Can you give me some more information about that?

What exactly is your problem?

Your phone is not working at all?

You can't boot in Lineage rom?

Is your phone stack in download mode and it cannt boot up?

Can you boot in Rom but you can't have reception and GSM service?

Please give me some more information so I will be able to help you more, if I can

On lineage gsm network don't work(no call no sms no data but wifi work)

The fone boot correctly on lineage

I have download mode but when i want to flash stock rom i have error on flash.i send you the error on my firs post ( image on attach file)

It post the error on the next post
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] heimdallZ:
This is the screenshoot of error
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
THIS IS A CLASSIC EMMC error.

Freezing and trying again and again to flash a stock repair rom, is the only thing that can help you.

It doesnt happen by trying just once.

You may have to freeze and try and again fail.

dont give up

You must try again and again.

I had to do it more than 5 times until I manage to go to the next level, which is phone to boot.

I am sorry I dont have a final solution about that.

This is a hardware problem and it can only be deal for a while with software solutions.

The ultimate solution is changing of the motherboard.

These days, though, more and more people are reporting, that even that, is not solving the problem.

Many motherboard that are on sale out there, are also defective, or repaired and after sometime, problems come back again. Samsung is no longer manufacturing new board for Note 4 , I am afraid

SO, what we have left is trying to make our Note 4 to work, with what we have, software solutions.

I have this phone in my hand 11 months. I bought it knowing it is problematic.

I have spend thousand of hours on it, to make it working. And it is working.

But I am also very carefull. No games, no anything that can overheat it.

No stock rom, no magisk, no xpose, no modes.

I am using now Lineage 14.1 rom

or AICP rom for our phone

Hi Guys,

I have strange issue (may be).

ISSUES which i faced:

1. initially phone random reboot happened (changed battery) - was on stock marshmallow (not rooted).

2. after few weeks of usage again phone rebooted - changed to Nameless custom ROM - ver07. it was fine for few days , after phone was again making issue.

- initially random reboot .

- i observed that when my phone gets heat it happened (while playing online games). so i freezed (refrigerated) for few minutes and it works fine.

and for a while it happened(few weeks) . so i thought it might be thread relevant issue .

- i flashed N910G files via odim (PIT/BL/AP/CSC etc files ) , after that my phone even turned on , at times (not sure when) phone enters bootloader mode . flashing again (pass status) also wont make my phone to normal .

Kindly advice.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

added to the above comments/reply from me , i could able to enter download mode (after freezing the device for few minutes).. any help would be appreciated.

1 . flashed files (post1) without checking re-partition as it causes error during flashing in odin .

2. also with re-partition check . but same issue ,phone doesnt start (while connecting via USB - battery symbols but not charging symbol).

* all steps done without debrick image and sd cards stuffs . just flashed it ....

*important note : My bad that i placed PIT in odin while flashing the mobile along with BL/AP/etc file ...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] vndkmr97:
Thanks for the detailed post, actually i could able to enter download mode (without doing the debrick image).

Where i exactly stuck is when i do ODIN , even after PASS sign i could not able to bypass the samsung logo . ?

There is another method for unbricking , which has been reported Working for n910f .

http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/581a9bfb9be0f/bricked phne recovery.zip

Even this method needs a functional n910f , but this method involves odin and flashing of pit file .

Therefore Some people might hesitate to create a debrick.img .

Ok guys , today one guy used this debrick.img to debrick his n910g.

If this is the case then n910f users should also be able to debrick with a debrick.imh created via functional n910f .

Finally, I'm there :D thanks to [MENTION=7132900]yashthemw[/MENTION] for this thread, and thanks to [MENTION=6949733]dyasten[/MENTION] for the SM-N910F working solution.

So to make this clear, I didn't have another working SM-N910F I just used the files provided by dyasten here

I followed step by step the tutorial, except that I got confused at the end. when Point (32) didn't work, I flashed the PIT file : Point (33 -> 36), but that didn't fix the problem. And so point 37 (redo 27 - 32) which didn't work also and I felt in a loop.

So what i did there is : I selected all the four files and also the PIT file, ticked the squares like the picture bellow and I started the flashing and it worked like charm :laugh:

And now my phone is fully working, thank you [MENTION=7132900]yashthemw[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6949733]dyasten[/MENTION] again for your big help.

My phone's firmware was 6.0.1 when I bricked it (tried to flash it with a low battery bad idea), and the interesting part is that its firmware now is still 6.0.1 although the recovery firmware is a 5.1.1

do you have the same symtphom with feifelm1983 ??

when i turned on my phone it just vibrate. with nothing on the screen. wait for about 30min. nothing. but i think this debrick.img doing something. cause without it. theres no vibrate at all when i turned on my phone.

theres img file on that mega folder. is that the debrick image ? size arr 4gb.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Usamad:
Download all the files , you'll need them, and yes that is the debrick image.

I also experienced that(phone it just vibrates with nothing on the screen), I didn't wait for that long, I removed the battery and the memory card, then I held the power button for about 10 seconds, place everything back connect it to the PC and then held the power button + the volume down and the home button and it went into download mode.

