Does anybody know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you have a Nand, you could just try to nand back.

Try use older version. 4.0 recovery.
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium

I tried updating the recovery but it's not working.
Tried to update using fastboot flash but its stuck at writing 'recovery'...
Tried to update using PG32IMG.zip, it shows the first loading bar but the update prompt doesn't come up.

Also I don't have access to nandroid backup.

You don't have a Nand? Or you can't access it because of the way your device is acting? Because if you have a nand, you can Nand back using ADB.

I cannot access adb since I cannot boot into Android. I can only access fastboot. Backup from recovery (clockworkmod) is not available even though I swear I made a backup a while back.

You can do Fastboot ADB. As long as you have it setup. Several threads here on XDA on how to setup Fastboot ADB.

Hey there, I am encountering a similar problem, any luck on sorting it out?

Hi, I'm also having the same problem here with my dads IncS. Since the last post was over a month ago...is there a solution to this problem yet?

[Q] Low Battery induced Samsung logo bootloop for Fascinate

Hello all, I have a Fascinate on AOKP Milestone 4. I'm not sure what kernel, I don't think it's Voodoo, it may be Icy Glitch.
I forgot to charge it overnight, it had low power, and I left it on during the day. I tried turning it on, and it just goes the SAMSUNG logo for about 6 seconds, briefly flashes off, then goes back to the SAMSUNG logo for around 30 seconds, then repeats.
If I plug it in with the battery, it goes to the charging screen, which is not animated.
If I plug it it with no battery and the down volume button depressed, it goes to the Download screen.
Any help would be appreciated, I have Nandroids, and I would like to avoid wiping all of my data.
Based on the other threads I searched, I'll have to use Odin. Will this erase my backups/files?
Thanks!
No, ODIN will not erase your backups. Can you get into recovery?
Good to know. What about photos/other files?
And no, only the "download" mode.
Also, is there ODIN for linux?
Check out droidstyles guide. There is a section for you there. I just used Google for the heck of it...yeah I know...and it says that there is no Odin for Linux, on heimdall

You have the symptoms of the dreaded bootloop caused by 3-fingering into recovery on ICS ROM's. Follow section 9 in Droidstyle's guide.
I have tried section 9, and while I can get the stock rom to work, after the next step, I can't three finger, and it boots to the messed up CWM.
I could take a video if that would be helpful.
Thanks!
What do you mean the stock ROM? A video might be helpful.
---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------
Actually, try the bottom part of this post, but use the stock ROM from Droidstyle's guide.
The stock EH03 Gingerbread from section 5 of droidstyles guide.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10728-guideinstalling-a-romcwm-recoveryrootor-going-back-to-stock/
It's the stock Samsung touchwiz rom, that works it's just recovery that's messed up.
I'll try the heimdall guide.
Ok, so following the guide, I got to
DI01 all in one: Thanks Adrynalyne.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4D3JPBKR
EB01 all in one: Thanks Adrynalyne.

Both of these links are broken, should I open the EH03( "ED05 Froyo: http://dl.dropbox.co...OYO_REL.tar.md5" from droidstyles) tar.md5 and use those files?
thanks!
I apologize, I am a bit confused. Can you give me a step-by-step walkthrough?
I followed this guide:
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/s...dall-recovery-how-unbrick-your-fascinate.html and used heimdall.
But instead of using the DI01 or EB01 all in one per instructions, I had to use the
stock EH03 Gingerbread from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10728-guideinstalling-a-romcwm-recoveryrootor-going-back-to-stock/ section 5.
My phone currently boots into normal Samsung touchwiz, like when I got it.
Three finger goes to Android system recovery <3e>.
Not sure what to do from here.
Use ODIN to flash cwm4 fixed for cm7.
Sorry for the belated reply, but for those finding this thread, the instructions provided worked.
Thanks All!

