SM-G930A Unbrick Image

[PantherMan594]

I have a hard bricked AT&T Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A). I'm trying to unbrick it by using an SD card and an unbrick image, as described here or here. However, I don't have access to a rooted Galaxy S7 of the same model. Can someone create an unbrick image I can use?
Thanks!

How did you hard brick it? Did you mess with settings in Odin? Try to flash the wrong FW?

I don't know how it was bricked, I'm trying to fix it for a friend. It doesn't turn on at all, so I can't get it into download mode to flash the stock rom. I know it's a Qualcomm variant because I can see "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager when I plug it into my computer, so the SD card method might work.

I can't flash anything because it won't turn on at all, so I can't get into download mode.

Not what I asked. What files did you TRY TO FLASH? Give me a link to the site you got them from or put them in a folder and take a pic of the files.

I haven't tried to flash anything yet, and I don't know what my friend flashed to brick the phone. I will try to flash this if I can boot the phone into download mode.

So... I'm gonna take a guess and assume that your friend didn't really know what he was doing and flashed the first firmware he saw. (Which was probably the F firmware.) Causing it to brick. The F firmware IS NOT MEANT four our devices. Hence he broke it. Probably unrecoverable. Plus he might not have used Odin making it even worse.

Well that's discouraging... I would still like to try booting from and SD card though, so it would be great if you (or anyone) can provide a debrick image.

Even that might not because of our locked bootloader. Friend is more than likely dicked out of his phone unless he files a for replacement or something. :/

I think this is a waste of time in this forum. All clever guys have left, just kidds remained.
They just copy others posts...
Can anyone really make an unbrick image? Is it soo difficult?
Seems everybody just cares for themselves....
Lets hope...

And just a comment, you dont need a "rooted" phone to create the image.
Insert a blank sd card on your phone, at least 32GB
Enter download mode,
Load files in ODIN
Select in options tab in Odin (T-Flash)
And flash
All flash will happen to the SD card NOT in the phone and TADA, you have a sd card where you can extarct the recovey image
Piece of cake.
Anyone help?

g930a-v models same sda flash

my phone same problem bro help me

If for some reason it doesn't work, then try to create an emergency scdard from an identical model with identical firmware version as your broken one, root it by eng-boot, read out the first 1GB of the "sda" partition, write the dump to a fast class U1/U10 32GB sdcard using Win32Disk, insert the card into the sdcard slot and power it up while holding Vol Down + Home + Power. If everything was done correctly, the phone should boot into download mode, then just flash the latest full stock to fix it.

To create an emergency sdcard for Qualcomm based G930/G935:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/sda of=/storage/emulated/emergency.bin bs=1024 count=131072
exit
adb pull /storage/emulated/emergency.bin


g930a-v models same sda flash

I have a bricked S7, att variant. I used modded odin to force a lower bootloader and now it will only boot to a screen that says sbl error. I got the edl cable. What do I do now?

 

[edgarb]

reviving a thread for a minute. I too was given a phone that is hard bricked. meaning that it will not be recognized by odin. however, it is recognized and i have the qualcomm drivers through my work. so i have access to qpst and qfil. the downside is that i cannot find a full copy of the software.
qpst requires both phone image and boot image in .hex format,

and qfil gives me a bit more playing area such as elf type and the xml files, or i can extract the files needed if i have the FFU.

my problem is the only versions of the software that i keep finding are for odin. so my request is, i have a couple of different software versions for the g930a, can someone extract the hex files, or convert to FFU? that's the part i'm getting stuck in. lots of tutorials on how to extract to convert to md5 for odin, or how to extract if you have a rooted g930a, but i don't have access to that.
