When I turn on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i, it gets stuck at "Samsung GALAXY Ace GT-S5830i" intro logo, whatever. It won't load, it can just stay like that until the battery goes off.
I'm able to start the Recovery Mode luckily using "Home Button + Volume up + Power Button", but it shows this code:
Code:
-- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system (Inval

Tried to format /system, doesn't work, neither with ClockworkMod Recovery (every possible versions), it shows this:
Code:

Done.
Also, I tried with Odin3 v1.84/v1.87, and still it won't work. I applied all good, but when I connect my phone to my computer using the USB cable, and it shows it normally, but when I "Start" the process, it read everything valid and it gets stuck at:

So I'm asking for help. Is there any possibility to repair my phone MYSELF? Is there a way to successfully format and mount /system? What should I do? If there are ways to solve this problem, and by that I need to download needed files, please send the link!
Please response ASAP!
Thank you!

My S3 remains in Logo Screen. So i tried in recovery mode the option "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partitions". After reboot, the phone still hangs on Logo screen. In recovery mode i see this errors:
e:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
e:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
so i tried to flash the phone with odin. I am from switzerland and took 1-part firmware AUT-I9300XXEMB1. The phone is recognized by ODIN. The drivers are also installed. Choose "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time". But i get this:

I also tried with a 3-part firmware with a pit file and option "Re-Partition". Same Problem. Breaks after "Get PIT for mapping". The phone has never been rootet and the usb is not in debug-mode.
Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong? Thanks a lot.
Reads to me as you have damaged the partition .
a pit file and option "Re-Partition">>> why on earth you did that as its the quickest way to brick
By the looks of it
His nand was already dead before he did it ...
Turn it to service center
Sent From My Galaxy S III Using XDA Premium 4
So there is no possibility to fix? only service? i have no warranty.
i also tought that the problem is the partition, so i chose the option "Re-Partition" with a pit file (i read pit file is nessecary for Re-Partition).
i never tried to flash the phone. The Loop on Samsung Logo starts after a update made by phone.
Ask Samsung if it is covered under the 24 months warranty .
Do not mention that you have played about with PIT .
the errors in recover mode
e:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
e:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
have been shown before i played around with the pit.
Is it possible that the partition have been demaged during the update process made by the phone?
As said in post
>>>
By the looks of it
His nand was already dead before he did it ...<<<
If it was not already dead then you killed it .,
i think odin never starts writting anything on the device.
when i go in downloading mode i see:
custom binary download : no
current binary: Samsung official
system status : official
so everthing is official.
it always stoped at
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
and didnt start writting.
i checked now warranty status and i have still warranty .....
its not my phone, and the owner told me there was no warranty.
So i loose 4 hours of my life trying to flash
Its possible the previous owner voided warranty. Worth sending in though. Previous owner may just be wrong

I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 US Model YP-G70. I flashed to a newer version of CWM touch recovery 6.0.4.4. Upon completing the flash the screen confirmed that the flash was successful. I then rebooted my Samsung Galaxy Player. Then it entered the boot loop mode being me to the samsung logo and straight into the CWM Recovery and it displayed this error
"
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 then tried to to wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache none of that worked for me I got the same error as before that popped up on my screen, even after I rebooted the device I still get the error message.
So I did a data/factory reset. It didn't work and I got the error "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" It doesn't let me restore my nandroid backup or let me update using files/zip from my internal sd card but my external sd card work.
I used odin two times (each time using the same files) and flashed the stock rom, the stock kernel, and the stock pit file and it doesn't successfully completed the task.
This is the message I received

I believe my internal sd card can't be mounted or isn't mounted? Or my CWM recovery is corrupted resulting in this consist reboot taking me back into recovery each time with this error. Can anyone brings together ideas or advice on how to fix this problem? (Device can't be powered off completely by power off option on cwm recovery or by manually pressing the power off button located on the top right hand side of the device., my device will power off for a second and turn back on by itself and reboot me back into the loop which takes to back into CWM recovery menu with the error listed above. Also the download mode screen is off by a couple of inches meaning it's kinda misplaced on the screen) Any Fixes / Update / Patches / Recovery / Mods to solve this error?
I'm trying to figure out how to get cwm on to my 5.0 could you link to any threads?

