[Q] Error mounting efs and cant connect the Phone to pc - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I have a Galaxy SIII with a cyanogenmod rom installed. Today when I tried to boot my phone it stayed on the Samsung logo screen.
When I entered the recovery mode I tried to mount the efs but it wouldn't work. So i tried factory reset and all that but it still wouldn' work.
I tried connecting it to my pc but windows can't recognize the phone. I tried reinstalling the drivers but that doesn't work either.
I even tried using adb but it wont recognize my phone.
I think i tried almost everything. I really need help
Thankss

Boot into download mode and try to connect, if okay then flash a full stock firmware.
If it still won't connect then probably the emmc chip is blown, new motherboard required.

Soft Bricked Tab with CWM 5.5.04

Hi all,
Need your advice on a semi-bricked tab.
I tried flashing CM10 on it with CWM 5.5.04 and it is stucked at the loading screen.
I am able to enter CWM now and also the download mode.
However, there isn't any firmware in the tablet and I have no idea on how to mount my external SD card using CWM.
I've tried ODIN but the PC is unable to detect the tablet in download mode.
Please advice...
(PS. it belongs to a pal. So kindly advice as I would love to return the tablet to him in working condition)
You prob already tried this but change the usb port try one round the back of pc . Also try installing odin with Samsung drivers etc .

Hi gordonx10i, sadly that didn't work.
Managed to resovle the issue by doing a couple of factory reset and worked well.
However, on both of my PC (XP and Win7), they now have a 'USB Device Not Recognized' message everytime I plug the tablet in.
Tried:
1. uninstall + reinstall Kies
2. uninstall and reinstall samsung driver
But to no avail. Unless I can resolve this, else odin will not work..

[Q] Device not recognized in KIES or ODIN

I bought a refurbished galaxy s2 and in the start everything went fine until i flashed CM 10.1
After that rom the pc was unable to detect phone via usb.
So then i did a factory reset from the rom and not from CWM and after that the phone is stuck at the boot logo i.e. samsung galaxy s2 i9100 and a yellow triangle and would not go further. And when it is powered off and i connect it to charger a battery appears with circular loading sign and it wont go past after that.
The phone does not go in recovery mode. just gets stuck at the logo with triangle(yellow).
I turned phone on in download mode and connected to pc but it was not detected by odin or even pc.
I have all the drivers correctly installed.
Things I have tried:
1. Changed the USB cables, tried 5 different computers but still no luck.
2. Removed the drivers completely and reinstalled but still no luck.
3. Cleaned the USB port of phone but no luck.
4. Tried connecting to different ports of pc but still no luck.
Now I cannot go to service center because it has no warranty and it was refurbished so.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.
I am willing to repair it myself if anyone could guide me about the hardware problem.
I also have a Nexus S which is connecting to every single PC easily and in every port of PC but S2 just wont.
did you try accessing CWM Recovery mode?
Nope the phone does not boot in recovery mode
Piti ful bump

The guide is for odin fail flashing but my device is not even recognizing I am unable to flash via odin if it does not recognize my phone .
I have given the phone to samsung service center and they said they would call in a week. I do not have warranty so i hope the cost of repair is within my range
It's about troubleshooting, kinda what you're going thru.

Section has been added to guide's OP (linked above by gaston) of steps to try if Odin won't even recognise the phone.

[Q] adb bootloop fix help

i was trying to flash a different rom onto my tab and it got stuck in bootloop. I tried to boot into recovery mode and it just says downloading forever. I originally used goo manager and I don't think it is supported anymore, not sure if that caused it. I was trying to fix it with adb by connecting it to my laptop, but it wont recognize my device and I cant get into it to change any settings. fixable? thanks
update: I got it connected to adb. how do I reset it? while saving or backing up data, if possible

HELP Flash gone back

Hello
I have the US Wifi Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019
I tried to do a flash and something went wrong. Odin froze and when I went to cancel the download, it booted back up with
An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function
in the Smart Switch PC software.
I tried using the emergency recovery but it wont recognize the device. I reinstalled
the USB drivers but no go. Only one time it worked it said the device was unrecognized.
Am I screwed?
