[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martytarty:
My s3 suddenly died last month, put it on charge, half an hour later I discovered it had turned off and it wouldnt come back on, phone was stock rooted and contained root apps, the phone wouldn't boot into recovery or download mode, nothing worked and my s3 had died.

Anyway the phone went back to samsung under warranty (cough cough) , samsung refused to repair under warranty as my s3 had a small chip in the corner of the phone, this small chip has no reflection on the fault with the phone but they wanted £135 before they would repair, the small chip happened when my phone slipped out of my jacket pocket a few months back, the pbone had been working fine until the day it died.

I have declined samsungs terrible offer, my s3 is also insured with my bank so im now trying to claim through that (wish me luck)

Anyway I couldnt live without my precious android so purchased my note 2, I plan to sell the s3 if repaired.

Just after my s3 died I started reading up on other users having the same problem and it was becoming common knowledge that some s3's have this problem, samsung apparently have acknowledged the problem in the software and are releasing a fix, bit late for me now!!!

As much as I love Samsung phones I'm disgusted with their lack of support on my behalf, I prey my note 2 doesn't die.

OMG OMG OMG! thats the same thing that happened to my note 2 yesterday!! Thank god its under warranty, and if it's a mother board issue, would they just replace the motherboard or give me a new phone entirely?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwinpang:
Replacing the motherboard for sure

Now thread title should be changed to SDS on Note2, as many cases are erupting on note2 too. we can have idea how many cases are being reported for note2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
Hmmm samsung knows how to make drama. I had note 1 and all community was afraid of brick bug which was pretty widely and now this issue with s3 and note2... Damn they could invest more money for software because whats the point of advanced hardware when those software bugs kills hardware lol
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleDevlin12:
My friends note2 also suddenly poped it we were sending files to each other via nfc and he had kept his phone down to go get something and when he returned black screen no sign of life at all. Tried pluging in the charger remoced battery did evrything no luck. Now I am damn scared of this happening to my precious note 2. Is there any way to avoid this ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krwkenn:
If you're experiencing this issue with your Note II, I believe it would be beneficial for tracking purposes to post your model number (e.g. GT-N7100, GT-N7105, SGH-I317, etc).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bushido76:
Hey guys,

yesterday I unpacked the latest note 2 kernel image (LL7) to find out, wether samsung integrated the SDS-fix for the note 2 as well. I found the two strings (﻿„CMD13(VC) failed“ and „VTU00M“) in the kernel stringtable - so I conclude that samsung is aware of affected note 2 devices too.

Is / was anyone who was affected by this "sudden death" bug running any sort of AOSP ROM and / or Dev. created Kernel? I have an SGSIII that I have been running on Paranoid and Siyah Kernel almost since I got it (5 - 6 months ago) and I have not had this issue as of yet (knock on wood). I have also flashed Jellybeer v3.52 CM10.1 based ROM and Red Pill Kernel on my Note II so I am wondering if this issue is affecting anyone on NON-stock ROMS and Kernels?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar200:
Is it tome to panick yet? I am using custom FW and dont wanna be rejected by Samsung centre if something happens.

Any guide out there to reflasg stock everuything and reset the flash counter at the same time? In these times of uncertainty better be on stock with 0 on the counter until more info is provided.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
The fix is already there with the latest DLL7 firmware and with recompiled kernels such Perseus and NEAK

Don't panic , just take action ....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limital:
I have this exact problem on my Galaxy Note 2. I can get to download mode but not recovery. It gets stuck at bootscreen all the time. I also sent my Note 2 in to a samsung service center but they did not repair it.... they want 380€ for the repair of the mainboard and they say i destroyed my note 2 with custom firmware but i did not do anything to my note 2.....

Can someone advice me what to do now?! I'm really frustrated at the moment T_T
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
If you can get into download mode, you can try to flash a stock firmware yourself.

