Hi all,
I'm am new to all this flashing business, so i tried to put gingerbread 2.3 on my SGS. I downloaded and followed the tutorial from another site and i downloaded firmware I9000TUBJV6 CSC = UBJV6.
It says its a firmware for America and Australia (Which I'm in Australia).
I ran the Odin3 v1.82 and it had a pass and said it ran successful, but when the phone restarted is wont load past the moving S start screen. I ran it in recovery mode and tried to do a factory reset but i get the error message
E:format_volume: rfa format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Any help appreciated
try following this GUIDE
btw - this is the wrong section for your problem
Thanks Mate,
But my SGS is a GT-I9000T, is there a fix for these problems as the guide you sent says don't try it on this model.
Cheers
doesnt matter. flashing procedure is same for all.
it depends on what you flash. so, you can flash this stock ROM
its from samfirmware.com. password for extracting is "samfirmware.com" (w/o quote).

hi,
i have a Gio S5660 that i bricked trying to sim unlocking it before putting it on sale.
the device can get into Download mode (no recovery mode though) but Odin 4 doesn't flash anything anymore, tried different roms (stock, moded, froyo, GB) nothing works, Odin 4 says PASS but after rebooting the screen keeps on blinking the ugly Samsung logo.
i tried to make a Heimdall flashing package but when i try to load a rom into the packager i get an error that says no Firmware.xml found.
is it even possible to use Heimdall or other Odin versions to flash a Gio, if so how do u make a package for that ?

After flashing with odin and get in bootloop, press the power button for 10 seconds, after restart press home and power until get in to recovery, there should factory reset and the most important - fix rfs or something, can't remember now exactly, the phone will reboot automaticaly and you have to wait some time to boot.
Which method did you try to unlock it with?
HEllo,
Same problem, keep blinking trying to boot with Samsung white letters.
FR
What, and how EXACTLY did you tried to flash with odin? (Which rom, Onepackage/multipackage, tar/md5...?)
Hello,
Still fighting to bring it into life.
Well the problem began when unlocking with the thread instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705
Everything seemed to go as expected but...
After that it never rebooted well, still in cycle on www.samsung letters firs screen.
Even so i tried to flash it with ODIN into Stock Rom 2.3.5 and the same problem.
Sometimes i still can have the "Recovery Mode" and flash other versions, i have the PASS message ok, but when reboot... same problem.
And with the Oneclick Unbrick recovery it fails...
Really worried abou this... nice brick!
Thanks to all that are trying to help!
At the beginning of the process it hads the 2.3.3 version locked to Vodafone.
Maybe you just misspoke, but you can't use Odin if your phone is in recovery mode. It has to be in downloading mode.
In my opinion:
1. Boot into recovery (are you using cwm?)
2. Do a factory reset+wipe everything (incl. dalvik cache)
3. Turn off the phone
4. Download the latest ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16979769&postcount=547
(S5660XXKS2)
5. Boot your phone into downloading mode
6. Flash with Odin (this is NOT "One package", you have to put everything in the right spot /boot, phone, etc/)
Hello again,
Yes i mean Download mode, i', flashing with ODIN but "one package Versions" i'm goin to try next your link already downloading.
Even if i can not unbrick it (wich is strange because i still can flash it) i must thans you very much for great cooperation!
Working...
You're welcome. When I bricked my phone, this is how I got it working again. I hope it works for you too.
Keep my posted...
Hello again,
Well just flashed again with ODIN (not One Package) and last firmware (2.3.5) and the report is that at the end i have the PASS confirmation but phone keeps flashing and does not reboot alone as supposed (waited 15 mn).
Unplug USB cable, battery out, battery in, power on and it returns to its "preference": alternates between dark scredn and those White letters saying SAMSUNG... infinite loop.
This is strange, i'm tired of seaching everything and this is not a normal beahaviour for this procediure.
I can follow all the steps... and at the final... same result.
Don't really know what to do next.
Once more, thanks for all!
Fernando
I'm sorry it didn't work. I have one last suggestion. The firmware you just tried to flash has a few md5 files. Rename them to tar, an extract them. The files you will find inside are the ones you can flash with Heimdall (data.rfs, system.rfs, etc).
I can't tell you much more, because I never used it (just googled a bit right now), but you can probably find a few tutorials about the subject.
Hello,
The fight continues and for all that i've read so far i almost sure that someting happend with the EFS partition.
I think that, case possible, the way is trying to flash an EFS new partition.
Someone knoes ho to do that?
Thanks!

