HELP!! - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I flashed my phone back to stock. Accepted the OTA for 5.1.1. Today I took my phone off of my charger it went into a boot loop for some reason and wont come out. factory data reset and cache clear don't help. Samsung rep at best buy doesn't have 0g5 yet to flash. Does anyone know how to get a hold of the ODIN files to reflash my phone. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Not really sure whats going on over on that thread. So let me give you my comprehension of it. So my phone cannot be rooted with 5.1.1. So my question becomes how do I flash TWRP? Also, if I can enable TWRP can I flash CM 12.1? I am not up and running quite yet.
Thanks

So I tried fixing this beast at 2 am when I got home lol everything was a blur and I really was tired from work so nothing made sense. I just reread the thread and tried it. CM 12.1 IS UP AND RUNNING>>>>THANK YOU ALL SOO MUCH!!!

Did you flash the journal on zip immediately after flashing the rom?

Odin a modem...any modem...should solve your issue
sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
If it just won't make calls and stuff, try updating profile and then PRL. If it is FC'ing all over do a factory data reset, reflash the ROM and kernel, flash the journal on zip as John suggested, then redownload apps. Do not restore any data unless you are sure it is good and absolutely need it.
i cant make calls, text, internet, nothing , so i cant update the prl or profile. whats the journal? im fairly new to this ive been rooted and on the custom roms for a few months now.how do you do a factory reset.? this blows i gotta get it up and running. i appreciate the advice from all

*HELP*Corrupted Galaxy S II Software?!?!?

Hi Guys. I started a new thread about a week ago but no one has answered in a while and i'm really desperate, confused, and fear for the life of my phone. I had BeastMOD ROM II v3.0 for about a month and one night i turned it off for a minute and turned it back on and i had lost network, i checked and i had no IMEI or Baseband version. I tried a method from another user that is supposed to restore to stock and remove root and it did but it didn't fix the network problem and it would reboot my phone constantly. When i try to do a restore of my very first backup before installing any ROM it gives me a "MD5 mismatch!" error and am very confused. i would really appreciate if someone with free time stayed in contact with me to fix this until it is fixed and give some suggestions.
Did you ODIN back to stock? Or cwm back to stock?
Sent From My Herculean Wizard
I had the exact same problem with my co-workers phone. Since the unlock/efs files have been stashed away in our phone there is no hope in restoring the backups that the device automagically creates.
Your phone is a pricey media player. You need to explore your replacement options or seek a Samsung repair center to have the baseband fixed.

so are you saying that "I" can't fix it and that i should just give up or what could i do to fix it?
Isn't there any way to fix the baseband or IMEI problem, is this a problem with my radio?
The files that control your baseband/radio have become corrupt. It seems to happen at random. You didn't happen to be messing with heimdial(sp?) were you?
There is no way that you can fix your phone unless you go into a Samsung service center, steal their equipment, and learn how to use it.
Flash back to stock, unroot, and ______________. I work for T-Mobile so I'll let you fill that blank in yourself lolol.

Even if you ODIN back to stock the files in your efs directory do not get modified (hence why you keep your IMEI between roms.)

at random? so that means it wasn't my fault? bkz i rooted, flashed the ROM all correctly and was perfect for about a month and it just suddenly happened out of nowhere. I'm on a tight budget and just wanna get this nightmare over with. so do you have any method to return to stock and get rid of any evidence and then get it fixed by warranty? or is this good: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/

Thank you both
that should be good, but I believe the rom is still deodexed, but they don't really check for that anyways.
Deodexed?? Srry i'm not familiar with that

[Q] GSM Galaxy nexus Bricked -REWARD

I know i have another thread but its changed. My galaxy nexus is gsm and my brother accidentally flashed verizon stock on it. Now my nexus can only go in download mode and fastboot mode. I have tried flashing stock using odin and fastboot however it goes back to the google logo and just stays till it dies. I also cant access recovery mode because it goes to the google logo. 30 dollars reward thanks
Boot to the bootloader (Fastboot/Download) and give us the information on the bottom. Also give us the link to whatever you're trying to flash. I'll dig up the return-to-stock thread and see if I can't walk you through it. Gotta save that Nexus!
Also it'd be easier if you got on IRC. You can find a lot of us (including me) on irc.freenode.net in the channel #gn so stop on by!
Here's a link if you've never been there: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=gn&uio=d4
Wug's Toolkit???
have you tried Wug's Toolkit???
I've bricked mine for the same reason for flashing a GSM rom alpha state on a LTE Nexus.
All I had to do was hit the restore button. And it was fixed in ten minutes. I was able to save my data thanks to dropbox. Cuz I just so happened to back up my data there a lot by saving my recovery back ups
But your case is different. Use wug's toolkit and ATTEMPT to save your data by using the backup feature. MAYBE u can still recover your apps. Maybe you broke your CWMR and damaged the system.res or something. So just flash stock+Unroot. As long as you can fast boot I think you can fix it like me.
Give it a try if you have not done this yet. And let me know how it out. =p
Hope it works for u just as well as it did for me.

could you gimmie alink for that toolkit
Unbrickable
Also you can't truly brick a Nexus device. ESPECIALLY a GSM variant.
So you can fix this. I'll try to find another way just in case this way fails. but also there is a tool on the right side of the panel do the Wug's Toolkit panel. Never actually used them, but maybe it can make your phone work again without even having to flash stock+Unroot.
But again I'll try to find a another method of how this can be fixed. Hopefully someone has a tool to fix this.

Sorry. XDA won't let me post a link. =/
Since I just registered and all but don't worry I'm experienced with this stuff.
Just type Wug's toolkit v1.3 Galaxy Nexus and it should be on Android Central
. Hope this saves ur $400-$600 google device. =p
Know how u feel on this.
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------
This should work because I just read the website and it says that if you flash stock+unroot it should unbrick your device. And maybe an OEM lock is required but your a GSM variant so I dunno since u came out of the factory unlocked.
If you were to fix your Nexus Device u don't have to do your $30 reward.
1. I'm 16. =p
2. Don't have a way of receiving money except by mail, which is a big hassle of nonsense.
3. Just wanted to help since I know how u feel.

Pixel XL Possibly Bricked

Alright I posted about this on reddit.com/r/googlepixel earlier tonight and thought I fixed my issue. I installed Bully Scholarship Edition and within the first couple minutes of gameplay, my phone froze and some black bars appeared on screen. It rebooted several times then went totally blank. Couldn't get into bootloader/recovery. After putting it on the charger for a little bit, it turns back on. I thought all was good until after a couple hours it does the same thing after just being on the home screen. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to smartphones and rooting/roming but am stuck. I tried flashing stock system images and it was okay again for a while but it eventually froze with the black bars on screen and kept rebooting. Is my best bet to RMA it. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Ok its officially dead. Screen won't turn on but can hear vibrations from notifications or if I hold power button to get to the power menu. RIP
I personally would try to RMA it, it sounds like a persistent issue. Did you try not installing apps and just run that way for 24 hours?

Ya I just got off of chat with Google. They are replacing it
what? dude all you have to do is flash stock boot.img why the hell wasn't that the first thing you tried. sounds like a kernel panic to me

not sure why you would ever RMA without trying to first go back to stock firmware and factory reset

I'm not dumb. I did both a factory reset first with no luck then flashed latest factory images. Still same issues persisting. It must be a hardware issue. I should be receiving a new one fairly soon

I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to only flash a system.img and not the whole factory image
