I have a brand new Defy, barely a month old. And since i found it so easy to mess around with my Milestone i went right ahead and tried to flash a new custom rom into my "barely out of the box" Defy.
After flashing the new rom my phone wouldn't start at all!! I freaked!!
Theere it lay, totally dark and blank screen with the white led on and only the comp and RSD Lite being able to detect the phone in the bootloader mode. Volume Up/Down w/ Power didn't do anything! Nor did anything else!
After a whole day of frantic thread searching and googling, i still couldn't find any answer! I could see that people actually returned their phones or just gave up!
Finally, i started to serach for the original rom that came with my phone but even after hours of searching i couldn't find a single copy of it! Just before i gave up, in one last attempt i found the only copy of my original rom and i flashed it and it worked!!
So if all else fails, please keep a note of your exact rom version and flash it back to unbrick your phone.
Hope this helps someone out there who freaked out the same way i did..

Try this thread.. You should be able to solve your problem.. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
I know i have another thread but its changed. My galaxy nexus is gsm and my brother accidentally flashed verizon stock on it. Now my nexus can only go in download mode and fastboot mode. I have tried flashing stock using odin and fastboot however it goes back to the google logo and just stays till it dies. I also cant access recovery mode because it goes to the google logo. 30 dollars reward thanks
Boot to the bootloader (Fastboot/Download) and give us the information on the bottom. Also give us the link to whatever you're trying to flash. I'll dig up the return-to-stock thread and see if I can't walk you through it. Gotta save that Nexus!
Also it'd be easier if you got on IRC. You can find a lot of us (including me) on irc.freenode.net in the channel #gn so stop on by!

Wug's Toolkit???
have you tried Wug's Toolkit???
I've bricked mine for the same reason for flashing a GSM rom alpha state on a LTE Nexus.
All I had to do was hit the restore button. And it was fixed in ten minutes. I was able to save my data thanks to dropbox. Cuz I just so happened to back up my data there a lot by saving my recovery back ups
But your case is different. Use wug's toolkit and ATTEMPT to save your data by using the backup feature. MAYBE u can still recover your apps. Maybe you broke your CWMR and damaged the system.res or something. So just flash stock+Unroot. As long as you can fast boot I think you can fix it like me.
Give it a try if you have not done this yet. And let me know how it out. =p
Hope it works for u just as well as it did for me.

could you gimmie alink for that toolkit
Unbrickable
Also you can't truly brick a Nexus device. ESPECIALLY a GSM variant.
So you can fix this. I'll try to find another way just in case this way fails. but also there is a tool on the right side of the panel do the Wug's Toolkit panel. Never actually used them, but maybe it can make your phone work again without even having to flash stock+Unroot.
But again I'll try to find a another method of how this can be fixed. Hopefully someone has a tool to fix this.

Since I just registered and all but don't worry I'm experienced with this stuff.
Just type Wug's toolkit v1.3 Galaxy Nexus and it should be on Android Central
. Hope this saves ur $400-$600 google device. =p
Know how u feel on this.
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------
This should work because I just read the website and it says that if you flash stock+unroot it should unbrick your device. And maybe an OEM lock is required but your a GSM variant so I dunno since u came out of the factory unlocked.
If you were to fix your Nexus Device u don't have to do your $30 reward.
1. I'm 16. =p
2. Don't have a way of receiving money except by mail, which is a big hassle of nonsense.
3. Just wanted to help since I know how u feel.

Dear friends,
I'm new here...i have been hours and hours checking and studing the forum but nothing clear i got.
I have seen people with similar problem but nobody show a solution.
I got to root the phone and delete some apps i didn't need. But in some moment i deleted some file relationed with the launcher, i think.
Then, the screen turned black and when reboot the system all reboot correctly until appeared on the creen the words "android" with a little moving and that's all. The system don't reach the next pass and the launcher don't load.
I tried to wipe data/factory reset on android system recovery but nothing happends...i reboot the phone and the load system stop on the same image.
I don't know if i need to get the update.zip file to recover the phone or i need to install a rom.
Any idea? What can i begin for?
Thank you in advance
I can get start the phone but only can see calls, messages and camera applications. Home application is a black screen.
Anybody knows this mobile? Any web to find information or roms for it? Any launcher i can install from pc? Because google play aplications don't install automatically.
Only i know this is BML S4 but don't find any information about it on web.
Thanks you!

Help me! I can not find the rom (format "pac") for my phone. And 'an imitation of samsung s4.

