i think i have emmc brickbug; My GT-N8000 is on UDNE4 firmware (stock German kitkat).
One night it shut down, and i can no longer access the system nor recovery. when i try to access the system, it restarts randomly during the Samsung logo (after the Samsung Note 10.1 page), and when i try to access recovery, it shows a black screen for 2 or 3 seconds, then reboots.
I can access download mode, but whenever i try using odin for flashing kernels, flashing bootloaders, flashing roms(one file or multi-part), removing batteries, flashing the latest kitkat rom (UDNE4, UDNE5, UDNE6),flashing recovery, modding roms(removing sboot.bin and tz.img), but i get "NAND Write fail error". when i try flashing the pit at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2268735 , i get "repartition operation failed". I tried the following odin versions : 1.83, 1.85, 3.04, 3.07, 3.09.
I tried different pcs, different cables, different ports (of all 3 gernerations(usb 1.0, usb 2.0, usb 3.0)). I tried reinstalling samsung drivers and uninstalling kies. I tried using heimdall, but i get "libuser error = -7". I honestly don't know what this error mean, so i would like someone to explain it for me.
I read at ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...icked-t1619571 ) that repartitioning might help, and therefore i need the appropriate pit. I am also considering NAND erase all, but please do let me know whether i can rely on this option. The pit i need is for the 16GB version of GT-N8000. And if repartitioning is not the solution, what should be done?
P.S: Whenever i flash a bootloader, the download mode shows invalid magic string.
P.P.S: I don't want to hand it to samsung just yet, because my warranty is over.
P.P.P.S: in download mode, i can see my model number, although my SYSTEM STATUS is shown as CUSTOM, even though i have a stock system (but i don't think that this is quite unusual, since it is rooted)
P.P.P.P.S: i have philz touch cwm recovery
Sorry for the very long post
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks in advance
How could my device be saved? I am willing to risk everything to get it to work again, but i am not considering replacing the motherboard.
The device is now a paper-weight that can only access download mode, but can not use it.
P.S: I tried using nand erase all, but i received Complete(Write) operation failed.
I have the exact same problem. Hope some one can come up with solution. Tried all options above. Very depressing.......
Rescue package
I have seen Rescue packages for phones like S3 which helped recover some bricked devices; What are they?And is there such thing for my device?Would a Rescue package do any good in this state?
Is there other programs to try other than odin or heimdall?

Hi everyone,
I'm using Galaxy SII and I have been trying custom roms many times but I never come a cross anything like that, this is why I'm writing and this is why I need your precious help (Anyone)
Before anyone asks this is what happened:
I was using Resurrection Remix ics v1.9.1 - 4.0.4 and I want it to go back to ICS 4.03 Stock rom but when I tried to make a clean wipe and everything Recovery mode crashed basically it was not functioning so It kind a forced me to flash a rom without clean wipe. (I believe that was a huge mistake). And this is where I meet with SBL.BIN and NAND WRITE START First time I flash a rom with Odin it got stuck in sbl.bin mostly... Anyway since then I can't flash a rom keep getting stuck...
So at the moment I can go into Download mode with 3 button, but can't get into recovery mode. When I open the phone at the screen it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I tried with kies but did not connect, right after I closed kies (I made sure that It was not running on the background) I tried everything which stated below;
What I have tried:
Well I tried many things like, using different USB port or cable, Different Odin 1.82, 1.83, 1.85, Different roms only .tar rom or CSC,Modem,PDA type rom and still can't flash a rom cause its keep getting stuck on sbl.bin...
Your help will be appreciated, If you can help me I'm willing to buy you a beer
Thanks in advance for your help... [/B][/B]

Can someone help me??? Or there is no one that understand what I'm talking about???
having the same problem.. what shoul i do if odin stuck on sbl.bin setup connection?
thanks!
Hi
I just got my Galaxy Note 10.1, model number N8005. It's the model that is sold in Turkey, has 3G&WiFi connectivity but can't make phone calls.
I'm really sorry before if this question had already been asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Anyway, after unboxing it I decided to update the android version to the 4.1 Jelly Bean directly, by using the German rom.
The process in Odin start smoothly until it starts to install the modem.bin file and then it fails. I tried repeating the installation process about 5 times, changing usb ports, restarting computers, and it still fails at modem.bin. I forgot to take screenshot but the modem.bin file is installed after the recovery.img and system.img.
The tablet won't boot up after this process, it only shows the update failed, please connect to Kies screen. Since I don't know what to do anymore, i tried rooting it by using Odin and magically it succeed and the tablet start up normally. I checked the android version and it shows 4.1.1
The tablet runs pretty normally, except that the S Note application won't start. Everytime I open it, it immediately force close.
What I want to ask is what is the cause of error Odin fails in installing modem.bin file? Is this okay since there are still some file that odin hasn't installed yet (hidden.img, boot.img, cache.img and modem.bin)? (Also is there any way to fix the S Note app so it would run normally again? Should I try installing other rom again using Odin?
I'm pretty scared to install rom using Odin again now
Thank you.