SHV-E110S after the brick (JTAG)

Hi,
After returning from the recovery of the bootloader (jatg),
I tried to install version for my phone.
But I get stuck on the SAMSUNG logo.
Looking into recovery mode, you can see the following errors:
E: failed to mount / data (invalid argment)
E: failed to mount / system (invalid argment)
Any idea?
Thanks

Roberto querido, flash siyah and mount sd via CMW.
There are also a couple of threads regarding this matter. I'd advice you to check them out.

Help! E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36?

I have been trying to get to JB for the past couple of days, but I think I've screwed something up and I'm not sure how bad.. After some frustration with my PC giving me an error when sending the JB boot.img, (which magically decided to work 10 hours later with an ICS boot.img) I wanted to get my phone back to the 4.1 ICS rom I was using with NAND backup (Tron 1.2). I got it to show the correct bootscreen. I loaded the boot.img with fastboot and it stayed on the boot screen for 30 mins.
I found out that my Amon Ra was old and I used "fastboot flash recovery" to update 3.15. Between the NAND restore and the Amon Ra update, I noticed that when I accessed recovery it would and still does pop up with this immediately.

From what I've read with similar errors on other devices, the internal memory is screwed up and I need a new device. whomp whomp. Not a huge deal ultimately, but I would love to avoid that and continue with this device. Any ideas?

Try wiping it under mounts. Worked for me.

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you talking about choosing "Wipe" and wiping cache or doing something under "Mounts"? Because I don't have an option to wipe anything under "Mounts".
I tried to wipe cache earlier but I get the same error plus:

Running the ruu should fix your problem

Go into the stock ROM than go to settings than storage and erase the SD card in there and it should fix those partitions.
Edit: also 3.16 version of the recovery is out if you want to update it

Can you download the 605.12 version in the PH98IMG format and then put that on your SD card and boot into hboot ?
Androidpolice has a link to the ph98img version of the ruu....that will take the PC out of the loop for you and let the phone take care of the update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I have an unlocked bootloader. According to the Android Police article I found it will not flash with a locked bootloader. I think I also have Amon Ra installed as that is what I used to root in the first place.

so relock and flash it. have you tried yet?
For what it's worth.. i didn't relock my bootloader and simply flashed it. I then re-flashed recovery and used a ph98img file to change my hboot back to the modded 2.27 version (I am s-off so the phone simply doesn't care anymore).

It's the opposite of that. You need to be locked to run an RUU. Amon Ra won't matter to run an RUU, once you have run it you will have stock recovery and stock ROM. Then you can unlock again and flash Amon Ra or TWRP.
Also, be very patient when you run it. It should run through twice - it goes to a black screen for a bit then goes back to bootloader and goes through the updating process again. It will let you know when it's done, could take up to 15 min or so.
I tried relocking and flashing the build with the global update. I haven't had a chance to download the previous build to see if it works. The 4.0.x build told me that boot was older. Before trying to root again I had downloaded all the OTA updates. I am in so far over my head.. LOL

If it makes you feel any better I'm in the same boat with the sd card, i've tried the ruu, the sd patch from other threads, formatted the card to fat32 on the pc and still no luck. The Infected 2.5 Rom runs great though just cant get the sd card to show up.

Are you sure its not a hardware issue? Sorta sounds like it if hboot doesn't see the sdcard either. Did you try a different card?
Well...before I tried that I must have done something wrong while trying to fix that so now I can't get past the boot loader lol, so working on that now, just gonna try to get it all back to stock and start over.

I solved the problem, I just installed the stock recovery, and than flash the TWRP for JB Hboot 5.0.0(thanks ckpv5 for the links), and the errors disappeared!! I installed SU, and I successfully got root access!
I can use root apps, and they works, but I cant uninstall system apps!
I try som apps from Geegle Play, but doesnt work. The System app remover uninstalls it perfectly, but when I reboot, the uninstalled apps coming back to the phone!! I try to uninstall the apks from the system/app, but the same result. Can I flash a ROM with theese problem? I dont want to brick my device, please help!
