Hello All,
I got a galaxy mega i9205 which is in bootloop. Stock Recovery, ADB Sideload and download mode works but not booting.
When i do wipe data/ factory reset it shows this error -

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on / dev /block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache
I tried to flash with odin, kies and it was flashed seccessfully with many firmwares but after flash it itself goes to recovery mode.
I flashed custom recovery twrp etc but nothing works.
On recovery mode it shows - on Top

Immediately after flashing 4.4 via Odin, and then flashing twrp via Odin, did you then immediately boot to twrp and do a 'factory reset'?

When you flash custom recovery you must not let phone reboot to system as with it will be restored stock recovery. After flashing custom recovery during reboot press VOL DOWN+HOME+POWER and wait for boot into custom recovery. Then you will have it.

Its irrelevant to your problem. You said you don't even got stock recovery. If you are getting stock recovery, just do a factory reset from stock recovery.

It's look like corruption of some vital partitions... maybe flashing stock rom will be helpful, but you have problem with recovery... let's look here for solution in this matter:

A jig won't help him, and i dont see any relevance of a jig to his issue.
However flashing the i9205 pit file may very well help. @gsm420 I think you should flash the i9205 pit and then immediately flash stock rom again. Get the pit here. Make sure you flash it properly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578761
Thus, here would be the procedure:
1. Boot to download mode
2. Flash pit with PC Odin without reset
3. Flash stock 4.4 ROM again with PC Odin with reset
4. Let phone boot. If it doesn't boot, try a factory reset again in stock recovery now that you have repartitioned with the pit, and try to let it boot again.
If all fails post back here.

Yeah really looks like a corrupt block.
It's too bad because the device gets really far in the flash after the pit. But stops almost at the end

Hello,
First of all: Sorry for my bad English
I have a strange problem with my Galaxy S2. Whenever I restart my phone all the changes disappear (applications and settings). E.g. I remove Launcher Pro, then I restart my Phone and LauncherPro is back again.
I've the same behavior even if I flash a firmware with Odin...e.g. i flash KF2, Odin says it worked, but after a reboot *#1234' still shows KE7.
A few days ago I successfully falshed I9100XWKDF and I9100XWKE7 - without any problems. But now the new FW (with re-partition) won't apply to my Phone, even if Odin tells my that everything went fine:

I've tried it with different computers and different versions of Odin (1.85 and 1.3), but after a restart I've still the old firmware installed.
Any Idea?
I hope you are flashing in download mode .. I once flashed it without going to download mode

First, forget re-partiton case in ODIN
You shouldn't use it if your partition is not destroyed.
The you can try to root your phone (using Cf root kernel)
Then, go to Cwm recovery mode in advanced - do a Dalvik wype and re do a factory reset
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
My Phone is already rooted with Tegrak Kernel. I've also tried a other Kernel (CF)...Odin keeps saying OK, but after a Reboot the old Kernel (Tegrak) is still installed.
Try to flash from an other computer, perheaps the problem comes from your PC ?

Ok have you done the wipe Dalvik cache ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I don't have the option wipe Dalvik cache. I've wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition in Recovery-Mode. Tried it...no changes...still can't flash a different FW.
I also just noticed something different:
- I open RootExplorer, and go to the DCIM/Camera-Folder.
- RootExplorer shows me one Picture
- I delete it, and don't get any error
- RootExplorer shows me no Pictures and more free-Space on my USB-Storage
- I reboot my Phone and the Picture is back again
How is that possible? Is my File-System corrupted?
go into advanced in CWM recovery; you should have a wipe dalvik cache option there.
infact you dont have cwm;
download ROM Manager from the market
click the first option and install the CWM recovery menu; try reflashing. i think your recovery menu is ****ed
Be worth format phone and wipe all data from recovery.

Downloaded ROM-Manager, installed CWM-Recovery, rebooted my Phone and got my old (Tegrak) Recovery Menu.
Downloaded ROM-Manager again, installed CWM-Recovery again, flashed my Phone -> still old Firmware -.-
I assume you're using the Samsung USB cable and not a HTC one right?
Yes correct. I don't have a other USB cable... Should I buy a other one?
Btw. I've already flashed my Phone a few days ago with the Samsung cable, and it worked!
Downloaded ROM-Manager again
Does ROM Manager now work with CWM root .

