N7105 - SDCard Mode and ODIN - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I managed to to get to SDCARD Download mode from a dead boot N7105 using the SD Boot Repair SD. Odin recognizes this and phone was previously on 4.3 JellyBean already. Now when I'm trying to flash with Odin 3.09 , it says "There is no PIT partition" . Should I click the Phone Bootloader Update checkbox also? Need some advice from all the gurus here to guide me along this, thank you very much

Hi guys,
I have a very similar scenario but with an Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300:
Couple of days ago my phone went into booting loop but after removing the battery for a couple of minutes the issue was solved.
Then 3 days later it restart out of the sudden and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S III splash screen.
I rebooted and tried putting the phone in Download mode. The phone went into the Samsung Galaxy S III screen twice and turn off not to boot again. Seems like a hard bricked, no response with any buttons combinations.
I read other posts here saying that I could probably boot the phone with an micro sd card. So I donwloaded image I9300UBUGML1_I9300UWHUGMK1_I9300UBUGMK1_HOME from SamMobile and mouted in a 16 Gb type 10 micro SD (my phone is also 16 Gb version)
At first I tried booting the phone pressing the power button for about 10 seconds and the screen ligthted up very quickly (less than a second) saying
SDCARD MODE
UP KEY: NORMAL BOOTING
DOWN KEY: DOWNLOAD MODE
But it was so quick that I was not able to press anything.
A day later I figure out that if I was quick enough I could press down key and put the phone on Download mode (SDCARD)
After putting the phone on Download mode I connected the phone to the PC and tried flashing it with ODIN v3.07
Odin is able to see the device but when trying to flash the phone (selecting PDA and the image mention before) a message came up saying:
There is no PIT partition
And failed.
Reading about this error in this forum, I have tried using different PIT files to re-partion the phone but no success so far.
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit
mx.pit
Odin stays on Get PIT for mapping after initializing the process.
I would like to know if anyone here have an idea on what else to try (before talking about JTAG reparing the phone as I am not 100% the phone is hard bricked)
I have not attempted to use a USB Jig yet, should I?
Other details:
I am not able to get the download with any other image file in the sd card.
If the phone is on download mode and connected to the PC, the battery can be removed and the phone stays on.
If I press up key in the SD CARD Mode the phone freezes.
Do you guys have any ideas here?
Thanks,

cry a little, maybe the phone will accept your apologizes and resurrect from the dead
again it may not work so don't get your hopes up to high ITS A TRIAL AND ERROR situation WITH HARD BRICKS...........
some people have successfully debricked their device, so again you have to be patient and know exactly what you are doing and dont panic
Remember Mobiletechvideos.com can fix it in less than 25 minutes depending on your phone :laugh:and they are affordable :good:
Your pretty much stuck if you can't recover via SD card.
Remember there are a lot of options for JTAG repair, research local repairs by Kijiiji and also places like Mobile Tech Videos. Always search for legitimacy and best price.

Can’t access to Download Mode or Recovery Mode after bricking AT&T Galaxy S3 i744 4.3
Hi I have (had) a AT&T galaxy S3 i747 with android 4.1.1

}
Because the phone is in another country I couldn’t update it by OTA to android 4.3
So I started to read forums that said how to Update AT&T S3 i747 to android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB)
The S3 was not Root
I installed all the phone drivers in the computer
This is what I did: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52341582&postcount=38)
- Use Odin 3.07
- Check Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, and uncheck all the boxes
- I put my phone in USB debugging in the developer options
- I turned it off
- Started to put the phone on Download Mode pressing volume DW+home+power button at the same time
- In Odin on the PDA box I checked and loaded the file .tar.md5 (I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )
- Pressed the button Start
The installation seemed to go right, the program never showed anything weird.
When the Programs finished the installation the phone turned off and then turned on and show the logo of android (seemed to be lying down or inclined) and after that it turned off.
The computer showed that something was connected (QHSUSB_DLOAD) but couldn’t install any driver, so I disconnected it of the computer.
I couldn’t turn on the phone :crying:, I took the battery out and put it in and tried to start the phone and nothing happened, I tried pressing any button to access to recovery o download mode and none of this worked.
I started to search forums that talk about restart or turn on a brick AT&T S3 i747
I found one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068) that said to download a image (debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img) and using the program “Win32DiskImager” to put the image inside of a micro SD to make the phone turn on,
I put the micro SD inside the phone and when I pushed the power button for almost 3 seconds it Turned on , the phone seems to be fine an it has android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) installed.
I can use it normally so far.
But the problem is that I can’t turn on the phone if the micro SD card is not inserted on the phone.
Without the micro SD inside don’t show any sign of life
When the micro SD is inside I can turn on the phone and use its apps.
I have tried to enter to Recovery mode or Download mode with the micro SD inside but the phone only show what its supposed to happen for 1 second then turns off and then turns on by its own (after that I can use it normally)
Does anyone know how can I Fix my phone ?
How can I boot my phone without using the micro SD card?
How can I access to download mode?
And if I could access to download mode what should I do next ?
The only files I have now are:
Odin3 v3.07
I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5(905 Mb)
debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img (80 Mb)

