So in my attempt to flash a custom lollipop rom,I accidently flashed the one for SM-G900A. Now my device doesn't boot at all. When connected to my PC,it shows up with the QHSUSB_BULK driver. From my understanding from what I've researched,I should be able to unbrick it by flashing a debricking image to a micro sd card,but I couldn't find one for this phone. Can someone with a working device possibly make a debrick image for me?

I just tried that but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I renamed the file to .img,flashed using win32diskimager,put it in the phone,help volume down + home + power but nothing is happening.
Its possible that the battery could be dead since it was low last I checked and it doesn't appear to be charging anymore since the brick. Not entirely sure if that has anything to do with this but I'm pretty desperate. I'll try borrowing a battery from another s5 tomorrow.
Does the sd card size matter? I used an 8gb one when I tried but I've seen a few post saying it has to be 16gb.
Maybe. Those kinds of things can be really specific. I haven't had to do that kind of thing personally, have just read in to it.
Well I was planning on buying a new micro sd card anyway,so I just ordered a 64gb samsung micro sd on amazon. I got one day shipping on it so I'll update the results tomorrow.
Still nothing. Flashed the img to the sd card,put it in the phone,held Vol Down + Home + Power,nothing. Also tried Vol Up and even tried a USB jig,nothing is happening. Anything else I can do or will I have to buy a new phone? Also is it possible that the img is somehow incompatible because of kernels or bootloader versions?
Is there any company I could send this to to jtag it? It sounds like that might be my only option at this point.

Please fogive me for the noobish question. I've read several threads and followed all the steps in the wiki andam still having problems.
My 6800 locked up so I hit the reset button. The phone quickly flashed "No image file!" and then went to the red-green-blue screen.
As per the wiki, I downloaded the appropriate ROM image and proceeded to follow the directions. Unfortuately, when I attach the phone to the USB port, Windows reports it as an "unknown device". I ran titan_excitbl.exe and I get an error that is can not open the USB port.
My finace has the same phone and her phone is recognized by my computer just fine.
So I decided to try the micro SD method. My laptop does not have a micro SD reader so I used her phone (attached to my laptop) to copy/rename the .nbh file to the mico SD card. (I am hoping that the factory format of the card is already FAT32). I put the card in my phone, hit POWER-CAMERA-RESET and still the same... "No image found!" and then the tr-bar screen.
The screen reads (in the red bar):
TITA100
SPL-1.04.0000
and reads (in the white bar):
Serial (will change to USB when I plug the USB cable in)
Also, then connected to power, the power/chargin light does not come on and pressing/holding the power button does nothing.
HELP! PLEASE!
Thanks!
Joe
Don't assume it has the right format. Make sure it is not a high density card as well and less than or equal to 2gig and format it per the wiki and then put the NBH file back on there. I would check to see if that phone will work with any USB on other computers. It might be a hardware problem.
the device won't recognise on any of my three pc's. as for the card, it's the factory 512mb that came with the phone. still trying to get my hands on a micro sd reader.
htc seems to think it's a hw problem but i'm hoping someone here is familiar with the issue and has some additional insight.

Again, forgive my ignorance as I am an IT guy, but when it comes to phones, I'm a total newb. I extracted the .nbh file from 3.56.651.0 - (Radio 3.42.02) that was found linked on the wiki for flashing to the factory Sprint ROM.
Given the info I listed in my orginal post, if this was the wrong file to use, PLEASE let me know.
I picked up a micro SD adapter tonight found out that the factory installed card is formatted as FAT. So I reformatted it as FAT32, copied/renamed the image file once again and WHALAH! It loaded the image and re-flashed the ROM.
Now the new problem...
It still only boots to the tri-bar screen but now is says:
TITA100
SPL-2.07.000
CPLD-9
Ok, so obviously something new took as the information is now different. But what am I missing?
Thanks!... again!
Joe
*** UPDATE ***
Ok, I flashed it once more and this time it boots and appears to be working! It took FORVER to get past the Windows Moble 6.1 splash screen but so far so good.
Thank you!!
sounds like your bootloader is whacked, but with the USB not working it might be hard to get a good one on there. I would recommend nueSPL-2.47 but I am not sure if there is a NBH file to do it from the SD card or not. You might want to search around and update the bootloader. Also make sure that you take the SD card out once it has updated the phone and it resets. I think it is take it back and get another phone time.
I added an update to my post above... I got it working. For whatever reason (I'm sure there is one, I just don't know what it is, lol) I had to run the flash twice. After the second time, it booted right up
Now being an IT geek, all this "cooking" stuff has perked my curiosity. I'm going to try to flash this thing with one of the custom ROMs that seem to be pretty popular

