Hi, I'm new to these forums and need some help!
I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 yesterday using the Odin ver 1.85 tool and it was working perfectly all day. I was doing a little research as to how you can use custom ROMs and so I decided to give it a try.
I downloaded the ROM Manager application and flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery that comes with it before attempting to flash a ROM. I then proceeded to download the CyogenMod ver. 9.1.0 that comes with ROM Manager as well. I made sure to make a backup of my current ROM on both my internal and external SD cards and then went ahead and flashed the Cyogen ROM using the application. I also chose to wipe the data/factory reset before confirming.
After the process was done, the phone rebooted with the Cyogen logo and it was all working fine for the first 2 minutes. Then all of a sudden while going through the new ROM's screens, my phone rebooted showing the "Samsung GALAXY S III GT-I9300" message and with a little red "!" mark on the top left. It stays like that all the time. I tried turning the power off and taking out the battery but it always goes back to that screen immediately after.
I'm able to go into the ClockworkMod recovery by holding the volume up+power+home buttons but I see the following lines below:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.2
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I've tried wiping the cache, wipe data/factory reset, and wiping the dalvik cache options but it doesn't seem to work. I also tried flashing the ROM again from the SD card, but when I try to do it, it says "E: Can't mount /sdcard/". Same thing with my external SD card.
When I plug the phone to my computer, it doesn't seem to detect my device either. Is my phone bricked and will I have to get a new one if this is the case?
I tried to do some searching and this thread seems to be similar to what I'm facing but not quite as the methods suggested by the users are unknown to me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500947
I appreciate any help I can get!

put your phone to download mode and flash rom with odin.
That should fix it.

Thanks for the responses!
I tried to flash the i9300 firmware using Odin as suggested but it failed during the process (attached screen shot). I tried doing this 2 or 3 times but I always got the FAIL message. Is there anything else I can try doing before giving up on my phone? Maybe I flashed the wrong file?

Hmm not an expert here but can you try to check the "Re-Partition" checkbox
take your sdcard out, it should not matter but just in case

If you're not an expert, please don't make suggestions.
Re-partition bricks the s3. I understand its semi bricked now but there is no return from re-partition.

OK we can rule out SDS at least....
The firmware you have tried to flash is the leak. Try the official firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
It might help, not sure

Doesnt matter - try EME2 that's in the first post.
You will probably end up with an ODIN fail again but its worth trying...

As expected, it failed even after using the suggested firmware. Does this mean the phone is completely bricked now and nothing can be done?

Yeap you are right, I should have stated that!
The article states that you should user root66 and Linked boot chains for your device.
This sounds like it might help with OP problem.
He for sure has wrong kernel ... that is similar enough to work but screw is mounting point. Try change kernel with odin ... then flash with odin twrp or philz recovery and flash a proper rom

Hello all,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830i that is stuck in Android system recovery (3e) mode, and it seems there is no way to get it out of there.
- upon selecting wipe data/factory reset the device is stuck with one message "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." and "Formatting /data..." bellow
- upon selecting apply zip from the SD card the installation always fails with various error messages (I tried to install cyanogen mod rom in an attempt to recover, but failed as well)
- upon selecting reboot now the whole screen disappears with only the "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." message at the bottom of the screen and I need to remove the battery.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone on this forum could help with the issue, as I have search for possible solutions without any luck so far, and my phone appears to be bricked.
Thank you,
John
My guess is u still on stock recovery. Flashing cm rom or any other custom rom needs clockworkmod recovery, moroever theres no cm rom for s5830i yet.
For now u could try to reflash stock rom with odin. Theres a thread somewhere guiding howto do so for s5830i. Also do note that anything for original s5830 wont work on your s5830i.
Last but not least, do read more and understand what you're trying to do before u really hardbricked the poor thing.
Thanks for the pointers, I really appreciate it and everything works fine now.
It was actually my nephew's phone, so I have no idea how he managed to brick it like that.

I have the exact same problem. Except I can't even enter into download mode. Phone boots into recovery mode regardless of what buttons I press, get stuck at "formatting /data", and I can't flash anything. All the buttons seem to function as intended in the recovery menu, so it's not a hardware failure. Any ideas?

Flash stock rom thru odin then from recovery mod Clear data and cache then reboot. [emoji4]
I know this is kind of old but I have same problem, i got this phone from cousin and it wasnt booting , it was going straight into recovery, since my mother has same phone and i used odin before to save her, i am familiar with odin so, I tried new firmware flash with odin , it passed on odin but again doesn't want to finish install on the phone, it says
installing update...
--appling muti-csc --
Fromatting /cache...
-- Appling Muti-CSC __
and it wont go anywhere from there , and if I reboot it goes back in recovery again and it wont format data again, formatting cache works. I also tried to flash cm7, rooted it, installed cwm but when i do reboot it is not in cwm but in regular recovery, so after that I installed cwm again and without reboot installed cm7 kernel wich succeded , after that installing the cm7 itself stuck on "installing update" , could this be hardware issue, it always seem to be stuck when its doing something with "data". I tried couple odin flashes multi package and single package, i was carefull to chose correct firmware, only thing i could make mistake is maybe with pit and re-partition. Anyone help i would appriciate it much since i have no other phone than this.

