[Q] Another Sudden Death, Am I screwed?

[colibri2]

Note II GT-N7100, Android 4.1.2 - Stock_Odex_Rooted_N7100XXDMB2_N7100OXEDMB1_N7100XXDLK7_SER

Phone was charging during night and I found it stucked with N7100 logo on screen.

I read all threads here about SDS, I can go do download mode and tried to flash recovery with ODIN, but get error: There is no PIT partition.

Does it mean I totally screwed with SDS and nothing can be done?
Service center is the only way?

Thanks.

Which recovery and kernel you had?
Do you able to access recovery and download mode?
What is written on Rt upper corner in download mode?

 

[colibri2]

dr.ketan, thank you for reply.

Recovery and kernel was stock from Android 4.1.2 - Stock_Odex_Rooted_N7100XXDMB2_N7100OXEDMB1_N7100XX DLK7_SER firmware from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915386

I have access to download but not recovery mode.

Left upper corner in download mode:

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

It seems SDS only, don't do anything and send it to service centre.
BTW since how long you were on this ROM ?
One more thing, have this ROM contains sboot.img file? (you may see it by extracting tar) and have you flashed bootloader separately?

Just few days on this ROM, I was on 4.1.1 similar stock rooted, but phone started to reboot randomly and lose information like SMS and system settings. I was on 4.1.1 for 5 months with any problems. So I made to decision it may be hardware glitch but wanted to give my phone one more try with newer firmware.

Yes, TAR file has sboot.bin file and my previous firmware - Stock_Root_Odex_N7100XXALJ1_N7100OXEALI8_N7100XXALIH_SER doesn't.

I flashed 4.1.2 with Mobile ODIN, all partitions at the same time.

That highly suggest your device was already damaged while on previous rom. Now it is precipitated. Somehow damage may not be on system rom area so you could able to flash latrst rom.

Seems so.
And re-partitioning can't help?

 

[dr.ketan]

Nothing will help.

Lucky me My previous Google Nexus S (made by Samsung) died the same way.

Anyway thank you for help.

The problem was 4.1.1 version damaged your MMC...It was too late to put the 4.1.2 version..

So dont worry 4.1.2 users. No one got SDS with 4.1.2...

Mobile ODIN don't flash bootloaders!
It is your fault, you should flash 4.1.2 with "desktop" ODIN.

And 4.1.2 is safe, if you flash it properly.

 

[dr.ketan]

Bootloader doesn't have patch for sds but it's patched for exynose bug isn't?
Sds believed to be patched with kernel and recovery, here issue seems due to damage already took place on older rom.

I agree with dr.ketan post, damage was taken on 4.1.1 already and SDS patch is in kernel, not in bootloader.

Gonna visit service center and post you how much it will cost to fix my phone.

 

[dr.ketan]

If your device is under warranty then you will have nothing to pay.
According your downloaf information, binary count also 'no' so they can't deny under warranty

Yes that's true, but I bought phone in another country and Samsung doesn't have worldwide warranty, at least in Russia.

 

[dr.ketan]

Oh I can feel for you bro
Expect 200 usd approximately.

This is keyword, it is believed
None of us knows, where ALL fixes for sds are.

Then it is also believed to be patched
who know it is patched or not ?
elite developers here on samsung believes it is patched and same way they said they found some patch in kernel and recovery.

If Apple messed up like this we wouldn't hear the end of it from the Fandroids
