Hie Ricardo thanks for the info, i tried flashing my Note 4 jus the other day but it ddnt read on Odin, i suspected the drivers were old of which they were so o updated them the phone was recognized. but i encountered a “PIT Partition file missing message.” Sorted that out but then it got to a point where it required Firmware recovery. i connected it to KIes 3 but it did not read giving a message that the device was not recognized. at this point its refusing to switch on. Please help if theres a way i can redeem it to normal again
Sorry to hear that this method did not work smoothly for you, things like this do happen from time to time. If your device is bricked as you described or in general for a much easier method use this Flashing tutorial here.
