First of all! it takes some time! so don't despair at first try.
--- We will install the kingroot.net (APK) and of course type *#0808# and select the last option.
--- at this time the phone will reboot. (it should be connected to a wifi)
--- start the kingroot app and let it work
--- while kingroot is working we will start an adb session with command "adb shell"
--- when The process in phone is at 30% type "su" in adb session
--- once with root permission we are going to type these line of commands one over one the fastest you can.
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p" after the "..0p" type first 10, later 13, 14, 15 and 16.
Example:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 (enter line)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 (enter line)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 (enter line)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 (enter line)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 (enter line)
--- every time you enter a line the adb session will popup the message "fail to write no space" or something like that. DON'T WORRY keep typing.
--- At the end of this the phone will reboot for the bootloop but when it boots will show signal and "emergency calls only" message.
--- If you check in Bsaeband will say the right number and no "unknown"
--- Now thanks to Octopus box and their certs support! Write the new cert
--- Everything OK! Phone working and unlocked!
If you want to push thanks I'm okay I should upload images but i was so scared with the phone so I decide to not move anymore xD
If you want to Donate! even a cent! it's good paypal. com /cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9MJHWHVJW3S94
What is it unlocking?
It has already been available for some time. Credits goes to Bisco, at forum.gsmhosting.com/

No, it just fixes the boot-loop due to a corrupted baseband. You will have to wipe the EFS partition and reset the MSL with a box that supports the features; Z3X, Octoplus, Etc... Then, write the cert file in order to get the network functioning.
this is cool.
could you write a .bat file to just run this operation automatically rather than having to type really fast?
(fyi - my baseband is fine. i was just curious if a .bat file would work as it might be helpful to anyone needing to utilize this method.)

Hi! Here in México. I did try to bring the phone to a samsung support for warranty. They told me that this fix is in warranty police but well I'm in México so they couldn't bring me warranty service. You shouldn't do this method and with the bootloop issue go for your new phone :good: They take this issue as Baseband chip error and replace the board!

I tried to reset my flash counter and binary status according to:

I've rooted the phone and installed CWM 6. I tried to apply the zip in CWM but got Signature verification failed.
The easiest way for me was to do it directly on a ssh console (I used SSH Droid Pro): I unzipped the file from the post linked above and entered the following commands on a root ssh console:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1 count=1 seek=3145732

Hi, bit of a noob - not sure if i have the terminology right but i have a Note II N7100 and need to do some forensics for a pal whos wife is possibly having an affair and hides it thru kik online chat not txts. I am planning to take an image to a 32gb microsd, move to PC,run winhex and finally testdisc over the resulting drive to hopefully recover some deleted sqlite db's!
I am going off this guide - forensicfocus.com/2012/09/12/android-forensics/ - I have rooted the phone all fine. But i am having a job with the "dd" command for example
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/extSdCard/image.img
This returns "/extSdCard/image.img - cannot open for write. No such file or directory"
Or dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/dev/block/vold/179:33/image.img
returns "/dev/block/vold/179:33/image.img - cannot open for write. Not a directory"
Ive used "diskdigger" to look for images and devices are:
/system 2gb (/dev/block/mmcblk0p16)
/efs 20mb (/dev/block/mmcblk0p3)
/cache 1.34gb (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12)
/data 10.6gb (/dev/block/mmcblk0p16)
/storage/extSdCard, 29gb (dev/block/vold/179:33)
Any help or links on the syntax appreciated greatly
Off the top of my head the first thing I would try is sending the dd image to the internal sdcard first, then moving it to the external later. Might be that it's having trouble going the extra step away from the device.
You could always just plug it into a computer and use adb to pull the dd image(s) directly to the computer and skip putting them on the phone at all. It's what I would do to minimize my residual impact on the device at hand.
Also, try naming them as the mmcblk.img corresponding to what partition you are pulling, makes it easier to go through later.
Try this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/storage/extSdCard/system.img bs=4096
This should give you a dd of /system (which is /dev/block/mmcblk0p13, not /dev/block/mmcblk0p16).

Hi, i'm stuck on TWRP 2.8.7.1 after a failed attempts to update LineageOS via OTA.
I cannot boot in bootloader nor in system, it always shows TWRP.
I found everywhere that in this case you should use these command lines :
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
but it gives me "no such file or directory" error :
Code:
~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd: can't open '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota': No such file or directory
~ # ls /dev/block/platform/
7824900.sdhci 7864900.sdhci
These are the only files I have in /dev/block/platform/
I don't know why but I can't update TWRP via TWRP : when I try to flash the image it just proposes me to flash the boot partition (not the recovery).
What could I do ?
I forgot to mention I flashed the correct crackling LineageOS image afterward, and it worked, but I'm still blocked in TWRP.
I handled it !
I just changed the command line to :
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc
Too bad I completely wiped all my phone trying to make things work. I hope it will be useful to someone !
Hello, same twrp loop with 3.0.0 or brick with twrp 3.0.3 by fastboot
I find "fastboot continue" to boot in system
I'm testing with last nightly,
after update twrp with playstore

This finally saved me. I was trying the same two commands that you started with and got the same "no such directory..." error and your new commands worked. That was a tense few hours.
So it's been a while since I played with ROMs on my v521, but i just upgraded to TWRP 3.1.1-0, and tried to update lineage to the newest nightly. I'm not swuck in a boot-loop.
I've run the commands in terminal that fixed the issue last time I ran into it:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
To no avail - terminal says it can't find the files.
I've wiped everything, reformatted data, reinstalled TWRP, etc.
What's next? How can I break out of the loop?
I fixed it. Grabbed the wrong bookmark. Should have run:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc

You saved my butt with this, OP! Thank you!
For those who stumble onto this, the "terminal" he's referring to is the TWRP terminal that is accessible in TWRP>>Advanced>>Terminal.
Thanks for this fix! Could someone please tell me how to type an equal sign (=) in the TWRP terminal keyboard? I can't find it anywhere. I managed to give the tablet these commands with the adb shell.