Have a look on some sticky threads like the galaxy note 2 toolkit (development section ) or Dr. Ketan's thread on general

.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limital:
No matter what i flash it's not working, the flash memory seems defect
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidPH:
So its confirmed that once we update to the DLL7 firmware it will be fixed?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anurajnr:
Now that I think of, this was the exact problem that happened to my OG galaxy s. It just died and Samsung refused to service because the warranty was over.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopesfall19:
so the worst thing is a half sudden death with an accessible download-mode but not able to flash a new rom.

if the counter is higher then 0 you may have to pay.

is there a way, like usb-jig for the s2 or a sill flashable odin file, to reset the counter if the note2 is in such a situation?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sda.171:
If a phone is rooted, it is obviously out of warranty. Then if the phone dies for this bug, will they ever get to know that the phone was rooted? if the phone dies, will download mode still work? LIke if the phone is dead, there is no way they can know that i modified my phone right? So my warranty will work?

Shed some light? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rob2222:
I can give you some infos from the SGS3 SD-cases...

You have 2 variants.

A) (Sudden death) Phone dies completely. There should be no way to know that it was rooted.

B) (Sudden "brick") Phone crash's. Then it stucks at bootlogo. Download mode is working, recovery is not working.

However youre not able to flash anything. Odin only gives errors.

Exact like in this case:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069991

But even in case B) the information in the download mode get altered to exact this values:

PRODUCT NAME: (gone empty)

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom (even if the phone was never rooted/flashed before!)

Here the system status "Custom" can be a problem, if you have a service center that did not know that the sudden death switches this to Custom.

They think the phone has custom software and deny the warranty sometimes, even if the phone was never flashed/rooted.

I hope it doesn't happen to my Note 2 as it just happened with my friend's GS3 2 days ago..luckily he got the motherboard replaced in 1 day !!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laynee1:
But, isnt this issue fixed in 4.1.2 firmwares?

And you can always flash custom kernel... So no fuss right?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Does this SD issue occur on latest CM10.1 nightly ? Or is CM Kernel once again safe like it was on Note 1 ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermanrj:
Unfortunately i have this chip VTU00M 0xf1. I'm right now using the Omega ROM V10 with stock kernal XXDLL7. Do I am safe now from this SDS issue? Please help and enlighten me on this.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Yes, you're safe - at least as safe as we can assume because DLL7 kernel includes the SD fix by Samsung.

Last night a friend showed mr thr problem with his new Note 2 lte he can't delete files after reboot the deleted files reappear. I tried it for him, clear cache, hard reset, nothing works also data connection keeps breaking up. Today my Note 2 just died on me:( completely dead can't boot or go into any mode. My problem is i bought a international set without warranty and its only 3 weeks old. Any solutions? I will try looking for motherboard and replace it to see if it can bring it back to life. The phone is not rooted.*
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleDevlin12:
Sorry for your loss mate you are another of many victims of sds. You will have to send of your device to samsung and pay for it, its the only way you'll get your phone back or it will just be an expensive paper weight. Btw were u on 4.1.1 or 1.2 ?

Hello you all.

I have some issues with my xperia arc. It keeps on restarting again and again and again. When it reaches the home screen after the sony and xperia logo, the home screen just disappears and the phone is again set to restart. I was running 4.3. something version of android. Can someone give me some good suggestions on how to fix this issue. Please, I BEG YOU PEOPLE !!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
It sounds like a home launcher error, unless you know how to send files via fast boot I would use PC tools and repair then if this fails, reflash using PC tools a new install of ROM.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
There is no such version like Android 4.3.

Flashtool and flash stock firmware, either ICS 4.0.4, 4.1.B.0.587 or GB 2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.62.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_elfeituri:
Try reflashing your software.

Download this : http://www.mediafire.com/?rhr59r4o6oarnfx

Then download flashtool : http://ul.to/1jlvqgt8 - https://hotfile.com/dl/179504132/bc8dd41/flashtool-0.9.9.0-windows.exe.html - http://rapidgator.net/file/56696165/flashtool-0.9.9.0-windows.exe.html (if you have it then no need to download)

Extract the file you first downloaded and you will find a ftf file

Install Flashtool

After you installed it:

- Turn off your phone.

