Hi, This is my first forum after study here for some time.
And I need a little help from my fellow XDA members here.
My issue happens when I flashed Devil 2 Kernel and managed to
formatted to F2FS file system with his instruction.
Then I decided to try another kernel, so I try to re-formatted file system back to ext4
which is worked fine until I reach the last step of formatting (I am not very sure about the text
but it seems like "format /sdcard and ...something i can't remember...")
and it just restarted itself and got stuck in a bootloop
Now I tried to fix that by..
- Installing another recovery, TWRP, it just shows splash screen in a loop. No Luck
- Try to make Devil Recovery zip file to be flashed by Odin. No Luck
...I have this error message...
$ tar -H ustar -c recyovery.img > recovery.tar
tar: recovery.img: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
- Force-flashed whole stock rom that I downloaded from sammobile.com via Odin. No Luck
It just stuck at "Getting PIT for mapping" forever.
All of them are just don't work for me.
So I kindly as XDA members here what I can do with this situation.
or at least.. How can I (properly) convert .zip file to .tar.md5 ??
Thank you very much.
not sure why would you want to convert zip to tar ? why do you need that ?
Have you considered reformatting the device partitions through adb ? I have never done this before but I think it should be possible
edit : you need to use the latest TWRP, anything before 2.7.0.0 had problems with f2fs, just in case you were trying an older version.

I don't know why, but I can't flash both TWRP 2.7.0.0 or Devil Recovery itself via recovery mode.
So I wanted to try if the result is the same if I flash it via Odin
But I interested in formatting my device through ADB. How ?
Because I can't enter recovery mode, and I have no system to boot into.
Sorry for this seems-to-be-noob question, but I really can't find the way.
PS. From my little understanding, PIT file can be used to partition my phone in Odin, right?
But will it play any role in this situation? Just curious...
download the tar version of twrp from their site and flash it through odin, see if that works

Hello,
I have a problem with my note2.
I was flashed my note2 which is N7102 with N7100 rom in Odin. Also, I checked the Nand Erase All button.
Now my note2 internal SD card space is 0, shown in the phone setting. Also, in the recovery it shows -1MB.
I cannot use the internal SD card space for storing any data like photos and snotes.
The external SD card works fine and the Data space which has 10GB also works fine.
I cannot use usb cable to connect the note2.
The worse thing is the note2 always die when it goes sleep.
Any one can help me please?
I was try to use samsung kies to flash the official rom, but the problem happened again.

OK, fixed.
The step is
1.Flash a official rom with Odin.(I just pull out the battery after flash didnt wait it boot up)
2.Flash CMW recovery with Odin.
3.Flash a rooted rom with CMW recovery.
4.Reset flash counter.(This is why I flash a rooted rom)
5.Flash the official rom with Odin and check the Re-Partition. The rom has 5 files. pit (Re-Partition), bootloader, code, csc and modem.
6.Flash CMW recovery with root in Odin.
7.Install a Terminal software on the phone.(The efs_gsm I think is only used for the N7102 which has dual-sim slot, so other mode may only try "su" "make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p17")
type:
su
umount /efs_gsm
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /efs_gsm
8.Reboot the device into recovery mode. (CMW recovery)
9.Format it with "format /sdcard" and "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)" under "mounts and storage" option
10.reboot it......Haha fixed.
11.Flash any rom with sd card.

Thanks anyway, I'm on the new Official Note 2 now. Prepare for Note 3.
Does anybody have a PIT file for SGH-T889 16gb or the sizes for PIT GEN?
Hi All, I am really in the weeds here. I just managed to get my TWRP loaded on my phone and I've had the official ROM downloads die out on me before I could get the ones with all the parts.
I need either the PIT file for the 16GB SGH-T889, the size values or reference for building one with a PIT Generator, or a place to download official ROMs that is more reliable and not linked to the now deceased "Hotfile" (I can't believe they were hosting their files on Hotfile).
This is my first post so if I'm missing any critical information, please let me know. Thanks.
FIXED: Update
I found a workable solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467179
I used Triangle Away to reset my flash count and used Kies Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
Worked perfectly to restore phone to freshly minted stock. Now I will go back and root with CWM and downgrade my radio only (like a good little soldier) and never ever ever ever EVER check "NAND ERASE ALL" again.
The End
Hi,
I need serious help.
I tried to install Vanilla RootBox rom on my Ace 2 NFC (i8160P) CZ.
So i did wipe data, cache, dalvik.
Then i add my Tee folder into rom (tee hack for P version) and i deleted the device model verification from updater-script because it is for non P version.
But when i try to flash the rom via cwm temporary, i stuck at this errors:
cant format unknown volume: /external_sd
cant partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
Click to expand...

But my sdcard is working good (adata microsdhc class10 32GB)
Any solutions?
EDIT: I am using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389395 patch but not Version 2, but V1 flashed from CWM. This could be the problem. Or not?
EDIT2: I am doing downgrade with repartition to GB an then flash JB... Nicely Done.. but when i try to flash other ROM, still gets the error. OMFG.
EDIT3: So it looks like i need to repartition or do something with mmcblk0p8 partition but what? OMFG, help me please!!!