Hey,
i bought a used Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G 16GB on the german ebay market.
When it arrives i wondered about the microSD Slot and that it has still Android Version 3.0.1.
When i try to enter the recovery i only have the Donwloading Mode and (i think) kind of Fastboot.(Just a icon of USB)
Unfortunately i also have some kind of Display failure right in the middle of the display. It gets sometime bigger, depending on how it is held.
But most i wonder about the microSD Slot, i tried it but nothing happend. But i am also not sure if i used it right.
So my Question is, what kind/version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 do i have and can i root and update this version to 3.1. And of course how can i use the microSD Slot.
The Sattings say:
Modelnumber: GT-P7500
Android-Version: 3.0.1
Baseband version: P7500BUKD9
Kernel version: 2.6.36.3
Build number: HRI83.279 P7500BUKD9
Thanks in advance
Interesting! We've seen pictures of that model, but never seen released. Some guy from Eastern Europe was showing it. Romania, or Slovakia? Your problem seems moisture under screen. Search the threads. Some say you should put in a refrigerator, but I'm not sure whether it was a joke.
Probably u got the demo version. And u r so lucky if get sd card works!
Sent from my GT-P7510
Hey, thanks for the answers.
Hmm, i think its too risky to put it in the refrigerator. That may kill the battery.
In some way it is great to have this device but aktually it sucks i just wanted a working version of the GT .
In one thread here someone made a system dump of a demo tap, he also says that he has the HRI83.279 P7500BUKD9 but without the microSD Slot. I am wondering why they put it on the device, its a bit confusing. How can i make such a System dump without any recovery? i only have the downloading mode and this Fastboot mode.
Do you think i can root the device and but 3.1 on it. And if so, which Firmware is the right? Do you think it has some other harware specs than the "normal" GT?
...
... (ot maybe it's the same tab 5thelement had? )
I think you should be fine with either...
KG7
KG9
XI1
They all and a few older ones work on the P7500 tab. Not sure about the SD though.
So wish me luck with rooting & Updating
Looks like 5thelement was right. There is an SD card slot....
Hey, flashing seems to be not that easy. I followed the Instructions and also Odin says flashing cwm was successful but i still just have the two options Fastboot and Donwload mode when i try to enter recovery. That sucks. Maybe i need some other / newer Bootload (noob talking)?
One thing i noticed when holding down power and vol down. Sometimes i get in a "force uploading" mode? Does that mean anything?
Thanks in advance
That is weird, it seems that i have the same bootloader like the GT 10.1v. I saw it in a video.
When I enter the Bootloader, the version says "Unknown"
Do you have any idea how i can upgrade it?
Uhh damn, seems that i have done ****. I flashed the recovery, system and boot via fastboot. For recovery i took cwm for boot and system i took the ones from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128659
What i did:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery ...
boot ...
system ...
also tried nvflash but also no good news.
Now it won't boot any longer, can anyone help?
I still have a unkown bootloader version on my tab. Maybe this is the reason and it has to be updated, do anybody know where to get such?
Can anybody please help me?

After 5 hours of flashing, reflashing and flashing i got KI1 working on the tab.
I have contacted the german samsung support and asked for the microSD Slot. Lets see what they tell me. Until now i haven't got it working. I tried it with a 4 GB MBR FAT32 microSD Stick, any idea how i shall try it.
As soon as i finish a video i will post it here
Some prototype devices had a microsd slot, it is a known fact, there are many videos on youtube that prove it.
Production devices don't have it.
It seems that the OP has managed to buy a prototype device.

Sell it to 5thElement so he will have a proof for his statement.
Jokes aside,
you can sell it in ebay for more price(as it is a rare device) if you get the SD card working and buy a normal one for yourself.

Yeah i have also thought about this, but i am not sure if this is so easy. I am not very expirienced in such things. I think the first thing i have to check is if the slot is recognized by the kernel. Maybe some drivers are missing. Or maybe the sd slot just isnt mounted , that would be great. Does anyone have an example code of an android device mounting a sd card while running?
I tested the slot already with a fat card bur it seems not to work
So i am done with this ****, unfortunatly i noticed that with the retail Rom the GPS is not working.
I am not developer enough to fix this things. I even contacted the german Samsung Support and ask if they have any information. But it seems that the guys sitting there have no idea. They even answered that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not have a SIM Slot.
I am now selling the device on the german ebay market. Maybe someone gets the MicroSD Slot running.
Hey guys, big n00b here. I'll admit, I made a very fatal and somewhat idiotic mistake... ended up flashing a bad rom (illusions) to my phone. Unfortunately, after rebooting to test it, the phone completely stopped booting. Can't get into download or recovery mode. Does NOTHING when power is held. I have tried the microSD fix.. went out and got a 16GB card... no luck. This is why I think the bootloader is screwed up. I tried making a USB jig and that didn't work either... I have one coming in the mail, but that's going to be too long to wait.
My computer (running ubuntu by the way) detects the phone:
"Bus 003 Device 069: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)"
from lsusb.
Guys, PLEASE tell me that we can fix it ... without JTAG or replacing the EMMC... both of those are a bit too much. Would rather just say I spilled pop on it...
I have nearly lost all hope because NOTHING has worked. It isn't showing signs of life... Is there hope?
Is it possible that I didn't try the microSD fix enough times? I mean, I read that you may have to do the write a few times... which I did... :/

There is a guy over on android forums named shappypenguin, he may or may not be on XDA, but he has done magic on supposedly hard bricked phones. The fact that your computer recognizes the phone is a good thing. Does the phone go into download mode? If so, try downloading ODIN. It's literally a phone saver.

