Hi,
I recently got my phone unlocked via testpoint (I think) and it was fine for a week or so but then the touch screen started locking up after i turn the screen on and bring up the lock screen and wouldn't respond to my touches (so I can't answer my calls/texts until I restart my phone), the screen itself was fine as I can see everything still and the phone still responds as the gamepad is still functioned so I could turn it off and on again which then fixed it for a few hours.
This has been happening a lot recently and a new problem has developed which is that it will not boot properly, if I have it plugged in and boot from the "charging mode" its fine but the screen doesn't work until about 10 reboots and on battery it hangs at the Sony Ericsson text screen (On boot) and I have to battery pull it and reboot it many times before it will boot successfully again.
It is running a stock gingerbread ROM (Build .42 - rooted). This worked perfectly and never locked up once before the unlock, so I'm placing my suspicions on that. -.-
any ideas for fixes are greatly appreciated as having this phone doing this ALL THE TIME is very frustrating and seems to be happening more regularly and sometimes even when the screen is turned on and I'm using the device.
Thanks in advance and for reading all of that (If you did )
The fact that you unlocked it shouldn't matter that it's having issues booting up. I had mine unlocked via testpoint and it was all good. Try reflashing your stock FTF.
I think build .42 is Verizon, right? But what phone version do you have?
I have the R800i - originally locked to orange. I flashed a .42 build i fund on the internet, i think it was a Chinese ROM as it came with Chinese keyboard etc. and various Chinese apps
hmm, as I'm typing this I'm waiting for it to reboot - Not working -.- I got told by the guy who unlocked it that i cant update my phone or it may blank screen on me or something? i didn't want to risk anything by re-flashing it as i don't want to have to buy a new phone if this one completely messes up to the point that it's bricked I'm thinking a reflash is the way to go... Can titanium backup backup whatsapp properly so i dont have to sort out my activation stuff again? it's assigned to my old number atm so yeahh...
Same problem over here.
I used to use the Doom kernel for over a year without problem but then the touchscren would frequently lose it's ability to react to touch usually a reboot would fix it, at some point i had to hold a button while bootup for it to react again soon i discovered that sliding the gamepad out was what killed the touch capability sliding the gamepad back in did not restore it only a reboot or as i discovered holding the home button for about 10 seconds how ever it was less and less functional until at somepoint nothing would restore it and the touchscreen permanently lost it's touch. Assuming it might be a software problem i reflashed stock rom and stock kernel the problem still persists and i am not sure if ihad this problem before reflashing or not but i also now have the problem that when pressing the power button the phone does not react for 15 seconds before getting to the sony erricons (or doom kernel) writing to not move one step further no matter the wait while starting with usb plugged in again takes 15 seconds wait time before anyting shows up but then after 30 seconds continues to the next splashscreen to start properly.
Initially i assumed it would be a software problem (like slyhedgehog56) how ever as not even reflashing the entire system fixed it i think that option is out of question. with the touchscreen capability i would blame it on the digitizer but would a digitizer problem also cause the boot issues? With unlocked boot loader i am obviously out of warranty and id rather not have to buy a new phone i would what so ever not mind doing some basic human capable repairs on it (for example exchanging digitizer) how ever i don't want to invest into repairs that possibly wont help anyway.
I hope somebody can provide us with some insight.
Well you've also got to consider is electricals can go wrong weather its a phone laptop toaster ect sometimes stuff just stops working for no reason and something will break just the way it works unfortunately

Well while it certainly is true that everything stops it's not quite for no reason i mean there is most certainly some reason, it's not like the device just randomly decides "im perfectly fine but i wont work anymore" if it's a broken contact a lose cable or a fried chip something IS to blame for malfunctions and if there is a specific pattern of malfunctions it may be possible to track back just what component gave up.
So thank you for notifying me that things break at times i will still continue to wait if somebody possibly has more detail on this particular malfunction though.

I'm not gonna lie myself as the same thing exactly happened to my phone and it died week ago.
Here's how it started
1 Touchscreen died for 5 Seconds when I didn't use phone for long.
- Over two weeks this dead time longly extended.
3 Touchscreen became completely dead and unusable.
- Tried stock rom, Markpython's Ics Rom and Slimbean (no result so hardware problem).
5 Relocked the bootloader, flashed stock fw.
- Device won't boot unless in USB Mode
7 Phone turns unusable (Yes I can navigate using gamepad) and goes to Sony Centre

Sounds like the exact same problem yes (including the gamepad navigation) would you mind keeping me/us updated over how it goes? what they blame to be the culprint etc?
friends too..
Turns out a friends Xperia play has the EXACT same problem so the test point unlock isn't the issue here tried reflashing this one and no help at all, it will boot if I gold the power button then plug a USB cable in but the screen doesn't respond to touches. The same for both phones, they won't boot without a USB connected and will occasionally work once every 50 or so tries without the cable -.-.
I'm at a loss, I've searched the internet to find no help and everyone just saying "use the Sony repair tool" no. It doesn't work!

