[Q] SGH-I747 trouble writing to /cache during flash, need troubleshooting advice - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

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:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
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.

need help flashing rom from odin

was getting ready to go to CM10 and wanted to wipe everything on my phone. went through and erased all user data, cache, etc... however, i also wiped the system partition. now i dont have a new zip to flash to install the firmware again and i cant mount it to USB to transfer one. has anyone seen anywhere to get the CM roms in tar or md5 format so i can just flash them from odin?
any other ideas would also be appreciated.
found an at&t stock rom so far (im using rogers so dont know if that is causing this error) when i go to flash it i get:

Problem flashing custom recovery

Hey everyone i've got a problem.
I wanted to install cm11 on my ace 2 so first of all i rooted it. I then tried to flash custom recovery cwm6
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583845
flashed it, and got this error:
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recoveryonly")
E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)
install_package = (1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I then tried another custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
again, i got that error plus that the signature verification failed.
I saw that the second recovery is just an update for cwm 5 so i thought i must flash cwm 5 and then update it to 6.
Can anyone please help me and give me a valid link to a recovery that will work?
Thank you.
EDIT: I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682888
and tried to flash every of the recovery through odin and it didn't work.
I get this message:

Try flashing with odin again but before flashing open the tar and remove the bootloader out of it.
Hi, thanks for the reply cnote.
Would the bootloader be sboot.bin or boot.img or both?
thanks again
edit: or rather, how do you remove the bootloader and remake the tar file?

I believe it;s both. Just retrieve the tar file only.
sboot is the bootloader boot.img is the kernel .Have you tried the latest NH2 for your phone also maybe try using a pit file
The nh2 you will have to get from sammobile and the pit file can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609871
Also after odin is finished go into factory recovery and do a factory reset or its just going to sit at the boot screen
flashing pit file also gives an error :S

[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/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.
