[HARD BRICK Fixed] - I9205 Make your debrick.img and have it on extSdCard by security

ValenteL · Jan 7, 2014

First of all see the case from @shazzl - HERE. Brick i9205 solved.

We must have our debrick.img on extSdCard to caution if we brick our phone. This is made from pit.file like we see on updater_script from the .zip (partition mmcblk0).

Download the .zip attached, flash it in your preferred recovery (CWM or TWRP) and it will create the dump file needed for this debrick method from @KAsp3rd See it HERE. Thanks @[B]KAsp3rd[/B]

Once you have flashed it you will find a file called debrick.img on your internal sdcard. It should be 128MB in size. Copy it to extSdCard and to Your Pc.

For a I9205 bricked We can use the method from @KAsp3rd, used by @shazzl. Thanks by Your guide.

I created already my Sdcard prepared by Win32DiskImager from Windows option.

See also THIS help from @DocHoliday77. Thanks @DocHoliday77.
Replace T999 by Your phone name.

Make that, take care.

PS: If You upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3 make new debrick.img. The contents inside pit.file can have differences.

EDIT: New HARD BRICK fixed on one Note 3 N9005 4.4.2 Kitkat. Whit success, see it HERE.

It's simple.
- Put the .zip on Sdcard
- By custom recovery flash it.
- You have on internal Sdcard the debrick.img file.
- Copy it to extSdCard to be safe.

It's all.

Just flash the zip file from recovery. That's all you need to do. Then use windiskimage to write the image to a sdcard.

I am still confused then as i thought you use the I9200-Partial_Sys_Dump_for_debrick or I9205-Partial_Sys_Dump_for_debrick to flash with the recovery to get the debrick.img file, but how do you make these I9200-Partial_Sys_Dump_for_debrick or I9205-Partial_Sys_Dump_for_debrick files that have this META-INF folder (with the update-binary and updater-script are in) and dd file inside the zip file, in my case for the i527m..thanks. :good:

Silesh.Nair · Feb 8, 2014

pit file location ( mmcblk0 ) is the same for all samsung phones afaik.

Don't get confused by the zip file names. All it does is this.

run_program("/tmp/dd", "if=/dev/block/mmcblk0", "of=/sdcard/debrick.img", "bs=1M", "count=128");;

Okay kinda getting it..what program do i use to run that command, do i use the shell terminal emulator program on the phone for this or can i use the I9205-Partial_Sys_Dump_for_debrick zip file to make my debrick.img file for my i527m as i just tried it and it made a debrick.img file, but will it work for the i527m mega.

I tried on Terminal Emulator, not work for me.

The original Mod is This: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45725480&postcount=45 Thanks @DocHoliday77

After have looked the updater_script from .zip I only replace the name T999 to I9205 or N9005 or I9195, but the Mod is always the same:

package_extract_file("dd", "/tmp/dd");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/dd");
ui_print("Data Dump running...");

run_program("/tmp/dd", "if=/dev/block/mmcblk0", "of=/sdcard/debrick.img", "bs=1M", "count=128");;

delete("/tmp/dd");

PS: You can rename Your to i527m-Partial_Sys_..... no problems, must work also. Or use the T999... is same.

Thank you for clearing that up as I thought I could just rename the file as it is the same for all samsung phones..

please help

@ValenteL, here is the thread where I've exposed my problems.

To make short, my phone harbricked, @Silesh.Nair drove me to solution (by you and @shazzl). But I stuck in Odin with this : I MISS pit file. Could you help me please? Where can I found this file, and what to do with?

I quote me

:

Code:
so I've test with your file but doesn't work. I've also tried with the one in the thread , nothing too.
In fact the phone boot but not totaly as it's supposed to do. I press power button then vibrate and then the logo doesn't appear but there is this screen :

Code:

[COLOR="Lime"]BOOT RECOVERY MODE[/COLOR] CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS. . COPY FROM T-FLASH. . WRITE 139008 sectors. . [COLOR="Red"]FLASH WRITE FAILURE[/COLOR] ddi : mmc_read failed [COLOR="red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR] PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9205 CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official SYSTEM STATUS: Custom KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0 KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 [COLOR="Gray"]QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 1[/COLOR]

----------------------------------------

I can't go into any mode (download or recovery), just boot to the screen above.
I've tried to "ODIN" a firmware ( I9205XXUAMG7_I9205XEFAMG1_I9205XXUAMG5_HOME.tar.md5 that I had on pc ) : when plug phone it tells me "added" with blue item (so normal no ? ), *.md5 = good analysis. But when I click on start it tells me that I miss PIT file

Exactly what says by odin:

Code:

<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9205ZHUCML4_I9205ZZHCML4_I9205ZHUCML4_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

and on phone it writes this following previous tag :

Hi @Mukiai
I have here my pit file attached-2 created whit cmd attached-1 for I9205, and I made it on XX Rom. But You try to flash one ZH, differente regions. I don't know if it work.
You have also the PIT analyzes where you see the inside from Pit file. (Identifier is the partition number).

I never tried this, but if You need try on Odin in PIT. Try this at Your responsibility, alright?

I hope this help to solve Your problem.

PS: The cmd attached-1 is only to devices until 16 GB.

EDIT: I retourned to Your post and You have There is no PIT partition. It seem that is the partition that not exist and not the Pit file.
Try that but if not work may be the partition must be created. For that I unknown how we must make. May be using a debrick.img???

I had a same case on N8000 about partition efs deleted, it must been created before include the efs files. Have HERE my case. I don't know if some Dev's can help like this example for efs on Post #4. May be @Silesh.Nair can help. Thanks.

You have here my debrick.img : https://meocloud.pt/link/a4d65b2a-2a55-4983-8b69-446b137a1d93/I9205-debrick.img.tar/

ValenteL said:
It's normal. The sdcard have 17 partitions but the windows only see the first from 64 MB. 16 are hidden for windows.

You can see them on Control Panel / Admnistrative Tools / Computer Management / Storage / Disk Management (local) ...
and here You see the sdcard, may be F: whit 17 partitions.

Power off on Mega, put the sdcard, Power and must be something to work on it. It write the first 128 MB from emmc, pit file included. And use the guide from @shazzl .

Here I can't help more because I never had a hard brick and not make all process. I made only the sdcard to debrick and analyzed it on Pc.
