[Q] SGH-I747 trouble writing to /cache during flash, need troubleshooting advice

Hi all,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB (SGH-I747). Recently my phone starting locking up and shutting down on occasion, and yesterday it got much more frequent before refusing to boot at all. When I power on the phone it proceeds as normal up until the "Samsung Galaxy S III" logo screen before and then hangs.
I can enter recovery and download modes. I am also able to flash new recoveries using Odin (I tried switching to stock, and when that didn't work, back to CWM. No problems either time) But when I try to flash the stock ROM again, Odin hangs up on the /cache section of the flash and produces the following log:
Note: The only option I have checked in Odin is Auto Reboot
Code:

It's worth mentioning that I've tried to clear/format the cache several times with Clockwork Recovery, but it can't seem to mount, write or read the partition. The message I receive after taking almost any action in Clockwork (presumably because it's trying to update the cache) is this:
Code:
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
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I've also tried using Odin along with a pit file to repartition the device. It appears successful, but then still can't flash the image. Here's the log for that:
Note: In this case, I obviously have Re-Partition checked as well as Auto Reboot, but nothing else is selected.

Does anyone know how I can revive my phone? I'm not very familiar with the android environment or filesystem, and I'm hoping the problem is just that I'm doing something wrong/stupid.

Looks like you have the 4.3 bootloader and you cannot flash a stock 4.3 ROM in Odin unless you are using a a 4.3 ROM that has been compiled for flashing via Odin.
Don't use Odin with any ROM prior to 4.3.

[Q] Bootloop / root failure

Hi all.
My unrooted SHW-M480W got suddenly stuck in a samsung logo bootloop.
I can access system recovery and download mode, and my device is able to connect to odin (but not kies).
Recovery mode shows:
Code:
E: failed to mount / system (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/system' (invalid argument)
E: failed to mount / system (Invalid argument)
E: File Open error '/cache/recovery/log'
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: File Open error '/cache/recovery/last_log'
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: File Open error '/cache/recovery/last_install;'
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
I downloaded the CF Auto-Root: p4notewifiany for the SHW-M480W (auto-reboot and F. Reset Time checked)
but Odin is unable to flash it:

How do I go from here to recover my tablet?
Any help would be appreciated, I am very new to this whole flashing my tablet thing.

SHW-M480W is a variant of the original Note 10.1, and not of the Note 10.1 2014, right? You might have better luck in those forums.

[Q] E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery

In CMR I'm getting the following message:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery1/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
From what I've gathered from various posts if I can re-install a stock ROM (currently on CM10) from my external SD card, the problem should be resolved. I copied the stock odexed ROM from the thread below onto my SD card but when I navigate to the folder saved, the file is not there. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem/revert to stock? This all started when my phone wouldn't boot past the Note II logo screen.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Edit: Just tried to sideload stock based on this thread. Was able to complete all of the steps but CWM gave the following message:
Restarting adbd...
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:failed to open last_install: File exists
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /tmp/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Maybe I'll check out the new Nexus 6.... ^_^

Still trying to work on this. Tried to flash with ODIN but can't get an active com port. Really at a dead end right now.

I am stuck with the same error, was able to restore thrice but now it fails at sboot
