RECOVERY STYLE 1 : [ODIN]
GINGERBREAD VERSION

1) Use ODIN

2) Uninstall Samsung KIES. It interferes with the ODIN flashing.
You should have the ADB/USB Drivers
Just in case you don't have them, here are the Samsung USB drivers

3) Download the AbyssKernel 4.2 for ODIN.

Incase it fails u can use 3.9 version too.

4) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik.

5) FLASH THE ROOTED KJ4 kernel From PC ODIN - Kernel Link
TRY FLASHING THE STOCK ROM in PDA Try the Oldest Stock ROM - KJ4 click me

Remember to Run ODIN in Admin mode (Right Click and Run even if you are an Admin)

6) Head to Dr Ketan Thread for Rooting...

The AbyssKernel 4.2 download link given is .zip format,how could I flash it in Odin?

It's too long back I wrote this tutorial.
Why don't u Google for odin recovery kernel for GB
You can flash any custom kernel of GB

note edge bricked: phone turns off after boot

I have a galaxy note edge with stock rom 5.0.1, and a few days earlier I had got an ota update of 108 mb. But a few days later when I tried to turn the phone on it booted, but after some time the screen would go black. So I did a factory reset, but still the same problem occurred: screen would go black randomly. Then I flashed official stock rom via Odin, the flash was successfully and the phone rebooted with 'recovery booting' in the upper left corner of the screen, but as soon as the text 'galaxy note edge powered by Android' showed up then the screen went black. No matter what I do, I can't turn it on. To turn the device on again I have to pull the battery out and put it in after 10-15 seconds, but whenever I try to turn it on, the phone goes to note edge boot screen with 'recovery booting' in the top left corner of the screen and then turns off. I have no clue what's causing this; I tried flashing stock rom, and cwm and twrp recoveries, but nothing seems to work, the same problem happens every time I try to turn the phone on. When I turn the phone on, it goes to 'galaxy note edge powered by Android' with 'recovery booting' on the top left of the screen, but then it turns itself off right there.
I CAN'T EVEN GO TO RECOVERY, ONLY DOWNLOAD MODE WORKS.
IS MY PHONE BRICKED, IF SO CAN ANYONE HELP ME???
I'M DESPERATE TO GET MY PHONE BACK UP AND RUNNING.I'M A NOOB, I DON'T HAVE MUCH KNOWLEDGE.
PLEASE KINDLY GIVE ME A SOLUTION SO I CAN GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE!!!
PHONE: GALAXY NOTE EDGE
MODEL: SM-N915G
FIRMWARE: STOCK LOLLIPOP 5.0.1
COUNTRY: SINGAPORE(STARHUB) (STH)
WARRANTY: VOID
THANKS IN ADVANCED

You are in a boot loop and not a brick.
Please install a full wipe stock Rom via Odin. I wonder how you are using Odin.

Lets give a try!
Method 1 : Try restoring in Kies
Method 2 : Find your model and then download full rom from sammobile (preferably old ones like kit kat , I beleive they may contain the bootloader
and if required Repartition by using pit file. Go to stock recovery and wipe before using it.)

Earlier there used to be indications if its a full wipe rom; so couldnt help as i dont also own this phone.
Dont worry ; you will get it back working soon.

I need PIT file for galaxy note edge
model: SM-N915G(32 GB)
IF ANYONE HAS THE PIT FILE FOR THIS PHONE, KINDLY UPLOAD IT HERE OR GIVE ME A LINK. MAYBE FLASHING THE PIT FILE WITH STOCK ROM WOULD BRING MY PHONE ALIVE AGAIN.
THANK YOU

You may consider giving more details like what kernel you are trying to flash .
Try to recover by loading the bootloaders too.
Use Full Firmware in Odin which has bootloaders.
Should work.
Sorry for very late reply.

[prabhu1980]

Hey Hotfile.com dont work. I cant install the roms. please help

Can you be specific with firmware and your problem, Which was your last rom ? Kitkat, Lollipop ???
I am not supporting this forum as I have changed my mobile thrice after Note.
But if I am of any help I would do it.
You should use Odin and flash kernels to first get back to recovery.
If you have problems with kernel flashing please get bootloaders flashed too.

Bricked N7000

Found an old N7000 lying in a drawer, been bricked for years (2013?). read this thread and followed 'RECOVERY STYLE 2 : [CWM]'. Within minutes it was up & running... So easy... Now I have a half decent spare phone. Many thanks.

No detection.

And when the phone is not detected by computer? I have a bricked N7000 with a blank screen and no download or recovery mode, plus with no detection by my computer. Last time I was using LineageOS Nougat, and noted a bug with the sdcard's name and strange characters. So, as a linux user, I tried to change info for it in fstab file, and the phone is dead. No download mode, no recovery mode, no detection by dmesg in linux. Have tried to unbrick with the USB JIG method, and warm up the motherboard too, but no success.

Any ideas for unbrick it? Thanks!
