Hi everybody, i am new to this forum, i recently tried to root my galaxy s3 sgh-I747 but my pc got frozen and the proces stoped in the middle. So when i turned on the s3 it didn't turn on. So i used a tutorial to try to get my phone working and i use the sgh-I747 4.1.1 software version. When the cell phone reboot it did turned on buy a message saying android had stopped working come out. so i tried reseting the s3 to factory but some errors come out.
Now when i go to Android system recovery it sais
"E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount 'data' (Invalid argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : ATT
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount 'data' (Invalid argument)

Your phone model is the AT&T SGH-I747 correct?
First we need to know which version was your phone running before you had this issue happen 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.3 ?
since you say you were trying to root we can assume your phone was all stock right?
What were you using to get it working again Kies, Odin, CWM, TWRP??? and what were the associated files you used?

Yes, my phone model is AT&T SGH-I747.
I was running the 4.1.2 before this happened.
Yes it was with warranty and the samsung software.
I used odin, and i used a phile called "I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5".
Hi all--apparently I "softbricked" (or "soft bricked") my unlocked at&t s3 (SGH-I747) that I rooted since, after I factory reset and cache wiped my 4.1.1, I get passes on Odin whenever I try to install 4.1.1 again, which is all I wanted to do so I could try to upgrade to 4.3, but I never got that far. I just can't get 4.1.1 working again after a factory reset cache wipe.
What happens, now, is that my phone just can't get past the pulsing blue samsung logo after rebooting into any new 4.1.1 firmware I load with Odin (and I tried a few options--both stock SGH-I747 4.1.1 and the one here), or root66, but my phone just gets stuck on the pulsing blue samsung logo and stops there every time. Kies can't connect to my phone any longer, either, and it won't recognize my phone for a firmware reset, and my computer will no longer recognize my phone nor successfully install drivers for it when it's trying to boot (when I connect my phone in recovery or download mode, however, my computer will install a driver to let the computer see the phone, but I can't actually do anything with the phone after that--and Kies doesn't connect after the computer installs these drivers, either).
So, in sum: I can successfully flash 4.1.1 stock/alternatives with Odin ("pass!") but that doesn't get me past the pulsing blue samsung icon. I think I've tried to flash a new boot partition during this process, but I'm not sure. Any advice would be much appreciated, since I've been working on trying to fix my phone for a day and a half now without any luck
Slight update: I installed CWM Recovery (PhilZ Touch) and wiped again but after loading the 4.1.1 stock/alternative (above link) my phone--still--won't get past the pulsing blue samsung logo still.
Additional info.: when I boot in recovery mode after flashing the above root66 rom, I get the following errors:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : ATT
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)

Also, I just noticed when I try to factory reset again it says this:
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

etc.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it very much. I honestly can't do anything until I get help here.

Hi all--apparently I "softbricked" (or "soft bricked") my unlocked at&t s3 (SGH-I747) that I rooted myself, later, since I get passes on Odin whenever I try to install new firmwares, so I don't have the same problem those trying to roll back to 4.1.1 after failing to get 4.3 going, since in my case, I just can't get 4.1.1 working again after a factory reset cache wipe. I wanted to put a stock 4.1.1 on so I could try to update to 4.3, but I never got far enough to even try that.

If you're just looking to get back to stock 4.3, you can use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496425
You'll need the Heimdall suite:
http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Once the drivers and all are there, use the Flash tab in Heimdall and attach each file appropriately.
I had to do this same process recently so feel free to hit me up if you have an issue.

Well, I haven't ever had 4.3 on my phone, so there's nothing to 'get back' to. I was wanting to upgrade to 4.3, but then my factory reset/cache wipe made my phone unbootable after installing 4.1.1 firmware roms. If you think I should just try to install 4.3 in the state my phone's in now, then okay--but that seems to possibly introduce other problems, from what I've been reading elsewhere.
Did you get the stock 4.1.1 firmware from sammobile.com?

Yes, as it turns out I did that already--I recognized the site immediately. I downloaded the default at&t rom again and will try flashing it (again) in the morning, but I doubt anything new will happen.
Try flashing 4.1.1 again in Odin, uncheck everything except F. Reset. When you see reset in the status windows, remove the USB cable, remove, the battery, replace the battery, go into recovery, perform a full wipe, then reboot. Do a full wipe before you first boot the newly-installed OS may fix the issue.

First, when I go into recovery after flashing 4.1.1 default for at&t (though my phone is unlocked and was rooted--don't know if the root is still there after all that's happened) it says right away
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data'(Invalid argument)
#Manual MODE#
--Appling Multi-SCSC...
Applied the CSC-code:ATT
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)

E: etc.
Then, when I try to wipe it gives me an error:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
Then rebooting freezes on pulsing blue samsung logo--again

Strange--I just booted up in recovery mode and wiped again; this time I got no errors, so I rebooted and--it works now in 4.1.1. Why it never wiped altogether before, when I didn't do anything different, is confusing; but there you have it. Now I'll venture into trying to get 4.2 or something.
Thanks all for your patience and help, even though in the end it worked on a fluke.
Glad you got your phone working. You do not have the 4.3 bootloader and, if I were you, I would not install the ATT 4.3 OTA update. This will install the 4.3 bootloader which makes it more difficult to get back to stock.

Some people have no problems at all, but CWM has a history of not wiping properly. That's why I don't using it anymore. There always came a point when it just would not wipe properly.
A Friend gave me his galaxy s3 since he recently upgraded to a note 4, so naturally i wanted to wipe everything on it and i figured the fastest way would be me doing a factory rest. . so the phone does its thing then reboots into recovery with the image of the android guy on his back with a red cation thingy above him.
i get the following messages below the blue option menu thing that you scroll with using the volume rocker. :
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
cant mount '/data' (invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
and others like it all saying it cannot mount /data
i tired using kies to have an emergency firmware update but ask me for a code.
would be installing a custom recovery and downloading a custom rom fix this or not ?
please help
Hi there !
I have an Ascend Mate(M1-U06) here which stopps booting, first it shows the Huawei logo, then a white android logo - thats all.
When i enter recovery mode it works, the phone shows me this line:
""""
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
ensure_path_mounted Failed
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
""""
Flashing or wiping in this menu fails.
Meanwhile I'm familiar with adb/fastboot.
Drivers are installed(Win10), phone is recognised, bootloader is unlocked.
I tried flashing several images, I tried flashing TWRP, everything worked well but nothing changed.
After flashing TWRP 2.6.3.3 I enter recovery mode and there is still stock recovery mode(3e).
What am I doing wrong, did i forget something ?
Can i use every TWRP Version for the mate ?
Tried to flash stock rom without success.
any ideas
thanks in advance

So, I've got a Galaxy Tab S 10" (SM-T800X), its the retail demo version and I've been trying to remove the retail demo firmware, I can't factory reset the device because the option is greyed out. So far I've had no luck, I've tried using Odin to install a stock ROM but that doesn't do anything. I've tried going through recovery mode to wipe the device and it says that MDM doesn't allow factory reset. Tried running Odin a few times in case it just wasn't working the first time. I've now encountered a new problem where its stuck on the Samsung logo when I try to turn it on, even after running it through Odin, and whenever I boot it into recovery mode I get the message
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/log/recovery_lot.txt
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/log/emmc_checksum_log.txt
I'm at a loss as to what I should do here, I don't use android and have never rooted a device so I've just been reading what I've found on the internet to attempt to solve it.
Anyone got any ideas what I should do now?

You need to install TWRP. Factory reset within TWRP, reboot to Download mode then install the stock firmware with odin.
