Chainfire has included the update 7 fix in his temporary recovery of CF-auto-root . So, we can assume he also would have included it in Mobil odin if needed ! Don't u think so ?

No. Because latest Version 3.57 is from November 2012. Source 7 came out decembre.

It worked for me. ICS bootloader, omega v39 and Siyah kernel 1.8.9. System status is official in download mode (not when running android).

I dont know. He put it in cf auto root after I gave him XXELLC recovery in that thread on 15th January. Dont forget when you install mobile odin, you have to install a "Flash kernel" too. the latest version (5.0) has been available since November 2012.
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

Exactly! that's why I am saying from earlier today that nobody knows if that "special recovery" mobile odin uses to flash things is safe or not, and since the latest firmwares updates samsung is releasing includes a new bootloader, a lot of people are now using mobile odin pro to flash things cause they don't want to update their bootloader, so many and many more people are using it...

It will be really nice if someone can actually makes @Chainfire explain us if it's safe or not.. Just in case cause the app hasn't been updated in a very long time.

I need it as a ZIP so I can flash in recovery so I can avoid download mode with the old bootloader as you are saying it may not be safe to use it.

Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

So you can make that yourself by dropping the bootloader of your choice into any other existing flashable bootloader zip....

[Galaxy S III General] samppl:
This thread is huge and I've followed it from the start but there maybe have been a couple of posts I've missed so forgive me if this has already been asked.

Has anyone tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916796 on an SDS affected phone? It got me wondering whether the SDS actually permanently breaks something (like causing an infinite loop and frying the CPU), or whether it just corrupts the partition table or something which causes the phone to simply boot and reboot over and over like a windows pc might.

My phone still works (touch wood) but if it does die unexpectedly I'm in two minds about taking it in under warranty. On one hand I want to get an obviously faulty phone fixed for free under warranty but then the curious part of me wants to pull it apart and mess about with it.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
SDS = Sudden Death syndrome. Where "Death" is the operative word. If you have warranty, you'll have to use it. That will be the only way as it needs the motherboard replacing.
[Galaxy S III General] samppl:
I figured it might be worth a try after seeing a video on youtube where someone used this method to boot up a phone that wouldn't respond at all to any button presses & just kind of wondered whether "dead" phones really were DEAD or just in some sort of non-responsive "safe mode" or something. I only just got an S3 so am sort of new to it, I guess others have had them longer and probably already tried everything so I'll just shut up now.
[Galaxy S III General] bigmo7:
Yeah if they can use a JTAG or other means to get the phone on then it's not suffering from this.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
What's the deal with the "comas" then (pseudo-deaths)? Is that another S3 issue we don't know about?

AW: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

Most dangerous thing is to flash a bootloader. Why should I switch between them? Even if downloadmodus is unsafe with old bootloader, It's still safer then flashing bootloaders all the time.

S3 sudden death question

I put my phone on charge and it just died.I had it rooted at one point,but now its unrooted and running some sort of official version of jelly bean.I downloaded it from galaxys3root.com or something and it was supposedly the official polish version.

I'm wondering if my phone is covered by warranty because of this sudden death incident.

Please reply asap.

I'm in Germany

Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

Guys tell me one thing sorry for asking the same question again

Now I am on patched pills recovery and Yanks kernel and also on new boot loader thanks to sotmax rom whose base is xxela

So I know that u people can't say for sure whether I am safe or not

But what u want to ask is that is it yet established that sds is software bug rather than hardware failure

I mean now I am on patched recovery kernel and bootloader so if it is a software failure issue it can happen to me because these 3 don't surely fix this problem but

Should I now charge overnight mean can charging overnight also result in sds or is it established that it is due to software failure

Please reply more than one people I am asking cos charging in day is very tedious for me

Finally enjoying s3

Yanks kernel

Sotmax v13

Boot into download mode (Vol down + Home + Power) and check the counters. If everything is Official and 0, you're covered.

Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

Can anyone confirm in a case of sudden death

If you can still reach download mode and never rooted the system status says "custom" I just read this on another thread and trying to confirm it canchange from official to custom after SDS

Galaxy S3

Omega Rom V37
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Not only possible but likely to happen.
[Galaxy S III General] tigerporc:
The reason why system status says "custom" when you have semi-SDS is because the product name is BLANK.

