Good morning/afternoon/evening, all -
I recently hard-bricked my S4 trying to flash. It came up as a QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows device manager. I tried several different approaches to fix the bootloader, but eventually had to send it to a service to try to JTAG it.
He reports it still cannot boot, and has requested - from someone with a ROOTED I545 ON OC1 (do we know anyone like that?) - the following file:
Ok, you need an I545 in OC1 with root access. We need to create a dump of about 128MB. You can do this by using ADB shell and type
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump.bin bs=128 count=1000000
This will create a 128mb file on the internal storage of the phone which you can copy back to the computer and send to me.

Can anyone help me out with this? Seems simple, if I had anyone I knew locally I'd tag them.
THAAAAANKS IN ADVANCE. He's had my phone for over a week. I'm going into withdrawal.

Well, I was one, briefly.
That's terribly discouraging. I've always thought this one of the more thorough and helpful communities.

Ya a lot messed up and upgraded to OF1 thinking it was good. Post this in stang thread. Just because more traffic. I'm on mdk or I would gladly do it for you. But he shouldn't need any of that for a jtag. Actually I'll post it on my thread for you to try and get things moving faster. I know how it feels to be without my precious lol.

You rock, man. Thanks. If this doesn't work, then it's "a hardware problem" and I need to scare up a new one.
At least if it's "a hardware problem," I can feel a little better about hosing the poor thing - it was just it's time to go. :crying::crying:

Take it from someone who worked on this device for a long time. SD Card Debrick does not not work on anything above NC5. We have all tried many times. Looks like beginning with the NK1, SBL1 no longer searches for the SD Card as a bootable device.

Should ask jtag guy to dump imem and pbl while he's in there

Will be OF1 stock - but at least it's not a brick!
I know this is an older post...
I'm trying to find the same I545 OF1 adb dump to use for jtag.
I know the sdcard debrick does not work with OF1, and I already tried injecting the single bootloader partitions that are in the firmware without success.
I'm hoping the dump will solve my issue because of the PGPT, MD5 , MBR or other partitions that may be corrupted.
I am not interested in the efs /MEID..
Thanks!

Return to stock, no PC required!
Safe to return to store, no root left over, 0 flash counter.
Do not do this with low battery!
This is for those that have a broken USB port.
Plug it in if your charger works, or borrow/buy a battery with full charge.
1. Download Mobile Odin Lite (Download) or Pro (Market)
If using Lite then install this APK next - (i777 Base) - (i9100 Base)
2. Download and copy to device - I777UCKH7.tar - 502mb!
Check MD5: 6da05426d720ab7a1d068b81a27a6d86
3. Open Mobile Odin > select Open File... > I777UCKH7.tar
4. Scroll down to FLASH FIRMWARE
It will now reboot, wait a few minutes...

Stock AT&T Gingerbread, we do not have official ICS yet.
Mobile-Odin basically uses all the same files but its already in the .tar so no need to split them up.

Yes you can use KIES for updating, if there ever is one in the phone's lifetime.
This is for the AT&T Galaxy S2 - i777, just making sure you have the same one.
Flashing this on International gs2 i9100 can probably do some horrible things to your phone.

When you open and run mobile Odin it says it never flashes boot loaders. And looking at the screenshots you will not see anything about boot loaders in it either. I have used mobile Odin in the past when flashing i9100 rooms and didn't want the boot loaders. So NO it won't flash boot loaders ever.

2.Basic ADB commands to get you buggin!
3.Basic Fastboot commands to get you booting!
4.Installing Drivers!

Okey so in the new update (1.1) I've made it so i can specify what the download link is for both cwm and twrp.
All you guys need to do is let me know when there is a newer version!

Not just your tool that ends in a bootloop, the n5 bootloader actually has some faults, I was thinking of making a patched bootloader for the device, but due to noone having a bricked device i cannot

So do I have to do something to fix the bootloop issue? Also why is that so? You need to have a bricked phone before you could make a patched bootloader.

wipe data factory reset(data, dalvik and cache)
that fixes the bootloop!
and modifying the bootloader is quite risky, if you do something wrong it could fail to write, fastboot and adb can fail to operate, cauld cause major issues that are un repairable without riffbox etc.. and even sometimes that doesnt work...
looks good, but bugs as above..