I don't know if what I did has any effect, but I tried many times so be patient.

Don't forget to install the Qualcomm drivers "QualcommDrv"
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
This bootloop, may be is caused by leftovers from previous installations.

Have you tried after flashing the rom, to get to recovery (POWER, HOME, VOLUME UP) and perform a wipe cashe dalvik and USER data?

Even when stock rom is flashed, you always have to clear data before rom boot for the first time.

So if the stock rom is successfully flashed, if it is stuck in Samsung logo, hard reboot it (by pressing the power button, or even take off the battery)

boot in recovery and perform a clear ''all user data'' , wipe cashe and Dalvik(if that option is present),then reboot system

If even that is not helping, think to flash TWRP and do that with the TWRP wipe menu

(wipe cashe and Dalvik)

wipe data

reboot system.

N910g india version

Hi every one..

A big thanks to [MENTION=7132900]yashthemw[/MENTION]

following ur posts since the last 2 days ..covered from pages 01 to 78

cmng to the issue my N910G has stopped working a week ago actually it was BRICKED as i understood frm ur posts...however pc recognizes as Qualcomm usb..908.

tried all the methods ..created debrick using other samsung phone and copied the file to sd card (san disk sdhc 8 gb) using win32diskimager....

i tried to turn the N910G using the sd card and all key combos...but unsuccessful..used freezer technique tooo...

one big doubt ... pc recognizes as Qualcomm usb..908 means no hard ware problem (i mean the motherboard) or there is a chance of mother board failure even if the pc recognizes as Qualcomm usb..908

kindly help me in fixing this...specially N910G USERS WHO FIXED UR MOBILES

THANKS IN ADVANCE
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
That pc is correct recognizing your motherboard doesnt mean you dont have the problem.

Since phone is not booting up, there is a big posibility about that.

Try 2 things:

1. As your phone is recognized, that mean it can be charged too? Do you see any signs of that?

Are you sure your battery is charged? Try leaving it plugged in the pc and see if it gets charged.

After , maybe an hour, plug it in the wall charger and leave it for another one, to be sure the battery is charged.

2. Try another SDCARD. I have created a 16gb class10 sdcard for the unbrick image and only 79 Mb of free space has left.

I think the card is not enough to fill the whole debrick image in it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] prasanth psg:
Thank u logosA...

unlucky again..:eek:

but the partition shows 7gb of space left( as some one mentioned)....battery needs no power charged with external source..

However, mobile remain connected in Qualcomm mode to the pc with or with out SD card and Battery...i mean debrick image loaded sd and fully charged battery has no effect when my mobile was connected to PC...am i the only one who is facing this r u ppl hav also faced this...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
right, I forgot you said your phone is a 910G and not F. so image is anly 18 Mb.

then, no other ideas, sorry

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] v00d007:
My experiences on a N910F:

- in my case the phone starts directly in DL mode and shows "unable to normal boot" and "MMC_write_fail", no matter how I wake it up (with charger, power button, 3 buttons...)

- to bypass this state it isn't really necessary to put it in the freezer, I used a gel cooling pack, I just layed the N4 on it for ~5 min. While letting it there Odin was able to re-partition and flash latest official FW.

- but then the 1st boot (after the one to recovery) failed again, it just stuck while led pulsating blue.

- when I let temperature raise again to normal state, this N4 becomes a brick again...

-> So, my conclusion is: eMMC failure is definitely the DEATH of the mainboard!

BTW: congrats to Samsung for creating this substandard hardware design on a flaggship phone... a real scandal in my eyes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] kissme99:
Hi there. My Note4 after update is dead, I'm trying to fix this.

The only way to go to Download Mode for me is freezer + JIG. Then I can see my phone in Odin.

But I can't flash 4 files system, flashing "TRLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit" as a PIT gets me FAIL too.

What can I do?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] v00d007:
I just posted what is possible and what's not - just read! Your phone needs a new mainboard, all other efforts won't fix it anymore!

For all who still have no problems yet, you can do some things to avoid this mainboard damage happening:

- generally limit cpu/gpu clocks (2Ghz/389Mhz are enough anyways)

- always cool down the N4 i.e. with a gel cooling pad first or put it in the frigde for an hour before installing a rom, builing art cache, doing an official ota update, creating a backup with twrp, etc.

When the MMC memory gets to hot too often, it will fail sooner or later as this is a hardware design bug alt least in v0.900. If you got a later hardware revision you'll possibly never face this problem ever, as Samsung seemed to have fixed the faulty design later in 2015.

I also undervolt my (still healthy) N910F by -100mV offset with Adiutor, what also saves some battery.

Try to flash a custom ROM and see if it helps.

If you have already the 4 file set, try this:

download TWRP for our phone

make sure that you have previously freeze enough your phone

and also during the flashing you have taken off the back cover and have it on a very cold surface

during the whole process.

OPEN Odin and run it as administrator.

from the 4 files set use these:

Put BL in its BL slot

Put CP in its CP slot

put TWRP in the AP slot

Make sure auto-reboot is NOT ticked

FLASH THEM.