Awesome! Keypad fault interesting
hmm you said you had flashed another rom that means you had your bootloader unlocked and your warranty voided right?
Did they charge you for the repairs?

Yes i know that you mentioned it however i thought they would/could check the status using the IMEI and could tell if it was locked nlocked though admittingly getting the code to unlock it using th IMEI does not actually mean that you unlocked it... ut alrigh thanks again

Hi,
I have a Vietnam made Galaxy Note N7100 which is almost not usable, unit does not comes with any warranty as it is an export set. It runs on the default ROM and is not rooted. Initially the unit works well for a few hours after installing some apps and did some customisation, after I locked the phone, the phone seems to go into deep sleep. I'm not even able to shut off the phone. Worse still, taking out the battery and put in back after mins do not work. To turn the set on again, I got to take out the battery for a few hours or so, then I can start the unit again.
I initially thought it might be some software conflict, I did a factory reset and leave the phone there for a while, the issue persisted.
It is also not the battery issue as I have use the same battery on another N7100 and it works well.
Is there any advice on what can I do to remedy this issue?
Thanks

This came to me as well, but the set auto shut off before I can even root the unit.
Have a fix for you guys
I had the same problem after some messed up rom flash. If my Note 2's screen goes off for more than 10 seconds, I wouldn't be able to wake it back up without reboot... It was basically in an unusable state. Luckily after 2 whole days of digging I've found the solution.
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386
2. Scroll about 1/3rd of the way down and look for the attachment "BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip"
3. Flash the BOOTLOADER_N7100.zip with Odin using the Bootloader field
That's it!
Good luck guys. I created an account specifically to answer this question. It was a major pain in the ass finding a fix for this problem so I wanted to make sure I spread the fix on this issue so others don't need to suffer through the same thing.
SOS please
i now have the same issue where i tried the liquid rom on my n7100...as soon as it installed my phone started switching itself off within 5 secs and show a red battery light..and no love nor money can I get it on without rebooting..
i tried the bootloader in Odin after re installing the stock rom..but as soon as i select start..it fails??
Anything else?
I am also experiencing shutdowns with my Vietnam unit. I have 4.1.2 original ROM and I tried many possibilities to solve it. No success. The phone shuts off if I start an online radio (or tunein radio) and after max 2 min it shuts off. Doesn't matter if is on data plan or through router.
Had a problem of the phone freezing and had to restart the phone. Then again it would freeze after some time. Flashed stock rom with bootloader and pit but it still persisted. Sent it to the service centre and got my phone back yesterday after mb change. The new mb is with the newer firmware.

This is a real problem with the Galaxy Note 2. I built a quick site to showcase the problem and to post a video that shows exactly what is happening. I am unable to post external links, so just copy and paste the following domain in to a new browser, making sure to remove and replace the DOTs: wwwDOTgalaxynote2shutsoffDOTcom
note 2 switching off by its self
Had same problem, I switched of data, wi-fi bleutooth, gps, switched them on again 1 at a time.
Phone worked ok untill bluetooth was on again, then it shut down. I think the problem is with Bt.
I emailed samsung support who suggested i connect to kies to check i had latest firmware but i
knew i had, they also suggested a factory data restset, (settings- back up and reset- factory data reset).
Did this last week phone has been working fine since.
Hope this helps.
HORRIBLE

Same problem here, BT not working and my Note hangs every time the screen shuts off. I can wake it up immediately but after 8-10 seconds I am unable to turn it on again, must hard reset or take off the battery... No solution found so far. Flashing stock fails on sboot.bin also...
I have early version of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and according to emmccheck (?) I have insane chip. Last week my mobile phone is really messy. It freezes suddenly and I have to remove battery to start it again. Somethimes softbuttons does not work and sometime only notification bar works - I can roll up and down.
First I was thinking that it was because of battery - it has frozen mostly when I was always on low battery. Then it start frozen when I was on 50 % and so I was thinking it is facebook messenger. Because it frozen always when I was using chat. So I uninstall facebook messenger and it does not help, it still randomly freezes. It was very bad because one day I had to remove battery almost every 30 minut, so I uninstall facebook app and it was working.. but only for few hours. So then I made factory reset and then it was ok for the whole day. But today it has frozen again and I had to remove battery.
So I am scared of SDS. I do not want to go for service center because I need my phone. I was waiting for Note 3, so I was thinking that it will be ok to the new phone. But I am afraid that my phone will suddenly bricked and I read that Samsung warranty is really bad and they will not admit my warranty.
So what do you think guys? Is it SDS?
Thanks for help

Hello, it doesn't show any signs of sds, sds is a sudden moment a dead forever, which cannot be restored without replacing the motherboard. You should try to factory reset the phone, then check if it still continues.

