I tried to root my buddies unlocked note 5 with kingroot and it bricked. His phone was @ 23% battery when root began. I told him to charge but he insisted. Phone gets stuck on downloading but can access the bootloader. Getting nox error. Cant flash Odin. Not sure if kios or smart switch will work due to phone coming from Hong Kong? He's QQin and wants me to pay for new phone. . . I have him my device as a stand in until fixed but I'm out of options guys. Thanks for reading and any help be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
So I wanted to prepare my unlocked Nexus 6 on T-mobile for my brother by completely un-rooting and then relocking to setup stock firmware. With the help of “Nexus Root Toolkit” it was a quick update. I simply picked up the latest firmware for t-mobile, then relocked - and off you go.
The Phone was ok for couple of days, but then google pushed new update – which would render my phone useless. After update Initially the phone went through the boot almost to the end, and then exception happened. Something about system UI crashing and then screen was unavailable. So I could not do anything on the phone.
I tried fixing with “Nexus Root Toolkit” (unlocking, rooting etc.), but at this point the phone is stock on booting (few colored dots signifying loading), but the phone never actually boots. Going to Factory reset or Recovery does nothing.
Is there anything else I can try please?
Thanks,
-Mariusz

There's not much you can do here. If you don't have TWRP or unlocked bootloader, you should just RMA the device direct through Motorola.
You could try to sideload the update you had received that caused this.
Other than that, RMA.
I was hoping not to hear RMA - but thanks for the reply.
Hi guys I'm trying to flash Jovi's Custom Rom. I accidentally pressed the update button on my phone that allows the Latest update from t-moble to kill the phone so It wont charge. Luckily I have quite a but of battery power left and I'm franticly trying to flash a jovi's custom rom. currently I'm getting a "Failed" message when trying to flash on ODEN 3.12 here are the directions I followed to the letter but no success.
First Thing Your Going To Do Is Download Both graceqltetmo_N930TUVU1APGC_Stock_Deodexed.zip And N930T_Note7_Adb_Rootkit_And_Odin_Pack.zip Files From The Download Link Section Below.
2. Extract All The Files From N930T_Note7_Adb_Rootkit_And_Odin_Pack.zip Onto Your PC Desktop, You Will Then Have Eight Files On Your Desktop Which Will Be MODIFIED_TMO_SPR_N930PVPU1APH3_REV00_ENGBOOT_FIRMW ARE.tar.md5, graceqltetmo_N930TUVU1APGC_Stock_Deodexed.img, SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.0.exe , adb-setup-1.4.3.exe, CommandPrompt.bat, Odin3.exe, Odin3.ini, And sun7.
3. If You Haven't Setup ADB On Your PC Yet Or Installed The Samsung USB Drivers, Just Open Both Executables SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.0.exe And adb-setup-1.4.3.exe And Complete Both The Setup Processes. Once Done You Should Now Have A Created ADB Directory Which Should Be Located At C:\adb. Once ADB Is Setup, Place The sun7 Folder And CommandPrompt.bat Inside Your ADB Folder From The New Directory.
4. Now Put Your Phone Into Download Mode By Powering Off Your Device First And Then Hold The "Volume Down+Home+Power Buttons" At The Same Time Until You See The Download Mode Warning Screen. Now Press The "Volume Up Button" And Then Insert Your Samsung USB Plug.
5. Now Open Odin3.exe, Click On "AP", Select "MODIFIED_TMO_SPR_N930PVPU1APH3_REV00_ENGBOOT_ FIRM WARE.tar.md5", And Then Click On "Start". Wait For A Couple Of Minutes For The Modified N930PVPU1APH3 Engboot Firmware To Finish Installing. After this step it says failed so this is where I'm suck currently at the bootloader. thanks guys for your help

It still works its just stuck at the boot loader. I think when I attempted to flash the stock rom back on the phone It wiped everything. Honestly I'm not trying to root I'm just trying to install the stock rom
You should be able to download it in Sammobile, they usually have every firmware available for Samsung phones. Then you would want to checkout the N7A their accepting beta testers for v2 of the app. Maybe check with them before to see how you should proceed on reinstalling the initial firmware to avoid the update again.