Hello together,
colleague son have the same phone. The phone was running with android 4.1. I dont know what happened then.
The phone dont start. Only black screen. Can i root it and make a new firmware on it ?
Where can i find a new firmware and how i do it ?
Thanks a lot.
micky1067
Press both volume down (or up I do not remember) and power. The phone goes into recovery mode and restarts. Hello
@falconeroap
Hello.... thnaks for your advice. But I have do it very often. No reaction.
Or how long i must hold the buttons ? Maybe the phone is broken.
The first thing to do is to remove the battery for at least 15 seconds. Once this is done, then follow the steps that I've described. Hold the keys down for about 10 seconds. If the phone works should come on. Have you tried changing the battery?
---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------
What happened to you has happened to me too. The only way to restart our phones is to find a rom format "PAC" with its "FDL" files. If you can not find the ROM (firmware) we can share our phones. The procedure is very simple.
I know this way. I have also change the batterie. No chance. But i will test it again. Normaly the phone has no recovery when you buy one, or ?
I think is a trouble with the electronic, maybe.
but thanks...

root bml s4
Mauricio, there is a program that allows you to root your phone but simply advise you not to do it. My phone does not work anymore just because I uninstalled a system file ... If you want the procedure and the program will send them to you but you have to promise to send me the firmware (which you can obtain from the phone)
Rooting Chinese BML phone
Hi Falconero, thanks for your reply.
I would appreciate you giving me the program/procedure to root my phone.
You´ll see, this phone has to little internal memory, so I decide to delete some preloaded apps
and then install those I really need on the sd card.
Thats why I need to root it.
Concerning the possibility of erasing some system file, I hope I´ll be deleting things as facebook app , etcetera.
Regarding the sending of the firmware of my phone, no problem. you just tell me how to do it and I will send it to you.
One more thing what do you need the firmware for?
:good:
Bml s4 root permissions
Mjp9119 Hello, I read your message just now. The firmware can send it to the following email address: mattei.flash @ libero.it. For root permissions, no problem. I have the program on another laptop that has taken my brother. Tomorrow night or Sunday should be back and I can send you the program. It 's very simple to use but be careful! Hello and thank you.
---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------
if you can not send the file via e-mail try to load it on https://rapidshare.com/home. You register, upload it and send me the link.
Hello, falconeroap
Chinese BML S4
Hi again Falconero,
As I said before I´m a newbie, I don´t know how to extract the firmware, you tell me how to do it and I ´ll send it.
What caused your phone to malfunction?
Was it the program by itself or was it you deleting some required file?
Thank you
Chinese BML

Hi, same problem here. i need this pac file :S
Helllo all,
i just received a Note 2 from a friend that suddenly stopped working.
It is a standard Note 2 early version (international model), no mods, no root.
when it is on usb charge , it shows the battery , with a non animating circle.
when i turn it on, it shows the white boot samsung logo text, GT N7100, and stays frozen there.
when i boot into factory recovery mode, i get a lot of red text with several mount failures, ending into the recovery menu
when i boot into Odin download mode, i can see the model name after the product name.
what i have tried so far:
per directions on samsung site, i have downloaded latest samsung usb drivers, Odin v 3.10.7 that should work with my version factory rom (TNL-N7100XXUFNI2-20141105083621).
the device is found by Odin (blue com line), the rom is loaded and sum checked in Odin, the write procedure Fails => NAND write fail.
then i thought ok, maybe the NAND is screwed up (as i seen in the red text), and found some sites talking about fixing the invalid arguments, as shown in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-LZvVLEC5o
I installed ADB, boot the phone into recovery.
With ADB list device , i can not find the phone
however when i choose in the phone: update through ADB
then i can list the device in ADB, but as sideload device.
there for i can not perform the rewrite procedure as shown in the video.
i am kinda stuck here, and do not know how sever the BRICK is.
and what way i should use to unbrick it, if that is still possible.
any suggestions/help would be appreciated
First of all: IT IS NOT SDS.
Second: You have done a couple of things that make no sense.
Either you didn't read the instructions on the vid or didn't understand:
The method shown needs either a booting device or a custom recovery
Third: There are a bunch of options to try
*Factory reset in stock recovery made?
*Recover device through Samsung Kies 3
*Flash OC1 firmware through Odin (I have no idea what you have linked above, can't open)
Hi Androidwizzard, what makes you sure that it is not SDS ?
# factory reset in stock recovery doesn't work => mount failures
# kies can not connect to the device, while it is not booted?
i tried to connect in recovery mode and download mode, nothing worked.
# i did try to flash device through odin with (OC1?) => NAND write fail
i didn't link to any file, it was just the name of the official ROM file. But if you wish to see a link , it is this:

Soft bricked device is no SDS - so simple
Only on 4.1.1 original firmware AND the insane chip too SDS is possible and by no means sure.
Kies is able to connect to unbooted device - I have tested a view times - a matter of driver maybe and it must be turned on.
The linked firmware is for t-mobile Netherland and you have that provider and you are from there?
# Only on 4.1.1 original firmware AND the insane chip too SDS is possible and by no means sure.
The device is factory default and on it's original firmware
# Kies is able to connect to unbooted device - I have tested a view times - a matter of driver maybe and it must be turned on.
driver and software are installed ok, laptop is clean , the problem is the device.
# The linked firmware is for t-mobile Netherland and you have that provider and you are from there?
obviously yes, the person from who the phone is has that provider and yes we are there...
@Androidwizzard have you ever had experience with EFS mount failures?
that occur out of nowhere, with simple daily use ?
Yes, I have and flashed newest firmware through Odin - needed more than one attempt but at the end success.
One time I used Kies3 to restore.

