[Q] ok i admit it i need help

basically i went to flash the eg30 official update and went into recovery and flashed it. but when i rebooted it went into recovery and nothing works. i can (vol down+power) into Odin but the computer (mac with odin ) wont recognize the phones there.
I am rooted with viper's 2.2 deodexed
on the original eg30 modem
please help or point me in the direction.
if i am being to vague in the description of what happened please ask specific questions and i will provide specific (see what had happened was..)
I am not a noob
but i am also not an expert
i have been flashing and reading since way back but samsungs and odin, ek02, eg30s and deodexed or odexed. it gets overwhelming and alot of us get lost.
I need some help

What exactly did u flash?
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!

Which "official" EG30 did you update? Link please? The one that was just leaked was meant to be flashed in ODIN, not from Recovery.
As long as your phone can get recognized in download mode, you should be able to ODIN your way to safety, but are you saying your phone isn't being recognized after you go into ODIN mode?

Odin and Heimdall can be strange like that sometimes. I actually had to shutdown PC and reboot because Odin wasn't seeing my phone after I downloaded the EG30 modem. Sometimes its as simple as that. If that doesn't work, I have a few more ideas...edit..damn, you guys are quick!

I'm confused, earlier you said you went to flash the official *EG30* update.

no i was just nervous and confused myself for doing something stupid. i flashed the EK02 thinking it was the EG30 update. so many damn numbers and things....basically i got twisted up. but my phone still turns on and i can get into recovery somewhat and odin. what do i do to dig out of this?

Try reflashing the EG30 modem.bin in heimdall
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381494

So you can get into recovery? If you have a rom on your sdcard do the required wipes in case and flash that. See if that gets you up and running, if you don't, mount USB storage in cwm and transfer one to sdcard(calks stock rooted ek02 or something) and flash that. The new modem in the development section is for cwm, so you can try again after you get your phone booting.
Or since the new modem is available you could odin the eg31 leaked tar(eg30 rev_5) and update modem after

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Recovery mode in Kies

New to Samsung(coming from HTC EVO3D). I was trying to install an update(from the wrong forum i9100 FACEPALM). Anyway, now I have an error message that says to use Kies recovery mode. I can't seem to connect to Kies. Someone please give me some tips. Not rooted and was not looking to root. Just want to do some sort of factory reset to get my device back to normal. Any ideas on what or how I should proceed? TIA

Since you flashed the international version your USB is disabled and if I remember correctly can only be fixed by JTAG. If you have a MicroSD card you can still flash by Mobile ODIN - but be careful doing any wipes from an ICS kernel, including any from the stock recovery. Hope that helps.

Figured it now!! flashed a gingerbread stock rom and now I'm all good!

how did you do it? i am having the same problem

You able to get into download mode? If so just download a stock GB rom and flash in Odin.

can you give a little more insight on that? i'm trying to get into download mode, but i'm stuck at a screen that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
(kies won't recognize the phone)
before i was at this screen, i was trying to use odin one-click install to get ICS onto an at&t galaxys2 i727.
any help on how i can get back into download mode, or somewhere else where i can do something, would be a big help.

I booted into download mode and Im doing a factory restore though Odin but it has been like 20 minutes and still in download screen on phone and on Odin it stays on <ID:0/006> system.img.ext4 should I wait longer or restart phone and start over????? After an hour of waiting about an hour I restarted into download mode and now it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." any help ould be appreciated thanks

I did the same mistake but i cannot even get the phone in download mode. How were u able to get the phone in download mode? When i plug the device in the computer i get a usb device not recognized error.

Not sure but try not to reset to factory but search for a odin flashable recovery (in development section is one) go to downloadmode and flash recovery through odin. Hope it helps.

I just closed and restated Odin and rebooted phone and it went straight to download mode, i guess i got lucky. Try to install the USB drivers again. That also helped recognize the phone. I tried installing Kies but no luck until I the USB drives by themselves

Yes that did the trick, I didn't try that because I thought the restore to factory
Tar image would automatically do it. When I thought about it I tried flashing the recovery image alone through Odin and it did it. All good now. Thanks

The problem is that my phone wont turn on, When i connect the phone to the computer i get USB device not recognized. I tried multiple computers and drivers....I have ordered a USB JIG so hopefully that should do the trick

I have one question, why would anyone want to downgrade there open recovery script? Twrp is by far the best open recovery script with clockwork mod behind it. For you to try and downgrade your Rom to cwmr. Biggest mistake you could have made...

