Another Brick.... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Bricked my phone. I tried to put the stock att kernal on while ics was running. stupid thing to do. I can get it into download mode and odin recognizes it. Need help thanks.

Just flash the odin one click ICS .exe file again.
Should work?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330

I am curious what exactly happened here... did you install the ICS leaked odin one click .exe or just a ROM from the dev section?
What did you do to brick it? What stock kernel did you try to flash exactly?
Thanks!

I think he was trying to flash the GB kernel on the ICS build.

Why do people use the term brick so loosely? Just reflash back using the Odin one click or flash another rom using cwm.

I think soft brick should just be boot loop and hard brick is no life or boot error.

You have to flash a stock gingerbread ROM, not just the kernel. Or you could use a nandroid backup if you have one in clockwork mod.

Were do i find one?

From the link page:
"The previously leak was version UCLC5. The following build is UCLD3. This is a major bug fix build, so there are no new features. Those who are testing this build out say it’s smoother than ever, although Instagram still doesn’t work. Without further ado, use the guide below to flash the new leak onto your SGH-I717."
Cool.. new leak :-D getting closer to official... then kernel sources and we even have init.d injection from another member... things are getting juicy personally waiting on a CWM version/ROM by a known dev using this base before I test drive it. Neat none the less and glad cwm/root are attainable without modification after Odin.

Why are you trying to reset it?? Only reset it if you're planning on sending your phone for repair, if not don't play around with it because you can brick your device, I've not seen it happen but it is possible!

You may want to consult Chainfire, but i have an idea, flash stock ROM via Odin and check update bootloader, but double check with a senior developer first as I don't want to be responsible for a bricked device. Have you tried flashing with Odin?? Without bootloader update?? And starting again??

nah, it was for i9300 model and i didnt success in flashing it. Got error at pc odin, and flashed stock LH1 firmware.
atleast i'm able to flash everything, sucks that if i will need to take phone to samsung service, it will be without warranty
All models are I9300 mate (American, far east, Asian and European) all the same model, as Lithuania is in Europe, you should be flashing i9300XXLH3 not ZNBLH3, that's for china! Download I9300XXLH3 and try flashing that!

Likely you may have stuffed up your partition. Have you got the correct pit file? Flashing it should fix your problem.

By the look of that screenshot you have absolutely no idea what you are doing and I would suggest selling your S3 for an iPhone dude.
You are now trying to flash i9000 firmware onto your S3!!
Seriously mate, you are really going to brick your device hard if you don't double check what you are flashing.
You need firmware intended for GT-i9300 (That is if you are usng the international version of the S3)
Get yourself the appropriate .pit file and firmware intended for your phone and flash through Odin.
Good luck and TAKE YOR TIME
can upload to me a pit file to my stock rom 4.1.1 I9300XXDLID, to open on odin & put this file in pit case

Plug your phone into the computer using the usb and let windows find your drivers. Then make sure (above all) that you have enabled USB degugging. It will always fail if you don't. I use kingo and I have a Sprint Mega as well and it took about 2-3 mins for kingo to root it. I kept it stock because I haven't seen any roms or recovery that I'm sure will work right now but I was able to remove all the crappy bloatware off.

I see a lot out there too but I'm leery on trying any out only because I use this phone as my daily driver and can't mess it up right now. I might dedicate some time this weekend to trying out CM11. I'll let you know if it works.

Just tried slimkat. Failed... I think they all will. If you have any luck let me know.

Cm11 failed as well as aokp. Think we're boned until someone or us ports for our device.

Kingo Root SUCKS....does nothing but an endless cycle of checking root status and rebooting my phone. There HAS to be a better solution!

Is there an Odin root method?

I'm not aware of one for that version. Kingo updates pretty often so I'm waiting.

Ok so I have to Odin back to MK1. Is there a rooted tar file for it or just the two step process

[HOW-TO] Extract the signed PIT for your GS4 (i337, i545, i9505)

To extract the signed PIT file for use with Odin/Heimdall or anything else for the Galaxy S4 (SCH-1545, SGH-1337 and related Qualcomm variant S4's) first root your S4 then download terminal emulator.
Open terminal emulator and type the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/sch1545.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
If you happen to have a pit file from a factory image you can compare the md5's. They should match, see attached image.

This is just one of those things if you have to ask, it isn't meant for you.

Can I do these commands on adb?
Subscribed!!
Edit: After a few tries I finally got it to work; how big should the file be? Mine is 4.53kb

4,640÷8 = 580
4,640÷1,024 = 4.53125 = ~4.53kb
Yep. Should be 4.53 but make sure by using md5sums

Thanks; I did it on a custom rom (Echoe) but when I get out of work I'll check everything out in more detail
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Ran md5checker then realized I don't have that rom zip file on my phone any more so I checked to see if I still had it on my pc but I didn't. I do have the update for that rom and gonna flash it hopefully in the next couple of days and try this again.
What would happen if I flashed the pit file I created and Odin recognized it as having the wrong md5 #?

Dont flash a pit file ever unless your close to bricked. I just thought this was good info for people to know. What was rhe md5?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah I figured instead of the stock MDK pit file when I'm faced with that I'll try the one I created with this method. I hope you can see it but here is the md5 for my created pit file

If you look at the image I uploaded in the OP, you'll notice that one of the files is the pit file from an odin factory tar, and the md5 value for the pit you created is exactly the same as the values in in the pic. You did it right.

Good work here
How would I go about finding the right bs= count = skip= numbers for an AT&T Galaxy S4-ZOOM SM-C105a Lte camera/phone it has the dual core exynos 4212 chip
This phone really needs some love from the devs It has root available but that's it, no custom recovery
so I've decided I'm going to have to start learning more of this for myself but before I delve in to deep I need info such as this so as to be able to restore when .not if I f - it all up A .pit file would be an essential escpecialy since there is not even a stock firmware image available from either AT&T or Samsung even almost 2 years after production This is the first Samsung phone I've ever Known of to not have an available stock firmware solution let alone anything custom
Sorry about the Rant can you point me in the right direction I have preformed full dd dumps of two of these phones both on 4.3 MJ2 firmware but as i stated I can only access adb from a running OS as there is no custom recovery available so even there I'm not 100% comfortable that I could restore from any and every scenario Again please help
Thanks in advance