please give more information about stuck on logo (ex: logcat)
and dont play with EFS partition. its very dangerious.
it can really bricked your phone
When you can go to recovery mode with your gio you should flash ext4-formatter.zip(download,put on sdcard,go to recovery find `installzip from sdcard` and flash it.
the internal phone memory has to be in ext4 format ,if not you have the above problems.
after flashing you can install a rom.
By the way,i tryed flashing with heimdall-frontend ,i think it can ,but you have to rename it to a .tar gz file it wil be compiled automatic adding it to heimdall,but...than it says
`firmware.xml is missing from the package` , so...you have to ad(make or edit an existing one,and insert it in the package) that file... which contains name rom ed , than it probably works...
What is heimdall?
sort of odin but odin doesnt run on linux,for flashing
SOLUTION!!
Hey , I figured out a while back how to sort this out... Odin works,The reason though it bootloops is just that the \Data and \Cache Partitions are still in Ext4 Format... Stock Rom uses RFS... So The Solution is - After you Flash Your Stock Rom Via Odin, after it says "PASS" , Unplug USB then Reboot into the stock recovery mode by Holding HOME and POWER Button , Then format Cache and Then Wipe Data/Factory Reset (By doing this it formats back to RFS and then it can operate) ... then reboot to system ... And Voila , It works!!!! (Always works for me)... Hope this Helps Just Remember to USE ODIN (Heimdall apparently not Gio Supported)
Solved thanks to advice from users on another forum.
Hi, everyone,
Unfortunately, my first post is bad news.
I have a 5110, which I bought in China and love, and yesterday I tried to use mobile odin to flash the UK 4.2.2 stock from sammobile over my 4.1.2 rooted firmware.
Odin seemed to be doing fine, but at about 15% of the way through the process the progress bar froze and eventually the tablet restarted into Android System Recovery.
I can get into download mode. I tried to use Odin on a PC to flash the same file, but I got the error:
NAND Write!!
Failed!!
At this point I don't know what to do next. I've read some threads that indicate that this could mean needing a motherboard replacement (problem with NAND), but I hope that isn't the case…any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys,
I've been searching the web, including this forum, trying to get help but after trying everything with no luck, I decided to ask for your help/guidance.
This is the problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) SM-P600 Wifi with P600XXUBMK1 Android 4.3 11.11.2013 1710482 stock. (PDA:MK1 / CSC: MK1 (TUR)) No root or anything else. It was working fine.
I decided to upgrade to Kitkat 4.4.2 and downloaded following from samsung-updates.
Below you will find all available download mirrors for P600KXUCOA2 firmware version for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (Wi-Fi) (SM-P600) from region KOO!
Firmware Version Info
(PDA: P600KXUCOA2 CSC: P600KOOCOA2 CHANGELIST: 3872460 BUILD DATE: 21.01.2015)
I installed Odin 3.09 (Also 1.85 and 3.07 just in case based on suggestions from other forum posts) and followed the instructions I found on a website, unfortunately, step by step instructions skipped the very important part: enabling USB debug before starting. That means I didn't enable USB debug.
I entered the download mode, started the Odin, added MD5 file to AP field and followed the instructions, but after a while, it showed failed message. I unplugged the tablet, tried to restart but it gave me the "firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." message. I tried to entered the recovery mode but it kept coming back to that message. I then tried the download mode, but it became Korean, and in Odin Mode product name changed from SM-P600 to SM-P600-KOR. I tried Odin again but kept failing. At this point Download Mode and the Error screen is all I can do.
Then, I tried Kies 2 and Kies 3 but they didn't recognize the tablet, so I tried Kies on Mac, it didn't recognize the tablet but I was able to enter the model and serial number to start the recovery, after a few hours, process failed and this message showed on the screen:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3, BINARY:2
I repeated the process on both Mac and WIndows PC several times but got the same error message. Emergency recovery doesn't even recognize the tablet, it asks for a code from another computer but I don't have any code.
I looked online and it was suggested that downloading Korean Android 4.3 firmware will solve the problem, so, I downloaded P600KXUANB1_P600KOOANB1_HOME.tar.md5 and tried to install using all 3 versions of Odin, but I kept getting FAIL and SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3, BINARY:2 message on the screen.
Then, I found another suggestion online saying the stock firmware will fix everything so I downloaded
"Below you will find all available download mirrors for P600XXUBMK1 firmware version for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (Wi-Fi) (SM-P600) from region TUR!
Firmware Version Info
(PDA: CSC: CHANGELIST: 1710482 BUILD DATE: 11.11.2013)"
from samsung-updates.
Again, I tried to install using all 3 versions of Odin, but I kept getting FAIL and SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3, BINARY:2 message on the screen.
At this point I am completely stuck.
1. Is my tablet bricked? If so, how bad is it? Soft-bricked with a chance of fixing or hard-bricked as in a paper weight?
2. What should I do next?
3. What does SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3, BINARY:2 mean?
4. Is there anyway to change SM-P600-KOR back to SM-P600?
5. I tried every combination I could find online to enter the recovery mode but download mode is the only mode I can enter. Is there a hard reset file or something or anything that I can do to enter the recovery mode?
I really appreciate your patience reading my post and I hope you can help me to fix this tablet.
Thanks.
Install the PIT file from the below link for the p600 through Odin, this should re-partion your device & bring it alive.

