[HELP] My Note 2 just died ! by it's self ....

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.

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.

[Q] My Note2 died with no warnings !!

Sorry guys, I have a serious problem here.
I've had my note 2 for months now and I got to bed yesterday at night, got up this morning to find it completely not responding with a black dead screen. I thought the battery is empty, connected the charger, but a battery sign appears in the middle with a loading sign and nothing else.
Tried to use the "three button" recovery mode but not responding too.
Would anyone please tells me what happened and what shall I do?

Red LED light comes when you press power button?which firmware version you r using u remember?

go to download mode... if your "model number:" is empty then u have sds... nothing to do
Btw, why are u out of warranty phone is 6 months old only?
In Samsung service center a motherboard replacing is $300 without warranty

Or try to hold the power button until the boot logo shows up
It might just be a dead sleep

How can warranty expire after 7 months? You should at least have one year warranty i presume.That motherboard is gone my friend, it happens suddenly and is software caused. Only a new motherboard can revive your phone, it happened to me too.

I thought it something like this would never happen. Who can ever imagine that an error like this would occur and Samsung doesn't fix it.
Although all reviews said that updating firmware would fix this error but I have to say that I've already updated my device to the last update and the murderer was still there.
Guys, the battery logo appears on screen when I connect the charger. Does this happen normally with SDS?

Nothing happens, it is strange. Power + HOME + Vol Down after choose Vol Up... If u have SDS it should work - you can solve nothing, but you can reach the Download Mode almost in every situation... - If you have SDS "model name" (first line) will be empty - in normal case it shows "N7100", Odin won't work, it will say something PIT error.

I need help

Owner of international Note 2.
This morning I found my phone dead. I cannot start it either through power button or other combination of buttons. I took out the battery and back in. Through ADB no luck it doesn't even register that I plugged in the phone.
From time to time the first led on the right of the camera blinks (I think it's one of the sensors).
Can anyone through an idea what I can do to recover my phone?

have you rooted your phone ? .. can you go to recovery ? download mode ?

My phone was rooted. I had MIUI on it. I was on the same ROM for 2 weeks, so it can't be the ROM. I cannot access the phone in any way possible

Unfortunately looks like its SDS ( sudden death syndrome ) . Was your phone on 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware? Its supposed that 4.1.2 has sds fix. Anyway if its sds so only option is to replace motherboard.

Agree with T511.. One of my frns S3 also had SDS n like he mentioned, motherboard had to be changed... if you have warranty n bill they will do it free.. doesnt matter if its rooted.. they cant check either..

It seems so. I've read for the last hour about it. What i don't know is: if i go to service, will they detect i was rooted and on custom rom? If so... can they refuse my service completely (After all SDS is not ROM related) or at least they can service me but with charges (which i presume it will be allot, but after all less then a new phone)?

Even they cant access it pal.. so they wont come to know.. just take it to service.. they will surely do it free if its under warranty..
but your data cant be revived.. hope you had a backup of contacts and msgs.. (5 mins'm waiting to post this .. as i've just started postin after a decent learning)

I had everything on my card. Titanium Backup few days ago....so i won't lose anything important. I just hope that the service will do it without arguing. I am under contract to Vodafone since november 2012. But in my country service or service period are words which are still foreign to distributors or sellers in general

Hard Bricked! Help (T999/mobilicity)

I have a 9 month old S3 (T999/Canadian/Mobilicity Variant)
I had a ROM on there since day 2, but recently *this week* had a lot of hard lock ups. I could manage a reboot if I pulled the battery.
I tried 3 diff roms CM10, AOKP, and a recent 4.1.1 (all without apps) all worked but still caused the hard lock requiring a reboot.
It was annoying as you know what, but I was testing diff options wondering if the lockups were the OS/an app/or hardware.
Last night the phone was working on AOKP 4.2.2 while on the charger. I woke up and noticed it was hard locked, so I batt pulled, rebooted and went to sleep.
Now (this morning) it wont boot at all. I thought maybe it was the charger or the battery. I swapped batteries with a different S3, mine still does not boot.
So. What now?
Time for S4 and lose a $600 phone? Time to go to a Samsung or Carrier shop?

