Hello everyone~
I was planning to by the Ruby wine version of Galaxy note 2 n7100 but I kept getting worried about SDS since the phone boxes here doesnt show the manufaturing date on the box.
So I was thinking of buying the LTE Pink n7105 version.
Am I safe from sds if I get the n7105 one?
I need your opinion guys~
:fingers-crossed:
There are patches here on the forum to prevent SDS. And some say you just need to update your firmware to 4.1.2, cause it has a patch to prevent SDS too.
Anyway, search around about SDS and the patch. And if you think you can apply it, go for the GT7100.

only the 16gb version is affected with SDS. but the 'ruby wine' colour option will be safe i think because only early batch of n7100 is affected. nevertheless,buying n7105 would be safe too.

as far as I know..this is a hardware chip bug..the patches or fixes just perform some sort of skipping or ignoring a section like some memory address but that is done by the kernel...if you flash another ROM which most likely will have a different kernel chances are the phone will be bricked !!! and the only solution is to send it to Samsung repair store... for a mother board replacement probably which means...just buy another phone !!! that's if your not in warranty

I'm using the N7105 it didn't have the bug.... I don't think this model is affected but if it is then it's rare...this model is better anyways as it supports LTE which is the fastest cellular data/internet connectivity on the planet ryte now.... the only problem with this model is if you planning to flash custom ROMs ALWAYS backup your EFS else you can flash a ROM and may replace/destroy your modem/network portion of your phone...as most ROMs are ported from other variants and devs may overlook this and the other modems of the other models get flashed onto your phone instead replacing the current one and you will loose network connectivity... or jus wait a month or so and buy the note 3 coming out soon

UPDATE
I finally bought my note 2.
but Its the titanium gray LTE version. the store ran out of stock of rube wine and pink .
I'm happy with with my pjone now though.
and oh, GT-N7105 is safe from sds cause when I ran the eMMC check it says 0xf7.

Yes f7 version is safe but make sure u do all modding as per n7105 files and dont end up flashing n7100 international version rom or files and last keep efs backup safe
Good luck

Hi guys, I have been recently reading a few Note 2's dying of SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome). This has affected previous Galaxy S3 phones, and now some versions of Note 2.
========= Note: This is different from the exynos bug ==========
To check, install "eMMC Check" from google play and run it. Disregard the message saying Brick bug = No. Sane chip, and look at your eMMC chip type and FWRev.
If your:
Type: VTU00M
FwRev: 0xf1
your phone is affected by the bug.
I have read that Andreilux's Perseus kernel V31.2 (Perseus alpha31 (09/01)) temporarily repairs this bug. I am running his kernel anyway. But my question is, how many of you guys have the above chip?
AndreiLux said:
It does include the fix but otherwise they're outdated, same story as on the S3.
Updated to 31.2; same changes as on the S3:
Samsung's fix for the sudden death syndrome (SDS) included. It is caused by eMMC failure on phones with VTU00M 16GB internal memory chips with revision 0xF1. You can check your phone with the "eMMC Brickbug Check" in the Play Store (Ignore the message if it says you're not affected, the type and revision is what matters). The patch is a firmware soft-patch that is applied on every boot and MMC resume, it is not a permanent fix. You will need to stay forever on kernels which include the patch, this also includes updated recoveries and their embedded kernels.

What do you recommend for flashing - cwm or twrp.....I just red that twrp was updated that soft patch for SDS so i guess it wouldn't be a problem with flashing through it....
I now have cwm 6.1.5 and i guess it's not patched because its rather old (2-3 months).....But i just want to know is twrp as good as cwm - never used it
Either use the official 4.1.2 or the v31 from perseus to avoid the SDS, correct?
Are there any reports of SDS on the Note 2 to begin with ?

I'm using TWRP now coming from CWM...they're both good at doing what they're advertised to do...although twrp has extra options and looks a bit better as the keys are larger and fill the entire screen and it has a file explorer and allows you to backup you're entire phone either on the internal or external memory sort of like an image of a hard drive on my computer.

