Please help me! Phone wont boot up and restoring in twrp fails

I was trying to install viper4android and it got out of hand. i decided to factory reset then restore a backup i had made earlier, when i try to do this it says it failed and then It asks me if i want to install supersu but i already have it installed so i put no. Also when i try to reboot it says Set Warranty Bit: kernel on the top right. What can i do? everytime i try to reboot it gets stuck there. Also on a possibly unrelated note the backup was compressed when i made it, do i need to decompress the file?

This will work. Download the stock tar from: http://www.shabbypenguin.com/getdownload.php?file=Sprint_Note_4-trltespr/Stock-NIE/N910PVPU1ANIE_N910PSPT1ANIE_SPR.zip
Get into download mode and use odin. You will be fine.

Thanks guys, this is my first Samsung phone it is very different from htc phones. So once the file is done downloading do i put the file in the AP slot and flash via odin?

Also will i need root again?

Yes, you will need to root again. Once you flash, you will be back stock as if you just got from store.
Without looking, Im pretty sure its AP.

So we are clear. Your talking about that N4 stock NIE file correct? If so, yes. Should be tar.md5.

Should be good to go. Just put in download mode (as looneytunes said earlier), connect device as well as inserting tar file in correct slot. Should work just fine. Please post back with results. Just want to make sure your good.
Did you check MD5? I find habit of doing so now to ensure its a good download.

It's kinda really hard to permanently brick these phones. As long as you can get to download mode you can usually get back with odin.

Help a developer with brick

hey guys I am developer and I got a bricked note 2.
If I go to philz touch recovery it says cant mount stuff and I cant flash anything.
In Odin it says Complete(write) operation failed.

I was on the cm nightly and than it did not start after some months. I tried to flash a lot of different stock roms and also tried different pit files. Seems to me like my internal sd is dead

I've asked for firmware/bootloader, not last custom rom. Last firmware is important to know to give an advice.
What stock roms have you tried?
Another option is to restore using Kies, tried?

Only reasonable chance I see is to flash any firmware above 4.2 through Odin. Mj5 (4.3) to NL1 (4.4.2)

Odin 3.09 is actual version and firmware you get HERE.
If I remember correctly there has been a change in partitions with Android 4.3, so hopefully not more than the firmware will be needed.

I assume you can enter download mode. When doing so, what do you see in the top left corner? If you DONT see a product name then i believe that means you have a failure.
If you DO see a product name then that's another question i am trying to figure out as well
Thanks

Then i believe you dont have the classic SDS issue. In that case the product name is blank.
I also have the same issue. No matter what i try (Kies or Odin) everything fails.
I sent the phone to a technician (http://gsm-technix.de/shop/) and he says the emmc chip has failed which he cant fix. Perhaps you have the same issue. But i cannot get absoulte answers if my (and your) symptoms are an SDS

1. Root+busybox+USB Debugging
2. Connect the tablet to a PC
3. Run program EFS Professional.exe
4. Go to tab Backup -> Device Filters -> select All Partitions
5. Go to a program EFS Professional directory and to look here for the new PIT-file SM-T705.pit

I don't need a pit anymore, it's totally dead and gone to the workshop.

Thank you sir for your post. The Pit file which you requested can be beneficial to other owners of the tablet SM-T705, which can use it to restore their tablet out of soft brick. I hope that your post will be useful to these people. Thanks

Bro get the latest twrp and flash it via Odin. Open twrp recovery and go to advance wipe. From there format all the partitions. Reboot recovery, mount the partitions and format them once again. Reboot the phone in bootloader mode and flash the stock firmware.

After u hv formatted the partitions namely system, cache, dalvik cache, data, etc. Flash the stock firmware u have used earlier using Odin. F u hv the pit file for the phone use it to repartition bt be very careful.

As it looks there are no partitions, so there's nothing to flush/format/mount.
You will have to use a correct PIT file to recreate the partitions.
However, this means that your EFS is gone too. I hope you have a good backup of that!
After the PIT, you can flash TWRP and ROM as you like

i read in a thread about the same problem as well, you either need a Firmware with pit file included, or other people say it's a cable issue, you need to change the cable, the cable is probably the problem, i had many Odin errors because of wrong cable.
did you try flashing TWRP recovery and see if it boots?

you don't need root to flash TWRP, there's a .tar file for it that can be flashed with Odin.