No problem I've been using package disabler pro & N7A's shield for a while now and haven't had any issues. Plus N7A is a really great community especially when other forums don't provide much assistance. I think about 80% off the people still using the Note 7 have either joined N7A or the N7 Rebels (I've heard they charge for their app & assistance but haven't verified myself). ?

Ok cool I just signed in to N7A site. It looks really informative. I downloaded the firmware from sam mobile as you suggested also I have about 10 more minuits before its done downloading. ill keep you posted.
Ok I'd check the help and tutorials section for re-flashing firmware after an update, cause I'm not sure how you would avoid getting the update again unless you have a some sort of shield or package disabling app in place.

I have a Note 5 as a backup and even that feels like a major downgrade I can't imagine what a Note 3 would be like.

Hey just giving you an update. Phone still stuck at boot loader but I have watched the lady known as catwoman video on youtube. I have downloaded and unzipped all the files and even tried to flash without success. Oden keeps giving me a fail. The only problem is with the smart switch application she recommended for download. I downloaded it and ran the app like suggested. It said that the my device is unsupported by smart switch. I cam to the conclusion that this is the way I should have started vs wiping everything which is the reason I'm stuck at the boot loader because there is no data on my phone. Here are the steps I took to get past this problem.
1. Reinstalled Smart Switch, but after the re- install no success.
2. I reopened Smart Switch and clicked the tab that says "MORE" then on Emergency Software & instillation. I followed the steps which included imputing my device model number and S/N. Did that but my device is still reading as a unsupported device on smart switch. I'm in progress of contacting her to see if she or any of her team as any ideas. Hopefully I'm back up and running soon. I cant wait for the note 8 so I can be done with this

Good afternoon folks. Im a fairly experienced guy as far as rooting and installing custom Rom's go on Samsung Phones. In this case I have POSSIBLY, the Hong Kong version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N9200) and while I was able to get a root on it with King Root..it's not my desired method. I'd really like to ROOT the phone, but I need to first unlock the BOOT-LOADER.
I've tried the CROM-APK but it won't install (I Keep getting "App not installed" every time I attempt it), and to my knowledge, I don't know of any other methods. IF anyone has a SHORT or LONG winded manner of doing this it would be appreciated. I've even tried the ONE-CLICK-ONE-TOUCH all the way around method and that was to no avail as well.
Also does anyone know if this phone is LTE Capable???? Would flashing a custom Rom give me access to that feature?
Any help would be appreciated.
OK! Update to my situation, I've managed to INSTALL CROM-Service But i can't get it to run on my phone. ALSO, there is no OEM-UNLOCK feature on my phone as well which im told can occur sometimes when the developr absolutely does not want you unlocking your boot-loader.
Is there a way around this????? How do I unlokc my bootloader without that OEM-Unlock feature.
i have the same problem
how did you do can i know
Hi all,
Quick backstory: I bought a Google Pixel 5a (from the USA) for my cousin who lives in India. The phone was working fine for him until about a few weeks ago when the phone was stuck in a boot loop. Unfortunately, my cousin did not have USB Debugging on and the OEM is locked.
I was able to help my cousin adb sideload the latest Full OTA update. The install completed successfully but when we try to restart the device, the phone bootloops once again. If we leave the phone to continue bootlooping, it gets very hot (which seems obvious but wanted to share this as well).
I cannot think of any other steps to take and it feels like this is a hardware driven issue. Worse yet, since my cousin is in India, we cannot service the phone. Posting here to see if anyone else has had a similar issue and was able to figure out what it was. Any advice helps, thanks!
did you try to extract the payload.bin to get the boot.img file and flash it to slots a & b .i think you can do that with twrp. with the bootloader you might not be able to do that.
Hello i've got Tablet that is blocked by Samsung Knox Menage, the tablet was given to me after i decided to finish my franchise contract but unfortunately, they decided to not help me unlock the device, please could someone guide me through ? i've tried flash clean rom for my device, i've tried combination file and flash cm.tar using odin but it didnt work.
Hi, just wondering if you ever got this sorted ? Im thinking of throwing mine away!
