Some fiddling with the device seems to have solved the problem. Here is what I did:

1. disabled the CosmeticSysScopeNormalizer in the Xposed Framework.

2. used trianlge away; This made the flash counter 0 and the system status official in download mode

3. then I tried wiping data of Sysscope (both Enterprise and the other one) but the device status under settings was still modified.

4. re-enabled the CosmeticSysScopeNormalizer in Xposed Framework.

Result: Now I have everything fine in download mode and a normal status under settings also.

Don't know for how long this would solve the issue!

I appreciate your timely replies. Thanks a lot dr. ketan.

It remains modified untill you unroot you phone. But don't afraid of system status.

[MENTION=386689]doctor[/MENTION] ,How much percentage of note 2 users faced SDS in india to date?:confused:

And second is ,one thing i don't understand is SDS is software issue or Hardware?

From last 10 months i am following both (sgs3 & note2) SDS threads! ,i found ONE THING ,some are calling it software issue & giving patches to it.:rolleyes:

But some serious peoples are calling it hardware issue and stated that sgs3 & note2 sharing same SOC?:confused:

and also saying that those have emmc version VTU00M & 0×f1 are affected! :what:

So my question is ,my little brother is planning to buy a note2 in next week,can it is ok to investing on this little sds bomb?:(

So,my huble request is ,Please Give me any suggestions to taking any right decision on it:)

Plus,he does't like any other brand than sammy:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
It's difficult to say exact percentage of sds but now a days are rare.

It's hardware issue and fixed with software.

Explain you in non techy way

In s3 and note2 eMMC chip which samsung have supplied were faulty and causing sds. Later on samsung released new kernel which blocks command /Action which causing eMMC brick. So all newer rom released after jan 2013 are sds patched but if you have that faulty chip and you use older(before 2013) 4.1.1 rom (kernel/recovery) than it can brick.

Latest device samsung supplies are having newer chips and doesn't have this fault. But you can still check whether your chip is faulty or not. But if you use latest rom then nothing to worry you have even faulty chip.
[Galaxy Note II General] optimusPRIME:
Thank you very much sir,for your clear opinion on it.

All things cleared, thanks. :)

Note 3 Event in New Delhi at 17th September ????

Has anyone heard about any rumored upcoming Samsung launch event in India because earlier this evening i was at a Samsung store in Bangalore to verify the exact price of the Note 3. Now, he tells me that there will be a Note 3 launch event some time soon in India. After that, they'll start out the pre-ordering and announce the pricing for the Note 3 and Gear. So, i did a quick Google search and found this article

http://www.igyaan.in/58585/exclusive-samsung-launch-galaxy-note-3-gear-17th-september/

According to this article" There will be a launch event taking place in New Delhi on 17th of September and 16GB variant will be priced under Rs. 50,000."

At first, i thought this article was total B.S but that was until i read this :

"Although the 32GB variant was the smallest version announced at IFA, we have heard that Samsung may launch a 16 GB variant to keep the price low in markets like India."

I remember reading this article last month : http://www.ibtimes.com/samsung-gala...y-8mp-camera-variant-release-emerging-markets

According to them "Samsung would release LCD and AMLOED display variants of the Galaxy Note 3 in order to avoid supply shortages of its AMLOED displays the ET News article indicates that this LCD/8-megapixel camera variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 would likely account for 30 percent of the device’s initial production volume. There's no word on exactly which countries would receive this variant, but China, India and Brazil all qualify as emerging markets. Perhaps we may see Samsung orchestrate this component breakdown similarly to how it does with its processor variants, in which case more Asian, African and Middle Eastern countries would receive the LCD display and 8-megapixel camera variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. And European and North American countries would receive a variant with a different type of display, likely an AMLOED screen of some sort and a 13-megapixel camera. "

So i guess this is the Note 3 16GB mini variant with 8 MP and LCD priced some where under 50k .

Would you A. Shell out more than 50K for a 32/64gb variant or B.Wait for the 16GB mini variant.

