Success

Thanks a lot , I recover my phone from death. Now I have other issue related to my phone. Sometimes it stuck , freezz screen, and randomly reboot. Sometimes it wont turn on until I take off battery and bring back it. Does anyone know why is this happening ? Is some hardware issue or software issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] yashthemw:
It is surely an emmc failure.

You can prevent lag and freeze by using wakelock app from playstore.

The cpu should not go in sleep mode.

This will eventually create an impact on battery life, but this is the only way to keep the phone in working condition.

With the image of 3'74 Gb for the SM-910F does not work ...

I have tested all variables with 4, 8, 16 and 32 gigas Class 10 U1, U3 ... and key combinations ...

However with images of 128 Mb in Note 4 Edge 915FY has worked at first, in total HARDBRICK, that is without load led, with no startup images and no signs of life of any kind.

A 128MB dump of "mmcblk0" which will help unbrick your phone, is more effective in the case of Note 4 brother ...

In the PDF guide, it talks about the method, ODIN with PIT and Boot (only the bootloader) and a TFlash on a healthy device (I do not have the opportunity to get a correct image, since I do not have a NOTE 4 SM-N910F to spare )

Does anyone have that 128 mb mmcblk0 dump for the Qualcomm N915F?

Thank you

Unable to write correctly the image on the card

Thank you all, for your work here guys!

I have note 4 N910F version that is bricked.

I'm trying for a week to write the downloaded image file "SD4GB.WinDI.IMG" to a SanDisk 16GB card, class 10 using win32diskimager and win7 as an OS. I fallowed dozen times the procedure described above, following the exact steps, but I am not succeeding. The only thing I get on the card is a folder named "image" that has about 17 MB, containing 154 files and the structure of partitions showed by EaseUS Partition Master is one GPT partition and nothing else. The downloaded .img file is from the links provided in the post, also the programms. I downloaded the same image file from different locations, because I thought the image file may be damaged. Probably I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone help me, please? Thank You very much.

How do you formar card before write image in it? Do you use widows to format it, or a another phone with android 5 or bigger. Windows may dont see the whole card after fail writing image. So you must be reformat it with a phone or some windows app for sdcards and after that use windows to format it in its device default once more

Unable to write correctly the image on the card

Thank you very much for your quick answer, logosA.

I've used two computers for this job. One with winXP OS and the other with win7 OS. The result was the same on both. I'm working in Administrator account on both computers. I've tryied four different types of SD cards: Kingston, Samsung, Verbatim, all having 8GB and class 10. Finally I decided to buy a new SD Card, SanDIsk, 16GB, class 10, identical with the one recomanded by you, at post #532. Good stuff, really. I could notice that the writting speed is better. I formated all the cards on PC, at Fat 32, using SDFormatter v4.0 with the option Quick format and Format adjustment to ON. Several times I used Format type to Full. I can say that the card is formatted correctly, showing the right size of 16 GB and Fat 32 in Explorer. I double checked that. For writting the image I used Win32DiskImager 0.9.5 for the first and then, Win32DiskImager 1.0. No difference at all. I had doubts about the downloaded image file, but I've downloaded it from several locations (I've Made the MD5 Checksum of "SD4GB.WinDI.IMG", wich is the same) making different attempts, but the result was always the same. I don't know what to think about it, anymore...

Thank you.

The only thing that was showed, is, that i have a mmc_read_failure. congrats, that whole work was a pain in the a**. any tipps? my phone died for 2 months now, but i don't gave up and followed the guide, with success. but how the hell i can remove mmc read fail?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
My advice is to NOT use kies or smartlink for that process. In fact I have UN- installed everything related to Samsung for my PC, as kies could prevent you phone from been properly detected from your pc.

What I did was to uninstall everything samsung related, installed latest Usb drivers(1.5.63 I think are the latest now)

Freeze your phone and run the whole process with odin from the begging.

I am keeping phone cold during all that, by having put the phone over ice cube with the back cover removed.

Take an nylon bag, put ice in it, seal it tight so cannt hurt your phone and after taking phone from the freezer, let it lay on the bag while connected with pc and flashing with odin.

This is what I did (and still am doing when phone act like that).

Try to keep phone cold until everything is set and has boot and install rom and updates.

Then, dont forget to install CPU Awake , at least for the first day or 2 , until your phone has set up completely.

good luck my friend.

sry guys I don't understand some things.

My note 4 got bricked somehow during an update. I am not a newbie, I got a JIG usb, I flashed several samsung during years, so I plugged it and reflashed from scratch via odin.

Odin was stopping in the middle of the flash too, I tried every solution till the battery drain out and wasn't able to do a proper flash, don't know why.

Now i recharged the battery but the phone looks dead, can't go to download mode, can't turn it on. If i connect it the pc sees the microsd inserted with the recovery img as described in the thread but not the phone itself, so i can't get it in download mode (i can't turn it on). I don't understand what's the procedure to unbrick a galaxy that won't turn on to go in download mode. I have searched many threads but seems a lot of generic stuff for generic snapdragon devices.

Can someone guide me please?

Thanks in advance.

regards

take off your battery, sdcard . Put your phone in a zip bag.

In one corner of the zip bag put a straw and suck the air from the bag while zipping it up.

That will remove all the air(so less humidity ) of the bag.

Put your phone on the frezer (its not a joke) . Leave it for at least 2 hours

After taking it out put battery and sdcard and press buttons to get to download mode.

Your phone must start this way and see download mode on screen.

If it does, use odin to flash the stock rom.

If it doesnt, tell us and the OP will guide you and all of us will do what ever we can for that too.

Good luck

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] russel51:
so i can get in download mode, then i can flash the files provided at the beginning of the thread, then it reboots and says "installing system update". At this point screen goes black and I am stucked.

