SDS precaution.... - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.. I just needed some help before my phone dies with the Sudden Death Syndrome..
I had the eMMC check done and it states my phone has an insane chip... clearly means it can get affected...
I am on omega v17 rom... with perseus kernel.. everything is good till now.. better working with the custom rom and kernel..
But the real question I wanto ask is should I give the phone for replacement for the new motherboard.. ?? My current emmc checkup states
Type - VTU00M
FwRev - 0xf1
And after replacement I'll get
FwRev - 0xf7
So should I replace my piece before it gets fried???
My binary count is 3 at present so should I reset that too before approaching the service center??
Please help...

Just b sure not to flash the latest modem rom as if emei goes missing than you will be another mess than solve that rather flash http://www.hotfile.com/dl/203112196/98a0ae2/N7100XXDMC3_N7100ODDDMD1_INU.zip.html version(non rooted), http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230250 (rooted version) and you are good to go stock rom will get u stock recovery than use traingle away to get your flash counter 0 make sure you enable usb debugging
create efs backup while in stock rom to keep your phone safe from probs if it arise later due to any custom rom flashing

So I'll flash this one to be safe... after flashing wil reset the counter using triangle away app.. and then to be more safer I'll unroot from the super user app..
Are the steps correct??

yes it is just flash and reset counter . remember to unroot and check the device status if its normal bfr taking to sc

They will not replace it unless you experience the effects of sds. Your in safe hands as long as your not in version 4.1.1. Don't worry to much.

But I cant just stay on stock rom and stock kernel till I start getting problems... I mean to say once affected by sds I wil not be able to get in recovery mode to flash the stock things again...
I'll give it a try... lets see wat they say at sc

or maybe this can be risky but u can make ur phone die via sds and send it to service center?!?!

Hahah... I cant make my die on purpose.. well I'll do a thing.. I'll wait till I get symptoms of sds like lagging freezing n reboots. . Then immediately I'll flash everything to stock n approach sc

yes, it can restore back your warranty and you should take note of that your "bin count" should be "0"
if the SSC in your place are strict, they will check that but if their not asking, it's better to keep quiet or just say " Kies failed to update!!" as an excuse

Yes, unroot your phone and install stock fw
Unrooting gives your warranty back and if you are in Custom ROM, you can install Officail firmware in your mobile.
for root and unroot your mobile: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378660
download root and un-root zip files from 1 & 3 posts in above link.
Rooting just adds some app packages i.e. superuser,busybox etc..it does not do anything to the hardware or the system ..Unrooting makes the phone back to normal state ..no problem at all with warranty..and most service centres dont check for Bin count so youre good to go

Bin count only increases if you flash anything thats not stock using Odin. You can flash stock ROM and kernel and your bin count will still be 0. (If it was 0 in the first place. xP)

1)If U just simply root.. thn just unroot
2)If u root nd install sum custom rom.. flash a stock rom using odin(flashing via odin unroots automatically).. make it just like what they sold to u!
3)If root, flash a custom kernel nd whatevr which increased ur bin count! flash doky's bin count reset.. thn do whatevr I said in 2!
Just return it like they sold to u.. that's the main thing! Make sure they donno about the nasty things u did to it ever!

There is no way in SDS they ever come to know you had custom ROM, as your flash counter is 'No' except yourself acknowledge them.
you have to just say it was fine untill night, when morning i look to it there was no life in device, thats it.
You will get device just like it was came box packed without any your data.

[Q] Another Sudden Death, Am I screwed?

Note II GT-N7100, Android 4.1.2 - Stock_Odex_Rooted_N7100XXDMB2_N7100OXEDMB1_N7100XXDLK7_SER
Phone was charging during night and I found it stucked with N7100 logo on screen.
I read all threads here about SDS, I can go do download mode and tried to flash recovery with ODIN, but get error: There is no PIT partition.
Does it mean I totally screwed with SDS and nothing can be done?
Service center is the only way?
Thanks.
Which recovery and kernel you had?
Do you able to access recovery and download mode?
What is written on Rt upper corner in download mode?
dr.ketan, thank you for reply.
Recovery and kernel was stock from Android 4.1.2 - Stock_Odex_Rooted_N7100XXDMB2_N7100OXEDMB1_N7100XX DLK7_SER firmware from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
I have access to download but not recovery mode.
Left upper corner in download mode:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
It seems SDS only, don't do anything and send it to service centre.
BTW since how long you were on this ROM ?
One more thing, have this ROM contains sboot.img file? (you may see it by extracting tar) and have you flashed bootloader separately?
Just few days on this ROM, I was on 4.1.1 similar stock rooted, but phone started to reboot randomly and lose information like SMS and system settings. I was on 4.1.1 for 5 months with any problems. So I made to decision it may be hardware glitch but wanted to give my phone one more try with newer firmware.
Yes, TAR file has sboot.bin file and my previous firmware - Stock_Root_Odex_N7100XXALJ1_N7100OXEALI8_N7100XXALIH_SER doesn't.
I flashed 4.1.2 with Mobile ODIN, all partitions at the same time.
omg now 4.1.2 is also not safe..

