This looks like some kind of "fake" clone of the phone.
From the screenshots in that thread, that device is not running the same software - the settings menu is totally different from Touchwiz.
It looks like a clone variant of the i968, which seems to be a popular variant of phone. If you are in doubt about this, we could try to dump some partitions and see if the partition configuration is the same. I doubt it.

I'm satisfied it is a clone. There is no need to look further or remote connect tbh

can we use USB Jig?
Can we use USB jig to re make and activate download mode?

I have the same problem...I'm a NubDroid,,,I tried several times by Press and hold simultaneously "Vol down+Menu+Power" and gets into Factory mode that shows "Full Test", "Clear eMMC", "Version", "Reboot", etc,,, instead of getting into Downloading mode (so that I can do Root). Here's the info. of my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100:

The xxxdddaaa is my signature nothing to do with this post.
Note 2 is real. First of all gain root access via exynos abuse which can be found in ketan's thread. Then you need to flash sboot.bin and tz.img to your phone. That is the bootloader. I don't know if download mode is stored in some other part. You will need to use adb because you can't use download mode

Your note 2 looks real and there is a possibility that it is a developers version. I would root it and use mobile odin to flash a complete stock rom. Someone who is more knowledgeable please confirm this. Make sure someone confirms my thoughts. But I have to say some clone phones can really look like the original ones. Make sure you create a nandroid backup before anything else so you can flash it back to original state if things go wrong

I bought it on ebay for $302 and the seller agrees to refund money back. The phone has no problem with calling at all,,,all functions works...It says 12gb internal storage, but windows explorer says only 2gb. I'm thinking to ask the seller refund $100... Is this faked phone worth $200? Please advice. Thanks for you guys input.

Bricked SGSII Tmobile

Hey guys some help I bricked the SGSII t989 tmobile and it has the yellow triangle pops up telling me to go to Kies and recover it. I feel really bad now and am downgraded to a google voice and gmail, going to get a G1 tommorrow from a friend.
Any chance someone could post the original firmware zImage md5 so I could flash it back? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm going to try to get some sleep.
Thank you very much for any help and assistance.
A second question - how to get back into download mode I can't access adb and the home/volumedown/power does not work.
EDIT: I just realized that nobody has pulled the zimage yet, in that case there is no smiley appropriate for the moment.
Both hold volumedown and volumeup ,then conect it to your computert with data line。
It will show you download mode option。
otherwise
1、Full power;
2、try 301k Resistance?ok?
how did u brick it? its not even rooted yet???

Why would you use the .TAR file from another Galaxy S II Variant? The other galaxy S II devices have different processors and are running different versions of android and if you go look at the Kernel version on the T-Mobile Galaxy S II its just a number EX: (2.6.35.11) as opposed to a sequence of numbers and letters. You will have to wait till there is a way to root the Galaxy S II for T-Mobile if holding the up and down volume keys and Plugging up to the computer does not work.
Dude. Why would you do something so dumb. The only thing this version shares with other GS2's is the screen.

How is that trial and error? Everyone knew from day 1 those exploits wouldn't work... Seemed obvious to me at least.
As far as the op goes, take it back to Tmobile and play dumb. Don't say a thing about flashing, hopefully they'll replace it.
If not, boned till we get root and someone can compile a flashable stock ROM for you.

What happens after you do a battery pull? Try that leave it out for a few seconds and see if it turns itself on again, essentially it shouldn't be able to unless your hardware button is stuck/sticky.
Is your phone insured ?
If you are on a custom rom it could be a bad download. Check the MD5 checksums and verify that your download was legitimate. Other than that. If you ARE NOT rooted, I suggest you read MULTIPLE tutorials and root your phone in addition to adding a custom ROM.
May I suggest Juggernaut V5.0. Or if you like ICS I suggest Blackedition or NexusMod
Best of luck

he means that the power button might be stuck. try booting into recovery, and if your phone automatically selects reboot, you know your power button is stuck.
that's somewhere to start.

