Hi,

I think I have the SDS bug on my N7100. My phone crashed during a morning wake-up alarm and it won't boot again. I want to sent it for repair because it's under warranty only I can't flash my recovery to stock (or don't know how to do it) i'm currently using Philz Recovery.

Does anyone now how I can flash stock recovery or even if it's possible.

What i tried to fix my problem:

1. Tried to flash the original stock rom from sammobile using odin, it says it's passed and flashed system/cache/boot/recovery images. But then when I reboot it's still stuck at Samsung Bootloader logo. when i enter recovery it's still Philz Recovery.

2. Tried to flash recovery while using fastboot, but it won't recognize the device in download mode or recovery mode.

3. When i boot into recovery none of the partitions get mounted. I get the following error using: adb shell "dmesg | grep mmc0"

Code:
<3>[    2.124315] c3 mmc0: Version ID 0x5342240a.

<3>[    2.295265] c0 mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising MMC card

And when I run adb shell "ls /dev/block" i don't see any reference to the internal storage MMC card:
Code:
adb shell "ls /dev/block"
loop0  loop2  loop4  loop6  ram0   ram10  ram12  ram14  ram2   ram4   ram6   ram8   vold
loop1  loop3  loop5  loop7  ram1   ram11  ram13  ram15  ram3   ram5   ram7   ram9

Also when booting it points out that it can't mount any of the partitions.

Thanks in advance,

Jesse

If you can get the Samsung boot screen it is not sds. Sds the phone will not turn on. I would try the recovery firmware from skipsoft.net. There is a thread on here for mskips toolkit, but that is the website for it

Thanks tried it with mskips toolkit but it couldn't get futher then 'waiting for ADB mode'. When i run "adb devices" my device popups although in recovery mode or sideload mode. I cannot mount any device that should be available on internal storage. Also flashing the device using a zip file that's pushed to external storage (like twrp or cwm) in Philz Recovery won't stick :( . Also tried to repartition using a PIT file but no afail... (although it says it passed).

Seems like i'm screwed ...

Hi I'm having exactly the same problem with my Galaxy S3 GT-i9300. I get exactly the same logs from ADB, and get a write fail from Odin when I try to write a new PIT file.

Did you have any success resolving your problem? I'm starting to think I might need to replace the eMMC.

Thanks!!