So it should not be rejected for warranty claim; insist on the warranty
[Galaxy S III General] alfoxalfox:
YES, I totally confirm your issue.

It happened to me.

Samsung replaced my S3 with a new unit with a 0xf7 EMMC Fw.

as opposed to what everyone thinks is the sd fix now.

Where have you read:

1) of another "new" fix?

2) That the fix we think is the real fix now, is not the real fix?

Because both of those are news to me.
[Galaxy S III General] erikrh:
i got that update yesterday, it just flashes ELLA.
[Galaxy S III General] Primokorn:
Hi

Not very clear for me.

In my mind, we currently have two situations:

If we have a stock rom mentioned in OP or a custom ROM based on the same ROMs we are safe, right?

Download mode has to be avoided even if we have a "safe configuration". No problem to flash from Mobile Odin?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] philgalaxs3:
As already discussed in this thread : last version of mobil odin has been relased BEFORE SDS fix ... so the question is still pending ....
[Galaxy S III General] kmilof:
so now, the best way of flashing a rom is in a custom recovery, although every time i enter to the recovery my counter rise, so as far i understand to address this problem is required an old bootloader, but if i use download mode with and old bootlader chances are that i will BE affected by the bug of sds.

im right? :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

Old bootloader prevents flash counter but cannot flash in download mode as may trigger sds.

But once using custom ROM, why use download mode anyway?
[Galaxy S III General] Kjc99:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

I think is is a good sign people are receiving an OTA kernel update hopefully the end to SDS is near

Ok so no issue flashing below stock rom from new bootloader if I'm not mistaken:

XXELL1

XXELLA

XXELLB

XXELLC

Could you please tell me from which firmware the bootloader has changed?

"But once using custom ROM, why use download mode anyway?"

=> To go back to stock ROM if custom ROM is not nice, seen several times on my forum.
[Galaxy S III General] kmilof:
i currently have i9300xxdlj1 bootloader, is safe to upgrade to a xella or up one?

and what's it's the best way to upgrade it?, i imagine some cwm file, but i cant find one.:

[Galaxy S III General] philgalaxs3:
Is there a new kernel in last OTA ??

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

in ALL of those.

Having a custom ROM you certainly have a custom recovery , so you can go back to stock flashing with recovery , so no need to use download mode. NO ?

[Galaxy S III General] philgalaxs3:
See Post 1 : As It appears all 4.1.2 kernels have the fixes, there is no longer a need to test them all. See below for a list of tested kernels that have the fix. All kernels subsequent to these will also be regarded as safe.

Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

Some people in The Netherlands were received an 8mb OTA update for XXELLA KERNEL I THINK they said the only difference is there kernel date changed to 12/22/12

[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Kernel dates can change any time. Samsung compile ROMs and Kernels. They may often compile kernels with no source code change, just like CM nightlies. Different kernel date does not mean different kernel. Then again, that doesn't mean there is no change either.

help me,i tried to update update to v1.8.9 from 8.4 as i have the affected series od eMMC chip(after reading this thread no offence but i thought better be safe then sorry),but by mistake i fllashed the CWM kernel file as a udate.zip from Mobile ODIN and now i cant get past the galaxy s3 logo screen please help me wat do i do????

Then i triedto install v1.8.4 from PC odin (it was successful according to ODIN) still I am stuck on s3 logo screen please help me someone..

is this the sudden death is this what happens????i can get into download mode but thats all the phone can do....
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
If flashes are successful your device's liver's still functional :p

Redownload all files and check MD5s to make sure no packets were lost. Flash CWM via ODIN, boot into it, wipe /system, /data, /cache and flash again.
[Galaxy S III General] Born2Model3D:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

Thats definitely not sudden death.

You should try to flash recovery and then do a full wipe including dalvik and also fix permission and the format internal sd, if it contains important data mount the sd through usb and save it to the pc. Then flash a new rom, kernel and bootloader. Good luck.