I think my phone is dead. Need help bad.
I went to flash gapps 20121011 in recovery. When recovery loaded I saw this:
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/log/last_log
I didn't take much notice. I went on to install gapps 20121011 and the phone restarted. Resurrection logo (Custom ROM I am using) kept on loading. I went back to recovery and I couldn't wipe the cache, it would freeze.
I tried to mount EMMC and I get this: E:can't mount /emmc/
I tried reflashing the ROM, but it got stuck on 50% in AROMA installation. Stayed like that for a very long time before I turned the phone off.
I then tried to use Odin to flash a stock ROM via download mode, Odin recognised my phone and when I started it, nothing would happen, it will just stall
Then when I turned my phone off after waiting for a long time, I get this message with a yellow triangle in the middle and 2 computers side by side: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies.
Every time I turn off and on my phone I get that message.
I have a USB jig and can get into download mode. Nothing seems to work.
Please, I really appreciate the help here. How can I get this phone to work again?

Does it make a difference if it's ICS? I was trying to use Odin to flash stock GB version which is pretty old and it didn't work, just did nothing and stalled.
I'm downloading stock ICS as we speak. It's 717MB.

There should be no difference. If GB doesn't work your only choice is ICS. Don't flash 4.0.4 just to stay safe

I installed Kies when I first got the phone and installed the correct drivers.
Then I uninstalled Kies but the correct drivers remained.
Odin recognises my phone (becomes yellow, which indicates drivers are installed) and stops at a certain point. I am pretty sure if Odin recognises my phone correct drivers are installed.
Sounds like a nad usb connection to me. Try Odin with a different usb port on your pc. Or a different computer.

Can you get into recovery?
Can you get to mounts and storage?
If so I have got out of a few sticky situations by:
*Go to mounts and storage and format cache, system, data and internal SD card. (Gives you a nice clean slate)
*Connect to Odin and flash a complete 4.0.3 firmware package that includes CSC, ROM and Modem.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your assistance.
I tried all the methods listed here on another computer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771
The last step was to .PIT and Re-Partition. I did that and now the phone is dead. Won't boot up. I have no USB Jig here, but a repair center is close by.
I gave them the phone now and let them deal with it.
I'm pretty sure they will offer a replacement as I have nooo idea what they would do that I would have done different. I tried almost everything.
hello everyone i decided to create this thread for anyone who accidentally bricked their galaxy player 5.0 USA model or just wants to set their device to the original GB ROM & KERNEL.
all of these files i have found and i did not create anything but this tutorial for you guys!
ENJOY!!!!
you will need odin only
you will maintain root access
link to .zip download
http://www.4shared.com/zip/ynV2Lm_p/FullRestoreSGP50USA.html?
README File
*****************************************************
Ok this is how to fully restore your Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 USA to factory defaults even if you are on jellybean or an other rom
this also works if you have soft-bricked your device.
1. open odin
2. select PIT and choose the G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit
3. click start
4. let your device reboot and reboot it into download mode
5. open a fresh odin again without the pit selected
6. go to PDA and select package_us2.3.5.tar.md5
7. click start
--dont freak out if your device reboots and stays at the SAMSUNG logo just boot into download mode
8. open a fresh odin again
9. go to PDA and select ueki8_min.tar.md5
10. click start
NOTE-- when the device reboots you need to hold volume up and the power button to go to standard android recovery
11. in android recovery click factory reset and erase cache
12. reboot your galaxy player and it should look exacty as you bought it (plus superuser b/c you are still rooted)
13. if you want to all you need to go back to flashing roms is to put clockworkmod recovery on your device
14. your done
wnerena the
Thanks! This helped because most posts and tutorials don't point out that you have to do the pit / kernel / rom steps one at a time (and bootloaders). I was trying to slam dunk the pit, bootloaders and kernel in one update and it wasn't working.
Question: Where did you get the tar.MD5 file from???

Hown can I get the download link?
Thanks a lot!
i would like a link also as im having the dreaded chagring issues and need it replaced

is your device fully charged? try to flash the recovery file then turn off your device while plugged into a charger and let it charge. i had a similar problem. make sure you have the latest odin for the best possibility of fixing your device. then start from step 1 and try again. it took me several tries before it finally worked.
i kinda have bricked mine 4 different times and have used this to get out of all of them. meaning it should work!!!:laugh:

Yep, thanks for the help! I just needed to stop and charge my device in between flashing the ROM and second ROM, and it worked!
Please advise
Thanks for this post, guys. My device is finally doing more than just displaying (phone)-!-(computer). I successfully flashed the .pit, kernel and rom, but now I get a screen that displays
u for format and reboot actions (in red)
Media files copy failed. (in yellow)
# Manual Mode#
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Successfully applied multi-CSC.(in yellow)
E:Failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory) (in red)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log (in red)
E:copy_kernel_file :: Can't open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log (in red)
And then the last 3 lines repeat twice.
The device will not shut down, either. It goes into a boot loop. Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks
edit: I got it! The home button works as enter. The OS is 2.3.5 instead if 2.3.7 but that's okay for now. I'm sure I'll try flashing a ROM soon. Any good ones?