It's not SDS, I think you just need to flash another firmware which has a fix for freezes (because I had the same problem with two different firmwares, until I flashed a correct one which has fixes for freezing issues) and of course don't forget to clean your cache, and wipe your data.

Do some research guys. SDS is a hardware issue where the phone gets bricked in certain situations.
In 4.1.2, SDS is averted by freezing the phone whenever the OS identifies that one of the "certain situations" applies.
The good point is that you no longer get a brick and can retrieve your data. Your phone is still fcuked though. back it up, unroot it and clear any counters then return it for motherboard (EMMC Chip) replacement.
I've been experiencing similar issues with my device (freezing, choppiness etc),
and it also suffers from the "insane chip issue".
does anyone here have any recommendations on what i can do to rule out that its indeed the brickbug issue?
If I were you, I will reset the binary count, flash stock recovery thru odin and reset the devices status imediately. Flash back stock rom thru odin and send it back to sscc immediately.
Sscc will replace your motherboard within 3 hours with foc. ( my country malaysia).
About sds issue it has syndrome especially you has upgraded to 4.1.2. The freezes just the sign of sds gonna happen.

I was on fb with my SGH - T999, the whole day the phone kept freezing, and turning off.
The last time, i was on fb and opened my gallery the phone just froze, shut down and refused to turn back on.
I tried charging, no light, no vibration. Tried power,home volume up nothing came up,
With the battery in i get no light
however when i take battery out, and put charger in i get a red light as if its charging
I still cant turn it on tho...
EDIT:
When i plug into computer, i hear a sound, but the comp says device not recognized. Please tell me this can be fixed
Also i have no warranty anymore...
Sounds like it could be bricked. Can you get it into download mode manually.

How do i do that, I tried the volume up,home and power, and i also tried volume down.
I didn't do anything in terms of flashing roms...so it cant be bricked can it?
Yes it can technically speaking I guess. Brick is meant a device that has no worth to it besides holding things down such as a brick would be used for. CPUs fail all the time this happens unfortunately on the s3 and other handsets as well.

See if you can download Odin 3.07 (you may need to install Samsung drivers as well). Once you get Odin running, plug in your phone. It should say COM# (where # is a number).
You say you were on original firmware. Did you make any changes? Flash anything? Or was it only using fb?
EDIT: The other possibility is to restart the phone in recovery (volume up + home + power) and do a factory reset. Unfortunately, that means losing all of your data, but it should hopefully get your phone running again.

I think there is a problem with the motherboard. This problem is called "sudden death syndrome"
Anyone know where i can get a SGH-T999 motherboard replaced cheap in Toronto,Ontario?
Sudden death syndrome is referring to an issue in the original firmware on the I9300. The T999 isn't plagued by this at all and the firmware isn't the culprit. The device is, however, over a year old, and hardware can, and does, fail sometimes.
Check google and ebay for your part.

Could it be hardbricked then: I wasn't flashing any firmware at all. I only rooted the phone to install some apps, but that was months ago, and i left the phone on 4.1.1
If it is hardbricked can i then just JTAG it back to life and not have to buy a new motherboard?
It sounds like it is a hardware failure, unfortunately.

I have a a Samsung galaxy note 4 Verizon, it started rebooting continuously after getting an update.
When I power it up, it shows a message 'Updating app 1/246 and increments it up to 103/246 but then it reboots. I noticed that phone heats up pretty bad. If you leave it alone it will start rebooting at app number 21 or so.
I am willing to put a custom rom or anything else that will work, but since I cannot boot it up, there is nothing that I could do. Please help.
I am a software developer myself but not into android / phones.
Thanks,
Model Number
Please note that the model number is SM-0N910V

My best suggestion would be to install odin on your computer as well as Samsung drivers and odin it back to stock. There are many guides on the very subject here on the forums. That or install Samsung smart switch on comp and phone and do an emergency recovery though that. Good luck!

Have you tried calling Samsung Customer Service (at 1-800-SAMSUNG)? They helped me to get my phone working again, although as it turns out I did have hardware problems, so I had to send it in to them and pay $70.31 since it was long out of warranty (2+ year old phone). Hopefully your problem is just software and they should be able to help you get that fixed without sending it in to them.
Hey there Fellow, i had the same problem, nothing wrong with the system. Just change the battery. Goodluck. I bought one for $7.
Do a hard reset and restore your phone to its factory settings.
