READ THIS FIRST
this method is dangerous as it will format the whole system and all the partitions on your phone. this will also format ur EFS partition so if ur using this tut for downgrading bootloader than its strongly warned that u backup ur EFS folder otherwise u will loose ur IMEI number.
this whole process will wipe ur internal sd card, there is no way to recover/backup it as in bricked phone u cant mount ur storage.
if u have 2.1 bootloader and want to downgrade it to v2.0 so that u can use usb jig to reset binary counter u can use this method but this method is risky so its recommended to backup all ur data and specially EFS folder to save ur IMEI number.
if u r on bootloader 2.0 and dont have usb jig and u want to reset ur download counter than u can use this method but as this method is risky so better buy usb jig and use it. use this as a last option. and dont forget to backup EFS and SD card otherwise u will loose ur IMEI and data stored on SD card.
BACKING UP EFS
there are many ways to backup/restore EFS partitions is out there but using efs backup pro is recommend, this tool works like charm. u will need to root ur phone first to backup ur EFS partition. (those who have bricked their phone, there is no way to backup ur efs in bricked phone so u will have to give ur phone in ssc to reprogram ur imei)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068193
some peoples says that after restoring backup made by efs backup pro their imei gets messed, they r unable to revert their original imei. if u have lil bit knowledge of ADB u can use this method its best method to backup imei.

NOTE FOR ICS USERS.
This unbricking tool is working on ICS also. but after this tool completes flashing u wont be able to flash stock ROM via odin directly to solve this u have to do a lil change in process.
after unbricking tool completes flashing, remove usb cable and reboot ur phone. phone will automatically boot in download mod as its not having OS.
now open odin, plug in ur device and flash ur desired stock ROM.
(thanks to UnknownzD for finding this solution.)HOW TO DO THIS???
STEP 1: DOWNLOADING REPAIR PACKAGE AND SETTING UP DRIVERS
Download the attached zip file and extract it to any directory like "C:\\SGR" or whatever u want. now remove battery of ur phone and insert it. now press VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER KEY together and insert usb cable to pc. ur pc will detect hardware named APX.
now open device manager. (right click on my computer>properties>device manager). u will see APX named hardware with yellow triangle on it. double click it and select update driver. now select "BROWSE MY COMPUTER......." option and it will ask for directory chose the directory in which u have extracted repair package. windows will show u warning ignore it and select install driver anyway.now see device manager in serial bus tree it should display hardware named NVIDIA RECOVERY........
STEP 2: FLASHING THE WHOLE FILE SYSTEM/BOOTLOADER
now everything is set for flashing the bootloader to ur bricked phone. open extracted folder in that u will find a file named GTI9103.bat open it, u will see command prompt window. now connect ur phone in APX mode as described in step 1. (to confirm that ur device is connected in apx mode u can look in device manager for hardware named nvidia recovery..... under serial bus tree). now after connecting device type 1 in opened command prompt and hit enter. now this tool will start flashing on ur sgr. after flash ur phone will reboot and download mode will appear as device starts.
STEP 3: FLASHING STOCK ROM AND FORMATTING DATA PARTITION
now open odin flashing tool (i faced problem while falshing with odin 1.86 so i recommend to use attached odin 1.80). remove usb cable from phone and connect it again, odin will detect phone and yellow mark with com port should appear. now this is important. here u have to check "RE PARTITION" in odin and click "PIT" buttom in odind and choose "p5.pit" file from extracted folder. in pda select the stock fw u want to flash. now check odin for this things "re partision, auto reboot, reset time is checked. in pit selection pit file is selected and in pda ur desired fw is selected." after checking this hit start and wait till flash finish. After flash ur phone will boot and will show error that /data is not found and ur phone will stuck at bootloop. Don't worry its normal as the flashing process have wiped data partition and its not ready to be used by os so phone won't boot. To solve this just boot in recovery mode by holding VOL UP + HOME key at boot. (U can use both stock and cwm recovery) and format the data partition and reboot. Ur phone will boot now and will work perfectly.
If u have backup of EFS than root ur phone and restore ur efs folder so that u can recover ur IMEI number.
If u dont have efs backup dont worry. Simply give ur phone in ssc and claim that phone is not receiving network. They will fix it for free
(If ur warranty is over, they will charge u for this)CREDITSXiaoyuz for making this flashing tool.

using root explorer i've copied the EFS folder and stored it in my system is it enough or should i use any tool to backup EFS folder...