Well, it's too bad that we can't flash the desires ROMs and kernels. Is CM10 safe?
I just flashed stock ROM XXDLL4, rooted and reset counter. If it dies, I hope it will die as soon as possible so I can get rid of it. I can't take the risk of losing 600€ because Samsung are making buggy smartphones. I'm right now forced to stay on stock, just to not lose warranty.
However, are you guys 100% sure the bug is fixed in XXDLL7 and Perseus kernel?

No update would be able to change your emmc chip physically(Hence no change in emmc chip name).

Does fixing with software can change your hardware?
your chip is faulty and will remain faulty ever unless you change motherboard
Patching just stops issuing commands which believe to cause SDS.
Hi, i have this phone...
GT-N7100
Android: 4.1.5
Baseband: N7100ZCALH3

Downloaded Odin Mobile and i get an error : A compatible device was detected but with an unexpected partition layout. Mobile odin cannot operate. This is a common error on CM and MIUI ROMs on some devices
I have never tried flashing a rom to a android phone before, and must say i am pretty "green"..
I really hope on some help

I want to flash firmware 4.2+ from 4.1.9 gt n7100 built cnanzhi Samsung made by Korea
I root with kingo because cannot enter dload mode. Then I install mobile Odin
And it says ..but with an expected partition layout. How I going to solve this
I think that in practice what you are trying to do is install a ROM that is made for SG Note 2 to your phone, that's not a Note 2... Hopefully it gave an error and it wasn't possible because if your phone did flash the ROM, I think that you would end up with a bricked China Note 2 instead of a working one
Mine is I think original Samsung Galaxy Note II or the least recond bcoz I checked at the back Samsung made in Korea assembled in china and comes with warranty. And FYI I would like to flash cwm ROM and flash 4.2+ like jellybean or kitkat sir but I just can't enter download mode but I didn't yet used adb download mode bcoz its very big to download man.half a gig.Thanksgiving

Wondering if anyone was daring enough to try flashing the International N9005 firmware on the Tmo Note3?
Looking at buying a Tmo Note 3 soon to run on ATT and would love to have it run the International N9005 Firmware (no carrier bloat)
If you have can you provide the details info? also will you get the updates like a normal N9005? any chance of an update containing a radio update that will brick the phone?

I would think Flashing any n9005 ROM (which usually is modem-less), would work since the hardware is the same.

Hello guys, sorry if this is a noob question for you Sammy guys (I'm more used to Nexus devices), but I was wondering if it is possible to update the baseband version on this device? More specifically, I was wondering if I could update to an international radio/modem? If not, does anyone know where to find the latest radios for each device. I tried searching but only could come up with an older thread for the version I already have (MDL). On my Nexus One and HTC One S we could flash any baseband we wanted, international or carrier release. Thanks!

No.
Do not flash any radio other than the ones made for your device. At best it won't boot. At worst it won't let you Odin back to the correct radio and it will never boot.

Spot on. Apparently, T-Mo is supposed to release their 4.3 update early to mid November (consult General Section for source). Then and only then would we be able to use a 4.3 TW ROM without cell network wonking out like a drunk. Hopefully T-Mobile could be at least 1/3rd useful this time and actually push out an update for once.. (you can feel my hatred towards carriers...... =.=).
EDIT: SOURCE THREAD, towards the last few pages starts the talk of the rumored T-Mo Nov. release.

There is no M919 Tmobile 4.3 dump.
That's the problem, the only dump and the flashable zipfile rom
available as of yet is for the international versions of the S4's.
Flashing an international version of the 4.3 rom into our M919
phones even if it worked properly we would be losing wifi calling
and most like the LTE feature plus who knows what else.
You are wrong there is a t mobile4.3 dump for very long posted in general section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478553

We CAN run the TW 4.3 ROMs and have full LTE as normal (except for Wi-Fi calling b/c that's a T-Mo specific feature), the only issue is that data randomly cuts in and out. I don't understand how I could run AOSP 4.3 with no issues but 4.3 TW gives problems...
The thing is, only us T-Mo users have data issues, not the international or any other carrier. So it MUST be the radio version that is the cause of the problems, which is why we must wait for T-Mo to finally release an update...
Has anyone dare to flash international MJ5, JM6 modem? I mean our bootloader is unlock right? If it don't work can we just flash back our old modem? Just a thought.
