Phone is dead n900w8

[xhamadeex]

Hello
I was trying to flash the official android L on my note 3 n900w8. I believe I hard bricked the phone because the phone is unresponsive. It does not turn on at all. Does not charge. No signs of life! Only when I plug the phone into my pc, the pc recognizes it under the name QC BULK.
I researched a lot about this problem and I found the SD card method. Tried it, and still does not work.
There is another method where you open the phone and find a resistor located near the camera, but I can't seem to find that resistor.
I bought a ''jig'' piece hoping that it will boot the phone up, but still no response. DEAD!
The only solution left is to ''Jtag'' it, but before I pay 60-70 dollars, do you guys have any ideas/solutions??
please please help!!
Thanks!:highfive:

Make SD card unbrick. I'll show you later tonight! As long as it shows USB QHSUSB_BULK, we should be able to resurrect it.

Edit: Unbrick thread

Also, what carrier are you on?

I tried the method again, and still does not work. The weird thing is that when I insert the SD card into the phone, the computer does not recognize the phone, but when I remove the SD card, the computer recognizes it immediately. Another thing that is weird is that the computer now recognizes the phone as Qualcumm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)

I uploaded some pictures in the attachments section.
Thanks

You should reformat SD to FAT32 filesystem, not exFAT. Format to FAT32, then write unbrick image, and try again.