Copying via root explorer only backup files, permissions are not saved with the files. If you restore later, the permissions may conflict and the IMEI get messed up.
So, it is better to use tool such as EFS backup pro that also backup permissions.
Will this tutorial work for my only "USB Bricked" SGR? If yes, then which steps should I follow?
Actual matter:-
-Doesn't charge via a wall charger nor USB cable.
-Download mode accessible.
-Reverted back to Stock Indian ROM as well as stock recovery.
-Doesn't detect on any PC. Also tried MAC. Not even in download mode.
-Can't charge at all. Have to charge my battery by putting it in my Sister's S2.
All i did was google for the zip. Glad I could help..

OK Good at least its booting now, no one can help you in this you need to take it to Samsung Service Center and tell them that all of sudden my phone is not working properly and network is not there....
Before doing this make sure you are on stock ROM and without CWM flashed on the device...
A question -> Does the unbrick process require downgrading bootloader? I suppose not. Correct me if I am wrong.
And if not, can xlm13x separate the two processes of downgrading for resetting counter with usb jig and unbricking the phone. Currently it looks a little confusing.
Also, anyone who has just bricked his phone may be a bit panicked and may not be paying full attention.
Just a thought. You may choose to ignore
Sent from my GT-I9103 using XDA
Downgrading bootloader and unbricking are actually same things, if u follow steps of this post actually it wipes the whole system parttition (the whole root folder, including efs and bootloader). And than it writes it back but it will write bootloader 2.0.
So in both cases (unbrick, downgrade bootloader) will have to follow the same process that's y I created this 2in1 thread.

This is the most common question asked on this forum how to install firmware using ODIN, I know there are many post in which this has been shown but I have decided to include this as a sticky thread so its up there for everyone to make use of.
Initially this will only show installing firmware using Odin, other things will be added

The process of Installing the Firmware is the same for all variants of Note i.e 8000, 8005, 8010, 8013, 8020 BUT MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT ROM FOR THE VERSION OF NOTE YOU HAVE
You can also flash Rom by copying the Rom on your device and using Mobile Odin Pro App
The same is a paid app and is available of play store
You need to be Rooted to use this app

Custom Rom Flashing Guide... (Not Stock)
1. Download the odin, Samsung drivers, root files and cmw files from above
2. Install the odin and samsungs drivers.
3. Plug your tablet into the computer and place the root zip on to your memory card..
4. Also found the Rom u want to install that works with your device and save it to your memory card
5. Once finished unplug your tablet from the computer and open odin on the computer
6. Power down your tablet.. Now Power it back on by Holding Power+Volume down button until you get the download mode screen
7. Plug your tablet back up to the computer (odin should see your tablet)
8. Using odin uncheck auto reboot and place the cwm tar in to the PDA box
9. Hit start button and let the process run
10. Once it finished Restart your tablet by Holding Power+Volume up button until you get the Recovery mode screen
11. Now install zip from sd card..
12a. Install su zip if u only want to Root your device
12b. Install Rom than su zip if u want a New Rom
13. Reboot device
what i ment was if you have firmware downloaded for 8010 the you can flash it on your device as to flash a rom you need a rom first which will work with you device
Hope this clears what i ment
That steps shown above are for custom roms and will not work with stock roms so please be aware of the same

Im sorry if that's what it seems like I doing but I not.. Im just trying to tell them how to install CWM get Root and flash Roms.. Earlier this person ask me about fixing lag and i told him about flash a Custom Rom could Fix that.. I was assuming he was having trouble with that process. If its a problem i was delete my simple guide...
No issues was just clarifying bec there are many who are not expert and will try to do that.
If you flash using ODIN you do not need to root
I agree the best method to root is using the exynos exploit patch
First, thank you for this thread. Made the whole process easy.
One thing I've noticed is I cannot mount my external SD in CWM which is a pain with a 16 Gb device. Any ideas why this would be?

Why do you want to mount the ext SD card if you want to do it to take a back up there is an option in the backup and restore which will allow the back to be done on the ext SD card

The problem is I can't get to the SD card in CWM. Right now my only option is to back up to my internal. When I select the option you mention it says it failed to mount.
As well when I flash a ROM it has to be saved in internal for CWM to see it. Since I have such limited memory (16 GB) using the external SD for CWM would be a huge help.
Hope that clarifies it a little.