What to do?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Try to keep your phone cool during all that.

Take a bag (double) fill it with ice and seal it well.

after you take the rom of the freezer and start the process with odin, keep your phone on that bag with ice.

This will keep the procesor in accepted temperature other wise thermal is shutting it down.

When i did that to my phone I saw that it can reach even 90 C, so it shuts down. With ice you will prevent that.

Also its good to have your phone pluged in wall charger after flashing and during system update.

That what i did and finally managed to save my phone.

take a look here to see what i mean:

Note 4 would not power on at all

I wanted to ask whether this is a permanent fix for the motherboard or just something to get bricked phones to turn on.

My note 4 SM910F usually does not turn on if the battery dies or if I turn it off. The battery died on me again last night and the phone became completely non-responsive and nothing would happen if I pressed the power button. Even freezing it overnight did not help.

In the end I created a recovery SD card following the instructions here. Inserted the SD card into the my phone but still no vibration when I pressed the power button. Then I connected my phone to the charger and suddenly the battery sign came on and then I could power it on again.

I did use to get EMMC_READ_FAILED error whenever my phone would restart without wakelock app.

If I go through the whole process posted by the op, would it fix my phone or should I just replace the motherboard? some advice from the pros would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
I AM SORRY BUT YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO FIX THIS UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR motherbord.

This is a hardware error and cannt be fixed by sofware patches.

This will only give you sometime to keep using your phone.

So if you have warranty and can use it go for it.

Otherwise join the club, our club :)

Super Bricked NOTE 4

Hi Everyone, first of all thank you all for your this post it's the best I have found online concerning this matter.

Now the issue at hand, I have an n910w8 (Canadian edition), after a boot loop issue and various tries to fix it I bricked it. I made a recovery microSD as per you instructions and it worked like a charm, the phone boots both on recovery and download mode, additionally, when it tries to boot it shows in the upper corner in red "SECURE CHECK FAIL:LOODED PIT and ERROR: Device have invalid pit" . The primary problem is that the pc won't recognize it, it connects but shows "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed) or code 43. Seems like a simple problem but I have tried everything, uninstalled all drivers re-installed them including the Qualcomm drivers as well, tried multiple original cables and PCs and nothing. Last thing it doesn't allow updates from external storage (microSD and from ABD) and the factory reset fails with 2 messages "dm-verity verification fail..." and E: failed to mount / preload (no such file or directory). At this point I am about to sell it for parts, even though it's the best phone I ever had. Any advice or recommendations would be most welcome. Thank you in advance.

This is a very long shot , but desperate times needs desperate measures.

Have you tried Linux and heimdall? This is the program that can be used in linux to flash files in our phone.

all the files you need are mentioned by the OP here:

https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/note-4-debrick-img-t3488114/post69489251#post69489251

unfortunately there is NO other link for you to download, than mega where the files are stored.

Make a free account in MEGA, you will get 50Gb free upload-download.

I dont have any other link to give you, sorry. :(

The files are very big, ~4Gb each so you have to try again.

if you use this link, you will get every file you need in it, so go for it at start.

https://mega.nz/#F!QIMmFRIT!Ns3AM-n0FUoMqOOWUif9ng

after you get the files, you will be able to make an sdcard which you will use (after you freeze your phone) to debrick your phone or if it doesnt from the beginning, will help you get in download mode and flash the repair 4file set rom that is included in the Note4 folder and that's how you can get your phone back.

Good luck my friend

now what you need is this:

find the latest available for your phone , download it and flash it in yourphone.

This wil also update your BL, CP, (BOOTLOADER, MODEM). the latest stock roms are much stable.

If you have trouble flashing stock rom use SAMFIRM to download stock rom in 4file set (binary nature) and flash it in your phone.

Go here:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Download SAMFIRM 3.06 and install it in your pc

Run it , fill your model and region , check box ''BINARY NATURE''> Check update

This will find and download the latest available 4file set (repair stock rom) for your phone which you can use to flash and repair your phone.

Always remember , during this processes KEEP YOUR PHONE COLD

WHAT rom do you have now on your phone? Install ''PHONE INFO*SAMSUNG'' FROM PLAYSTORE and check what you are having now.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

If you want to stay in LOLIPOP (5.1) the 4file set that you found in the mega upload/folder NOTE 4 is the stock rom for Lolipop so you can stay in it and dont update your phone's OS.

I dont think its a very good idea, but that is just my opinion.

Hi, i folowed your instructions.

1. Flashed almost 4 gb img file to sd card (in my case 8gb class4) and nothing vibrates and nothing shows up on computer.

2. Then i flashed my card with another n910f to the same sd card with odin and botlooder and pit file, then i inserted sdcard back to my brick' and pressed POWER, phone VIBRATES ONCE, but nothing more happens. Triyed warious ways to enter download mode by pressing UP after vibration, or by holding three buttons combo vol- and home and power, then vibration came up after some 12 seconds, then i press up again, nothing happens.

3. A question is, where i was wrong? bad card? bad .pit file? Hardware issue ? i saw some other pit file on xda earlier but cant find it again..

EDIT. I just left phone in freezer to get it cold. will take it in the morning.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Since its vibrating, even once there is hope.

SDCARD, we have notice, by experience only, that a 10 class card is always working, class 4 maybe is to slow in read writing speeds and may dont do the job. So if you have, use a class 10 card that its write/read speed is close to your phones speed, because that it what it does, simulates all the files in your phone and make phone boot and help it restore what is damaged. If it doesnt boot all the way up with the help of the sdcard, then it will help you go to download mode and flash stock rom (normal or repair set) and this way , hopefully you can restore your phone.

But have no false hopes, this is a hardware problem , so you have much to do after that.

The important now, is to get to download mode.
