What you have to understand is that your phone is never safe if you have the affected firmware version on your emmc chip. Although the software patches Samsung created were designed to help prevent it, if your phone is moving towards brick land, it will do so no matter what version, kernel, rom or recovery you have.
Unless someone finds a way to update the firmware on the emmc chip, no one with the affected version is safe.

What the hell are you saying? You know what has happened to a sds bricked phone? A wrong command has been triggered which bricked the storage on the device. So if that command is stopped from being issued then how can one have sds issue?

AFAIK, the fix basically crashes the phone when the conditions triggering SDS appear, preventing permanent damage.
So while your phone won't die it might become unstable.

i tried to find the link of the thread but i dont remember where i find it but im sure i already remember someone talk about it in the forum..
i also thank everyone for the informations... everytime i touch my note is a scary moment for me cuz i dont have warranty i just bought it on internet :crying:

Don't worry. He might have been using note2core kernel which doesn't have sds patches till yet. I check the forums almost daily and I. Have never seen anyone have sds on omega 14 which is released just on Monday so I don't think I had skipped that thread.

this guy has the SDS he was on Omega 14. it becomes really scary !!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39459908&postcount=486
I dont think that Omega and Android Revolution roms are safe

I pmed him to confirm the version. It was probably due to a previous version of kernel or recovery.

Which vers you are talking about? I just brought one note 2 and I want to update it and put it on the sky...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

He's talking about the last version of Perseus kernel, but if u just bought your Note 2, you should root it first and then install a custom rom ( i suggest Android Revolution rom ) and then intall the last version of Perseus kernel... all of that and i cant confirm you that your device is protected from Sudden Death.

Very bad news.
He is saying that he was running perseus v33. I can't say anything now.

I already saw another guy that had sds on omega 14... so our devices are not secured even with custom roms and kernels
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I think it's with omega only. Could you confirm the kernel and recovery from him?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Apparently the reason of sds in his case was that he had an obsolete recovery which wasn't sds safe.
Can you try to not down all the instances where people with latest stuff got sds? It would be really helpful.

The latest official stock ROM in my country is JB 4.1.2 ..... Am i missing something ??

If you don't use custom rom. No matter just put the latest firmware.
If you enjoy custom you must put a custom kernel and another recovery like pgilz or twrp

Which 4.1.2 build are you running? Anything after dll7 I think should have the fix implemented.

If I install a stock based 4.1.2 rom such as alliance and do not install any special kernel, will I be safe?

Yes, the stock kernel/rom should include the fix.

It's the build number/version. Can't exactly remember how to check it on Samsung roms, I think you dial something like *#1234# in the dialer.

Try rooting and installing custom rom. It might solve your issue also as it resolve my random restart problems before.
Btw I used android revolution hd v17.

Please someone reply will be great full when someone calls me sometimes I cant swipe to answer as its frozen
thanks in advance

I need a good rom im not a pro at rooting I kind of know what im doing if I have the firmware and I know how to use odin
Please someone reply

Why don't you install the newest stock rom for your region?
However, if you want custom I use the Jedi x19 rom with the latest Saber kernel.
I honestly don't think any custom rom will be flawless there will always be a trade off.

build:jzo54k.n7100xxdll4

Root your device then use triangle away to reset the counter. You are on 4.1.2 so it should not be a problem. Read dr ketan's guide how to root plus triangle away.

well since you are already over with warranty and flashing stock is no issues but you can get OTA updates as due to trigger on the knox until it can be reset and brought to defualt which is not possible as of now ,and if looking for a custom rom make your choice on a stable one and no need to upgreade anymore.

its really difficult to nderstand how you got the knox enable bootloader without flashing 4.3 or maybe you have flashed 4.3 MK4 build knox bootloader by odin ,anyways now you cant claim warranty so just enjoy your note 2 with any rom of your choice

There you go Daniel answered your concern. Just cause other users faced an issue doesn't mean you would face the same. Battery life is subjective. Some are getting great battery life some are getting less than 4.1.2

4.4.2 my opinion about kitkat is that it feels slim so less battery draining i think

advice you to upgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 .. fast and very good and less ram usage

How can I find on Sammobile 4.4.2 firmware..For Croatia (Tmobile) or non branded?
edit: found it
