Does anyone know where I could find an image of the stock L520VPUANA7 ROM? I can't find it on sammobile or samsung-updates. Or does anyone at least know when it is expected to be released?
Basically, I had updated to NA7 for the wi-fi calling, decided I didn't actually need it, and tried to downgrade to the MK2 version so I have a rooted device. However, it turns out that some idiot at samsung decided to make attempting to flash an older, official stock ROM not allowed and therefore the device should stop working and not boot. I can turn my phone on, and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini logo shows up for half a second, but immediately after that I get the error about
"Image size too large! W:1080 H:1920
display image fail
SECURE FAIL: KERNEL"
I can still boot to the odin download screen, and I have attempted flashing various different kernels and bootloaders, etc. but nothing works. I am assuming that if I could flash the official NA7 firmware, then it would work again since that would make all the KNOX stuff happy.
Also, a side note for anyone that is interested, the KNOX values shown on the odin screen got set to 0xfffffffc (-4), not to 0x1 like most other people have seen. Does that mean anything special?
yes you can but.
yeah you can but wich kernels have u tried before meaby for flash bad kernel now is giving you problems you should be carefull if the jkernle that you flash is for your phone! i will find out about some fix for you let me see!:good::fingers-crossed:

i have a htc one m8, but i have the sprint version, i already have it tampered, unlocked and rooted so s-off enabled and also have it simlocked to work in my country but i have changed the recovey to twrp with the rooting procedure, but then searching on the internet i realized that an ota update can only be performed using a stock recovery so i flashed it again but using the flashify app to proceed the installation of the ota update, then it starts good but with 1/4 of the installation bar on green, suddenly it turns to a red triangle with no installation status bar and the installation doesnt complete i dont know what to do please help!!
Sounds like it's failing because your ROM isn't stock enough. Unlocking can remove some default apps as well, which can break it. There are plenty of people that have experienced this, a search should dig up the information you're after.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/able-to-ota-t2815910 try that, flash the preload zip, and the stock recovery, and pls tell me if it works, cz i'm in the same condition as you, but i don't have an ota to test it yet

i think the apps you need to reflash are calculator, flash light, 7digital, and the stickers effects for the cam

He can't flash this as this is specific preload for .707.
He needs the sprint one ... he should post his problem in Sprint HTC One M8 forum

Hello people, I am a noob here.
I have T999 and i had it working on 4.3 then i wanted to downgrade to 4.1.1 so i can unlock it with region lock away (thats what i did with my S4)
but then after i was done, i wanted to upgrade to 4.3 and since i cant do that through OTA (tried triangle away, no luck) i thought i can just flash 4.3 through clockwork recover. thing is i think i flashed the wrong one, and i bricked my phone.
after following instructions and got it to boot up to recovery mode, eject SD and do all ODIN work, phone still doesn't turn on without the Unbrick sd
please help:crying:
So it does boot with the sdcard in it, right?
What firmware are you trying to flash with Odin? What version of Odin?
What does it say in the message box? (Copy into a post)

tried these two
T999UVUEMJC_T999TMBEMJC_TMB.zip
T999UVDLJC_T999TMBDLJC_TMB.zip
sorry cant post outside links in here i guess
even tried flashing pit file with the whole process and am still stuck, one weird thing i noticed is the back of the battery says I747 which is ATT
but recovery and ABOUT say its T999. tried Kies to restore but i get an error too
You probably just need to use the NC2 firmware. And if the I747 is printed on the casing (not the sticker), that's normal. If it wasn't a T999, the debrick for it wouldn't work.

have to clarify it says I747 behind the battery ON the back of the phone, not the case or box. but when going into recovery mode it says T999, am guessing someone changed things around before i bought it? the weird part is when i install i747 it takes att sim and works, and when i flash t999 firmware it takes tmobile fine too.
am still stuck at this roadblock, i even tried stock bootloader files like
aboot.mbn
dd
rpm.mbn
sbl2.mbn
sbl3.mbn
tz.mbn
i believe this should fix the issue but not yet
Dont flash partitions individually. Very good chance of a very hard to fix brick....trust me.
If it says I747 on the sticker, I might wonder, but if its printed on the inner casing, on the plastic middle housing, alk T999's have that. Its just usually covered by the sticker.
Have you tried fladhing NC2 firmware? If you're using an NC2 debrick.img, that's the ONLY firmware that'll work.
I have tried nc2 and even tried kies firmware update. still only turn on by sd
Ill put together a recovery flashable NC2 firmware package you can try. Might be a little later before I can get to it though...

