Just as the title says. My device has been bricked, unlike any other Samsung devices, I cannot find any links to download a stock firmware for it. It's almost been half a year I'm searching with no luck, even Sammobile I can't find one and any links I've searched on Google are broken. Shame it's just lying around and I can't use it. A working link for free download and any other method to fix my device is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Search on Google (You're best friend), i'm sure you will find it.
Make sure to use these keys in your search: SHV-E230L and stock firmware
Good luck!

I did that a long time ago as I said on my message above and I did again today. Some links are broken including hotfile.com and other results on Google. Others require payment online to be able to download but I think those are scams and I don't know how to do online transactions like credit card payments since I don't have one. I am looking for a link which I can download a stock firmware of SHV-E230L for free like all firmwares on Sammobile or also any methods to fix this bricked device besides flasing it.

For starters check whether the tablet enters into recovery mode. If not - no firmware does not help, you must contact the Service Center (or the trash). A firmware try looking for "KIES_HOME_E230LKLUAMG2_E230LLGTALI1_1220323_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" or "KIES_HOME_E230LKLAMA3_E230LLGTALI1_887051_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"- much in the Chinese resources. In my Yandex.Disk I put the firmware from hire, but I somehow did not understand that for the file extension is "egg" (I renamed to zip, but didn't become clearer more out). And there's a magnet-link torrent, but I feel that the non-operating: https://yadi.sk/d/Qt98o5XHnx9vk At least, I have not downloaded.

Introduction:
My name as you may be able to tell is Francesco, and I am a long time user of the Samsung Galaxy S Series Devices. My current device is the SM-G935W8. I have just requested Developer Access on Android File Host so I can give access to everyone for the Stock Firmware for the SM-G935W8 of which I grabbed from Samsung SmartSwitch on Windows. I am an experienced programmer in the Languages C# and Java. I have made a few personal apps that aren't even worth mentioning.
Goal:
My Goal is to contribute and dedicate myself to the Canadian Users because I have noticed the lack of support towards them. I am currently working on a ROM based on the stock firmware of which I am trying to release. I am going to need help on it as I am rather new to this area of Android but nonetheless does not mean I am terrible. I have done my research and have gotten some of the tools that are needed and have already successfully built a ROM just not able to boot it but I believe it is because I missed a step with the boot.img. The main tool I am using is the one that Superr has created called SuperRs_Kitchen. I am currently using v1.0.5.6 as the newest version I was having issues with.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me and I will try and answer them to the best of my ability.
I will provide an upload link once and if I get approved for requesting developer access. If I don't I will then use a different mirror to host it.
Please be patient, and I do not have an ETA on when the link will be up.
Welcome Francesco! Nice to see some W8 support here! Really looking forward to see development from you

When SmartSwitch says it's downloading your firmware:
If you open up the run dialogue, type in %APPDATA% you will be brought to the Roaming folder. Click in the address bar to actually go to the APPDATA Folder, click Local, then go into the Temp folder.
Sort the results by last modified.
You will see one that has a random generated name and is a .tmp file. Keep your eye on this file and the size. Keep pressing refresh. Once that file is done another file will be created above it with the exact same name but it will be a zip file. Keep an eye on the file size as for this one as well. Keep refreshing until it the file size stops changing. In my experience it's still the exact same size as the tmp file, but just wait about 5 seconds after it stop changing, then copy it to somewhere like your desktop.

Thank you. I know there isn't much support for this device, but the ROM I believe the one that is called Renovated Edge does work on the W8 version, but it will change your CSC to XAC and it was a real pain trying to get it back to RWC. Actually took me a couple days to figure out how to do it.

Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

The tool they use is to unlock the bootloader and it's a proprietary tool.

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.
Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".
Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!
Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please
help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot！
Bootloader unlock - HERE
Found some ROM's also .... Althought, You'll Need TAMPERMONKEY and Baidu Download Script for Tampermoney
ROM'S - HERE and other Tools + rom's HERE
There is a whole Qiku N4 forum but it's in chinese .... didnt have time to bother with it,
since it requires to be registered ...
And, as bonus ...

Check HW version of your phone, if you want to flash roms and BEFORE screwing it up.

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s
Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?

Learn how to properly use a Google search, I typed exactly what you were looking for into the Google search bar, like this:
"TWRP for sm a300fu"
Then ran the search, the following link is the FIRST link in the search results.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa.../how-to-root-twpr-flash-a300fu-a300y-t3494362
Most of the time, if you just type exactly what you're looking for in the Google search bar, it will find what you need. It isn't like the information is hidden under a rock or in a haystack.
***NOTE*** if the search terms I used above had not found any links to what you were looking for, it would not mean that what you are looking for is well hidden, it would mean that what you were looking for probably doesn't exist. In other words, if my search had not found any links, it would have meant that there is not a TWRP for your device.
In the future, do your own searching before coming here and asking. Don't waste our time looking for something that you could have very easily found for yourself if you had just put forth the effort to try for yourself first. All you had to do was type exactly what you typed in the title of your thread into the Google search bar instead and you would have found TWRP for your device.
We are not here to hold your hand, spoonfeed you or do the hard work for you. We are here to help with things you don't understand and to point you in the right direction, this is not a support forum, we do not get paid, we are all volunteers. Get used to applying yourself instead of completely depending on us.