Plz press the thanks button if I helped.

it worked like magic i flashed custom recovery CWM 6.4 and my phone immediately booted with dual ROMs intact i cant thank you enough...

say i still have this problem how do i install a kernel with update 7 fixes can i try siyah v1.8.9 using tar file on mobile ODIN??

and my primary ROM(WANAM LITE) is all messed up avast detecs 14 problems and whenever i bootinto primary ROM it freezes withing 10-15 secs and i have to reboot into 2nd ROM(OMEGA) how do you suggest i fix my primary ROM???
[Galaxy S III General] Born2Model3D:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

U will have to download a recover. Download it again just in case the previous one was corrupted. Then flash the recovery through odin.

Then boot your phone into recovery and wipe cache partition, wipe data, dalvik cache under advanced settings and then just to be safe fix permissions. Format the internal sd by going in the mount menu (don't remember the exact name) and choose format sd. To backup through pc choose mount sd and then connect ur usb cable. If it doesn't work then just do a nandroid backup to the external sd and use it to extract the data later.

Then choose install zip and install a new rom.

I personally use yank's kernel and philz touch recovery. For rom I choose Omega roms and I decided to stick with the older ics bootloader. Though the newer bootloader is assumed to have a fix.

Md5 lets u know if the file u downloaded is still in its perfect shape or were there few damages or corruptions in the file.

Do a google search for a md5 check software. I have never had that issue. I just use an android app but since u can't boot thats of no use.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
1) Download a new firmware from here

2) Boot into download mode, load the downloaded ROM onto "PDA" (or if multiple files, their respective locations), select re-partition, and start flashing

3) If phone is still stuck at boot logo, boot into recovery (this will be stock now), and select "reset factory settings". Reboot

If you still don't get a boot, your phone's probably bricked

EDIT

WIPE!

0) Use TiBp to backup apps and their data first

1) Boot into Siyah's 2ndROM Utils - remove 2nd ROM

2) Boot into CWM - wipe /data, /system

3) Flash fresh ROM and Gapps if necessary

4) Boot and check if everything is okay

5) If yes, take Nandroid backup

6) Now, flash Siyah and 2ndROM

[Galaxy S III General] Born2Model3D:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

I believe ur only option is to take nandroid backup and hope u can extract ur data from it later.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Take a Nandroid backup anyway, you can use TiBp to extract specific restores from it later. ROM seems too corrupted for any kind of troubleshooting, it's best if you wipe everything and start afresh.

You should keep as much on the cloud as possible, schedule Titanium backups (and if you have decent upload speeds, schedule uploads to Dropbox/Drive too), create update.zip from TiBp, take Nandroid backup and transfer both to PC, every few weeks. This way even if your device is thrown into the Mariana Trench and nuked, all your data is still with you, almost up-to-date too.

Quote from here:

'However, another use of the term "bricked" is understood to describe a situation where a device is unable to function even when the device does have potential to be recovered later to a working state. In this sense, the damage may be reversible; it is only during the period that it's unable to function that the device is deemed "bricked". This is often referred to as a "soft brick" whereas an unrecoverable device is a "hard brick".'
[Galaxy S III General] RaMpAgE452001:
yes i think thats the lesson to be learned from this terrible ordeal,but anyway i am trying to save the working ROM as like you said i plan to start anew,as for the corrupt ROM i have a NANDROID backup from l8 december which i wish to restore after i have wiped it clean would lose 1 month of productivity but what can you do!thanx for all the help you saved to today sir.
[Galaxy S III General] Born2Model3D:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

I would also recommend using my backup to keep ur calls log, sms log and contacts data. You can also schedule a daily backup in the background.
[Galaxy S III General] RaMpAgE452001:
well i usually backup using titanium backup rpo 2 times a week,but this exp made me realize what use is TB if your damned ROM goes corrupt,best option is to update on cloud service,a hard truth learned today :(
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Either schedule TB to upload to the cloud, or just create update.zips and transfer them to your PC. In general, for all IT purposes, backups should ideally never be on the same medium as what IS backed up.
[Galaxy S III General] Born2Model3D:
Re: [Important] Sudden Death Fix - Are you covered?

I personally only rely on nandroid backups. Its a bit frustrating to go to recovery to fo the backup and then restart the phone just to finf a list of missed calls, so I started using O-nandroid or u can say online nandroid. It backs up ur device without having to enter recovery mode.