- Hold the Back button

- Connect the computer cable to your phone well your holding the back button

You will see in flashtool "phone connected in flashtool mode"

Press the lightning button at the top left corner of the window.

Select "flashtool mode"

Then browse for the file you extracted

After you selected the folder tick "no final verification" on the bottom right cornor then press ok.

After it's done unplug your phone and turn it on.

Your done!

hope i helped
[Motorola Droid 3] AndroAsc:
There's something I don't get it. I have been playing around with CM10 (JB) and Minimoto (GB). Using Vellamo scores as indicator, the performance in JB is much faster than GB. HTML5 scores of 1400 (JB) vs 600 (GB) and CPU scores of 400 (JB) vs 370 (GB). However, that does not translate into user experience.

CM10 is supposed to fast and optimized for speed, but I am getting serious lag. OS is not very responsive to touches, apps take a good one second longer to open than in Minimoto which is GB-based. Isn't ICS and JB supposed to have additional hardware acceleration that GB does not... so why is Minimoto outperforming CM10? I also frequently manipulate spreadsheets on my phone, and the scrolling performance is way smoother on Minimoto than on CM10. What's going on here?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The reason is RAM. There isn't enough really unless you set it to strict memory management.
[Motorola Droid 3] AndroAsc:
It's not the RAM. Samsung Galaxy S has the same amount of RAM as the Droid 3, and it's more responsive...
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Kexec Ducati is not memory efficient.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
^ what he said, kernel just isn't completely optimized for our phones yet.

All that new hardware acceleration takes code to make it work :)

Something quick u can try tho:

Depending on what kexec kernel compile your using you can try switching cpu governor from interactive to ondemand or one of the other choices.

Certain builds have it disabled, otherwise its set as default

interactive is buggy for some reason and causes crashes/some slowness.

I know it helped me a bit, even though it uses a bit more battery.
[Motorola Droid 3] AndroAsc:
Thanks, maybe I'll dual boot/flash a CM10 and try full performance, but with battery issues and camera issues, I don't see how CM10 is stable enough for daily usage.

What's the point of running ICS/JB if the drivers are not optimized and/or if you need to force it at full performance mode to get acceptable performance? Isn't moving from GB -> ICS/JB about performance improvements?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yukanojo:
I've had my nexus 7 for about 3 weeks now. Was working great until last night. I haven't altered it such as rooting or custom ROM since I bought it. Besides some apps I have installed via the play store, it can be considered very very factory stock.

Battery was low and it started the automatic shut down because the battery level hit the critical point. It shut down and then I plugged it back in and turned it back on. It was halfway through the boot up (showing the multi-colored X) and the screen went blank and I heard what could be a farting sound, then nothing.

I've tried holding down the power button for more than 30 seconds (timing it on my watch) and I've tried the power button and both volume up/down buttons in the same manner. Nothing.

I let it charge overnight on the factory charger with factory cable. No change.

I opened the back up and disconnected the battery for a few minutes then reconnected. No change.

I plugged it into my computer and it detects and I was able to install the drivers for "Asus Transformer Prime APX Interface". If I hold the power button for 10 seconds while it is connected to my PC the PC detects that the device is disconnected and then reconnected about 5 seconds later. So the device does something.

I tried using the android-sdk to communicate with the device but nothing. ADB doesn't detect the device, fastboot doesn't either.

At this point, I'm thinking the device is as hard bricked as can be but hopefully someone here can tell me otherwise. If I don't get a response within a week, I will be attempting to get a replacement - my wife bought it brand new for me from a private seller on eBay, so I don't have an actual store to return it to.

A "mirror", in this context, is an alternate download link; you'll get the same file through the main link or one of the mirror links, so pick whichever one works best for you.
