Hi All,
i think i just softbricked my S3. i was running Omega rom 33.2 and found the phone was unstable. Hence i wiped data, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and etc. after flashing the rom, it got stucked at samsung boot screen.
i even tried to reflash the rom but still failed to boot up. after that i decided to flash stock rom using Odin (I9300ZSDLK2). it managed to boot in but then it got stucked at recovery (failed to mount /system (Invalid argument). i thought it could be something wrong with the /system, i then flash CWM to format /system. obvious i wont be asking for help if that step succeeded. i basically got pawned because i am not able to mount /system. anybody can help me?

Choose pit file and tick repartition
The problem is now solved. I flashed custom rom with Odin and wiped data with stock recovery then rebooted.
Thanx for the advance though
So i was playing around with different roms yesterday (tried cm7/9/11) and i must have messed up something when flashing cm11 nightly. After i was unable to flash any rom with any recovery (flashed ok, but then stopped at samsung logo) i tried odin with stock firmware found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822109
Odin flash went ok but immediatly when phone rebotted, i got errors on /data (fail to mount /data invalid argument) . Now stock rom bootloops and if i flash anything custom, i get stuck on samsung logo.
Also if i try to format /data from stock recovery, i get "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11)
Any ideas what to do ? It seems that /data partrition is somehow messed up or something..
Hello,
I'm trying to flash an old Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i with Cyanogenmod. Installing a new Recovery (CWM, tried several versions for the S5830i) works as expected. But unfortunately I'm unable to access (mount, format) the /system partition from any of those CWM recoveries.
If I go to 'mounts and storage' and try to 'mount /system', CWM says:
Code:
Error mounting /system!
If I try to 'format /system', it says:
Code:
Formatting /system...
E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/stl9
Error formatting /system!
I searched this forum and the web for answers, but so far were unable to find a sufficient one. Is this a known problem?
I tried to flash CM 9.1 unofficial port from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118645 nevertheless. The installation seems to succeed (no obvious error messages), but afterwards the phone hangs at the 'Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i' splash screen in boot process forever. I guess that this is related to the unaccessable /system partition, right? If the partition is not accessible, then flashing the new ROM must have failed to write data to it as well.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Seems like the phone was bricked. I managed to fix it by flashing the stock ROM using Odin. Afterwards flashing CM 9.1 worked like a charm.
Hey guys, yesterday I was trying to install cm11 on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo but it didn't work so I just decided to flash the stock ROM back through Odin but when it finished and it turned on, it got stuck in the Samsung logo... I tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset and none of it works... I also tried flashing TWRP and wiping through there and that didn't work either. It said "E: can't mount /cache" and "E: can't mount /efs". Same happened when I tried to restore a backup. I have tried flashing the stock ROM again and again and still no luck. I suspect that this might have happened because yesterday I tried to install cm11 and get TWRP to work too much times... Please help me guys... :crying::fingers-crossed:
