It appears after some research random hard bricking of 6P is a pandemic. Mine apparently died yesterday for no reason and it appears I am not alone.
Mine was 2 months out of warranty and huwawi want to distance themselves from this issue. I have tried in vein to recover my phone. However I have since learned a software glitch cooks the motherboard rendering it a write off. mine recently did a update 4 days before the failure.
Can people post there experience because I am not letting this go without a fight. I am tired of expensive substandard tech being pushed upon us.
Can your phone still boot into its bootloader? If it can then your 6P isn't dead yet: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-fix-nexus-6p-bootloop-death-blod-t3640279

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

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?

Yeah i understand the frustration with the locked boot loader.. No Aosp Roms is fine with me but no kernels sucks .. I should have researched a little more before buying this phone but i only paid $185 for it two months ago so its not a big deal . I can still sell for a profit it i decide to get a different phone...Might check out the g2 but will probably end up with GS5
I haven't used the device in a while and don't even remember the procedures I used to unlock/root the device.
I was hoping someone could give me a quicky tutorial on flashing stock recovery and system so that I can claim warranty.

I may be mistaken, but I think some may wish to know the reason of your warranty claim. I have seem others get turned down on help due to fraudulant reasons for warranty claim.
So the only help you would get from me is read. It hasnt been that long that you have unlearned that part of the process.
Sorry my friend.

U have to admit, some people have wanted to do a warranty claim for some really irresponsible reasons. We all nullify our warranty once we take that step.
No bad feelings here. You probably didnt even have to state a warranty issue.

Guys, i want to install CM11 in my Galaxy SIII (GT-i9300) but i have affraid that in the future the phone may breaks and i need the warranty to repair it. So how much time do you think that i should wait before doing modifications to my phone. I bought my Galaxy SIII In the end of march 28 of march i think.
Please give me answers. I'm tired of this touchwizz crap being slow -.-

I think if you are confident enough to do the modifications you should do it, what can happen is a soft brick which can be fixed with Odin. Hardware bricks are rare. Though you should decide for yourself, the only thing I'm telling you is that there's no point to wait as long as you want to do it and you know what you're doing. If you need help you can ask me anytime

I have affraid of problems on hardware, like screen or touch that doesn't work or motherboard burned (sudden death problems for example)
Sudden death shouldn't be a problem with newer firmwares, but other hardware issues are relatively rare, so I'd go ahead my phone stayed stock for approximately 6 - 7 hours.

And your phone never had a problem with hardware?
No never. I had a SanDisk SD card fail on me, but that was replaced under warranty but nothing Samsung related.
But it's your warranty so bear in mind that they may reject any claim, although in the UK the fact that you've modified software does not give them the right to decline a hardware claim.

I don't think you should be that afraid of doing it. The chance of a fail is very low and the sudden death syndrome has been fixed long time ago. If you really want it, give it a shot... Personally I've never had any hardware related problems while flashing ROMs
And also the European buyer protection law is on your side

I'm with you there, if you do it by hand you should have a better idea of what is going on, and imho if you don't have the time to learn what's involved then you should query whether you really want to go down the custom root

Then don't do it, although I went custom route from day 1 I was using stock based roms until recently, this is the first Android device I actually felt comfortable using stock even if it was a little flabby.
Stick a launcher on and look around here there is a lot you can do without even rooting your device, there really is no hurry to do anything.

when u are ready to root and flash custom rom, flash a custom recovery like cwm too. NANDROID BACK UP straight away after flashing custom recovery. The cyanogenmod installer is safe to use. I have personally used it and it was smooth. Back up ur efs too. If u dun know wat is efs, go read on it. Good luck rooting and flashing. It is safe unless u dun follow instructions or read carefully.
First day with my edge plus and I'm wondering if there is a root method and any roms worth flashing. Thanks.
Nope. Won't be for a very long time
Doubt there will be one but I am a rootaholic and since I got this phone I haven't felt the need to want to root. Does everything I need well.

Why is that? why are you guys saying there wont be root nor roms for a long time? not a popular phone? or is it too new in the market? did I choose the wrong phone if I wanted mods?

I've been with Verizon for ten years, 5 different phones and never had any issues getting plenty of roms and kernels for any of my phones, ever.

No issues I bet. But probably a difficult process to get there. T-Mobile seems the best for modification, but anyhow, the s6 edge plus just has a hard lockdown because of Verizon making modification difficult, I looked at the T-Mobile variant forumns and they have a custom kernel and a few stock based modified roms
Hopefully is just a matter of time then. Thanks for the info. In the meantime I downloaded Package Disabler Pro and disabled a bunch of bloatware.
Well if you don't care about texting and talking, the tmobile variants do work with Verizon 4g. I've tested and it connects just fine.

no biggie..
to my knowledge i thought even if it did get rooted that it would no longer boot up on vzw/att? pretty sure youd need an unlocked BL regardless which most likely will not happen.. hasnt happened on vzwsammy since early s4 days lol
I don't think these phones have a good chance of getting root unless a universal method like towel root is discovered. Development is pretty much stagnant in the Verizon variants of these phones.