Do we need 20 toolkits doing the same stuff? People need to learn what they are doing. With the rise of kits there is a rise in bricked phones for stupid reasons. People flashing cm kernels on non cm roms because they have no idea.

That's funny. So you revived a 4 month old Dead Thread for what?? So we could hear your useless stupid rants about a contribution that someone wanted to make, an area which you have failed to achieve. If people don't read and know what they are doing then that is their fault, not someone who wanted to learn and or grow his skills by creating a toolkit. Put your skills to something useful and release something of your own, don't go being critical trying to revive old threads for no reason; and complaining about toolkits all over various Nexus 5 threads. Grow Up!
So Verizon has dropped the newest firmware upgrade. I would like to upgrade, but I am suspicious that like all other firmware upgrades, it will cause me to lose root. The Firmware I am talking about it PDA:NK1 / PHONE:NK1 / CSC:NK1 (VZW). I am currently on "NG6" and was forced to use xposed framework plus wanam exposed to achieve device stability. Supposedly, the new firmware is much more stable, and I am hoping that those apps/mods will not be required to achieve stability with it. However, root access is essential to everything I do on the phone, and currently, I have found no posts regarding rooting the device post NK1 upgrade. Please feel free to enlighten me. Thanks in advance!
I do now see that there is a thread at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613 , but It just doesn't give me enough confidence to go through with it. The user hasn't tested it on all Verizon versions of the phone and I REALLY don't want to lose root or a lot of data...plus safestrap is sketchy at best...

Tried and tested by many S4 users.
And Safestrap is used by 90% of the S4 users here on xda.
It may not be a true recovery that allows for kernel flashing but it beats staying full stock.
I commend these guys for giving us the options we have.

I don't use the new iterations that have popped up recently.
It doesn't bother me to flash on my stock side so I use 3.72 version that hashcode put out himself.
If you want slots I would post in the safestrap thread though.
I'm mobile right now but can get you a link to hashcode's 3.72 as soon as I can.

Don't know if there is a SS 3.72 or 3.73 that allows slots...but being able to flash on slots is incredibly important to me as I have clients....that only use stock roms, so I have to quickly be able to go into the "regular" crappy rom and give them specific step by step instructions over the phone. Also, I have yet to find a custom rom that can compete with the battery life supplied by the Verizon stock rom. I am all ears for one that does, but in my experience, at best, I may get half the battery life of the "stock but modified rom."
I tried that root method yesterday from ng6 -> nk1 and it worked without a hitch!
Warning this is engboot, meaning its not made to be used on day to day basis you may run into some issues. Hopefully we can fix them as we go!
Also do not update supersu through playstore untill we are for sure that it wont mess anything up
Notice from @Chainfire:
Chainfire said:
I'm just going to leave this here...
SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
You will need:
- Engineering boot images
- Patched version of Odin3 (only AT&T models ?)
- Extract files, and run root.bat with adb on the path
This version of SuperSU is not officially supported. I recommend against updating the APK from the Play Store, or otherwise updating the binaries, unless someone knowledgable has tried before you and confirmed it worked.
If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

First of all thanks to @Chainfire for helping achieve su and @princecomsy for giving me the odin file and engboot
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, same goes for everyone that helped.
First file you will need is here http://d-h.st/gsDA
This is special Odin to bypass SHA-256 made by Princecosmy
Second file you will need is
G935A http://d-h.st/lQY8
G930A http://d-h.st/aK2A
This is the engboot. Using @billas since its already uploaded.
Basically once you have these two files open up the odin included and place the .tar in the ap section should only take a few seconds to flash.
After you are back up download SuperSU made for our phone from here https://download.chainfire.eu/968/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
Extract the files to a folder.
Here it may get a bit tricky for some.
Go to your adb install location. Open a command window where your adb files are located.
Change the directory to your supersu folder location from earlier, and run the root.bat from the cmd.
I am not very good at instructions as this is my first time doing anything like this.
For the bounty id prefer if you just donate to https://secure.savethechildren.org/....C01C/Global_Action_Fund/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp
Makes more of a lasting impact then what i could do with any of it.
Again thank you to everyone who helped!
We made it fam!
If you are successful after rooting and can give better instructions please let me know!
Thanks a lot.....you guys are awesome...
Thanks! I'll be trying this for T-Mobile varient. But can someone please mirror the Speedyshare links? I can't download them for some reason. Popup blockers perhaps?

