I flashed it for over a week ago, i had wanam lite, had some fc's reinstalled stock and cleared everything...
Been running ok until yesterday.

Ok and any custom recovery have you flashed?

Not quite shure, but i think CWM 6.xx

That could be the reason, if your recovery is older and non patched for SDS then it can happens
If possible you can describe complete name of CWM OR from where you have download wud be better for community to understand the reason for SDS
Otherwise you have flashed ROM is believed to be patched. If you have that CWM recovery still on your PC, try to describe full name and if possible download link from where you got it.

Hmmm
This is very first cwm of note2 and so it won't have sds patched kernel
That's why I have removed this recovery from my rooting guide too.
Anyway I am trying to contact chenglu, the developer of it to request to update recovery.

[Q] [NOOB] [Forensic] Can I recover my personal data from SDS or bricked Note 2?

Hello everybody,
I would like to have read this forum before, I didn't upgraded my N7100 from 4.1.1 so now I probably suffer from SDS.
I say probably because I never rooted the phone, never upgraded the stock rom, I just used it as my notebook
and reader, and obviously I used it for making calls and texts.
A day I found my phone stuck "Samusng N7100" boot screen.
First I have tried to boot it with power+home+volume UP in order to try to do a reset
but it didn't worked, I got a small red led lighting up in the right high corner of the
screen and nothing more that this.
Instead, if I do power+home+volume DOWN, It goes in Download mode and says:
Odin Mode (in red)
Product name :
Custom Binary Download :NO
Current BInary : Samsung Official
System status: Custom
I have three questions for you:
Is really my phone dead by SDS or It's a software software/android bug ?
(It was an unrooted phone with only play store apps.
From what I have studied in the last hours,
SDS phone doesn't go in download mode, Am I right?)
Is there any way to download MY data from it before sending it to assistance?
In the case that is not suffering from SDS, Is it safe to try to do an upgrade of the rom in order to
recover the software bug?
Is there any way to have an access to it ?
Best regards
pm2r

Thanks for your answer, but in the case the phone would not boot,
is there a chance of invalidating the warranty ?
Can I use Kies ?
The count for loading new roms will grow up in the case of stock ones ?

Is there any way to dump the data from my device ?

Reflash the knox bootloader maybe?

Im on the official 4.3 stock rom. Did the cf auto root and tripped the knox bit.
The thing is in TWRP recovery you can nandroid backup of current rom and asked me what to backup featuring bootloader modem efs etc. And can restore back what was backed up before
I was wondering if someone still in 4,1,2 bootloader with rom too can makae nandroid back for us to try to flash with the old bootloader. Maybe we can overwrite the bootloader like nothing happened?

hey man, don't bother your self,i tried this one before but no result, i have been searching for 1 week to find a trick to get rid of the Knox bootloader and the avoid status in download mod but nothing help, even now my phone does not accept any rom with mj5 bootloader!

I heard that i cant do ota updates if the knox is tripped, is that true?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

Hello guys as far as I know nandroid backup does not contain bootloader, to flash a bootloader it must be done by odin I think, there is a link I will get it for you by dr keton the great on how to down grade the bootloader but I am not sure if it will work or not with triggered knox (I think it should work as what is the use then)

Backup boot option in the recovery generally means the kernel.
Kernels are named boot.img generally.

I think you can downgrade the bootloader using this.

However this thread was originally made for 4.1.2 bootloaders. Not sure if it works on knox bootloader.
It uses adb so I guess it should work.

Hello guys, I am on ine of the latest 4.3 bootloaders, I searched for how to downgrade the only way was by doc keton using 4.3 mj5 leaked version, but even this did not work cause my smart ass bootloader detected it as an unsupported version too, I simply went to samsung the guys there was very nice they downgraded my phone in 10 min on stock 4.1.2 rom with old bootloader it js like I just boot the phone, so y does not our developers figure this out cause knox is no e-fuse and samsung know how to downgrade it

1. Doc keton?
2. The knox security is a multi layer security. Though perhaps it is a software instead of efuse, it won't be as easy as flip ur palms.
3. Samsung may easily boot back ur phone, coz they have the tools (either software/hardware). So, it might look easy on u / whoever have experienced the same thing like u.
4. The dev here most of them are part time d3vs who just do this for hobbies on their spare time. And there's a bounty thread for this knox. My last read is around $3.1, and unclaimed.
5. Be patient mate.

Stuck in brickloop, Tried odin stock firmware, no go

Hello all!
So I bought a SGH M919 s4 off craigslist for 150 knowing that it wouldn't boot past the Samsung galaxy s4 boot screen, Thinking it would be an easy fix by flashing the stock firmware through odin. Well that's not the case, I've tried just about everything I am capable of...
1.Both odin 3.0 7 and odin 3.0 9 both flash and the device passes but on the boot screen it says booting recovery and just sticks there, It stuck on that over night so I am being patient.
2. I've tried flashing 4.3 which fails right away leading me to believe the phone was updated to 4.4.2 at some point in time.
3. It wont let me boot into stock recovery or I've even tried flashing TWRP, CWM and it pass's but still will not let me boot into those recovery's either.
4. Tried rooting the phone a couple times and that passes in odin but does nothing after that.
5. I ve tried different phone cables, I haven't tried a different computer yet.
6. The only thing I can get into on the phone is download mode and it says this on the screen
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-M919
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTYVOID: 0X1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30
WRITE PROTECTION: enable
eMMC BURST MODE enable
I don't remember seeing those last two things on the list normally if I can recall. Any help will be greatly appreciated and possibly a donation if we can get this thing fixed. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Do you know where the pit file can be found or what do I write in the pit file box?

