Hi , I've succeeded in getting to the last step. So what do I do now? Flash it in Odin? with? I tried flashing with a stock 4.3 N7105 ROM and it says "There Is No Pit Partition" and fail, so please advice. I still think my eMMC is not damaged. Can someone verify if we can get to the last step as what asteraky has shown, does it mean our eMMC doesn't need to be replaced. I am short of this last step, I know there is a ray of hope in reviving this Note 2 N7105.
This is what I get
and what does
INVALID RPMB DATA means ? All I can suspect is that the current bootloader in the phone is the 4.3 with KNOX Authentication key, the boot SD has the 4.1.2 bootloader . If only someone can dump a new BOOT SD Repair with the new 4.3 files in it , it might work. Just my theory on this. Does anyone get the same issue?