Just re-read the OP, can you let me know exactly what it was you flashed that caused the brick?
If I know exactly what was flashed I might be able to give you exactly what you need to fix it...maybe.

idk whats the OP is, sorry and i honestly don't know what have i flashed. all i know it was 4.3 (plus i am not advanced at all this)
if the unbrick sd turns on the phone everytime, can i somehow duplicate it with the mmcblk0? assuming thats power management files partition
The debrick sd card has 14 separate partitions on it. So one of those was overwritten when you flashed whatever it was you flashed. Had it been something in the stock firmware, flashing that would've fixed it. So without knowing which partition was overwritten, we won't know what you need. It depends on which it was whether or not we can actually do anything more to help.
And you can't just copy the sd to your device. It doesn't work that way and if you forced it you'd end up with all sorts of problems and probably an unusable, unfixable device.
Hello all
A couple months back I bought what I thought was a Note 4 SM-910F it has had a problem sending SMS to any international prefix number e.g +33 and connectivity here in UK on EE is not amazing.
I did some investigation using CPUz and discovered it is an SM910V - even though 'About Phone' reports it as an SM910F
the ebay seller has disappeared, so I am stuck with it
Cpu-z reports it jas a Verizon SM-910V bootloader with the OS (5.0.1) for an SM-910F
Bootloader: N910VVRU2BOG5
Build UD:LRX22C:N910FXXU2COC6
Kernel version. N910FXXU2COC6
SO: I tried flashing stock 5.1.1 for SM910V using Odin and now have the dreaded Verizon Software Assistant - soft brick
What I have tried already
I have read that the VZW software won't install if you don't have a working VZW phone - I've tried and it does not install for me on either Mac or PC
Smart Switch/Kies Emergency software recovery and initialization" option does not work
What are my options?
Any ideas what I can do to get phone at least working again?
1. re try Stock restore B0G5? with ODIN
2. Something with a PIT file - but which PIT file?
3. Catch a flight to the USA and go to a Verizon store to get it reset?
any help much appreciated

Just flashed the Pit file at the bottom of the post using the Pit button in Odin 3.11
Reboots perfectly:highfive:
Now back to Verizon setup:victory:
Hello XDA! First post here and I’ve been reading a lot since I got my phone. I seem to have found a solution, (maybe), but I'm not clear on a few vital things.
A little back story… my dad just gave me his Verizon Note 4. It was on Marshmallow, but has since been downgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1, N910VVRU2BPA1. From what I understand it still has the locked MM bootloader (?).
I’m planning to root the phone, but only if I can further downgrade it to Kitkat 4.4.4. I’ve read through the thread “Stabilized process used to unlock Bootloader” and it seems it should unlock the bootloader. However, I’ll end up with a “Developer Edition” phone. This leads to my questions…
1) Once successfully rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, will I be able to downgrade the phone to Kitkat by just flashing the firmware in Odin? I really don’t care if I lose root, I just want Kitkat on the phone.
2) Can I just flash the “retail” version of Kitkat from Sammobile or do I need a “developer edition” Kitkat (if there even is one)?
3) Can someone advise me if what I imagine might be possible is even doable?
Any help is greatly appreciated! I’m new to this so if these are just funky questions, please excuse. Lots to learn! Thanks so much!!!
A little help please!
Someone must know this.
Can I or can't I flash the "retail" Kitkat firmware onto a "supposed" Dev Edition rooted to unlock the bootloader?
I hope someone can clarify this before I do something stupid!
Thanks!

Thanks, but I don't need help doing it, I just need someone to answer the questions so I don't mess up the phone.
Yes you can, make sure to unlock bootloader first. But when you flash you will loose bootloader unlock. I have a guide where I could use the lollipop bootloader and use kitkat. I really love kitkat and with root you have lots of potential for battery savings and more!
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
If you would like to downgrade the bootloader add a twrp custom recovery and use the kitkst method I have and you can have the best phone, I also would recommend you buying a zerolemon battery and case.
But if you do just want to have full stock and have all the bloat ware on it you can like you stated unlock the bootloader and then flash the retail kitkat and your all set and downgraded

Thank you very much for responding! I very much appreciate it!
I don't care to keep root and just want the phone on Kitkat. In the future I may decide to root it and play around with roms and such, but not right now. I can now go ahead and attempt it with confidence. I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks again! :good:
Well, tried all kinds of stuff and it was a no go.
Was able to get the phone rooted finally... had to use KingOroot. Kingroot failed to work no matter how many versions I tried. Once rooted, checked download mode and it indicated Developer. However, I was unable to install retail KK or KK stock restore in Odin 3.10 and 3.09. Since the flash failed, putting it into recovery ended up in an error about "Software update failed"... use a PC, blah, blah, blah. Wouldn't let me go anywhere in recovery.
Decided to try flashing LP 5.1.1 back to the phone and it flashed ok in Odin 3.09. Phone is back up, but lost root, (expected), and I'm back again at square 1. At least the phone isn't bricked! LOL!
Maybe the problem is that this phone has an MM bootloader so eventhough it's unlocked, you can't flash KK to it? Don't know, but I guess I'm back to trying to find this out.
Good experience so far eventhough this attempt didn't get me anywhere! Well... at least I know how to root it and unlock the bootloader!
Hi !
I have now, without success, tried to install custom bootloader on a chinse tablet, brand name BDF.
Even tho the installation seems successful, it still boot into the preinstalled chinse bootloader, and that bootloader wont let me flash another ROM to the tablet. The tablet is running android 4.4 with some preinstalled kids firmware and it is extremely slow, thats why i want to install another custom ROM to it.
Hope anyone have a solution
I had soft bricked my BDF-819, 8inch Tablet.
The Tablet was running under Android-7.0
Please help me to get a custom rom/firmware for this tablet.
PLEASE.
