Need experts opinion

Hi guys I just want ask anyone who knows about screens what happened to my mother's phone. All out of the blue the screen got a green pixel on the screen that does not go away when is on, only when as sleep it goes off. I rebooted the phone and no luck anyone knows a possible solution or why this happened. Thank you

Dead pixels are something of a lottery... Just plain bad luck. I suggest you get your warranty worked to get it fixed/replaced.

Yes this has happened to me twice actually...when I was explained to by customer service snd warranty department that to have this happen is veryy rare...I was awarded an exchange so that what I also recommend. Sry bro

HI,
remove the battery and push the power button for 30s (or so). Put the battery back on and power the phone. Let me know if it works.

Is the red led glowing ?
Which rom were you on before this happened ?

This happened to me a couple of times when my phone was new. A battery pull fixes it but gotta admit is damn scary.

Rooting isn't a factor related to sds bug.
It is advised not to try anything and return it to service center.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Thank you all at first for your reply.
I heard in a service center that it can be flashed throw rifff and in this way the booting issue should be resolved.
Has anyone heard about this, and if it can be true how much safe is it?
Thank you again

Riff jtag doesn't say on it's website but I think I saw a video related to n7100.
Maybe using jtag with sboot.bin will help...

@OP
It was spontaneous and i don't believe anyone can have corrupt bootloader without doing any thing.
I put it to SDS category instead.

Can you attach image of download mode?

It happened to yesterday and even after trying countless times factory reset/wiped data and flashing Rom I still got stuck in a bootloop. So I went into recovery cwm and formatted system, data, etc and then refreshed the Rom and it worked. However my imei number was then changed to a generic one and I had to restore efs. Lucky I had a backup of it on my pc at all times.

Possible sds

Hello
5 month Note 2 user that had almost no complaints till early april where my phone started lagging, restarting every few hours(it did restart once every 2-3 days since they day i bought it) and touch screen not being responsive. Result was the problem becoming worse and me having to search for it and finding out about SDS. I checked my phone through EMMC and it says my chip is insane... as soon as I saw that I tried backing everything up but as it turned out, it was too late..I've lost all my game data (I've managed to copy a few games but its a few stages back..for example my subway surfers save is like 2-3 months back...), i've lost ALL of my contacts and my smscontact backup says it has no contacts on the backupfile...
regardless, I sent it to the local Samsung retail and they kept it for a week, got it back today, same thing happening...They told me they found humidity + errors on my phone and they had to clear/wipe it out completely. Its been like 3-4 hours since i got it and it already got stuck at a black home screen error + unable to swap applications and once on a non-responsive touch screen. I contacted the Samsung retailer and he told me that it could be an error from my SD card. I highly doubt that, am using a san disk 32gb ultra speed and I only have movies on it actually so...
Now my 'questions'...What can I do? Rooting it can fix it? Or will it void my warranty completely? If I root and it breaks again can I unroot and send it to have it fixed? And if they cant fix it, do they replace my phone with another one? Like a new note 2 or a new samsung phone?
Thanks
Ps: already posted this on sprint forums by mistake and it was suggested to me to try removing my sd card..no difference

well it is what people say "symptoms of the sudden death" so probably and all says that( 5 months, strange behaviour. .) if they dont fix you can talk to them that probably it is SDS if not you'll have to wait until the phone dies or send lots of times (like a guy who said that here in xda) and they probably replace the motherboard. theres nothing at the moment to do if it have been affected by the corrupted data but you can update to the latest firmware which is suposed to have the fix
hope I answered your question

Was the 5 months too late for it to take effect?i already called them and they told me that they know nothing about the SDS.. they said they can only change my phones internal/motherboard (as they said "just the plaque not ur device"
Latest update is 4.1.2? Thats what i have.. they gave me the option of buying another phone..should i? Am afraid of getting another sds affected note

well the problem is that if the phone send some corrupted data to the chip when you were at 4.1.1 there's nothing to do.
The repair centre "doesn't know about it" because if they do know they'll have to asume that problem and they will lose money. The correct procediment is to change de motherboard however sometimes they just put an old one with the insane chip again. If you really want this phone and I assume that you do like it, when they replace and send it back update to 4.1.2 ASAP therefore they usually update before sending back.

They are already losing money when they fix my phone cause of full warranty.. i loved the phone but am disappointed right now and with the possibility of changing phones i dont mind..cause all in all it has its downsides..ie too big to carry, takes a looong time to charge and regardless ive already lost all my data so its already like i got a new phone..
How can i know if they changed my motherboard?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

You should have a new imei if they changed mb i think.
I bought note because of the screen,dont mind using it with both hands thats the price you have to pay if you want that commodity of big display.
And its charging like every phone,maybe a little longer but instead you have great battery life.

How can i test if my imei is a new one and not from a previous user?
I did buy it too but any below 1.5A charger charges too slowly..and the size does matter for me cause am currently serving the army and its harder for me to handle...

I use original charger at home and 2.1a car charger and it charges really fast.
You should maybe check out xperia z,it has ip57 certificate,it is lot tougher than note and a bit smaller.

Nobody loses money but Samsung. Your local samsung service center is not Samsung company. They are third companies that have an agreement with Samsung to fix samsung phones officially in your country.
They lose money only if they replace a motherboard that is already working or not covered under warranty (user faults).
Once I talked(personally) to one of Samsung services in my country, they said mostly they are not able to understand these new generation smartphones. Most of the time all they do is just replacing motherboards, they said
My suggestion to you, print several sudden death syndrome reported web pages and show them or email them if you can. Samsung is replacing bricked motherboards with no question asked (even rooted ones).

I find it very strange, especially since these issues do not seem related to eMMC commands. Did you ever try using the phone without the sd card to eliminate the possibility?

[Q] Note II GT-N7100 International won't boot even to Logo screen

Hello everyone.
I've had my Note II since October when it was released and sold on Amazon.com. I got a French phone
Anyways, I've rooted it and installed custom ROM on it (HD Rom).
After a phone call yesterday, we put the phone on the table and it just won't boot at all. I can't even get it to boot to the logo screen. I've called Samsung US and they won't honor this "French" phone since the IMEI is not in their system, so be careful next time you buy an unlocked phone that's not sold primarily for US customers.
The issue I am having now is that I don't know what to do. I've read and research the forums but I am really lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the good news: I buy everything from Amazon and they're going to refund me but maybe a partial refund but the phone is full of personal stuff. I want to at least get it back to work so I don't have to return it to them. My privacy is more important than the refund.
Please help!
Thank you

Yes. I won't boot at all even to the N7100 screen.

Try joining the n7100 sds repair group. Maybe it's just a emmc corrupt which should be repairable with jtag as well.
Other than that if it can't boot even to n7100 screen then I could hardly think I of any way to extract the data.