First of all (I don't know if it's relevant, but i just want to point to): I've rooted my Phone with Tegrak-Kernel, not with CF-Kernel.
- I've downloaded ROM-Manager
- Installed CWM-Recovery Menu (ROM-Manager: first option)
- Rebooted into Recovery (ROM-Manager: second option)
- After the Phone Rebooted I still get the Tegrak-Recovery-Menu

I am not familiar with the Tegrak Kernal but in the recovery mode is there not a folder called "advanced" like there is in CF Kernel? If there is, then go to that folder and inside should be an option to wipe Dalvik Cache. Wipe the Dalvik and also wipe the normal Cache partition and then do a factory reset.
Also... Have you tried factory resetting from the actual Phone menu itself? I have heard that sometimes you get a cleaner wipe by doing it that way.
Also... I am just guessing here but do you have USB debugging ON in your device? I am not really sure if that would make a difference or not but I would imagine that it should be ON.
Good Luck...

Hello,
My Galaxy s2 is stuck in boot loop, I can see only the GS2 logo.
It went into this situation after holding down power button trying to turn it off.
Tried to remove battery and nothing changed.
Entered recovery mode and did wipe cache and then reboot.
It went past the initial logo, showed samsung animation and then it went back to samsung logo boot loop. It never went to samsung animation again.
From that point on it does not boot to recovery mode, it shows the android robot with the spinning cog for a while and then it goes back to the samsung logo boot loop.
The phone can go to download mode without problem. I have not tried to install a stock firmware through odin, since I would like to get a backup of the sms messages from the phone first. I already have backup of pics, contacts, etc so I dont care about anything else besides the sms.
The phone was running the latest spanish stock JB version
GT-I9100 Galaxy S II
PDA: I9100XWLSD
CSC: I9100FOPLS4
MODEM: I9100XXLS8
Added: 2013-02-03
The only modifications to stock were
. Root when it was running ICS
. CSC change from EUR to FOP (so that it auto upgraded to JB from ICS)
The phone retained root after the auto JB upgrade
Do you know if there a solution to this situation? I am still under warranty so I can take it back to samsung so I would like to avoid installing CWM recovery kernel that would make them immediately reject service due to warranty void.
thank you in advance!
Yes, you can keep trying to flash a stock firmware in Odin. Click the link in my signature if you're having troubles with the flash failing. Flash the JB version you were on before, that's got the most chance of working with out having to wipe.
Personally, I think you're going to have to get a working recovery and factory reset to be honest.

thank you for answering, so if I install the same version through Odin, it will not wipe out the current phone contents by default?

Correct. A 1-part firmware will not wipe by default. If you flash a 3-part firmware (JB leak, LSJ for instance) that WILL wipe by default.
If you flash something other than the firmware you were on directly before the bootloop, you've got pretty much no chance of getting out of the bootloop without a factory reset. If you flash the same firmware you were on before the bootloop, then there's a chance of getting it to boot up with all your data.
If that (flashing with the same stock ROM) doesn't work, then I'm afraid its down to a factory reset, sorry.

Ok then, I will give it a try and see how it goes. Another solution that I was thinking about is to try to install CWM through odin (i'm not sure if it's possible though) then boot into CWM and get backup through it. Then if I apply a stock firmware through odin, this would remove CWM and install the stock recovery kernel back, correct?
Yes, that's possible. You can flash Philz kernel via Odin, it's stock kernel only with root CWM. Other than that its the same. You could do that procedure using his kernel. When you flash stock rom via Odin then yes, you'd get rid of the custom recovery.
Depending on what you want to do (warranty etc) read up about the flash counter and then triangle away.
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
regarding the 1-part firmware, I downloaded from sammobile the I9100XWLSD_I9100FOPLS4_FOP.zip.
The zip archive contains a tar.md5 file I9100XWLSD_I9100FOPLS4_I9100XXLS8_HOME.tar.md5 and a dll file SS_DL.dll.
So I should use only the tar.md5 in the PDA section of odin, right? should I keep this dll in the same folder as the tar.md5 in case odin needs it?
Also does it make any difference which odin version should I use?
thaks again
Well I suppose it can't hurt to put it in the same directory, but I don't know if it really does anything. Yes, flash it in the pda section.. Which version? Take your pick. I usually use 3.0.4 but have also used others. Click my signature if you want a zip file with a few versions.
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
I tried flashing the same rom as it was installed but nothing changed, after the first boot I see the robot with the cog, a thin progress bar filling below it and then it goes to boot loop. No luck getting into recovery, still the same symptom... Besides the sms backup I am thinking about how to recover it, should I try installing 4.0.3 that was the factory default? Any more ideas??
thanks again
The odin log seems clean though, no error or anything else

And can you try a factory reset from the stock recovery? You're not on 4.0.4 so it'll be safe.
@gastonw, can you have a look here? I know that I've seen Odin passing but still no boot... I just can't remember how on earth it was fixed. It seems I didn't bookmark it either.

