Hello all,
I'm having a problem getting my phone to boot up when I tried flashing back to stock with Odin 1.37 using .512 pit and SGH-T959UVKA6. I have done it successfully in the past, but the mistake i made this go round is I accidentally checked "re-partition" and it gets stuck on the following error in Android System Recovery 3e:
update media, please wait
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
Can anyone advise if they have fixed this error in the past? I really need to get this phone back to TMO for under warranty repair and am kind of scared of being screwed here.

Nothing to big happened. I check repartition every time I never have any problems.
If it shows u anything ur good.
Boot into download mode and odin back again.

Hmm....
I would agree with you except the following:
1. Tried to flash same without checking repartition...failed x3.
2. tried to flash to JI6 with same pit file...failed.
3. tried to change pit file to 513 and tried again with KA6...failed.
4. tried to go back to 512 and JI6...failed.
I have tried several times variants of all those combos...all failed.
Per the following post I am trying this fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
hopefully going back to JFD will fix this....
****NOTE: When I say "Failed" I mean I get the same message that I got when I first received the error.....
Success
Wow the post really did it! Gotta love XDA...quick someone teach me how to thank around here...lol

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Fascinate. If anyone is up for a challenge and could read the small novel I wrote below I would greatly appreciate it.
I was able to successfully root my Fascinate last week however I got into trouble when I decided I wanted to install a custom rom. I read that the rom required Voodoo which I didn't/still don't know much about. I went to Project Voodoo and downloaded PV 5.5 and flashed it via Odin thinking that this was all I needed to do before installing the custom rom.
Now I'm stuck in Recovery Mode, I've followed several tutorials and tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery via update.zip but every time I run update.zip the install fails and I get the Green Android guy with the ! point. Recovery says Errior in /sdcard/update.zip (status 2) installation aborted.
Re-downloading the file update.zip doesn't change anything.
Also, if I try to wipe data/factory reset I get the following error:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (No such file or directory)
E: install_application_for_customer: Can't mount HIDDENSCARD: Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
I tried following some of the tutorials to remove VooDoo such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784 as I think this is why I've gotten into trouble, but I can't install CWM and I've had no luck with ADB and accessing the areas required to replace files on my phone while in recovery mode.
I can't run the Vodoo Uninstaller as I'm stuck in Recovery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the fiance isn't liking the current state of her phone.

I think this is what you need.
Thanks DoobiHowserMD for the quick reply. I followed the tut, everything seemed to go well in Odin but now when I turn the phone on it says this:
--Wiping data:...
Formatting FOTA: ....
FOTA wipe failed.
and then it continues to reboot and loop.

I have a GT-I9100M from Bell in Canada. My phone is broke and I've spent the last 24 hours trying to fix it with no avail
I was running the stock ICS rom from Bell. I rooted the phone and removed all the Bell bloatware and that was it.
Yesterday I came across a Rom that had the S3 version of Touchwiz so I decided to try it out - Salman ICS ROM for Galaxy S2 i9100! [TouchWiz UX][S Voice][GS3 ROM]
The rom installed perfectly and when it restarted, it stopped at the Samsung Galaxy boot screen. I attempted to go into recovery mode and it couldn't.
It would go into download mode. So I tried to flash the stock bell ICS rom - I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_BMC_www.samsdroid.com. It flashed with no issues but when it rebooted - back to the boot screen I go.
I flashed a CF kernal so that I could get into CWM and attempt to wipe it. It kept hanging on formatting /data.
I came across this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 and followed the steps and got no where.
Is my phone completely dead and if it is not - how do I get it back in working condition?
Help!!:crying:
When you flashed Bell's stock ROM from the guide thread, could you reach the recovery mode screen? I had the same problem and I simply did a factory reset after I flashed the stock ROM.
After I tried to flash my stock firmware with ODIN
I get stuck at Android System Recovery <3e>
and get these errors:
E: failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:copy_kernel_file :: Cant open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E:failed to mount /efs (No such file or Directory)
E:failed to mount /cache (no such file or directory)
E:cant mount /cache/recovery log
E:cant open /cache/recovery log
and as you can imagine the list goes on..... and when I hit reboot system now - it just freezes at the Samsung i9100 boot screen.
AAARRGGG
I did some more reading and someone suggested trying a Frankenstein rom KK5 as it does a complete wipe of the data partition on the phone. When I tried this, it does stuck on datafs.
I believe that my phone is broken

looks like you have hit the eMMC brick, you could try to flash a pit file, and flashing it with repartition activated... This its the only thing you could try, before sending it off for repair

