[Q] Tmobile gn2 brick

Hi I was able to root my tmobile gn2 using a guide which worked perfectly fine. But I wanted to unroot my phone but due to incomplete research and knowledge my phone is now bricked. The guide i followed didn't specifically mention regarding US carriers so I went ahead and tried to unroot with other GT-7100 firmwares available and when I tried to flash with ODIN i kept getting failures and now it is stuck in the "firmware upgrade encountered an issure. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried it was just an error with the firmware so i tried another one, but nonetheless it failed and somehow my binary count went up to 3.
I tried going into recovery but it doesn't work, but I am still able to get into the ODIN download screen.
I'm not really sure what to do at this point.
I would really appreciate any help

Did you try the method here?

Just download that rom and follow the steps to install it. Hopefully that works for you.

Since tmo galaxy note 2 has its own forum only download roms or any other firmwares from there so you do not risk bricking yoyr device.

I actually did look through the thread but I was too afraid to do anything else since I might make my situation worse, but I think I might go ahead and try it.
I just follow the same procedure right? download the zip file and flash it with odin?

Flash CWM Recovery with odin. Once that is done flash rom through the recovery.

You have to add the rom file to your sdcard first though

No need sdcard when you flash through PC and that is only option for you now.
What exactly your phone model ?

How is that going to help to get an imei number back? Thats a link to a uvalj1 modem.
The man is trying to get his imei number back. And we all just about know from intuition that he doesnt have a backup. Id send him to the galaxy s3 thread by peoplearmy that details method that DOES work on our phone using nv reader to back up or inject an imei number into the system.
I just dont have the link and cant find it
But flashing modems isnt going to do nothin at all.
OP GO TO THE GALAXY S3 FORUMS FOR TMOBILE find and download those tools. Follow the instructions PROVIDED there and try to INJECT an imei into your phone since im pretty certain that you dont have a backup. Stop following links and flashing random files from people that know even less than you about fixing the problem.
Your taking art advice from the blind.

Need Stock Firmware/ROM for Glaxy S4 SGH-M919V (Videotron)

Hi I installed SwapSD on my sgh-m919v Galaxy S4 from Videotron but it totally screwed up my phone.. Now I get ''mtp has stopped'' ''settings has stopped'' and ''android.process.media has stopped'' each time I start the phone. I've been looking for the stock rom for my specific model (SGH-M919V) for hours but can't find it anywhere. I tried using SGH-M919 stock rom but it won't work even if I strictly follow the guide, ODIN tells me FAIL!! (Auth).. Could someone upload the stock rom for that specific model somewhere and give me the link please ?
I attached a screen capture from odin to show you what problem i get
Thank you

Not sure if you got what you needed but you can take the phone back to stock using Samsung Kies, just plug the phone in download mode select "tools" then "Firmware upgrade and initialization", input your phones info and off you go..
if you could also grab the rom downloaded by Kies and uploaded for us that'd be cool.

Unfortunately reverting back to stock with Kies has not worked for me either with that method.
Hopefully the stock firmware for this carrier will drop soon!

Bump

I too would like the stock firmware for this device before I start tinkering with it.
I am surprised however that odin fails while flashing the sgh-m919 firmware. I thought these devices were essentially the same.
Have you fixed your phone yet, and how so?

I've soft bricked my phone and would really appreciate a stock m919V firmware. I've installed a bad kernel and/or rom and even the partitions are all screwed up. Nothing to do without a m919v odin flashable image.
Anybody?

Sent in a request to samfirmware.com & samsung-updates.com to post the firmware. Hoping that they consider the request.
Maybe you could do the same? I'm not asking to spam them, but I suppose it'll have an impact if there's more than 1 person requesting the firmware.

Good luck flashing it back to stock and reviving your S4.

Awesome. I'm downloading right not, but since I'm not a paid member on hotfile I'll only know in an hour if it works. I'll keep everybody posted, hopefully I'll be able to flash it with odin.
I'm also wondering what the no-name firmware on sammobile is. They posted the videotron, wind, and mobilcity firmwares. Is the no-name one unbranded? We'll have to wait and see.

So I downloaded the videotron firmware and it worked. Everything is back.
I'll try the unbranded version to see what it does.

Did you install the stock firmware using the stock recovery?

I believe he would have flashed the stock firmware using Odin for Windows. At least that's how it is normally done.

I just downloaded the videotron firmware from the website, I didn't flash the recovery. It's .md5 format, so I've flashed it with Odin. The phone was on CWM recovery, but it doesn't really matter as the firmware flashes the stock recovery too.
So I just flashed the videotron image in odin, phone rebooted and everything is fine, I'm back to stock, including no root and stock recovery. The only thing that's still there is the fact that phone is unlocked. (I've used the method described in the forum to unlock it).
As for the other firmware, it has _ESK in the name. I'm 99.9999% sure it's Eastlink firmware, another mobile carrier in Canada. The other ones had _VTR and so on in their name.

thanks for the info

Hotfile is down
I'm looking for a factory image of any of the MDJ builds.... Hotfile is down so I can't get it... does anybody have a copy that they would be willing to upload for me.... I need it so I can reset and sell this phone ASAP to get christmas money. Thanks

No first's. ???
Pp.

