Hi,
How do I 100% revert to stock ??
I can flash a stock rom via Odin and lock the bootloader. if I do those 2 things .. is my tablet 100% stock again??
I'm having some problems which I believe are not really custom rom related.. So I wanna check by putting it 100% back to stock first.. and if those problems still exist RMA the poor thing..

Hello,
I had my tab sent out for repair (screen came loose), and got it back with bootloader unlocked....
But yes you can flash stock and send it in for repair.
Whats the problem if i may ask
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
The screen is all messed up .. when I turn the device on .. colors are a bit fuzzy.
But after a few minutes .. lines starts to go through my screen and later on there is nothing I can see except running lines and dots running to the screen in different collors..
Strange thing is .. it also does this on the splash screen, battery charging screen, clockwork and even the bootloader screen :S...
Like my tegra2 chip is fried :S ...
I remember seeing something like this back on my 8800m geforce card .. Turned out then, that the gpu chip's soldering was just bad and it needed to reflow.. Back then it was an issue with the type of soldering nvidia used, the whole serie suffered from it..
But first off all.. I guess Nvidia learnt from that.. Second of all .. I haven't really come across others with this problem on the p7100 :S ..
Strange thing is ... I haven't really changed anything on my tab the last few weeks. I'm not overclocking..
The last few days I did notice some pixels of weird colors on my wallpaper, but I figured it was just a bug in the livewallpaper which I installed a day before (skyrim live wallpaper from the tegra market)
I dunno what happened of what exactly causes this .. but it does really sting :S..
Try flashing (stock) rom, maybe that will fix your problems.
But by the sound of it it doesnt look like a rom problem....

Indeed thats what I figured...
Other then locking bootloader and flashing stock.. is there any other way samsung could see my device was rooted??
The thing is.. I don't overclock because the device is fast enough and I prefer battery time over extra performance. But .. if the tegra chip is somehow fried.. Samsung could blame rooting.. Which is understandable .. therefor I don't want them to jump to false conclusions.

What do You think, is it hardware problem or software-!
I can't get new replecement, as I'm in other country right now...
I had unlock code from T-Mobile-!
If i try to flash custom roms, will it work-?
Thank you for your advise Shahr-!
could be overheating (few+ threads on the topic here on xda), if this is the case, then shahr321 is right - mainboard replacement for you,
to check if overheating: let your device cool down a bit (10 minutes in the fridge helps), then start it, install BattClock, set it to display battery temperature and observe if freezes happen at/above the same tmeperature

After 10 minutes HD2 turns on, and works fine, but when i start camera recording or play games, it's freezes again, Sence freezes to after few minutes...
Camera can record only 30 sec of video, after that HD2 gets freeze again-!
I used to think positive when anything happen. i always do this steps, first soft reset, if not helping then i do hard reset and if it's still doesn't help finally i do flashing stock ROM. Other than those steps then i'm sure it's hardware problem..it's time to go to nearest service center.

Flashed Radio from 2.15 to 2.12, much better, but still freezes...
I'm in T-Mobile's stock ROM, it's newest ROM, so i can't update, i I can unlock via HSPL3, and flash custom ROMS, what do you think, will it help-?
P.S. I made Hard Reset, but same problem-!
flash custom ROM, if that wont help you gona have to change touch screen (digitizer)
it's common problem

********* Ok, so how is replacing the screen or digitizer going to help with freezing and boot up issues? Not being cynical just curious since I am new to this. Also do you have to replace both screen and digitizer or just digitizer?
Mine will not start ever unless it is coming from freezer. Cool (0-4 Celsius) phone starts just fine in WinMo or Android (I am on Android now) but as soon as it gets worm it shuts off and becomes paperweight.
Any help you can give would be good. Puno Hvala

