left phone to boot up the first time, reboot in download mode with sdcard in it, flashed for a second time recovery set, again with pit having removed sdcard this time.

Each time flashing was successful, but if not put sdcard back in, phone is not rebooting.

So PUT CARD again and phone boot up normal with no problem at all.

After that i rebooted in download mode and flashed latest stock rom for europe , without using pit file having removed sdcard after booted in download mode, but phone also didnt boot until put sdcard in it again

Each and every flash with the odin was successful and didnt had any error in no stage of this process.

I had freezed my phone before that and also I have made a '' device'' that I use to keep my phone cool during all that.

In a square box, i have putted ice cells and on top a thin cover on which i put the phone without the back cover, letting phone lay on ice without getting wet.

This way phone stays cool during all that , so no overheating issues at all.

I had updated all the way all apps from Samsung and google no problem at all.

Phone does NOT reboot if sdcard is not in.

I have received the latest OTA available, a while ago, with even February security updates,

(I will sent you screenshots later) .

The system found and updated successfully my country, region, everything, updated BL, CS, ROM, but NO BOOT WITHOUT THE CARD STILL :(

I am almost convinced that this is definitely a hardware problem of my phone.

At least i dont face freezing and rebooting so far and phone seems to work better than other times.

But UNTIL YESTERDAY, before do all that, during night when the phone was not in use,

it was closing down and couldNOT open until took battery and put back in.

Tonight i will monitor if at least that is fixed with the new rom

I can't, Du has stopped development of that, their thread is closed and have remove all their works from xda. I wouldn't advise using a discontinued ROM. At least I wouldn't like that. Except that my phone never is able to boot a custom ROM, I have tried so many times

I tried to flash the new BL found in here:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881

post No 3, because although I updated the rom, my bootloader stayed the same of previous version (this is always my problem, booting)

All though I flashed it 7 times and every time pass from odin, its not changing but stays the same

Doing that tripped my rom status to custom. I was very annoyed, because that last update of the rom is very fast and the phone was working excellent.

So i got pissed and flashed TWRP (6 times tried until manage this also), Rooted phone and now I am on Stock rooted phone.

I will read about what you are suggesting, get their files and will try as soon as I see the first fault of this one I have right now.

Sorry but I am too tired this week to try again to flash everything from the beginning.

But as soon as I do it I will inform you ASAP :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Take a look in the latest results. As i told you its very fast. And no freezing and reboots so far. Thats why i want to stay here for a while . Last one is before rooting ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Ok guys here it is. I think that for the first time since the last almost 2 months i think i have a phone that its working almost as it should for that kind of phone.

Since last rom update with February relese everything is working fast smooth troubleness.

The last 8 hours phone is working without cpu wake lock or anything of that kind, managed to spend the night without dead sleep and in the morning it full functional.

In my next posts i will try to make a summary report of what exactly i have done this time

Hello I am from Italy Landingview. I too have a N910F. I wanted to understand what principle works on the fact of putting the phone in the freezer. Currently my notes 4 is seen on management devices like and has light absorption of 0,42A. Anything on the screen and no vibration showing ignition to operate with Odin. I wanted to try this thing in the freezer, but I fear that the smartphone you can mess up even further (eg display).
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xollen:
Just freeze it no fear half hour or so more done that like 20x times, without freezing i can't flash anything or root phone any step needed freezing my phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
This is something that has been found out experimentally and not as part of a proccess that was described in the 'books'.

We noticed that the phone was overheated when flashing thing with odin and finally shut-ted down or rebooted before the processes been finished.

Or never reacted with the sdcard to vibrate and start debrick process.

Looking a way to pass that, someday a user suggested freezer over night and that was the trick that made things working to all of us.

My phone has pass 7 nights in the freezer in 5C each time for 5-6 hours each time.

I also have putted in deep freezer ( -20 C ) 5-6 times for 10 minutes each time. No problem so far seen of this.

With a soft fabric clean it, right after taken it out of the freezer, to take moisture of and put it to odin and you will see that work will be done.

when put it in the freezer ,Keep it in the zip bag ( i use 2 zip bags) with as less air as possible in the bag

(less air-less moisture)

Did you finally managed to install TWRP and SU?

I hope everything went well this time :)

I made two attempts. Put the phone in the freezer as indicated. Removed. Put the micro sd (formatted fat 32) and put it in the image file downloaded from mega.nz/#F!QIMmFRIT!Ns3AM-n0FUoMqOOWUif9ng.