Hi there guys...I've stumbled onto a problem that I can't fix myself, hence some of your help/expertise is required.
Here's what has happened sofar...
Yesterday a family member of mine lost her phone and asked me for my old SGS3 which was lying around the house.
So after factory resetting the device I gave the phone to her...but then the device got an OTA update...but after update, when the device went to reboot itself, the droid laid dead with a red triangle.
Note: the device was not rooted and was running Touchwiz etc...
Upon reboot, the device got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SIII - GT-I9300 logo
Then she brought the device back to me and after some searching the web, it seemed that the diagnosis was that the software/firmware may have gotten corrupted.
I followed the TUT (link: here) using ODIN 3.10 , I flashed the International version of 4.3 on my device.
I got the I9300XXUGNJ2_I9300MSTGNJ1_MST file from Sammobile and it worked like a charm...all is well, so I thought.
Today when she turned the phone on in the morning, (she turns it off at night)...the device got stuck at the same place.
But now, even the TUT with ODIN isn't helping...now the whole thing is stuck at SetupConnection.
I have tried the cable, updating the samsung usb drivers, switching the USB ports (not using any USB hub),
making sure that I run the program in admin mode and that there's no ext card connected to the device...but to no avail.
When I hard reset the device I get the following error while the droid lays dead
Code:
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
...etc...
Wiping the data/factory reset etc isn't helping either...as it still gives me similar E: failed error.
Rebooting the system gets me back to the stuck Samsung Galaxy SIII - GT-I9300 logo.
Plugging the device with the USB cable to the computer doesn't get me to the ext sd card etc either.
Any ideas?? Help is greatly appreciated.
*UPDATE*
After persisting to follow the TUT mentioned above, finally it went through ODIN and was shown as "PASS"
But when the device reboots after that, the "E: failed to mount error" persists...and I'm back to square one.

Sounds like partitions maybe corrupt try the resuce firmware here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << follow instructions exactly as it containes a pit file there are two versions and i think the pit file is in the 4.1.2 version.If this does not work then i think it would probably be a service repair.

Emmc chip is corrupt/damaged. Try reading the dead boot restore thread in general forum, but doubtful if worth repairing.
^^above, I was using the 4.1.2 firmware which I got from the thread that @tallman43 mentioned.
But as you can see I got the errors shown above.
Then I tried the same using the 4.3 firmware also from that thread but it had no *.pit file.
In that thread on page 41 though, @k-semler added the *.pit file that he used.
But that resulted in ODIN getting stuck at the .pit thing.
After renaming that *.pit file to mx.pit it worked...

E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory) etc...list goes on...
I got some suggestions trying installing Philz Touch Recovery...
So here's what I did...
1. I flashed Philz Touch Recovery using ODIN
It was a pass...and I was able to boot into Philz Recovery.
2. Then I tried installing a Custom ROM (PA) through SD Card.
At first I was getting an error, after checking it seemed that I couldn't access the SD Card.
Then I got myself a new SD card, formatted it to fat32 and transferred the zip files onto it.
3. Installing the Custom ROM (PA)
At first I was getting a Status 7 error.
After editing the updater-script as shown on xda forums..the error went away.
BUT now the installation just aborts and I get the following on my screen.
Code:
Installing: /storage/sdcard1/pa_i9300-4,41-20140705.zip
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: failed to open last_install: File exists
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
press any key to continue.
Note: I also tried with different ROMs (CM11) but same result as above.
Why can't it mount the /cache folder? Could it be a chmod issue??
The error in full from my first post is the following...
Code:
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
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
If it's corrupted then why is it listing only that folder and not other folders as well?
Help is really needed and is greatly appreciated guys/gals.
[SOLVED]
I finally got it working...my issue has been resolved.
For those who are interested, this is how I fixed the problem.
I went and got myself:
- stock *.pit file for the SGS3 GT-I9300 16GB variant.
- stock bootloader for SGS3 GT-I9300
- stock Firmware from my Region (Single File variant)
Step 1
Flash the stock *.pit file using ODIN with the following settings ticked on:
- auto reboot
- re-partition
- f.reset time
- Nand erase all
Note: IF for some reason it doesn't work, re-try and it should pass (I myself had to try 3 times).
Step 2
Flash Philz Touch Recovery using ODIN with the following settings ticked on:
- auto reboot
- f.reset time
Note: IF for some reason it doesn't work, re-try and it should pass.
Step 3
Take a Mirco SD card (format if needed, make sure you format it in fat32). Transfer the stock bootloader zip (no need to extract the .zip file) on it and insert the card in your phone.
Step 4
Press Vol.Up+Power+Menu button and keep pressing it until you see the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 logo, then release the buttons and the Philz Recovery will boot.
Install the bootloader zip using the "Install from sdcard" option in Philz Touch Recovery.
Step 5
Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and factory reset.
Go to download screen (ODIN MODE).
Step 6
Flash the stock firmware using ODIN with only the following settings ticked on:
- auto reboot
-f.reset time
Note: IF for some reason it doesn't work, re-try and it should pass (I myself had to try 2 times).
Step 7
If all of this is done...then go to Recovery mode (you'll notice that it's no longer the Philz Touch Recovery. No problem, in the current Recovery mode:
- wipe cache
- factory reset
and reboot the device.
This should resolve the problem and your device will work once again.
No cellular due to wrong/fake imei
^^The above did fix my previous problem but I did encounter a new one.
I had a wrong/fake IMEI ("0049..."), which caused that I had no cell reception and couldn't use the phone to call or send/receive sms etc...
I googled a lot and I tried some of the TUT on the web, but nothing helped.
Until I found a thread on the xda that said one could try to flash a newer stock ROM (don't know the exact thread).
So I went ahead and checked the version I was on...luckily it was 4.0.4
I then downloaded a newer stock ROM 4.3 for my region.
And flashed that using ODIN...
and voila...when I checked the IMEI code again, it was back to the original one.
Files that I used to resolve my issues.
I've been asked which .pit file or which ROM etc...did I use to resolve my problem.
So here it is...but do keep in mind, these files may have worked for me but I can't guarantee that they'll work for you too.
Note: therefor use these at your own risk...I'm not responsible for any problems that you may encounter.
Philz Touch Recovery:
I got the "philz_touch_6.12.8-i9300.tar.md5" file from: here
Stock ROM:
I got the stock ROM (single file) "I9300XXUGNJ2_I9300PHNGNJ1_PHN.zip" from: here
That's the: GT-I9300 Netherlands 2014 November 4.3 I9300XXUGNJ2 I9300PHNGNJ1
The stock *.pit file and the stock bootloader that I used, are attached to this post.
The exact steps that I took are in this post: here
Note: Don't forget to backup your EFS, search on xda for how to do that etc...
Best of luck...

