I Had an update zip for rooting JB 4.1.2 ( GT I9100)
i used it on ics 4.0.4 and afterwards i havnt been able to format the data
i cant write the data partition in anyway either odin or cwm
i flashed siyah kernel and am currently using a secondary rom while the primary rom still doesnt work
any solution?
You flash something for ICS on jb ? So you can't flash a ROM on 1st ROM? Can you factory reset on 1st?
i know something about this
there is a firmware bug in galaxy s2's (and other samsung phones) data chip that causes the /data partition to become unreadable and unwritable because its most important sectors get zeroed out if the wipe data/factory reset option in CWM recovery is used, and sometimes even just randomly if kernel is exposed to that bug
if you used that option when flashing and your rom doesn't even boot up anymore, it means that your phone is hard bricked, no way to recover
SEARCH FOR MORE DETAILS ANYWAY, this is just what your situation reminds me of
solved it myself bro

So my Galaxy S II I9100M was updating, and I, unknowingly wiped data/factory reset'd my phone with the Siyah 3.1.1 kernel (which I now know has problems)
So this turned bad, because it got stuck there for a long time. No problem, this happens sometimes? No.
I reset the phone, try to re-install the Resurrection ROM but my emmc will no longer show up. Factory reset is a nogo again, but I have another rom on my extsd, which does install, but doesn't boot.
I go into odin, download mode etc, flash xxlph onto the phone, but here's the kicker:
the odin flash gets stuck at data.img
yadayadayada lots of different rom flashes later, none go past data.img
I can flash kernels, get into recovery mode with non-stock kernels, and get into download mode, but the /data partition doesn't format. I even tried a specific kernel for recovery, rogue recovery, and that can't format it either.
Neither can it find the cache partition for logs.
formatting the /data from mounts and storage gives the error "format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p10"
I saw somewhere (galaxy player 5 forums) that one can use adb to reset the partition sizes, but I have no table either. But I could find one. But I still don't know how to.
Anyone have any ideas and/or alternatives?
Love you all

From the sound of it the only way to recover from this is with a JTAG, any other info about it is likely in that thread.
Thank you very much. Thread can be closed
So I bought my new galaxy s2 (i9100 int'l version) and i flashed a stock rom that matches my carrier and country (israel) and then i rooted it
by using CF-Root kernel, now i have it for over a month and i flashed many roms with success and then when i tried to flash cm 7 from stock i got into an endless bootloop.
now if you need to know how i flashed it so here you go:
flash stock rom (2.3.5) with ODIN
flash CF-Root kernel that matches my rom (KJ1)
move the official cm 7 (cm-7.2.0-galaxys2.zip) install file onto my internal memory
reboot into cwm recovery with 3 button combo
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe delvik cache
install zip from internal SD TWICE just to be sure
and then when i reboot with the "reboot device" option i get stuck on the galaxy sii screen
note: after i flashed the zip twice i also tried to reboot straight into cwm from the advanced tab and it still got stuck in the bootloop.
also when im in the bootloop i cant get into cwm with 3 button combo but i can get into download mode and i have been reading that when a thing like this happens it means its a NAND rw corruption
so does it mean i can never acomplish successfull installation of cm 7 on my device?
If you would have corrupted nand rw, you couldn't flash stock firmware with success.
Why don't you try CM9/10?

can the problem be envolved with that fact that im flashing the rom from the internal sd card?
cause i saw some videos that people were installing cm 7 onto thier devices from the external sd and it worked for them.

Are you sure you have I9100 or do you have I9100G? Try flashing CM9 or CM10 and report if you face similar issues.

Hey guys its been since my first epic 1 that I been here..what I have is an unrooted s3 I updated it and it worked fine but the next day it wont boot past the big s....I was wondering if anyway to undo the update? I dont want to wipe and flash because all my pics and music and some important files that mever made it to my sd card..any help or idea?
Boot to recovery and clear cache and dalvic, probably won't help though.
Next step is always to factory reset, you might get around this by installing custom recovery (Philz recovery is recommended), use that to format system, data etc. before installing your previous stock rom via .zip. That way your internal sd files will still be there and the phone will boot.
Follow guides in general, stickies.
Ok but it wont let me in recovery mode.I can get into the odin but thats it.can I dl cwm to it from the comp in odin mode? Or do I have to root it from there and see what it does?
from the odin mode flash stock rom as per your region. Also please note you will loose your data.
hello everybody
my phone doesn't boot anymore, there were lines on the screen and it shutted down automatically, when I tried to reboot, it was stucked on the googymax kernel bootlogo (latest 4.1.2 wanamlite). So I tried to flash the ROM again to fix the issue. The phone booted but there wasn't my data anymore. It seems to be hidden because I have only 1 gb free remaiming on the internal sd card... Then I tried to flash wanamlite 4.3 to know if my data appears but I coudn't see it neither. So I flashed back 4.1.2 and now my phone is stuck on the ROM bootlogo (the samsung one)
So what can I do to make my phone booting and find my data back ??? (eventually without doing a factory wipe, that would be cool)

The reason why you are in bootloop is because you flashed between roms without wiping!! now I know why you did that because you didn't want to lose your data right? I would flash a recovery via odin I recommend philz recovery then backup your data or use the aroma file explorer option in Philz recovery to copy files you need then wipe everything and flash a new rom. Also the reason your internal sd is full is explained here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274218 <<
i did a CWM wipe/data factory reset then flashed echoes and the modem and kernel
but i have only 2gb free out of 11gb (showing on my pc)
where is the rest?? what can i do?
p.s i flashed I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_BTU first but was getting "emergency calls only"
so i then wipe/factory reset in CWM and flashed S3 Echoe Rom v.5.2
i cant see any files that are taking up that much GB
is there a better rom i can upgrade too? or its on android 4.3

I would use Root Explorer to check whats happening inside ( lost space ) or adequate tool with root access to see hidden files and dirs.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
Basically can be used any better explorer with root access.
After seeing this I would do decission what to do next. ( Step by step )
About New ROM and Kernel I would be thinking after learning what happened inside my phone after flashing.

were you coming from an earlier Android version? if yes, read the guide in general section, it explains why, how to get back your space etc. as partition layout was changed. here you go, in the "Information" section.
