Hello
I have a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 SM-T230 that is not booting correctly.
I got it in a non working condition, kept rebooting when turned on.
I reflashed the stock ROM using Odin after installing TWRP but this would results in the tablet getting to the choose your language screen then restarting itself.
I tried the below versions of the stock ROM but they all have the same result:
T230XXU0ANG3_T230SER0ANG2_T230XXU0ANG3_HOME.tar.md 5
T230XXU0ANJ4_T230BTU0ANJ2_T230XXU0ANJ4_HOME.tar.md 5
T230XXU0ANK3_T230BSE0ANK1_T230XXU0ANK3_HOME.tar.md 5
StockRoms-Series_T230(NU)+V1.6.3
The custom ROMs I have tried get stuck on their startup/boot screen.
I have also tried:
Wiping all david, cache, data, system, internal.
Re partitioning using DEGASWIFI_HIDDEN_100M.pit
Using Odin 3.9 and 3.12 with the md5 file in the AP section
TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-degas and TRWP_2.8.7.0_EUR_VERSION
The custom ROMs cm-v13-degaswifi-kids-unofficial-20170713, ACHERON_ROM_V2.3.5_SM_T230_NU and [KK] [SM-T231/T230/NU] + Android 5.0 Lollipop Material Design
Combinations of reflashing, factory reseting, cache wiping.
Kies recovery but it will not maintain a connection, keeps disconnecting the tablet
Fixing partitions in TWRP
The only thing left to do as far as I am aware is to NAND Erase all but I am not sure if recovering after doing that is feasible.
Update: Tried Nand erasing, then re partitioning and reflashing of stock firmware, no change.
Tried EFS clear and Phone bootloader update.
Now the partitions appear to be broken and re partitioning with the pit file and reflashing does not fix it, cannot mount data or system.
Any suggestions to resolve this issue?
Thank you

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
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
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.
I was using the Blekota Note 4(based on Kitkat) on my i9300 when it one day suddenly it restarted on its own and went into a bootloop and heated up. So I took out the battery and tried starting it again by clearing cache and dalvik cache. But it was still stuck at bootloop. After about 3 hours, somehow it came back on its own, but all the data and settings were lost. The downloaded apps were present, but their settings were lost.
Since I would have to again set up all apps, I wanted to try a new rom, Lollipop based. I downloaded the latest RESURRECTION REMIX (5.5.7) apps and downloaded the OpenGapps micro package. But after trying a clean install, the boot loop problem was still there. I tried with a different Gapp package, from OmniRom thread (all were for Android 5.1) but still no help. Even flashing the ROM alone would be of no help. I remembered I had a similar problem after flashing Boeffla kernel and the solution in that case was flashing a new version of the kernal. I tried that also. But no help.
I changed my recovery from CWM to TWRP as someone in some thread mentioned that it could help. But still No avail. In doing a clean rom, I tried almost 3 roms, cleaned cache, system, dalvik cache and even the internal storage and tried all other combinations. BUT THE SAME BOOT LOOP PROBLEM REMAINED.
As a last resort I had to flash the original 4.3 JellyBean firmware hoping that performing a clean install from that would help. But even after that the boot loop remains. Someone please help me flash a Lollipop based rom. This thing is driving me crazy now.
There's still 1 basic procedure: flash a 3part firmware with PIT-file for repartition.
Pit files should only be considered as a last resort.
Clear data and reflash stock rom and repeat once more. I have had cases where the rom didnt fully clear on a normal single flash.
Dont let it boot to rom. Do the two data wipes from recovery only.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
Hi I have a SM-N910F model which is proving extremely difficult to flash. I firstly flashed the latest Marshmallow UK BTU firmware on it which resulted in a boot loop. I cleared cache partition and wiped data/factory reset in the stock recovery (and TWRM recovery) but this did not fix the problem. So I flashed the phone again and this time it was stuck in a boot loop with the text "recovering booting..." at the top left. Tried the same as before and still didnt fix it.
So I then tried a different stock rom - Lollipop UK BTU firmware. This gave me the exact same problems as before. However on a few occasions, I also got an error on the recovery screen saying cache could not be mounted. I cleared the cache partition, tried reformatting cache using TWRM but none of this worked. Eventually I reflashed and it went away but the boot loop doesnt go.
Lastly I tried an even older firmware - Kitkat UK BTU firmware. This again gave me a boot loop problem. It also kept displaying the cannot mount cache error as well. I tried using PIT file to repartition the device and eventually the error went but the device would still be on boot loop. However on two occasions the phone did go past the Samsung logo and show the first setup screen (where you select initial settings like Wifi etc). After like 10-15 seconds it would just switch off and then go back into boot loop. I havent managed to get to the first setup screen again.
I have tried flashing with various different Odin versions but still no luck.
I feel like I have exhausted my options and not sure what to do. Do you think I should try a custom rom? If so, for the sake of getting it to start, which is a good lightweight rom?
Does anyone know what I can do to make these infinite boot loops and/or "cannot mount cache" error go away?
Anyone? I could really do with some help..
I think you have problem with motherboard, try to find original stock frimeware, by country. If not help try custom rom. I suggest any AOSP rom such as Lineage OS or CM.
Tried 3 different stock roms. Like I said it will either be in a boot loop, recovery loop, or give an cache mounting error. Im hoping that the motherboard is not faulty because it is not always the same problem
Hi , I think is because You have FRP (Factory Reset Protection) On which means you can't flash property your phone .
What U can try is to extract recovery.img from latest stock firmware for your Region .
Now use this script to transform recovery.img to recovery.tar.md5
here is how to do :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
Put your phone in download mode click on AP: and choose recovery.tar.md5
After that click on Start .
If the flashing was OK , put again your phone in Download mode and flash completely the same firmware with original recovery.img inside it.
Good Luck
