Bricked my SGN2 probably wiped the the efs and now its corupted it says in recovery failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
I was on emotion note 2 rom v4.5 then i flashed droid turk v3 and then assasin rom v7 till then it was fine and then i decided to go back to emotion rom v4.5 the problem starts from here as soon as i booted my phone after installing emotion rom there was no gsm so i decided to revert back to assasin rom but problem still exists then i tried wiping data cache no change at all then i flashed stock rom 4.1.1 via odin and after that i am stuck on samsung boot screen loop tried installing cwm recovery and then wiping again nothing happens my phone is still stuck on boot loop.
My phone is in warranty but i can't claim it until the binary counter is reset as it is 4 now so is there any way to reset counter via odin or recovery.
I nearly tried everything but in vain i have efs backup but its in .tar.gz format so i can't flash it via odin nor can i restore via recovery.
Anyone with help will be appreciated please help me guys its been 2 days my phone's been in this mental trauma

try a different cable/usb input on the computer, if that doesn't work download again and make sure the checksum is correct if possible
if that doesn't work try flashing philz recovery from odin, untick the reboot option, then boot into recovery without booting normally
then wipe everything and start over
good luck

I'm stuck on logo boot screen. I believe the problem is because I formatted the root partition of phone.
I can get into to download mode and install stock firmware. I can also install recovery like TWRP, OUDHS or CWM
I can't do factory reset b/c phone can't mount /data. It can't format /sdcard either
Any ideas? I'm thinking I need the pit file to restore the partition table but having trouble locating one
This happened before with my Galaxy Player and I was able to restore with stock firmware & pit

I figured it out. Instead of factory reset with TWRP or CWM I tried with stock Samsung recovery
I Odin stock recovery. Sorry I forgot where I download it from but it was in one of these threads
(1) Put in download mode. Then Odin stock firmware (everything unchecked)
(2) Unplug USB cable & pull battery. Boot into recovery (vol up + power). It took a few tries to do this
(3) Factory reset & wipe data
(4) Reboot
Hope this helps anyone else with same problem

i used to use cyanogen mod 10 but wanted a official rom from sam mobile so i flashed via odin and cocked up my note 2 n7100

When you change your rom you need to wipe data from recovery.

Always flash custom rom through custom recoverys only (not from stock rom). Flash TWRP or CWR or Philz recovery first and then flash custom rom.
After flashing custom rom or stock rom, first wipe data and cache (as above said) before rebooting.

get into recovery flash this file http://d-h.st/fWr u will loose evrything from internal memory, now after it reboot to recovery just flash your rom but dont reboot after installation.
first click fix permission
then wipe cache and dalvik atleast twice
then reboot!
it should load the rom fine, and i would suggest to stay with philz recovery and create a backup of efs and rom both the terminal way and through recovery too

I hope u are rooted and have a custom recovery installed if yes then its a script to clean wipe the rom to start a fresh install better known as dirty flash so when u flash the zip it will wipe ur cache, dalvik, system on recover and will automatically reboot to recovery then u can proceed wth any custom rom u want the latest philz recovery is recommended.i am using my phn yo reply and already 4am morning here so be sure what you are doing , give complete info of ur phn status as wht u hv done till now if u have all as mentioned abv then u r good to go and flash, but in ur case the flash of the file was not successful so u can manually wipe all mentined above and procced as instructed.
Its an instruction for custom rom and recovery if u have stock then just wipe cache and dalvik and try booting up.
Off to sleep
If you are unsure of what u r doing then try to get hands on odin and flash stock rom ,as messing up to much may damage ur pit partition

If it stuck to logo after flashing then just wipe cache and data (factory reset) from recovery.

Have you make a backup befor you flashed The Rom?
For this Rom you need always The newest Recovery Version,depent of New updater script.
Can you go to The recovery , make a factory reset and wipe cache / dalvik.
Then go to download mode and flash Stockrom again.
Then flash Philz recovery, after flash Boot manuly into recovery make an backup and now reboot your Tab Into recovery make an fullwipe and flash your New Customrom.

I have no clue what i did with it, but this is on the screen:
Odin Mode
Product name: SM-T210
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custon
HW REV: 0x5
It has an image like: Tablet......Yellow triagle with an ! in it.....Computer.
Under that it has the text: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. But Kies can't connect to the device. I have no clue what i did all ....
Experts please help !!!
hey
in philz recovery, in wipe options select - clean to install new rom
the goto tab 3 7.0 area get svelte rom , you need to put it on removable microsd with card reader [get one]
the put card back in tab reboot to recovery and flash, firmware updates aren't always good or necessary,
odin should be a last option. stay calm [use the force] and good luck :good:

Its funny its only work when you factory reset, My guess would be that something wrong with twrp or updater script.*

Im pretty sure your rom that you are running is corrupted, this has happened to me
when this happens recovery will not let you run that ROM. So it will
keep rebooting into recovery. Try this, go into recovery Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik
then reboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing a Rom.
my rom is the orginal sumsung rom that came with the device only rooted.
i will try wiping the data/cach/dalvik and then maybe restore an old backup that i have.
thanks for the advice.
well it didnt work.
i also tried to recover a working version of my rom and still boot loop to recovery.
plus when i power it off and connect the power cord it startup automaticaly to recovery.

I think The onlyest way is to flash a Stockrom to your Tab.
Then try to flash a Recovery to your Tab again, but i prefere CWM or Philz Touch not TWRP.
maybe i should install philz on top of twrp and then restore old backup?
i dont think i can get the orignal frimware form samsung in my country.

The prob is, only with CWM or Philz you restore Backups froh there, is The backup froh TWRP you need TWRP as Recovery.
Download from sam The Version what is in The box .
well i found the orginal rom in .img file at samfirmware. i belive its pure stock - i know that someone of you can confrim this - but how to i flash it?
i belive is with odin buth as for the instracion. is it like flashin recovery with odin? if so i will follow that instracation and give it a go.
I have the same problem, did anybody figure this out?
ended up just reflashing the stock rom from odin instead of twrp and it worked.

So I've done this before, attempting to install a different type of ROM, the only way to repair this is to return to stock via Odin. Download the stock rom in the 10.1 dev thread, reboot into download, and flash via Odin.
