I have a Note 5 I want to repartition.
Why? Long story short, the screen is broken (no image, no touchscreen) and I wanted to flash a custom rom with ADB enabled by default so I can erase my data and maybe still get some use out of the phone. While flashing some custom ROMs, the phone started to boot loop.
Tried flashing the stock ROM, which previously worked, but now it still boot loops. At least I think it boot loops. When I attempt to start it, the LED starts glowing blue and fading to turquoise and back. After some time, the two capacitive buttons light up briefly and then everything goes dark. A few seconds later, the LED lights blue/turquoise and the whole thing just goes on and on. Left it like this for a whole night and came back to the same "loop" in the morning.
After searching online and on this forum, the suggestion to flash a pit file came up. Tried scouring the internet high and low but could only find one pit file and it wasn't for my specific phone model. Tried flashing it anyway and I done f`ed up. Now I can only boot into recovery or download mode. Flashed TWRP and tried checking the damage and there seems to be no user data partition anymore.
Where can I get a good PIT file for my phone? All the links I find on the internet are dead or behind a paywall which I am not willing to pay for since I don't know if they're actually any good.
Some forums say that the firmware files contain the PIT. Well, that may be true of the "NEW model", as they're referred to in Odin, where you had a BL, AP, CP and CSC file, but the firmware files for my N920I is just a single tar.md5 file, i.e. the "OLD model".

hello
last week i was navigate with tomtom, and my kaiser was bloking! i click on the reset button and my pda won´t start!
Apears the following picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
about one minute and turns off and restart again with the same picture..
is there any problem ? i have the official rom of wm6, that it came with the pda!
Please, need help ..
should i send the pda to warrenty ?
Try taking out the batter and doing a power cycle. If that doesn't work, go for the hard reset (yes, all data on the phone will be lost). Do it the manual way by pressing the two soft keys, camera button, and poking the stylus in the reset whole all at the same time.
i have tryed that, power cicly, my batery have 100 % and i have discharging to 0%.. still nothing, hard reset.. nothing, i have tryed install new wm6.1 and nothing
the problem, is that the red letters and numbers of rom, radio ... won´t appear!
anybody knows this problem ?

Can you enter boot loader mode?
Press camera button and hard-reset
See if you get the tri-color screen with the SPL message
Then you can connect the phone to the computer and try to load a new ROM.
yes, i try install new rom but it doesn´t work, it stuck in smart mobility imagem :S
the problem should be the battery?
the power cycle is making by charging the battery to 100% or is there any thing to make like the notebook, that we go to bios and calibrate the battery ?
If you have tried flashing several different ROMs, and you are still stuck at the initial splash screen, then your only option may be to send your device in for service.
If you are able to get into the bootloader, then follow the directions located in this thread to revert your phone back to factory settings. Who knows, going through this process may get your phone back up and running again...
sent to warrenty.. :S
so my nexus shipped to me today and i power it on. at first it went it booted up fine i didnt get to play with it yet cause i had to go eat so i turned off the phone to let it charge.
came back to it later and turned it up and all i get is this :

}
after a few attempts with the same screen i decide to boot into recovery
[power down+power button]
HBOOT-0.33.0012
RADIO-4.06.00. 12_7
i then select recovery, after a bit it loads into clockwork mod recovery v5.0.1.0
so im assuming its not bricked or anything, but what seems to be the problem?
why is it stuck on the X screen with the "unlocked" lock icon?
-edit
an idea popped up in my head, so i put back the SD card tat came with the phone and it booted up fine to the home screen.
so im guessing the guy who sold the phone to me had his rom image booting off the sd?
would factory resetting the phone[wipe all] change this? so i can boot without the damn SD card?
It might've been that he had app2sdext running. I have never tried booting up without my sdcard in. Depending on how it was installed, a factory reset *might* help, but I doubt it (most app2sdext are put into the /system partition which a reset doesn't touch).
Your best bet is to probably just wipe the phone and start fresh with a new install. There are a lot of different options out there with ROMs, but the two most popular are CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI. Have a look at those and try them out.

Hi there,
So for the first time I've dropped my phone and something has actually gone wrong.
The battery fell out this time. Now when I boot up the bootscreen turns up as does the Cynogen screen next (I have been running 4.0.3 for over a week now without a hitch), then after that nothing...the screen goes black.
The weird thing is though, all the buttons work, the screen obviously works perfectly and it even mounts and Windows can see it, it just becomes a black screen and the front screen buttons light up when I try and turn the screen on.
Even wierder....I did a factory reset, wipe data cache and a dalvik cache wipe, reintalled and the problem still persists.
Edit: Tried Odin and got this, what now? ((
dbdata.rfs fails.

In that PIC I can see you are using more than one file ie PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC but you forgot to enable re-partition
Flashing ROM using Odin Step-by-Step Guide
so i found some ancient thread about a "new" font.. decided to install it. didn't read the thread. well, now i have a phone stuck at the white ATT screen.
and if i hold volume up and power, the phone just keeps rebooting.. there appears to be no way to hard reset the phone (factory reset to factory state)
any ideas here?
this was not opportune to say the least.
so ****ed.

I got it under control. It was painful and i lost everything. If you tried to flash this KK font installer crap:
For those that end up at the white screen of death on a rooted, non-safestrap application:
you are going to be flashing the MJ5 with optional root.
Go ahead and follow the directions.. you might could sideload the sec_csc.zip and the 2400..zip now, or later. i did later.
1.) So hold vol down + home + power.. that'll take you to Odin installer or something.
2.) load up the tarballs into Odin, etc etc.
3.) heimdall
now at this point it's still going to whitescreen bootloop, so this time do power up + home + power and you can go to "update via ADB"
you'll need ADB tools already set up
sideload the two zips in the right order
they will install
reboot and you'll have a working, clean, rooted MJ5 rom.
and not a white screen
I went ahead and exchanged my Note 5 under warranty. I got my new phone, flashed TWRP, flashed TEKHD, phone worked great until the battery died. I turned it back on and it was stuck on the Start Up screen with an error. It never made it into the splash screen. I did not record the error code but it was on the top left hand corner in Red. Something about not being able to verify something. So I went ahead and flashed stock rom and the unit keeps restarting into stock recovery. I've wiped data and cache and continues to be stuck. I flashed G1 firmware again and same thing. Any ideas what the problem might be? After restarting the phone in stock recovery, it reboots into recovery but with an error at the bottom in red. It reads:
Support APU: 3 <--------This is in white
dm-verity verification failed... <------This is in red
Need to check DRK first... <----------Also in red.
ANy ideas? Flashing back to stock and/or clearing data does not seem to help. My Note 5 is Tmobilele variant. n920t
Does anyone have a solution for this? I can't flash img or boot. Odin won't see the files. I'm without my Note 5 :,(
Does anyone have a solution for this? Can't use my Note 5 ;/ I tried doing as suggested but Odin will not see either the boot or img. Also, I can not flash TWRP. Which does not make sense as I was able to before. Something about FAP Lock.
Took a picture of it.

So I did some more google searching and was lead to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...ation-t3293306
Says extract original firmware and delete cache and repackage it. Which I went ahead and deleted but when I try to repackage it, it gives me an error saying it is missing the cache.rfs. The tutorial uses a difference version of TAR.MD5 PACKAGER. The latest version I have has different options. It will not let me create a full rom unless the cache.rfs is there.
I am confuse and I need help.
These are the options I am presented with

and these are the options that are present in the tutorial.
