[Q] Hard Brick! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hi, I have hard bricked my sprint Note 3 . It will not boot into recovery or download mode. I have rooted and flashed many roms to many phones in the past. Guess I missed a step somewhere. I have found a couple solutions to this, but does anyone here have a confirmed fix??? Or maybe a link to a thread on this already thanks a bunch, any help is appreciated! :good:

Update: i have found a "unbrick" image for the sm-n900p. currently downloading and writing to microsd card. hopefully this is what i need. iv tried googling a fix for this, the image im downloading is sorta out of date ( posted February of this year). maybe someone here has a up to date unbrick image. I was on the latest stock rom and firmware as of October 28th 2014. The phone does charge while off. But only boots to sprint yellow logo screen.

You have hope because you are not hard bricked. Your soft bricked. If you were hard bricked the phone wouldn't turn on at all as if there was no battery in it. Can you get to a recovery or download mode?

So the flash was successful, but the phone still will not boot past the sprint logo screen. I gave it a good 10 minutes to boot up.

So now take the over the air update so it will get your bootloader, modem, and kernel to 4.4.4 then you can install a custom recovery and flash any 4.4+ rom.

ODIN. Make sure you use the .tar image appropriate for the base that you were on.

Just make sure you use the mdk tar file. There's instructions in that thread as well. Make sure you root it soon after restoring it and freeze SDM with Titanium Backup asap. Don't want to lose that boot loader

Well I'm not really sure what your saying... I think you mean recovery?
As far as recoveries your choices are TWRP or a version of CWM.
Odin is just the tool we primarily use to flash stock firmwares back on our phones as well as certain recoveries like Philz (cwm) .
I'd say just load up the MDK stock firmware using odin.
Root the phone.
Freeze SDM
Then for sake of easiness use ROM manager or Goo from the play store to install your recovery.

Ok as long as you have the correct tar file that goes with your i9505 s4 you'll be good. You can still root using that root method and install a custom recovery.
I'm not familiar with your phone model and the builds , tar files. So just make sure your flashing the right one in odin.
If you have any doubt find the forums on here specifically for your phone and ask someone. Please.
Try switching out your USB cable and also make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed.

Stuck at Samsung Boot Screen after wiping Internal Storage

Device: Rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 (MDK).
1. Wiped/Formatted internal storage via TWRP
2. Rebooted back into Recovery
3. Flashed new ROM
4. Flashed GAPPS
5. Rebooted phone and setup new ROM.
6. Worked great.
7. Rebooted phone
8. Stuck on Samsung Custom Screen
I'm able to boot back into recovery, just not sure what to do now. This happens every time no matter what ROM I flash. I have a feeling I effed something up by wiping internal storage. Just need to know how to fix. Thank you very much in advance.

If nothing you've tried so far has gotten you past this issue have you tried using Odin no wipe to start over?
Also what ROMs have you tried? Have you tried any custom kernels?
Is your recovery up to date?

I thought ODIN No-Wipe was for non-MDK?

I haven't tried custom kernels, nor do I know if TWRP is up to date. I'll check those out, thank you.

No Odin is for all our S4's no matter what build. Here are the MDK files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289325
I'd say first though to update your recovery. Then I always use KToonsez Kernel myself with every ROM I run and can say I've never had an issue . I have seen a lot of problems like yours that were kernel related and one way to test that would be to flash his kernel ( KToonsez ) after the ROM you've already tried before.

I don't think freeza 's stockish NH7 will work, it will remove the twrp recovery, and replace it with stock one. Which you cannot replace without a PC.

Can't you use freeza's rom then use Flashify the recovery or Mobile Odin Pro?
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Now you might want to reconsider going to 4.4.4. You need to read up, there is a lot of problems with this update. The main complaint is a loss of signal strength. The other problem is that the 4.4.4 backup will have personal info in it, most people will not give that up. If you can get your hands on a backup, you will have to download it to you device, move it to your sd card twrp backup file. Now once you try and restore the backup, you will end up with a md5 mismatch error. To correct this, you need to get a root type file explorer like root explorer, then go to the backup file that failed and click on it. Now delete the nandroid.md5, and click to add a file and reinstall another nandriod.md5 file where the old one was, check permissions. Ok, try the backup file again. This time the system will ignore the empty nandroid.md5 file and install the backup.

If I had twrp I would give you the back up but im running cwm
If someone would make a backup then full wipe make another back up post the clean backup he would get what he needs and you can delete and restore the one with your data its a great idea for the ones to get the full update with out having a computer
Plus ive had no luck flashing from flashify rom manger rom toolbox theres some problem thats why goo.manger does not support our phone
I haven't had any issues on 4.4.4 signals been better actually for me

Root 4.4.4 using Towelroot?

I'm curious if anyone knows how to, or has had success using Towelroot on 4.4.4 I've heard you can changing parameters of some sort, but the article was very vague.

At this time there is not a way to root 4.4.4 NH7 WITHOUT tripping KNOX !!! Towel Root, CF-Autoroot, and Kingo will all trip KNOX !!!
If there is a way to get the NC5 kernel to work on 4.4.4 then yes. But I have flashed NC5 kernel and after the Samsung screen it goes blank. Maybe someone could modify the NC5 kernel to at least boot then we could use towelroot. Then flash back to NH7.

Jon I think I found something, on this site http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2014/09/To...4-S5-and-Note3-Android-4.4.2-NF-or-Later.html . The DL's are on the bottom of the site for Sprint. Check it out !!! It appears you can root to 4.4.4 NH7 by swopping kernels without tripping KNOX !!!
I just gave it a shot, I get stuck at boot. I get the startup sound, but the screen is black. The LED is pulsing blue, but nothing happens.
Currently I am reflashing NH7 and will try it again.

Nope, no matter how I do it, I just get the black screen. I guess I am tripping Knox, oh well.

I just gave it a shot, I get stuck at boot. I get the startup sound, but the screen is black. The LED is pulsing blue, but nothing happens.
Currently I am reflashing NH7 and will try it again.

Well if you don't want to trip KNOX, you have to go back to NC5 and use Towel Root. So, here is how to do it.
First, you have to odin flash 4.4.2 NC5. Go to my thread all the info is there http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440
Now let help you out with the bumpy parts, chances are that when the device tries to boot up the first time after you flash back to NC5 it will bootloop. DON'T panic it's happened to me lots of times !!! Just pull the battery and wait a couple of minutes then reinsert. Now hold the power button, and volume up button and the menu button at the same time this will boot you into the stock recovery. Now using the volume up and down button navigate to factory reset and push the power button. This will factory reset the device and it should boot with your new NC5 4.4.2 OS. Now got back to my thread and follow the rooting part. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA i.e. PICS AND MUSIC TO YOUR PC FIRST !!!
