Hi All,
i think i just softbricked my S3. i was running Omega rom 33.2 and found the phone was unstable. Hence i wiped data, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and etc. after flashing the rom, it got stucked at samsung boot screen.
i even tried to reflash the rom but still failed to boot up. after that i decided to flash stock rom using Odin (I9300ZSDLK2). it managed to boot in but then it got stucked at recovery (failed to mount /system (Invalid argument). i thought it could be something wrong with the /system, i then flash CWM to format /system. obvious i wont be asking for help if that step succeeded. i basically got pawned because i am not able to mount /system. anybody can help me?

hi
after trying to flash "cm-9.0.0-nozomi.zip" with CWM, my xperia s get stucked in a boot loop. after that i tried to restore my backup with CWM but it couldn't restore /data partition , and i couldn't mount it too. the error is "can't mount /data (invalid argument)" or something like that.
now i can boot to ics but because of not having a mounted /data i can't save anything , and when i reset my phone, it get factory reset-ed.
and i'm using advanced ics kernel 11.
if anyone can help me, it would be very nice.
i flashed a new rom using flashtool and everything seems to be fine.
the CWM in the CM9 is a bit broken
best ist: flash another (any, exept the newest xsx, his CWM is also broken... all another Kernel have a working recovery) Kernel via Fastboot and then work with the recovery from this kernel..
My phone gets stuck in a bootloop, just constantly showing the samsung animation. I can get into both CWM recover and Download mode. I have tried flashing a new rom, wiping everything and restoring a previous Nandroid backup. Now the problem with this is when trying to wipe i get the message error mounting /data and it skips this step. This message appears when trying to factory restore/wipe, restore to previous back up and when trying to mount /data from the mounts and storage menu.
I think the closest I have found to resolving this problem is here:

Now the problem with this is it is for a verizon galaxy s3, so im assuming not the i9300. Will it be safe to try with an international version?
Or is there any other fix that I could do?
By the way my carrier is 3 if that helps.
Thanks
So i was playing around with different roms yesterday (tried cm7/9/11) and i must have messed up something when flashing cm11 nightly. After i was unable to flash any rom with any recovery (flashed ok, but then stopped at samsung logo) i tried odin with stock firmware found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822109
Odin flash went ok but immediatly when phone rebotted, i got errors on /data (fail to mount /data invalid argument) . Now stock rom bootloops and if i flash anything custom, i get stuck on samsung logo.
Also if i try to format /data from stock recovery, i get "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11)
Any ideas what to do ? It seems that /data partrition is somehow messed up or something..

After changing from ext4 to f2fs data and cache i saw an error e:/data cant mount same with cache.I decided to wipe cache but i couldnt, so i downloaded stock rom and i flashed it by odin after that i hear only samsung startup sound and bootlooping logo.When im going to recovery error with cache dissapered but with data its still visible.

Why don't you use a different odin version may be much older one or newer one and by the way did u download the right firmware from the right source? Verify whatever I mentioned and give it a try with older odin,or simply follow some YouTube video! Thank me if I had helped you!
Ok i repaired this errors in recovery i install right kernel agaim from this pack (link above) next i install twrp and wipe data cache and other stuff, and when i flashed resurection remix with gapps(and without) my phone get bootloop. I tried cachce data dalvik wipe- doesnt work i tried to flash again this room still bootloop.
How can i repair this? Should i flash by odin stock rom?

Try going back to ext4 format instead of f2fs.
If that doesn't work, try flashing stock via Odin then start over with the guide, I believe there is an updated way to upgrade that has the rePIT built in, try finding it and use that guide.

Hi, I'm new and have a problem of my own doing.
I loaded the recovery mode and attempted to load TWRP without knowing how to activate Fastboot. Unfortunately, I had wiped the cache partition and rebooted the phone.
It resulted in kicking itself into recovery after a failed boot-up into android, as string of E: can't mount /cache showed. I tried to wipe data/facctory reset and try again but I'm stuck.
If anyone has a possible solution/suggestion, I'm open to do it.
