Hi guys & girls, ive been searching through the threads on here and trying some of the fixes but havent had any joy yet .. maybe somebody can help me?
Basically, i had a rooted s3 running the CWM and it was fine until last night .. it ran out of battery, charged it up without turning it on and tried to turn it on this morning and it just got stuck on the "SAMSUNG GALAXY SIII" opening screen ... Tried turning it on and off a few times by taking out the battery but just kept getting stuck .. so went into recovery and tried clearing the cashes etc but still no joy ..
.. so tried flashing a few roms/flashing cwm again via odin/clearing cashes/flashing standard rom .. NOTHING!
I can still get into download and recovery but now everytime i go into CWM Recovery it keeps asking to root the device .. then gets stuck on the home screen!? Its driving me mad!! :silly::crying: Please help!
Im now also getting this on CWM .. "E:cant mount/ sdcard /" ,,, Dead?
Right ... Reflashed the stock rom via odin once more and it worked .. ish .. I now get past the first screen but just keeps looping the samsung screen?? Im guessing this is a bootloop?
All questions belong to q&a section. Anyway, try wiping cache and data in cwm recovery menu.

Sorry i was in a rush and was doing a google search ...
Ive managed to get it working using cyangenmod .. but lost the iemi number ... now im screwed?
There should however be a way out, use uncle Google again, I assure you'll find the solution. Take your time and search thoroughly, goodluck
If you flashed or were using MG4 baseband then your efs path changed. Try flashing this
http://d-h.st/DI1 in CWM to try getting your imei working. For more information about IMEI and efs look up in rootsu sticky in general section.

thanku.
I was having this problem the other day when flashing Nero v1. Wanted to Odin back to stock before flashing it, and it stuck on cache.rfs no matter how many times I retried. Had the lovely phone ! computer icon and a phone that wouldn't boot.
Ended up fixing it by accidentally running Odin without any PIT or TAR file selected, and it cleared the error and caused the phone to boot back into Eclair. Flashed Nero on top of that and ended up getting... a really slow, messed up phone, so I flashed Bionix again and nandroided back to my backups.
Going to stay this way until I can figure out how to properly Odin without always getting stuck on cache.rfs! Anyone help us out? Flashing Nero on top of Bionix gets me a very unstable phone!

really why? I odin with the sim and sd card in always, I haven't had an issue.
Is pulling the sim and sd exclusive the above mentioned problem(i.e only when you see phone to computer)?
Odin can be tempramental at points and cunfuse external.sd with internal witch causes it to stop at the cache

This was happening to me when I was using odin 1.0 - switched to 1.3 and haven't had any problems since. So try using a different version of odin.

hello,
Im new here
I've been upgrading to ICS from the official update which is N7000DXLP9-----------------------2012 May-----------N7000OLBLP6-----------Indonesia from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
it works great, until I see some red frame around and tried to fix it by going to buildprop and editing the buildtype from dev to user (what I found on the internet), but then I found out that mine is already user so I tried changed it to dev and when I restart, the phone stuck on samsung logo,but I am still able to go to recovery mode,the problem is I cant get odin to flash any rom to my note, it always stuck at factoryfs.img. then I installed abys kernell to wipe my factory reset, cache, dalvik, then I started to flash with odin again, with the patched pit file I got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886, and the official update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, suddenly it works, and I tried to restore data from CWM ( stupid me)....turns out it got back again on the logo samsung and stuck there and so i tried flashing again and it started to stuck around factoryfs everytime, I tried to use abyss but this time after I wiped everything and used the patched pit file like before, it still stuck, so I found a post from the internet, it was custom ICS, i forgot where i got it but i have the file if you'd like to know, and so i tried, then it leaves me with my counter started to count 1 and still stuck at factoryfs....and I cant even go to recovery mode now, I have tried USB JIG and I succeeded to turn the counter back to zero but still stuck at factoryfs.img and still cant go to recovery mode even through bootloader,..... please help! i love my gnote

Hi Bro m stck at the same position as u so can u please tell me how did u get this fixed ?
Honestly it is all very confusing. Best to stick to a reputable source for flashing and troubleshooting.
There are dangerous guides on the internet not updated to circumnavigate later discovered brick.

I've rooted and flashed many times before.
Recently got phone back from repair after SDS and wanted to put Omega 38 on it.
Rooted it fine no problem using Odin... but have read things about CWM recovery possibly still having the problem, so thought (as I'd seen on here) that I needed philz's CWM. Don't know what I've done but now my phone appears "stuck" again.
It gets no further than the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy Siii logo. Even if I pull the battery still nowt other than that.
I can get the phone recognised in odin, and I can also get into (I think) philz's recovery by volume up+menu+power. I've done a factory wipe and reset but when the phone starts it still stops on the logo page.
Previously, I got stock CWM (that was provided when I rooted with odin and CF-Root-SG3-v6.4) and it mentioned something about not being able to mount sd card and something about android secure. On another thread it mentions something like this with the S2 which required a odin stock tar flash.
Help me sort this problem - already been down with SDS and losing the will to live now! I just want a safe Omega38 and a safe recovery, as it wouldn't look good sending the phone back with SDS again with the same IMEI/Serial number!
did you try to put it Download mode and flash it again with Odin stock firmware 4.1.2... !!
if they change for you interal sd at your first service then you will be okay.
Have you tried a full stock flash with odin? (Not Omega or other custom rom)
I always use a full stock flash with btu csc so I keep my product code. Perka has a flash with LLA and no bootloader.
At the moment I use LLA and an older JB bootloader.
So to recap, flash a full stock firmware. If it does not boot you will then have to reflash Philz recovery again. Use volume up home and power to reboot the phone and goto recovery. Do a factory reset and reboot the phone.
You should then have a fully clean stock flash.
Or you could boot to CWM recovery and format data, system and cache. Then reboot to download mode and flash you stock rom.
If all is ok then flash Omega.
Short of that maybe its gone all Pete Tong and possibly send it back.

Thanks guys
I went away, had a brew and thought about stuff a little.
Managed to flash omega by getting it onto my sdcard. Then did a wipe of everything, and installed omega v38
Seems to be up and running now. I'm assuming that I should remove any links to CWM in my phone menu, and if need download mode in future, just use Volume Up, Menu and Power?

Hello. Please come forward to help me.
My galaxy s3 GT-I9300 was rooted and i had sotmax v14 running on it. I tried using swapper 2 but it failed. But the phone was fine for two days but one day it fell down from a table and rebooted. Since then it was stuck on the galaxy s3 logo. I had access to download mode and recovery mode. I flashed it with customs ROMs through CWM recovery but no use. Again I flashed it with ROMs from Sammobile.com and did all the wipes and resets but still it was stuck on the logo. On the stock recovery it showed "error mounting efs invalid arguement)" and when i clicked on the internal sdcard option it was blank. When i tried to mount it it stated "cant mount sdcard". Then on reading a few threads from "xda-developers" i connected the phone to my PC and put some codings on the ADB. Now it states "cant mount efsfile too large)". I took it to the service center but he said that the IMEI number is lost and the mother board has to be replaced. It costs around 10,000 INR (200$). I thought may be something else could be done to save my phone before I spend that money. Kindly help me, I would certainly donate .