Could you provide more details on how to do a factory reset from stock recovery? Do you mean to flash 4.0.3 via odin? Or is it some options in odin that would enforce factory reset?
More details are to search for it mate. It's covered so many times that it's just plain spoonfeeding if I'm to post it.

Eventually I made it work by installing the 4.0.3 EUR via odin. I did not allow it to boot into the OS, as soon as it finished flashing via odin, I rebooted into recovery mode. This time it went in successfully. Then I used the CWM recovery kernel that just runs from the sd (it does not install) and got the full backup. Later on by using nandroid manager I recovered the sms messages + more (apps, etc). Thanks for all the help!
Hi, please can you suggest what else I can try to fix this phone.
I have Samsung S3 GT-I9300
It was working fine but suddenly, I turned it on and It is stuck on the Samsung LOGO forever.
It doesn't go to recovery mode when pressing HOME+VOL UP+POWER.
But I could go to Download mode. however Odin fails to install CWM and TWRP
this is download mode:

Try the rescue firmware thread in general forum, using a pit file. Also, downgrading the bootloader might help flash to work.

Thanks for your reply .
Just before I start flashing, I want to confirm things as I am a newbie.
I have downloaded FIRMWARE FACTORY 4.1.2
GT-I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY
from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6
Do I have to check Re-partition box too beside auto reboot and F. Reset time?
About downgrading, I don't really know which bootloader I have.
Depend on what version firmware you were on before 4.1 or 4.3. Follow the instructions in that thread.
Downgrade bootloader to BLFB, search for it.

Odin fails to install again. with Re-partition selected :/
Can you please point me to this BLFB , there are bunch of threads but nothing is clear.
I appreciate your help a lot
I screwed it more trying to install this Bootloader_XXELLA_Odin.tar
now it show this message
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
i45.tinypic.com/27y2tmd.jpg
please any advices, I am still able to go download mode
1. Downgrade bootloader
2. Flash stock firmware
If the bootloader flashed correctly, then try step 2.
The bootloader you used is not ideal, I don't know if that still has the problem but it might work.

I just installed kies after I got this message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
but it didn't work.
I think there is no luck with this phone !!!! : (
Thanks for your help anyway.
I don't have high hopes that this is fixable, but my Verizon Galaxy S4 phone was bricked after taking the OC1 update.
Long story short, I flashed the stock Lollipop OC1 firmware to my phone via Odin3 (v3.10) instead of the neutered one with the NK4 bootloader, by accident... I stupidly didn't read the full file name in a hurry. So, now I have an unrooted stock OC1 lollipop firmware on my machine.
Not doing all my research and thus not knowing that the OC1 bootloader is locked, I tried to use Odin to re-flash an NC5 boot.img (the old NG6 to NC5 downgrade method). This actually flashed just fine. But, it put me in a bootloop.
So, I tried to re-flash the full stock OC1 firmware. This failed as per the Odin output below:
File analysis...
SetupConnection...
Initialization...
Get PIT for mapping...
Firmware update start...
SingleDownload.
boot.img
NAND write start!!
recovery.img
system.img.ext4
__XmitData_Write
Complete(Write) operation failed.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I get similar failing results whenever I try to flash any firmware via Odin.
So I can only access download mode. My recovery won't boot, and when I just try to boot it up normally it gave a screen saying:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
So I download Kies, it recognizes there is a device there, but doesn't recognize it as a compatible device.
I use the Kies option under tools "Emergency firmware recovery," but the device doesn't pop up as one in need of recovery.
So I use the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" tool. I type in Galaxy S4, it downloads the firmware, starts updating... and has an unexpected error. It says to run recovery. But I already tried that, and the device isn't recognized.
However, now on boot there is a slightly newer screen, saying:
Software Update Failed
Your device didn't update successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update.
(sorry I don't have a picture)
Now, I can't install the Verizon Software Upgrade/Repair Assistant because apparently you can't download it from their site, since it is supposed to install automatically when you plug your phone into your computer via USB. That obviously isn't happening with my phone in the state it's in.
On XDA here, I found someone posting this software Repair Assistant as "SUA_ar" tool. It installed on my computer, but the software doesn't even recognize my device when it is plugged in, so it won't even try to recover.
By the way, both in download mode and when I try to boot up, the top left of the screen says this:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
At this point, I don't care about root, tripping KNOX, or anything. I just want to know if there is a way I can get it working as a phone again.
I definitely deserve mockery for my stupidity, but if you can help, too, that would be great.
@KaosMaster (I think)has a special little ZIP that may work. It is the full wipe, but it also contains files for re partition and whatnot. That MIGHT work.
You must use the following files:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4RU_ZH5QUASNmxLX3JpejBXREE/edit?usp=docslist_api
If you want to revert to NK1 please use this image!
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4RU_ZH5QUAST1M5WkRNcy1Xek0/edit?usp=docslist_api
This is to repair to OC1:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4RU_ZH5QUASaU9LcDJ3WWZfdXM/edit?usp=docslist_api
In the ODIN you just downloaded, select the CSC button, and select the extracted ALl_VZW_I545****.tar.md5
Then select these checkboxes:
Auto-Reboot
Re-Partition
F. Reset Time
NAND Erase All
Phone Bootloader Update
Phone EFS Clear
Hit START
Wow, thanks for the quick responses!
Unfortunately, the phone doesn't seem to want to let it do the NAND erase all for some reason! Or at least that's what I gather from this output:
Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)
File analysis...
SetupConnection...
Initialization...
Erase...
Complete(Write)operation failed.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1).
This happened with both the NK1 and the OC1. Strange, I don't know what is limiting that Erase procedure...
In the top left corner of the phone, under all the ODIN MODE data, now it says:
START[224,1440]
ERASING USERDATA PARTITION...
And there is just a tiny bit of progress bar under the android logo.
If that matters.
Just uncheck the erase all for now, but I would try one more time with that setup...
It should just work
---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 AM ----------
And you didn't select re partition...
That is important
I did select re-partition, sorry I forgot to include that part in the output.
I unchecked "NAND erase all" and it had this failure after Initialization...
Set PIT file...
DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Get PIT for mapping...
Firmware update start..
SingleDownload.
aboot.mbn
NAND Write Start!!
FAIL! (Auth)
Complete(Write) operation failed.