Have you tried Odin? Plug it into a computer see if things register if so go further with Odin.
I'd say that and see if it persist while on a stock then don't install your apps, if problem still persist call Samsung or whom ever and see about that. Or get it up and running and if steady put on Craigslist then get s4....

That is found on XDA and the interwebs as a bricked device. it applies to captivate/HTC/s3 others.
I downloaded odin, but I can't get into download mode Power+Home+VDown (Nothing happens)
I didn't flash an incorrect ROM, since my phone was working, it bricked itself over night? Power Surge?

Aerowinder, if I am under warranty, can i take it to my carrier/samsung for repair? I can't get into Download mode.

Call them up and find out. It might be failing/tired internals/hardware... Did you have your phone over clocked at all in the 9 months, just curious?

Not sure how this is going to turn out. The carrier refused to do the warranty, and gave me the # to samsung canada. I went to the Samsung Canada store, where they took the phone and gave me a GNexus (loaner)
So... lets hope they dont see the romming, my triangle should be 0.
If they do figure out my romming and their quote to fix is absurd, I will get HTC1 and repair the S3 on my own time.
I prefer Apple's warranty to be honest.

7 days after submitting for service, the phone came back from a 3rd party repair shop in Burnaby, BC. PBA replaced due to bad BGA (Ball Grid Array)
So I guess they couldn't boot it to see the root.
Working fine. The new phone came back carrier locked, original unlock # worked again.

I Hard Bricked my Samsung Galaxy S3 and if you dont mention anything about rooting they will give you a new one no questions asked. Now if you dont have a warranty or some type of insurance then call samsung and see what you can do about it. i did a warranty exchange and i got a new one. As long as you dont mention brick or root you will be find they will right it down as defective.

[Q] my galaxy note 2 wont start (urgent please help)

Dear all,
I am in deep trouble , my phone was working fine yesterday night but some how today in the morning when I was trying to switch it on the phone wont respond no startup logo nothing I tried to remove the battery/ sim/ memory card but still nothing happening I tried to plug the phone to laptop but it is not responding even I connected my phone with the charger no signs is it really charging or not, but still I tried to charge the phone for atleast 7-8 hours , only thing which I am getting is the red identification light keeps blinking when I try to switch on the phone , otherwise phone seems to be completely dead.
I am rooted & I have jelly bean 4.1.1, any help in this regard will be appreciated ... because I already have void the warranty by rooting although I have set the binary counter to zero through triangle away app.
thank you very much.

I think that your phone have SDS. But in your case i would check battery and charger - if that wont help just send it to warranty (if this is SDS its hard to check that you have root

I must say you should flash ur note2

thanks for the reply, I have tried 3-4 different chargers but no work for my phone for battery I have to check it, I heard that same crazy stuff were happening with SG-S3 but I is not the case with note 2, SDS means they have to replace some hardware components will it going to effect my data in phone also.
thanks again.

Dear member, thanks for the advise but it is not possible as my phone is not detectable by PC, so flashing is not possible until you tell me some other way.

If download mode not work in my opinion there is no way to bring it to life at home. Only replace motherboard can help.
Yes the same bug is in SGS3 (same eMMC chip on board). This is happening on 16 GB variant of sgs3 and note2. To avoid this next time use android 4.1.2 (Samsung propably fix this, - risk of SDS on newest roms are lower).
Try to check voltage on battery.

Have you ever flashed it before.. if not then you can claim warranty
If you have flashed it once or more the counter will raise and samsung might be a b*tch about it and charge you for it (like they did with me)
The thing you should not do at all if its the SDS is flash it because it will not write NAND and will always fail then

Guys just today I have seen this thread...

SDS chances are high on my device also, as the symptoms seems to be the same for me, I didn`t have the chance to check my phone chip but I did buy the phone on 20th Oct 2012, so fingers cross, I will recommend to go through the above thread, to safe yourself from any unpredictable hassle.
Wish me a best of luck, I will going to visit service center today.

The update is my mother board was effected & replaced also, I lost all my data from sd card, board is replaced by service center at their cost as it was in the warranty so luckyly rooting my device did not make any issue, they have installed the latest firmware jelly bean 4.1.2 which they told me will make sure not to happen again
