No Pit Partition.. Am I bricked?

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.

So do we have a solution as of date? what can be done or something?

Just upgrade your FW. Fix has been implemented since January, 2013 in Samsung FWs.

hey, i have the SAME problem here. i'm wondering you got fixed or not. i have unlocked on so don't even know where i should go for warranty because i got it from Amazon.

I am having the exact problem as the OP. Were you able to fix it? I got my phone from eBay, contacted Samsung Canada, and they said I'd have to go contact Samsung Hong Kong

hii
Who sells a motherboard for Note 2 ???

Help, I have snow!

So I wanted to root my phone. I followed the instructions etc on galaxynote2root.com and everything went well. Then a few minutes later my phone went to the downloading do not turn off target page by itself. I took the battery out and tried to reboot. Now all i get is a page that can only be described as snow. I tried to use odin to unroot the phone and I get no PIT partition.
Someone please help!?

You need to get back into download mode and reinstall fresh or a backup. If you can't do that chances are you'll have to send it in somewhere to be reflashed.

i can get into download mode. i tried using odin with the stock rom from samsung and thats when i get 'there is not PIT partition'

How did u root your note 2? i guess you have missed an important step check again

what ut note2 version ? how u root it ? what rom version u were running ?

GT-N7100 on stock rom

so I took it to a samsung service centre today. They put it in download mode and saw 'system status custom'. They said they will not touch it and will send it back to samsung but it will cost me £120 as the warranty is voided. I'm sure I have read on here that even unrooted phones can say custom and not official, is this right?

No. If you failed rooting your phone, then your warranty is void. You can try to use triangle away, so it will change your counter to 0. But I'm not sure if in that case it's going to change your status to "not touched".
Things you can try:
1.Get stock rom. (Look in Dr.Ketans topic)
2.Flash it
3.If you need .pit file. Use google to find it.(Remember that you have to get the right version!)
4.If your phone works fine.
5.Enjoy!

No! You're in the EU, presumably, so you have in fact not automatically voided warranty.
I don't have a link here right now, but Google and search these forums for info about the EU directive that you can take to the service center. There is a thread about it in the note 2 forums. Basically, they have to prove that rooting is the direct cause for malfunction, which is practically impossible, to have your warranty voided.
Having said that, I'm not exactly sure on your case, seeing how you lost Pit, they might be able to see that and prove that your rooting and tinkering was the cause, but I doubt it.

Help i deleted my Efs file!

Hi everyone... I rooted my samsung galaxy note 2 to android revultion HD and to my avail... I can't make phonecalls and text obviously i didn't know anything about Efs back up it said recommended but wasn't check at this time i was just hitting next,next ect. ect. and then the phone starts up working and rooted! I get extremely happy then i try to make a phone call but nope mobile network is avalabile i check my baseband (Unknown) Imei(Unknown) take in mind i'm exteremly new to this and had no clue about the EFS or Imei number ect. I am tech savy with other products such as Jtag (For xbox 360) but this was my first root and i know i messed up... So let me sum everything up. I Have a two-year contract with verizon and Total Full Coverage, But i'm assuming this voids warrenty right... I called verizon and made up a story saying... I left my phone at work and it was stolen for about a week i then told everyone at work if it wasn't returned a week later that i would be tracking the phone with the police and that the phone was returned the next morning on my desk... and that i was missing the simcard and everything was wiped... They simple told me to come in and they will replace the sim card for free... Now my phone is still rooted... I'm going to stock flash it with odin or at least try... Will simply getting a new sim card work or do i need a whole new phone?... and should i even unroot it stock?... or take it in with SuperUs and said thats how i found it when i got it back stolen...? Please help...

Hi,
Just explaining. EFS is kind of a folder that contains the IMEI number and other MAC addresses of WIFI or Bluetooth. What happened when you rooted and flashed a ROM is that the EFS folder has been modified. There are many reasons why this happens. So, changing a new SIM won't work. You would have to fill the IMEI number and the other MAC addresses to make phones calls and etc.,
Regarding whether to leave the phone with root or not, It depends on you whether you can make up a convincing story to avoid charges for re-instating the IMEI number back by Samsung.
You can change it to Stock if you want to, but Verizon can easily find out that you had rooted it since IMEI number won't be wiped by any other way..

Oh thats not good.... What would you do in my situation.... I'm taking my phone up to verizon tommorow... to see if they can provide me with what i need to do.... and if they find out it was rooted will they not help me at all and just tell me to pay full price for a new phone (keep in mind the galaxy note 2 is $800 still) also i have total full coverage... + that convincing story... and its my first phone with verizon aka first problem... please tell me they will fix it without charging me....

Have you flashed a N7100 rom on a N7105 or vice versa as that will make baseband unknown and can be fixed.

Nope it doesn't look like i did... My model number is GT-N7100 and the Rom i put on it was this Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100)
Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.2)
Download Android Revolution HD 19.0... Both N7100 any ideas? i would love to get this fixed... If its not fixable please provide suggestions anyone that helps me fix this problem or provides good enough info i will give $5-10 paypal... its not much... but i'm a college student.. trying to make a living... Thanks so much guys...

This is what happens when you don't even read the thread, but just download the file and keep pressing next. I guess you learned that you should READ before you flash. You might wanna try flashing the original firmware from Sammobile. But I guess you're in a pretty big problem now.