Give this a go... Back up your device beforehand.
Download Samsung Kies. Put you phone into download mode. Open Kies, and under "Tools" menu, select "Emergency firmware recovery". This will completely restore your device to stock. If you still have issues afterward, its a hardware problem.
Edit: You WILL lose root with this method. But you'll also get a definitive answer...
Unroot it and install stock

Is your phone plugged in when reboot? What are you charging it with? A usb cable or an actual charger?

I would try flashing a new ROM and especially a new kernel. Try to do it over ADB if you cant get it through recovery.

Sounds like a dead phone... Try charging it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Hi, welcome to the Sprint Epic 4G touch section. Lots of nice helpful people here.
First, definitely try recharging your battery. Someone on here though his phone was bricked, only to find out 6 months later that his phone was shutting off on him due to a low battery.
You shouldnt have to flash it over to boost again.. cuz I dont think those things change when you flash different roms or Odin other roms.
So try downloading the one click GB27. plug your phone into you computer, put your phone in odin mode (vol down + power) and flash. it should all work.
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166
download the following: SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Rooted_Nodata.exe.. this will not delete whatever is on your phone; the other versions on that page will, so be careful to choose the right one.
If odin cannot detect your phone when you connect your phone, try installing the drivers:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mau0966wf6q20m2
As i said before, You should NOT have to reflash to boost. That information is stored on a different section of the phone that does not get touched by flashing roms. But if the phone is somehow screwed up, here is the thread on flashing to boost. you shouldnt have to need this.
Current update. I did a wipe/factory reset on it. Now i have it working normally now turning off, applications ect. My phone number and misid is still programed in the phone. I contacted the guy in NY who originally flashed my phone and he said doing that reset i lost everything, and my phone is no longer flashed, anyone have any instructions or direct links on where i can go to get my phone working on my boost mobile network again?

so what did you need that is no longer working?
if your phone and MSID is still programmed into the phone, then what is missing. are you calls working? data working?
I guess factory resetting might have reset your AAA and HA... i think you could have avoided the mess of factory resetting and just flashed a rom on top and been okay.

How does a factory reset cause your phone to stop working after being flashed to another provider?
Factory reset only touches the data and cache partitions. AFAIK, everything you need is in the system partition which is not touched during a reset. Try calling the number to activate with Boost because I think "this guy" from NY is feeding you a crock of ****.

Cuz the guy in NY is full of BS and wants to scam him out of money for nothing. The only way to lose a carrier flash is to wipe out the entire NV and EFS data, not just a reprovisioning but actually blank out the partitions.
Edit: it's not even in the system partition. NV and efs reside in a semi secure partition(s) of their own. Even wiping system won't affect a carrier flash (most updater scripts wipe system when installing a rom)

try another ROM.
You have given so little information, how can you expect people to give good direction based on your minimal explanation?
Seriously, try another ROM or another kernel or reflash current ROM after wiping. Good luck.

ok first:i flashed cm10.1.3 from stock rom 4.1.2 and this morning i flashed cm11 from 10.1.3.
yes i did full wipe (data/factory reset,dalvik,cashe,and format/preload) i have the last version of CWM (6.0.4.3)
i had problem with IMEI (0049) and i fixed it with flashing this tow modems-Modem DDEMG2 and modem_XXDME4.
i had binary count of 6 and i bought traingle away and now its 0.
and when my device go to restart It's not often at the same time, but when i plug my charger it go offline and doesnt restart its stuck untill i take the battery off and then click the power botuum till next time it go to restart.
Edit: I think I found out what the problem is but I do not know how to fix it. The device does restart every time it is not taking advantage of the battery - I mean that when I put the device near me or charge it. it goes restart again but when it is charging is not turned on. Someone who knows how to handle it?
Second Edit: I've done in the System of the developer when the handset is charging the screen does not turn off. When the device does not enter sleep mode so it does not restarts.
Why is this happening? How do I fix this?
someone please help me....

After your device restarts itself, go to ADB terminal then do this
Code:
$ su
# cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
post your last_kmsg.txt in your internal storage here (as an attached file)

It will likely tell us why your device is restarting.
If you don't know how to get in to the adb, forget it.