Put battery, low volume down, home and power for 20 seconds. But nothing. The cell has no vibrato and did not appear nothing on display, it is recognized by the mobile PC or Odin. What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Put again pnone in the freezer for one hour.

After taking it out, put card and then battery and only press POWER button.

If its vibrating but nothing happens on screen, put it in the wall charger and leave it for 5 minutes like that. Sometimes its all that takes.

Are you sure your battery is charged? if not can you charge it with an external charger just to be sure?

Sometimes after 5-6 minutes with no activity, screen light up. That means the phone is working in the background trying to de-brick.

But vibration is important, if its not freeze it more
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] landingview:
Ok, I'll try tomorrow. Some questions: is correct formatting the micro SD (I am using an 8 gigabytes with Fat File System. There are other settings to be set? To avoid damage to the LCD can I put in the freezer in the motherboard and then reassemble it in the cell and do tests? And 'it correct the image file that I put in the micro sd? Thanks for your support. Let's hope so.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
please read this. I am explaining what I have found out about the sdcard and what and how to format it.

The best way is to put it in another android phone and formated but the program i mention in that post can do the job for you and so to be sure the card is properly formated

Dont worry about the display of your phone, more than 50 people have tested that and no one had any problem before. It can stand from -10 to 70 C with no problem.

From the other hand what will you do the display if the phone is dead?

yes I have the same and the sdcard look like this with the files in it:

these are the first files that you can also see when flashing recovery Set of 4 files with odin

These are the boot files , our phone uses to boot up.

If you are sure your card is formated like this and all files are present like this, maybe tehre is something different happening with your phone.

But check asgain to see your files

I was able to boot my SM-N910W8 using a 32 GB Class 10 SD Card :) Installed the firmware provided using Odin and voila :)

The phone booted right away with the SD Card inserted, however I'm experiencing Freezes and Power Offs... like before I flashed it originally.

I think this is all related to the note 4 overheating... need to figure that out but I was able to recover it and that's all that matter.

Thanks again, will keep you all informed.

I checked the image file size that I used and is different. My image file is 4608 KB. For safety you can get back, please, click the link that you used?

I read the post, you do not start the phone to overheat. But I do not know on the motherboard overheating.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Just to be sure I will repeat what I have done, so you can compere and see if anything different in your method

Download image from here:

mega:#!PpVXga4R!AAAAAAAAAABD2gFb4Kaw2QAAAAAAAAAAQ9oBW-CmsNk

( mega:#!PpVXga4R!AAAAAAAAAABD2gFb4Kaw2QAAAAAAAAAAQ9oBW-CmsNk )

install "Win32DiskImager-0.9.5.exe"

Insert the SD-Card in the computer and format it

(if previous is formatted with Win32DiskImager-0.9.5.exe, maybe windows will not recognize your card or see less space in it, so install SDFormatter and format it , using the option ''FORMATE SIZE ADJUSTMENT'' before you format it with windows and then use Win32DiskImage , to write the image in it)

After done, use ''EaseUS Partition Master 11.9'' to ensure that your card has the same structure like the image I posted in previous posts. If the card you use is 8 Gb the un-partition size would be about 7gb, if you use 16 Gb the size would be 14+Gb like mine and so on for bigger cards.

This happens because Win32DiskImage uses the whole size of the card when creating the image and there is no empty space left. What is important is the debrick files and their structure to be right.

the above link I gave you and also this , in the end of my post, have the same image file in them. I have find and download from 3 different places but the image is the same everywhere,

this link at the end, have inside it all the files you will need

1. image

2. programs to use

3. set of 4 files you may need afterwords to flash the recovery files through odin

4. step by step instructions

so download the complete set and read the instruction also in there to be ready for everything

Hello everybody

I have note 4 (910f) and I have use all instructions to recovery and unbrick the phone and it works good just I have one big problem. When I restart my phone I can not start phone on just if i remove the battery and put it in frezz for 3 or 5 min and get the battery back. If I don't remove the battery and put the phone in frezz never start on. So anyone has any solution to fix this problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Have you tried to leave the unbrick sdcard in the phone and try to reboot?

If it does, you have the same problem I do.

Cannt reboot, boot in recovery or download mode if I have removed the ext sdcard from the phone.

Please try that too and let us know.

