No idea mate. If your device is borked with the bootbrick give it a try......can`t really make anything worse unless someome post a cure 5 mins after you try it:laugh: Be brave or stupid,take a leap in the darkDoes this work on the N900A (for AT&T)?
I'll pass for now. :laugh: thanks.No idea mate. If your device is borked with the bootbrick give it a try......can`t really make anything worse unless someome post a cure 5 mins after you try it:laugh: Be brave or stupid,take a leap in the dark
I finally got CWM working.Now I understand. I have the same problem. Just didn't know how stock recovery looked like. Glad I am not the only person with this problem. I will try to use an other version of Odin when i get home today.
Thanks alot ... find it...Go to menu System settings then in the search field write reactivation and the phone find it for you(it is disabled by default). you can do that with any setting you are looking for, it is like windows 7 search.
Dude if you're still bricklooped try thisI'll pass for now. :laugh: thanks.
Can anyone confirm this? Wow. I'll pull out my unit from samsung service center if this is true hehe.Dude if you're still bricklooped try this
May be agood idea to backup your efs and sorry but you should do this via TWRP 2.6.3.2*
Get twrp from goo.img
All do respect for cwm. I was unable to get it working via cwm. *Also these two users who recovered from the brickloop were able to later perform a nandroid and restore (twrp 2.6.3.2) by not restoring efs.*
Do an "adb shell" in twrp (advance/ adb sideload)
If you get a device not found error go into terminal and type the commands
From the ADB shell: Wipe the EFS *with the following command:
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12*
mkdir /efs
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /efs
Do a Factory Reset*
2 users confirmed this worked!
If anyone here wants to try this and let me know that would be great. *Alternatively I have also extracted and created a ext4format .tar.md5 of the cache.img, boot.img and the system.img if flashed in that order from the stock firmware you may also recover after factor reset in stock recovery.

I assure you it's true and it will work. I've been busting my butt as have others. I cannot take the credit for this method as someone else posted it before I did lol! (Slow typer!) But my ext4 format .tar.md5 should also work albeit a lot harder and more for advanced users. So if you're in the brickloop follow those instructions up there ? and you'll have a working device. Just remember do not restore efsCan anyone confirm this? Wow. I'll pull out my unit from samsung service center if this is true hehe.

If you have linux I can give you instructions on how to build 3 ext4format .tar.md5 flashable odin file. They need to be flashed seperately for ut to work. However as I said it is a lot more in depth and challenging if you're not a linix user. Not to say you can't do it. Just use the very easy user friendly instructions I posted and you will be savedWhat ext4? Is there another method to fix?
Also, what do you mean do not restore efs? On where? I already restored nandroid (all checked) before which actually caused the brickloop. Will that process fix my problem as well?

What did you mean by your do not restore efs comment? You mean if I restored efs via nandroid twrp restore I can't use this? Or in the future?If you have linux I can give you instructions on how to build an ext4format .tar.md5 flashable odin file.

Restoring the efs is what I believe caused the brickloop. There are other methods to bqck them up. And until our custom recovery finds a patch for this do not restore efs moving forward. That being said if you're in a brickloop already it wont work by simply deselcting efs. The method I posted will fix. And once you're up and running again you can restore if you don’t restore your efs. Keep in mind this method is in beta so to speak so restore a nandroid at own risk! However I'm confident in this method. So if you're in the brickloop go try it and then when it works amd you've finished doing the happy dance push my thank button with your finger....like this ?What did you mean by your do not restore efs comment? You mean if I restored efs via nandroid twrp restore I can't use this? Or in the future?