Is the "Mobile hotspot" and "data" on the Notification panel (when you swipe your finger from the top of the phone) ???
Or is it the same as the Tmobile version, Mobile hotspot is on a separate app in the app drawer, and mobile data can only be accessed under settings menu?
Thanks

The nonhlos.bin version must match the bootloader version. For example, if you have the NB7 bootloader, you need to have the NB7 nonhlos.bin. Flash the proper nonhlos.bin.

Thanks for the reply. How can I find out what bootloader I have? I pretty much had rooted my MetroPCS S4 shortly after I bought it back in July of 2013. It was still using Jelly bean 4.2.2. with older firmware M919NUVUAMF2. I hope that info helps. Would I need to find a different nonhlos.bin file or update/upgrade my bootloader? I'm really SOL right now cuz I can't make phone calls. At least I can still recieve texts. Thanks again for any help?

July of 2013 means your warranty is up so tripping knox would be no issue. I'd completely update with the firmware then you can not worry about stupid mix match problems

One last question. I just download the huge M919NUVUFNI3_M919NTMBFNI3_M919NUVUFNI3_HOME.tar.md5 stock firmware file. In which slot do I put that in? I'm using Odin 3.09. The slots are labled: PIT, BL, AP, CP and CSC. Thanks again.

AP. Uncheck auto reboot, flash it, when done pull battery, back to download mode and flash it again and reboot. Just to be 100. Sometimes bootloader and/or modems have a issue writing to the device.

Thanks for the reply. How can I find out what bootloader I have? I pretty much had rooted my MetroPCS S4 shortly after I bought it back in July of 2013. It was still using Jelly bean 4.2.2. with older firmware M919NUVUAMF2. I hope that info helps. Would I need to find a different nonhlos.bin file or update/upgrade my bootloader? I'm really SOL right now cuz I can't make phone calls. At least I can still recieve texts. Thanks again for any help?

Edit: Looks like you're flashing the firmware...good choice.
If you've never flashed a different firmware then you would need the nonhlos.bin from the MF2 firmware. You can find that firmware at this link, under firmware...

Alternately you could just flash the new NI3 firmware like shiny suggested. It would be easier altogether. Your manufacturer warranty has expired so updating the bootloader is no longer an issue.

The firmware? No. Mobile odin doesn't flash bootloaders.
Modems should be able to yet I've never used it

S6e+ G928W8 (Canadian variant) DEODEXED ROOTED AND XPOSED ROM

Hello,
Here is an UPDATE this is a FULL S6e+ Canadian Variant Rom
First of All at this point you know that your phone should be rooted + you need a moded kernel or you will be stuck in a boot-loop ( you will find it in S6e+ international Thread )and this means BYE-BYE WARRANTY
Second do not forget to Backup in TWRP / CWM
The most important is: I'M not responsible if your phone went crazy
Now that you agreed for the 3 Warnings:
Download the ROM in your SD
Reboot in your TWRP / CWM recovery
Flash it
Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik/ART Cache
Reboot wait and wait maybe one more time wait (android will finish doing his Job) et Voilà.
What is in this ROM
A FULL ROM WITH ALL THE CSC CANADIAN
Volume is boosted
Native Call Recorder is Enabled
2nd Keyboard Symbol Enabled ( for eng_US and fr_CA )
Rooted
Xposed
Deodexed
As from my Side everything is working well . BUT STILL SO IMPORTANT DO A BACKUP AS WE DON'T HAVE YET A STOCK FIRMWARE.
When you Flash it you will have Rogers CSC . if you want another Canadian Carrier CSC,
once you phone is booted go to the dialer and type *#272*IMEI# its gonna prompt the Canadian CSC select the needed one click on install, the Phone will reboot Reset and install the selected CSC.

I know all the T-Mobile bloatware will be removed but I would like to keep one of them which is the "NAME ID" how could I do that?

just push it in system/ app/ create folder nameid / and set the permission

With the proper Kernel, would this ROM work for the standard T-Mobile S6 edge? Also does this ROM retain the T-Mobile WiFie Calling?

I dont know. . I did this rom cause we canadian do not have yet a stock firmware.

Can we install TMobile 928T ROM in our 928W8? I really want the Wifi calling feature. What's really the difference between these two models?

Do you know where we can download the Canadian version of stock firmware? My phone has turned out to be a brick because of the FRP lock (so stupid that forgot OEM unlock before factory reset the device), seems like I will have to use the stock firmware to make it work again... Or do you have any other suggestions? Only few information about 928W8, so hard to find one on the same boat...

Thanks for the reply. I am in the situation exactly like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/custom-binary-blocked-frp-lock-t3152054
Tried to flash TWRP using ODIN, but got the same error "custom binary blocked by FRP lock". Only download mode is available, in other words, only ODIN can help now.
Lots of discussions in the above link, but seems that the only working solution is to flash the stock firmware, which doesn't exist for 928W8 in Canada....

Yes, it is rooted. But the FRP lock stops me odin flashing the tmobile stock firmware, which I guess is still different from 928w8's stock firmware.... Odin always shows failed.....
