Hey,
I'll try to be short and descriptive. I'm pretty familiar with Android ecosystem, but just want to clear things up.
I've just purchased a refurbished Note 2 (I already knew it couldn't boot properly). I can't boot it into Recovery, it goes to "Galaxy note 2" and stays there. I tried it 3-4 times but without success.
But I can boot it into download mode and it stays:
Product name:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
I'm currently reading other similar treads (where users can boot only to download mode, and it doesn't show anything under product name) and as I can read, it's a SDS, the Sudden Death Syndrome. Is this correct? Should I try using Odin and use the stock PDA file or?
Thank you!
Try flashing with Odin, if it end with PIT mapping error, it's SDS and send to service station.

Thank you. As soon as I come home I'll try to do it.
Do I need any sort of paper when giving the phone to the Samsung Service station or I can just give them the phone and explain the problem?
Also is there a specific region I should look for?

Just a query doctor.
If it is SDS, would the Service station repair for free of cost?
It's you have warranty, they will.

And if I don't have any paper, what's the estimated cost of fixing it (so they don't overprice it)?
Nearly half the price of device.

Well, seems like I made a big mistake buying this device. Calling some international support won't help?

Well since I don't have any paper, but it's obviously Samsung's fault, is there any way to get it fixed for free by calling customer support in EU?

Riff box = JTAG?
Don't waste time, nothing will work in SDS.
You can understand sds is just failed hardware, no software can do magic isn't?
Jtag works if you have messed up bootloader and device doesn't get boot/download mode.
You can't put life in dead that is that simple.

I tried to put i9300 android 4.1.1. on my Att i747 sg3 and now I can't start the phone.
I was trying to upgrade the android version whole day, because I can't upgrade it through my phone when I check for upgrades.
The thing is I'm in europe and my phone of course we don't have a att carrier here, so it's not finding an update.
So in the end I tried to use mobile odin Lite, and put on i9300 version on it, so now it's not working.
When I try to start it shows me SAMSUNG and after that it turns off.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it through my laptop ;/
Merry Christmas to all!
Well try this... open in download mode.... which is volume down key-power button and home button..... download odin ffor pc.... and latest firmware deom sammobile.com
Steps.
1.do not connect fone yet. Download odin and read instructions. Which as far as i remember was attacthing the frimware file to pda... then coonect fone in download mode as mentioned above... and flash that furmware.. should be fine..:thumbup:

This isn't necessarily true.
He specifically stated he could see the Samsung logo which means it is not a hard brick.

Check the definition of hard brick, cause you have obviously missed something in that particular explanation.
Can you get into recovery with power,home, and vol up?
If it opens in download.... it is never bricked or if stuck on samsung logo not bricked... just open download mode and flash stock rom via pc odin

Hey there XDA,
Yesterday I received my note 2.
I'm coming from an unbrickable device: LG Optimus 2x so I'm not totally new to flashing and rooting an android device.
I have seen a lot of posts around that the note 2 can be bricked and you could lose your phone. Is this true?
Also, if it isn't unbrickable, what do you guys recommend before rooting and flashing a ROM to make it safe(r) for us new users to prevent us from bricking the device on the first try.
I have read numerous of tutorials on how to root and flash a ROM on the note 2 but they've never really discussed in detail how to prevent a brick or how to restore the device if it's bricked.
Coming from an unbrickable device it's for me common logic to just flash another ROM or use nvFlash to unbrick the device.
I would love to read your answers and opinions
Its not unbrickable, if you corrupt or wipe one of the bootloader partitions then that could mean that the phone won't boot, even in to download mode. That's a hard-brick of course, soft-bricks aren't a problem and are easily restorable. Don't mess with the bootloader unless you really have to and preferably know exactly what you're doing is my philosophy. As long as you stick to that and are reasonably careful in doing so, you should be fine.
The other very important thing is, backup your EFS partition! As far as I know there's still no way to do it before you've rooted your phone which is not ideal but unfortunately the way it is. But I'd make it the very first thing you do after rooting it and definitely before flashing anything else like custom ROMs.
Just don't mess with modems.
It cab be recovered with a jtag unit. But you need files and some experience in advanced stuff.

Flashing a bad modem can't brick your phone at all unless it wasn't even meant for your model of phone and ends up in the wrong place.

Modem is bootloader.
So if it is a corrupt install or it gets interrupted then be prepared to use jtag or pay 400 $ or whatsoever.

Perhaps I am wrong here, I don't know as much about the N7100 as I do about S5830i but how can the modem be the bootloader?? As in I'm sure you're aware that the modem/baseband/radio is the device's main communications driver. So are you saying that modem.bin also functions as the bootloader (or part of it)? That would seem a bit odd, do you have a link?

Hello,
2 Days ago my phone unlocked galaxy note 2 in the uk stopped working in the middle of the night, no idea how, My borthers phone stopped the same night also.
My friends note 2 got an OTA update the next morning but his is working fine.
SInce then my phone wont go past the first boot screen, it is completely stock and has no custom rom or root.
I took it to a samsung repair centre they put it in DL mode and they said i had a custom rom and they cant help..
Iv come home and i have tried to now flash a new firmware, i have then tried to flash CWM via odin but it comes up with a message..
No pit partition
then it fails...
Anyone have any ideas? what has caused this the OTA update? Both me and my brother bought the phones directly through samsung trade but my friend bought his through phones 4 u..
The update my friend got was N7100xxdmb2
ANy ideas or help is greatly appreciated

HI and thanks for quick response!
When i plug in to charge i get a single red flash on the further left light, then the battery image appears witht he spinning circle but then it freezes there, the usual green battery filling doesnt occur. When i disconnect the screen is frozen witht eh battery picture on screen.
In download mode i get:
Odin Mode (in red)
Product name :
Custom Binary Download :NO
Current BInary : Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Thanks again
Sorry to say but yes its bricked, and this is happened due to bug in older rom. It's sds (sudden death syndrome)
Another thing your binary counter on download mode is 'no'
And they can't reject earranty claim, you have to convince them. Otherwise you have to pay for it and you will need to change motherboard, which is costly.

