Note 7 SM-N930F bricked / / need help!

[bill340]

I flashed TWRP with odin.
After that I was not able to boot or start recovery.
Only download mode is possible.
In download mode it shows
warranty void 1 (0x030c)

I also cannot flash anything in odin anymore.
After initializing, it immidiatly stops with the error:
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (DeviceInfo)

Can anybody help me, how to get this beautiful phone running again?
Thanks so much!

try to download the firmware from http://samfirm.net/threads/official-rom-full-galaxy-note-7-sm-n930f-n930fxxu1apg7-xxv-23-07-2016.98/ and try to flash via odin.

Never ever try to flash anything till the time there is no evidence of success.

I tried that, but the problem is that I always get this error in Odin when trying to flash...

Did you check OEM unlock before you flash as per the instructions? not doing so will result in a boot loop.

 

[rcobourn]

Try different cable and USB port. I had trouble with both that had me running in circles.

Yes, I did OEM unlock before the flash.
Different cable and USB port makes no difference...

Usually when I have issues I try to uninstall all drivers related to phones and only install the one I need. Then after a restart and forcing the phone into Odin I'm able to flash without issues.

It might be failing because of a Partition size error. Have you tried the Samfirm Tool to download a firmware from your region?

Have you tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC ?

Also, I'm doubtful whether this is a new trick up from Samsung's sleeve. This Phone is still new, so it's quite a learning process. Maybe Samsung has implemented something to block these unofficial flash attempts. However I thank you taking the risk and trying the recovery first.

Can you help me, where I can get this?

Have you tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC ?

Download and install SmartSwitch for PC. Then follow this Video.

I really have no luck here...
Any idea?
Googled already, but did not really find anything besides reinstalling...

I dont think theres a fix for this issue yet. There's also no subtantiated literature in the larger cummunity pertaining to rooting the Note 7.

I am guessing this is an additional precaution taken by Samsung therefore the rooting process needs a very specific set of steps in order to circumnavigate the systems Sammy has put in place. The thread itself says WIP, so I applaud you for your courage.

Nonetheless my suggestion is to instead of waiting for an answer which no one can provide, go to Sammy and bull**** to them that u plugged in the computer and it became a brick.

Theres is no possible senario whereby the internet can help you because we know next to nothing about Note 7.

I sincerely hope that you can come out of the situation with a working Note 7 in your hands whilst not burning a hole in your wallet due to the repairs. God-speed my friend, God-speed.

This seems to be an issue in your drivers, Please uninstall all samsung related and flash box related (if exists) in your PC and try installing it again.

Alternatively, you can just walk into a Samsung Care store and get it done while you wait.

 

[bill340]

I did that already... No luck. I will try on a different pm next.

Bill sad to see this happened to you
I am exactly coming for the same forum and was following the same steps thought u were, but u took one more step forward and flashed the vitanamese firmware, your phone just messed up there. Was actually about to do the same thing but then read your comments. My phone starts but with errors and has battery drainage , i havent lost anything as it is still virgin and havent transfered anything to it yet. Will wait probably 4 to 5 days more for the official firmwares to release and fire it in.
Sorry to say but u had become the test subject...

The recovery mode cannot be accessed, no matter how hard you try

I just was in the Samsung Care Center in Singapore with my bricked phone.
After 1 hour waiting time, a Samsung guy explained me, that they cannot do anything about it, because they don't have parts ? for this phone in Singapore because it was not launched yet and also there is no international warranty on it.
He had no idea about any software recovery or anything and suggested to get back to Dubai, where I got the phone from.
Really a bad Customerservice experience.

I also want to thank all of you for your great help and suggestions!
I think I will send the phone back to the store in Dubai now.

 

[dubaidroid]

Well tht will be a good choice
But if u give it three more days and wait for the official firmwares to release would save you some time.
I am still following up with it.

I really doubt, that this will help, since I cannot flash anything in odin. After initialization I always get the error "FAIL (DeviceInfo)"

Same here in (Dubai) Mate, They don't even have the parts, or Tools to open the device up. If you remember me, I screwed up my Note 7 a week back, Just after two days from launch, and I still didn't receive it. They are still unable to sort it out.

I'm sure when a proper firmware for XSG (Dubai - Same as your device) and a proper ODIN is released to flash the Note 7, this will be a piece of a cake. Just hope for the best, As just like you - I too took a leap of faith and did something stupid.

Anyway, Wishing you luck !

I am not sure if this will help....
What happens when you try a older version of Odin?
Its worked for me in the past, with my s6 edge.