simply root it with Vroot
This method is very complicated just simple root it with voot 1.7.2 sofware , you just all those drivers witch come with Q mobile software. Juts simple put mobile in dubugging mode , once sofware detected your mobile just simply press the Root button , your wmobile will restart once and its finally rooted . No need for all this stuff. I rooted my friend's A2 Classic with that method , if you want some screenshots i can provide that to.
Easy Rooting Method.
- I am not responsible for bricked phones
-and i am also not responsible if someone hit a bricked phone in your head
-don't worry your data remain safe :laugh::laugh:
Method:
first and first download the software from attached files below the post :good::good::good:
1) Install all the drivers (as the original post suggested ADB and VCOM )
2) turn USB debugging on.
3) Install the software , its in chinese but not very difficult to understand Just press the middle button once installed it should be looked like this (check the attachment )
4) press the button , let the software do its things, once your cell phone restart check the SU app in the drawer.
Caution: Do not Factory restore your phone after freezing apps or modification you will end up in a boot loop.
So what you do with this little Rooted device ?? duh off course make ext 4 partition on your SD Card and link your newly download aps using link2SD . no worrying of low space

Hi
Just follow these simple steps and you will be done.
1. Take out "scatter file" from main folder (File to Flash) and place where you can easily access that.
2. Run SP Flash tool
3. Select same “scatter file” which you have taken out from main folder
4. Once we take out the scatter file out from mail folder we break link between two files so Now select each file i.e. Preloader or Uboot in SP Flash tool manually to set their link back to normal.
5. Once all file given correct path click download
6. Connect your phone with or without batter (For me WITH battery)
7. If everything goes well after few seconds red line will appear that will turn in purple followed by yellow.
8. Once green circle appears that mean BINGO you are done.

i install root genios and try 2/3 time but my phone not rooted [ error -root failed root manually]
what can i do for this? when i install kitkat, that time i saw super user then i update Vroot,...then unfortunetlly super user goan.
i tried framroot /mtkdroid tool but no effect....
Root doesn't seem to be persistent. I uninstalled the superuser app immediately after installing the ROM. After this, I flashed ctr custom recovery using sp flash tool, downloaded and flashed SuperSU from recovery.

Avi, well it just worked for me.. I currently have a working SuperSU install following the procedure I'd mentioned
Just so we are clear, the problem here is that, once kk ROM is installed, the superuser app will show that the phone is rooted. After some time, opening the app will show that the phone is unroofed.. I'm sure this is not an issue with the super user app but something else.. But flashing SuperSU as I said in my last post fixes root which is what I wanted..
If you know the actual root cause, I want to know about it..
Towelroot:fail
Framaroot:fail
Poot:fail
vroot:works 100%
Other root methods won't work
I rooted with http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
Now I need to build cwm or twrp for this device
Added notes:
http://pc.cd/pWj7 build.prop
http://pc.cd/XRu7 this is the device tree
I'm work hard as to get cwm but right now isn't no stock ROM for this device only root if anybody want to help out let me know

You can create your own CWM my friend.
1. You have to use MTK Droid Tools to get the Block Map for the phone. Download and install MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone on and make sure the USB Debugging is on. Now connect the phone to your computer via a USB cable. MTK Droid will recognize the phone. Now, just click the Blocks Map button and click the Save button to save the scatter.txt file in a directory you make. You will need the scatter.txt file in the next step. This step only works for a rooted phone. Your phone is rooted so you can do this. (For those who don't have root access, there is a button on the bottom of the MTK Droid window to temporarily root the phone...but it may not work). DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER. And turn your phone OFF.
2. Next you must use SP Flash Tool to make a backup of the complete ROM. SPF will ask you to select the scatter.txt file. Once you select it, select the Read Back tab. Click on the Add button. It will create a record to indicate what you want to back up. Click on the file name and you then select the folder where you want to place the ROM (it is automatically named ROM_0). Then it will ask you for the starting address and the length. The starting address is 0x0. To determine the length of the backup, you have to read the scatter.txt file. Look at the "linear starting address" of the Cache partition. That is the number you want to use for the length. You write it like this "0xnnnnnnnn". Then click enter. So now the SPF knows what you want to backup from the phone and where it will store the backup.
3. Next, click the Read Back button. The SPF is now waiting for you. There's no need to rush. Turn your phone off (if you haven't turned it off yet). REMOVE the battery from your phone. Connect the USB cable from the computer to the phone then put the battery back in the phone. Do NOT turn the phone on. The SPF will then backup your ROM. This step could take almost an hour to finish. Go make yourself a nice cup of coffee.
4. When the backup is done, you will see a big green OK dialog. You can now disconnect the phone. Your backup is saved as ROM_0 in the folder you selected. Now go back to MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone back on. Make sure USB Debugging is still on. Connect the phone to the USB cable again. Once MTK Droid Tool recognizes the phone, go to the Root, Recovery tab. Click the button that says "Process ROM from the file." It will ask you to select the ROM_0 file you just backed up. This process will turn your ROM_0 into the partition files that make up your firmware. During this process, it will ask you if you want to make the CWM recovery!
Let the whole process complete. It could take a half hour or more. When it is done. The firmware and the CWM image will be in the MTK Droid folders. Just look through the folders under MTK Droid on your hard disk drive.
Please, when you are done, share the scatter.txt file and the CWM recovery.img with us.
And don't forget to click the Thank You button if this helped you in any way.