(first try to remove MEM card) it worked for me.
I had the same problem I read on the forum the HTC was giving type 4 MEM cards bc the freezes... however i bought one 4 gb type 4 and no more freezes on WM and Android.
after using the phone for like couple of days and before even rooting i am having there strange kinda shades on the screen... afterwards i rooted it to check if its the rom issue.. but even afterwards it stayed the way as before....
please let me know if its hardware issue and i should get it replaced (i am certain of it.. still hoping for a solution from the geniuses here.. )
That does not seem to be normal, but it looks like u took pics of the screen, a screesnhot from the phone itself would surely eliminate weather its a software issue or a screen issue, my guess is, if it's a hardware issue, the screenshot should not have that issue
Root won't help all that has done is void your warranty .
Factory reset as first step .
Then report back.

Hi guys,
I have a problem,
Since last week I was using the omega rom. I was following it since version 8, I guess, and I always had a really poor performance:
Home screen redraw, no matter which launcher I use
Poor multitasking, I tried different kernels and swap
Freezing while typing or running the applications
No response to touch or scrolling and then going crazy
And probably more stuff...
so I decided to go back to stock rom.
I reset the counter, flash stock rom with odin to the latest version which Samsung just pushed to Italy and factory reset. then I decided not to install any unnecessary application to see the results but unfortunately all problems are still present
Any idea what can I do?!!!
Thanks in advance
Total wipe of the phone .

I forgot to mention but after going back to stock I already did factory wipe and wipe cache, so the phone status is normal right now. No root after that but still facing all the issues.
Go to Samsung. May be a faulty unit

u interested in trying CM?
I can go for CM, but I really don't know my phone has a problem or not. Most of my friends around me have S3 and I was trying to face the same problems on their phone but I wasn't successful. So I started thinking maybe there is something wrong with my phone. Specially when I face stupid problems like scrolling in the app menu or redrawing of home screen even if I just check the phone-book or messages.
Does this sudden death of S3 has anything in common with my problems?!!! just curiosity...

Some users reported very laggy and poor performance before their phones died. It is a known problem of emmc wear it seems.
How old is your phone anyway?i am sorry but my phone is superfast no matter the rom i have used. And i had quite some...i doubt that CM will do you any good.
I bough it on June, which makes my phone almost 6-7 months...

Do one more thing. Install EMMC Brickbug Check from the play store. Once you started check if you have the infamous VTU00M chipset and revision 0xf1. It seems that a specific lot of this chip revision have the firmware issue that leads to SDS.
I checked that, and yes I have that chip set but since I did the check on all my friends phone including five S3 and one galaxy note and all of them were showing same result I was considering maybe it's not the problem.

Only some of the VTU00M chips have this problem. The problem is caused by corrupted data due to a bug in the emmc's firmware and the new XELLA kernel (and others)
are supposed to fix that.
So should I take the phone to Samsung or wait for a complete death to hit my phone
It's kind of difficult to convince them that the phone has a problem, because most of the problems will go after a reset and then after couple of hours everything will be again super slow...

If i were you i would put my phone in a totally stock status. With TA and all that. After that if the problem persists i will go to samsung after some time
so at least will show the poor performance when checked. At this moment i bet most of the Samsung service centers know about the emmc issue and you might get a motherboard replacement.
Total wipe,reset,format + stock jellybean = high performance
Hope it helps

Thanks my friend, I already went back to stock. I will try to go to Samsung service center as soon as possible.

