Or get Mobile Odin and enable ever root. Then just flash with Mobile Odin

It won't flash bootloader which having fix for exynos exploit, so first time better to go with pc odin, or flash bootloader separately.

Your phone becomes completely unuseable and has to be sent back to Samsung for mainboard replacement. This is known as a brick because it has no function other than weight.

You may be able to fix it by flashing a rom wich is not a full package, but has al PDA PHONE files etc in ODIN, so it also flashes the baseband, wich may get it to work

Dont do that, youre trying to fix your baseband, that wont happen by flashing an unstable rom...
By the way, you can still do everything on your phone or are there things not working???

sorry for my bad english xD
why when i try to do factory reset its writing me:
E:format_volume:make_extf4fs failed on devv/block/mmcblk0p2
its can be the reson that i dont have a sound?
i realy doesnt undersending in that and i dont know what is brick but i read somewhere and they told that its a brick and i need to change something in my phone...its true?
im trying to install S5660XXKC6 android 2.2.1 froyo and its stuck on the logo.
i try to get recovery but its stuck to in the logo..
i realy dont know what to do
plzzzzzzzz help me!!! can i to replay to my first rom that i get from where i buy this phone..
or can i to restore to that but i dont did backup
First: calm down.
Second: did you by any chance miss this thread?
Did you try to unlock the phone by any chance?
What method did you use?
If the answers to the above are "yes" and "stl5" then I'm sorry to tell you that your phone needs to visit an authorized service center.
The stl5 method often wipes the IMEI, rendering phones unusable.
Reflash the complete MUGK3 stock ROM and go from there.
Good luck,
Darkshado
ahh yea the answear is yes thx dude i will go to visit there
i saw in back of the phone that i have the number of the IMEI:357331044267407
if its could be help?(sorry for the sppaming but i dont have a phone 2 weeks)

yes, it can restore back your warranty and you should take note of that your "bin count" should be "0"
if the SSC in your place are strict, they will check that but if their not asking, it's better to keep quiet or just say " Kies failed to update!!" as an excuse

Yes, unroot your phone and install stock fw
Unrooting gives your warranty back and if you are in Custom ROM, you can install Officail firmware in your mobile.
for root and unroot your mobile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378660
download root and un-root zip files from 1 & 3 posts in above link.
Rooting just adds some app packages i.e. superuser,busybox etc..it does not do anything to the hardware or the system ..Unrooting makes the phone back to normal state ..no problem at all with warranty..and most service centres dont check for Bin count so youre good to go

Bin count only increases if you flash anything thats not stock using Odin. You can flash stock ROM and kernel and your bin count will still be 0. (If it was 0 in the first place. xP)

1)If U just simply root.. thn just unroot
2)If u root nd install sum custom rom.. flash a stock rom using odin(flashing via odin unroots automatically).. make it just like what they sold to u!
3)If root, flash a custom kernel nd whatevr which increased ur bin count! flash doky's bin count reset.. thn do whatevr I said in 2!
Just return it like they sold to u.. that's the main thing! Make sure they donno about the nasty things u did to it ever!

Hello guys.. I just needed some help before my phone dies with the Sudden Death Syndrome..
I had the eMMC check done and it states my phone has an insane chip... clearly means it can get affected...
I am on omega v17 rom... with perseus kernel.. everything is good till now.. better working with the custom rom and kernel..
But the real question I wanto ask is should I give the phone for replacement for the new motherboard.. ?? My current emmc checkup states
Type - VTU00M
FwRev - 0xf1
And after replacement I'll get
FwRev - 0xf7
So should I replace my piece before it gets fried???
My binary count is 3 at present so should I reset that too before approaching the service center??
Please help...

Just b sure not to flash the latest modem rom as if emei goes missing than you will be another mess than solve that rather flash http://www.hotfile.com/dl/203112196/98a0ae2/N7100XXDMC3_N7100ODDDMD1_INU.zip.html version(non rooted), http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230250 (rooted version) and you are good to go stock rom will get u stock recovery than use traingle away to get your flash counter 0 make sure you enable usb debugging
create efs backup while in stock rom to keep your phone safe from probs if it arise later due to any custom rom flashing
So I'll flash this one to be safe... after flashing wil reset the counter using triangle away app.. and then to be more safer I'll unroot from the super user app..
Are the steps correct??

yes it is just flash and reset counter . remember to unroot and check the device status if its normal bfr taking to sc
They will not replace it unless you experience the effects of sds. Your in safe hands as long as your not in version 4.1.1. Don't worry to much.
But I cant just stay on stock rom and stock kernel till I start getting problems... I mean to say once affected by sds I wil not be able to get in recovery mode to flash the stock things again...
I'll give it a try... lets see wat they say at sc
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
or maybe this can be risky but u can make ur phone die via sds and send it to service center?!?!
Hahah... I cant make my die on purpose.. well I'll do a thing.. I'll wait till I get symptoms of sds like lagging freezing n reboots. . Then immediately I'll flash everything to stock n approach sc

[Q] Root and OTA update

Hello Guys,
My note 2's warranty gets over this month. I was thinking of rooting now using kingo as it seems the easiest method for a noob like me. Can you someone tell me if OTA updates will be problem after the root? Will a be able to get it as KitKAt is just around the corner?
Moreover is my decision to stick with kingo correct?
Appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

No, buddy . After rooting you cannot recieve OTA updates . It will say that ur device has been modified . You can root manually rather using kongo . And when kitkat will arrive then just go to sammobile firmware page and download the firmware and flash through odin

Thanks Ashraf bhai. I was under the impression that if i dont freeze anything i can get the OTA update easliy. If thats not the case i think i will wait for kitkat and then root as this is definitely not my cup of tea.
Flashing through odin wipes the phone clean and i am not much of a back up guy.