Ok so I pulled the pit file from another T-Mobile s4 I have and flashed that with the stock firmware and that didn't work. The phone I pulled the pit file from is on 4.3 still so I'm assuming that's why it didn't work???

Na that wouldnt matter. Your pit file is for your partition layouts. Which dont ever change.
I really cant think of anything else of why you can't get into recovery or boot the phone with everything you've tried. You might just need to Jtag the device

The OP mentions that you tried flashing 4.3 and you speculated if it had been updated to 4.4.2. Just out of curiosity, have you tried flashing the stock 4.4.2 firmware?

No, I meant 4.4.2. It was a dumb question, but sometimes it's the simple things you overlook. Like I said, the OP only said you tried flashing MK2. You won't be able to flash anything pre-KNOX so there's no need in wasting the time downloading the MDL firmware.
An idea would be to power the phone off, boot straight to download mode, flash NB4, pull the battery when it's complete, boot straight back to download mode and re-flash NB4. I know that you have to do that sometimes for the modem to stick, perhaps you could try that with the firmware itself. Hey, worth a shot. Good luck.

I think I might have tried flashing twice in a row but I'll try it again since I haven't tried that since I've flashed the pit file. Thanks for the tip and I'll report back after the double flash.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 can't get past PIT partition

Hello! Let me start by saying that i have researched a ton and there is a lot of great information on here. The info I've read however doesn't seem to work for me.
My situation is I spilled a little bit of water on my phone (really not much), but it got inside my phone a little, which was already rooted using auto root. My power button thinks its constantly being pushed (i think). It doesn't bootloop, but as soon as i pop the battery in it turns on, and my phone was unresponsive to me clicking the power button. The rest of the phone was fully functional and i checked with Tmobile and it is still under warrenty (didn't mention the water). They told me to backup the phone which i was able to do in kies with no problem. Then they said do a factory reset, which again I did with no problem. It didn't solve my issue which i kinda knew it wouldn't, so the next step for me was to unroot my phone so i can return it. I popped it in odin, selected the original firmware and it started , then it disconnected by itself. Now the firmware upgrade screen pops up, but i am still able to get it into download mode (for me since the power button is suspect) i just have to hold the home and volume down, pop in the battery and it goes to download mode. The problem is that every time i try to hit start in Odin it gets to the part about the PIT partition and disconnects and says there is no PIT partition. Everywhere i've read says to either use a PIT partition (can't find one for the M919) or that the partition is in the m5 file, which as far as i can tell it is not (at least not it's own file). I've tried downloading the stock firmware from a multitude of different places even Sammobile with no luck and I've also tried different computers, different cables, and all the USB ports available to me.
Can anyone please tell me where to go from here please? I need to get this replaced asap!
(sorry i also posted this in the general section on accident)
I really think I just need the PIT partition, but I can't seem to find one for the m919 model
I have also tried different version of Odin (1.85, 3.07, and 3.09) all with the same result

What stock firmware are you trying to flash?
4.4.2?

When you're in download mode do you see anything that mentions KNOX in the upper-left hand corner? I only ask because MDL (4.2.2) firmware is the pre-KNOX firmware and will have no mention of KNOX in the text in download mode; it also will not flash if your bootloader has been updated to MK2 (4.3) or NB4 (4.4.2).

You're trying to flash mdl to a phone that won't take it. (ie it's already been updated to mk2 or nb4).
I'd flash the mk2 or nb4 tar file.

If the string "KNOX WARRANTY VOID:" doesn't appear in download mode, then your phone has not been updated to 4.3 or 4.4.2 as android_monsters stated. MDL should have flashed as there was nothing related to the bootloader or KNOX keeping you from a successful flash.
One thing I did encounter myself while trying to re-flash my pre-KNOX device; did you ever update your modem/baseband to MK2 or NB4? If you did, I would recommend finding the individual MDL modem/baseband files and manually reverting them before flashing the stock MDL firmware again. Odin never failed for me at the device .pit file, but I did encounter the firmware upgrade screen while trying to revert to stock with an updated modem. Doesn't make sense to me as the stock firmware has the modem and all in it, but that fixed it for me.

That did the trick all right! :victory: :victory:
Thanks!

Reverting the modem before flashing the stock firmware fixed your problem? Awesome! :highfive:

Hold the power button and the volume up button and try booting into recovery,
Wipe cache
3 times
Wipe dalvik
3 times
Wipe system
3 times
Reflash rom
1 time
Wipe cache
At least 1 time
Reboot or
Flash gapps
(Only if needed)
If that doesn't help, then maybe try a different rom?

I'm assuming you're flashing the stock firmware via Odin... if that's the case, simply factory reset via stock recovery and you should be good to go.

Try re-flashing the stock firmware in Odin. Don't flash a custom recovery at this point, just the stock firmware. Once it passes in Odin, power it off. Hold Power + Volume Up while powering up. It should show the Galaxy S4 screen with "Booting Recovery" in the upper-left.

Yes it say that on blue letters but dosnt show the recovery menu
