Good Day.
I was trying to flash TWRP on my Samsung S5. Unfortunately, i bricked it due to wrong recovery. Had an ATT custom recovery issue
Tried flashing ROM, and i got stuck at Emergency firmware recovery issue, use kies to reload recovery and try again (something like that)... i tried flashing Kitkat stock ROM and the CP removed the error... but the phone hangs at samsung S5 logo screen.
Retrying to flash AP and CSC always give me E: failed to mount system, cache. ODIN always fails at cache for CSC flashing, the only flashable thing has been CP.
I can access stock recovery, but whenever i boot into recovery, it shows No command and below, i see
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
can't mount '/system (invalid argument)
I've searched for all ways to mount system or something, got nothing. I've wiped cache and factory/data reset.
Please i need help...I was previously on Android 5.0 ROM, awkwardly being a G900F ROM...

i had root with CASUAL on 4.1.2. Accidently installed and ran an app about cwm, so i pulled my battery out, it was bricked. until then i had TWRP recovery, so i wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache to odin stock roms. after that it would hang on "Samsung Galaxy Note 2". then i flashed alternative restore on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264 but it keeps on reboot.
Here is what i have.
ASR gives me E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) and on download mode i have odin mode, custom binary download: yes (1 counts), current binary: samsung official, system status: custom.
i tried flashing TWRP, but fails. any suggestions on what to flash? or any solutions?
Thanks!!
I have a Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 running CM 10.1 which was installed about a month back. Yesterday my phone suddenly crashed and after rebooting it got stuck in the boot animation (cyanogenmod logo). I tried wiping the cache and data but when the CM recovery (v4.0.0.5) starts formatting /data it gets stuck. It displays formatting /data... and its their for forever.
P.S I was experiencing frequent reboots and hangs after I flashed the new badass kernel!
What i tried to did:
1. Updated CWM to latest available version but the problem exists.
2. Tried to restore my backup of cm 10.1 rom but it stucks at 'Restoring Data'.
3. Installed stock rom via odin. When Odin says Close serial port and wait until rebooting, the phone automatically boots into stock recovery
and it says:
" Installing update...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'.
Formatting /cache...
-- Applying Muti-CSC --
Multi_CSC : there are common apks
Multi_CSC : comm_so
Can't access to '/system/csc/ATL/system'. "
Odin says PASS but the phone is still stuck at stock recovery.
4. Wiped cache succesfully via stock recovery but it stucks at wiping data/reset (formatting /data...)
5. I then installed back CWM via odin. CWM displays the following message:
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
Any help is surely appreciated.
Thanks.

the problem shoudl be with cm partitioning system, in my galaxy y i've installed cm7.2, it changes the format of the device partition, i guess it was "rfs" and it turned into "ext4", if this happened to your device it can be the problem
i will say some things but try one at once
if the problem was with me i would
try checking Re-partition at odin (be carefull, if you remove the usb or shut down your phone this can be the end)
try using "phone bootloader update" at odin (dangereous too)
try to use "phone efs clear" at odin (i dont know if this is dangereous)
try flashing stock kernel via cwm or odin (this one is)
if no one works re-flash cyanogenmod (but if the problems are partitions it wont work)

Hi everyone,
I've been trying quite a lot of things until now to fix my phone, but it seems that I can't get it right.
My phone (Galaxy S3 Gt-9300) was running on Cm-11 ..and i was playing Clash of Clans ...but suddenly during the game my phone got rebooted and i was stuck on Samsung GAlaxy S3 logo screen ..
I have tried to wipe data/ factory reset via the clokworkMod recovery .
But the /data cannot be mounted. So impossible to wipe them out.
I have tried to install new CM via odin but odin just not recognzing my phone in Download Mode....
I tried all combnations o USB cables and odin versions..
Here's the problem i'm trying to wipe data :
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
Formatting /sd-ext..
E: Unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/.android-secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android-secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
Here's the problem i'm getting while installing via CMS Based recovery v6.0.5.1 :
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:failed to open last_install : File Exist
Finding update package
opening update package
Installing update ....
set_metadata_Recursive : some changes failed
E:Error in /Storage/sdcard1/cm-11-20160115-SNAPSHOT-i9300.zip
(status 7)

Thanks for the reply...is there any procedure to install these files ?
Download mode and flash the clockworkmod recovery via odin (pda button and start).
Hopefully you should get some kind of response..

But The thing is Odin just not able to detect my phone....
I am able to go into Download section.
Hello,I need help...My phone also appeared on this problem.Did you solve it?
I think philz touch cwm had and option to wipe partition even when it couldnt be mounted so you may give it a go
Hi,
my I9305 phone died on me and rebooted but is stuck on the lineage OS animation
I have tried to reinstall twrp recovery for my model from the official site but I never managed to start it; so I tried twrp from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/recovery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249, stopped the device from rebooting after the flash so I could start recovery manaully and I managed this time so I chose to re-flash the previous version of lineage (thinking the latest could have caused the issue) but instead I got this message at the very beginning of the flash and again at the completion of the flash, ignored them and after restart the phone is still stuck on the lineage animation.
I want to boot lineage as I need to recover some settings to a new phone.
Can anyone help please?
thanks a lot in advance!
[EDIT]
managed to installed official twrp and boot it
the messages is slightly different
Failed to mount '/tombstones' (invalid argument)

Click to collapse
shows at the very beginning of the script when flashing rom:
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/tombstones' (invalid argument)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then again right at the end after (again)
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/tombstones' (invalid argument)

wipe cache and dalvik does not solve the issue...
---> flash pit file?
No. Do not flash a pit. You must flash back to stock firmware via odin but you will lose all data.

Thanks Shivadow; that did it
Is flashing back to Stock neccessary or is there any other way to fix the tombstones problem?