Supposedly the mmcblk0p8p partition is the internal storage, named UMS --> Usb Mass Storage
So best check if that reads properly in android (file explorer) and/or when u connect it to your computer.
Seeing as your external SD works good and it complains about that too tho, I don't expect your internal SD to be faulty either.
As for the memory fix you flashed, when u reverted back to GB and then re upgraded to JB, was there a param.lfs.md5 file present in the package (assuming u used odin, u should be able to verify this by opening the tar.md5 in 7zip or winrar)
If yes, then any harm caused by the memory fix will have been undone and that isn't the cause either.

So, yes it is the USB storage, and its working well too. param.lfs.md5 was there. I dont know what to do now.
you are using the temporary CWM tho right? which needs to be flashed via stock recovery? and stock recovery doesn't complain about your mmcblk0p8 partition?
if this is the case, then you can root the stock rom via stock recovery --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139263
download this kernel for stock rom --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171054 -extract the zip and place the kernel.bin.md5 file on the root of your internal sdcard
install any terminal emulator, open it and and enter/type su -click accept when prompted for superuser permissions
with that all done enter "dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15" make no typo's on that one, it's lethal.
If done right, it will replace stock kernel with D kernel. which will contain the same version of cwm as in the temporary cwm zip, but with a bit of luck it will not return the error anymore then
if the problem does persist tho, you can also try both touch and regular versions of this kernel -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2424964
extract and rename to kernel.bin.md5, place on internal sd and flash them the same way again via terminal emulator.
there is more hope for this kernel as both versions run different versions of cwm than D-kernel (and eachother), but if this does not solve the problem, you will not be able to boot as that kernel is incompatible with stock rom and you will have to reflash via odin.

Ok, Yes I have rooted stock ROM and temporary CWM, so i am going to try the D-kernel. Hope is compatible with P version.
EDIT:I did the steps, and now, succesfully hardbricked Lol Checksum was ok, command too. OMFG
PC is showing "U8500 USB ROM" in device manager when I connect the USB cable so.. thanks
mybe there is problem that the kernel is build on the me7 or mf1 software.
Guys for everyone who has P version Never flash normal version officiel fw like me7 mf1 via odin on P version of ace 2 it will hardbrick you device that they have to change the motherboard so be carefully

EDIT2: LOL i putted battery out for a while and now can go to download mode. But i am at school so now i´ll go home and try odin... AGAIN
EDIT3: I am online again, phone is running well on the stock rooted JB again.. still cannot flash roms, but whatever...
Heya, sorry for the lack of response I've been a lil busy.
I thought that kernel would work on P version as well tho, sorry about that :crying:
Glad to see that you recovered your phone from that atleast.
Last thing i can think of then is to use this kernel --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072872
It's built for gingerbread, so your phone will again not boot after flashing, but the 8160Pxxlk3 version will for sure be compatible with your phone, and it has yet another version of CWM you might be able to use for flashing
If that doesn't work tho, I really am out of options

Hi. I am using Sony Xperia NEO L and managed to upgrade to JB. I followed the steps until i hot a noticed saying that the Installation aborted. What went wrong? Please help! I'm stuck here and cannot going anywhere :crying:
today i was trying to wipe my phone in twrp to re start everything. i was inside wipe/advance wipe and i click all the check boxes. System cache micro sd internal storage all of em. i did not no that it would wipe my os. now im stuck without an os and ive tryed to flash a stock rom onto it with odin but it just tells me Nand write failed on it so idk what im doing or what i am doing wrong.
Here's what I would do to at least get a working ROM on the phone:
1) copy the latest version of d2lte cm11 to your external SD card: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte;
2) flash the latest tar.md5 version of Philz Touch from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/ in the PDA box of Odin;
3) reboot to recovery and flash CM11.