I have, maybe the fastest Samsung Note 4 this moment in XDA, (have compere with a lot of others) , but I cannt reboot without sdcard :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fofinho3116:
Yes i have tried to leave the unbrick sdcard in the phone ? and I have still the same problem. I don't think because of unbrick sdcard in or out the phone ,but I think because of hardware or something else. So if anyone knows how to fix this problem?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
OK GUYS , here are the news. My phone (N910F) is bricked again.

After 15 days with perfect function, one day I noticed that the battery statistics were negative, charging status also showing -1200 mA, time remaining infinitive, etc.

The next day phone started again to freeze and shut down and freezer came back into my life :(

As you can understand I have tried everything, but same things as before.

The only good news (for me) is that in this search to find a solution I discovered that there is a new TWRP version for our phone 3.1.xx.

I installed it in my phone and with that, I managed for the first time to install a custom rom, Lineage 14.1 with Nougat Android.

Things are the same with custom rom, but at least now, I now how to deal with that because custom rom is my thing and can format and reinstall everything in a matter of minutes.

Freezing and lagging is still present, but in this stage, i cannot define which comes from the phone's hardware problem

(witch definitely is our problem, after talking to more than 50 users and a service technician that I know and trust for his knowledge. This is motherboard defect that comes out with different ways to any of us),

or these lags comes because of the early stage of the custom rom's development, as other users in their thread (without hardware problem) reporting similar problems.

Any way, if anyone of you is interested on testing his luck here are the links for the

new TWRP recovery, specially for our phone: (both versions named there are working, tested from me also)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71387377&postcount=1085

and the linage 14.1 Rom:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3536401

I am going to try the RR Nougat rom in the next days and let you know if it behaves better to our phones.

Also I am downloading the last stock rom for the European version of the rom and will try to make a mega upload link and share it here, as from sammobile takes more than 4-5 hours (with free account, if even start) to download, so if any other need it , can have it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] nakrerkan:
My friend, I have experienced all of the processes you mentioned.

The only difference was that my device gave up earlier.

At the moment my device can not complete the installation at all. I say it again in no way.

With sdcard, download mode and bootloader are opened. I can even install twrp.

But with both the odin and the smart switch, no installation can be completed.

Both stock rom and custom rom can not be completed at all.

Even after you've been waiting in the freezer and even on ice, no load can be completed.

There is another interesting side.

My device can be opened without an unbrick sdcard but still no installation can be completed.

It's always been said that factory faults for the n910f model devices have already been said.

Unfortunately the inevitable happened to me.

I gave up and ordered a motherboard for my device.

When it comes to the new motherboard, maybe use a little more and sell it.

I hope it's better for you.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
As i mention in my post, it was the first time I managed to flash a custom rom.

I had tried every single one available for our phone. Never booted up a single one.

With this recovery and Lineage latest update I happened.

I was more surprised than you when I saw phone to boot up in only 5 minutes.

After that ( i hadn't formatted internal storage) reboot in recovery, formated everything and then copied again throygh recovery from my pc, Rom and gapps and cleaned flashed the rom.

In first attempt i received error cannot format system, ''error 7 ''

At first i almost panicked, but then tried again and system formatted everything and installed again , clean this time rom and gapps and system booted up in 5 minutes.

Internal storage of the phone is totally clean with 24 Gb of free space. Lineage has cleaned up everything.

Still have freezing and lagging, but as I experienced user of Note 2 I can handle much easier now that I dont have to deal with Samsung, locks and s***ts.

My fear is that this damage on the board will spead to other parts of the phone too.

Anyway, thats how things are for me. Waiting and see hoe this will goes on.

Thank you for your reply, hope everything goes well for you :)

I update you on my situation. I managed to restart it after holding nearly two hours in the freezer as indicated. The cell is broken down normally and I was able to do all the backup with Smart Switch (Note 4 to the owner of the great satisfaction). Then I tried to update the system always via Smart Switch but the operation is not successful. I followed the directions given by loading with Odin before APQ8084_boot_recovery_v2.pit "in PIT tab and" normal "files bootloader

in BL tab. And the operation is successful, then load dowload mode Bootloader (BL), AP (PLATFORM), CP (MODEM), and CSC but I get stuck right away by giving the error message: write flash failure. First he gave me: EMMC aboot write fail

Missing very little to complete the terminal recovery. One last help. You were really great and the only ones to suggest this innovative method but resolving the freezer.