Hi,
I have a serious issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8, 64 GB, dual sim. My phone has stock android, never rooted, never modified in any way. I run it in Australia but got it from overseas. After a system update (sometime in December) my phone rebooted (precisely on 29/12/2019), and after the reboot it got stuck at the android logo. Typical boot loop issue, so far so good.
Immediately after, I managed to boot into recovery mode with the intention to wipe the cache partition or do a factory reset, but neither functions worked. In fact, not a single function in recovery mode works. I can scroll up and down and select any option, but without actually executing the functions. And on top of that, after a few seconds the recovery mode freezes and I can't do anything but restart.
The only useful info in recovery mode is the following (on the top part of the screen):
"Android Recovery
Samsung/dreamltexx/dreamlte
/PPR1.180610.011/G950FXXU6DSK9" (please note that "G950FXXU6DSK9" is what it says there now, after flashing this particular firmware - see below. But the error messages were the same even before flashing).
and below, in the output part of the screen:
"fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
Reboot recovery cause is [UNKNOWN]
Support SINGLE-SKU
File-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
E: unknown volume for path [/odm]
E: unknown volume for path [/vendor]
verity verification failed...
E: [libfs_mgr]is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid : '/proc/device-tree
/firmware/android/compatible : no such file or directory"
When I attempt a factory reset (or any other function in the recovery menu), I get the following error message:
"wiping data...
formatting /data...
formatting /cache...
data wipe complete.
E: [libfs_mgr]is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid : '/proc/device-tree
/firmware/android/compatible : no such file or directory"
Apparently the firmware "G950FXXU6DSK9" doesn't work. So I got myself Odin (Odin3_v3.13.1) to flash a working firmware but cannot, for the life of me, figure out the right firmware - mostly because I don't know the right PDA and CSC.
In any case, here is the Odin log:

Here is what I know:
- Model of my phone, as seen on the back of the phone case (SM-G950FD)
- region of my phone, as seen in the download mode (XSG - United Arab Emirates).
- my IMEI, as seen on the back of the phone case
- my phone serial number, as seen on the back of the phone case
- Chipset: Samsung Exynos 9 Octa 8895, obtained via IMEI.info
- OS: Android 7.0 Nougat, Android 8.0 Oreo, obtained via IMEI.info
- I can enter the download mode
- I can enter the recovery mode, but not do anything
Here is what I don't know:
- my exact PDA
- my CSC
- and therefore, my exact firmware
Here is what I have tried, unsuccessfully:
- used the most current version of Kies; however my device is not supported.
- used the most current version of Frija (v1.4.2); however I got "error 102. unable to find firmware"
- downloaded and successfully flashed 3 different firmware versions, obtained from sammobile.com. these 3 versions are:
G950FXXS6DSL2_G950FOXM6DSK9_BTU
G950FXXU6DSK9_G950FOXM6DSK9_BRI
G950FXXU6DSK9_G950FOXM6DSK9_SMA
I have flashed AP, BL, CP, and CSC. I did not flash HOME_CSC. Then I tried also with HOME_CSC, but no difference.
however after successful flashing, the outcome in recovery mode was unchanged. I still couldn't use any of the recovery mode functions, and I still got the exact same error messages.
I also tried flashing G950FXXS5DSI1_G950FOXM5DSHC_XSG, which at least had the correct country code (XSG), but this one I couldn't flash using Odin, so I went back to a previous one (G950FXXU6DSK9)
Does anyone have any idea what my error messages mean, and how to overcome them? Can anyone tell me the exact firmware I have to use to get this to work again?
help
any ideas?