Thanks for sharing this. Is the CWM recovery installed on the device at this point, or does it still need to be installed?

No. At this point, the CWM recovery image has been created in one of the folders on the computer. You next have to install it on the phone via SP Flash Tool.

There may be a problem. I tried to use a SKY 4.0D with MTK Droid Tools. For some reason, it doesn't work. I think there's an issue with the kernel. This means that someone needs to port this phone's recovery to CWM or TWRP. Hopefully, someone has already done this...but the community/developer support for these devices is non-existent unfortunately.
Once the custom recovery is available, you have to flash it onto the device, either with SP Flash Tool (you just need the scatter.txt file which you xan get from MTK Droid), or you can root your phone, install Busybox, and install Flashify to flash it to the phone.
IDEA: Start a separate XDA thread for SKY devices. They are cheap but beautiful devices. Maybe some technical folks who are skilled in porting recoveries may show up just for the challenge.

There may be a problem. I tried to use a SKY 4.0D with MTK Droid Tools. For some reason, it doesn't work. I think there's an issue with the kernel. This means that someone needs to port this phone's recovery to CWM or TWRP.

I got that...but was curious how you did it. Did MTK Droid Tools work for you? Or was it some other method?

Sorry for my non helpful reply was really busy yesterday coding. I used MTK droid tools it didn't work the first time, I backed up my device again made the CWM recovery for the second time and it than booted into CWM perfectly. If you're having issues than it may be because of root I had used a one click program but it never fully rooted my device I had issues until I fully rooted on mtk droid tools ?

BTW, you should share your CWM image on say Mega.nz and post up the link so others less skilled can download and flash it. It really helps, and you'll be thanked profusely.
Also, please consider sharing what rooting program or method you used to properly root your phone. My preferred method for properly rooting MTK devices is to first flash a custom recovery using SPFT, then install SuperSu zip from the SD card. This way, I'm not having to deal with or replace Chinese super user programs.

STEP 1. Download MTK droid tools. I rooted the SKY 5.0Q with Kingo root I than used MTK droid tools to fully root the device by clicking the root button. STEP 2. Back up the phone using droid tools, its going to ask you if you want CWM built into the recovery make sure to click yes. During the process it will ask if you want to flash the new recovery image, go ahead and click yes. STEP 3. Your phone should now be rebooting into CMW now, go through it to make sure it works correctly. If it doesnt then re flash the NEW recovery boot.img that you just made.
*PLEASE NOTE: SuperUser is automatically put onto the device when rooting with Kingo root.*

For the stock rom u can visit tekof2marrow to download it.
CVAngelo said:
You can create your own CWM my friend.
1. You have to use MTK Droid Tools to get the Block Map for the phone. Download and install MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone on and make sure the USB Debugging is on. Now connect the phone to your computer via a USB cable. MTK Droid will recognize the phone. Now, just click the Blocks Map button and click the Save button to save the scatter.txt file in a directory you make. You will need the scatter.txt file in the next step. This step only works for a rooted phone. Your phone is rooted so you can do this. (For those who don't have root access, there is a button on the bottom of the MTK Droid window to temporarily root the phone...but it may not work). DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER. And turn your phone OFF.
2. Next you must use SP Flash Tool to make a backup of the complete ROM. SPF will ask you to select the scatter.txt file. Once you select it, select the Read Back tab. Click on the Add button. It will create a record to indicate what you want to back up. Click on the file name and you then select the folder where you want to place the ROM (it is automatically named ROM_0). Then it will ask you for the starting address and the length. The starting address is 0x0. To determine the length of the backup, you have to read the scatter.txt file. Look at the "linear starting address" of the Cache partition. That is the number you want to use for the length. You write it like this "0xnnnnnnnn". Then click enter. So now the SPF knows what you want to backup from the phone and where it will store the backup.
3. Next, click the Read Back button. The SPF is now waiting for you. There's no need to rush. Turn your phone off (if you haven't turned it off yet). REMOVE the battery from your phone. Connect the USB cable from the computer to the phone then put the battery back in the phone. Do NOT turn the phone on. The SPF will then backup your ROM. This step could take almost an hour to finish. Go make yourself a nice cup of coffee.
4. When the backup is done, you will see a big green OK dialog. You can now disconnect the phone. Your backup is saved as ROM_0 in the folder you selected. Now go back to MTK Droid Tools. Turn your phone back on. Make sure USB Debugging is still on. Connect the phone to the USB cable again. Once MTK Droid Tool recognizes the phone, go to the Root, Recovery tab. Click the button that says "Process ROM from the file." It will ask you to select the ROM_0 file you just backed up. This process will turn your ROM_0 into the partition files that make up your firmware. During this process, it will ask you if you want to make the CWM recovery!
Let the whole process complete. It could take a half hour or more. When it is done. The firmware and the CWM image will be in the MTK Droid folders. Just look through the folders under MTK Droid on your hard disk drive.
Please, when you are done, share the scatter.txt file and the CWM recovery.img with us.
And don't forget to click the Thank You button if this helped you in any way.

Did you turn on the USB Debugging? When you connect your phone (with Debugging on) you will need to respond to the dialog that pops up on your phone to allow the computer to have access! If you do not turn on debugging or is you do not respond to this dialog, MTK Droid will not be able to see your phone.

Yes I did I did everything, I even tried it on windows 7 and 10 (pc and laptop)
and I still get the same results, I even deleted all MT drivers with usbdeview and reinstall, same thing
UPDATE:
Ok I got MTK Droid tool to detect the phone but I was unable to extract the scatter file, after numerous attempts I was informed that the Latest MTK DROID TOOL will not work 100% with the MT67xx chipset devices, maybe in the next update.
This is a tried and tested method and it does work. This worked for me when EVERYTHING else failed and that includes MTK tools, mobile uncle tools, reflashing signed stock rom innumerable times. Thankyou @Chrizzly92 for this!!!
Follow this method this will surely work! Kudos to the developers!!:good:
IMPT YOU NEED TO HAVE A ROOTED PHONE SINCE YOU NEED TO PASTE A FILE IN THE /data/nvram FOLDER.
So first follow this section [Format EMMC with SP Flash Tool (Full Format)] with the help of the guide made by @codelover for honor 3c and then reflash your phone with the signed B108 international ROM. Then root your phone by the following method
Unlock your bootloader using the method given in the guide, then flash a custom recovery through spft and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip attached with this post with the help of the custom recovery.
After following the above method, download ES File Explorer from play store and grant it superuser privileges.
NOW THE METHOD TO RESTORE YOUR IMEI
1. Download the attached imei.zip and extract it.
2. Run imei generator.bat

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Find your IMEI numbers on your phone product box or remove the battery of your phone and you'll find the IMEI numbers written there.
Then input your IMEI numbers in the command prompt window which is opened by imei generator.bat
4. A file will get generated in the folder where the bat file is located.
5. Now transfer the generated file onto your sd card or your internal sd card. Copy the file and navigate to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ and replace the MP0B_001 file with your generated MP0B_001 file.
6. Restart your phone and wait for a few seconds and VOILA!! Networks have been restored!!:victory:
7. Now to make this fix permanent (yeah, up till now this was a temporary fix i.e. IMEI will again be lost after a factory reset), flash the UPDATE-ModemFix-MY.zip attached with this post through the custom recovery and reboot.
DONE!! :victory: Now your IMEI has been fully restored and will remain intact even if you factory reset your phone or flash a new ROM. And by chance if u break the IMEI again, follow the above steps again!
Feel free to ask any questions regarding this issue . This saved my ass BIG TIME!! THANKYOU TO THE BLESSED SOULS WHO DEVELOPED THIS GENERATOR and the guide by @codelover!! And hit thanks if this post helped you

Just crossing out all the possible problems... you formated your emmc right?If not, it can create problems. Before applying the UPDATE Modem fix, did it temporarily fix your imei problem?

Thanks for reply,
I have formatted emmc (full format), flashed the b108 signed rom, unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted the phone, boot and the phone with no signals and imei null, created the MP0b file and put it in the sd , replaced it with the one in system files set permissions and reboot and the signals showed, then I flashed the my-modem and everything was good and signals were there, then I factory reset the phone and again back to imei null
I want to relock the bootloader again and leave this rom_messy thing :/

Backup your IMEI using MTK tools when you get the signals. Then instead of using UPDATE modem fix to make the changes permanent, use MTK tools to restore your IMEI.
Check if this method works for you

What?! You sure that you aren't looking at the serial number? There must be 2 IMEI numbers at the back of the phone which you'll be able to see after removing the battery. If for some reason there is only 1 IMEI number present, then enter the same IMEI number twice when the tool asks for the IMEI numbers.
