Hi all,
so yesterday my note 2 died not sure if its sudden death as I never did the MMC check thingy and when I try to power up I dont even get a red light flashing or anything.
Its a N7105 Telstra phone but was flashed with nordic 4.4. I woke up yesterday morning to see the LED was flashing to indicate new email. However phone wouldnt wake up no response.
Hard shut down by holding down power button until device powered off after that no power on, tried removing battery, booting into recovery / download mode, plugging to PC with USB, trying a different battery.. Nothing
So phone is 18 months and out of warranty do you think I should return to Samsung was thinking they wont fix it even if it is SDS because its not on the telstra rom (although still Samsung official)
Advice please I was just contemplating taking it to a local phone shop to have motherboard replaced I guess thought it should be cheaper and quicker than sending back to Sammy / Telstra?
Cheers

Tragically my Note 2 (N7100) has failed me yesterday. I was on my way home with very little battery, with my phone in my pocket. When i plugged it in i noticed it had died and came up with the battery symbol. I tried powering it on with no success and it hasn't worked since. I have tried different cables, USB charging etc. The computer doesn't detect it when plugged in, I can't go into recovery or download mode and all I get is the red sensor light flashing faintly every few seconds when I press and hold the power button.
I've been doing some reading in the past 6 hours and it points to SDS but most people could get in recovery and all. Is this my case? Can I check the emmc version by opening the phone (never had warranty because I was foolish enough to buy this from someone).
I have flashed countless ROMs, never had a problem, never bricked, always fixed any quirks I had but this is a bit beyond me. I was on Omnirom 4.4.2...

IF u cant go to download, recovery mode, and ge the red sensors light flashing, i think its 99% SDS problem.
U should go to the nearest Samsung Centre to confirm and fix it actually
I searched the forums but I didn't found the answer to my problem.
I have a Note 2 (N7100) 16Gb. It was running Omni ROM and was on Devil Kernel. I left my phone in my desk and when I came back it was off. It had 65% of battery left. I tried to turn it back on but it did not worked. I took out the battery and put it back again but it won't turn on. I took out the SIM, SD and battery and tried turning it on connected to the wall power, it also didn't work.
I haven't dropped or smash it against something it just randomly turn off. The phone can't go to recovery or download mode. There is no LED or Galaxy logo when trying to turn it on.
I heard about the SDS, but I thought that was patched already. Also I thought about the battery contacts in the phone, but I think that isn't the problem since even when connected to the wall socket it won't turn on.
The phone is 1 year old and I have not had any problems before.
Is there any solution that I can do or I have to send it to repair. The problem is I live in Ecuador and the prices of repair are very high and is difficult to find a trusted rapid center.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, my galaxy s3 died one day last year and I haven't been able to resurrect it since..inserting battery results in a vibration, samsung logo, then it dies until I pull the battery again. Today I had the sudden urge to try fixing it and got different results than I had previously. I cleaned a bunch of lint from the charging port and am now able to get a short red light flash when the phone is plugged in, followed by a vibration, then the battery charging logo, then death once again. Randomly I'll get the cyanogenmod bootup screen when repeating this cycle but for no longer than a second or two before the phone dies again. I've disassembled the phone and cleaned as much dust and crap as possible to no avail. Any recommendations? Could the power button be frozen? My samsung infuse had a stuck power button and would boot loop but my S3 doesn't seem to be boot looping. Just turning on then dying until I fiddle with the power button again.
I want to rule out sudden death...
I had a sudden death on a note 2.
Download a good compatible (with your baseband) ROM.
Fool with the phone. Like really. Keep trying to turn it on, try recovery mode. I fixed one of these. It wasn't quite the same but I still have it. And it works. If the screen wasn't cracked to hell I'd be on it.
Another option may be trying a debrick image on an external sdcard. You should use one based on the same modem and baseband installed on the phone when it last worked.
So yesterday I was trying to make a phone call and the phone went dead. I tried turning it back on but to no avail. When connected to a charger, it just shows the battery for a while and then it disappears and reboots to showing it again only to reboot itself again. Needless to say, I am stuck with a bricked phone. I managed to get it up and running by flashing the stock rom but after update to Android 7.0 the problem came back after like 10 hours. Now I can't even get into bootloader without the phone being connected to a charger, which is a problem because I can't flash anything through charger obviously. Connecting the phone through USB does not work, the phone stays dead like it is out of juice. With that being said I think it might be a faulty bootloader. The power button is fine, so I think we can count this option out. Any other ideas? I am considering taking the phone to the shop where I bought it as it is still under warranty but because it is not Google they might refuse to replace it with a new one or repair it. Is there anything I can do?
EDIT: I sent it to LG.

I had the same issue just a few weeks ago, did you ever get it back? How long did it take? Was covered under warranty?
Thanks - Ed
Rooted and ran https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947875 as a custom rom forever ago. Worked flawlessly no issues.
While trying to recover some old photos/messages from the phone. I had a couple random restarts due to macgyvering a different samsung battery at a close to 3.7Volts as the replacement battery I got forever ago was bloated and inop. I was able to salvage somethings but not everything before I decided to get stop getting frustrated and struggling and purchase a new correct OEM battery. After being unable to charge the battery either through the phone (had the dim blinking blue led) or external charger. Froze the replacement battery put it on my external charger and got it juiced up. When it was charged I threw it in the phone and got a black screen and solid blue LED while charging or trying to boot. I can get the led to flash by holding power and vol down, but then it just stays blue.
Power + Vol Down gets me nowhere, Power + Vol Up & Down same deal. So I bought a micro USB jig. Still nothing.
Tried ODIN3 v1.85, 3.13.1, Samsung Kies, some other Odin 1 touch. Can't get the phone to connect to pc or post a screen to recovery. Using Samsung USB Driver Version 1.5.65.0
So im trying to preserve the data that is hopefully remaining that I want, and get the device to boot.
I can only assume based on searching the forum, that my phone is hard bricked and potentially the only option to recover anything from it at this point is a JTAG. Or I'm SOL.