Hi,
The first mistake you have done is that your phone model is not N7100. It is different for Verizon. That's the reason your IMEI number got screwed up when you flashed a rom of N7100.
The Fail in Odin is not a big deal as it might have been because there could have been two usb connections made or as you said changing usb ports.
Please verify whether the ROM supports your Verizon model before flashing.
Also, There will be still a counter and status that would indicate that you've rooted before If you want to reset these counters then search in the forum and you'll be able to find out.

Thank you good sir! Yes i believe the program is called triangle away and you have to be rooted to access it.... I was going to do it while i was rooted but they want $2.50 for it.... just to reset counters.. i've seen plenty get warrantys restored even tho they didn't reset the counter verizon/samsung doesn't have time to check every single phone its just to be extra safe

You make out like resetting the counters is easy or something. It isn't and it's reasonable price for the app.
I suggest you go to the Verizon Note II forum next time unless you want to break your phone again.

I had similar problem. May be you haven't deleted it. The #4 comment is kinda right. By mistake I wiped my internal storage without backup or without writing down the baseband and build numbers. I had to flash numerous stock roms until I was able to make phone calls and receive msgs. Also on stock roms that were not for my phone the imei # was different from the one on the box, starting with 0049 or something.

First of all
Flash stock and the might sort the baseband out
If that doesnt work just send it in after unrooting. I had a similiar problem but I acted dumb and said it just happened and they took it in and repaired within 12 days.

Install a custom recovery. Like TWRP and than flash it with odin (download mode) then reboot to recovery and try to wipe everything with it.

Has anyone considered that the tablet may be stolen and we should not give ideas on how to recover it? Contact Samsung and with valid proof of purchase, they may help.

I think it's pretty likely the reactivation lock is activated which is precisely to prevent use of a stolen device. You can't do anything except contact the original owner. If it's legit they can disable the reactivation lock.

Dude, its called odin and download mode. So you flash it manually on your pc. Im not sure if the twrp recovery for T800 works on T805. Idk something will need to link you to that.
To enter download mode: power off device. Then hold power, home, vol down at the same time till a screen pops up. Click yes. Now your in download mode.
Open odin on your pc and connect your tab s to pc. Now click pda/ap in odin and select the tar recovery img you downloaded. Now click start and it should flash

you means that i can instal TWRP via odin just like to flash any firmware via odin
it's correct or not
sorry for disturbance but
very kind of both of ur response
thanks
if you have any of t800 then please tell me i'll try it also
thanks again

Yes you can install twrp like flashing firmware
@Tkkg1994 what twrp did you use for T805?

Actually "Tkkg1994"
i purchased this online and he did't mention this problem and when i got my parcel
i was just shocked
i think he's got this from any abroad country i'm from Pakistan
and many people told me online that it's DEMO device
The problem is
screen is locked with pass code and fingerprint scans
and when i trying to hard reset through recovery mood then error " MDM not allowed to reset ...!"
even i flashed it with odin but nothing happen
ahhhh
that is my problem man (

If the seller is not willing to give the unlock code, then there's a possibility that you are in receipt of stolen goods. Why not disclose the seller's name and link to site?
If you can't do this, there is a possibility your case is suspicious and I wouldn't advise others to help until you prove you have bought the device legitimately.

i know that sir you are not willing to help me
but here in my country there no check and balance
and no one is responsible after that means that purchasing through individually
i'm not talking about ebay , amazon , etc and these are not working in my country
any thing else you want my purchasing i'll provide info MAN
thanks for replying at least

As your purchase seems suspicious to me and Im pretty sure you can buy one brand new from many known sites for really cheap, amazon, etc. Where exactly did you buy this tablet from? Did you get it from a website, or a person in real life. New tablets dont come with fingerprint locks. If you can give me that, then Ill go on in assisting you.

You have this options:
1. Give it to some IT specialist, who maybe can find out whose tablet it is. (maybe send it to samsung)
2. Try to reach the seller.

What repair shop is that ? Is it Samsung official service center ?
Considering the number of times your phone put you in trouble,
I suspect something wrong with your PC. Because all of us have at
some point messed up their phones and we just flash the sammobile
firmware to restore our devices to full functionality.
But that is not the case with your phone.
Speaking of company rom, i think it has the 4 file firmware.
Meaning it has PDA file (with system), BOOT(kernel),
Bootloader,BL and CSC files. Maybe he is using a pit file that works with
kitkat bootloaders.

We do not yet have a 4 file kitkat firmware. We also do not have a pit file that works with knox 2 bootloader.
You can ask the repair shop guy for the firmware. Maybe he will give those files for some price.

Take some pictures of your boot loader and some screen shots of your "about phone" from main settings. Also have a look at this app. Can give you some very detailed info about what's running on your phone currently https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Have you tried using kies again? Just wondering if your phone will connect thru that and maybe you could update your software thru this. ...and then maybe your could try changing firmware with Odin afterwards? ? Only an idea. I'm not an expert just a phone user like yourself.
I'm wondering if the shop you went to used something like a jtag which can restore phones directly thru chips instead of the normal Odin way we use. I'm wondering how the shop owner got his hands on a "company" rom. ...
A final solution maybe to take your phone to Samsung themselves to flash it back to its original state.
....that or sell the phone and buy another one to replace it. Might work out cheaper than sending it to Samsung because I have a feeling your not under warranty?