If u have stock recovery u can do OTA even after root... Do some changes before OTA
1.Install xposed framework
2.Install waanam xposed
3.Open wanaam xposed, go to security hacks.. ✔ check on fake system status..
This thing bring backs ur system status official from modified..
then check for OTA & u can downlad OTA

You do not need to worry about OTA update as you can receive it with the method mentioned above.
Can you tell me what do you want to do after rooting so that I can guide you correctly.

I have my guide but that involves flashing a custom recovery.
But that is if you want to change your ROM.
That method works 100 percent.
If you want to stay on the stock rom use CF-Autoroot.

There is no method to root without tripping knox on NA1 and ML4.
But you can get ota updates even after tripping knox.
And you will have problems with root access on stock rom because of knox.
If you like touchwiz head over to DN3 ROM. I use it as a daily driver and it's rock stable.

We would love you to stay on stock..! But the moment you get into a habit of playing around with things you will not go back..!
I am using Kitkat since 1 month..! No issues at all..!! Before OTA comes to you we get OTA on xda LOL..!!
Life is really fun being here.. You can guess that by the numbers of post i have made..!
I have used Note 3 features.. S5 features..! SHOWOFF..!! Being a punjabi that comes naturally to me..!!
YOu need to see your download counter in order to check if you are Knoxed..! even if you are does not matter,,

Root by flashing a Pre-rooted Rom that has an old bootloader IF that works ..! The max you can do is SOft brick which is easly recoverable..

thanks.. will have a look. All this seems too complex to me as a matter of fact. I get a pretty good battery life on my phone so never though of rooting till now as the warranty is over).

Even my rom didn't have any problems but I wanted note3 and s5 features and touchwiz kitkat and hence I switched over to DN3 ROM.

Bhai dekh..! Life is ws not so easy
We would love you to stay on stock..! But the moment you get into a habit of playing around with things you will not go back..!
I am using Kitkat since 1 month..! No issues at all..!! Before OTA comes to you we get OTA on xda LOL..!!
Life is really fun being here.. You can guess that by the numbers of post i have made..!
I have used Note 3 features.. S5 features..! SHOWOFF..!! Being a punjabi that comes naturally to me..!!
YOu need to see your download counter in order to check if you are Knoxed..! even if you are does not matter,,

Root by flashing a Pre-rooted Rom that has an old bootloader IF that works ..! The max you can do is SOft brick which is easly recoverable..
And then explore the world or ROMS..!!
We are there to help you

Thanks for the encouragement :laugh: can you point me towards a good and simple pre rooted rom where it also lists the steps to be followed. I need a proper tutorial to get my hands dirty Never flashed anything before.

No Wifi after Flashing back to Stock 4.2.2

Hi I recently helped my buddy UnBrick his phone. I odin flashed him to stock 4.2.2 . He cant turn on wifi now. I myself own the
Att galaxy s4 and had the same problem that was fixed by editing the build.prop . I am helping him over the phone and he cant find the line that needs to be edited . Are the build.prop for Tmobile gs4 and att gs4 similar? And are there any other fixes for this issue. I am going to suggest he wipes data and dalvik and cache . I just need to know if there any other solutions just in case these don't work.. So far this is all I could find..
Thanks in advance

Yes it is .. I didn't flash the att stock JB though I flashed the tmobile version .. He was able to run Skyfall which supports any gsm galaxy s4 . But I just remembered that I did attempt to put the latest kitkat on his phone and it failed in odin .. But before I did that I flashed the newest modem/baseband on his phone
im gonna go ahead and revert back to an earlier modem and see if that helps . I ran into numerous problems with his phone and it boiled down to having multiple bad downloads . He has a crappy internet connection which I still didn't think that would be a problem. But when we came to my house where I have Charters 100Mbps internet I downloaded the same files and had success . Either way I think flashing the new baseband could solve his issues . For the longest time I tried helping this guy get into the flashing world and when I would try to talk him through it on the phone I always ran into the problem of him getting a fail when flashing in recovery or Odin but as soon as he came to my house and I tried it I would have success right away...

I think im gonna flash the jelley bean baseband/modem on his phone . It has the newest modem on it which I just remembered that now . I put the latest kk stock on his phone in odin but flashed the modem first but the stock rom failed . So maybe the fact he is on jellybean now with kk modem could be the problem. I dint think it would matter but itys worth a shot ..Thanks for the feedback

Just FYI, the line you were originally asking about in the build.prop is "ro.securestorage.support=true" Just switch true to false and see how it works.

Thanks for the heads up. I had been trying to get my buddy to do it while talking him through it. He seems to not be able to find it . Not the smartest dude .. By flashing Kt kernel it did fix it .. But he seems to get a lot of fc with it .. I need to just get his phone over here again cause there seems to be zero problems when I handle it ..