That highly suggest your device was already damaged while on previous rom. Now it is precipitated. Somehow damage may not be on system rom area so you could able to flash latrst rom.

Lucky me My previous Google Nexus S (made by Samsung) died the same way.
Anyway thank you for help.
The problem was 4.1.1 version damaged your MMC...It was too late to put the 4.1.2 version..
So dont worry 4.1.2 users. No one got SDS with 4.1.2...

Mobile ODIN don't flash bootloaders!
It is your fault, you should flash 4.1.2 with "desktop" ODIN.
And 4.1.2 is safe, if you flash it properly.
Bootloader doesn't have patch for sds but it's patched for exynose bug isn't?
Sds believed to be patched with kernel and recovery, here issue seems due to damage already took place on older rom.

I agree with dr.ketan post, damage was taken on 4.1.1 already and SDS patch is in kernel, not in bootloader.

Yes thats possible. However, Your warranty will still be considered void if they find a custom rom on your device...so I dont get it?
Youll need both 0 Binary count and a Stock rom.
Yes i know but if the can't see this like with a SDS they will probably not see the custom ROM because not be able to flash. Im afraid of bricked issue. I mean if i cannot flash anymore. It's better to have counter reset instead of having nothing.
So it's better for me to reset counter even if I'm with custom rom? Is there a tutorial in my case rom custom + custom kernel?

Two words. Triangle Away.
The tutorial is the same whether with stock/rooted or custom/rooted. The only difference is you'll need to check "reset on boot" with Triangle Away to keep the counter from reading 1.
Thanks guys.
I know for stock rom before send to warranty. But first i reset counter.
But if i do it before flash stock. I will have to do it again after flash stock Rom??

Just uninstall Triangle Away AFTER you've reverted back to stock and unrooted and the counter should remain 0 and read official.
If you haven't had the phone that long, why not do a dry run from stock/unrooted to custom/rooted and then back to stock/rooted (with Triangle Away installed and doing its job of course) and see for yourself.
Thanks bro
I go step by step because im a newbie. I have already rooted and custom kernel rom. I'll read the thread of triangle away and try this.
But if i have some problem i can count on you and all the community ?

This is what this place is for.
Just keep mind the community also expects you to use the search function or learn from many existing tutorials here and the internet in general.
If you think you have a problem, chances are many other people have experienced the same and a thread may already exist.
I'll do my best to respect the rules and the community

here is some possible ways
-Having custom kernel/recovery, still yo can reset counter but for that you need play store version of triangle away, which have option to reset counter at every boot. again to remember you need custom kernel which support this function. this will help you if your device brick in a way when no normal boot is possible (still i doubt any existing custom kernel offers it)
- If device still able to boot normally and you have custom kernel/recovery, you can flash stock kernel and recovery and after that you can reset counter.
-For stock kernel and recovery, you can reset triangle(needs root) and can uninstall triangle away. whenever you need to claim warranty just unroot it.
Last option is safest way who are worrying about warranty.
one more good thing is that, most common cause of brick is SDS, we already have fix for that, though unfortunately someone gets SDS, i have seen lots of cases when even presence of custom kernel/recovery, hardly bootloader can detect it b'coz of emmc read failure and warranty remains intact. in fact i have seen only one case of SDS where download mode showing flash binary count non zero, though i was not ready to believe it was SDS (history what i remember is, one guy have posted here, his GF have got device bricked and claim was rejected b'coz of raised flash counter, her device needed to replace mobo that's it. no further information was there and hard to believe it was SDS by just this much information)

Thanks a lot for these details!
I use the perseus kernel andi don't know if he can use the auto reset counter with triangle away?
But if i understand what you said (sorry for my bad english speaking) almost all of the SDS will not avoid the warranty. If it's not a SDS I'm supposed to flash again with download mode?
Si should i try triangle away with perseus kernel?
Thanks again!

Better ask on perseus forum if this option available, b'coz you have to purchase triangle away from market for that. Though it's welcome if you this way want to support developers.
Another your question possibility of Flashing in non sds case, that is really depends on types of brick you have. Though just flashing is not enough, you need to flash stock kernel and recovery as well you should have device working (booting) normally, bcoz triangle away needs normal booting device. So in case of brick I don't think you may get chance.
Simple advice
If you really worrying about flash counter and warranty, then keep stock maximum use root with reseting counter
Or
Let leave on luck and enjoy custom stuff.

Thanks for your advice!
I'm waiting for android 4.2.2 stock which normally will increase the battery life or even let the same as 4.1.1 i.e about 7h screen on time with normal use.
I hope it will come quickly maybe this month?

I wouldn't hold my breath- Samsung has been known to delay major firmware revisions unless it has to do with their homegrown software.

Or get Mobile Odin and enable ever root. Then just flash with Mobile Odin
It won't flash bootloader which having fix for exynos exploit, so first time better to go with pc odin, or flash bootloader separately.

It will be a lot slower if it gets SDS - 4.1.1 does not protect against SDS. Stick with 4.1.2 unless you like bricks

Your phone becomes completely unuseable and has to be sent back to Samsung for mainboard replacement. This is known as a brick because it has no function other than weight.