Will this work for the ATT S7 Edge? When you say not to use on day to day basis, do you do root stuff then revert back to regular kernel?

You can use it on a day to day basis. Dont try going back it will remove what you have done. The issues if there are any are minor.
And yes it is for ATT S7 edge.
I have a few questions here.
What exactly is going on with this root process? Is it installing a recovery? Will this trip knox? I assume Samsung Pay won't work anymore? Can we finally used xposed? If so, which version?
How can one revert if we felt the need to?
I feel so sorry for @br3w3r for having to deal with all of the Q&A after all of this hard work. LOL! But seriously, thanks for all of this.

Will our phones lag? I read on another thread that engboot causes our phone to lag.

The email is for @princecomsy, he is going to get it then split with me. Chainfire said he did not want bounty. Even though i feel he deserves it.
Everyone slowwwww down. Root was just established. As for knox, Verizon, and any other questions hold tight. I'm installing it on my Verizon s7 now

I'll be installing soon too. But I'm doing something first.
While downloading G935TUVS3APD8_G935TTMB3APD8_TMB firmware (just in case) I'm also backing everything up with Smart Switch first. Just in case.

So far I have permissive selinux and dm-verity is disabled. We CAN have root if we can get odin to accept a custom system img. I need some samsung modders to PM me so we can figure something out. Our phones have secure download so I cant get a custom system image installed but once we get that we have root.
Also this seems to add VoLTE support to my sprint model(calling+ i believe sprint calls it)

Good to see you here me2151,
With your dirtysanta, the whole v20 lines were able to achieve root!
Hope you get the support from other devs and achieve the root for the note 8, too!
Cheers ??
Let the fun Begin! Can't help until I get my n8.... But this is gonna be worth it!
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
Indeed, glad to see you on the Note side! Even with everyone telling you there was no way to get root on the V20, you certainly proved them wrong with style. ?
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk
Good stuff, I'll be watching this thread closely and wish you good luck in your efforts!
I figure avoiding any updates would be a good idea until root is found, correct? In case they update bootloader and that patches whatever bugs would be used to get root.
Thank you for trying to get root on the snapdragon Note 8!

At the moment its possible to use Odin on stock files to revert the firmware so updates (should) be fine.
I'd offer to be a tester for you. Very familiar with ODIN, ADB/Fastboot etc. It does not seem you need testers so I won't PM you.
Good luck and I'm sure with all the great minds here, you'll get it. Good initial progress.

Port the S8 Snapdragon root method altogether... It limits battery capacity to 80%. Need to find a better permanent solution
We need leaks.

Not trying to port their method but yes. Battery is still limited. Best bet would be a debug bl leak like note7.
Has anyone started a bounty yet? And if so can i get a link to it please

Would the S8+ root work on the note 8? They're so similar that I would think so unless it has something to do with the RAM.
Edit: never mind. I just seen that it was already being discussed.

It should work. We just need to find someone with access to the files. Currently have my Snapdragon Galaxy s8 rooted with sampwn and while 80% limit does suck. The advantages of having root and xposed are well worth it imo.

Sampwn is the easy way of doing things. it required access to a VERY special eng firmware. The access I have currently is part of what they have. Theirs had the su binary preinstalled into system that allowed them to do sampwn. Mine doesnt. But... At this time i literally only need to remount system to read write and we win.
I honestly have not been working on it because I am in FL and we were just hit with a hurricane. I now have my power back though so I am going to start back up on gaining access to system. Once again anyone who can work on exploits please PM me.

First off hope you and your fam are okay. I'm in Houston and just went through the same 2 weeks ago but Florida looks alot worse.... I'm glad we have someone like you looking into this. I followed the gs8 thread daily and I remember reading that they also had trouble getting system to mount but eventually they got it. Maybe we can have one of those devs swing by here and lead you in the right direction. With the announcement of the new iPhone our Note 8 look better then ever lol and root would be a cherry on top. Please keep up the good fight!

I got most of my info from them. Thats how im so far. The way they were able to mount system was because of the Firmware they were using i believe

Oh I see. Awesome! Glad they are helping out. So your trying to get system to mount to install SU binary that came preinstalled with their firmware? Is a firmware like theirs available for our Notes to just get SU and then maybe revert back to a more stable firmware with flash fire?