You have to use the OC1 lollipop file then
Pull battery, re insert, then ODIN mode on power
Yes, this is actually with the OC1 file you provided, in the CSC slot. Should I try it in the AP slot with same options (except NAND erase)?
Oh...you can try that!! But I am worried about your hardware NOW.
If you just let it start, it gets to the emergency screen?? If yes, ODIN flash with that screen on the device.
Also they battery must be above 80% or it might not flash.
Oh, you mean do not flash it in Download mode? I should flash it in the screen where it says "Software Update Failed" ?
Yes try that
Also..I am working on a set of repair files
It made it farther!
I haven't tried AP slot yet. This is with OC1 file, in CSC slot, selecting NAND Erase All (and the other ones you said too)
Initialization..
Erase..
Set PIT file..
DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Get PIT for mapping..
Firmware update start..
SingleDownload.
aboot.mbn
NAND Write Start!!
sbl1.mbn
sbl2.mbn
sbl3.mbn
rpm.mbn
Complete(Write) operation failed.
etc...
Pull battery...go into ODIN...repeat
Ughh. Now Odin isn't even recognizing my phone in the emergency screen. It still recognizes it in download mode, though.
It was seeing it before in the emergency screen, obviously. Restarted Odin, restarted my phone a couple times, still nothing. Trying a couple more times.
Go to where you hold the buttons to download...This is ODIN. Will have the boot to flash in 5 mins
Good things happening! I just took it out and inserted it a couple more times after restarting Odin.
It's now flashing system.img.ext4 and hasn't failed yet. Fingers crossed...
Awesome!! All the checkboxes marked also??
Yes, even NAND Erase All.
That's how we ROLL!! Enjoy! Your device is like brand new!
You are very much the man, Kaos! It's back up!
I've been addicted to root for the past 4 years with various devices, but I think I'll chill out with that after this craziness. ... for now.
Back in the days I had a emmc problem with a Note 4. I made a image from a working device and booted it up from a sd card. Since s6 edge doen't have a sd slot I wonder how to restore it.
So I can enter Download Mode but not Recovery mode. It's a SM-G925F Belgian model. G925FXXU5EQD4_G925FPRO5EQE1_G925FXXU5EQCD_HOME.tar is what I used with Odin but no luck. Also I tried with SmartSwitch with model and serial number and so but no luck either. After that I tried to flash twrp-3.1.1-0-zerolte.img.tar but still no Recovery Mode. The device turns on, schows the logo and reboots. Always bootloop. This happened after a week of using the new software update.
FYI: Not rooted

Before you flash a pit file (as they can be very dangerous) try again to remove hidden.img. extract firmware with 7zip or something similar. Remove hidden.img and then repack. Then flash.
Or
Flash a different firmware

I did this yesterday and it passes in Odin. I unticked the "restart when done" thing in options. I restarted manually by power + home + volume down. When screen was off I immediately pressed power + home + volume up but it still doesn't go into Recovery Mode

Try a different firmware. Firmware is probably corrupted.

Thanks for the link. How to know the right model. I only know that's it's a SM-G925F from Belgium (PRO)
