What exactly is a debrick image? Sorry, the only time I ever bricked a phone was on purpose si I've never used one.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

Cnexus - any idea why yours is much smaller?
80mb vs 128mb
The 80mb file is about the same size as pre 4.3 images.

I just used a difference size when dumping it.

If the bootloader gets corrupted on the Galaxy SIII, you can flash the image file to an SD card and get the phone to boot from a fully bricked state (phone will not power on at all). The image file must match the current bootloader that is installed. There are other threads here for previous builds with the matching image files.
(If I got something a little wrong in terminology or concept, I'm sure someone will pop in and fix anything I got mixed up on explaining. )

You are all over this update man, I can't keep up lol.

Him or me?
Unfortunately, my phone hard bricked during some testing of ND8 and now it's a paperweight as I haven't been able to get it back. I'm sure we'll see more of this going forward. I bet there were a few when 4.3 came along as well but we weren't around for that release here.
Looks like Jtag for this phone and I haven't decided what to do in the meantime to replace it; temporarily or permanently.

I personally think I'm done with Sammy after this phone. Knox is too much of a pain in the arse and if they keep adding to it it's gonna eventually be locked down. I'm looking at the OnePlus or the LG G3 or the new M8, but not til Christmas or Tax Time.

Edit: Additionally, I had issues getting this image to flash in Windows. I had to flash it to SD in Ubuntu. If you can still read the SD in Windows, it didn't take the flash. If the card is unreadable in Windows then maybe it flashed ok but still no guarantees it will work if the bootloader partitions are corrupted like mine were.

I was having connectivity issues so I flashed a new modem. Then, for some weird reason, I lost audio and had ZERO signal except wifi. I was advised to flash a TW rom to try and update PRL and activate the phone. I flashed Wicked Sensations, still no luck. So at that point, I was trying to flash back to non rooted using >>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099. Thats when it bricked. I don't blame anyone but myself. I didn't read the ENTIRE thread before flashing and it hard bricked. Won't power on, no recovery/download mode. Light comes on with battery pulled and plugged in to USB.
I have tried all the threads and has no luck. I bought a 16g class 10 sd card. Tried many different debrick files. Tried writing with win23 and Cygwin, nothing. I am thinking I may need a different image based on my bootloader, I just have no idea which it was at the time.

[Q] Root At&t 4.4.2 Update (I467 version)

I know there aren't a ton of us At&t Note 8 Variant users out there...but the few of us that are have received an update to Kit Kat finally...
So now, I'm starting this simple question thread: - HOW CAN WE ROOT?
Just to keep track of what is tried and what doesn't work for the new update version-until we have success!
Baseband version: I467UCUBNI2
So, what have you tried and what were the results? Has anyone succeeded?
I've tried: saferoot, towelroot, kingo - none have worked.
What have you tried?

Go ahead and send me the link.
Following a thread in the Galaxy S5 forums I was able to root an S5 with Towelroot by flashing a signed (important if you don't want to trip the KNOX flag) kernel from an older firmware release, do the root, and then re-flash the signed kernel for the 4.4.2 version. I can't guaranty it work on your device, and I have the GT-N5100, but if we can extract the signed kernel from your image the pieces should be available to try it.

NOTE 3 - ROOTED

Yea, I looked at it.
You can too by using 7zip to "open archive".
Here's the root directory of the 2400258.cfg file you linked:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There is no signed "boot.img" file that could be flashed with Odin or Heimdall. When I checked the updater script a patch method is used to updated the previous kernel:
Code:
ui_print("Patching boot image...");
apply_patch("EMMC:/dev/block/mmcblk0p9:5150976:8293cf49006c35a33647cba0f6153bc8320ae5de:6080784:eaee84c0a938f101931ca0b235cbbee112c26499",
"-", eaee84c0a938f101931ca0b235cbbee112c26499, 6080784,
8293cf49006c35a33647cba0f6153bc8320ae5de, package_extract_file("patch/boot.img.p"));
Without a complete 4.4.2 version of a signed boot.img file you wouldn't be able to return to the original kernel after rooting. I wouldn't recommend the method I mentioned previously until that's available.
ramjet73

Thanks for taking a look. Will search for the correct boot.img file. Nothing on sammobile yet

I'll leave that up to @godzulu since it's his IMG file but just want to make sure you know that you need to be 100% stock on the previous build to use that file to update to 4.4.2.

Thanks!
I just started looking for information on viable rooting methods for the i467 after the 4.4.2 update and am a little disapointed with the news i found on this post. I had hoped to find a ez method to remedy a few issues such as the ext SD storage problem.
Thanks to OP and all here working to fix the problem!! Off to research more & hopefully be able to bring something helpful back.
We waited for a LONG time to recieve ANY updates so hopefully we wont be waiting long to get root back.

Lollipop on dev edition?

How can we get the official lp on the dev edition phone? Actually i just check for software update on the phone and it says one is available. Can I take it or will it lock my phone up?

It will lock it, a rom will be made probably in a day or so. Just hang tight.

If you have a dev phone, then taking an OTA won't ever be a justifiable risk. You should only ever manually install new firmware(e.g. via odin), and then only after a reputable source has verified that the firmware is safe.

It's kinda hard to wait seeing all of the people posting about their new Lollipop update. But I really think every N4DE owner needs to wait for the Odin tar upgrade. I wouldn't touch something from the retail upgrades. It's going to have to be specifically for my DE phone. I don't care if I'm the last person on Earth to get Lollipop.
One question. Will the Odin tar come from Samsung or will some developer compile it from source?

I think they kind of missing something...
i also flash firmwares in spft..
no missing imei, too..
all they have to do is flash using "Firmware upgrade" not download only.. if they use "download only" absolutely they will loose their imei..
Flashing using "Firmware upgrade" option will make your imei intact in your phone.
now if you didnt do that, imei will be gone..all you have to do is manual writing of imei in your phone..there are theads here on how to do that..
hope it helped

Sorry.
Off topic.
I'm in a little problem.
Two problems I've face.
1. After install phoenix rom on my XP I've lost Cwm recovery. How I install Cwm. Is it the same process to install cwm like XP stock rom?
2. I think Gmail has bug. Unfortunately Gmail has stopped. Why? To solve this problem, I've tried many ways what I know.
Plz help me. Thnx.

Bro I have flashed the ROM <10 times and used always download only and their is no imei missing.
The difference between download only means your phone will fully flash.(all partition gets formatted and are flashed again)
But in firmware upgrade phones get upgraded.(No data,cache etc partition get formatted).

1. Yes the process for cwm flashing is same.
BRI I'll advise u to use twrp recovery it is better than cwm.In twrp u can also flash ROM with otg.And many other features.
TWRP link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62924875
2. I think you have not done factory reset after flashing the ROM.
If you have already done factory reset than,use root uninstaller or es explorer and uninstall the gmail and the install again from playstore.:good::good:

You can place an ruu zip on sdcard for returning to stock and grab the ota but you will need to backup your data etc before hand as ruu will wipe your device

What variant are you? Unbranded or carrier branded? You don't need to wipe, Forgot to add you need to go in downland mode to flash the zip when you enter it will ask you if you want to flash or not

This happened to mine, but went away after a day or so. Still don't know why it happened, but it hasn't recurred.

Returning mine tomorrow from where I purchased hopefully I can swap for a different device this is the worst thing I've ever owned, Also seems to be a common fault on this device friend of mine had not long after release but was worse then this, Saw other people with it too on other forums
