Recover from a Softbrick on 1.83 SBF

As everyone knows psneuter did not work on 1.83 SBF to gain temporally root privileges to run a script on early USB enumeration mode to recover.
So please find bellow what I did to recover from a softbrick from a bad modding in the framework:
Prerequisites:
* 1.83 SBF on any flavor: stock, Gingerblur, Gingergray, Gladiatrix, etc.
* Access to an original framework files (Original 1.83 SBF file, etc)
* Tenfar’s CDW already installed before softbrick
* External SDcard to transfer files from your PC to the softbrick phone
* USB debugging ON before softbrick (Settings->Development->USB Debugging)
So here it is the deal:
1. Mostly all the time the file that get screw modding is the framework-res.apk, so the first thing to do is to indentified which file is screw before when to softbrick
2. Find a original from that file (can be any file inside /system/framework) depends on what was you doing before softbrick
3. Download the file “restore.zip” attached
4. Unzip it on your PC hard disk
5. Now place the files you want to restore inside the /system/framework on the unzip location
6. Now zip again the files as “restore.zip” (Normal compression)
7. Copy the file to the external SDcard and place the card on the phone
8. Plug AC to the phone so you can fire Tenfar’s CDW
9. Find apply update.zip from sdcard from Tefar’s CDW menu and run it
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy!

if you are softbricked from a bad framework-res.apk mod you can simply pull the battery and plug into the wall, let tenfar's cwm load up and reflash gingerblur or gladiatrix or whatever you like.

yup i did this lastnite, even swapped between p-roms, works a charm just remember to format after flash of p-rom

how can you enter cwm when your bricked? i thought you had to use the system recovery app in the app drawer, surely you can only enter android recovery

Official .906 1_click sbf .exe

UPDATED THE 1 CLICK SBF EXE TO THE OFFICIAL .906 SBF
now you can restore you D3 to factory .906
I created a 1-click-sbf.exe to make flashing as simple as possible.
The exe when ran will extract files to a temp dir (if needed)
to make it easy for you to delete manually or most window cleaners will clean the temp folder.
thus you don't have to have that much room taken up on your hard drive all the time..
when you start the exe it will check the temp folder to see if the files still remain..
if they do it will not need to extract the files thus starting much quicker!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE
DOWNLOAD: http://d-h.st/Z7b
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the above file to computer
2. Get a beer (or bowl..i prefer both)
3. If you have a spare battery, or the current battery, make sure it's charged above 50%
(quick unbrick wont run if it's below 50%)
4. When the phone is off, press m+power and scroll down to AP Fastboot.
5. Plug the phone into the computer, make sure you get the USB connected message on the phone.
6. Run the "D3.906.SBF.exe" (win 7 users right click on .exe and run as administrator)
7. Let your phone restore and boot.
8. Finish that beer (and bowl) your done..wasn't that easy..

If you want to try [EUI 5.8.016s], then use the instruction below!
[INTRODUCTION]
As you know, this firmware comes with a purchase in the store and if you update your phone, you will not be able to return to the later version. But on the Russian site 4pda.ru, I found a link to this firmware in the form of a backup copy! Well, let's begin!

3.Install any TWRP
1)Reboot the phone in Fastboot mode
2)Connect the phone to the computer, open the CMD in the folder where your TWRP
drive.google.com/file/d/0B5wIfEFfXmRbbVlUN2EwdGdRS1k/view [/url]
and write: fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.3-20170117-s2-codeworkx.img

Could Not Obtain PIT - FIX for Galaxy Note 8 and any other Android Device

This problem generally arise when you're using JOdin3 (for Mac) and in very rare case for Odin (for Windows).
Soo.. Sit down and DO NOT PANIC because I have came up with a Solution which will work 99%.
Method 1 (ONLY FOR Mac Users)
1) Download Windows 7 or Up .iso file
2) Open BootCamp and install Windows (give min. 40gb Storage)
3) Setup Windows.
4) Download and Install these Two Files
i) Odin - https://odindownload.com/
ii) Samsung Drivers - https://samsungusbdrivers.me/samsung-usb-drivers-for-odin/
5) Open Odin (Run as Administrator)
And you're good to Go....
This method is really Useful and Quick.
Method 2 (Not Recommended)
1) Download your Device Official Firmware (Should match you mobile's CSC)
2) Once Downloaded, select CSC.tar.md5 and rename it to CSC.zip and Extract it.
3) Once Extracted, you will find .pit file.
4) Open Odin/JOdin and Locate to the .pit File
