Use this app sounds like SDS, it'll check the chip and you know is it "SDS" straight away. If says "Insane" you're screwed

Hi djembey, and do you think that it might be the cause even if I have the ROM with Samsung patch installed? For SGS3 it is XXELLA. It started to freeze/stuck last Saturday, sometimes it restarts without my intervention, sometimes i had to do it myself.
Thanks

You may have a look to this post. Hope it could help you.

Hi leinad, I lagfixed the partitions, restarted, did a call and the phone stuck again - it did not even turned on the screen. Works again after restart (loooong press of Power button). I think I'll have to send it to repair center.
Best regards

Yes, it says insane chip. Memory check passed without errors. I have the ROM that should have applied the Samsung patch for this chip, but I think it fixes only the hard dead. It stucks with both, rooted and unrooted ROMs, I did many Odin reinstalls during last few days. I tried even a very old 4.0.4 and it also did not work correctly. I think it froze even with pure install after factory reset, I have to back it up and try once again.
You're both very unlucky. Insane chip mean SDS sooner or later. I'll use warranty to get replacement. Samsung reckons that in new Kernel is fix for it but people still reporting dead S3's.

Hi djembey,
I fixed it for now by factory reset and Titanium restore, but I think it will be better to send it to service.
Thank you

try full wiping your phone and install a new rom exclude XXELLA build because it's one the versions that cause hanging

I'm with the SDS model but it says sane chip. Does it mean it will turn insane sooner or later even with the kernel fix?

I flashed the LQ6 Modem through CWM. It flashed successfully and I rebooted but the phone got stuck at the Siyah load screen. So I hard rebooted. Screen went black and now absolutely nothing works. Screen stays black no matter what. Computer doesn't pick it up at all. USB jig does nothing. :/
So unless there's someway I can revive it from here I guess JTAG is my only option.
My friend might be able to get me access to a JTAG box. How exactly do I go about unbricking?
Btw, does anyone know of someone in the San Diego area that does JTAG service? Thanks.

There was only 1 siyah release that did it and the developer pulled it just after an hour, and siyah has been safe since then. Due to that incident, most custom kernels are safe now since the developers are aware. Only Samsung stock is unsafe.

That is exactly what I'm talking about - OP is using safe kernel (siyah 4.x) and still he managed to brick his device while flashing modem from recovery. How did he managed to brick his device if he is using safe kernel?

Something else must have gone wrong because his case doesn't look like a typical emmc brick bug issue.

Yup, I was running Siyah 4.1.2 and a CM10 nightly. Worked fine until I flashed LQ6 and rebooted. I don't think it's emmc - at this point I'm chalking it up to a bad zip.

I was thinking the same thing too.
So does anyone know if I can use the RIFF software with a different JTAG box (not the RIFF box)?
Or anyone know of a reliable JTAG service in the San Diego area?
Sent my S2 in for JTAG service. Hopefully it comes back good as new!
Btw, I used cell-dr.com. Can't beat their price!

I also bricked my sgs2 i9100. Tried everything, nothing worked. Finally came across MobileTechVideos.com for JTAG Service and send my phone to them. They really did a great job . I am able to see my phone working again and surprisingly all my data were there. I think you should definitely give it a try if your phone is completely unresponsive. :good::good::good: to MobileTechVideos.com

I had the same as you mate.
There is nothing you can do at the moment.
There are several guys with this problem.
When you try to flash a rom,odin gives you a pit file error,right.
The battery is not charging,right.
You can't pass the first screen,right.
I brought mine to a repair center and they say the whole screen must be replaced,WTF.
Cost:216 euros.
I wait for a solution here on xda.

and after checking my IMEI number he told me they will have to get an approval from samsung something office anyway and after asking and asking and asking if it was stolen or something like that he told me no . . . thank god he really scared me
to clear things up i got this unit as a gift from someone in samsung "friend of a friend' before the official market date
im looking for someone that has JTAG to try and fix this

I'm no expert but if we take the worst case scenario it would be that your memory is dead
I would try to flash a Rom with 4 files and see what happens

According to samsung its happening due to some software bug which causes the flash memory to stop responding and making the device reboots! they will soon provide an update which will fix this bug! hopefully it will be the 4.1.2 update!

