my phone is galaxy s9+ korean, G965N.
i installed twrp but i got this error message("failed to mount '/preload' (invalid argument)") when i install something or format system or whatever i do.
i know there is no wipe option for preload partiton(this is main problem of this situation).
i searched solution and found two method
one is flashing cwm recovery -> there is no cwm tar file for my phone so failed.
two is flashing new original rom -> i don't know how can i do it. i know just odin flashing method. i can't do other method(adb or fastboot) because my computer can't recognize my phone with that two method.
is there anyone that know solution of this problem?

Hello.
I have a GT-i9305 andI tried the rooting by following the instructions at http://galaxys3root.com/ on my Ubuntu laptop with heimdall.
I managed to install the recovery and also flash the cwm zip. I saw som problems related to /cache/ so I wiped cache and after that I have not been able to get past boot logo. I hav ealso tried flashing a custom rom and doing a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache bu
t it did not help. I have tried Odin and flashing from a .tar.md5 file but it results in FAIL.
I can reach both download mode and recovery but that is all.
Please help, I need my phone.
did you use a i9300 method on your i9305? you've probably killed the phone.
flash a stock ROM via Odin (i9305 one) and factory reset from recovery. if that doesn't help - send it to Samsung.
And this is the i9300 section, you're in the wrong place
Thanks.
I got back to stock. I will try to use the i9305 method.
Mount /sdcard not possible
Wel, I have the same problem.
Samsung SIII International version. After installing a new rom (believe it was "jellybam-v6.1.0_i9300-STABLE.zip") but I am not sure, the phone boots only to the original logo and then the screen goes black. Nothing more.
I can get into recovery mode and download mode so I tried several recovery versions (CWM, TEAMWIN, latest ClockworModRecovery v 6.0.2.8.) and several ROM.
No mater what I install, I get the same results. Boot phone and it hangs after the standard Samsung logo.
I was able to find out "/sdcard" could not be mounted. All the recovery programs I used with the option "mount unmount" reporting the same "/sdcard could not be mount" error.
Formatting /sdcard all so won't work.
I am thinking installing a new kernel but I have some difficulties in finding witch one will work with my phone?
Any suggestions or help is really appreciated b/c I have no idea what to do next.
Samsung I9300
Win 7
Latest USB drivers from Samsung installed
No Kies installed.
Odin3_v3.07 installed.
Using Odin I flashed:
CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.8-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-dlj4-GTI9300.tar
recovery-stock-blg9-GTI9300.tar
And a few more.
Due to being unable to acces the phone installing a zip file is not possible. Using "installing a rom from zip, or sdcard" from recovery is not possible.
I tried installing a file using sideload but was not succesfull. I can get the phone in receiving a file from sideload but was unable to send a file from the PC.
Thanx in advance
you have to do a factory reset after flashing a new rom
Did wipe/clear/factory set etc every time just to find the phone goes black after the Samsung logo.
One particular thing: I can see the /sdcard in some recovery programs but can't modify it.
How can I transfer a zip file using Sideload?
I can get into "download a file using Sideload" on my phone but what should I do to get a zip file transferred. Maybe then I can use "install from zip" from a recovery.
Update Problem solved (for me) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162908
I flashed the 9305 firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/ in Odin then I was back to stock.
Then I rooted the phone by this instruction.

I have not tried a custom rom but I think it should work.
Hello Everybody,
my boss got me a Galaxy ACE S5830i in order to test some app development and I immediately managed to root it and install a custom ROM.
These were the steps I took
1- I flashed the update.zip I found around the web, for example here -> http://www.theandroidroot.com/root-install-cwm-recovery-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830i/
2- I flashed CWM 5.0 and immediately, without rebooting, saw the new Recovery. So it really did install!
3- I updated to CWM 6
4- I flashed thunder kernel in order to make the CWM permanent -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335947
5- I rebooted the phone in recovery mode and got the CWM. Everything was fine up to now
6- I flashed a ROM (after wiping everything). Actually, several roms. I tried first with CGM, then with Aroma and Retribution Beta. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806471 All of them managed to install but none of them works. What ALWAYS happens is that the ROM installs, then I reboot and the phone does not go past the Samsung Logo. Then, and here we come to the weirdest part, when I reboot in recovery mode in order to flash another rom... I get the stock recovery! No CWM, no customizations!
What's happening, in your opinion? I tried to flash a custom ROM with Odin as well, but being on Linux I had to use JOdin and could not manage to flash anything because (as it ALWAYS happens with JOdin) I was not able to load a suitable PIT file. No success with wine+odin as well.
Please, could somebody help me? I can't use my boss phone, and can't return it to him until I get a working ROM on it
Thank you in advance
P.S. When I get to the Recovery I see some rows to the bottom:
-- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /system (Indalid argument)
and (I know 'cause I tried) I can't mount or format the /system partition. Maybe it's related, maybe it's not...

