hi guys im planning on swapping my samsung galaxy not with someone for the htc one x my main question is are they any problems like bricking /memory block currupt that i mat not notic before swap
As you might know they is problems with the galaxy note with bricking ect
Thaks
i think they aren't... it's possible to brick, but as i know, everything is possible to repair without problems...maybe apx mode stuck for someone, but it's more unique that rare case, so i think you'll not have any problem, just pay attention when you do something with fastboot

I just got the gs3 on black friday and rooted it without any problems but on my first attempt to flash a new rom, i bricked it by flashing an international rom. I paniced and figured sprint probably wouldn't be able to detect that i was ever rooted and returned the next day. Sprint as i suspected was not able to tell what was wrong with it other than it seemed completely dead when the tech hooked it up and tried to fix it. So they gave me another phone and said they were going to just flag it as defective. Now my question is what is gonna happen with that phone? I would assume there is a way for samsung to find out what happened to the phone but i really don't know and thought it couldn't hurt to ask around in the forums. Please if anyone can help me, thank you in advance.

more than likely nothing is going to happen.
Well then i suppose i just got damn lucky lol.... just for future reference, is the only way to recover from flashing an international rom with a jig right?

No. You cannot recover from this with a jig. The only recovery is jtag; which I think is available for $60.00 for the S3. The jig is completely worthless in this situation.

Sprint doesn't have a policy against rooting/roms. You are fine.

I'd imagine they'll run a reformat to all the correct partitions and send it out as a refurb.
I've searched and read about this SDS thing ,and i think my phone just had one :crying:
basically it was lying on the table for a few minutes , then i picked it up and tried to start the screen, but nothing happens !
battery removed , charging , sim/sdcard removed ,recovery/download mode didtn show up neither , ALL DID NOT WORK !!!!
its just stuck and wont start up. and it shows that blinking red light near proximity sensor.....
it was perfectly fine a few moments ago but now its just dead.. i am non rooted on stock 4.1.1.
any suggestions please, really in need of the community help now ? :crying:
i've read that in 4.1.2 they fixed it , so is there a way to flash thru Odin while its dead already??
thx
If it IS an SDS, then it's dead and gone. No way to recover. You'll have to send it back to Samsung and they're replace the motherboard. Take your SD card out before you send it.
How do i know it is an SDS ? is there any other specific symptoms that i missed out ?
so far ,nothing worked trying to revive it , black screen with that flashing red (proximity sensor) when i press power or plug it in :crying: .
Did you root it? If not, you can send it back to Samsung for repairs.
Which custom ROM / Kernel were u using before it died ?
Did the kernel has fix for SDS ? like Perseus kernel ?
The recovery your using has SDS fix too ? tell us these details with versions included.

Yup, that's an SDS alright. All of them have the same symptom once dead. Time to call Sammy.

i mean this SDS warning was all over the place, im surprised you werent aware that it was highly recommended you upgrade to 4.2.1 or above to avoid this very issue since you seem like an active xda participant.

I'm afraid I am on the same boat as you and bad news is they will boot it in download mode and find that the firmware will read 'custom' which means they think you might have rooted the phone and won't repair it free of charge. I am currently looking for ways to deal with them. My case happened in Hong Kong though.....Good Luck to you.

yeah i am an active participant. but unfortunately, for the past 3 months i was off xda and didnt read or check anything , only if i knew , i truly regret it. bcos updating it wont even take 5 minutes....
the problem is , i made 5 other friends of mine buy Notes 2 !!! now im too scared to tell them all about this ,
very frustrated from Samsung and their stupid software department , cant believe the user have to look after his device bcos they cant get it right. had my Note 1 on the bricking risk due to that emmc bug as well but i took care of it thanks to xda.

how will they find it on "custom"? i've never rooted the device , never felt the need for it, and did that on purpose to keep the warranty.

I think instead of blaming each other for not updating and what not we should be pointing fingers at samsung for their ignorance in this matter. The least you'd expect from them is their acknowledgement of this serious flaw and compensate the customers by offering recalls and updating the phones at the nearest service centers coz not everyone has time or knowledge to do updates and not to mention this is a mandatory update. So many people get turned away from the service center simply because their phones were rooted which has absolutely nothing to do with the cause of SDS to top it up they're still selling the phones off with the old 4.1.1 rom in most places. Just frustrating. Good luck with you getting your issue resolved.

Update :
i got the phone back today from the service center :victory: :laugh: , they repaired it for almost 300$ , fortunately it went under warranty, so i payed nothing (ive never rooted).
they replaced the chip or the motherboard , i dunno what exactly, but still with the emmc checker app i still have that buggy chip !!!!!
i guess im on the safe side now since samsung pushed DMB2 update here in switzerland (4.1.2.) and it came already installed on my repaired phone. however i cant explain the relief (and frustration at Samsung continuous stupidity with high-end devices), since ive been really struggling without my Note 2 (used a cool but very slow nexus one).
thx for the help guys , cheers.
Hey guys
I live in New Zealand and recently found a Note II N7105 off Trademe (NZ's equivalent to ebay) and received it earlier today only to find it doe s not power on or charge at all. the photos and description show that it was working before it was sent but it is essentially dead. now i know that i should do my research before posting this question and i have to no avail and have realised it is one of two problems:
1. either the phone is totally dead or,
2. it does not charge properly
there is no sign of life and i have tried multiple chargers in multiple power sockets and have left it to charge for a while and still nothing
if anyone can give me some help as to whether i should get a refund or whether its a cheap fix, please please please let me know ASAP as i have been REALLY excited for this phone and would like to solve the problem as soon as possible
thanks to anyone that can help, cheers

If ur phone does not start, nothing can be done. Also I guess it is essentially a hardware problem.
Anyways, (unless u have screwed up the phone by urself)why do u want to fix it urself? Just get the refund or replacement.

Hey guys,
received my phone with replaced screen. All working fine now HOWEVER got a one silly question, is it possible that the company that did it inserted into the device some kind of tracking device or some tools that could hack my phone/sim card etc? I know its silly but just wondering, and please be serious
Thanks

Why would you send it off to them if you don't trust them....
In theory they could have done but the likelyhood is probably not.

If you do a system wipe, and still have the issue, you'll either have to get it serviced or replaced... or strap a vibrator to it.

It's probably a hardware issue if you did a factory data reset and it still vibrates constantly after your done.. If you made any changes or settings adjustments then try putting them back to defaults, or uninstall anything you may have installed recently (maybe a rogue app).
You can try going to safe mode and seeing if it still vibrates all the time.
IMHO the simplest approach (if possible) is if you can get it replaced by Amazon I would just do that and not try to delve to much more into it.
Happened to me shortly after purchasing. Had to get phone replaced. Actually happened to quite a few people.

Yeah Samsung won't touch my international phone. Ubreakit said they'd fix mine, and for cheap. But fortunately for me, the seller was kind enough to replace the phone. And it stopped working after ten days of opening. Very irritating when something so simple, yet important and expected to work without issues can cause such a hassle.