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with the process you described. And so i have a few questions. The systemless root....is that basically installation of superuser? Do any of these (systemless root, custom recovery) need to be specific to this version of the software? Would you be able to recommend a thread on how to perform this through odin?

First off some things you should do before ever flashing or rooting your phone.
1. Make sure ReActivation Lock is OFF. (Its in Settings>Security>Reactivation Lock = make sure its unchecked)
2. Turn on Developer options. (Goto Settings>About device and tap Build Number 4 to 5 times; then develepers options will be in settings menu, goto that and turn on USB Debugging)
3. You'll need Official Samsung Drivers HERE! Install this to your PC!
4. Always Backup Phone!! After you install TWRP.
IM gonna assume your on a Stock ROM. To root your gonna need to use Odin to flash TWRP, then once thats done we'll root from there.
You'll need these files :
1:
Odin3.11 from Here. It's straight from sam mobile. Is what I use and never have problems. You'll install this to your Windows PC.
2:
TWRP 3.0.2.0 tar file from Here. This file is only for the Sprint Note4 SM-N910P, So that better be the phone you have!! Download and save to PC! You can Thank bigbiff at this Thread.
3:
Lastly you need SuperSU Here! Thanks to Chainfire at this Thread! Download and save to your Phones SD card or Internal memory.
Now you have the files. Make sure you dont have samsung Kies running while installing or flashing your phone. Actually Dont have any other programs running when Flashing your phone.
1st - Install Samsung Drivers to your PC.
2nd - Install Odin to your PC.
3rd - Copy SuperSU zip file to your phone.
Now unplug your phone and turn it off. And open Odin Program as Admin. Now on your phone hold down the Vol down button + Home button + Power button at same time until a screen shows a Warning. then you'll press Volume up to continue to Download Mode.
Once in Download mode plug into usb cord to PC. Your pc should install some drivers then Odin will show your device as connected. Goto options tab in Odin and make sure all the boxes are unchecked except F. Reset Time.
Then click the log tab so we can watch the progress were gonna make. Then click the AP button and load the Twrp file you downloaded into that.
Click Start, Let it do what it does, dont touch anything until it done. Once down unplug phone and take out battery for 5 seconds.
Put battery back in and press Vol up + Home + Power until phone boots into Twrp Recovery.
Once in Recovery I sugessst to do a Full Backup.
Then you can Hit Install button in Twrp and find the Super SU file you saved on phone and Install and reboot when it says. Your ROOTED!!
Hope this isnt too confusing. It really isnt that hard. But it's easier to do than to explain.
FYI,
And Yes, systemless root is super SU in this case. All newer stock samsung roms can only be rooted with systemless root. System root won't work. There are ways to do it with custom roms and kernels though. And also there are other root apps like superuser, but this is the most common way.
Thanks aaron74 i was at work trying to explain between customers
Been away for a while so just now reading this thread. Many Thanks to you both for the links and detailed explanations. I will try this soon and advise how it turns out.
By the way, is this the same method to root a Sprint galaxy S4 on latest stock rom? Want to do this on my kid's phone also.
Oh and I assume this will trip KNOX correct?

Yes it will trip Knox.
And the s4, not sure exactly, but it will be very similar. But obviously have its own twrp file. Just goto it's forum and do a search for root. Something should pop up.
Ok thanks again for your help
Hay so its been awhile since i did any messing with my note 4. I wanted to be able to use android pay. But i read a comment about some system ui customized program and it said android pay still worked.

Have it on a S4 and it does not get hot. Yes, it is easy, at least on the S4. As far as I have used it, it has been stable.

THANKS! EASIEST ROOT EVER! I was going to downgrade to PE1 cause that's the only info I can find, thanks so much to the two who posted regarding this.
TIPS:
TWRP won't flash: I've had issues with TWRP where it won't flash in the past, this happened to me once again. It was going to an installing update screen after flashing, then some error message, then went to Samsung recovery instead of TWRP. SOLUTION: Pull battery after install, then it will stick. If needed rinse and repeat, eventually TWRP will install properly.
Hotspot: You can message some guy to get hotspot supposedly, a few messages above this one.
Knox: I couldn't disable knox first time, on second try it worked. I recall this happened last time as well on my note.
