[Q] Galaxy Note 3 completely broken

Hello Guys,
I dont know if such a thread already exists. If so, please refer to it, thanks!
I have a huge problem: I bricked/rooted my SM-N9005 (Galaxy Note 3). Everything was good but then an issue came along the way and I wanted to unbrick it, so I could make use of the warranty. So I downloaded ODIN and found the right version on sammobile.com(N9005XXUENB4_N9005DREENB3_N9005XXUENB1_HOME.tar.md5).
I tried to unbrick it with odin, but failed somehow, and tried again, and failed,... then I had this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666432
and now it wont start up ANYMORE. Black screen all the way!
I would be very pleased if you had a solution to get it running again, I dont mind wether bricked or unbrickt, I just want to use my Phone again, so please help you guys.
Thank you for your help

[Completed] S.O.S. for bricked galaxy S5

Here is the thing. I have a rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) and i accidentally bricked it a few hours ago.
I have been looking all over the internet for a way to unbrick it and found some guides. They all gave me a link to SamMobile so i could download the firmware but unfortunately the stock firmware I downloaded from SamMobile.com was corrupted and it took 2 hours to download.
The phone bricked because i managed to fill up the 12gb of memory it has and went into recovery to factory reset it. (I tend to factory reset all my phones from time to time). When i was about to hit factory reset i accidentally touched the button for installing a different ROM. I then proceeded without reading the warning :----)
Now. The phone can go into recovery and download mode normally. But it stays fixed in the Samsung Logo when booting.
Im going to use Odin to reinstall the stock firmware but since im a newbie at this i REALLY need an expert's advice on this. Any help will be apreciated
-Ps. Im desperate. It's my only tool (besides the old and slow emachine im typing on right now) that i use for school projects and reports, i cant afford to lose it now.
thanks in advance

Hi!
Here's a thread with stock firmware that you don't need SamMobile for.

i dont think its a hardware problem because it was running fine , i went to the guy now and he told me that he is trying to download the software but the phone is not taking it , and he told me that he took it to bci samsung so maybe they can fix it
after i flashed the official firmware the (custom ) kept showing when i turn on the device which means the firmware was not flashed , this is letting me to be crazy i have soft bricked my phone many times and fixed it with no problem , i dont know what to do

(I've been trying out new ROMs this week, and I must have bricked my phone at least a dozen times. Boring, waste of time, not a problem, though. I had the long blue light about 3 times.)
Make sure you have the 4.4.2 for the AT&T S5, not some other model S5. Boot to download and flash it again. SamMobile Firmwares has 4.4.2 for the phone. Or I'm sure you can find it on the AT&T S5 forum at XDA Forums.
i did all of the above like using odin or wiping data but nothing worked i think because the reactivation lock is on
is there anyway to turn off reactivation lock so i can flash stock firmware with no problems

@habeebsamawi,

[Completed] please help- need a stock .tar/odin file to unbrick my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

OK... so I know better, but I totally screwed up my Core Prime by trying to root it and install a custom recovery. And I thought it would be no big deal, right? I figured I would just flash it back to stock and carry on. WRONG. I have been all over the internet looking for the stock ROM, a rooting solution that works, and I can't find anything.
The problem is, the specific model I have is SM-G360T1- which is the GSM / MetroPCS piggybacked on Tmobile version. And I can't find ANYTHING on it besides other people like me crying in the wilderness about the lack of root methods, custom ROMs, inability to flash it back to stock, etc.
So, I have a huge favor to ask- would one of you XDA badasses be willing to maybe cobble together and upload a stock Odin file for me, if you happen to have one of these Galaxy phones sitting around in an unbroken state? Or, failing that, tell me what I can do to fix it? I can't get the phone into anything but download mode- it won't boot, won't go into recovery. Kies is blissfully unaware of it. I can't even connect it as an ADB device- download mode is it. I have traveled the internet for the past eight or so hours trying to get a clue as to how to fix this, and nothing.
Please help me, if you can find the time and inclination. Thank you.

[Completed] Samsung g386w core lte stuck in Recovery mode, need some advice.

Hi, I am new here and to android modding or repair. I have been getting an education though thanks to the XDA community posts and managed to resolves issues with a few phones. However this Core LTE is beyond me so far. I'm trying to fix it for a friend who is homeless. When it was brought to me it had been worked on already by someone else, had no OS, but i determined it was still worth trying. I managed to get Kies to flash a Rom on it, which is more than the last dude did with Odin. But since then it is stuck in recovery mode. I can still get it to Download mode in all methods, have flashed it with Odin3 but it just hangs in recovery when rebooted. I'm hoping someone here can point me to the right method

Hi and welcome to XDA.
Do you have the auto reboot option turned off in odin? Sometimes that can cause problems.
