UNBRICK METHOD:

Following directions taken and modified from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583603

Part 1: What you need

1. A SD Card that is the Same Size as your Phone's internal memory.
2. The unbrick image as above
3. A program to put the image on a SD Card which is here for windows users: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager
4. The Stock ROM. I got mine here. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900W8
5. ODIN 3.0x

Part 2: Prep

1. Get the battery charged to 100%.
2. Find a PC and plug the powercord (microUSB Cord) directly into the motherboard. NOT ANY OTHER PORT.
3. Format the SD Card to ExFAT you need from Part 1.1.
4. Using the #3 Program from Part 1.3, burn the image to the SD Card. Its simple.

Part 3: Turn it on

1. Put the battery into the phone.
2. Plug the charging cord into the phone.
3. Put the phone into download mode by holding: <Volume Down> + <Home Button> + <Power>
4. Once you are in download mode press <Volume Up> to enter download mode. Now go to part 4

Part 4: Putting the ROM back on

1. Don't Deviate from anything here or do extras.
2. Open Odin from Part 1.5.
3. Press PDA and Select your STOCK ROM from Part 1.4
4. Wait a min for Odin to analyze the file.
5. Hit Start on Odin.

MY OP:

Hello,

I am in URGENT need of someone who can help me with an UNBRICK img. You should be on stock and/or rooted firmware, but not on leaked TW KitKat bootloader. Please flash the following two files here in custom recovery:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2540537&d=1390754238
and http://shabbypenguin.com/getdownload.php?file=Tools/Unbrick-Creator.zip

This will NOT flash anything on your device, but it will create a debrick.img file, and Debrick folder. This does NOT contain any sensitive IMEI or anything like that information. Please either PM me directly, or post it here. I will appreciate it greatly.

Trying to follow the Note 3 unbrick threads, and in need of one now..

You may want to realize the difference between a EFS-based bootloop, versus what I am looking for after a hard brick.

But thank you for your input.

How did you brick it? - Reason I ask, is cause the w8 is downgradable from 4.4.2 so bootloader playing should not have affected you. Unless you flashed something on it you shouldn't have?

 

[SaHiLzZ]

Its not mine, but for someone else who asked me to help. I am not sure how it was bricked. Regardless it is a hard brick..

Unfortunately I can't help on the W8, but have you tried any other note 3 debrick image? Any difference with that?

 

[turilo]

I have the n900w8 but currently on leaked 4.4.2 kk. I will downgrade and flash the 2 files and see if I can help you out..

EDIT: I have created the N900W8 Canada debrick.img

Hello i'm about to perform this method..Just wanted to confirm with someone that I can use any of the debrick.img provided for version 4.4.2 on my w8. Thanks! I hope to god this works!

 

[Alawishis]

Just and FYI -
You don't mention it in the steps about actually putting the sdcard with the unbrick image into the phone again. I assume at or after 3.3 .

 

[Alawishis]

Unbelievable ! This worked for me as well. This feature of the Note 3 makes it tinkerer's dream, it makes it virtually brick-proof. I thought I was done when I could not get back to download mode. I was starting to plan out what I was going to do for my next phone.

By the way in my case it was a N900W8 from Puerto Rico. I purchased it locked to Clairo and unlocked it and flashed to Telus stock ROM. If anyone else has gone this route this method works to unbrick. At first it would not go into download, I had to pull the battery and let it sit for a day. The next day I put in a fresh battery and it booted right to the download selector screen. WAhooo! ...and I was off to the races. Much thanks to the OP and the OOP for this solution.

FYI - formatting the sdcard with the boot recovery partition makes it unusable in the state. Just reformat it again to Fat32 and you can use it as a sdcard again. If you have trouble formatting it I used Mini Tools Partition Wizard, it does the trick.

Hey friend, Can you please explain me what's the procedure in your FYI? and also, has your phone been working correctly since then? Do I have to keep the debrick.IMG for ever on my SD card? What do you mean by boot recovery partition?

Thanks in advance