After odin flash and you see 'PASS', unplug your phone and wait 10 sec

take off your battery and put your phone back to freezer for a while

(I put it in deep freezer in a zip bag for 5 minutes)

take it off put back the battery and press HOME+POWER+VOLUME UP

This will take you to TWRP recovery

1. Advance wipe

factory reset

WIPE:

cashe

Dalvik

data

system

Format DATA (type yes)

plug your phone to pc

Your phone will be recognize and you can copy the rom and gapps that you have previously

download in your internal storage.

2. INSTALL MENU

install rom

wipe cashe and dalvik

install Gapps

wipe cashe and dalvik

reboot system

You need about 5 minutes to boot up

In all that time you can keep your phone in the freezer

until it boots up to keep it cool

Put a nylon on a clean spot of the freezer and put your phone on it

with its back cover off, to keep it cool during booting

I have done it just yesterday installing the latest Lineage rom with BenGapps mini

and I know its working and is a good rom for our phone

Lineage's rom is now unified, meaning for each and every variant of Note 4

If you want give it a try.

After rom has been set up and you have successfully install you google account

go to Play and install this app for the beginning until your phone is settling up.

It will keep you phone awake and will not let it go to deep sleep, of freeze

you can find rom and Gapps here:

PS: My phone is a Note 4 SM-N910F and I am using a debrick sdcard

that I have created with the files and the instructions of this thread

I will never take off this card, because my phone can never BOOT, re BOOT or get to DOWNLOAD MODE

if the card is missing, so I think its a quite fuxxx up phone, but its still working very good after it boots up.

So have hope and try and try again

GOOD LUCK

All this well meant tips won't fix the hardware based defect. It's just an imperfect hardware design by Samsung and there's simply no software workaround for it.... Please don't raise false hope in us users.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
I THINK IN MY OTHER posts I was perfectly clear that its a hardware problem and will not be fixed if we dont replace the motherboard.

But not every one can / afford do that.

The software solutions that dev and all people in this thread have given, are in order to extend -if possible- the life of our bricked phones. A lot of people have spend hundreds of hours of their free time, to fix their phones and willingly are sharing their knowledge with us. We can only thank them for that and apriciate their giving.

No one is forced to do it, if he does not want/understand the risk.

Do YOU have anything else to suggest, except maybe a protest to Samsung Headquarters?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] v00d007:
Yes I'd suggest everyone with MMC failure to buy a N4 with i.e. broken display (but working hardware) i.e. at ebay for 50-80 bucks, get a youtube video with how-to change the motherboard and then get a fully working N4 back. All other options aren't really good enough to use it as daily driver again. My opinion.

Edit: i.e. something like this one here:

tried with pit files and recovery firmware thats listed in the first page for sm-n910f : no luck

keep on getting the odin write fail error

any solutions regarding this !!

Thank alot guys i resolved it by keeping the phone in freezer for 20 mins then straight away flash it before it reaches normal working temperature

and please make sure that u have battery charged over at least 75 %

i only selected

BL

Ap

CP

and pit

in odin

it worked keep on trying as the original thread holder say have patience

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] v00d007:
My procedure is a lot less stressfull: Pull the back cover off, then lay the N4 on an ice pack. I took a gel ice pack right out of the freezer. Then wait ~2 min and do your operations. Leave it there until you're done with all. You'll see, the N4 will work like on the very 1st boot... (during that procedure ;) )
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] cyber explorer:
yeah bro i was able to flash the downloaded recovery firmware after freezing it for 20 mins !! but it shud be quick , and shud not let the temperature to get back to normal , but the mmc error still exist for that the only solution is to install wake lock app and stop the cpu going to sleep mode !! impacts on battery a little but thats the only way i guess !!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] v00d007:
As I decribed above, you can do whatever you want with the N4 as long as it lays on an ice pack. So, it can be stressless.

And concerning the battery: it doesn't like it neither too hot nor too cold. System might show incorrect stats afterwards, as it did in my case.

My gosh, you're a genius or whoever thought this idea. It worked putting the device in the freezer!!! I was able to Odin and install a firmware I downloaded. Back story, my friend bought the Note 4 (SM-N910V) and when it was turned on it was on download mode. I accidentally messed it up to where it would not boot. Pretty much I hard bricked it by accident. I've been working on trying to revive this phone for about a week and decided to try this as a last resort. Well as I finish typing this, the phone just finished booting up. :good:

---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 AM ----------

Looks like I spoke too soon. As soon as it got room temperature the phone, it stop booting up (hard bricked), with the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM#) in device manager :(.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] logosA:
Dont give up just yet. Since you now have seen how its done, try again and again.

After you take your phone out of the freezer, keep it cold during the whole flashing and booting up process.

Take a bag full of ice , or a bag with frozen vegetable, or anything that is that cold, cover it with something that will not leave water to get in touch with your phone,take of the back cover of your phone and lay it on top of the cold surface.

help it that way until it reaches the end and boot up completely.
