Hello, I recently received an update from ATT and it soft bricked my device. Now I'm bootlooping and I've been looking for a NE7 stock build to flash through odin. Does anyone have or know where I can find this file?

Hey everyone...
I unrooted and unlagfixed my phone tonight before I applied the official Sansung OTA update for my Vibrant. After I applied the update, MY PHONE SOFTBRICKED.
I downloaded Odin but I can't find the stock firmware... anywhere. I found links here that had links to the firmware but they were both bad links. I really wanna get this phone up and running again...
I don't know how to use Odin and I don't have the firmware to restore the device... could someone PLEEEEEEEEASE help me? I appreciate it in advance...

Hi.ive got a question about downgradeing my sgs2.Im currently running an unofficial 2.3.4 XXKG6 rooted in my phone and now samsung have released the official XXKG5 via kies in poland flashable through odin as im sure you all know.Im keen to try it to see what it has to offer.Ive flashed before many times within 2.3.3 so didnt need the pit file but needed it to jump to 2.3.4 and now here is the problem.Ive never back-flashed or downgraded so im not sure if i need the pit file or not even though im already on 2.3.4 and im worried about bricking my phone.if anyone has the answer weather i need it or not it would be appreciated.thanks.
if you flash by odin it will be ok.
Hello,
I have a international galaxy s3, which after getting repaired by a local shop, they put in a 'KOR' version of the software. So I need to revert back to my official country's software because it wont let me upgrade past 4.0.4 because of different CSC . I downloaded the official software and will flash through odin.
I wanted to ask, if someone would kindly tell me, that if I flash the official samsung software 4.1.2 for my country onto my phone, the binary count increases yes, but will my status of my phone be modified or it will be official? Like will I be able to upgrade OTA or kies or I am stuck with Odin flashing?
I am on a non rooted 4.0.4 software with binary count 2 if that matters.
The attachment shows the error kies gives me. I know what to flash on my phone. I just need to know if my status will be modified or not because currently its not
Thank you!
you'll be able to update OTA as long as you're not rooted
Hi,
I have an omate 4GB/512MB (RAM) 1900MHz watch and have accidently bricked it while trying to install TWRP. Is it possible for someone to link me their stock firmware such that I can unbrick my device.
-----------------EDIT----------------------
In addition to the firmware, I also need the scatter file in order to flash
Thanks
Hi guys,
I need firmware 4.1.1 for the samsung S III I9300, I literally spent all day yesterday looking and found several links but they were all hotfile links that are obv. dead.
The phone is currently locked to o2 UK not sure if I need the firmware to be of the same carrier..?
I want to flash the firmware via ODIN so then I can unlock the bootloader myself and then use the 'secret code' to network unlock in order to flash the latest Lineage..
Please help..pulling my hair out!!!!!
Thanks in advance
The bootloader was never locked for this phone.
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.

Someone badly misinformed you. If your phone is locked to o2 you must flash o2 firmware. Once the simlock is off you can flash any firmware.
If you have upgraded to 4.3 you cannot unlock the sim lock. There is no secret code. It was done by hex editing a file but is obsolete on 4.3.
If you are rooting to flash lineage you root via chainfire and odin, flash a custom recovery via odin and then flash lineage from the custom recovery you flashed.
If you want simlock off and you're on 4.3 you have to pay for it. Downgrading isn't possible unless you have a copy of your efs from 4.1.1.