Hello,
thank you for answering.
I can temporary get to CWM recovery for sure, but I don't know how to push the erase_image file (that I found) to the device. I'm only able to copy files on the SD, using another phone, and then flash them from CWM. Is there a way to make adb able to detect the device even when it's in recovery?
Thank you

Are the ROMs you tried based on CM7/9? Because if they are, you need to format your system partitions to EXT4. You can do that with the multi-formatter.
Also, you say that you have your stock recovery back. Check the ROM zips that you flashed for any boot.img. If there is, check which kernel and which version. Some older kernels still have stock recovery.
As even stock recovery cannot mount /system, clearly your system partitions are corrupt. Format with the multi-formatter and flash a CM7/9 based ROM or flash back stock firmware via Odin.
If you choose the multi-formatter, remember to flash a kernel afterwards. And if you prefer, one with a permanent CWM.

hi guys,
i have big problem with my galaxy s2. it is about four years old, fall down couple of times. i had no troubles the first three years. i read into odin and co and did made some upgrades and another mod. usb connector failed to connect to computer and car charging cable. and first time my telephone crashed and was in a boot screen loop. after my usb connection failed and i bought a new online (found one in china, somebody wrote this here in this forum) and put it in (might be the reason for the crashs? i do not know!)
so today my telephone crashed again (i charged it through cable and then i saw boot loop screen "android", although i had NeatROM- Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean installed, so normaly i would have seen "neat rom boot screen", but i saw"android" ... what the heck???) i really do not know what to do.
so far i can say, what i have installed.
PhilZ Build Version 5.15.9 - i9100
CWM Base Version: v6.0.3.7
i tried to install now CM nightly, but failed somehow...i have absolutely no idea what to do.
what i want?
i need help to get a new clean installation with full updates? i do not know if i have best kernel or whatever. appreciate any help. through CWM i am happy i can put my telephone in usb mount and saved my data. so anyone?
so i upgraded the kernel to
Philz Touch 6.48.4 and CWM 6.0.5.0
it was the newest version i could find for i9100. is this correct?
now i can choose a rom which i want? or does some not work with philz or s2?
fu** thi ****.....i wiped and erased cache everything and flashed Hazy Rom 5.02 + Pico Apps + Root and still boot loop....:crying:
i give up....this crap...i flashed now neatrom

/format preload is important

blog.namran.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/android-boot2.jpg
and loop. i had neatrom before and i know there should be the neatrom bootscreen...
i flashed a stock rom with odin. and again boot loop. i did factory reset and it says "E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)"
might be the problem??? what now??
i see support for this old phone is pretty pretty low

Try to flash again official firmware with odin.
If doesn't work
Try with repartition. Flash STOCK 2GB pit and kernel with odin. You have tutorial on xda. After repartition and following tutorial:
Then go in recovery and try to flash philz recovery or philz kernel zip. Then reboot again in than new philz recovery and try to format this:
wipe data -> clean to install new rom
Go in mount and storage -> /format sdcard0 -> default
After that go in Download mode and open the Odin and try to flash again firmware.
I don't have idea, try this.
okay, i will try this
repartition means everything will be deleted right? so even pictures and videos?
when i did normal flash, it never erased pictures (even though i do not have an external sd)

Yes. You will format everything(even internal storage), so that means you will have to make a backup of internal sdcard.
Read repartition tutorial on xda. You have them in s2 android development section.
looks like it did not help...i did repartition with 2GB stock and stock rom (PDA) with odin....i am still having bootloop and now in recovery i see again "E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) ... crap
well, i just saw after mounting usb, that i still have all my data...what the hell? what did i do wrong? i followed the tutorial, clicked all checkboxes and chose the stock pit and pda?!?!?!?

Hello,
Yesterday I unlocked my Galaxy S3 i9300, turned the Wifi on and soon after that my phone started to reboot.
This happened a few times before, but this time it got stuck on the "Galaxy S3" Screen.
So I booted in the Recovery Mode (TWRP 3.1.10) and was planning to wipe the cache partition, but I got the Error that the Recovery is unable to mount Any Partition..
So I cant do anything.
I wanted to ask, why my phone can not mount any Partitions anymore for example (system, efs, cache..).
What exatly is damaged and is it repairable?
I took a picture of the Error Message, but i dont know how to upload it. So I wrote it down.
Hope someone can help me and sorry for my bad english.
Kind Regards.

Try to find .pit file and flash it with odin. and then flash your stock rom.
My phone's model is SHV-E210K, i have searched on google but haven't found any .pit file related to my phone.
The sboot.bin file is the bootloader and it is not flashing because the bootloader in the phone is newer than than the bootloader in the ROM, the ROM is not for the phone, try a different USB cable, and/or try different USB ports.
The problem is recovery has gone crazy. Recovery mounts partitions. I've seen this problem a lot with twrp. When it happened to me I flashed the latest official cwmr via Odin. If you have a stock rom on the phone you can flash a stock recovery too. DO NOT FLASH A STOCK RECOVERY IF YOUR ROM ISN'T STOCK/ROOTED STOCK!!!

I followed this tutorial http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-tab-gt-p1000/#comment-84220 to Install CM 13 ROM on Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000.
I succeffully rooted the device with z4root Android App
I then proceeded to install CWM recovery with Ondin. Although Ondin reports the procedure as Pass, the tablet went into boot loop. It cannot be turned off except for disconnecting the battery.
Is there a way out of this state? I can still put the tablet in Downloading mode.
Thanks for any help.

Hi there,
Normally, when you pull the battery during download mode this will damage the device and you will not turn it on. But anyways can you confirm that you are able to boot the device into download mode.
Sincerely
KIBS2173
I managed to install an original ROM following Overcome guide (after the battery died I managed to put device in download mode and install)
I can now install CWM recovery without a problem. I can also root OK
But I cannot install the CW 13 ROM or any other ROM. I get an error that failed to mount system (invalid argument) and data (no such device) partitions (see attached pictures).
I tried wiping them with TWRP, change the FS back and forth - but all these things fail. It's as if the partitions are somehow locked or protected. Is there any way to fix that?
