duuude, I spent the whole fucking day trying to unbrick the damn phone searching the god damn google and Xda developers forums and downloading crap tons of kernels and odins and bootloaders and firmware and roms and god knows what other crap I don't even understand what it is and all I had to do is fucking click 2 god damn buttons :D THANKSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D you saved my phone from flying from the fourth floor it was really close :D
This is 2 years old now and is still relevant up to this date. today i've been scraching my head all day trying to restore a bricked phone and almost ready to trow but then i came across this video and it just worked. after about 10 minutes it was done just like it comes out of the shop. thanks very much for uploading this great video
Man, thank you so much for walking me through this. Latest S5 update here in Oz stopped me from starting up. Following you step by step was way better than sitting in my local service providers store, with a vacant dead look in my eyes, like the 15 other souls there waiting for someone to help. Big cheers mate. Thanks again! So happy.....

Thank you for the awesome video! same as others, thought my phone was trashed.... following your video, now my phone is restored and working as brand new again! absolutely amazing!
My Note4 that was stuck on infinite booting loop, i tried everything : factory reset, cache wipe, etc. Then i saw your video, tried it and it worked! You saved my phone, thank you!
thank you SO MUCH. you saved my Galaxy Tab S. I tried almost every damn tutorial in the Internet. At first I was sceptical because I already tried using Kies, but it didn't recognize my device nor did Odin. But it WORKED. Props to to you from Brazil. Ps: sorry for my english.
Thank you so much i have been trying to fix my phone the past 2 days and then i saw this video and it worked 100% now my phone is working again thanks to you 1+Sub 1+Like
Hello, i get this message for my Samsung Galaxy S5 after entering my IMEI and model name in keys 'does not support initializing'. I went to the smart suite video instead but the guy said that is for samsung 6 or higher. What do I do?
Good demo. New link is now called Smart Switch formerly known as Samsung Kies. I had to look it up to be sure, it does the same thing. It does. Tutorial still works the same way. Thank you
+Rare Cheif2 you have to wait sometimes it takes time. there is a guy who commented about waiting 2.5 hours. it worked for me after waiting almost an hour. Just dont unplug the USB.
Thank you so much! It worked! And for everyone that has the problem of bootloop/stuck on Samsung logo, just go into recovery mode and do the factory reset and reboot it again. Wait a few moments and the start up should begin..
Help I've tried this three times now and it just keeps failing, Kies tells me I need to do an emergency restore but doesn't give me a 'code' to start it
THANK YOU!!! My 14-year-old thought he could root his phone. He failed miserably. Thanks to you it is functioning again. I'm not sure if I'll tell him it's fixed yet though
+Cecelia B. Demented lol that's funny. Let him simmer a little longer ;-) FYI just about everyone soft bricks there phone the first time they try and root it. Totally normal it's part of the learning curve
Thanks a lot, it works with my Galaxy Note 4 like a charm, it didn't take a minute to connect and started to download the firmware and now I'm updating the installed software . thanks once again
capsuleboy are you stupid or what the fact that others are thanking him for helping them fix their phones should be enough credit, what the hell have you done to help others, goof!
I messed up my samsung tab by doing a 7.0 firmware and now the tablet was old version and i was crying so baaddd but after watching this it s fixed thnxx a lott new sub
Thank you bro. I tried it twice but it didnt work. Decided to try it one more time and then it worked.. Thank God my phone is working again.. better than before.
+BintonB You could not be using the right cable for the computer? I didnt have the factory cable so it wasnt working and as soon as i got the factory cable it worked Idk if you really care anymore you did comment this like 4 months ago lol
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!Did I say "thank you"?? Great and instructive video...I am no tech geek so I had my doubts I could follow the instructions...tried to downgrade my lollipop firmware back to KitKat...didn't work and was instructed to contact Verizon...ha...what a nightmare...your tutorial saved the day for me. A sincere "thank you" sir, for your help!!
same and i need to update the software to be able to use cable but i cant update cuz it rooted :( and i hear when unroot still cant update software and you may lose data :(
I had the SM-N910T and I had no way on my phone until I found you video. I did everything you say and I have my phone back thank to you but the one part with leaving in the USB cord was the right thing to do I guess depending on what is wrong with your phone but I want to thank you once again
Thanks Bro! it did fine on My Galaxy A310F (A3 2016. With kies 3, at first attempt was like unknown device ( all with the correct S/N and model name) ,but successed on third try. The phone was FAP locked... The network operators official service wanted to take about 120$!! (wich is more like as punishment then some kind of "repair cost") but thanks to You,I did it by Myself in 40 minutes,FREEEEE!! Thanks again,God bless You!
It will be under the battery, in case you don't know how to open the battery part, watch a video on how to replace battery of your phone on RU-vid, that would help
Thankyou !! you saved me !! and not just that is working, is fully working like, I thought this phone was black listed, but now works on all networks !!
WOW.I THOUGHT WE HAD TO DO IT MAUALLY..They wasted my time..You literally Just saved my time..The problem for me was that..I already downloaded the Firmware for my Phone..Bullshit part,was that Odin Couldnt Find the FIrmware File..WHIch,Pissed me off..Until,you made my day! THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow thank you so much for your tutorial i bricked my tab A and was ready to toss it in the garbage until i came across your youtube video and followed your instructions and bam my tab A is not gonna end up in the landfill after all thanks man
i really dont know a lot about smartphones/computers. my phone had problems that not only made me curious, i,m honestly looking to stay out of the phonestores/my pocket. long story short, after digging like a truffledog and reading through a lot of high and mighty bullshit all aroumd the internet that almost85% never directly gives a clear, sensible answer, MR. Rootjunky you are a welcome breath of fresh air. If there are others with methods better than yours, for now, so be it. i don,t like to drink a barrel of milk for a bowl of cereal. excuse a badword or so i would honestly just like to say thank you
Bro you are an absolute LEGENDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ! Words can't express how much you have helped me, everyone on youtube tries to act like an expert, but you're the real MVP. Thanks a lot man from the bottom of my heart. GOD BLESS !! PEACE
I saw that you have an app, and downloaded it immediately! I love the small size of it too. It works great on my current phone with 4GB of Iternal Storage space. Trying to fix my Galaxy S4 that won't boot, and only shows "Set Warranty Bit: Kernel" in the corner; (which is why Im on this video), so if this process works, I'll be so thankful!!
OMG! LIFE SAVER! SUBBED AND LIKED! Just a heads up for first timers on rooting, in my situation the Note 4 (or anyone with Lollipop): I rooted my phone so I can mock the GPS for Pokemon GO and installed xposed. (I know, I know, I shouldnt be cheating, it isnt the pokemon master way lol) xposed needed a framework update and what I did not know was... it does not work with Lollipop and will bootloop till the end of time! So I gave up and thankfully Kies exsist nonetheless this awesome video, just saved my phone. (I lost everything, back to a fresh phone) THANK YOU SO MUCH! (learned my lesson)
it doesnt ask for my imei number it asks for my serial number. how do i find it? its not on the back at the battery compartment and i cant turn it on to find out. please help