No it's not.
kmsg = Kernel Messages, useful for kernel panics, restarts etc (your case)
Last_kmsg = the previous kmsg that contains the error caused kernel to panic.
search for how to install adb in this forum. I can't tell you the whole story from the beginning.

I'd like to keep this conversation here because I might not be your savior
I just had the same symptoms few days ago. My Note2 was rebooting by itself with no reason.
I checked last_kmsg, it turned out EXT4-fs error http://pastebin.com/r3UNm9AS
I was using 4.3 rom with knox-free bootloader and wifi patch.
This combination, somehow was causing this error, kernel was entering panic mode due to the mount options used in fstab.
I went back to 4.1.2 with stock bootloader, everything is fine since then.

Yes it is. But we need this to be taken at the first boot after your device restarts by itself.
BTW looks like you have "failed to power up wifi chip" errors
I suggest you to use stock kernel and see if there such errors still exist.

All the files given on that video link belong to S3, I don't know if they are same to Note2(despite the video title).
I would never flash those files because I'm convinced.
Firstly I would search in this forum for the people who has the same error.
I would read their attempts and results.
I would find proper files that are for my phone model. Etc, mine is n7100, so I should never flash the files for n7105!!! I would use %100 stock files to avoid errors.
I would check everything twice, then flash.
But you look like you do the opposite. You do flash first, then think
Find a stock firmware that is exactly for your model and for your country from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31987995&postcount=9
Then enter to recovery and do a factory reset, cache wipe.

How to remove retail mode?

Hi,
I have a galaxy note 2014 edition that has retail mode on, it was a demo ex. Is there anyway to remove this from the device? Maybe through factory reset with stock firmware or something? Have no idea how to do a factory reset with stock firmware if that works.

Hi,
To do a factory reset: Switch off the tablet.
Then power it up by pressing simultaneously and holding : Volume up + Home + Power
When in Recovery mode move the cursor with the volume key and execute with the power key.
Select Factory reset and execute it.

Hi,
OK, the first thing to know is which device you have: Sm-P600/601/605 ??
Then to know which ROM is installed on the tablet ?
If you can go to setting : then scroll down to "About the phone" you should see the version of the ROM.
With that you go to sammobile
You put your device type and you will get all the stock ROM's
You click on the one you want and on the next windows you will have the URL to download and the way to install it.
To be able to download the ROM you have to register on this site but it's free of charge !!

Its a SM-P600,
Kernel Version: 3.4.39-1691324
Build Number: JSS15J.P600XXXUAMI8_LLK
I tried that site but canceled it cause it said it will take 15h to download the firmware.
You can try from HERE
But I am not sure it will be any faster.
Those ROM's are quite big > 1.xx Gb so if your internet connection is slow it's take time.

It seems to go a little bit faster today from sammobile. I have a 100/100 connection so it should go fast
Thanks for taking the time to help.

One more question, I can´t seem to set some kind of password for the lockscreen since the lock screen option is gone in some way. It says something about Knox but what is that?
Can i add some other app that handles the lock screen?
About Knox: it's some kind of security introduced by Samsung some months ago, a real pain in the back..
Have a look HERE (for example) for more details.
Yes you can install applications w/o problem.
Knox will only get involved when you start playing with the ROM's, Bootloader etc ..
Hi
Hello guys, I have an Galaxy S6 Edge Demo version, I want to know if I change the motherboard with another with GSM function, it will work fine ?
The digital finger print doesn't work, I have to change the button or how can I fix this ?
And another thing, in the background of display, you can barely notice a text, this : Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, this thing is from display or motherboard ? Because I want to know, if I change the motherboard, it will dissapear that text ?
Thank you.
I would like to remove the starting screen ''Live demo unit'' on SM-T800X tablet to the stock one, and after flashing I have got the demo pieces of text in the bottom of the screen.
I tried to re-partition the install with ODIN and used a PIT file but no changes. Anybody can help with this problem please ? Is there any solution to change the demo unit to look as a stock SM-T800 ?
Also if there any solution to change KNOX value to 0 would be great.