ROM: All-star ROM v7
Kernel: Lighting
Radio: LB7 blaze

Lol there both equally good for me, the reason why I was switching was because for some reason I cannot successfully flash the Real Dark Slim Gapps, every time I would flash it TWRP would restart and it started after updating to 2.4.4.0. That's the reason why I wanted to switch recovery. I even tried reformatting my internalSD card and even downloading the files again and no luck. I even tried it in older rooms that I would normally use the Skin Gapps on.

[Q] NOT ROOTED Can't Factory Restore

Hey everyone,
Was hoping I could get some help on this.
So I never rooted my T-Mobile Galaxy S3, it's totally stock, but I'm about to sell it and I went to do the factory reset in the settings and when it finally rebooted it rebooted into recovery... So then I went to wipe data/factory reset and it started the process but after the cache and data wipe then I get:
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
(i just typed that quickly while staring at the screen so please excuse any typos)
Now if I reboot it just never seems to finish booting (well I let it go for a solid 5 minutes and nothing...
I'm gonna bring it to work today while I wait for some responses but any ideas whats wrong with this thing?
Thank you!

hmm. If you can get into download moade, you could try flashing the official firmware through Odin and see if you could factory wipe in the stock recovery.
If that doesn't work, you could also try flashing a pre-rooted firmware with clockworks mod recovery and try wiping from there, then flash back official firmware through Odin.

Two Things
1. Make sure you grab the UVDMD5 file from Sammobile and then ODIN version 3.07. There's a nice tutorial on the Root 66 thread.
2. If you are selling, reset your flash counter with Triangle Away.
3. Do note the latest version of TWRP is unstable. If you are using TWRP then put at least 2.5 version. Given you are flashing via ODIN, its a moot anyway.

thanks for the info! i've got 37 seconds to go then i can download UVDMD5 haha so i'll report back later if it works.
also since i'm not (and have never been) rooted, I can't use Triangle Away, can I? i thought it was a root only app.

Yes its Root Only app. But then when you use Root66 image for UVDMD5, your phone will be rooted.

SOOOO...
Here's the story... I wasn't totally honest about just downloading the wrong file, I felt dumb and left out that I also flashed with Odin the "wrong file" (The Kernel file only from the T999UVDMD5 firmware download page) and it was just stuck in a permanent booting at the Samsung screen... So Anyway while waiting on the full firmware file to download, I went through recovery and wiped one more time (post flashing the kernel) and voila! Booted right up to the setup screen! So anyway pointing me in the direction of using Odin definitely worked, so again, thank you.

couple of things real quick. please dont leave info out. people who are trying to help are using their own time to do so, and it just mskes it harder in them.
and in the future, just downliad firmware from my firmware thread. i made it so you dont have to wait on such slow downloads.

[Q] Unable to boot; Can't mount E:/cache/...

Hello all, all of a sudden my phone start booting in to CWM with the error 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
With any attempts to restore/wipe data, I get a similar message saying it is unable to mount. Now, I am unable to boot my phone even to the CWM menu since it keeps rebooting on its own and sometimes it won't even go into the CWM menu. I have looking up this error many times and I have been unable to find a solution that works for me.
I have tried wiping the cache from CWM, wiping all data, and nandroid data, all of which ended in a error message except wiping the cache which did not solve the problem.
I have also tried this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196 but could not get my computer to recognize the device. If anyone could help or provide any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

If kies is installed uninstall it. Does odin go through the md5 check? What is your current firmware build and what build are you trying to flash? Also uninstall drivers through device manager. Then reinstall.

My phone doesn't boot up anymore. Goes straight to CWM and reboots itself. I don't remember what the current firmware build is and I'm not trying to flash anything. My phone just decided to turn off one day and won't turn back on.

Do you at least know if you updated to 4.3? If so, you can only flash the same or newer firmware from now on. So when you tried to flash with odin, if you used older firmware it would fail.
Can you boot into download mode? Hold volume down, home and power.

Booting in downloading mode was working at some point by it isn't anymore. I don't think I have updated to 4.3, it is most likely 4.1 or 4.2 and I have tried flashing 4.3.

I suggest trying to use the debrick.img from NC2 then. Its the latest available so it should work regardless of what you previously had. If you do get download mode this way you will have to odin flash the NC2 firmware.