Hi XDA,
I really need help. Today I tried to root my new S6 (SM-G920W8, Rogers as provider) using a video (which I apparently can't link, but is titled "How to Root the Galaxy S6 (Safe & NO Loss of Data)" by C4Etech), which ironically turned out to be not that safe. I followed the instructions precisely, but despite seeing a 'PASS!', it got stuck in a bootloop. Thankfully, I can still access TWRP recovery mode, as well as the blue download mode.
I have the latest version of TWRP (2.8.7.1) loaded on my phone, but when trying to restore it I stupidly deleted the OS. Now, this would be fine, as I should be able to flash the stock 5.0.2 ROM, right? Wrong.
I am using Odin 3.0.4 as well as also trying 3.10.7, but when trying to load the ROM via AP method, I get "Write NAND start", followed by "FAIL!" I also once tried checking off the Re-Partition box, which then left me with "the specified file could not be read".
Digging around on the forums, I wasn't sure if perhaps it was because I was trying to install 5.0.2 onto a 5.1.1 device, but I couldn't find a 5.1.1 version of a Rogers SM-G920W8 stock firmware. School is tomorrow and I definitely can't let my parents find out that I messed up my phone – please XDAdevs, I'm begging you – help a newbie flasher out!
Have you formatted all partitions using TWRP?
I'd suggest format Data, System and Cache and try Odin again.
If it still fails then use a different USB port, a different cable or even a different computer.

No luck with switching cables or ports, gonna try a different computer but not sure it'll work. Still getting the NAND write error. Being a newbie to this, what things can cause a "NAND write start fail" error?
EDIT: it appears my reactivation lock is off. As my phone has no OS and is stuck in infinite boot loop, I can't register a Samsung count to disable it. Any advice?
Just tried on another computer. Was able to flash a version of Chainfire Autoroot with no NAND issue, but the issue persists for the stock S6 ROM.
Advice would be much appreciated.
Do you see black box with red writing saying "software rev check failed"?

No; I've never seen this message. However, when I try to boot normally on the S6 logo screen I get a red "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing".
...Unfortunately, I have no idea what this entails.
SOLVED!
To anyone reading this who screwed up their Samsung device, use Kies 3 and try to upgrade firmware with your phone plugged in in download mode.
What this does is simply reinstall the native OS, using Samsung's own tool. No NAND errors, no need for Odin! Everything is vanilla and fixed. Thanks for your helps!
i see that box whit that mesagge , have any sugestion???? say software rev check fail

So I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 today using TWRP and it got stuck in a boot loop. I went to wipe to cache and accidentally wiped to system. So now there is no OS installed. I know I need to somehow put an OS on the device but I'm in Canada and when I go to samsung's site to download the firmware, there is no Canada option. I bought the phone off of amazon and it came with a European wall charger because it was imported, but how do I know what firmware to download?
Also, when I have found the right firmware, how do I flash it onto the device? I can no longer access TWRP, all I can get is the downloading screen thing. Can I use Odin/how do I use Odin?
Somebody help me I'm panicking because I broke my brand new phone!
You should check the Amazon listing to see which model number you have. It's probably SM-920F.
Once you have the correct firmware downloaded, Google a guide to flashing Galaxy S6 firmware with Odin. There are a lot of them out there.

On the back of the phone it should say which model you have, for example G920F, G920W8, G920P etc.
Download the proper firmware from Sammobile, then follow the tutorial that the following thread has a link to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If the variant you have is the European model, G920F, I recomend you install the unbranded firmware.
IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER FIRMWARE! INSTALLING THE WRONG FIRMWARE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
I really hope this advice helped!
Really important is only that you pick the right model to download. The region isn't that important. Go to sammobile and download your stock rom, but be sure to not pick a branded one, because they are full of junk.
Also, you must use ODIN in that Download-Mode. Open ODIN, plug your device into your pc and see, if ODIN shows up your device. If yes, select "PDA" or "AP" (depending on ODIN Version) and select your ROM that you have downloaded. Then click on start. Don't touch your phone, your cable or your computer for best results. Wait ODIN say "PASS" with a green background. If this occurs, your phone should restart and after 10 mins or so, it should boot Android.
I did the same this as the OP, now I am stuck on the main "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android" screen. I can boot into TWPR and into download. I have tried flashing zip from external SD card with USB-OTG with no luck, I have tried flashing from Odin, multiple Odin versions tried, multiple usb cords tried, multiple computers tried.. all result with <ID:x/xxx> Can't open serial(COM) port."
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get anything to take, not stock firmware or otherwise. Any suggestions.. donations for anyone who can help me solve. lol $$

In odin under options untick Auto Reboot.
Flash Rom
Phone wont reboot once rom has flashed successfully so you will need to do manual reboot.
Go into recovery mode and wipe data.
Reboot phone
that should help let us know if it works
wifi wont turn on
hi, i managed to install the firmware but now the wifi and bluetooth wont turn on, wifi toggle and bluetooth wont go on, it looks like is trying toget on but after 20 seconds justgo back to off. idont know what to do .........

Hi guys
Just woke up 2days ago to find that my tablet does not boot up (stuck on loop),and the only thing i can get to is the download mode.
here is what i have tried:
1-flash multiple stocks from sammobile.com using different versions of odin and get this error(there is no PIT).
2-tried to flash many pits file for my tablet with re-partition checked and got this error(re-partition operation failed).
PS:tablet drivers installed and tried all the usb ports on my laptop.
please guys if any one got any solution what so ever tell me please
thanks in advance.
All you can try is to read posts on PIT files failures or take to a service center .
how about the Nand check box in odin can i try that?and how?even if that goona brick my device.
you know better go to service with bricked rather than download mod.