It's all good. I have CyanogenMod now. I haven't tried a custom ROM until now.
I must say, I'm quite glad I made the switch. It's so much better than Samsung's ROM! Everything is smooth and runs cleaner and faster with no bloatware running in the background or taking up memory.

A lot of people do experience frequently freezing after the latest update from Samsung. A few send in to repair and some did do their own magic stuff. But so far there isn't any clear solution. I think we ow a explanation from Samsung. This is a well known problem and people all over the world have it. But how can we get Samsung to take care. We didn't pay 600 € for a phone that freezes all the time.

Do you have memory of dropping your phone or maybe installing an APK that is not safe?
Maybe that could be a problem for you.

The last time it dropped was 6 months ago. So I don't think that's the cause. I also resetted my whole phone a few times so an APK can't be the problem either I think. Or the APK must have broken some hardware? Is that possible?
Since the latest update from Samsung I haven't had any problems with it! What I noticed is that when I clear the RAM memory it only closes 10 apps. Before that were 30 apps. Does the update just limit the RAM or does it close less apps?

I installed the latest file from PHN from sammobile ( I9300XXELL4_I9300PHNELL2_I9300CEELL1_HOME.tar ) After the update my broadband-version is I9300CEELL1 , Buildnumber I9300XXEMC2.
Another question. When everything was OK and I didn't do anything, in the playstore my phone was named as T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S3. Then I installed the PHN version from Sammobile and now it only says Samsung Galaxy S3. In recovery it also says Applied multy CSC. Should I get another region code, the one from T-mobile netherlands?
Hi Guys! I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G INDIA model. After more than one year of use suddenly it started working weird.
1. Full 100% charging getting discharged to 0% in 2-3 hrs(99% phone is put on standby mode - not using for anything)
2. When I enable WiFi it is not able to scan. I repeatedly clicked on scan but it is not showing any progress of scanning and not listing my home WiFi network
I have tried:
1. Battery recalibration - no use
2. Factory reset - no use
3. Hard reset - no use
Can somebody help me with this? Is there a way to check that WiFi chip failed or not Or it's an issue with firmware(4.1.2)?

How can we change baseband? You mean by flashing a custom ROM? Please guide me....
I went to service center to know about the issue. He was just re-installed stock ROM by rooting the device even not hearing to my problem. When I say WIFI scanning is not working he turned on WiFi and was saying it's working. But I told him to let the phone scan for any WiFi hotspots close by(My friend phone SIII able to list all available hotspots). He then pressed scan and was saying motherboard was gone. Is that true? How can he say blindly even not checking until I tell him to check the WiFi.
If I need to change the motherboard how much does it costs in INDIA? and does it carries any warranty?

firstly, you should be rooted to change the baseband.
If you are rooted that find any compatible baseband of your rom version and flash the zip file through recovery.
As far as the motherboard is concerned, it is costly affair. Before coming to the conclusion of motherboard being damaged, lets first try all possible options. I don't see the motherboard issue here.
PM me your rom details and i will find a baseband for you.

As suggested I have rooted this and flashed custom ROM - cyanogenmod 10.1
No luck WIFI not working... seems motherboard issue
Can we buy motherboard separately in India? Does it carries any warranty?

Check your local area market for a used motherboard as going for a new one will cost you heavy.
I dont thing it will carry warrenty unless you send it to samsung for repair
What exactly happens when you on the wifi.

No, I am planning to go for samsung service center and get the motherboard replaced. When I called them they confirmed that motherboard will carry 3 months warranty. So, I thought it's better to go for warranty piece.

My advise wud be to see some local repair shop as it might be a loose connection and would not need the replacement. No harm in getting it checked as he will not ask more than 200-300 rs. If still u find it did not work go for motherboard replacement from samsung.
Btw how much did they asked you for motherboard