It's been a while sorry about beinging away.
A guy who says that have a JTAG service tried and coudn't recover it. So I left it there because it have a broken display and a broken firmware and it' is from outside Brazil and after the FIFA CUP Anatel will lock operation of devices that models are not sold on Brazil and I747 is probably included on the list.
So i gave up from my phone and bought a Nexus 5.
The case is closed!

Here's what you can do to get the device back to working and booting normally. If the Odin flash failed first time, you should not use this flash again. Instead you should use custom recovery to flash a complete 4.3 stock restore image.
1) Download the stock restore image from the following thread. I always prefer to use TWRP and thus, the TWRP image, because of the easier user interface.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Save the file to a location on your computer.
2) Download the Odin flashable TWRP Tar file for custom recovery from the link below ....
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
With the debrick card in your phone, boot to system as you have been doing. Connect your phone to your computer with a good quality micro USB cable and copy the stock restore image you downloaded earlier to your phone. Be sure you remember the stored location.
3) Power off your phone and, with the debrick card, boot to download mode. If you cannot use the Volume Down, Power and Home button combo to boot to download mode, you may need to get a USB jig.
4) Once you are in download mode, connect your phone to the PC, open Odin v3.07. Make sure Odin recognizes your phone. Do not check or uncheck any boxes but leave the defaults as is. In the PDA box, load the TWRP Tar file you downloaded earlier. Click on Start and wait for flashing to complete. When you get to Pass, disconnect your phone from the PC and pull out the battery to stop it trying to reboot.
5) Replace the battery and with the debrick card inside, boot to Recovery mode by pressing the Volume Up, Power and Home buttons. If you do this right, you should be able to get to recovery mode.
6) Select Install and navigate to the stock restore zip file you saved to your phone earlier. Select this zip and swipe to confirm install. Wait for firmware installation (flashing) to complete.
7) Clear your cache/dalvikand reboot to system.
Try booting without the card. If the above process went as described, your phone should be booting normally. Good luck!

Okay. At least, we are almost there. Try booting into recovery mode and doing a hard wipe/reset. If this doesn't work, then you could try reinstalling the 4.3 stock firmware. You may need to reflash custom recovery as the initial flashing would have returned you to stock recovery. If you have to do the firmware flashing again, please make sure you clear your cache/dalvik before rebooting to system.
happy to see this thread resolved, this is what XDA is all about, no matter how fd up something sounds, a community like xda will find a fix for it even if it takes months
And the award of the Q/A thread goes to Larry and everyone in this post for trying and failing but succeeding at the end :laugh:
anywayz happy rooting and be careful, no-one wants to end with a brick cheers and keep this place awsome

Hey Larry2999 I want to really thank you for your help it was so helpful, actually I discovered that the battery of the Galaxy S3 was failing thats why when I turned on the phone it turned off after a seconds althoughthe battery was charged, so I connected the charger to the phone and it started normally. Now I can use it and it has android 4.3.
Your method was right, and thanks to take the time to answer. I hope it can help someone else too.

Hey Larry2999 I want to really thank you for your help it was so helpful, actually I discovered that the battery of the Galaxy S3 was failing thats why when I turned on the phone it turned off after a seconds althoughthe battery was charged, so I connected the charger to the phone and it started normally. Now I can use it and it has android 4.3.
Your method was right, and thanks to take the time to answer. I hope it can help someone else too.

Did you try getting into download mode with the 3-button combo (Volume Down/Power/Home)?