i'd keep with a GB rom if you want the camera and hotspot to work i'm using Cosmos 0.3. if you want JB get the cyanogenmod 10.2 with the sultan kernel thats what i switched from.
Intermittent Wifi
This Stock ROM saved my device but the wifi is intermittent. I do need the camera, as well. GB is fine but I was hoping for 2.3.6 or later. Really, I don't care as long as camera and wifi works. Also, can I change from SuperUser to SuperSU or will that mess things up?

i would recommend using SuperSU its just my personal preference.
Thanks. How do I go about replacing Superuser? I flashed a ROM from Eryigit and Superuser is now a system app.

Install SuperSu from the Zip and it will do it for you.
There is no such file in the zip.

Hey guys, I got a Galaxy Ace from my friend (he got a new phone and this one wasn't working, so he gave it to me), and now I'm trying to fix it. But seems like this little guy will be hard to fix.
You turn it up, the logo screen show up and the boot animation starts. Shortly after, the animation will hang and will start over. I've tried booting it in recovery mode and wiping data/cache, but I get two messages when I reboot:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:copy_log_files_to_data :: can't mount /dataRebooting
Any idea about how should I try fixing it?
Edit: recorded a small video, so you can have a general idea of it:

Downloaded the ROM from SamMobile and tried to flash. Odin aborts the installation few seconds after starting :s

My sister's phone had the same problem. I had used Odin successfully for my phone before, using this guide. But the same did not work for my sister's phone.
She had never rooted her phone or tweaked it in any way but suddenly one day it started bootlooping. I tried MANY guides, wiped everything, and tried a custom ROM but /data wouldn't mount. Even Odin aborted installation. I left it as a lost cause for 2 months.
Today I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Kies, installed the USB drivers and tried this guide, and used "Open Austrailia". I used Odin with pit. Somehow it worked!
Re-partition was ticked and I used the bootloader as well. Just follow the video, even if it's not your country's firmware.

I've tried your suggestion, and it worked perfectly!
After flashing the Open Australia firmware, I've download the brazilian one, repacked and flashed. Now it's all back to the normal!
Thank you very much

Boot loop
My GT-S5830i is stuck in the boot loop.
When booted into Android system recovery, it fails to wipe data/factory reset with
E:format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/stI11
It won't boot into download mode.
Can it be fixed with an update via sdcard ?
Failing that, does anybody want it for spares !!!

Hi guys, I really hope u can help me, cause i admit i did my share of research and got no solution
My N8010 was using GNABO 6.5 and Boeffla Kernel. While using it the other morning, the tablet suddenly rebooted and got stuck on the Galaxy Note screen. It stays on it a few seconds then reboot to the same screen in a loop.
I can access the recovery menu (CWM 6.0.3.6 ) but my options there are pretty limited, cant wipe and cant install zip files. At the botton of the recovery i have the following logs:
Warning: no file_contexts
E: Can´t open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can´t open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can´t open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can´t open /cache/recovery/last_log
I read somewhere that the problem should be solved if i could install a new recovery through Fastboot. Problem is fastboot cant find my device when on bootloader (but i can find it through ADB).
Using ADB sideload to install new recovery or new ROM gave me error on CWM.
Please, save my Tabye.

Samsung devices don't support fastboot instead they have something called download mode, which you can entered powering off the device and then pressing Volume Down button + Power Button simultaneously, after a couple seconds you'll see a warning screen at the warning screen press Volume Up and the device will be in download mode. Then you can use Odin to flash a new recovery, I would recommend checking out this guide on how to flash a recovery with Odin, and this thread for a recovery you could flash for your device model. Let me know if you still have questions.

Hey Shimp, thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately I tried to flash both TWRP and Philz Touch and, besides going everything ok with odin, the recovery did not change. It is still CWM 6.0.3.6
any other advice?

Did you rename the recovery image to recovery.img before your .tar it and then flashed it via Odin?

Usually that will work however I have ran into times where I had to make sure the recovery image was named recovery.img and then tar'ed that recovery myself and then flashed it through Odin.

Another thing you could try is just flashing the stock recovery through Odin, and then flashing the new recovery you want over that in Odin.

Did you use the correct firmware? Did it pass successfully in Odin? Did you perform a factory reset after using Odin to install the original firmware?

Used correct firmware. It did pass successfully through odin. Factory reset seems broken.
I will try the stock recovery.
No success with stock recovery.
So... No way to fix at all?

To clarify even after flashing the full stock firmware, then flashing another recovery your still stuck on the recovery you were trying to replace correct?

Put tar md5 file on AP/PDA, leave F Reset Time and Auto Reboot checked.
UPDATE:
I sent the tablet to a local technician and hes gonna charge me U$150 to make a repair on the board and restore the system. Does it make sense to you guys? Should i accept the service?