thank you for the response. only thing is. i dont have a sd card.
how do i no what rom i need to flash with odin?
and what pit file i need to use?
i have a file but in odin i just get write failed
also i downloaded the phils touch thing and there is no md5.tar file in it so i cannot find anything on the odin pda
Use Odin 3.07 to flash Philz Touch in the PDA box. Philz is a custom recovery for the d2lte (North American s3). The file you need is d2lte/philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.tar.md5
You flash CM11 (the ROM) in recovery mode, not with Odin.
There is no need for a pit file.
Without a microsd card, you would need to push a ROM to your phone via ADB commands which is rather complicated for beginners.
ok im downloading that version and i have that version of odin. i also got my hands on a sd card. just cant get this odin to do what is needed.
Are you putting the phone in download mode before connecting to Odin? What errors are you getting?
it worked thanks, well the odin part worked. im still waiting on the cm11 to finish downloading so i can flash it. how did you no what i needed. ive been researching for hours man and i couldent find anything that would help me.
i have this file root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar and i downloaded a file it was like i747cuem some other letters i cant find the file now just have all that was inside it.
also in the phils touch it tells me that i cannot mount /data to setup /data /media path! and i dont no how to fix that cause my phone wont open up on my computer so i cant put the files in it
It's been a while for me but you need to install a zip from external SD card.
The nand write failure you got in Odin was probably due to the fact that you have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader on your phone. The LK3 file has a 4.1.1 bootloader. Once you have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader on your phone, you cannot load a file with a 4.1.1 bootloader.
i cant get it to even open on my computer to put the files on it >.<
hopefully gott it to work, flashed cm on it now im waiting with the little head and the arrow spinning around him been doing so for like 3 minites thou...
yeah idk its just stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen ig uess it wont go anywhere from there
Boot back into recovery and factory reset. Then reboot. It'll appear to hang for a few minutes, this is normal as it is rebuilding dalvik-cache.

Hi!
I'm having a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 N5110. I have installed a new rom using TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery but now I can't change Rom because when i try to flash .zip files i get the following error:
E: Unable to mount '/preload'
But once flashed the new rom the tablet doesn't boot (I can see the Bootanimation but no more! And I have Wiped all data)
What is working:
Download mode accessible
Recovery accessible
I can flash files
What I noticed:
I can flash zip roms but I always get the mount preload error, I tryed to mount preload partition in my recovery settings but it doesn't mount!
Originally I have had this firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/32115/N5110XXDNF1_N5110ITVDNF1_ITV/
Ok, I tried to download the stock rom from Sammobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57737/N5110XXDNK1_N5110UVSDNK1_TPA/) but when i try to flash that with Odin I get the Failed! message.
I tryed to change recovery and to flash a new rom (Gnabo rom) but it doesn't finish booting.
I think that this is a partition problem and that I need a PIT file to restore them, i found this thread about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333191. I tryed to flash the file but i get Failed!
Now, I'm trying to download a new stock rom, I found this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56156/N5110UEU2COI3_N5110XAR2COI3_XAR/ I hope it will work!
Please can someone help me?:crying::crying::crying::crying:

I've had such problem when tried to change partitions using this manual.
After I flashed modded PIT file I see that my partitions changed, but I couldn't restore backup or flash any ROM withour errors. Though TWRP 2.8.7.0 said "successful" I seen a lot of errors in log "E: Unable to mount '/preload' ". So when I try to boot my I777 I have bootloop on ROM logo, either SlimLP, CyanogenMod or CyanideL. I tried to repair\resize partition in TWRP with no luck. Odin and stock firmware is no help - it always fails because of partition. So I found original PIT file pulled out from stock ROM, flashed that PIT using Odin and now I can either flash stock firmware thru Odin or flash some kernel with custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. So my guess is to find such PIT file that will fix your issue.
Hope this help.
UPD: I was be able to install SlimSaber(KK 4.4.4), so I suppose if you getting "E: Unable to mount '/preload' " you can either flash original PIT or you can find ROM that don't use /preload partition.
Having A Tablet Stuck At Boot Logo Is A Serious Problem
It Happened Also To Mine But A Different Tablet

I have followed the instructions to return to stock, but they just do not work at all. Modified TWRP can see internal storage, but standard TWRP can not.
I shouldn't have to Odin back to stock, that seems ridiculous.
Currently running CM13 with the Virtual Repartition, all is working fine, although slow.
Here is what I have tried so far.
Attempt 1:
Flash newest TWRP image via Heimdall.
Boot intro standard TWRP.
WIPE-->ADVANCED WIPE-->REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM-->INVALID PARTITION SELECTION, and the only thing visible is Dalvik Cache.
Attempt 2:
Boot back into CM rom to test. It works.
Flash back to modified TWRP via Heimdall. Recovery works and can see the file system.
WIPE-->ADVANCED WIPE-->REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM-->CHECK INTERNAL STORAGE-->INVALID PARTITION SELECTION, and my check mark disappears from the INTERNAL STORAGE checkbox.
Wipe internal sdcard.
Try again WIPE-->ADVANCED WIPE-->REPAIR OR CHANGE FILE SYSTEM-->CHECK INTERNAL STORAGE-->INVALID PARTITION SELECTION. Same result as above.
Flash back to standard TWRP.
Same behavior as Attempt 1.
I'm going around in circles and getting nowhere. Odin seems like overkill for what should be very simple. What am I missing?
Any help would be appreciated! I am following the guides and it's just not working. I've been doing this since 2009 so I'm not a complete noob.
Thanks!
same issue here, I'm right now downloading stock firmware hoping that will solve this issue, then root - install custom recovery & re-do the re-partition.
I have downgrade the twrp to the previous version, and all the partitions were visible again. Please do the same.
Confirmed, that was indeed the issue.
So there's no need to use Odin to get back to stock partitioning? Which twrp are you using?