Ok thats a shame, pretty poor in my opinion..
Has this affected many others? and was it caused by the OTA update failing or something?
Thanks for the help and i assume that you are certain that i cant fix with software?
Yes there are lots of people affected by this bug just search sds /sudden death in forum. This is purely poor samsung crap and s3 and note2 both devices have same bug (badically faulty emmc chip), you can't fix it with sw once it bricked, latest rom 4.1.2 released in 2013 have fixed for it, but that just can prevent device from getting bricked, who already have bricked have to just replace motherboard.
Sorry and I can feel for it. But you should not put down and let them to know about it to reclaim warranty.
Your downloaf mode information don't suggest you had custom rom, and all the sds victims have same information and got replacement.

really annoying but... im sure in time i will get over it!
thanks for the help and the reply.
just one last question - when the system status says : custom , what exactly does this mean? and what's the difference between that and official. i am asking as i want to make sure im armed with enough information should they decide to get all official with me!
thanks again.
It should official but
I have seen lots cases who never have flashed any custom stuff and having status Modified, so I think they won't Stand up with argument. Yes if your binary download is non zero then it certainly proves you have flashed custom stuff. I have seen more than 20 sds cases on note2 and I really not remember if anyone have status 'official' and I believe this sds issue itself causing status Modified.

Who sells a motherboard for Note 2 ???
I used heimdall to flash stock rom (extracted the varios bin and img files from N7100XXDMB2_N7100OXEDMC2_SER), and missed out sboot and recovery. Once it finished, I tried restarting the phone -> and it wouldn't do anything. Now I cant enter the download mode.
I tried a home-made USB JIG (300k ohms b/w pin 4 (the left out pin) and pin 5 (ground)), and it wouldn't kick the download mode either (does nothing).
I am seriously stuck and have no clue on what to do. If it helps, when I try to boot (with any combination of keys), the indicator (left) blinks red once.
Begging for help right now... Please tell me what to do. I love my phone, and I have a decent understanding of Computers/Electronics - so it's okay if you go all technical
More Info:
Extra Info: Verified that the USB JIG is doing the same thing, i.e after 3 seconds or so, the indicator blinks red... (and so on after every 5 seconds in a loop thereafter).
Good chance of SDS
You have messed up bootloader so won't get download mode
But if you have heimdall and some techy here is guide to flash bootloader blindly, if you succeed to flash it, you will get download mode and subsequently use odin to flash stock rom

You have to attach the wires directly to the nand or internal memory chip or whatever it is(could be memory controller if there is any). Then you have to connect it to a box? I don't know much about it. You can check on the internet. You have to flash sboot.bin I guess

Best answer if samsung guys ask you, tell them it was happened when I got OTA and after getting update device never started, there are cases reported bootloader can't update while on ota and device fail to boot further.
Just don't show them you are technically sound, and behave like noob, they will install it with jtag.

When you open up ODIN, make sure you "Run as Administrator" and the Sammy usb drivers are installed, above PDA, theres a box PIT.. click the box and browse to the PIT file on your PC and select it.. it appears in the box next to PIT button, then put a tick in the box Re-Partition, put the ROM in PDA then click Start and off you go.
So far as I know, you only use ODiN for stock roms, plus,. Im pretty sure Stock Roms are All in one PDA file now.
Anyway, hope that helps
Good Luck

Looks like SDS. Anyways, have to wait for experts to review it.
By the way, which ROM you were using before this has happened?
As you do not have Custom Binary counter set, I hope you can claim the warranty. So just go ahead in claiming warranty,

The phones with SDS issue will have blank in Product code field as well as the Binary status will be custom.. You shouldn't have any problem in claiming warranty if you have it's bill/invoice/warranty card...
By the way, din't you check the phone before buying? You said that it was like that while buying.. You should have returned it to the previous owner itself.. Incase you do not get warranty, this will cost you huge money to repair as the motherboard replacement is the only solution... Instead of that, its better you put some more money and buy new.

First off all that blank in product code problem i had it, and i buy the phone on the web in second hand, i try to reach the guy who sell me the phone and as it was from expect he didnt had the bill/invoice/warranty card, correct me if im wrong or being dumb, but if they released the phone only in 2012, September, even i buy it on the first day, didn´t past 2 years yet,
i took the phone to they, and they make a couple of questions like if i rooted the phone, i asked them what is rooting (ahahha), and they said, that will give it a see and then call me,
About the possibility of buy a new one, that only cost me 130 pounds, about 154 euros, so it was a nice deal, if they charge me more that 50 euros, wich i think they will i will buy a Jtag Riff box and repair emmc myself, or buy the chip here and solder him myself at home, but if that happens i will spread everywhere that samsung sucks and show my indignation and anger about them.