P.S : I WISH I WAS WRONG AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO POSTED ABOUT ANY RUMORS WHERE WRONG

On a fun note do you want the next version of Android letter 'L' to be ladoo http://ladoo.co/ Well these guy's are campaign and begging Google to make that happen.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
I hope this report isn't true. I don't want a crippled or 2nd class version of the Note 3. Samsung should give customers a choice; that's either a top of the rack model and a slightly lower spec model.

Edit: if it's only the lower spec model on offer, I may retain my note 2 and skip an upgrade.
[Galaxy Note II General] eyan2011:
*Fingers crossed* I hope so too.

But Samsung is giving us a choice here

You can either buy the premium one with 32/64GB at (I'm guessing) 52-55 k or wait for a couple of months and me might see a 16gb trimmed down note 3 at less than 50k hopefully even more lesser than that.

do same with setting storage too.

Remember this will reset all your setting you have made changes in setting page and you have to configure it again
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
Thanks for your reply

But that problem looks resolved

It is now currently working all right.

Maybe this was one off incident

1. how to get old gtalk app on moon rom v 10 (based on MG1)

2. Voice call gets disconnected after 90 minutes, I want to increase this time or remove it, it annoys when call gets disconnected in middle of something.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
The disconnection always happens during battery level is low.. Below 20 percent i guess that might be a reason too
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
1 .simply replace older gtalk to system/app

I am also using older.

2.i have really never talk so long and never know this is phone feature or network feature.

awww! note3 to be launched at a price of 48k around need to wait till the price drops till then long live NoteII, I was expecting it to be around 42 -44k but it has soared way to high :p:p
[Galaxy Note II General] pxdx:
Note II also got an MRP of Rs. 39900/- when it got launched but never got sold at that price.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
I got it on second day for 38.5 k

After one or two weeks it will be affordable.

Hope we get 32 or even 64 gb version available for note 3. 16gb is just not enough.

One question will it support 64 gb card without any problems such as exfat formatting?

[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
I agree but Samsung is turning in to Sony and Sony is turning in to Samsung. You have to shell 2 note 2's (2*25k = 50k) for a note 3. Its priced heavily. Hope they keep the iPhone 5s pricing same.
[Galaxy Note II General] kdskamal:
I also got it on second day for 38.5k. Samsung reduced the price to 35k in less than a month. Got frustrated.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Not 35k but it was near 33k I have bought just after 1 month.

And still I believe note3 won't have tag more than 42-43k at end of a month.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mr. Perfect:
main difference between note 2 & note 3 ?
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
Good camera and more RAM. Of course better processor. Depends on what you use in your phone also. IMO upgrade is not really necessary. Note 2 is still a beast. If you want better camera go for Z1. Their camera is the best.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
More plus point for me is 32 gb internal storage. Really reduces need for rooting

I dont know why note 2 didnt come in 32 gb version.

Todays mobile games and apps take too much internal space.

Anybody knows if 64 gb version is available in india.

[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Why is rooting such a big deal? I mean okay, probably for the average user, yes. But why are we, XDA users, making a big deal about it? Maybe it's just me not 'getting it', but just asking.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
Nothing big deal about rooting because on xda there are very talented people who make stuff simple for general user like me.

I have lots of apps and game loft games which finishes internal storage.

Thats why 32gb sammy phone is plus for me.

Primary need for rooting for me was to use folder mounting software so that internal storage is kept free.

Hope we get 64 gb version here...

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Note3 indian version is exynos 5 and if I am not wrong still s4 also doesn't have support for Triangle away.

If that happens with note3 then you have to take big risk to root. We know samsung have bad tracks of record on note series. Both note1 and 2 had brick bug and voiding warranty is not affordable.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
Thanks dr. Ketan

Does note 2 will support 64 gb sd card without any problems

And will we get 64 gb version here?

Anyone :(
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
What you are getting by dialing *#1234#

If csc is different than mg1 then you have to Reflash csc.

If it is mg1 and still you are getting this likely your efs is corrupted. To check this install check fus from store and if that showing missing product code then it is confirmed efs issue. It can happen even you have correct imei.

You should restore efs on same rom. If you restore old backup on new rom this happens.

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/10/02...-test-firmware-for-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100-2/
