Hi People

We all must have the debrick.img on our extSdCard by security. If we have a Hard Brick we can make like this examples solved whit success.

See two HARD BRICK's solved. I have sending them the debrick.img:

This whit a Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600869 . One Mega 6.3" I9205.
And this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624203 . One Note3 N9005 whit Kitkat 4.4.2.

The method is the same for all Samsung devices that have a Pit file on partition mmcblk0.

The principal Thread for this work is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 Thanks @KAsp3rd

See also this to create the debrick.img: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45725480&postcount=45 Thanks @DocHoliday77

T999 is a example. This Mod work whit Pit.file partition mmcblk0. This is same on all Samsung devices I think. I only change to I9195_Partial_sys...

If You flashed a new Pit file or Updated by OTA (that can bring one), make new debrick.img . From 4.2.2 to 4.3 also.

PS: All People, make your debrick.img and have it on extSdCard by security.

Flash this by Recovery. Saved on Internal Sdcard. Copy it to extSdCard.

(Whit the usual Recovery from @arco68 Dev, the debrick.img is on /data/media.
Whit the Recovery from @Phil3759 is on /sdcard or /storage/sdcard0.

Nice! But what to do with the dump image when phone is bricked?
See this Guide made by a member that had a device bricked and I have sending him my debrick.img:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600869

On PC we make a MicroSD (16 or 32 GB) whit Win32DiskImager.exe using the debrick.img. After created this Microsd that have many partitions hidden for Windows but not for the device, We insert it on Bricked phone, press start and begin something to give life to it. Because the debrick.img was made from Pit file I think that is re-writed the PIT and after we have Download Mode and can use Odin.

But see the Thread father from this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 Thanks @KAsp3rd

OK, now it's clear I think: When phone is hard bricked and says something like QHSUSB_DLOAD when you turn it on, you can save it using the image on sdcard. Is that right?

Another question: What size the dump image will have when I flash your update package in CWM ?

Right.
Dump image called debrick.img have 128 MB. But to create the Sdcard on PC we need one from 16 or 32 GB.

Here the debrick.img from my I9195: https://meocloud.pt/link/220d6612-15d1-4f6f-a762-7e86cadacf0c/I9195-debrick.img.tar/

Hi
It is on /data/media, the debrick.img is there. On 4.1.2 /data/media is the internal sdcard but on 4.2.2 whit the option multiuser the configuration from it is different (the place depends from the Recovery used).

It arrived to me also. Not seen debrick.img on internal sdcard. Not remember that. I flashed the Recovery from Phil3759 and it work to normal sdcard..
Now I use this Recovery, I like it. See it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463322

For I9195 choice serranoltexx: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_...ltexx/philz_touch_6.08.8-serranoltexx.tar.md5
Is CWM based 6.0.4.6

And You have Your debrick.img on internal sdcard or on /data/media. Copy it to external.

I had to use FX file explorer to find the debrick.img file. Used the search option. Don't remember where it was, you could't find it browsing the emulated storage (that's how the phone mounts the internal media in Android 4.2.2)

Whit the usual Recovery from @arco68 Dev, the debrick.img is on /data/media.
Whit the Recovery from @Phil3759 is on /sdcard or /storage/sdcard0.
