I was trying to install a new ROM and somehow something went wrong with mounting my data drive. I did a full odin recover and still nothing, just stuck at the Samsung slash screen. Any ideas?
? Odin doesn't do recovery, are you sure you know what you've done?
Best read the basics in general, stickies. Follow the guide to return to stock, ensure you factory reset before you flash.
Need a bit more info than that. What rom did you have before, what did you flash, how did you do it, does it go into recovery and if so, does it show any error message, how do you know it's the /data partition that's not getting mounted.
If its really the /data partition, you can try to go into recovery, get adb connected and mount that partition manually. In my S3 it's on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
I do believe odin does restore /data, if so, that's not your problem.
Doesn't do /efs though. I had a similliar problem once with the /esf partition. Had to manually format and copy it's files back. Only then my phone booted properly again.
I think you are both confused between odin and either kies or nandroid.
Odin will only write over whole partitions, it won't backup or restore anything unless you've created a flashable partition image. Make sure you know what you're doing as odin can be the fastest way to hard brick your phone.

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
Edit for anybody who finds this through searching: I fixed it by restoring to stock in Odin, flashing CWM then flashing a new rom. For some unknown reason it bootlooped after the ODIN restore, despite passing md5 checks and being for the correct device, but I could access recovery and used adb to push the files I needed across. Maybe the new rom fixed it, maybe restoring in ODIN did, I don't know!
Hi,
My wifi 8.9 galaxy tab won't complete nandroid backups. I have 3.3gb space (more than enough) and after successfully backing up the boot image, recovery and /system partitions, when it reaches /data it appears to freeze. Around 30s later it reboots to whatever state the device was in. If it was off and turned on to recovery it'll turn on, if I chose "reboot to recovery" from the advanced power menu it reboots to recovery.
I have wiped /cache and delvik cache but this didn't help. The backups created are around 200mb.
I've made nandroids previously with no problem. Updating didn't help (now at 6.0.0.8, I had 5.5.0.4). Current rom is AOKP-5.
Any ideas? I want to flash cm10 but until I get a good backup I don't want to proceed!
Thank you
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, P6200.
ROM: CM9.
Started with the device rebooting every time I tried to do nandroid backup when it got to backing up /data. I attempted to factory reset but then CWM (6.0.1.0) just hanged at formatting /data.
Then I attempted to do factory reset from the ROM (CM9). The device got stuck in a bootloop of trying to format /data and just hanging there. The device kept turning itself back on when turned off to go into this ridiculous loop.
Is my on-board sdcard fried or something? Anything I can do?
UPDATE: Fixed it, I hope. . . Ran f2sck from recovery on mmcblk0p10, needed three rounds before all the errors were gone. Then could successfully do factory reset and reinstall ROM. Restoring from backups now, hopefully nothing borks again,
try to get back to the stock rom via odin it will overwrite the data partition and of course the recovery image so ure back to 0 than and are able to continue what u wanted to do
Hi,
My battery ran flat on my I9100 International GS2 I plugged it in and turned it on, it started to boot and then shut down. I left it to charge to 100% and now when I turn on I get bootloop around the Samsung logo. I suspect it's corrupted my bootloader and/or device partitions.
I'm running Stock+Root XXLSJ with Philz CWM 3.00 recovery (based on CWM 6.0.1.5)
When I boot into CWM - I get message: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last.log"
When I try to mount /cache it fails with similar message. (I also cannot mount /data. The others are OK)
When I try to wipe cache partition it fails to format it (hangs for about 10 mins saying "formatting", and then reboots my phone)
When I try to factory reset it fails to format /data (hangs for about 10 mins saying "formatting", and then reboots my phone)
So I suspect my /data and /cache are corrupt and need to be recreated.
How can I recreate these partitions?
I thought reflashing CWM might stick them back if they are missing - I tried a couple of different versions. No luck. Same errors.
I thought I'd take the opportunity to upgrade to CM10.1 RC2 - But I can't flash ROM in CWM - it fails with "Installation aborted (Status 7)"
I think I need to flash via ODIN and click the "Re-Partition" option unfortunately CM ROMS can't be flashed in with ODIN! Arrrgh!
So I think I need to flash another stock ROM via ODIN with re-partition option, then flash CM via CWM. It's a bit of a pain, do you think this should work (is that what repartition option does) or is there some other easier/better way?
Thanks

As you've already tried dirty flashing (without wipe) your kernel (which rarely works, but worth a shot anyways), yeah, back to stock via Odin & restore backup or reflash rom/kernel & start again if you don't have recent backup.
Will this work ? It should. One bit of advice tho, I noticed you're planning to repartition.
Don't.
At least not in the first instance. Do a normal Odin flash of stock & see how that goes before you go down the repartition route. Doing that when not necessary seems to cause more bricked phones than every other cause put together.
My GT-I9300 failed to restart after the battery went flat and had to be recharged.
I have it rooted with CWM and had Foxhound running on it.
on boot I get to the Samsung Galaxy screen and it freezes.
CWM works fine and I can reinstall custom Roms and the AROMA installer runs fine with everything seeming to go well.
But it still freezes every time.
Tried reinstalling stock rom using Odin and it didnt work.
used Odin to install PIT and have tried the Restore_Bootloader_XXBLFB and again it didn't work. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367 )
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a solution?
Full wipe, including preload and internal sd before flashing. If efs partition is corrupt then it won't boot past loader.
More info
I have tried deleting everything and reinstalling it all but it still wont pass the boot screen.
CWM cannot mount /data /system or /preload
Try the rescue firmware, thread in general forum, otherwise the emmc is blown.
Given up on it now. Ive put it on ebay.