No lol, I'm not sure. I have a 16 GB Class 10 card and my phone is 16GB. I have tried multiple images and multiple different guides. I THINK the phone is trying to use the card... but not working for some reason.
Like I said, I have tried a lot of images... but I have no reliable way to confirm if they are the EXACT one I need.
One of the ones It tried was called debrick_sph_l710... but it doesn't seem to work.
To clarify, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 on the Sprint network. Model SPH-L710.
I can keep trying the microSD...
Oh ok, I only know it should work on i9300. Not sure if it does for your model, you might get better help asking in your device specific forum.
Forgive me for bumping this early, but I have an expensive paperweight.
Is there any hope? Or will this require JTAG...?

What version of Android were you running before you bricked it? It probably doesn't work because you aren't using the correct version.

The rooted (and working) version was 4.4.2. Yes, this happened due to a incorrect version for the phone being flashed.
Ah, that explains why (I meant that it didn't work because you weren't using the correct version of your debrick image), click on the link below, write the debrick file to your SD card, and it should work.

My issue is that none of the images work or there is just something more to this.At first my pc recognized my phone when i plugged it in (qualcomm hs-usb) but now it's not showing up anymore.
The phone just sits there and vibrates all with the white line like it wants to boot but something is stopping it.
Jtag is my last option as i wanna try and fix it myself.

Have you tried a battery pull then put it back in and try the 3 button Recovery combo? Atleast you have some life in the device so its not hard bricked.
I've tried everything.If it was soft bricked at least I would get into download mode.But that's all the phone does is vibrate.I just feel like I'm missing something.
It won't get recognised by my PC unless the memory card is out and that's weird.It takes about 5 minutes to pop up in device manager as Qualcomm hs-usb 9008(idk) and as soon as I try the button combo it disappears

Ok I will keep reading the threads. Have you tried with the 128gb img file on the ext sd card to start the device in download mode ( all three buttons) as opposed to just pushing the power button ? Red that somewhere. I pick up bits and pieces here and there, sooner or later maybe we will find the missing part.
Have you tried to use a USB jig to boot into download mode ? You can you buy them on ebay for $10 or here is video on how to make one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKRrTZayRxU or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0 it is a different device but the concept is the same.
I was thinking of buying one the other day. Maybe just maybe one a button is not working. I'll order the jig tonight. Or make one this weekend
Later I'm going to swap motherboards and see if it's a button that's causing my problems.
Bless you bro and thank you for all your help

Hi.
Yesterday I've recived my ordered Vontar. I was not a fan of the system so i changed it via sd card. I've done it a couple of times with different ones but it something strange happened. Now, when i turn on this device with a 'reset' button and a sd card in it, it won't show 'updating' screen. In fact, I can't even go to 'apply update from ext' - the 7z file won't show under this option. But, I can install TWRP from Slimbox therad and wipe all. Also i tried to 'install' img file via TWRP but in the end it show 'System not installed'. I checked all the comments in this section but i found no answers. I think that's the only place for me to receive help because i was searching the web for 5 hours and now i'm out of ideas. I'm using custom roms on my phone since 2015 but this tv boxes are new to me.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I've recived my ordered Vontar. I was not a fan of the system so i changed it via sd card. I've done it a couple of times with different ones but it something strange happened. Now, when i turn on this device with a 'reset' button and a sd card in it, it won't show 'updating' screen. In fact, I can't even go to 'apply update from ext' - the 7z file won't show under this option. But, I can install TWRP from Slimbox therad and wipe all. Also i tried to 'install' img file via TWRP but in the end it show 'System not installed'. I checked all the comments in this section but i found no answers. I think that's the only place for me to receive help because i was searching the web for 5 hours and now i'm out of ideas. I'm using custom roms on my phone since 2015 but this tv boxes are new to me.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

This usually indicate that either the bootloader is not compatible, The DTB dosnt have the right gpio pins assigned to the reset button making it non functional among other reasons, i Strongly advise against using an SD card to try new firmwares as you can end up in a situation like this where your box is semi broken with no way to get out of it, you should buy/obtain a USB A Male to USB A Male Cable & Use USB Burning Tool As This Is How to Recover From a Bad Flash & Not 100% Compatible Firmwares and even recover a "Bricked Box" that looks like it wont even power on (no LED or output to TV), Been Using This Method For Years And Havent Bricked A Box Beyond Repair Yet

Thanks for an advice. Yesterday i was very scared because of this situation. I thought that i wasted about 50$ but now i'm more chilled. Somewhere i've read that Vontar is basically the same as for example as HK1 but installing it's OS was not a great idea (I've done similar things on my Huawei G620s with the similar phone OS). I will try the USB method and reply the result. My ordered cable will be in a few days. Again, thanks for a reply. This thread could be useful if someone will have the same problem like me.

Like You said. Two minutes and Vontar is running a new OS without any problems. My SD card will come back to my car as a navigation. Thank You.
