I have a GT-N7105 that I was copying a large file to via a USB cable. It froze up during the copy, rebooted and then was quite dead. It wouldn't get past the usual bootloader screen and attempting to get into recovery would cause it to half load the recovery screen, then freeze.
Attempting to flash it with ODIN didn't work, it kept failing. I tried a few more times and ended up with messages about "No PIT found". So I attempted to flash a PIT to it. Now it's dead. Won't turn on at all, not recognised by the PC or anything. I've tried the SD Card bootloader trick but that doesn't work either, but to be honest I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing's right. I've written the n7105_boot2.img to a 32Gb SDCard (I don't have a 2Gb one) but it doesn't boot at all.
Does anyone know if these things are JTAGable? I've read a few posts that seem to imply it is, and a few posts that seem to imply it isn't. Something about the JTAG fuse being blown open so you can't.
Before I spend a lot of time trying to find someone with a RiffBox in New Zealand (if you know someone who does, please PM ME!), is it worthwhile? Can the phone be bought back to life using a RiffBox easily enough, or is it complex? Or does RiffBox not support GT-N7105?
I realise the EMMC is probably dead on this thing anyway, even though the EMMC in the phone wasn't affected by the SDS bug. But it's also possible the PC I was using to try and ODIN the phone back into life wasn't well setup, and has just sent bad info the phone.
If it's dead, oh well. I have a lovely Nexus 6 to replace it now. But it would make a great spare phone.