try to find a Stock ICS which does a full wipe. Usually the first edition of stock ICS
of each region does that.
Dear friend i understand your fear and i wan t to share with you my research, my trouble came for downgrading from ics to GB and now i have the red letters with the e cant mount **** , so i found that installing this rom (XXKH3) with the Phone Bootloader Update filed checked could fix it.
The original post is in spanish so if you need it it is here.
Scroll down until ERROR: E: Can't mount cache
http://www.taringa.net/posts/celulares/14623579/samsung-galaxy-S2---downgrade-ICS-a-Gingerbread.html
But on this post the link to XXKH3 is broken so i found this other link on english with the link working
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxkh3-on-samsung-galaxy-s-2-ii-i9100/
I'll try this thing in a couple hours when the download finish due to my 1.5 mb internet and i'll let you know any new,
Good luck
Verizon SCH-I545, rooted NC5 using towelroot, installed safestrap and was running fine on HyperDrive.
Chose to do a full wipe (to try and solve SD card issue) via Safestrap and BOOM - won't boot.
I'm using Odin 3.09, and I've tried (after verifying MD5) both ROMS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172&nocache=1
MD5 checks out, Odin3 connects to phone and "approves" the AP file input. After clicking start It runs through the process until about 3 seconds after it gets to "recovery.img"...
"Complete(Write) operation failed"
Phone says the following

Happens each time. I've tried 4 USB ports with 2 different USB cables.
KIES was suggested by the boot screen that says there's a firmware issue, but KIES says my phone is not eligible to upgrade.
Help Please!
--UPDATE--
ran PIT file and at least got the samsung broken lock screen, but still no boot, still Odin fail.
--UPDATE 2--
after second boot the samsung screen is no longer, back to KIES screen

Yup- MD5 checked and passes. Not sure what's going on at this point. I'm going to try and see if I get the same results on another computer
I had something similar happen a while back and it ended up being a formatting issue. I spent days trying to flash various recoveries and backups. It turned out my /system was getting corrupted when I formated with it. I am am mdk using twrp so its a little different than you but somehow my recovery was corrupted and causing the problem. After I managed to update twrp and reformat everything I was good to go.

Thanks everyone for the help!
So I ended up getting everything to work...
All I had to do was take a new microUSB cable to my wife's Win XP laptop that hasn't been turned on in literally 10 years. But it has USB (and a dial up modem which we did not try haha) --- and I put all the files I needed on a flash drive, and it worked first time, no bugs no challenges. VERY odd.
Thanks again!
I recently upgraded phones and I'm looking to sell my old gs3. But I had put a costom Rom on it awhile back but during the process at one point I ran into the same problem with the logo screen but I fixed it (I completely forget how) and that was that untill recently when I attempted to return the phone to stock by updating it to 4.3 with kies and that was fine it wasn't until I ran a master reboot that the logo problem resurfaced at that point I tryed to use Odin to flash stock firmware which after doing further research was a terrible idea to do with 4.3 but that's where I'm at my phone does not boot up past the Samsung logo luckily I can still access the dowload mode. I am thinking that I'm going to try flashing a root66 stock 4.3 is that a good idea. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you
Update:I tryed flashing the root 66. I did the newest 4.3 tmobile download i could find which is what fixed it when this happened about a year ago but this time it did nothing. Also when i boot into recovery mode at the bottom under where it says Seccessfully applied multi-CSC it says in red lettering

Hello,
Yesterday I unlocked my Galaxy S3 i9300, turned the Wifi on and soon after that my phone started to reboot.
This happened a few times before, but this time it got stuck on the "Galaxy S3" Screen.
So I booted in the Recovery Mode (TWRP 3.1.10) and was planning to wipe the cache partition, but I got the Error that the Recovery is unable to mount Any Partition..
So I cant do anything.
I wanted to ask, why my phone can not mount any Partitions anymore for example (system, efs, cache..).
What exatly is damaged and is it repairable?
I took a picture of the Error Message, but i dont know how to upload it. So I wrote it down.
Hope someone can help me and sorry for my bad english.
Kind Regards.

Try to find .pit file and flash it with odin. and then flash your stock rom.
My phone's model is SHV-E210K, i have searched on google but haven't found any .pit file related to my phone.
The sboot.bin file is the bootloader and it is not flashing because the bootloader in the phone is newer than than the bootloader in the ROM, the ROM is not for the phone, try a different USB cable, and/or try different USB ports.
The problem is recovery has gone crazy. Recovery mounts partitions. I've seen this problem a lot with twrp. When it happened to me I flashed the latest official cwmr via Odin. If you have a stock rom on the phone you can flash a stock recovery too. DO NOT FLASH A STOCK RECOVERY IF YOUR ROM ISN'T STOCK/ROOTED STOCK!!!