[Q] I747 S3 Download Mode - No Normal Boot

HAS ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE!!!
WON'T ALLOW BOOT INTO RECOVERY!!
Tired to flash the Wicked ROM for the I747 S3 model and right after wiping and flashing the ROM, the device shut off. Once I went to wipe and restore because clearly this ROM didn't work. I ended up with:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: Enabled
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
I'm not doing this for warranty purposes, I'm just trying to revive my phone whether it be with or without root access.
Since you can get into download, try installing a custom recovery via Odin such as Philz Touch and then try to get into recovery. Maybe you existing recovery has been corrupted.
Perfect. Got it up and running. Thanks

Remember, as long as you are able to boot either in download mode or even your bootloader, you're pretty much guaranteed to get your phone back up and running. Although lets say you cannot access both, then you'll need to JTAG your device which may be difficult depending on your skill set in that area.
Can’t access to Download Mode or Recovery Mode after bricking AT&T Galaxy S3 i744 4.3
Hi I have (had) a AT&T galaxy S3 i747 with android 4.1.1

Because the phone is in another country I couldn’t update it by OTA to android 4.3
So I started to read forums that said how to Update AT&T S3 i747 to android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB)
The S3 was not Root
I installed all the phone drivers in the computer
This is what I did: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52341582&postcount=38)
- Use Odin 3.07
- Check Auto Reboot and Re-Partition, and uncheck all the boxes
- I put my phone in USB debugging in the developer options
- I turned it off
- Started to put the phone on Download Mode pressing volume DW+home+power button at the same time
- In Odin on the PDA box I checked and loaded the file .tar.md5 (I747UCUEMJB_2024954_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 )
- Pressed the button Start
The installation seemed to go right, the program never showed anything weird.
When the Programs finished the installation the phone turned off and then turned on and show the logo of android (seemed to be lying down or inclined) and after that it turned off.
The computer showed that something was connected (QHSUSB_DLOAD) but couldn’t install any driver, so I disconnected it of the computer.
I couldn’t turn on the phone :crying:, I took the battery out and put it in and tried to start the phone and nothing happened, I tried pressing any button to access to recovery o download mode and none of this worked.
I started to search forums that talk about restart or turn on a brick AT&T S3 i747
I found one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068) that said to download a image (debrick-SGH-I747U-CUEMJB3.img) and using the program “Win32DiskImager” to put the image inside of a micro SD to make the phone turn on,
I put the micro SD inside the phone and when I pushed the power button for almost 3 seconds it Turned on , the phone seems to be fine an it has android 4.3 (I747UCUEMJB) installed.
I can use it normally so far.
But the problem is that I can’t turn on the phone if the micro SD card is not inserted on the phone.
Without the micro SD inside don’t show any sign of life
When the micro SD is inside I can turn on the phone and use its apps.
I have tried to enter to Recovery mode or Download mode with the micro SD inside but the phone only show what its supposed to happen for 1 second then turns off and then turns on by its own (after that I can use it normally)
Does anyone know how can I Fix my phone ?
How can I boot my phone without using the micro SD card?
How can I access to download mode?
And if I could access to download mode what should I do next ?
The only files I have now are:

I'm in the same situation. Please if anyone could shed some light on the problem listed above.
Thanks in advance.
is thread still alive?.im having the same issue as op but when ever i flash a cwm or twrp recovery odin says pass and phone reboots to the same screen again..anybody have suggestion? my device is also i747
Flash cwm or twrp using Odin but don't check anything except f.reset time. When you see the word reset in the status window, disconnect USB cable, pull the battery, and boot into recovery.
no recovery still whatsoever..idk what my phone is up to..anything i try to flash with odin seems to fail except recovery..but even when it says pass it isnt installed?!.if i flash stock rom it says no pit partition but i already have the pit..curiously i noticed that my counter never increase..still 0 no matter how many times i flash cwm/twrp recovery..im not on 4.3 yet so im really freaked out..
Are you checking auto reboot in Odin when flashing recovery?
@audit13
Checked or unchecked yields same results..im smelling a fried emmc..might need board replacement..hard to find someone to replace emmc here in ph..

I'm also in this same situation. I revived my S3 from a long time being bricked so I can give it to my daughter and found myself in this same situation. It would only boot with the debrick sd card and won't boot into download mode. It would only stay for 1/2 a sec and then reboot. Has anyone been able to crack this? Thanks!
A tiny help
Hi, i have been really disconected of this.
Good and big bad news.
The good is could fix the phone, the bad is i dont remenber the procedure i did to fix it, i just searched in many forums, and tried many methods and downloaded some files that helped me to fix it. the only thing i remenber is i download a .rar that contain the android 4.3 for the samsung i747. Even though i dont remind what i did, hope this pictures of the files i used to recover the phone works for you.
if you find this files on the web, or when i have time to upload them hope they can help you.
sorry, but thats what a i call this a small and insignificant Help

I have not had to use a debrick image myself. I have read where once you have the phone booted using a debrick image you can remove the card and replace it with one holding a ROM image which can then be flashed from a custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery installed you may be able to install the ROM with adb/fastboot after changing the cards. If this is not clear, there may be a better worded answer posted in one of the debrick threads.
Thanks. I already have the other sd card with the rom, kernel, etc. ready to flash but since I don't have custom recovery, I'm stuck. I remember seeing a thread mentioning about using adb/fastboot. I'll continue searching.