I have had the sudden death issue before. Sent my phone off, had it fixed and returned. Mother board replaced. but after getting it back my phone feels rather laggy and slow.
Just downloaded the EMMC app and found I do have VTU00M chipset and revision 0xf1. (after being fixed)
so what should I do now? Currently running stock JB, no root. would i be best off rooting and adding xella kernal?
cheers
So sometime in the last week or 2, my I9300 started randomly freezing up and/or shutting off by itself.
it's usually a while after booting - i'll come to unlock it, and the LED will be showing Blue. Clicking any of the buttons doesn't do anything, nor does waiting a while.
Holding down the power button for a few seconds boot/reboots the phone though, and it works normally when it starts back up again - although after a while it will die again.
Sometimes it runs for hours, sometimes just minutes.
Occasionally, it will freeze up while i'm actually using it - the screen stays on, frozen in place, but the touchscreen and buttons won't do anything (although oddly, multiple clicks of the home button make the colours invert?).
Anyway, i thought this soundsed a bit like this 'Sudden Death' bug, but how do I know? I installed and ran the eMMC check app and it says:
Phone Model: Samsung GT-I9300
eMMC chip: Type VTu00M, Date 05/2012, CID 15010056545530304df1f900755f5f5f, FwRev oxf1
SGS3 Sudden Death? YES. Insane chip.
My question is - what does this mean? Do i have the problem and just need to make sure i run a kernel with the fix, or is the phone now broken and needs replacing/fixing?
If it does need fixing, do i need to revert it to stock ROM and run triangleaway or anything before i send it in, or is it fine how it is?
It's currently running crDroid 11.1 XXELLC, and it was at the time i started noticing the problem. I'm using Siyah 1.8.9, although i was using an earlier version before (can't remember what).
Same problem here... i don´t know what to do... today i make a lot of things to attempt to restore all but everything fail... i decided to talk with samsung and send the phone to repair, in a few days I hope to come to pick up the phone, I have to say that I had to pay 24 € for the shipping and after playing wait month or month and a half. is frustrating but hopefully come good repair.
One read the SDS thread . Two if you think you have the problem or a problem follow the how to revert to stock post and take to a service centre .
Freeze is more likely rom and or kernel .
???????
although oddly, multiple clicks of the home button make the colours invert AS IT SHOULD .

thanks - have read the SDS thread and the stuff people were talking about there didn't really sound like what's happening for me, which is why i posted this thread.
I also thought that it sounded like the ROM or kernel, which is why I have now tried Siyah, tank, and boeffla kernel latest versions, as well as the foxhound, android revolution, and darky roms.
none have made a difference so far
I'm just looking for some ideas on what to do next - should i try reverting back to an Old rom/kernel, should i try a non-sammy based one, is it possible that my SD card is somehow causing the problem?
i didn't know that the multi-click thing inverted the colours - why does it though? it doesn't seem like something i'd want a shortcut to.
Wipe phone flash stock rom .

Fixed it by moving from ELLA modem & wiping.
This thread is your solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091045
so i wiped again and installed the MA2 modem - this made the freezing problem even worse so i wiped again and installed the ELKC modem.
this was on Monday and I hadn't had a single freeze until this morning, when it's frozen 4 times in the space of a few hours.
so i guess i'm flashing back to the factory image...

""Hello friends, without any ado, I would go straight to my problem!""
I am a flashaholic and flash my i9100g every now and then whenever there is a new update for my ROM.
After about 12 to 13 flashes, I am getting this screen problem..... After switching on the phone, for 1 to 2 seconds, my screen flickers with horizontal colored lines!
CHECK THE SCREENSHOT!
AND PLZ HELP ME A.S.A.P.!!
Back to stock, test. If OK with stock, clean install of custom rom, test. If obvious problem with custom rom, ask the dev of said rom.
Thanks
Thanks a lot for your quick reply, but I've tried installing the stock ROM...... maybe I'll ask ryuinferno
Anyways, thanks!! :good:
If it's happening with stock it's a hardware problem. Take it to mobile repair shop (or a Samsung service centre if it has warranty), or replace the screen yourself if you're confident enough & are able to definitely diagnose it's just the screen that's causing the issues.

Ofcourse it doesn't have warranty becoz its rooted and the counter says 15..... so SAMSUNG PEOPLE will charge me if i repair it......
Maybe I will diagnose it a bit more and see if it works!!
Problem solved!
Thanks to ryuinferno! Actually, I was using a ICS bootloader..... All i needed was a JB bootloader which i got from this link: >>Repository<<