Thanks for the reply lsherif. I was able to bring back to Samsung Logo and recovery option but that's about it. Samsung logo flashes and the screen goes dark and nothing happens. I waited over 30 minutes to see if it restarts but screens is lit but dark. I did "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" but nothing happened except I lost the recovery partition again, so, I used the PIT file again and tried to install the original 4.4.2 file PDA: P600KXUCOA2 CSC: P600KOOCOA2 CHANGELIST: 3872460 BUILD DATE: 21.01.2015 since the recovery screen was showing the KOT49H. P600KXUCOA2. (I assume when I originally tried to update using P600KXUCOA2 it probably overwrote the recovery partition only.) This time I was able to go further in the Odin, but it failed again. I tried using Korean 4.3 and stock 4.3 P600XXUBMK1 however I keep getting the SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3, BINARY:2 message.
I tried Kies again but no avail. At the moment, Samsung Logo shows up when I restart and I am able to enter the recovery and download mode but that's it. Right now, tablet is plugged in and I am hoping it may start by itself but I am not hopeful.
So, what is my next step? What should I/can Ido? Waiting for reply.
Thanks.
Ok guys, I was able to download and install US 4.4.2 firmware and that fixed all the problems. I set up tablet, had about 3 additional OTA android updates after that and now everything is running very smoothly. It seems to charge slower but we'll see if that's the case after a while.
I'd like to thank lsherif for saving me from that uncertainty.
Thanks y'all!
Could you please post a link to the firmware you said fixed the problem for anyone with the same issue

Here is the thread I downloaded the firmware from:

and this is the firmware I downloaded:
http://click.xda-developers.com/api...mega.co.nz/#!H4hT1QQb!nidMcJ...J-aURaD1WiaU0I
I have the same error!
And what's weird is everything that happened to you can be traced to what's happening to me. (Even the serial code is same) thank god I wasn't the only one with this issue.
I hope the method you told works else I'm literally screwed. Btw does this fulfill the original goal (update to 4.4.2?)
Hi guys,
I am coming with same issue but maybe even worse, I tried to flash TWRP on stock rom to be able to instal custom rom, after that I got same issue with Error message about try recoery with Kies.
I made same steps as you and I tried to flash PIT file but it does nothing, but my tablet is straght from Korea, even error mesage about kies is in Korean so I think it is maybe the issue.
One more quesiton, PIT file must be flashed together with AP or rom file? When I try just flash PIT I get error about re-partition operation failed and nothing more.
If anybody out there still remeber how you fixed your issue I would appreciate it very much. Thanks
Hi All,
Sorry for my English, it's not my language.
I need your help because I think I have bricked my Note 7 after trying to install the last Hydra rom 1.3.5.
I explain you the situation:
I have installed custom TWRP => it was good
Then I have rooted with superU => it was good
Then I have tried to install hydra rom => the installation was OK
The phone reboot at the end of installation => phone stay on start screen "Hydra rom" and reboot (loop infinite)
I cannot power OFF the phone.
I cannot go to the recovery menu.
I can only go to the download mode.
So I have tried to re-install TWRP with ODIN but it was not working. Ondin detects my phone and when I click on start, I have the message "Fail" on ODIN and the phone reboot.
Do you have any ideas to help me?
Thanks.
Note 7 Problem - please help if you can, please
Hello
I am newbie here with no proper experience [ I flashed mobile with success once but it was years ago with NOKIA e90!]
I have Note 7 exynos UK VODAFONE and I did flashed it with older OEM firmware [ to bring it back to 100% battery], I downloaded from sammobile than recent one on my mobile [ limited 60% battery]
I unchecked re-partition
I used AP file there
all went fine with ODIN v3.11.1 all pass !
but once mobile started I have big message on my screen which does not disappear [ see attached photo]
unfortunately, the process
com.android.phone stopped
I can click/press OK on screen below that message, but it reappears again and again
I tried to flash it again but now ODIN says fail and something about PIT
I would appreciate some help or tell me what steps I should take [ apart of surrendering phone to place I bought it from!!!]
regards
M.
What I did to make this work:
1 install TWRP
2 whipe format data "yes" x3
3 advanced format everything except external storage
4 reboot to download mode
5 open Odin on pc flash BL/CP provided in original Post of HydraRom
6 install HydraRom via TWRP
7 follow direction installation process
8 wait 5 mins boom!
Never fails for me.
I did that. I have already did that several time before. But I think I have understood the problem. My BL file is corrupt (may be during the download from the server)!
So I think the boot loader not working correctly! I have tried to reload one but without success. Directly Odin write "FAIL"...
Able to access Download mode only after Hydra flash. Solution?
Did this issue ever get a solution? I am having the same issue. I can enter into download mode only after the attempted hydra flash. Now it's stuck on "Hydra N7" boot screen. I had N930F flashed and running with twrp. When I attempted hydra I believe that the full rom did not flash, only 40 MB or so. To make matters worse I can't find where I jotted down my baseband, etc. It was originally N930X (live demo model). Now I get fails in odin. What can I do to remedy my situation. I read that I should flash BPH6 base files, but here it says AGO or AG2 BL. Which is it? How do I wipe the cache and data since I can only access Odin mode? I believe my BL is corrupted. Please help. I was going to trade my Note 7 in but my imei is all zeros and the boot loop. I'm not sure that they will refund or exchange in this condition. Although, they should since I doubt Samsung wants the liability of having these devices out there. Any thoughts on the matter?
Any insight and guidance is greatly appreciated!

i have the same issue.. hoping someone would help us.
Hello,
Im searching for days for a fix to this problem, I read many articles for people having such an issue but I couldn't find a working solution.
well, it was working fine couple days ago but suddenly it crashed and stuck in a bootloop.
I was using DN4 4.4.4 with twrb recovery and when i tried to wipe dalvik/cache partition I had this error "unable to mount /data".
I googled it and found a fix for it by checking " repair or change file system" which I already did but after this step the phone rebooted itself and since then I couldn't launch the recovery !!
I tried to reflash it via odin but nothing happened.
I tried to reflash stock rom which I downloaded from sammobile then it's stuck on system.img step forever ( with or without PIT file).
Now im out of ideas.
Would you help me with this ?
Thanks in advance guys. appreciating all the help.
What is the model # of your phone? If the model # is sgh-i317, then you cannot flash any stock ROMs from sammobile.com if the phone is running a 4.3 or newer bootloader.
thanks for help
I figured it out.
I flashed bootloader 4.3 then twrb and every thing is good now