[Q] Sprint Galaxy S3 Phone Bricked?? Hard or Soft?? HELP

so i mistakenly flashed a rom that was meant for the i900 or something and i got hardbricked and im not sure what steps to take or anything.
I know that i can buy this thing to make it go to download mode, but ive already tried doing the not jtag or Jig method but i used my Sandisk Micro Sdcard 8gb Class 4 instead since i dont have the 16gb class 10 version. what do i do?
ive used the windsik 32 image writer to write the
debrick sphl710.img to that microsdcard and idk what to do now. my batter was at 75% charger aswell and also i noticed if i removed the battery and the sdcard and cable and plug in just the usb cable (connected to my pc) it showed a red led light and then it turned off after a bit and my computer read a driver was missing with QHDSLOAD or something like that.
Go download Odin, go find twrp recovery for your phone, get the tar file, open Odin, put your phone in download mood, uncheck auto reboot and reset time, click pda, select the tar, after Odin recognizes your phone then click start. If it says pass then disconnect, power off, boot into your recovery, and flash something like Rooted stock ND8.
I don't normally flash the wrong roms, but occasionally crap won't work no matter how many times I re-download or flash. All that seems to work is flash a new recovery and then boot into it and flash the rom I needed.

HELP sgh-t989d is stuck in odin update failed mode

Time line of what happened so far
2018
phone died after random update of android OS , though it was his time as i own it for + 5 years
2019
got a new phone and got curious about what happened so i started looking the internet , ended in this website almost everytime.
i left the phone chargin while i searched for answers, i connected the phone to my pc, try the botton combination to get to download mode and recovery(not succesfull) , removed the battery, try to turn it on without baterry to drain all power of phone and restart volatile memory (multiple times) and put it again without gettin anywhere try to connected to a netbook that was freshly formated and with fresh windows 10 intall, odin in that pc recognise the phone just as Qloader-9008 com (x) continued searching and from nowhere the phone started vibrating and then stoped and the chargin icon apeared on the screen i left it to charge as that was the first time i was 100% sure it was chargin after 10+ hours chargin while i was sleeping i try the botton to enter download mode and it worked, try the stock rom from my model, country and service provider and the phone got stuck on a boot loop showing the movistar intro then the s4 mini intro and vibratin each time it was to late so i stupidly turn it of, next morning i got back to try make it work but now it was totally unresponsive odin didn recognize the phone, didnt enter download mode or recovery , no boot loop, nothing is only make a sound in my pc when i try the botton combinations but nothing more just a sound of something connecting and disconnectingx2 got frustrated and left it there collecting dust, also the usb jig dont work
2020
4 months ago i got back to try to make the s4 mini work so i searched the internet again and found the sd card way i did try it and now im here with the phone in a loop of rebootin an starting the same boot recovery mode, it do not say "Flash write failure Ddi : mmc_read dailed" as i did read on other threads in this forum so as i stated before
i put an SDXC UHS-I class 10 A1 with a debrick.img and the phone enter boot recovery mode and show this
__________________________
Boot recovery mode
check boot partitions
copy from t-flash

________________________
then reboot on a loop and the same msg this for more than 15 mins then it stopped until i reconnect it to the pc or the charger or try to turn it on using the power botton, when the phone stop rebooting the normal convinations of keys make it vibrate for 3-4 times but nothing shows in the screen, the boot dont fail or at least it do not say it, it just stop trying to reboot,
what can i do to at least get it to a point that kies or smart switch can take the controll or be able to use odin, the battery is at 3.78volts
If you can get your S4mini into Download mode, you should try Odin again. But this time, under the Options tab, UNcheck the box for Auto Reboot as well as the box for F. Reset Time. And then when Odin gives the green success indication, immediately disconnect USB and remove battery. Re-insert the battery after a minute or so. Another suggestion; flash the Movistar firmware only if you intend to use their carrier service. Otherwise, it would be better to use firmware not specific to any one carrier. Be sure the 3rd letter of the baseband code is "U" (for "unspecified" carrier). Good luck, hopefully your troubles are not due to faulty hardware.
HY to me happend tha Same my S4-Mini has showing Error in instand and after a tryed to Reboot the Phone was Complete DEAD , tryed the to Boot From SD- Card BOOT RECOVERY MODE it Says FLASH WRITE FAILURE ddi MMC read Failed !
